Hon. Charles Stewart Rolls, Experienced
Autoist, Will Tour America

LONDON, Nov. 17.-England's pre-

Charles Stewart Rolls. as an aeronaut

ing toured in all parts of Europe he
is now turning his attention to Amer
lea. and leaves England on December 10

States Tt will be Mr.. Rolls first trip

occasions when ballooning, he has

Mr. Rolls is the third son of Lord
Observation-Disclosures his title of honor
able. Like many of the younger sons
of nobility, he was intended for the
diplomatic service. but he showed such
a strong bent for mechanics and sci
ence, and such an aversion to other
studies, that 1t soon became evident
the result of insistence on parental
wishes would be TO sacrifice good
engineer to make poor diplomat So
he was allowed to have his own way.
After going through Elton he went
up to Cambridge, where he specialized
in practical electricity and graduated
in engineering IN 1895
Rather tall and thin, he walks with
a slight SLOUGH: and no one judging
from appearances would take him for
one of the keenest and most intrepid
motorists of the day. 1t. is only when
you get him talking on his favorite
subject that his eyes light UP and you
see the spirit of the enthusiast shin
ing in them.
He began his wheeling early, for
when quite a little boy he used to come
down a hill near his home in. Mon

one of these spins he .bagged'' cur

which he drove on Sunday mornings
while his father was at church.
At fifteen years old he was notorious
at Eton for getting into scrapes
through his passion for electricity; and
after going up to Cambridge he soon
became known as tPetrolls" and was
seldom called anything else.
His motoring experience has been
probably unique He drove a car when
the English regulations permitted a
speed no greater than four miles in
the country and two in towns. and even
at that man with red flag was re-
CURED to walk in front of the car to
warn pedestrians of their danger. He
bought his first cara 8 h p. Peu-
geot-in France in 1896: and made his
first trip from London to Cambridge in
1t in eleven and three-quarter hours
four and half miles an hour.
This car caused such a sensation in
country lanes that men used to climb
trees and telegraph poles and scramble
over or through hedges to get out of
his way; and one poor woman in Scot
land went to the length of falling on
her knees by the roadside and pray
ing aloud to heaven for mercy and pro-
lection as he passed. Still it wasn't all
honey: for he occasionally had IN
pleasant experiences.
Once, while going home on his car
and taking friend with him, the
clutch pedal stuck down and he stoop-

had left the gear lever in the first

the car started and actually ran over
him as he lay on the ground. He thus
summarizes a few of the other things

HIGH RENTS IN GERMANY ARE
NOTICEABLE IN WORK CENTERs
Speculation I'm Real Estate Natural m
Large Cities Causes Advance in
Crowded Districts

Consul w Bardel writes from Ram
berg that while food and clothing have
become much dearer In Germany the
prices of rents have been materially in
creased also.
The increase in rents is more marked
in towns than in large cities With
the Improvement of industry during the
last few years 1t was principally in
the smaller manufacturing towns that
the demand for smaller homes became
SO large that even with increased ac-
tfvity in building the supply was far
from being sufficient An advance of
20 per cent was by no means uneom-
mon in rents for the most modest
apartments, which in their completion
are bare from any modern improve
ment, such as homes consisting of two
small rooms and kitchen. Small
towns In the suburbs of large cities
have had TO suffer the largest advance
in rents of rooms for the poorer classes.
Small homes have not suffered as
much of an increase in rents in cities
as in towns. Between the years 1901
and 1905, inclusive. the annual average
rents for smaller apartments increased
in Frankfort from s55.45 to $3.50, in
Stuttgart from s72.S3 to s75.21 in Bres-
lau from 1886 to S36.1s. in Konigs-
berg from s4522 to 1865. The rents
for small quarters remained the same
during that period of time in Aix-la-
Chapelle, Nuremberg and Madgeberg.
while IN Dusseldorf they decreased
from s53.31 to S52S4 in Munich even
from s76.S7 to s66.16. Heavier increase
in rents is shown in Dortmund, Duis-
burg and particularly in the cities of
Halle and ChemnitZ.
For larger apartments. however, the
price of rents in all larger cities has
been increased quite considerably. This
latter condition is not so much
attributable to limited supply and
large demand as to speculation
in real estate, which is de-
veloped heavily in larger cities, and
which must necessarily influence rents
The betterments In comfort and decora-
ton. keeping step with the increase in
rents. offer the better situated class
of people an equivalent, and. as rule.
the most expensive quarters seem to
find ready takers. OF course in city
centers in which the workingmen's
quarters prevail, speculation cannot af-
feet values of property to an important
extent. for the simple reason that
higher rents cannot be collected from
people whose income forbids greater
payments. quick and sudden de-
crease would only cause the working
mems families to live still closer to-
gether.

INDIA A FIELD FOR
OUR EXPORTERS
Consul General Points Out
How Agencies Could Ac-
complish a Great Good

To the many manufacturers and ex-
porters OF the United States who write
to Consul General W. H Michael at
Calcutta as to how they can get and
hold Indian trade. his invariable an
swer has been. Establish agencies in
the various cities of India, where your
wares may be inspected and prices
learned and where orders may be
taken which will command confidence
and respect" Michael also sends the
following quotation from a Calcutta
trade journal:
The Consul General for the United
States of America is very anxious to
have an American commercial museum
established in Calcutta, where samples
Of all kinds of goods suitable for India
could be displayed, accompanied by
catalogues and prices, SO that Indian
buyers could go and be put into direct
touch with the houses that supply the
articles they want. The Consuls of
other countries may follow his ex-
ample. We in India do not take half
the advantage of the means now easily
within our reach Of extending our for
eign commerce. Floating exhibitions
are now the order of the day. Ger
many has been using this means, with
great advantage to her commerce, for
some time past. A steamer fitted up
with all kinds of sample goods is sent
cruising about among foreign ports,
with experts on board able to give the
foreigners all the information they
want.
Last year the Japanese sent a lot Of
samples of their goods to Buenos
Ayres for exhibition in the museum
there, with the result that a CONNER
cial house in the Argentine capital
promptly sent an order for over $4,000
worth of Japanese wares through the
large order was given for glassware.
These are the first business transac-
lions between Japan and the Argentine
Republic. Calcutta is now in very
close touch with Argentina. We dis
patch two steamers every month to
that South American customer with
1000 tons of gunnies. Why can not we
use these steamers as floating muse
ums for other Indian goods which
would readily sell in Buenos Ayres ?
Samples of tea have already been sent
but, like Japan, we nave lots of other
things that would sell readily If thew
were only displayed to the buyers
there.
The truth is that there is plenty of
money in Buenos Ayres and 1t is get
ting to be quite full of rich people who
want to buy Injuries for the adorn-
ment of their persons and their houses.
Especially do they want handmade ar
ticles in silver and gold of Indian work

MUST SERVE TIM
IN THE ARMY.
Naturalized Frenchman at
Nearly Two Score and Ten
Is Learning Goose Step

PARIS, Nov 15.-It matters rot how
old a man may be, he may even be
a centenarian, but il he becomes a
naturalized Frenchman he must serve
his time in the army just as If he were
the veriest recruit in his teens.
1t IS a conscripted army, the French
one, and all over IS must put in thir-
teen days military service with some
regiment or corps either in the field
or in barracks. The born citizen does
his service before he is q, hut the
other day the queer case of the broth
ers Felendler came before the War
Minister. They have just become nat
uralized. One is IS, the other 30. The
Minister looked up the law. He decided
they must do their service, for, as. he
announced, there is nothing in the
conscript law mentioning the age of
naturalized citizens. Even If the Felen-
sdlers were 100 years old, they still
would have 10 serve.
So Leon Felendler. nearly two score
and ten, is the man of the moment,
for he is the oldest recruit in the
French army. The batch of recruits
with whom he is learning the goose
step are not out of their teens. The
graybeard has been photographed in
the midst Of his company and looks
strangely out of place. Hugo Felen-
der, his brother, 10 years old, has
just finished his thirteen compulsory
days with the colors.
The Felendlers were born in Poland,
b.. while they were still young chill
dren their parents emigrated to France.
Both Leon and Hugo married French
girls and have families of grown-up
children.
The other day Leon went 70 enter
his son. aged II. at one of the Gov
ernment'sf technical colleges. But
when il was found that the pupils
father was not born in France the son
was refused admission until Leon had
taken out naturalization papers. AS
soon as the Felendlers became natural
lied Frenchmen they were Immediately
conscripted.
And that is how Leon Felendler has
broken the record in conscripts. Two
of his sons performed their service
last year. and, therefore, are senior to
their father on the War Departments
lists
