Looking to the future, and to what
we may reasonably expect, with this
accelerating rate of production and
consumption per capita, and consider
ing 1t on the basis of the great in
crease Of population, the future pre-
sents figures almost startling In their;
magnitude. They are not, however,
more startling than would have been
a prediction ten years ago that our
iron output Of 1906 would be 25,000,-5
600 tons as a prediction a that time
that in this year we would be mining
s425, 900. 900 tons Of coal. Should coal
production per capita continue at the
same rate Of increase for the next six
teen years as 1t has during the last
sixteen, or since 1890, we would in
1922 have an output of about 1 ,2O0. 0t)0,-
600 tons a year, or If the rate should
continue for ten years as for the last
SIX we would have about 900, 000, 900
tons as our output In 1916.S Since
1890 the production Of iron per capita
has about doubled, a close estimate for
1906 making the per capita production
this year 662 pounds against 329
pounds III 1890 Continued at the
same rate for the next sixteen years
this would give us production per
capita in 1922 OF over 1900 pounds, or
with population at that time OF
about $4,000, 600 an output then Of
n, 000. 900 tons. IT ID hardly conceiv-
able that such enormous figures will
| be reached, for with increasing mag
lniture and with increasing cost by rea-
| son Of enhancement throughout the
world in the value Of iron ores the
! tendency may be to some decline in
the percentage of increase In prodnc-
tion. II the rate Of growth should
continue to increase for ten years at
THE same average as since 1900, we
would In 1919 have a total output oil
Iabout 5S.O0O,Oo0 tons, and ins 1922
largely over 7O.oOo.o0o tons We may

The most noticeable feature Of our
foreign commerce Of late years has
been the increase in the exports Of
manufactured goods. Busy as we are.
at home, we are gradlail::' extending
our trade and gaining an experience
and foothold in foreign markets
which bodies i'll for our competitors
should the day ever come when slack
trade at home compels us to seriously
struggle for world markets. The rela-
tive value Of the exports of agricul-

Though our merchant marine is the
one dead limb Of our tree Of business

mainly in foreign vessels, has kept fair

: Our Leadership in Cotton Growing.
Equally as important in its influence
upon the Industrial and financial in
terests of this country and Europe as
coal and iron and steel is cotton, Of
which we hold practical monopoly.
About 80 per cent of the worlds cotton
supply is produced in the south. It is
the basis of a manufacturing industry
second only to iron and steel in the
value of output. Our cotton crop,
which supplies the spindles of Great
Britain and the continent, and without
which starvation would face millions

So varied and extensive are the min
eral resources of our country that
wonderful expansion in mining may
be anticipated. Without any abate-
mert Of the activity in the baser min
erals such as iron ore and coal, there
is far-reaching development under
way in gold and silver and copper
mining. The speculative side may run
too far and bring about many losses,
but this activity will result in the solid
growth of the whole mining industry
on much broader scale than hereto
fore. Its progress has been great but
will now be far greater. The value Of

SHORT SLEEVES ARE
NOT OUT OF FASHION

There is no doubt that this NOUS
ouetaire sleeve Will be in high favor
for fall and winter. but that is not
saying that woman cannot wear a
short sleeve without being out of the
fashion. The latter is far from the
truth now. and with SO many hand
some dagk gowns being turned out
with short sleeves as there are to-day
there IS no likelihood that it will be
true for another twelvemonth. The
fashion for short sleeves will certainly
not die before the end Of the winter,
and a new fashion for long ones will
not find an entrance in the spring with
warm weather and thin summer
gowns ahead. Short sleeves are uni
versally becoming and eminently COM
Portable. and the feminine populace is
a bit spoiled by them and will not
abandon them readily.
The sleeve that is the most striking
feature Of the present styles is the one
that contrasts most strongly with the
bodice but that matches the yoke and
stock. Nine out of ten handsome
gowns that one sees now have lace
yokes and lace sleeves. Many Of these
sleeves are ruhled. much as ,they were
in the summer guimpes. Some smart
new afternoon gowns have full length
lace sleeves that extend over the back
Of the hand in point They fit the
arm almost to the shoulder like a
sheath. wrinlSling as they go. They
match in all cases the yoke Of the
gown. There is still a liking for the
long shoulder and great variety of
shoulder fixings give emphasis to the
effect CapelilSe- caps and Japanesque
folds continue to be seen. Whether
they will do so in the imported crea-
tions that will be on exhibition in the
openings a few weeks hence remains
to be seen. The Jacket Of the little

FASHION POINTS

A pretty way to trim a chlld's bre-
telle frock is to add a decoration
across the breast consisting of roset~
tes of inch-wide- white satin ribbon
and of black velvet ribbon on each
bretelle with a straight band of rib
bons across.
The ''halo" evening head dress is the
latest fashion to be accepted by the
feminine sex. It is merely a large
thin ring fastened to a comb in the
back The hair must be dressed high
in front and with the Grecian knot in
the back. and the comb is fastened in
this knot. the ring lowering lightly
above the hair at the sides and front.
Yellow and ochre shades, which arc
still popular. are by far he hardest
colors to wear. Tor most women. A
person having a clear. dark complex
ion. would look charming in a pale
lemon chiffon or ninon gown, embroid
cred and trimmed with silver and fine
valenciennes lace.
The motor hats are prettier than
ever. and are vastly becoming. They
fit closely to the head. and have
strings to Din firmly in the back. A
soft hat which can be bent down is
lust as serviceable and prettier than
the motor hat. MANY such hats are
worn. and also sailors. with a veil
tied over them and pinned at the nape
of the neck.
A metal belt shows interlockins
rings with tiny enameled flower in the
center of each. The clasp is formed

varieties of lace are used, but the

| Ali the new fall suits are trimmed
with buttons. The coats are fastened
double or single breasted with them
and many have side Sits in the back
decorated with half dozen rows OF
buttons. These buttons are of the
same material as the suit, or of velvet
