GERMANS ARE INDIGNANT,
VIII Not Give American Consuis tho
Cost Of Their manufacturers.


Berlin, Nov. 2e--American consuls IN
Germany are having slight success in OBJ
tanning replies from German manufac-
turers respecting the cost or production
Of their wares. how wages are distri-
buted. etc. as all or nearly all, of the
manufacturers have quietly combined to
resist the INQUIRIES which the consuls
were ordered by the state department 70
make for use by the House ways and
means committee is revising the tariff
The usual argument by the consuls is
that II is to the interest Of German
manufacturers that they submit the pro-
ducing cost of every article exported TO
the United States and thus avoid the
chance of Congress pushing UP the tariff
to an unreasonable level.
The Germans ordinarily reply that
the manufacturers Of no country can
be expected to supply competitor
with exact Information about hts bus
mess, The German official view seems
to be that the American Congress is
revising the tariff solely In the inter-
ests of It's own people and therefore
| through It's own experts should study
comparative trade situations and not
expect foreign competitors to throw
| open their books. As a matter OF fact
the consular interrogatories are look
cd upon "a impudent and have caused
much unpleasant feeling and a sus-
! ricion of sincerity Of the American
aims.

Although the holiday and unreasonable
weather handicapped business this week
further substantial progress was made
toward normal commercial activity es-
pecially in respect to the number OF wage
earners employed in the leading indus
tries. Mills that have been closed for
over year are reopening and many
plants that were on part time or force
are now in full operation. Recovery Is
making remarkable strides and almost
every comparison with conditions n year
ago provides a reason for the day de-
voted to grateful recognition. Retail
trade In heavy weight apparel was res
trIcted this week by high temperature in
most sections, but jobbins departments
we're busy forwarding goods for winter
needs and there Is q disposition among
country dealers to restore normal stocks.
Manufacturers received orders cover
ing deliveries we'll into next year, al
though there is no tendency to speculate
beyond making reasonable provision for
the future. Largo sales of tobacco, WOO
and other staples are noted with prices

aliens TO go home. while the increased
demand for labor Is charging the numbe,

ZIONISM.
The Great Movement Among the jews
~ Establish u Nation.

always been held by all Christians
| and Jews alike IS that there would
como a time when the Jews would go
back to Palestinn, The Bible has
several dozen prophecies which declare
that this shall be so. Wat can be
palmer, for instance. than the famous
promise in tho Book OF Jeremiah--"I
will cause the people OF Israel TO re-
turn to tho land tHet I gave to their
fathers, and they shall possess It. And
out of their city shal proceed thanks
giving and tho voice Of them that
make merry; and viii multiply them
80 that they shall not be few; and I
will glorify them, 50 that they shall
not be small"
Again and agar, since the Jewish
nation was torn W b. the roots, there
have como leaders who tried to put
| 1t back. But until these days of rail-
roads. steamships. newspapers and
cheap postage, It wasS impossible to
unto and organic race that had
been scattered to tue four corners Of
the earth. The Jews were poor. too,
and desp!sed and pushed into holes

IN THE HOUSE
Its Use For Cooking Purposes Both
In the Home and the Restaurant
Rapidly Expanding

Electric housekeeping apparatus of
many kinds is well enough establish
ed to be no longer classed among the
experiments or novelties, says the
Philadelphia Record. As expense is
sacrificed to convenience rather more
in a restaurant than in a household
the wonder is that the possibilities of
electricity did not sooner appeal TO
the restaurant men than to the house
keeper; for electric methods and APP
planes appear specially adapted to
restaurants.
The expense of the electric equip
ment lies chiefly in the first purchase.
The ordinary range burning solid fuel
can give to the cooking proper only
per cent of its heat energy; ? per
cent is wasted in obtaining GLOWING
fire; 20 per cent goes up the chimney
and | 6 per cent is radiated into the
room.
\ gas stove, which for a certain
cost produces a smaller number OF
heat units than the fuel range. loses
so per cent of its own heat units
through the necessary yentilating
current
/ In electricity 80 per cent Of the
! heat energy can be utilized. Even
/ though only from to 6 per cent OF
the form of energy, 80 per cent oil
this, or 4 p per cent of the whole en-
ergy, is utilized. This makes elec
/ trieity in this respect more than twice
as economical as fuel or gas.
But the preparation of the food In
restaurant may have been begun
electrically long before it reached ths
restaurant proper. Farmers in Ger
tain parts of the country. principally
| in the middle west. are now planting
with electric seeders and harrows.
After the seeds have been planted
electrically it is very possible tina
electricity may he employed some da,
| to assist their growth. 1t has al
ready been demonstrated that seed
grow much better when they hav'
been electrified or when electricity il
run through the ground.
Arc lights also have been used I,

well as TO increase the size of thei
growth.
After being grown the products o

When they reach the restauran
they are prepared by means of vari
Gus electrical appliances. One OF tn,
newest of these is the electric potato
