FOREIGN COMMERCE IN 1909.

The foreign commerce of the United States in
the calendar year 1909 exceeds In value that
of any earlier year with the single exception of
1907. The imports will be larger than in any
previous year, while the exports will fall slight
ly below those of 1906 and 1909.
This estimate of the years trade is based
upon official figures for eleven months, as pre-
sented by the bureau of statistics of the depart
ment of commerce and labor. Assuming that
the twelfth month, December, will show figures
of imports and exports approximately equal to
those of the Immediately preceding month,
November, the imports will aggregate about
1,475 million dollars and the exports about L.
$50 million, of which approximately 20 million
consists of foreign merchandise exported, and
the remainder,l125 million, domestic pro-
ducts. 7so
Imports free of duty will be larger than in
any earlier year in the history of our commerce
and will aggregate approximately 700 million
dollars, against little over 500 million in 1908
and 636 million in 1907, the high record year
prior to 1909. Dutiable imports will amount to
about 7S0 million dollars, and will be larger
than in any preceding year, except possibly in
1907, when the total was 7S7 million. This
estimated total of LAS million of imports in
the calendar year exceeds by over 80 million
dollars the highest import record of any earlier
year. that of 1907.
OF this 1,475 million of imports, about 525
million is raw material for use in manufac-
turing and 260 million partially manufactured
material for further use in manufacturing;
making the total value of manufacturers mate
rails imported nearly 800 million dollars, or
more than half the entire imports of the year.
The large increase in imports occurs chiefly in
manufacturers materials.
The trade with the noncontiguous territories
of the United States for the year will aggre-
gate about 173 million dollars, of which about
rs million dollars worth consists of merchan-
disc sent to those territories and about 95 mil
lion, merchandise received therefrom. The
trade in both directions shows an increase over
that of 1908, and this years total is greater

New Hawaiian Breakwater.

In 1905 the United States entered
into a contract for the construction
of a 100000 section OF the break
water at Hno harbor, Hawaii. illus
trations OF which appear in the jan
uary number Of Popular Mechanics.
The work has progressed something
over 1000 of the $500 feet provided
for by the present contract. 1t has
a top width of 10 feet. When the
entire breakwater is completed, the
cost will nave reached something like
$1.7O0.000, and its length will be
300 feet, beginning at the shore
and extending out across the opening
of the bay upon a submerged reef.
It will inclose and protect from the
northeasterniy swells body of water
approxlmsting 5000 acres, and will
make one of the finest deep-water
harbors in any ocean.

POLICEMEN MUST
Be SPIC And SPAN
ORDERS WILL. BE FOR NEATNESS
AND FIDELITY.
New Chief Expects Every Man TO
BE Acquainted With the Con-
tions.
WILL MAKE ROUNDS HIMSELF

II you are going TO be a policeman
in Paducah you will have to report
for duty on time. have your face and
hands clean, your clothes Wen brushed
and your buttons shining and sour
shoes glowing with polish; for that
is what the new chief. Henry Singery,
IL going to require of every man. The
demerit system is going to be worked
to perfection and Chief Singery will
take 1t upon himself TO make a daily
inspection of uniforms.
You will have to wear your cap or
helmet straight, swing your mace
gracefully, walk erect, keep your coat
buttoned and attend strictly TO busi-
ness. If you fail on any of these
points, down goes a black mark and
a certain number of black marks will
result in your going on the carpet to
explain why you can't act like a
policeman.
Chief Singery will be an enthusi-
astic chief and says he IL going TO en-
force the Jaw to the letter. Everybody
will look alike to him. He Is going
to require all his men to walk their
beats and learn every nook and cor
ner. What every patrolman knows.
he is going to know; for he is going
to visit the beats himself to learn first
hand the conditions.
Another important thing that the
new chief has not overlooked is that
of requiring all patrolmen to be ac-
quainted with all the fire alarm boxes
so that in case a fire breaks out they
will be able to turn in an alarm with
out having TO hunt" for a fire box
Some policemen do not know the To-
cation OF fire boxes and all that don't
may as well begin learning now. A
patrolmaE must be acquainted" with
his beat and make regular rounds
during the day and night.
The present system of DAY and
night beats will not be changed, as
Chief Singery regards the hall day
and half night watch too severe. The
day men will report for duty at 4:45
O'Clock and relieve the night men at
> O'Clock sharp. They will remain on
duty until 6 p. m. when they will be
relieved by the night force. The new
chief il making out his list OF day
and night men. but says there will be
Few changes In the present make up.

What Are the Trumps of Life?

"What are the trumps of lifeg
Hearts, - said the maiden fair;
For sweetheart, maid, or wife,
Love is beyond compare

"No," said the heartless flirt,
Diamonds the trump shall be;
Hearts are as cheap as dirt;
Give wealth and power to me-" nor
"No," said the man blase, 10
"Clubs are the trumps we want;
Such gauds for the young and gay,
But Clubs for the bon vivant"

THE AMERICAN OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES


summary of large benefactions in the
United States during 1909 gives a total of
$141 100000, which is $4O,OOO,OOO ahead OF
previous records A third of it went for edu-
cational purposes, and practically all for monu-
ments in one waylo another to the givers
Much more than that was given away unosten-
tatiously through various mediums by the com
parativey poor; yet, as contemporary points
out, this recognition of great wealth as trust
to be administered for the benefit of the human
race, is a distinctively American idea. The
rich in no other country SO consider it. Oi
course, the European rich are principally mem
bers of the nobility, whose fortunes were given
in recognition of the ''divine right. Van
Dyke declares the American does not worship
the dollar, but the ability that acquires it; and
admires, not the ulti-millonaire, who wastes
his patrimony, but the multi-millionaire who is
able to accumulate it, and able to administer il
properly. We are usually what our neighbors
expect us to be and wish us to be, and the
American multi millionaire is no exception tc
any known rule of humanity.
