WHY Women Are Thin In U. 8.

"Tsn't n funny" said a New York
woman in Washington, that Ameri.
can women become so dreadfully
stout after they have lived abroad
for a few years? In Berlin recently
ran across an old schoolgirl chum OF
mine, who had been married three
years before to a German army OH
Ger, and the very sight of her shocked
me. She was just like a butter ball.
Since then / have made observations,
and | have come to the conclusion
that the higher cost of living In
America has a good deal to do With
keeping our women with good figures
In Berlin one can get q taxicab Tor
all the afternoon for mere song.
AS the cabs are 80 cheap, the women
naturally ride everywhere they go
Then there is that quiet air OF salts
faction that everyone carries. 1t Is
the most natural thing In the world
for a woman to get fat under such
conditions"

PRESSURE OF WATER.
Its Effect Upon a corked Bottle Low

cred Into Ocean Depths.
A bottle partly filed with fresh water
and tightly corked can he lowered into
ocean depths, and on being raised TO
the surface 1t will be discovered on
opening 1t that the fresh water has
been replaced by salt.
This really extraordinary phenome-
non is explained in the following way:
The pressure of water increases as
the distance from the surface in
creases. Thus ut the distance Of a foot
beneath the surface the pressure Of the
water a square inch will be about half
n pound; ut distance OF. say. 200
feet 1t will be 125 pounds to the
square inch. At ocean level the pres
sure of the atmosphere is little over
fourteen pounds. Thus If a bottle con-
tanning air were lowered thirty feet be-
meath the surface the pressure of wa
ter would more than counterbalance
the pressure of the air. Ordinarily at
this depth. therefore. the pressure of
water should he sufficient to drive the
cork within the bottle, but the cork
Is tightly wedged in position. To
squeeze 1t within the bottle it, too,
must first be compressed. and also
there is friction to be overcome.
The distance varying, then. accord
ing to these conditions. at some point
beneath the surface the weight of wa
ter will force the cork into the bottle.

Is an economic situation that the
American manufacturers have argan-
ized themselves to remedy. They are
now determined 20 go into the foreign
markets themselves, and 70 keep the
profits now going into European pock-

This was the incentive for the or

Henry r. Wills. secretary Of this
body of Manufacturers, has also stud |
led the situation. He has realized the |
possibilities Of the export trade and
has spent years impressing the facts
upon the producers in America. In .
statement Mr.. Wills says:
THE fact that the value Of Ameri-
can manufacturers exports increased
by 14O,O0O,O00. and that the value of
these exports has reached 1910 600 900
during the fiscal year just closed,
gives US a substantial basis for QUO
claim of billion and a quarter export
trade in 1912, and 100000 600 ex-
port trade within the next five years.
Another point Of unusual import
ance i'm this connection is the fact that
the quiescent state Of domestic trade
is naturally causing the American
TO look more and more
into foreign fields for business. The
for a record breaking ex-
port trade was never so great as that
which the present year offers. our
association is engaged in making the
foreign markets the means Of main

PRES. TAFT and JAP
AMBASSADOR CONFER
Baron UChidd Invited to White
House

Washington, March 22-President
Taft has invited Baron Uchida, Japan
ese ambassador, to a conference at the
white house. The presidents object
is doing this is to personally set It
rest the irresponsible stories that have
been published to the effect that the
army maneuvers in Texas and Cali
fornia were in a vague way directed
toward Japan.
President Taft has been greatly an
noyed by persistent reports to the eff
feet that Japan had negotiated with
Mexico a secret agreement for a coal
ing station on the Pacific coast, aad
mat the United States was menacing
Mexico as a protest.
While confident that the Japanese
needed no assurances
either private CT official as to the pur-
poses of this government, President
Tat today conceived the idea of in
viting Baron Uchida to the White
House for a conference, so as to give
the greatest possible publicity to a
d riql which the president hopes will
carry conviction to the American
people.

WE MAY YET HAVE
TO Fight MEXICO
Invasion Of Texas War Talk
Again

Washington, March 22.-The seiz-
IRE of arms and ammunition by al
legged agents of the Mexican govern
ment ct San Antonio and the invas-
ion of Texas by Mexican insurrectos
brought the Mexican situation forcibly
TO the attention of President Taft to-
day.
Reports were received from the
governments agents in Texas which
are believed to have contained matters
for grave reflection on the part of the
cabinet at today's meeting.
War Clouds Loom Up.
Clouds suddenly loomed up, obscur-
ing the situation, which had commenc-
ed to clear up yesterday. President
Taft is said to be determined not to
precipitate a delicate situation by the
movement Of a large body Of troops
of "maneuvers," but the reports which
have come in since yesterday may
compel a change of attitude.
Appeals have come through the reg
ular channels from residents in Brew
ster county, Tex, who fear that, hav-
ing once established a precedent Of
crossing the border the MeXicans will
continue their raiding.

For secretary, Mr.. Clarence j.
White is prominently mentioned, and il
is regarded as not unlikely that he
may be chosen for the office. Mr
White is a highly capable man, and is
in a position to give considerable time

1t is probable that there will be a
large turnout of members at the meet

rectors, from which fourteen will be
chosen.
While the Board of Trade has little

larger than it has been and if the mem
bers will all pay their due and give
proper support the organization viii
