SEWING MACHINES IN JAPAN.
We Send More of Them Every Year
Only One Objection.

The use Of sewing machines con-
tinues to increase in Japan and the
purchases of needles for machine as
well as hand use show the industry of
the people. The adoption of Oeciden-
tai clothing ana styles, will naturally
| enlarge the demand for sewing ma
chimes.
Ii the native prejudice against slit
ches showing could be overcome or a
machine could be devised for invisible
stitching, the making OF kimonos
alone WOULD add wonderfully to the
demand for machines. Most Japanese
garments are basted together so they
may be taken apart for washing and
the threads are saved for use over and
over again.
One United States factory particu-
larry prominent in the manufacture of
sewing machines and foremost in this
trade in many countries has had woif-
derfui success in the Far East. Prae-
teal men studied the field. shipping
requirements. wishes of the people
whose trade was desired. methods OF
business, etc, and started with ample
stocks and repair parts.
The firm nov has scores of agents
scattered throughout the country. and
sales are stimulated by permitting
payment in monthly instruments of 50
cents to 81. The outlook is enhanced
by the probability that Japan viii not
attempt the manufacture of sewing
machines for several years at least.
In establishing trade in this line
schools were opened. native artists
employed who understood home tastes

cessfnl has the school education been
that the schools have been recently
abandoned in Japan and the lecturers
now go TO the homes of those buying
machines To teach them how to pro-
duce all classes of work.
IN some parts OF the Far East n
further step has been taken that will
give the sewing machine u broader

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.---'.As long
az Great Britain and the United States
stand together in friendship, they will
dominate the world. Should there
be rupture in their friendly rela-
tions--and there is no indication that
such a rupture win occur-other pow
ers might seek to change the. bal
ance of power OF the world said Sir
George II. Reid, the high commission
err for Australia In London, in an In
terview here today.
ITO one who lives as far from the
United States as l do said Sir George.
your tremendous strides and devei-
opment appear SO rapid that 1t Is
hard to believe they are built on Il
solid foundation. One feels that the
bubble must burst some day. But nay
visit has convinced me that you have
huiided solidiy. and that impression
OF which / spoke have been entirely
dissipated. We have the greatest ad-
miration for America and the Ameri-
cans, and when / say we, ! mean the
people of the entire British empire.
Sir George spoke of the work which
has been done by the United States
on the Panama canal. declaring that
IL was marvelousiy well done. He said
that Great Britain would not begrudge
the United States any reeompeHse
which IL could derive from the canal,
and he thought the American people
would recognize every treaty right in
regard to the canal to which they were
pledged.
