American exporters will have no great
difficulty on that score If they will
make the proper connection at Hav-
re. The transportation facilities of
the port are excellent and are being
enlarged.
1t is the expectation among French
engineers that the French consump-
ton OF copper will continue to ad-
vance in fully the ratio shown for the
last few years. Any artificially in
creased importation on account of the
low prices prevailing in 1910 and
1911 will evidently be offset by great
er consumption in manufacturing, the
demand in France responding, as in
other countries, to the expansion of
industrial enterprises in the domestic
field, ana i'm the extensive enlarge

How the standards" have been

Strangest OF all in this highly pro-
tccted Industry its employees are not
Americans at all. They are foreign
ers entirely, brought from the poor
districts Of Europe to compete with
the American laborer aid to force
down the scale Of wages
What is true at Lawrence is true OF
other centers of protected industry
The benefits of protection have not
gone to the worker at all and 1t is
rank hypocracy for anyone to so con-
tend. The standard Of living among
the workers has been lowered BY
competition from foreign fields while
the mill owners themselves have en-
loved protection against competition
from foreign mills, Meanwhile they
have formed trusts to control the Am
erican market and to boost prices TO
dizzy heights.
The protective policy these days is
splendid thing for a few men who
own the trust controlled industries;
but it means nothing to the workers
and to the consuming public 1t Is
nothing less than a systematic, com
prehensive form Of robbery.
1t is not hard to understand why
the Taft administration has been so
unpopular and how Taft comes to be
counted everywhere as the third man

DEFENDS PIE LIKE
MOTHER MADE

Home made pie from the hands
of a housewife with strong fin
gers isn't, likely to hurt anybody,
says the New York Medical Jour-
nal, which finds 1t difficult to ac-
count for the fact that SO many
folk make fun of pie as an article
of diet.
Strong fingers are necessary in
the making of pie crust, because
good, light crust depends upon
delicacy of manipulation and
such delieacy requires digital
strength.
"For only the strong have a
genuine lightness of TOUCH" says
the Medical Journal. This is
seen in the great pianists and vi
olinists and is one reason why
women do not make good sur
geons. A soggy paste, however,
made by frail fingers is only
esthetically Objectionable, for
resolute chewing will deprive it
of it's terrors.
1--WE refer obviously to the
home made pie and not to the
vast factory product. which bears
evidence of mechanical methods
in its composition without the
personal touch indispensable in q
work of art-even culinary art.
"Pie has been credited with In
digestibility because of its usual
place in the menu. 1t is eaten
generally after a meal which has
already furnished complete nour-
ishment. If a piece of cheese is
added there is complete meal
in itself, too frequently super
|fluous one."
