IN THE FAvORITE NORFOLK STYLE.

A IL Norfolk styles are being extern
~ sively worn this autumn and here
are two costumes designed for
the younger contingent.
The one to the left is adapted to girls
Of fourteen and under and, in this in
stance, is made Of plain material combined
with plaid; but it can be used effectively
for any combination or for one color
throughout. The blouse is q perfectly
simple one laid in box plaits that give
long lines. The round collar and long
sleeves are in every way desirable for
street use, but the same model can be
made available for indoor wear and
finished either in this manner or with
a sailor collar and shield and short sleeves.
The skirt is just simple one in four pieces
with box plaits laid over the seams.
For the IL year size, the blouse will
require ~ yards Of material ~. az
yards SO, az yards ~ inches wide; the
skirt and trimming 4 yards az. az yards
So, 2 yards "A inches wide.
Suits such as this second one are used
in numberlcss ways. Girls like them both
for the street and the house and often
the blouse is made in a quite different
material and worn with an odd skirt. 1t
combines the Norfolk and MILDLY ideas
and represents the very latest demand.
The skirt is six gored and box plated at
the front and back. For the useful school
and college suit, nothing better could be
devised. In the illustration, the material
is homespun and the trimming is broad
cloth.
For the I6 year size, the coat will require

THE SITUAT1ON IN MAINE.

Maine has never been. considered a prophet in
national politics, but the returns from its State cleo
ton on Monday are nonetheless interesting and sig
nifcant They show that in a holly contested cam
paign on issues the utmost strength the united
Republicans can muster is scant plurality of
three thousand votes. the leanest margin by which
that party ever held the Pine Tree State. y
It is reasonable to expect that If the Republican
ranks should march in unbroken phalanx in Novem-.
Der they could do little better If indeed we'll, as
in the State contest. 1t is foregone event that
they viii not remain united in the national election,
but will split between the Old Guard and the Third
TERRIERS; and thus both factions will dwindle to
impotent minority while the Democrats, standing
sody together will the presidential electors
In the recent State election the Taft Republicans
and the Roosevelt Republicans put aside their enmity
for the moment, their purpose being, as one
has we'll expressed it, to regain control of the State
patronage; the Roosevelt saints had compunc-
tions of conscience whatever about allying them
selves with the Taft burglars" But now that this
immediate end has been accomplished the breac. has
opened as wide as and it Will continue to
between now and November.
The significant fact is that the Democrats are
welded inseparably on national issues while two
factions of the Republican party helplessy
asunder In these circumstances the bare plurality
of three thousand will be changed to handsome
iority for Wilson and Marshall.

Our FOREIGN TRADE.

The Atlanta visit of Mr.. Ralph O'Dell, of the
United States Department of Commerce and Labor,
who is trying to stimulate Southern manufacturers
10 a keener interest in foreign markets, esDec-
tally opportune. ssV&>.
within the past few years the Industrial interests
of this city have multiplied wondrously The volume
and variety 6f their products continue to increase
and to call tor outlets. In 1912, moresthan ever
before our manufacturers have realized the fertility
of their field and have reached wider view of their
opportunities They are receptive to new ideas and
alerttg new suggestions
Mr. ODeil brought vivdly home to this section
and city the often repeated truth that American
manufacturers have been sleeping over their golden
chances abroad. IIe called attention to the fact
that while the worlds cotton goods trade amounts to
quarter of a billion dollars annually, the United
States ranks seventh in the export of cotton manu-
factures and this despite the Circumstance that this
country comes first in the production of raw cotton
and second in number of spindles:
What is true of American exports in regard to-
cotton goods is equally true of divers other lines of
trade Though the United States, including the
South has abundant for plying profitable
business with Europe and south America. these
means have thus far been sorely neglected.
The reason for this, according TO Mr.. oDell lies
in the fact that have failed to adapt products
to foreign markets and have been Indifferent to for
eign tastes and demands. ..
In this connection, Mr., oDell said, in addressing
meeting of manufacturers at the Chamber of Com
merce Monday:
I'VE must not only cater to the customers,
requirements as regards the construction, 'ridth,
dnish and length cut desired; zoe must also
cater to his requirements regards marks and
terms of credit
There toere three questions that prdc,tcGlly
eUery importer asked me: What are your termS'
What tciH it cost to get the goods here? HoW
long tOiH it take for them to reach me?"
Atlanta products have already found their way
to many corners of the world and the city's annual
trade with Cuba has attained substantial measure.
Whenever this field is exploited Systematically and
through cooperative methods, the reJuIes will multi
ply a thousand fold This city and state, along
the South at large must bestir themselves to prompt
and united preparation, if they to realize the
advantages which the opening of the Panama canal
will offer The subject is that calls for business
like and concerted action

SAVEING GEORGIA FROM

SAFER SEA TRAVEL.

The English have been rather slow and dispas-
sonate in their investigation of the Titanic Disaster
but from that very circumstance perhaps their work

PULLETS BY MAIL.

The limited parcels post recently adopted by Con-
gress though not ct in actual operation, is already
casting its shadow
The clerks of the Atlanta postoffice plunged INTO
their weter of morning mail the otner day to find
among letters and papers, dressed pullet.
1t will not be surprising if this is followed from
time to time by pigs and heifers jars of jam mixed
in with butter anu eggs.
The fact that people taking the parcels post

opened indicates the keen popular interest in this pro-
gressive step of the government. "e
