Manufacturers Day in The
Bronx Next Wednesday

In other words, within the next seven
years The Bronx is to have little more
than twice its present population.
To provide housing for the great in
crease of population will require the ex-
penditure of vast sums of money, the
employment of thousands of men and the
Improvement of great areas of land. with
such a stupendous realty activity as this
will entail, there ought to be myriads Of
splendid real estate opportunities in the
borough in the period in question.
Steps are soon TO be taken to improve
on a vast scale the waterways OF the
borough. The recommendation or the
War Department for an expenditure OF
over 1900, 40 for the betterment of the
Harlem Kills is now before the Rivers
and Harbors Committee of Congress. The
North Side Board of Trade hopes that
Congress will soon furnish an initial APP
propriation Of $4,000 TO begin the work.
The state is also looking forward to
adding greatly TO the attractiVeness OF
the borough for industrial concerns. III

BANK BRANCHES
ABROAD PRAISED
Provision in Currency Meas
urs Wins General
Commendation.
EXPORTERS WILL BENEFIT
Americans at Present Are Severely
Handicapped by Foreign
Exchanges.

An annual saving of millions of dol
lars is predicted as a result of the pro-
vision in the administration currency
bill permitting national banks Of the
United States to establish branches
abroad.
Foreign trade experts, who are the
ones, next to bankers. most interested
in this section of the bill, declare that
not only will the bankers who engage i'm
the financing of American foreign trade
through branch establishments benefit
greatly, but that the exporters will gain
an advantage over the present condi-
tiOns Of doing business abroad.
1t is declared that because of the lack
Of American banking facilities abroad,
due to the present banking laws in the
United States, American exporters have
been paying an annual tribute to Euro
Pean banks having branches in the
countries with which the United States
trades most This is especially true of
conditions in South and Central America,
where American trade with those coun-
tries IS financed by banks owned and
operated by. its competitors.
Foreigners Reap Profits.
The leaders in South American trade
with whom Americans are engaged in
'hS SSfNlSSA toillptNlllol are Gfedl
Britain, Germany. and Italy. All of
these countries have banks in the South
American countries. through which The
American exporter must do business.
Not only have these banks reaped ire
mendOuS profits out Of the business
but there is a vast amount of evidence
to show that they deliberately endeavur
to cutthrOal their American cumpet-
itOrs. 1t has been repeatedly shown
that banks handling invoices of Ameri-
can exports to South America copy the
Information as to prices. &c. contained
therein and pass on such information
10 exporters of their own nationality
This. OF course. puts the american at
a tremendous disadvantage. as it puts
in the hands Of his competitor all CON
hdcntial knowledge about his business.
on the basis OF which the foreigner
can 90 ahead and cut in on the Ameri-
can trade.
II is believed that the branch banks
which the currency bill contemp1ates
Will prove Of inestimabIe value as
sources Of information alone In this
respect II is expected that the small
American exporter. tn" manufacturer
with whom foreign trade is now side
line, will benefit to very large eX-
tent. Information about credits and
trade opportunities will he furnished
by such banks 10 producers and eX-
porters at home more eXpediliousIy and
accurately than it can be obtained un-
der the present lack of banking facil-
tiles abroad friendly to American trade
interests

gious Doctrines.
WARNS AGAINST ANARCHY

Cautioning his hearers agai the ad-
vance of anarchistic and anti-religious
doctrines, and decrying the number of
saloons in proximity to public schools of
the city the Rev. DR.. J. c Clark, of
Ha- "1e NJ. f. Church. delivered the an
nual address 10 the students OF the pub
lie schools at the church last night The
speakers remarks were Oased on the
need OF cooperation Of church and school
10 combat the two evils.
More than 60J students. of both public
and private institutions. including many
teachers and parents of school children,
We're present. The speaker gave statis-
tics, and gained the interest of his hear
erS his striking statements
Calling attention to the fact that there
ar: ten public schools within half a mile
of Hamline Church, DR.. Clark quoted
frCm statement sustaining the need
OF the Jones' Works legislation which he
received long before he came to this city.
and urged his listeners TO remember that
the saloons near the public schools were
a menace to the children Of those insti-
tutioIs. He said he was glad the law
would rtIy Eemedy this evil.
Pass TNcniy-FiVe saloons.
"Of the public schools in this vicinity.
there are twelve located in squares in
v hiCh there is licensed saloon" he
said. Two Of these school buildings arc
in squares IN which there are three IL
Ccnsed places. Pupils going from the
Central High School to the Public Lii
hrary pass twenty-five licensed places.
Pupils from tso other schools pass these
same places. Within one square Of the
Central High School and two graded
schools there are fourteen licensed bar
rooms.
'In these three institutions there are
i,92S children. Adjacent to a little circle
of about six blocks, where there are
something like 4,553 school children, are
located thirty-three saloons.
Just think over these figures. What
would happen to the country's childhood
IL it were not for the cooperation of
school and churchill it were not for
that Christian morality which enters into
the life of the great public school sys-
TENS of the land?
american 'citizens might well shudder
to learn that there are 1000 Bohemian
children in a single city learning an
Anarchist catechism. and that over this
anti-church and anti-school portion of
our fellow-men there floats the red flag
woven in the stripes of lawlessness and
disobedience
'One can easily see that in this great
melting pot of the nation the great battle
field Of the republic is over the cradle of
American childhood, and the forces In
this contention are not all spiritual and
educational On the one side is the in
fidel ,rsaev to break down both school
and church. He is always bold and
brazen and his defiance is backed BIZ the
hardness of the indifferent, the careless
and the conscienceless'

Mgr. Thomas J. Shahan, S. T. D.. rec

had been appropriately adorned for the
occasion. Immediately before the COM

quieter pattern
Shoes run the gamut. but the shoe
makers are fast forgetting the tremen-
dous swing on the outside Of the sole
that marked the average American boot
OF several years ago. One may get
proper boot for afternoon wear without
the extension sole and the proprietor
will offer no argument against it.
Gloves of sunburnt kid challenge the
popularity of the doeskin. Gloves are
distinctly in at the present moment.
Many men who formerly discarded them
altogether in the morning are now seen
gloved u all hours of the day. Button
less gloves are regarded as an affecta-
ton The lighter shades are not the
lemon kids of horrible memory, but the
right tone is>a cream tan, of which there
are two shades-pale and sunburnt. But
your really well dressed man still sticks
to the conservative shades.
Few Spnts Used.
1t has been said that spats came into
fashion because the capacity for inCreas-
ing the variety of colored socks had been
taxed 20 exhaustion, but although fewer
spats are seen there is expected no re-
turn OF the sock which cried aloud in
every color of the rainbow. for a reign
of quieter hosiery certainly has come

the crook cane still holds its own.
But there has been a revolution in af-
fairs of the umbrella. The only thing
in common that the new umbrella car
ried by the well dressed man has with
those of yesteryear is that they both
keep the rain OF. Many Of the new
models are without as much as a single
band of gold or silver and all fancy work
has been eliminated.
The keynote Of all good dressing this
year is extreme quietness.

MuhIpr Is Popular.

The knitted silk mufflcr, or wrap, has
become so popular that particular atten-
ton is being paid to it this season.
There is no new shape. The men seem
to prefer the long, narrow muffler, eigh-
teen inches long.
Knitted ties are selling stronger than
ever for the autumn and winter. The
best are broad and expensive. costing
from 50 to 81. None of the scarfs will
tie in a small knot. Except for country
use. the scarfs are all heavy, and If the
sailors knot is to be made it is folded in
a large. knot. Blacks with a contrasting
color underneath are a feature. Colors
in a very fine knit with Roman bars,
and the same pattern in an open, rough
stitch are good. For dress there is new
Tuxedo in granite grays with a corded
finish
There is also pattern with the ground
of black and white checks, on which parts
of flowers are woven in different-colored
silks. Decorative figures in colors or
black or dark brown also are being
worn. There also is a new printed scarf
with a navy-blue ground, ornamented
with white or yellow diagonal lines. with
circles at intervals between them. These
are imported. No one believes that the
present rage among the masses for velvet
neChWedr VIII ldSls anu %lduuldCluEtEs
are not encouraging it.
Knit silk Used.
There is no doubt that the real scarf
is in knit silk, and it goes well with the
collaTS of the winter, which is double
and high in the back and lower under
the chin, curving away in front, the
scarf being tied well up in the notch
of the collar. The dress collar is a
winged affair with the white tie formed
on the outside of the wings.
The imported shirts shown are of crepe
de Chine and silk. Ivory white is a new

darker than pure white. For evening
wear the ivory white silk fronts will be
more to the minute than the tucks that
were worn SO much last season. although
there are many men who still fancy the
latter. Popular demand still insists on
stripes and bars and checks, but the
