BIG CONTRACTORS
JUGGLE INSTRUMENTS

CHICAGO, Oct. 30,-The Juggling of
words for the benefit of contractors
has become a fine art, according to
revelations in Chicago of what profits
lie in trick phrasing of the specifica-
tions for municipal jobs. During re-
cent months contracting business has
been taken at cost-even at loss
to keep organizations intact" said
contractor "The one recourse OF some
firms has been to get specifications
fixed or else to skimp the work in
some ways" In one contract about
to be let by the harbor commission it
is said that there is no statement in
the specifications which prevents the
harbor commission from changing it's
mind. Suppose one concern is given
the contract and it is found quarter
inch steel sheet piling serves the puE'
pose of the constructions as well as
heavier! weight; 100000 feet of that
thickness can. be driven with profit
for $4,000. The bid is 1915, 200, so
they would have $195, 900 above a rea-
sonable profit. Even If piling three
quarters Of an inch thick were used,
the contractor would have $4,000
"velvet."

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O,-Exports
from the United States to Latin Amer
lea in the calendar year 1913 will ap-
proximate 335 million dollars. against
123 million in 1903 and 81 million in
1898. The growth in the decade just
ending was PIP million dollars, while
in the decade from 1898 to 1903 the
growth was 36 million dollars. In the
term Latin America" are included all
of South America, except British and
Dutch Guiana, the Central American
republics, Mexico, Cuba, Haiti, Santo
Domingo, the French West Indies and
French Guiana.
That the trend in the export trade
of the United States has been, in re-
cent years. distinctly toward American
countries is illustrated by the fact that
our exports to Latin America increas-
ed 1873 per cent in the decade ending
with the fiscal year 1913, while our ex-
ports to all other parts of the world
meantime increased but GA per cent.
To Argentina the exports in 1913 were,
in round terms, SO million dollars,
against 1112 million in 1903; to Bra
ziI, 421a million, against II million in
1903; to Chile Is million, against
million in 1903; to Mexico, SAY mil
lion. against AZ million in 1903; and
to Cuba, 701a million, against 21A mil
lion in 1903, the figures in each case
relating TO fiscal years.
Exports Grow.
This growth Of 1873 per cent in our
exports to Latin America is apparent
ly, however, a result of the increased
consuming power of those countries
rather than an increase in the share
which the United States supplies of
their imports. Figures just completed
by the Bureau of Foreign and Domes-
tic Commerce, Department of Com
merce, taken fro mthe official reports
of the countries in question, show that
the share which the United States is
supplying fthe imports of the Latin
American countries, was, in 1911, no
larger than a decade ago.
The official publications of the vari-
Gus countries in this group showing
their total imports and their imports
fro mthe United States indicate, when
aggregated for he latest year for which
statistics are available Tin most cases
1910 that but % per cent of the i'm
ports of the group were drawn from
the United States, while similar cal
culations covering certain earlier
years show. for 1909, "a per cent
drawn from the United States, for
1905, "a per cent, and for 1900. % per
cent; thus indicating. that while the
growth in exports from the United
States to Latin America during the de-
cade has been large, it has merely kept
step with the general growth of the
importations of those countries.
The total imports of the Latin
American countries in 1911 were 1856
million dollars, against 927 million in
1909, 725 million in 1905, and 452 mil
lion in 1900. OF the 1,166 million dol
lars worth of merchandise imported
by the group in 1911, those of Argen-
tina were 354 million dollars; Brazil,
PSI million; Chile, 127 million; Mex
leo, 81 million; Uruguay, At Million
and Central America, as a whole, So
million dollars. The annual imports

WILL DEMONSTRATE
SPRAYING OF TREES
Purdue Experts to Conduct
Experiments on Farm
Near Cambridge City.

Wayne county farmers and horti-
culturists will have the privilege of
witnessing an actual demonstration
Of tree spraying when the Purdue uni
versity experts conduct experiments
at the orchard of H. A. Whitley & Sons
four miles southwest of Cambridge
City, Saturday.
From the reports being circulated
regarding the success Of the spraying
experiments, the large crop OF sound
fruit which is being produced in the
orchard is due to the latest manner
of spraying. 1t was found that on the
trees left untouched there was only
ten per cent of sound fruit in the crop,
while in the other case at least ninety
per cent of the crop was sound
1t Is expected that many farmers
and fruit growers of Wayne and sur
rounding counties will attend the dem
onstration. The horticulturists have
been looking forward to the demon
stration in order that they may de-
termine for themselves whether or not
the plan of spraying is success.

NEW CURE FOR FAT.

There are few more battling things
with which a physician has to deal
than a tendency to obesity A nom
producing diet will often work
wonders. But sometimes 1t does not,
and there are a great number of peo-
pie who will not have their table
enjoyments ruthlessly cut down.
Obesity means simply a low oxygen
supply to the, tissues, or rather, low
cred power of combustion Literally
the fat does not burn. In many cases
this may amount practically to a dis
ease and results In mountains of fat
equally distressing to wear or to see.
For people so afflicted a cure of re-
markable simplicity has recently been
found. This is simply a subcutaneous
injection of solutions of collodial pal
ladium. Palladium is one of the rare
metals of the platium group, and may
be reduced to a powder of remark
able fineness, which possesses very
high oXidizing powers. When the
metal is pulverized under water it will
form !. a thin. glue-like solution, and
when this is injected into tissues 1t
raises the powers of the body to burn
the fat In remarkable way. This
must be done with circumspection,
however, because In very fat people
me heart works under a condition of
strain; and If this strain Is suddenly
taken off serious consequences may
follow. The reduction of flesh, there
fore, should be slow and with careful
attention to the heart action. Under
this condition it brings relief TO very
real afiiiction.- Golfers.

WATER IN CELLAR
SAVES MANS LIFE
One and a Half Feet of Rain
Water Breaks Fall from
Third Floor.

One and half feet of water was
the probable means of saving Philip
Mandolin, thirty-five years old, from
instant death when he lost his bal
ance while pushing a wheelbarrow
across a narrow plank on the third
story of new building at 1877 Halsey
street and fell to the cellar, landing
IN the water Ordinarily a person
railing three stories would probably
be killed, but the water served to
break the impact of the fall and also
water was brick floor. Mandolin
was picked up by his fellow workmen
and sent to the City Hospital in the
ambulance. He is probably suffering
from internal injuries and is said to
be in serious condition. He is con-
scious
Mandolin was laborer. He was
pushing a wheelbarrow of cement
across a narrow board on the scat
fold at the third story of the new
theatre building in Halsey street,
when the board slipped and Mandolin
and the wheelbarrow were plunged
into space. The barrow struck the
first floor and stayed there, but VAN
dolin went into the cellar into the
icy water.
Although Mandolin was knocked
unconscious, the cold water revived
him by the time the men reached
him. At the hospital he gave his
name and age and said he lived in
Fourteenth avenue, but did not know
the number.
