HAT INDUSTRY STIMULATED.

Consul General Thomas Sammons.
stationed at Yokohama, Japan, has re-
ported to the department of commerce
that the cutting of queues In China
has greatly stimulated the hat indus
try.
In 1910 Japan sold to China $751;
263 worth of hats" writes Consul
Sammons In 1912 the sales amount
ed to $S6S.713. The great increase in
Japan's sales to China resulted from
the demand for inexpensive felt hats
and cloth caps for the immediate use
of the Chinese who have cut their
queues.
''The demand for hats and caps
among Chinese men is greater south
OF the Yangtse river than in the
northern provinces, the manufactur-
ers of this class of Japanese goods
being advised that the cutting of the
queues was more active in the south
than in the north"

GIANT SUBMARINES PLANNED.

While the navy department con-
sistently has been extremely reticent
concerning its submarines, 1t has be-
come known that the plans for the
three vessels of this type authorized
by the last session of congress, and
for which bids are about to be asked,
contemplate vessels much larger than
any now in commission.
Although the pioneer in submarine
navigation. the American navy has
been outstripped by European engi-
neers in the matter of size, speed and
offensive power of underwater craft.
The navy department designers now
are planning much larger and more
formidable vessels of this type, and
some of them prophesy the develop
ment of the submarine into a giant
battleship that will replace the dread
noughts in the first line of defense.
They even contend these vessels would
be able to disappear beneath the sur
face of the sea to escape a return fire
after discharging their great 12-inch
rifles at an enemy.

ARMY LOSES STRENGTH.

Increasing difficulty in securing en-
listments for the army is becoming
SO grave that an appeal may be made
to congress by the secretary of war
to amend the existing enlistment laws
If the army is to be kept up to Its nor
NAL strength. The reports indicate
an unwillingness among the young
men of the country to contract away
their time for a period as long as sew
en- years, even after 1t is explained
to them that only four of these years
must be spent with the colors.
With growing demands for troops
for garrison duty in Hawaii and the
canal zone and for the recruitment of
the existing regiments up to the full
strength, this failure of the recruiting
service b giving serious concern to
army officers.

LEADS IN SUGAR CONSUMPTION.

a year. according to the latest statis-
tics compiled by the government ex-
perts. Americans need not believe
that they are the most sweet-toothed
people. however. for in the United
Kingdom the per capita consumption
is said to be S649

made public by Secretary of Com

The United States is the greatest
sugar consuming country in the
world. according to the report. 1t
consumes annually almost one-fifth
of the entire amount of sugar pro-
duced In the world. In 1909-10 It con-
sumed 3,2S5.771 Tong tons, as COM
pared with 1,707,956 tons by the Unit

and 1.116,315 tons by Germany, all
other countries consuming less than
100000 tons each. The per capita
consumption of the United States in
the same period was 1913 pounds,
which was the highest except that OF
the United Kingdom, which had an
apparent per capita consumption of

TO INVESTIGATE ELECTRICITY
DANGERS.

Experts in the United States bureau
of standards are now making plans
for an investigation of the dangers to
life and property from electricity pro-
vided for in the amendmsnt to tho sp-
preparation bill of the last congress
introduced by former Representative
James M. Cox, now governor Of Ohio.
This investigation will be started dur
ing the coming summer and the work
will be conducted by DR.. E. b. Rosa
and his assistants of the bureau of
standards, under the direction of DR..
s.. w. Stratton.
This study of methods of safeguard
ing life is looked forward to by cleo
trical men to produce results In the
line of human conservation more i'm
portant than any other work of the
government to lessen industrial acci-
dents, except perhaps the investiga-

With the rapid increase in the use
of electricity as force of production
and transportation and for purposes of
lighting and heating there has been a
marked increase during late years in

PHILIPPINE TRADE
Imports From United States by
Islands Show Increase.
Large Gain Is Shown In Cotton Goods,
the Sale of Which Almost Doubled
as Compared With Previous
Similar Period.

Washington. - During the nine
months ending with March last the
value of the imports from the United
States into the Philippine Islands was
s19,46S, ,592, or A per cent. of the total
Importations, which amounted 10 S43,-
S17,234
The increase of per cent. in i'm
ports over the previous corresponding
period was due almost wholly to In
creased importations from the United
States.
Oficial statistics of the foreign COM
merce of the Philippines, compiled by
the bureau of insular affairs, show
also that this country figured In the
Philippine export trade to the amount
of 6,S37 JIG, or 80 per cent of the to-
tai value, as against S15.616,S67 for
the same period of the previous year
Among the articles imported into
the islands from the United States,
says a statement from the insular bu-
beau, cotton goods showed the most
marked increase, the value during the
latter period being $5.1S9.464, as
against $2,991 ,036 during the former,
an increase of more than 80 per cent.
"The total value of cotton cloths i'm
ported into the islands during the
nine months ending March. 1913, was
$S.G25 ,S96 as compared with S6SS0,-
1872 during the previous year.
"Other commodities which figured
In the increase in importations were
wheat, flour, automobiles, machinery,
mineral oils and rice.
"The increase in the value of rice
importations was due entirely. how
ever, to the higher prices. as the guam
tity imported was slightly less than
during the previous year. The only
notable decrease was in the imports
of cattle.
"The United States purchased hemp
from the islands to the value of $10.-
O1S,57O, an increase of $4,353,715 over
the same period for the previous year.
Approximately S0,000.000 cigars, with
a value of $1,708,293, were exported to
this country, which represents ma
terial increase. There was reduc-
tion in the value of sugar and copra
expectations, particularly to the Unit
ed States, due principally. however, to
reduced prices rather than to reduced
production"
