RISE OF $10O,0O0,000 IN
 EXPORTS OF UNITED STATES.
Total For 1913 Is Estimated at $2,500,-
 COG, ,ooo-s74o, 100000 Over Imports.

The steady growth of the country's export trade is shown by the depart ment of commerce in estimating the figures for 1913 at $2,50O,OOOO00 com pared with $2,399,217,973 in 1912. or an increase of over $1O0O0O,0O0. The imports are estimated at $1, 756, ,OOO, 900.
 The known figures of exports for 1913 are $2,251 100000 for the eleven months ended November, and should the De cember output equal that of November the actual total for the year would be 2,497 100000. In the case<0f imports they amounted to $1 ,GO9, 100000 for the eleven months ended November, 1913, and would total $1,756,0 100000 for the year. if the December figure equaled that for November. This result would make the excess of exports over lm- ports approximately $740.000. .OOO-a difference exceeding that of any other year.
 In imports the total for 1913 will be less than 1912. but larger than in any previous year.
 Copper imports show an increase in quantity over the corresponding pc riod of last year, both in ore and in the pigs, bars and ingots.
 Coffee imports are much below those of 1912, the figures for the ten months ended with October, 1913. being 635,- 100000 pounds. valued at $SO,OOO,O0O, against 752.O0O.00O pounds. valued at $1O4, 100000 in the same period of 1912
 Tea shows fall in imports of $1.- 100000 in value.
 Manufacturers materials show. as group, a decline of about per cent compared with the corresponding pc riod of 1912.
 On the export side. crude foodstuffs for the ten months ended October 1913. show value of $15O,50O.O0O. against sos, 100000 in the same months of the preceding year. and foodstnffs partly or wholly manufactured. $26G,5O0,- GOO, against $264.75O.OO0 in 1912. Man. ufactures exported for further use in manufacturing amounted to $339. .O00..

SHE ENJOYED AERO LOOP.
"A Grand, WhirIine Delight" Says
 Miss Davies, English Aviator.

Miss Trehawke Davies, the first Wo- man to loop the loop in an aeroplane' describes her experience as "a grand, whirling delight" Miss Davies went up at Tendon, England, with Gustav Hamel in an eighty horsepower Morane monoplane.
 After flying at an altitude of 10000 feet they. executed perfect loop. came down 300 feet and rose to q height of 1000 feet and looped the loop second time Then. to the amazement of the onlookrrS. the upside down machine ap peared to stop dead for one thrilling moment. It lowered uncertainty in the air and then began to plane down on its back. The pilot. however, had his machine well in hand and righted. it on the downward journey.
 Miss Davies is one of the women pio neers of aviation in England and. al. though she does not steer an aeropiane herself, has crossed the channel several times and flown more than 12,OOO feet above the land.

COLONEL GOETHALS DISAP-
 PROVES.

Colonel Goethals, whose opinion should carry weight, declarese that it would be poor business to attempt to utilize the Panama canal machin- cry in the Alaskan railway work or in river and harbor improvements in the United Stated, This spells h pretty theory that has been advanced by congressman and others who have had an idea that the entire Panama canal machinery equipment might be transferred to the States and used to advantage on public enterprises.
 Discussing the matter before d Sen ate committee, Colonel Goethals de clared that it would not pay to bring any of the machinery, except, per haps, some of the dredges, to the United States for use in any kind of work, and that it was more ecOnomi- cal always to begin with new equip ment. Machinery in the canal zone had not been kept in condition, he dQUeu, pdllS o1 I4cliy 14AeiSAtAVo AAo longer needed having been used to repair others. Moreover, he advised that much of the equipment would be useless in the kind of work pro- posed, even if it were in perfect con- dition, even the dredges being better fitted for harbor improvement than river work Colonel Goethals said the canal equipment could be sold at best prices to South American railroad contractors.
 It should be possible, however, to transfer the working organization of the Panama canal forces to Alaska and get the benefit of it's experience. This would result in big saving of time in preliminary organization and in the end would doubtless show a gain in efficiency and economy. The men who directed the building of the canal should make short work of the Alaskan railway enterprise and their selection for the work would satisfy the country that speed economy and efficiency would mark the progress of the undertaking.-Taco Tribune

CHAIN OF POOR MEN'S BANKS
Side Lights on Loan Project In Which
 Carnegie Is Interested.

Carnegie Is Interested.
 A system of industrial loan banks on |, scale much larger than has ever be- fore been attempted in this country is about to begin operations in New York and elsewhere.
 The movement has for it's purpose the elimination of the loan shark by enabling workingmen to get small loans without security other than good character.
 Andrew Carnegie and Vincent Astor are said to be interested in the prof. ect, which is under the direction of Dr. Elgin R. l.. Gould of New York.
 Julian Rosenwald of Chicago is an- other leading promoter of the scheme.
 The experiments on which the lar ger movement is to certain extent predicated, according to Dr. Gould, have taken place ip sixteen cities and towns during the last four years.
 While the scheme is philanthropic in its nature. Dr.. Gould says it is to be undertaken only after experiments convince the organizers that it will pay Its own way and be in no sense a charity.
