DEVELOP IN ALL DIRECTIONS.

It is a timely statement which is befug made that ali our opportuni- ties for increased trade do not lie in South America. While that portion or the western hemisphere affords a grand opportunity for the extension of our foreign trade if is nevertheless . fact and one which cannot be for- G0tten that there is a chance for our trade expansion wherever there is a market for goods.
 It wasn't so many years ago that ws were enjoying much larger trade in China but that has undergone g. change whereby American manufac- turers were underbid by some of the counties. which are now at war and fhie is particular1y true of cotton UcQds uanufactures. In the same way the opportunity of placing on more extenxive market the manufactured goods and raw material of this coun- try is at hand. It is time to go out Into the broad market of the world for the purpose of advertising United States made goods and extending the amount of ifs export trade.
 The undeve1oped field of South America deserves the most thorough &prt of study for it is there that this country should be doing a much greater business under normal condf- lions, but never is there such a time to push American made goods as when there is need for them. The chance G0 diAp1ay the merit of American 1nanufacture is no fnconsiderate ad- ytutAse bat only by striking while the 1ron fs hot can the deserved measure of success be obtained. We can stand development in ali lines and direc- fdu1,s and aS the result of tho oppor- f11nify before us an advancement fl, our trade with all sections of the w1rid at peace should be noted.

Three hundred and ninety-five years ago yesterday Ferdinand Magellan set sail from Spain upon his first voyage around the world. Of the five vessels that made up his fleet, manned by d. motley crew of 2S0 men, only one ship and IS men were destined to finish the Journey. Magellan was to die in a land unknown to Europeans. A hidden rock off the entrance to the strait that now bears the nayigat- or's name sunk the first ship. Mutiny was responsible for the death Of three ship-captains and the loss of another ship whose crew suddenly turned tail and fled back toward Spain. On November 2s. 152o, Magellan, with three ships remaining. sailed out of the strait and was "the first that ever nurst into that silent sea- of the Pacific. Ten thousand miles of unfatho.ned ocean lay between him and his arst sight of human beings. Beset with scurvy, putrid drinking water and food alive with worms, they sailed onward "continuaIly ever follow ing the some towards the West" On March Is, 1921 they sighted the Philippines. Converting a tribe to Christianity. Magellan turned cru- sader and accompanied his converts to war against a neighboring tribe. The battle was distastrous. Magel- Ian lost his life. The converted na- lives turned OH the Spaniards, nas- sacred thirty of them and drove the remainder of them to sea. One of the vessels, unfit for future sea service, was burned another sprang a leak, and a surviving ship man. ned by 46 sailors with Sebastian del Cano as captain set sail for distant SpairI Almost three years 10 a day from the sailing of Ma geilan upon the first circumnavi- gation of the globe, the vessel with only IS men surviving sailed into the mouth of the GuadilQuiyir, in Spain.

DART AGAIN.

Darts and seams long forgotten and unused are being again revived, and the newest autumn styles will show instead of the baggy. loose lines of the kin1ono blouse and the shortened waist line the quaint. perpendicular lines of the fitted basque and the heightened waist line, draped with a full sash. Rumors of. the impending change of line have come to Us from Paris repeatedly, but somehow very
 little credence was given them. for the accepted styles of the summer were so very different. Smart women were wearing fluffy. befri.led clothes. with puffs and fiounces and all sorts Of furbelows, and it seemed scarcely possible that they would turn from these picturesque styles to the formal, quaint fashions of 1880.

TO THE EDITOR
Matr5monjai Mathematics - Neither
 Four Nor Six.

Afr fcditor;-A local writer and wit, undertook the other day to correct in your columns mathematical lapse of the New Haven Journal-Courier, in respect of a matrimonial combination reported in that paper, but at the same time made 8. ,niscalculation him- self in his estimate of how many hearts might peat as one in the case of those three post ofice employees who had taken to themselves wives.
 He writes, '-usually, we believe, when three mail men carry off such dainty packages SIS brides, six hearts, instead of foIP frhe JourHal-Courier's estimate), beat as one" We insist that this conclusion does not occur to us because of it's mathematical in- consistency, for if it be true that in the case of one union. the two hearts beat SIS enc, it is evident that in three such unions the six hearts must beat as three? Your corres- poIlde1ltis estimate, therefore, being paIpably wrong, in suctl an important connection, we hasten to assist his good intention to set things right by making this criticism in no unfriehd- iy spirit. We stumbled accidentally over the error, in striving to discover the kernel of fun in the aforenamcd epistle.

CARE OF OVEN.

An oven that is constantly in use requires to be kept scrupulous1y clean. It should not only have the shelves scrubbed out with soda occasionally, but in addition the shelves should be painted with quiclzlime two or three times year. An oven treated in this way never becomes caked with grease and there is no unpleasant smell when 1t is being used.

Fitted with a. single supporting leg so arranged that skirts and similar garments may be placed around the board without interference, an ironing table has been made with an apron at- tachment which prevents clothes from brushing against the floor while work is being done upon them, says Popular Mechanics. It is designed to be hinged to table or wall, and either folded back or removed entirely when not in use The protecting bag is swung from two rods which extend parallel from socket supports on both sides of the board. The absence of a frame work underneath makes the .appara- tus especially useful in ironing things of a sack shape, while the apron is of material service when large pieces such as sheets are being ironed .

Eousewifes can keep down their gas bills by the use of a combination kitchen heater which was recently pat ented by a Chicago woman. By its use, one burner or stove hole can be used to heat a f1atiro1, toast bread and cook a kettle of food at the same time. Inside the metal cover which rests on the side of the stove is space for flatiron on a holder that slides through an opening in one side. Above the f1atiron is an opening for a kettle, and the inclined sides, all the way around. are perforated for toasting. A removable asbestos lin ing confines the heat and cuts down the amount of fuel needed.
