War Raises Price of Tin

and 10000 tons of tin concentrates
carrying more than 10000 tons of
metallic tin are shipped each year
from Bolivia to Europe for smelling.
The United States would absorb the
tin smelted from this ore easily, and
1t has been demonstrated that there
are no difficulties in the smelling of
the Bolivian ores that American
metallurgists cannot meet. Owing to
the lack of European freighters, Bo-
livian ores will now be seeking a
market, and, providing that ships
can be found to carry the ore, this
will be the opportunity for Americans
to begin purchasing the ores that
have heretofore gone to Europe
A few years ago q smelter was es-
tablished at Bayonne, in which to
smelt Malayan tin ores, but when 1t
became known the English govern
ment placed high export duty on
Malayan tin ores not going to some
part of the British empire. Such
thing could not happen In Bolivia,
and to some extent, at any rate, the
smelling of Bolivian and other ores
in this country would relieve Ameri-
can consumers from the speculative
profits of the London market.

Teutonic nationality is blessing,
the recognition of Slavonic self-con-

diplomacy attached itself to an OBJ

not an enlightened and modern
diplomacy seek rather to discern and
to work with the significant and per-
manent currents OF feeling that have
expressed themselves in modern Italy

Japanese Nail Industry

ported, with a view to exporting the
manufactured output to Chosen again.
The result was disappointing. The
apparent failure of the Yasuda manu-
factory called forth the government,
which, as a way of protecting the in
dustry, ordered the government iron
foundry at Wakamatsu to supply good
ore to this factory. This proved the
turning point of the industry in
Japan. Since that time the output
has steadily increased in quality and
quantity. The factory, with a branch
at Wakamatsu, now produces more
than 10000 boxes a month. The Kishi-
motto factory at Amagasaki. Osaka,
with a plant big enough to turn out
more than 5000 boxes a month, is now
producing 1000 to 5000 boxes a month.
In the event of these two factories
working to their full capacity their
output will more than supply the
home demand.
japanese nails were at first regard
ed as inferior to imported goods, be-
ing weak and easily bent Now these
drawbacks have been improved, and
in point of quality the home and i'm
ported goods are on the same plane.
Furthermore, Japanese goods are, on
the whole, cheaper than the imported.
Therefore. unless foreign goods are
made exceedingly cheap and good they
will be surely driven from the Japan
csc market. and probably from the
Asiatic market as well-Japan Times

CHEAPER FISH FOR THE PEOPLE.

The State, and not merely the officials of a mu-
nicpality should act in way to make food cheaper
for the people, and the New Jersey State government
can act, and most effectually.
1t is to be shown by Newark officials that fresh fish
be purchased the seashore and sold in the city
at six cents a pound for all varieties. The fish is
bought from pound net fishermen at the prices they
get from the trust combination in New York. What
saved to the is the wholesale graft of the
fish trust.
1t has been asked why the retail fish dealer does
not buy direct from the pound net fishermen and
thus escape the trust tax of six cents a pound The
is that the trust handles New England and
Southern fish, the dealer buy in New York from
the trust or he gets New England and Southern
fish
have New Jersey fish brought to Newark and sold for
cents pound what the State not do for all
the people of New Jersey and not only with little ex
pense, but with a splendid profit?
The fisheries belong to the State. The fish
ermen on the coast who have their nets in waters
owned by the State need not be disturbed in any
by State control On the contrary. they will be bene
flied for besides getting from the State better price
they would not be subjected the exgencies of the
market. They would sell their whole catch and not
be compelled at any time to destroy many tons of fish

Iron nail manufacture in Japan has
progressed so much in the last few
years that the Importation of the
goods is being effectively checked, ac-
cording to the latest report of the
trade. The industry in this country
has progressed so far that the whole
home consumption can be supplied
from the outturn of the Japanese fac
tories. Prices in the producing COM
tries have been so high that the arti-
Gle cannot be imported at a good
profit. The market has been infiu
enced to considerable degree by the
general depression in the roommate
rial market.
Japan has cen drawing its supplies
of nails from abroad, chiefly from Bel
GUM and America. American prices
are on the upgrade, so Japan cannot
long continue ito draw from this mar
ket without considerable inconven-
fence. German nails have decreased
in price and can now be imported at
a profit.
In this country, on the other hand,
the industry has been steadily devel-
oping. At first the Yasuda Iron Nail
factory, at Fukugawa, was the only
manufacturer of these goods. In 1910
was started by Mr.. Kishimoto, an
Osaka business man. Since then the
output has increased steadily and
rapidly In the first years of the in
dustry iron ore from Chosen was i'm

had been committed to his charge.

then told Mr.. Norman that he could
not find a parcel of that kind. Then
began another search, and the man

emphatic affirmation from Mr.. Nor

ing intently for a moment or two.
said he seemed to remember that
parcel of that kind had been chucked
on an upper shelf. Then he got
ladder and mounted it, and after
rummaging around at last pulled out
from behind a lot of old parcels a
package done up in the newspaper.

Asa Potter, who was formerly
bank president in Boston. and who,
during long career as banker De-
came acquainted with many Of the
leading men of the East, both those
who were in public life and others
who were prominent in business and
finance, was speaking to me at one
time of the late George E. Norman,
who was a citizen legally of Newport,
but in business in Boston.
Il have had many experiences
which have revealed to me both the
strong and the weak side of men
who have achieved greatly in New
England life, from 1850 to about the
year 1880, said Mr.. Potter. / some
times think that in some respects the
late George r. Norman was not ex-
celled by any other man either in
eccentricity or in a wonderful grasp
of business conditions and opportuni-
ties. Mr.. Norman was very wealthy
man and his family became promi-
nent in Boston and Newport social
circles. He prided himself on being
a man of the utmost carefulness in
all his business transactions and be-
lleved that his memory was to be aD-
solutely relied upon. Yet / know of
a case when his memory failed him
and so badly that only by the mar
rowest chances he escaped the loss of
$4,000 in bonds.
"One day Mr.. Norman had occa-
sion to look among his securities for
a block of bonds of the par value of
$4,000. The market value was con
siderably more. But when he looked
over his securities he did not find
these bonds. He remembered the date
of the purchase, some six months
earlier, and also recalled the firm of
brokers from whom he bought the
bonds He went Immediately to these
brokers and demanded that they de-
liver to him the block of bonds which
he had bought. The books showed
that upon a certain date, some six
months earlier. he had bought these
bonds and paid for them. He was
told that he must have taken thera
away Thereupon he got very angry,
saying that If he had taken them
away he would not be there asking
for the delivery of them.
He had the whole office in an up
roar in a little while. At last one of
the clerks told him that he recalled an
incident associated with the purchase
of the bonds which would show to Mr..
Norman that they had been taken
away. The clerk said that he began
to tie up the bonds in smooth brown

PUBLIC WORK SHOULD BE CONTINUED.

All public work employing labor should be con-
tinued If practicable, for the sake of keeping labor
employed 1t is great mistake to cease operations

sible to reasonably finance public work Local. State
and federal government should avoid any policy cal
culated distress among the laboring popu
laton.
One great and unanswerable argument for the
enactment of the river and harbor bill Is that by the
continuance of existing contracts which will have to
be stopped If appropriations are provided and
with the work planned, many thousands of men
will have steady employment The appropriations

work the bay and meadows, an improvement work
of vital necessity to the citys commercial and indus

ANOTHER BOOST FOR LIVING COST.

When the Interstate Commerce Commission re-
fused the request of the Eastern railroads for per
cent increase in freight rates it gave very broad
hint that the roads were entitled to make up the
deficiency out of the travelling public. The commits
sion pointed out that the Pennsylvania system
the property devoted to passenger service earn
ing less than one-half of per cent against frac-
ton over per cent earned by the property devoted
to freight service.
The Pennsylvania has not been slow to take this
hint, and its boost of quarter of cent mile on
mileage books is probably the beginning of general
passenger rate increase in Eastern territory. Are
commuters in for another fight against higher fares,
which for them very considerable item in the
cost of living? always down to the ultimate
consumer.

The outbreak of the European war
has caused the New York price of
tin to rise to IS cents a pound, al
though in the latter part of July tin
was sold as low asN305 cents pound.
None of the European countries make
a production which would greatly af-
feet market values, and the disturb
ance of price is due mostly to the in
security of ocean freights which are
carried very largely in English or
German bottoms.
The known American tin deposits
are small. and production from them
will probably not be much affected by
the exceedingly high prices If these
are temporary However, the oper-
ators now working tin deposits may
reap a profit if they can market their
ores before the drop in prices that is
sure to come.
The benefit which 1t seems possible
to get out of the present situation is
in the establishment of tin smelter
in the United States in which to
smelt Bolivian tin ores and such
small lots of American ore as are
produced. At present between 10000

Acoustics of Auditoriums.

From the Engineering Record.
Much experimental work has been
done to determine the best methods
for correcting acoustical defects of
auditoriums. The work of Professor
Sabine in this line has become CLASH
cal. Few people, however, under
stand to what extent experiments
have been carried to remedy the de-
fectS of given room. For that rea-
son bulletin just issued by the En-
cheering Experiment Station of the
University of Illinois will probably
find wide circle of readers.
For about six years studies on the
auditorium of that institution have
been under way, under the direction
of DR.. F. r. Watson. The accoustical
properties of the room were wretched
at the start, but by a series of ex-
periments within the auditorium IT.
self. following careful studies in the
laboratory, the trouble has been, prac-
tically, cured. Echoes were located by
means of an alternating current arc
light, a beam from which, accom-
panied by the kissing sound of the
arc, was directed to various parts of
the room. The paths of the light re-
Elections were traced and verified by
the sound A complete acoustical
survey was thus made of the audi
torium, resulting finally in the hang
| ing of curtains and canvases in vari-
Gus parts of the room so as to stop
the reverberations. Such experimental
work is of the utmost importance to
those engaged in the design of build
ings for accommodating public
gatherings. because the analysis of
the trouble leads to the formulation
of principles for their avoidance. The
pamphlet is, therefore, an important
addition to the literature of practical
acoustics.

1.-THE stars incline, but do not compel.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1914.

This Is lucky day, for Venus and
Saturn are strongly benef1c in aspect.
Mars is mildly adverse.
According to astrology this should
be fortunate day for all theatrical
enterprises. Actors are subject to
leadings which make for success.
There is a sign read as indicating
fame for foreign actress who will do
much to awaken interest in classic
dramas.
The seers predict insistently
changes in methods of management
of theatres. They prophesy that, al
though moving pictures Will cause
financial losses, they will attain a per-
manent place in a new field that will
be immensely lucrative.
Weddings are under a lucky sway
of the stars today They who marry
under this configuration should have
happiness, prosperity and long life.
The rule encourages the old as well
as the young.
Women are believed to be exceed
ingly fortunate while this government
prevails. They should push all pro-
fessional or business activities. 1t Is
a favorable time for seeking new po-
sitions.
Musicians should benefit today, for
the stars are believed to give them
extraordinary power to please. They
should be able to awaken approba-
ton and to win unusual applause.
There is a prediction that the Win
ter will be marked by many new mu-
