How the War Affects Us.
xxxI.-0ur China and
Glass Trade.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

Take no large order without nrst
submitting the specifications to the
home Office" was the parting instruc-
ton given by one of the largest china
and glass wholesale firms in the coun-
try before starting its travelling sales
men out on their fall tours. This SEN
tence shows the uncertainty in china
trade circles due to the European war.
A shortage of at least $10.000.00o worth
of goods exported last year from Eu-
rope necessitates many changes in Sc
curing stock. While the trade here
feels competent to cope with the diff
culties, large dealers cannot now quote
permanent prices or guarantee to fill
orders of certain lines of goods without
substitution.
The best Austrian and German facto-
ries are either absolutely closed or
kept partially running by a force OF
women, children and men too old to
go to war A returned tourist last week
described the working force Of a large
German china factory. Il saw nearly
800 filing in early in the morning and
leaving IN the evening. I could count
only seven able-bodied men. At least
a hundred were children under FOUR
teen About seventy old men and over
a hundred women made up the force.
Some of the women were evidently
performing tasks usually belonging to
men. The factory was working run
time and I was told would produce
about one-third it's usual output.
All the factories about Paris are
abandoned. 1t is claimed that those In
southern France will have nearly their
usual output this year, but this Is
doubted by those who know how many
of the man workers have been called
into the army.
The difficulties of transportation are
having a more immediate effect upon
the American trade than the closing
of the European factories. Orders
sent in months ago have been manu-
featured and are ready for shipping,
BUT have been delayed because no
ships have been sent out. A limited
amount of china is now being shipped
by way of Dutch and other neutral
points so that most of the goods order
ed for fall trade will reach us after
some delay The filling of future
orders is more doubtful. Duplicate
orders of what have heretofore been
open or stock patterns will be so diff
cult that the trade can justly appeal
to their customers for patience. The
duplication of some designs will be
impossible because they originated
with skilled workmen who have already
given their lives in battle.
Both dealers and manufacturers of
china and glass predict that the final

entitled to professional salary. In Eu-
rope some Of the most skillful de-
signers receive little more than la
borer's wages.
Most of American pottery Of fine
quality has been manufactured from
imported clay. Clay can be found in
this country of as fine quality as any
In the world, but 1t Is only recently
that Americans have acquired the art
of washing and preparing it properly
SO that it's product could be depended
upon. Large deposits Of clay exist In
different parts of the country.
Since the difficulties of preparation
have been overcome, the shortage Of
the European supply will tend to de-
velop clay refining as a new and i'm
portant American industry.
The largest china clay refining works
In this country now are located In
Delaware. Last year this state pro-
duced 10000 tons of the finest clay.
over 10000 tons are expected as this
years output.

and heavy crockery. to supply all home
needs. Stoneware is now being pro-
duced in many parts Of the country and
is not shipped long distances on ac-
count of it's heavy weight. American
lines of heavy hotel and restaurant
china have been exported in consider
able quantities for many years. The
shortage of European supplies will
stimulate this branch Of trade.
The substitution of large amount
of japanese china for that ordinarily
brought from Europe will be noted as
another effect of the war. Japanese
dealers announce that they will not be
and are prepared to ship goods speedily
and economically into San Francisco.
So promptly has Japan seized the op-
portunity to ship larger quantities into
this country that it was intimated at
a trade gathering in New York last
week that American dealers might
profit by their example.
The glass industry in the United
States has been greatly in advance of
that of pottery for many years. Orna-
mental and table glassware and also
glass for every Industrial purpose have
long formed an important part of
American exports. The European diff
culties are causing an unprecedented
demand for every kind of American
glass product. Lamps, electric light
sorts are especially in demand because
of the shortage of the European supply
Several factories producing these
goods have already orders for their
entire output for six months. If the
shortage of potash can be adjusted the
effect of the European war will be to
multiply every branch of the American
glass industry.

most helpful to the trade in the United
States. The temporary shortage from
Europe will be Offset considerably by
heavy importations from England. The
English factories have already an
nounced their ability to fill all orders
from this country. The English goods,
together with what are being manu-
featured in the United States, will
enable American merchants to meet all
the needs of the trade.
South America provides American
manufacturers with an enormous new
market. Last year Englands shipment

sisted of sanitary ware rather than

chlnaware to South America last year
The European war will not diminish
the South American demand for china
and glassware of every kind and it
viii give the American manufa cturer
the greatest opportunity ever afforded
him for foreign sales. Some doubt has
been expressed as to the abilities of
the United States potteries to meet the
demands placed upon them, but great
optimism is felt by those who Know
all the conditions.
The production of American china
ana earthen ware has doubled in GUAM
tity and also in quality within the last
the largest china houses in the United
States, few days ago. There is no
difference in value between the best
American grades and the imported

famous Importation, is as apt to choose
one as the other. Nothing finer in the
way of table china is being produced
ri 49,
can factories. but the average Ameri-'
can has not yet found this out. Ameri-
can designs formerly were inferior to
European, but this is not true now
limited, but this difficulty will be
speedily overcome by increased de-
mand. The potteries of this country
are able to supply unlimited quanti-
ties of all kinds of ware from the fin
est china to the coarsest crockery."
American potteries have and will

merly produced most of these for the
world, although England, France and
Austria supplied them in limited guam
titles. The chemicals used in securing
tints and the tints themselves have
been closely guarded German trade
secrets which Americans must either
discover or improve upon. English
decal manufacturers announce that
they are prepared to fill rush orders
of certain designs.
By the time that the present re-
sources are exhausted, it Is believed
that some American process of china
decoration will be discovered which
will meet all the needs of the trade.
At present American decorations are
more expensive to produce chiefly be-
cause of the higher salaries paid the
designers. In this country the china
decorator is recognized as an artist

NOT DRUGS
FOOD DID IT.

After using laxative and cathartic
medicines from childhood a case of
chronic constipation yielded to the
scientific food, Grape-Nuts, in a few
days.
From early childhood suffered
with such terrible constipation that I
had to use laxatives continuously, 60
ing from one drug to another and sui
fering more or less all the time.
"a prominent physician whom con-
suited told me the muscles of the d.
gestive organs were weakened and
could not perform their work without
help Of some kind, SO l have tried at
different times about every laxative
and cathartic known, but found no help
that was at ali permanent. l had final
ly become discouraged and had given
my case up as hopeless, when l be-
gan to use the pre-digested food, Grape
Nuts.
although I had not expected this
food to help my trouble, to my great
surprise Graue-Nuts digested easily
from the first, and in few days was
convinced that this was just what my
system needed.

tons regularly and I am now complete

full trouble
