A Wisely Planned Expedition

On Saturday of this week there will
sail from New York a group of manu-
facturers of considerable size who as
a whole represent the Manufacturers
Association of Illinois. These manufac-
turers contemplate a visit of several
months to various nations of South
America. Their purpose is in complete
accord with those who have learned
that the best way to secure markets
In South America Is not by adopting
the so-called hustling methods of the
American commercial traveller, but In

Optimism Continues i'm Some

CONTRACTS RENEWED

| New York February 6-The weekly
| will say:
| Optimism continues to spread and in
| some lines of industry particularly iron
| and steel, actual improvement keeps en-
coura gingly in pace with sentiment. While
there is sufficient irregularity, primarily
due to unreasonable weather conditions
to act as a check rein on the general ten
dency toward betterment there remains
a renewal of contracts.
In the foreground there is the incen-
tive of larger distributors expanding vol
ume of business, and for so early in the
season it may be deemed to be an encour-
agementi
Movements elsewhere surpass those of
this time last year. for the corresponding
date. Purchasers are in the leading de-
partments.
While representatives of some lines
have devoted the week mostly to inspect
ing display counters, graduated improve
ment is the order of the hour.
Business failures for the week were go
which corresponds with 259 in 1918.
Wheat exports for the week aggregate
3,779,9 ,90S bushels, against 3.S59,752 last year
New York, February 6-The weekly re-
view of r. G. Dun e. Co. tomorrow will
say of trade:
There is a renewal of business activity
Expansion is noted in industrial opera
tions. This constitutes one of the best
features of the situation. Somewhat less
complaint is heard regari ing labor eondi-
tions, as the number of unemployed while
apparently still large has been reduced
considerably of late.
This obviously enhances the purchasing
power of the people and confidence In the
future is gradually strengthening many
lines.
The developments in steel and iron In
January were of such an encouraging ma
ture that prices in certain finished lines
have been advanced 81 ton, significant
fact In view Of the freedom with which
concessions were formerly offered.
Commercial failures this week ere 372
quoted against 300 last year. Failure in
Canada numbered 81, against 46 last year.

The Bankers Impression

In banking circles the impression is now
SO strong that unless returns for the
first month of the new year differ from
those which the Washington statsticians
reported for December of last year, the
impression will soon become a positive
conviction that We have begun a season
of constantly increasing importation Of
commodities bought in foreign markets.
Purchases of this kind of foreign COM
modities ought to be reflected speedily in
the prices charged for these commodities
by those who retail them to the public.
Not until the evidence Is good that these
importations have resulted in offering
the commodities to the public which buys
them over the counter at prices less than
were heretofore charged for like COM
modities or for similar ones of American
production will it be possible to esti-
mate the real Importance of the new tariff
law to the American public.

Improvement

Washington, d. c., June IA
The port of Tampa, in the opinion OF
Mai. w. B. Ladue, United States en-
gineer in charge of rivers and har-
'bors improvement work in the Flor
ida district, is entitled to channel
depth of thirty feet in place of the
present channel depth of twenty-four
feet, if the improvement can be made
at a not too great cost.
Major Ladue has reported on the
thirty-foot project to the board of
engineers here. He recommends a
survey and estimate for a thirty-foot
channel His report is a very strong
one, dealing with the rapid growth o.
Tampa as port and the character
of the commerce being moved over
the various terminals there. He states
and forcibly the data and
facts upon which he predicts his
recommendation and it is safe to as
sumo that the board Will sustain him
and in the very near future order a
final survey and estimate for the pro-
ject of deepening the channel to
thirty feet throughout its entire
length.

Among the many resolutions TO be con-
sldered by the American Federation Of

providing for the formation OF trade

The resolution has been introduced by
delegates representing the International
Association OF Bridge and Structural

recent convention in Peoria, Ill, adopted
q tentative plan for such bank.
The idea OF the Association Is TO get

posit its surplus in such bank and any
profit which may accrue as the result OF
this enterprise be used In the Interest OF
the labor movement
According to Joseph f. McClory. presl-

q trade union bank would not only be an
instrument IN the hands of organized
labor against unfair employers, but that

HOMES PRAISED
Superintendent of Education
Scores Critics of Resort at
Opening of Women's S
Congress.

ATLANTIC CITY, Nov. 13.-with 900
women, constituting as smart an as
sembly as Atlantic city has seen in
many n day applaudlng, Charles b.
Boyer, City superintendent OF Education
assured the Mothers Congress of New
Jersey at its opening session today that
Atlantic City had been ruthlessly SLAM
dered before the women of the country.
Everywhere we read criticism and
slander about Atlantic City that gives
Hcant credit to the thousands OF God
fearing men and women who make this
place their home" Professor Boyer cx-
claimed. With the audience frequently
lnterrupting him, the resorts defender
proceeded to enumerate that Atlantic CITY
has 9s4 true and loyal" teachers, go
students in It's high school, over 5000
school children, many churches and as
many Christian homes proportonately as
any city In the country.
Outside OF the speakers, the big audi
torium of the First Presbyterian Church
was given over entirely to women whose
slogan is child and home DEVELOPMENT.
Administration leaders declared any at
tempt to drag equal suffrage into the
session would be gently but firmly
quashed.
PLEADS FOR CoNvICTs.
Mrs. Frederick Schof, president of the
congress, speaking upon child culture
nfter delivering formal greetings from
the national body, said the jalls of the
country were filled with boys who never
had n fair chance In the home.
Don't think you are doing everything
in your power for the boy when you give
him luxury" she pleaded. "Glve him
much more than that-give him an idea
of life."
Every bad boy Is a germ of the So
Cal disease. and home is the most inn
portant upllft agency of the nation"
She rejoiced over the establishment of
the baby bureau In the Department OF
Education at Washington, but said its
limited staff was overwhelmed with
work, the correspondence having in
creased to 10000 letters yearly.
THE Government undoubtedly is going |
to give us more money ultimately" she |
said. but We need help right now to |
employ more clerks and expedite our |
work"
