Boost International
Trade IN Cotton Goods
COMMERCE MAKING EFFORTS
TO INCREASE EXPORTS FROM UNITED sTATEs-THs COUNTRY
NOW PRODUCES rHREE-FoURrHs OF WORLDS COTTON, BUT
IMPORTS MORE THAN SENDS OUT.

Washington, D. c., March 5.-Cot-
ton manufactures entering information
al markets in 1918 Appropriated 900
million dollars, and of this vast sum
but SSH million dollars worth or less
than 7 per cent, was brought from the
United States, the producer Of over
two-thirds of the worlds raw cotton.
In recognition of this fact, the De-
partment of Commerce, through spe-
cial agents of the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce, is making
special studies both at home and
abroad, with a view to enlarging the
foreign trade in this important branch
of American industry.
Ralph NJ. Odell, a commercial agent
of that Bureau, now in New York City,
reports unusual interest among cotton
manufacturers and is receiving many
inquiries for detailed information con.
corning trade demands. An agent OF
the Department is investigating condi
lions in the orient, while reports are
now in press covering recent investi
cations in South Africa and the Medi
terranean countries, all important i'm
porters of textiles.

The Orient is the worlds chief mar
ket for cotton goods. Into Asia the
imports are about $50 million dollars
annually, 200 million being taken by
India and about 100 million by China,
into Europe, about $50 million; North
America, 1875 million; South America,
rs million; and Oceenia and Africa,
each about IS million. The United
States ranks third as an importer and
fourth as an exporter Of cotton goods.
The United Kingdom supplies about
two-thirds of all cotton goods enter
ing the worlds international markets,
her share being about 600 million dol
lars, compared with 1870 million for
Germany, rs million for France, and 55
million for the United States, our own
manufacturers being chiefly occupied
in meeting the demands of the home
market, which in 1909 exceeded 600
million dollars.
Possibilities For Extension.
The possibility of extending the for
eign sales of American cotton goods is
apparent from a study of the relation
which our own exports bear to the to.
tai imports of cotton goods into lead
ing countries of consumption. In
most cases that proportion Is very
small.
The cotton manufacturers of the
United States are, however, gradually
increasing their sales abroad and IL
still larger measure the proportion
which they supply Of the great home
market. Thirty years ago our i'm
ports of cotton goods exceeded oul
exports of like manufactures by $21,
100000; last year that excess hat
fallen to $10,0OO,O00,0OO. Imports o
cotton goods increased during tn,
period from 1883 to 1913 from a..
million to 654 million dollars, gail
of 81 per- cent; while exports of tn
same class increased from 1928 mil
lion to 55.5 million, gain of 1874 pc
cent; and as imports have actuall
decreased during more recent year
while exports were increasing, tn
balance of trade in cotton manufat
lures is likely to shift soon to tn
export side.
The lower grades of cotton good

HORSESHOE CURRENCY.
Curious Shaped Money In Use on the
West Coast of Africa

Among the strangest coins in the
world are those used I'm certain ont of
the way towns and villages in south
west Nigeria. on the west coast OF AZ
rica. and called "manillas."
In shape they resemble horseshoe
with the two cxtremities flattened out
like camel's foot Being made of
solid copper. three-eighths Of an inch
thick. they weigh over eight ounces
each. In face value seven OF these
queer coins are equivalent to one quar-
ter, so that dollars worth would be
an uneomfortably heavy load.
Not only are these ''manillas" used
among the natives. but white traders
accept them as legal tender for goods
sold Mt the various stores. At one time
this strangely shaped money had quite
a circulation in certain parts Of the
coast. but its use is now restricted to
few bush towns and one or two of
the smaller seaboard places, including
Bouny, Brass and Akassa.
"Manillas" are now very difficult TO
obtain. and curio collectors value them
not solely by reason of their scarcity,
but because of the novel serviette rings
they make when silver plated.-Wide

DEADLY SUBMARINES.
Menace of the Machines That Strike
tie Enemy In the Dark.


Submarines have many elements
which make them a dangerous menace,
but there are also many weaknesses
which partially offset their offensive
qualities. Travelling under water, they
are invisible from ships except as the
periscope is shot above the surface to
reconnoiter. But they are quite easily
seen from air craft, even when ma
neuvering at great depth. They are
unattackable by gunfire except when
they come TO the surface, when their
frall structure makes them particularly
liable to sudden destruction. AS they
cannot be seen, they cannot be at
tackled by torpedoes from the ships
they are after, but il the periscope
comes up and the submarine is thus
located she is liable TO gunfire and tor
pedo attack and to being rammed or
run down.
The limited view from the periscope,
due TO its restricted elevation above the
water surface. makes it almost hope
less to attempt an attack in darkness.
But the little vessel can travel long
distances at night and be ready at
break of dawn to spread destruction
broadcast. The submarine can easily
avoid blockading feet by passing be-
meath it. AS its motions cannot be fol
lowed with the eye, the submarine pos
sesses TO an unusual degree the essen
tial elements for delivering a surprise
attack.
One of the chief means of lodging
submarines is to keep continually on
the move, changing direction frequent
ly and keeping a sharp lookout for the
spying periscope.

EiIipinos and Chickens.

The fact that no Filipino OF the com

living without Mt least one male chicken
explains why the islands, although
raising so many chickens, still import
millions of dozens Of eggs. AS In all
cockfghting countries, the fighting bird
in the Philippines is personal pet
which the owner carries about during
practically every idle moment of the
day and on which he lavishes enough
care TO raise many laying hens. Duck
eggs are rarely found in the market
except as "balutes'-that is. eggs on

which eggs are commonly eaten by the

NERVE IN GOLF.
Vardon's Shot That Wen a Match That
Was Considered Lost.

Vardon's Shot That Wen a Match That
Was Considered Lost.
In the American Magazine Jerome D.
Travers writes on Vardon, whom he
calls the greatest golfer. One year Var
don played over a hundred grilling
matches over the longest and toughest
British courses and averaged IA for the
season. In the following extract Tray
ers describes what he considers Var
don's best shot:
Except with the putter there seems
TO be no shot in golf beyond Vardons
magic | will explain with one striking
example just what | mean: In one OF
his championship battles he had come
to the seventeenth hole at q tie with
one Of his rivals for ehe top. His drive
here Travelled triie farther than he
had calculated and found deep rut in
nent, playing first, was nicely on the
green in two for a sure four. 1t seemed
that Vardon was beaten TO certainty.
His ball was six inches below the top
OF the ground in a deep, narrow rut.
And the green was 140 yards away.
"vardon took out heavy niblick
and, in place of playing to one side to
be sure to get out, took his stance In
the direction OF the pin and brought his
club down with terrific force. To the
wonder of the big gallery, the ball rose
almost straight in the air and then,
with the forward spin impaired, sailed
OF to within ten feet Of the cup. The
oil .cr5lcn got his four, hut Vardon got
hi three. winning a match that had
