has led to credit extension, for a pe- riod, however, in most cases, much shorter than that allowed by English or German firms While long credits are highly desirable and sometimes quite necessary, caution in, granting them is especially urged by consuls and others reporting on the subject.
 Easier Now to Investigate Credit
 ssIt seems best for American firms to continue to withhold credit until the standing of the proposed customer can be investigated, but this is be- coming an easier matter than here tofore. In Uruguay and Argentina the facilities for obtaining reports of this nature are said to be as good as those in the United States, while the increasing number of American firms with personal representation in South America is making easier 5investiga- ton by that means
 'sThe value of having a. branch house of a resident agent is partic ular1y emphasized in matters of this
 kind. It is important. to remember that the ordinary credit terms of go days are usually insisted on, even by many houses that do not need the credit, as they regard 1t as 8 point of honor and a refusal of the usual
 terms as a reflection on their in tegrfty.
 seThe futility of trying to initiate or materially increase Business by let ters and printed matter in English will be realized by the American ex- porter when he asks himself how much attention he himself would give. to a catalogue in Spanish from an un- known foreign firm, which would have to be translated at some ex- pense and delay, when he could order the same class of articles from an other foreign firm that set out prices. 1 terms, etc. in clear English. The use l of the metric weights and measures ] instead of the English and American standards is a matter of almost as much importance as the use of Span ish or Portuguese.
 American Branch Banks Needed.
 .sThe financing of American ex- l ports to South America is in great. Ipart through London. The great de- jsideratum for increasing our trade in | South America usually noted by ob
 servers, aside from the establishment | Of an American steamship line. is the starting of an American bank with l branches in the larger trade centers.
 There is no doubt that such an in- stitution with the close connection it would have with banks in this coun- try would facilitate in many ways the collection of accounts, settlement of
 claims, etc, and would keep Ameri- lean exporting and financial interests
 in closer touch with the huctuataing financial conditions in various South 1 American countries"

proportion of recent champions have been of German descent
 The boxing boom has spread over the United States from Maine to Cal ifornia, and every young fellow of athletic tendencies now wants to learn to use his fists. In New York several amateur athletic clubs which have formerly paid little attention to the sport are now taking it up, and the same is true of a number of other cities.
 Amateur boxing has had a, large fol- lowing for some time in the leading amateur clubs of Boston. Pittsburgh Chicago, Cleveland, Montreal, San Francisco, Seattle and Kansas City, among others, and many additional to reports to the athletic union head quarters. Most of the organizations in the cities named held tournam ents for amateur boxers last Winter.
 There is expected to be a great gathering Of amateur boxers in San Francisco next year. and, with the best boys from the United States and Canada entered, there is likely to be some classy bouts
 There are indications that the American amateur boxers will have to develop a new style if they want to win from the British and French boxers at the next OIynapics- The boys over here depend too much on slug ging to win. and in Europe 1t is clev- ernesss speed and skill that piles up points on which victories are award ed American amateurs are likely to find themselves outclasSed if they de- pend on stiff punches and wallops, for a punch that wouldn't dent a cream pun counts for as much with a. ref cree of amateur bouts in Europe as Knockout. More, in fact, for knock outs are considered in decidedly bad form laieh is as should be.

You can't imagine how we all

And the stand had never been used

were going.

Father sat perfectly silent, and no

him reach under the table and knew
that he was opening the stand.
Beef without horseradish isn't

''Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!' chuckled
Tom Weolley.
Mother cast one glance at our
mirth-convulsed faces and got up out
Of her chair Indignantly. She looked
behind the curtains, in the kitchen,
and in the parlor. All the while Tom
WOoIley's voice went on laughing,
and before mother came back father
had managed to wind the phonograph
again.
"Adolphus~ said mother, where is
he? What is the meaning Of this out
rage?"
"Ho! Ho! Ho! Hop roared Tom,
and this time none of US could re-
strain himself any longer. We put our
heads down upon the dining table and
Topped feebly, as we tried not to suf-
focate. And father was laughing loud
est of all
ct seems to come from underneath

raised the tablecloth, and father
wasn't quick enough. Mother saw his
knee pressing the attachment that
Willis had put on, and inside the table
stand she saw the photograph.
This is an outrage, Adolphus?' she
said, addressing father sternIy..
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Hal" roared Tom
Woolley.
Mother looked once more on our
purple faces, and then she flung her
self down in her chair and buried her
face in her hands, and gave way to
her feelings.
Tom stopped when the mechanism
ran down, and then father realized .
the awful thing that he had done.
He rose up and went behind mothers
chair, looking like worm.
Forgive me, Nary he pleaded.
'I'm sorry. It was only a joke, dear"
Bot mother went on shaking and
wouldn't raise her head. And father
looked appealingly at us children.
