tude in settling. The importer has, under
such arrangements, been able to make
his payments out of the money received
through the reselling of the goods. or
course, absolute confidence was the pre-
requisite of this manner Of business. One
difficulty which has stood in the way of
our manufacturers in granting ready
foreign credits has been the lack of IA
scilities for obtaining thorough, accurate
credit reports They have not known
whom to trust, nor have they been able
satisfactorily to establish who were the
trustworthy This leads to another as

The National City Bank of New York
city, one of the richest institutions In
the country, Is now planning to start

and it will make the gathering OF reliable
credit information one OF its special

doubtless follow suit. 1t Is probaly true
that Germany and England nave been
largely permitted to extend their long
foreign credits on account of the close
connection Of their banks with branches

BANKHEAD'S BILL WOULD
AID SPECIAL POLICEMEN
Provides Giving Them Some Adj
vantages as other Members, In
Guiding Relief Fund.

A bill amending the act relating to
the appointment of special policemen In
the District of Columbia was intro
duced yesterday by Senator Bankhead OF
Alabama by request. 1t provides that
all special policemen at street ran
way crossings and in tersections In the
District of Columbia shall be entitled
to all rights, benefits. privileges ana
immunities now possessed by other
members of the metropolitan police
force. or may hereafter be possessed
by them. The District Commissioners
are directed to deduct 81 n month from
the pay of the special policemen and
to add it to the present police relief
fund The special policemen. their
widows or their children under six
teen years of age are to be entitled to
relief under this fund, to the same eN-
tent as are the other members OF the
force.
The bill provides that the special po-
licemen shall be subject to the same
rules, regulations and discipline as the
other members of the force, and that
they shall be classified. Nothing in the
act, however. is to be construed as
amending or repeating the existing law
relating to the pay of the special po-
licemen.

OFFSETS COST OF SUGAR.
Price of Peaches Low Enough to
Make Preserving Profitable.

Despite the high price of sugar. the
low price of peaches makes the can
ming of that fruit profitable for house
wives, according TO marketing spe-
cialists of the Department of Agrf-
culture.
And the best part of all. they say, is
that if one cannot get sugar, it Is
perfectly possible to put up" peach
es without any sweetening.
The department. therefore, advises
housewives to consider carefully the
total cost of preserving. with sugar

to wait not to put up their usual
