EMPLOYED OFFICERS
OF Y.M.C.A. WILL meet
AT COBbOSSEECONTEE
Sept. 3-6, 1915--Date and Place
of Annual Conference of Asso-
citation Decided Saturday at
Portland.

At the meeting Of the executive COM
mittee. held in Portland Friday and
Saturday last, 1t was decided that the
next annual conference OF the Employed
Officers Association of the Y M c. A.,
for the State of Maine, will be held at
the new summer camp to be built on the
shore of Lake Cobbosseecontee The
members of the committee, comprising
Frank L. Thornberry of Waterville,
Winthrop q. Richards of Portland and
r. g. Goodman of Augusta, decided up
on Sept. 8, l. and 6 of next year as the
time for the conference. thereby extend
ing the weekend over Labor day
Definite details will be settled between
now and the date Of the conference but
the general idea for which it will stand
was adopted; and will consist of care
full consideration Of the four phases of
Y. NJ. C. A. work within the State of
Maine, the educational, the work for
boys, the physical and the religious.
The definite purpose of the conference
will be to formulate a broad policy for
endeavor in each OF these fields broad
enough to include the whole State and
liberal enough to be applicable to the
needs of individual associations in their
respective localities.
Men who are foremost in these
branches Of work will be present to talk
from their experience and give their
advice.
The scope of this conference will be
far greater than any that has before
been held in Maine. Not only employed
-. -
to attend. but local trustees, directors
and committee chairman will be expect
ed to be present. In this way ii is felt
that the impetus of the conference may
strike wider area and at the same
time retain its full efficiency, if not in
crease it.

Washington, D. C., Sept. 16.-Eu- rope, which in recent years has sup piled about 70 per cent. of the n1anu- factured goods imported into the United States, showed, in the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1914. a, smaller gain in it's contributions Of general merchandise than any other grand division except Africa. Ac- cOrding to official figures of the De- partment of Commerce, imports from Europe were million dollars greater than in the previous year, compared with 8 gain of 5 million in imports from South America, million in those from Oceania, 10 million in those from Asia, 65 million in those from North America, and a loss of
 million in those from Africa. France Ita1y, Germany, Switzerland, and Spain showed gains, while the United Kingdom, the Meth erlands, and Rus siaL were among the important Euro pean countries the imports from which decreased during the past year.
 The character of goods imported from Europe has been the subject of so many inquiries reaching the Bu- reau of Foreign and Domestic Com merce that the following sumEnarfza- ton has been prepared by that office showing the principal manufactures and manufacturing materials for it's chief supply of which the United States has usually looked to Europe. Considering the seven. countries which contribute s5 per cent. by value of all goods imported from Europe, it is found that they furnished last year the classes of merchandise specified in each case. Certain of the articles mentioned below as imported from Europe are derived from other parts of the world, this being true of to- bacco, spices, and tin from the Dutch and other East Indies. diamonds from South Africa, wool from New Zea- land, Australia, Asia, and South America, rubber from the East In- dies and other tropical countries, and tea from India, China and Japan.
 Imports from England included included nearly 20 million dollars worth of cotton goods, comprising 36 million yards of cloth, million lbs. of yarn, and g million dollars worth of laces and edgings, million dollars worth of chemicals, among which were 34 million pounds of bleaching powder, 37 million pounds of ammo nium su1phate, 10 million pounds of glycerine, million dollars worth of coa1-tar products and considerable amounts of acids, gums, and opium; AS million pounds of crude rubber; 48 million pounds of hides and skins; 12 million dollars worth of iron and steel, such as cutlery, machinery, etc, 53 million pounds of block tin; 75
 million pounds of wool; 14 million pounds of tea; and miscellaneous manufactures, such as c11tnaware, lin ems, gloves. nnoIeurn, precious stones and silk and worsted goods

material to accumulate. Disease germs are not found in sewer air; it is difficult on physical grounds to see how they could get there. The fnoxious gases and vapors'' so dear to the plumbers imagination, are con sptcuous by their absence in all per fect1y constructed sewer systems, as every visitor to the gTea- sewers of Paris and other modern cities we'll knows. Defective plumbing says The Journal of the American Medical k>s- sociatfon, has about as much relation to public health as any other mechan- icaI defect in house construction. The most serious obstacle to the universal establishment in severed towns of the water carriage system is the high cost of the plumbing. In this respect every unnecessary re- Hnement and elaboration in plumbing outfits and legal requirements is 8 harm, not a help, simplicity and cheapness compatible with efficiency is what is needed in really "sanitary' plumbing, not a, labyrinth of traps, vents and back vents. If the plumb ing interests wish to aid the hygienic welfare of the community they can best do this, not by insisting on still more complicated devices and sin spections,' but by simplifying and cheapening the cost of installing and maintaining the pipes and fixtures es- sential for carrying off the house wastes in 8, speedy and inoffensive
