piled, not at h~aphazard, but with the
utmost care, and placed in the head
quarters of the bureau at Washing
ton These were the people to whom
information OF foreign trade oppor-
tunities would be valuable and to
whom it must be sent, whether they
solicited 1t or not.
The list contains no dead wood.
Each concern whose name is on 1t
has filled out a blank with full in
formation about himself and his busi-
ness. and only after he has been
proved inter sted. actually and ac-
lively, does his name find n place
among the more than a quarter OF a
million OF his fellows who are receiv-
ing daily assistance to foreign mar
kets.
This list is carefully classified ac-
Cord!ng to commodities handled OF
manufactured and the countries in
which each concern is especially in
terested.
Whenever a special opportunity for
trade is presented by a consular office
the whole number Of those To whom It
would be of interest are circu,arized
Immediately. without regard to the
daily publication of consular reports.
Naturally, it would b. a waste of
time money To notify others.
For example: a hat manufacturer
interested in trade with Norway would
not find the slightest benefit in a no.
titication that a dealer in Brazil was
in the market for a fresh supply of
headgear; nor would it profit Il mer-
chant catering to the textile trade
Of China to know that a cer-
tain firm in Norway invited quota
tons on a lot OF woollen good. Still,
SO diversified are the interests of some
houses that 1900 names on the big

The thing to do was to turn the
daily consular reports, printed by the
Government. from glittering %generali-
ties to specifics, and TO get actuaiities
before the business interests of the
country quickly and in Immediately
available form. Who. in foreign
tries. wanted anything the United
States produced or manufactured. his
name and address. exactly what did
he want, Just how much, when. and
in what manner? IL merchants AMI
manufacturers could get hold Of this
information, specifically. timely and
accurately. they could do business in
competition. The plan was not only
good, but 1t was practica, and. besides,
feasible. Now for the effective plant.
Three years ago the Bureau Of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce vas
organized within the Department of
Commerce to systematic the work
Of the consular offices with this re-
suit in mind. 1t will arrive at a SIM
lar work in this country as soon as
possible. but for the present it is
combining its attention almost eXclu-
sively To foreign countries, seeking
there actual markets-and making
them. too-for our goods. That
il is effective is proved by the fact that
through the efforts of the Bureau
more than $50. 600, 900 a year Of con-
tracts are brought into this country
that might otherwise have passed to
competitors in other lands.
Consuls were urged to send reports
OF special opportunities, to furnish
names OF probable customers, their adj
dresses and the specifications of their
immediate requirements, and the bu-
reau st about to disseminate this
information among American mer-
chants and manufacturers. A card

wv THAT does George Pratt
M want to go into politics
w for?" asked a nan
slightly acquainted with
the new Conservation Commissioner.
Hasn't he everything now that a
man could wish for without achieving
notoriety Of that kind?"
An answer to the question might
be found in the history of the Pratt
family. For example, Frederic B..
Pratt, an older brother. with an in
come far greater than he could spend
without giving large sums to phi
lanthropy. has devoted himself to dl-
recting the vocational school which
his father, Charles Pratt. established
in 1887 to help the other fellow
For twenty-seven years he has been
right on the job" in his office in
Pratt Institute. George d.. Pratt,
with an equally large income, is CIV
ing up most of the things that he
cares for and taking upon himself
the burden Of q pubic office because
he believes that he can be OF service
TO the public In that office.
One Of the characteristics Of the
new Conservation Commissioner is his
f~rankness OF speech. A busy friend
once told him: My wife says 1t keeps
her busy %inventing excuses for the in
yitations ! have to refuse Com
menting on this afterward he said:
1T would be far less trouble for her
to tell the truth" And he refused
an important luncheon engagement
n day with the simple excuse My
wife Is coming home on the noon train
and l want to meet her" His simple
d%irectness is sometimes mistaken for
brusqueness. but nothing is further
from his nature than to be inconsider-
ate Of the feelings of others.
In his college days Mr.. Pratt was
an enthusiastic athlete. He was cap
tain Of the champion football team
Of the New England League (Wil-
Jams, Dartmouth and Amherst) in
1892. After being graduated from
Amherst in 1898 he played for two
years with the Crescent Athletic Club
OF Brooklyn, and was captain of that
team in 1895. In the spring of 1891
he won the New England champion
ship for the high b~icycle-and still
holds 1t, for that was the last year Of
the high wheel. His interest in ath-
letics led him to become a member
Of the physical department committee
Of the International Young Mems
Christian Association and for the past
ten years he has been chairman Of
that committee.

Y THAT is Uncle Sam doing to
NJ help the merchant and the
w manufacturer OF the United
States To market his Wares2

. w manufacturer OF the United
States to market his wares?
For years. even for decades, business
interests felt that Uncle Sam treated
them like unruly boys.
Perhaps he did, some OF them, and
perhaps. also. some Of them not only
deserved but really needed such treat
ment and It was good for them. Some
Of the big ones abused some Of the
little ones and took away their candy.
Their Uncle. watching with careful
eye. reached out a long arm once in
a while. grabbed an offender. spanked
him. boxed his ears. slapped his face.
shook him until his teeth ratified, and
at times seemed as though he were
going to kick the big fellow off the
face Of the earth. He was mad and
showed IL.
Pretty soon the entire bunch got
the idea that their Uncle was against
them all. big and little. and they re-
ciprocated the apparent hard feeling.
They retaliated as best they could.
throwing chunks Of mud which not
infrequently hit the mark and left
unsightly stains, and once in a while
some fellow hurled a stone with such
accuracy that it bounced off the old
mans head. making a sore spot where
it hit his skull.
All the while the members Of the
unruly crowd grew in numbers and
size and strength. becoming increas-
ingly difficult to handle. Some of them
grew big enough and strong enough,
when they combined, almost to wal
lop their %avuncular relative, and fire.
quently there was much more truth
than poetry in the ancient remark:
This hurts me more than 1t hurts
you"
Then Uncle Sam took pause and
