"Really?" Carolyn repeated, her lips

Here are two that belong to the dig

with examples of flowers that are
liked on millinery of this kind. They
bring to mind weddings and garden

occasions to which they will lend their
own beauty. Millinery holds the cen

aspire to elegance in dress assemble
and make part of the occasion.

be outshone. The large light hat is
of fiesh-pink georgette crepe and

U. S. Exported Foodstuffs

FOREIGN TRADE BALANCE
Department OF Commerce Gives Out
Statistics Explaining the Nations
Billion Dollars Foreign
Trade Balance.

Washington. - The share of the
United States in feeding the world, a
task vastly increased by the European
war, was disclosed in statistics of the
Department of Commerce. Foodstuffs
valued at $724,OO0,0OO were exported
during the IL months ending June 1.
This was the principal factor in the
nations billion-dollars foreign trade
balances.
The effect of the war Is seen in the
enormous increase in the value OF
foodstuffs compared with exports for
the same II months year ago, when
the total was $443,0O0,O00.
Wheat formed the biggest item in
foodstuffs sent abroad In all, 249,-
$4,000 bushels were exported, an in
crease of 164,0O0,0O0 bushels. 1t was
valued at $319,961, 900, showing an in
crease over the previous year of $685.
$4,000. Oats valued at $51,669,000
were shipped, an increase of $51.02S.-
900. There were 86,428,000 bushels,
an increase of IS, 900, 900 bushels.
Flour showed the next largest in
crease, with value of $87,650,000, or
$37, 638, 900 more than the previous
period. Almost 100000 more barrels
were sent this year, the total being
l5,077 900. Corn exports were valued
at $S4,542,00O, an increase of $2S,551,-
900. There were 43,718,000 bushels
exported an increase of more than S5,-
100000.
Almost SO5 100000 pounds Of bacon
were shipped, an increase of 100000
900 pounds. It was valued at SAL
294, 900, or an increase of $1702S,OOO.
There was big increase in beef ship
ments. Fresh beef exports were H.
4S7,O0 pounds, an increase OF almost
lie, O00,0 900 pounds; canned beef, 65.-
$4,000 pounds, an increase of 61.OOO.-
900: picked beef, 28,622,00O pounds.
an increase of 100000.
A statement on the meat and dairy
products trade issued by the Depart
ment of Commerce said:
Imports of meat and dairy products
into the United States in the ten
months preceding May ! last were
three times the value of those for
like period two years ago, and seven
times those Of the entire fiscal year
1905. This movement first assumed
large proportions in the fiscal year
1914, following the transfer of meats
to the free list
"Our imports of meats are mainly
supplied by Argentina. Ten months
of the fiscal year just closed broughs
10000, 900 pounds Of fresh beef and
veal from Argentina and from ten to
fifteen million pounds each from Can
ada, Uruguay, Australia and the
United Kingdom. The United States
still exports far more meats than 1t
imports, for although there have been
record breaking arrivals in the last
two years, exports have been even
larger.
sit is also apparent that the United
States pays less for the meats 1t buys
than 1t receives for those it sells. In
April we imported S,500,000 pounds OF
fresh beef valued at ga cents per
pound f. o. b. countries of origin. In
the same month we exported 25.500,-
900 pounds valued at IA cents per
pound at the domestic ports of ship
ment.
