Extension OF Russian trade through
personal visits to American CONNER
cinl ccnters. and better means or trans
acting business through the founding
OF a Russian American bank in Russia
are among the chief objects Of n visit
TO This country by Alexander Eehr.
vice. president OF the Russian Amcri-
can Chamber OF Commerce at MOSCOW,
who Will have the cooperation OF the
Bureau OF Foreign and Domestic Com
mcrcc. of the Department Of Commerce.
In his tour of the country.
Mr.. I3chr sailed from kristiania
September 3. and AN official OF
the Moscow Chamber. Will confer with
trade ORGANIZATIONS and their most &C
tive members at all the important cen
tiers of this country. laying the foun-
dations for future growth OF commerce
between Eastern Europe and the chief
ports OF North America. He Will be
met at New York by representative
of the Bureau OF Foreign and Domcs-
tic Commerce, who will confer with
him regarding his itinerary, and VIII
assist through the facilities afforded
by the Bureau. in gaining as wide
hearing for him ms possible.
The project for a Russian American
bank in Russia has been brought to
the attention of Consul General John
Fl. Snodgrass. at Moscow. and he has
received a letter signed by the nresi-
dent, vice president. general manager,
and secretary Of tho Russian American
Chamber of Commerce. in which they
say. In part
Vexed Questions of Credit.
"In our endeavorS to enlarge the eX-
listing commercial relations between
the United States and Russia. we are
confronted with questions of extended
credit, means of securing more prac-
teal methods of payments, and the
need OF n medium whereby matters
OF transportation, insurance, standing
OF firms. and other confidential sub
jects could be treated to the satisfac-
ton of those in the United States who
are not acquainted with Russia and
its people, and of Russian merchants
not acquainted with existing conditions
OF trade in the United States.
After mature consideration regard
ing the best means TO ensure the sue
cess of the important undertaking
which we are endeavoring to estab-
lish on frmcr basis, we have ar
rived at the conclusion that the eS-
Establishment OF an American bank IN
Russia liz of the greatest Importance
I'VE do not overlook the fact that.
for many years, business transactions
between the United States and Rus-
sia have been served, and certainly
served very we'll, by existing banks in
this country, covering yearly millions
of dollars, and that such banks are
even at the present moment ready
to meet nll requirements OF any spe-
cinc industry, trade. or personal en-
terprise Yet we are under the i'm
preston that were there a purely
American bank established here with
the purpose. first and foremost, to rem
der the necessary assistance In all
the various phases OF pecuniary trans
actions between the two countries, to
serve Az medium when opportunity

Joyed by the garment the cut OF which gave
the Mother Hubbard considerable vogue.
There Is an honest difference of opinion
about this. but tho true expert in matters Of
attire holds that any garment made for sleep
ing purposes should never be worn outside
the chamber OF sleep. AS there are some
who lounge about veranda in their pajamas.
especially when the weather suggests some
thing easy. this should discredit their noe
turnal wear.
1t may shock some worshipers Of the
pajamas to know that the use OF the garments
for you must use the plural when you speak
OF the combnation--by the navy was not the
use to which pajamas are put by civilians.
In the navy they are used by men assigned to
