NO DIFFICULTY IN
 FINDING HOME FOR
 ABANDONED BABY
Had One Hundred Callers Yesterday, Most of Whom Wanted to Adopt Her.
 Still Unidentified

The baby girl who was so heartlessly deserted Saturday night in the foyer of the .yaudette theatre will not suffer for a lack of parents. This was definitely established yesterday when over 100 peo- pie called at the home of Mrs. K. ". Lindley of the welfare department and wanted to adopt the little one.
 My, my. my, but this has been day" sighed Mrs Lindley last night in talking to an Age-Herald reporter. We have been on the go since early morning and people have been in and out the entire day. The poor little child will have no trouble in finding a home and it IS probable that she will be adopted by re- sponsible people tomorrow morning.
 T lost count of the number of tele- phone calls we have had today about the little one and the number who have been in to see her was endless. And through it all the little dear took it like an angel. She surveyed her visitors out of her big eyes and smiled at them. She seldom cried, not that she couldn't Tor when she thought her milk was not forthcoming fast enough she made plenty of noise
 Today has been worse than a baby show with everyone coming in to look at her She is an exceptionally perfect child so far physical attributes go and has not mark on her. She Will weigh in the neighborhood of 15 pounds, end I don't believe she can be more than 21z months old.
 Her identity is as much a puzzle as ever Her clothing was about as costly as could be bought and great pains had evidently been taken in making it.
 "The little one will be taken to Mrs Searights office tomorrow and it is probable that she will be adopted by some of those who wanted her so badly today and who are in a position to offer her exceptional opportunities

 Sights of Paris"

 "Yes," he said but I find that the police have closed most of the sights"

 "Ah, yes, have seen the Louvre thoroughly"
 "Thoroughly?" said the French homme des lettees in surprise, recall ing the labyrinthin vastness of the Louvre collection, and how long did it take you?"
 Fully an hour" was the reply, which has left the Frenchman puzzled ever since.

Voorhees, Victim of Robbers

Chicago. October 24.-Investisation to- day convinced the police that Franklin R. Voorhees,, d brokers agent engaged in the purchase of supplies for firms fur nishing war munitions to the allies, who was killed last night at his home by two men, was a victim of robbers. It was thought at first Voorhees, death might have been caused by some one angered at his activities in buying war supplies. The discovery today. however, that a da- mond worn by the broker had been cut from his scarf inclined the police toward the robbery theory.

as the agent was not in the harness business-this being only one of many war contracts-he sublet 1t to another contractor who made a speciality in horses but not in harness so that he in turn sublet the contract to us. Now II was able to go to these government people and say to them that I would furnish this six-horse artillery harness at $31S instead of $356, and also would give them our first grade of harness instead of the third grade they are getting. Why, 1t was just like offering man gold sovereigns. But do you know, they would not listen to me- No. they were perfectly satisfied to pay $S56 and it did not appeal to them in the least to hear they could get something better for $31S.

Market Inyestigatlons

''It also is planned to take up a series of market investigations abroad for the purpose of placing producers of raw ma terials and staple products in closer and more intelligent contact with foreign mar kets. There is a constant demand for in- formation with reference to foreign mar kets for lumber, coal. fruit, cotton, wheat, flour, rice, etc, and Congress will be asked to make a special appropriation to enable the bureau to study the markets for these products abroad
 ''The secretary will strongly urge Con gress to set aside anappropriation for se- curing, tabulating and publishing con- crete information with reference to the statistics of internal commerce. It is hoped in this way to provide a record of the movements of traffic on the great lalsea, coastwise traffic, traffic on rivers and
 in harbors and movements of important staple products into and out of impor- tant commercial centers.
 "The bureau has had for three years a comparatively small appropriation for making studies of the costs of production in this country and abroad of manufac- tured articles. This is work similar to that done by the tariff board. The secre- tary will recommend a considerable in- crease in this work, so as to put it on an effective and efficient basis"

Men For Foreign Service

"The commercial attache service has been in existence just about a year. It has proved so useful that an addition of 10 commercial attaches will be recom- nended. The attaches, it is intended will be stationed in such important countries as Japan, India, South Africa, Spain, Scandinavia, Italy, The Netherlands, the Balkan states, Central America and Ven- ezuela and Colombia. With the present .organiza tion the commercial attache ser vice will then cover practically the entire world and the equipment of this country in this particular branch of trade pro- motion work will then be equal to that of any country.
 "A similar increase in the bureaus work in promoting trade with Latin America will be requested. This will enable the bureau to conduct a number of special investigat tons there.

WORLDWIDE TRADE
 CAMPAIGN PLANNED
 FOR UNITED STATES
Department of Commerce Seeks to Have Its ApprO- priati0n For Prepara-
 tiOn For This Work

Washington, October 24-Elaborate plans for worldwide campaign for trade by the United States are revealed in de- partment of commerce expenditure esti- mates to be presented to Congress this winter Through the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce the department proposes to aid American merchants and manufacturers in taking advantage of opportunities now before them and in preparing for the struggle for trade su- premacy that commercial officials are certain will follow the European war.
 Reorganization of the staff in Washing ton and an increase to about twice it's present extent of the foreign commercial service are contemplated, according to a statement discussing the new estimates. made public today by Dr. E. D. Pratt, chief of the bureau.
 Appropriations will be sought to pro- vide for extensive investigations of com mercial conditions abroad and for tariff inquiries by the cost of production di- vision.
 Commercial Programme
 
 ''As part of the general programme of preparedness, said pr. Pratt, the sec retary of commerce, will request Con- gress to make very largely increased appropriation for the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. Secretary Red field believes that commercial pre- paredness should not be over looked that the United States is facing a great and unusual opportunity for increased world commerce, and he has expressed these convictions in the re- quests which he will make on Congress to enable the department of commerce to do a larger and more effective work in promotings commerce than is now pos sible
 'One of the most important increases asked for is for an increased clerical staff in Washington. This amounts practically to a reorganization of the bureau with additional divisions and departments for new branches of work recently under taken.
 "The commercial agent service is the backbone of the trade promotion or ganization. It is anticipated that under the appropriations asked for that it will be possible during the fiscal year 1916-17 to make investigations of the possible foreign markets for cotton textiles, motor vehicles railway supplies, boots and shoes, agricultural implements furniture machinery of all kinds. electrical power equipment, structural material, wearing apparel, investment possibilities, etc. No large increase will be asked by the bu- reau for the estimate of branch offices in the United States, but the bureau hopes to extend the service through the cooperation of the local commercial or
