LAPS INVADING SPORTING GOODS
 MANUFACTURES
Making Tennis Racquets,
 Golf and Footballs With Success

London. July 14.-The facility of the Japanese in turning successfully to the various forms of highly skilled manufacturers is illustrated by sam. pies received of their work in making sports requisites. They have made beginning with tennis racquets and footballs, but soon are expected to be able to provide the complete outfit of the folger, the cricketer and the ang- Ter.
 News of the new efforts of the Jap anese in the latter lines is of especial interest to the English, who have re- garded them as peculiarly their own. AS one newspaper points out, how ever, in reflecting ithe general view here, nothing calling for ingenuity and subtle craftsmanship seems to be impossible with, our Eastern Ally" In the trade some polite opposition to the new invasion, however, may be discerned. Thus one expert points to the fact that football Is absolutely a British game and that British manu- lecturers are able to provide all that is required in the line.
 One dealer in sporting goods wax ed enthusiastic over tennis racquet from Japan at s1.s2. declaring that the value and workmanship were mar velous! It was the highest prices of the Japanese products. ranging from sixty cents to $1.82., !
 They are going about it just as the Germans did, and their cleverness and cheap labor are fast bringing them to the top" he said. There seems to be nothing they cannot copy and copy well.'' The same dealer called attention to the fact that the Japanese are getting away from the Japanese touch" or earmark of their goods, pointing out that while for merly one could tell at glance that a thing was Japanese, now the finish Is such that 1t might, be German, French or that of any other country.

MAJ. STODDAm QUITS :.
 AS STATE TREASUER
 OF DEMOCRATIC PARTY

Major Louis B. Stoddard. of New Haven, has presented to Chairman Da- vid B. Fitzgerald his resignation as treasurer of the Democratic state cen tral committee. Because of his bus mess which keeps him in New York a large part of the time, Major Stbddard sought to resign several months ago. He was persuaded to continue in office until after the national convention n-to which he was a delegate.
 His successor will be chosen at a meeting of the state central committee next month. It is not believed that the matter will come before the next meeting of the committee which is scheduled for Jnly 25 in Hartford.

 If shallow breathers would only give their lungs a fair change to show what they can do they would find the gains not only physical. but moral and men, tai. Much dull mindedness and irrita- bility is caused by the poison that poor breathers accumulate in their systems -poisons that they could literally blow away bK deep, slow breathing. Do you feel depressed and blue for no particu- laU reason? Does the house 'get on your nerves?" Then go out and breathe fresh life into yourself in the open. If that is impossible at the moment. stand in an open window and do your breath ing exercises for five minutes only. You will find the world a different place and yourself . different person.

Boatmen of StambouI.

A very interesting people are the Lag or Lazis. They inhabit the coastal strip east of Trebizond and the mountains behind it. There could hardly be a greater contrast than that between their manners at home and abroad. Every spring large numbers of them go to Erzerum to serve as gardeners and agriculturists, and they are found there to be quiet, orderly and trust. worthy folk. Many of the Constantino- pie boatmen are Lag, all these having served in the Turkish navy, and pa irons find them honest and civil. But at home in Lazistan they are inveterate robbers, and in the past they have been notorious as pirates.-London Chronicle

press and Fashions.

There are three cardinal principles among the dressmakers, milliners and designers who set the fashions of the world: ~
 Make the fashions this year so that last years apparel cannot be made over.
 Do not make the materials too durable.
 Make the styles attractive.
 AFrench statesman, with the candor of humorous soul. replying to the toast of dressmakers association in Paris, thus finished his speech, May your styles become more and more at tractive, your material more and more fiimsy." To have completed the ideal he need only to have added, "Your changes more and more sudden, extreme and Axn0nsiva-"-Harper' Weekly.

N.mss In Samoa.

sSoU"~X S9usSos
 Travellers visiting Samoa are puzzled at first by the fact that many boys bear feminine names. while girls as frequently have masculine names. The visitor learns after awhile, however, that this confusing use of names in- stead of being due to ignorance is in reality the result of a native custom which is highly poetic. Thus if girl is born soon after the death of broth CT the latter's name Is given to her in the belief that his spirit and all his good qualities have been transferred to her. On. the other hand. if a boy is born after the death of sister he takes the latter's name and, as the SAmoans believe, all her lovabls traits become his.-Iondon Mall

Some time ago the War department
advertised for bids for furnishing the
Government with about 100000 yards
of khaki duck, cotton cloth and melton.
Quite a number of manufacturers
sharpened their pencils and proceeded
to make estimates of prices at which
they could supply the United States
Quartermaster with these goods. Con-
formable to regulations each bidder
had to furnish guaranty bond. There
is considerable work required in sub
mitting proposals to the Government
for supplies. The bids for these cloths
were opened the latter part of July at
the Schuykill Arsenal. Now it de-
velops that all bids have been rejected
because Congress had made no appro-
priation available for entering into
the contracts. This is just a little
sample of the slipshod methods with
which the Democratic Administration
handles Government business.

June 1916 importations reached the
highest figure ever recorded in the
trade history of the United States.
The average rate of duty on those
imports was the lowest ever recorded
in our history. We imported s246 ,OOO,-
900 worth of foreign goods, which paid
"a duty of s19,915.393. or an average
rate of 81 percent. At this rate the
Democratic party will have to devise
81 variaties of taxation to pay for the
pork consumption of the Southern
States and to meet preparedness pro-
gram which absolutely disregards the
question of Government source or in
come. But there is always internal
taxation to fall back upon, and. as a
Democratic Representative from the
South remarked to Uncle Joe Cannon:
We'll. it does not make any difference
how We vote for expenditures. You
fellows North have got to pay them.
And to the Southern Congressman the
North and the West are all of a piece.

Some Government officials and army
officers appear to be surprised that
very few volunteers are coming for
ward to enlist in the National Guard
If they were wise enough to under
stand the situation they would be sur
prised at any new men enlisting in
view of the Overwhelmingly successful
efforts made during the last four
weeks to kill off all patriotism and TO
create spirit of hostility to the
system which has carried men wholly
unprepared and unequipped to the
Mexican border. Nothing has ever
been done in this country to compare
with this in the destruction of patri-
'otism, il patriotism is to be measured
by the willingness of men to enlist
under incompetency and to be use
purely for political work. subjecting
the men who have already gone to the
border to hardships and to losses for
which no excuse can ever be found.
Other men are not likely to permit
themselves to be played for suckers"
when they see how those who had the
patriotism to respond to the country's
call have been treated. The Manu-.
facturers Record has watched with
deep regret, the evidence seen every
where Of the incompetence and red
tapism, which, after a months work
still leaves the National Guard wholly
unfit for war. though in what might at
any moment become war zone.
Surely the lesson of our unprepcred-
upon the Government and the country.
