SATISFACTORY
President Braz in Message to Con.
gress Reviews Affairs of
the Republic.

RIO JANEIRO. May 27-In his mes
sage to congress. President Braz points
out that the international relations OF
Brazil are satisfactory. Negotiations
he says, continue with Germany with a
view to avoiding the sagging exchange
and also concerning the coffee debt
owed by Germany and the increase OF
interest.
While an admission is made that there
is crisis in the shipping trade, the
message does not allude to any recent
proposition made by Germany with re-
gard to that country's vessels informed
in Brazil.
The foreign commerce for 1915 shows
an increase of % per cent paper. or Ia
per cent gold. The expectation Of frozen
meat increased considerably, and while
exports to Germany have ceased. there
was an increase of 400 per cent in meat
shipments to Norway, BAT per cent to
Sweden. 1926 per cent to Denmark. SIS
per cent to France and Is per cent to
the United States.
The treasury receipts for 1915 amount
ed to about "a 900 contos. gold, or 355,-
900 contos, paper Expenses aggregated
81, 900 contos, gold. or $4,000 contos,
paper-an excess of $4,000 contos. gold
This would mean a real deficit of $4,000
contos.
The external debt on December 81
amounted to los, 529.43S pounds ster-
ling, and the internal debt, 7S1, 900 con-

During the last two years American
motor cars have made rapid progress
in the Rosario district of Argentina.
This is to be attributed principally to
their relative cheapness. which makes
them especially attractive during hard
times; their simple and light construc-
ton, which makes them very adaptable
to local conditions. and the fact that
branch houses with considerable stocks

cost of upkeep. In order to enter this

the import business of Honduras was
done with European countries whose
banks carried the mercantile classes,
enabling the merchants to give long
credit. Very little business is now done
save with the United States. and the
business community has been adapting
itself to the shorter credits allowed by
American exporters, However, some of
the American houses have made more
liberal terms, and the establishment
here of a bank operating with Ameri-
can capital has been of material bene-
at both, to tho purchasers here-who
are often exporters A. well-and to the

MADE-TO-ORDER TOWNS
By Frederic J. Haskin.

The state of Virginia has acquired
new manufacturing center within
the last few weeks. An industrial
plant has reared its huge structures on
what was formerly pasture and corn
land. bringing hundreds of factory
hands to dwell in ,Quantico. Va So
entirely rural are the surroundings.
however. that housing facilities are
extremely inadequate. and the plant Is
now offering free weekend excursions
to surrounding cities in order to get
builders. contractors and business men
to look Quantico over and learn to
take her seriously.
The rural factory town. which had
it's beginning in Homestead and Pull
man in the early sos. is fast becom-
ing one of the great civic problems Of
the country. Attracted by low land
values, the factories are leaving one
crowded cities. seeking the open spaces
and erecting their plants and towns
in a frenzy of hurry, without consider
alton for the requirements of posteritE
OF course, there are some exceptions
to this rule, but for the most part the
town is built for the sole convenience
of the factory and not for the health,
sanitation and comfort of its future
citizens.
In most cases the emigration of the
factory is confined to the rural districts
skirting the large city, for it is neces-
sary to have at least one reliable mar
ket close at hand and also an album
dant supply of labor Thus we have
the various manufacturing suburbs OF
Boston, the numerous plants on Long
Island and Staten Island. the factories
on the outskirts of Philadelphia. such
as the Baldwin locomotive works. the
automobile factories of Flint, Mich,
not far from Detroit.
