They had not planned to meet in
such public place. Reporters and
delegates swaTmed about them.
What would they say, what could
they do?

dent.
Trapped" muttered Speaker
Clark.
"Trappedr breathed the "angeI

Then suddenly each was struck
with an idea. There were three exits
from the lobby. But in order to
avoid an awkward situation each
man had to leave without crossing
the path of either of the others.
The crowd by this time had
blocked the way in such a manner
that it was only possible for the pres
ident to escape quickly through exit
A, Clark through exit B and Bryan
through exit c.
In a flash the three great minds
solved the problem. All escaped and
not one o ftheir paths crossed!
"Stung!" groaned the reporters.
The greatest political story of the
convention had been lost.
Can you mark out the routes the
three men took to escape by the
proper exits without their paths
crossing?

FOREIGN TRADE IN 1916.
WILL APPROXIMATE 5000 900, 900,
TWICE AMOUNT OF 1915.

All Previous Figures.

New \ ork-The foreign trade of the
United States for the calendar year
OF 1916 will approximate the sum of
81 000, 900, 900, or about one-Iifth of the
entire international trade of the world,
according 20 estimates made public
here by the foreign trade department
o. the National City bank.
II will be 90 per cent greater than
in 1915, and double that of 1914. Ex-
cess of exports over imports will ap-
proximate $4,000, 100000. against 81,
76S, ,SS4 .00C in 1915. 1924, ,34S 900 in 1911,
and $691. 1872 900 in 1913.
Complete figures of the commerce
from tho entire country in the nine
months ending with September are at
hand. as are also those of this port.
which is accepted as an index of the
entire country's trade for October. F'ib
ures for the nine months ending with
September show total commerce of
$3.50. 100000 against s3.S33 900 900 in
the corresponding period of 1915. and
s2.S77. .O00, 900 in the nine months of
