over January Of $4,000, 600.
With the total of exports for the
first eight months OF the fiscal year
running up to over two and a half
million dollars, and new records being
established month after month, it does
not seem unreasonable to anticipate,
as the department does, that the ex-
ports for the whole fiscal year will
reach the four million mark, all Of
which enormous gain must be attrib-
uted to the abnormal conditions Gre
ated by the war, and nothing else.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

1t has been said in reproach of the
United States that while il invented
the aeroplane and the submarine for
eigners have developed both to sue
cess. to the discontinue of our cwn
citizens. There is a good deal of truth
III that. And as regards the aeroplane
unless the makers in this country
exert themselves tremendously, they
will find in Germany after the war a
competition of successful manufacture
with which they cannot easily contend

Violations of sanitary laws are in
tolerable because they threaten the
health of the whole city. There is no
reason for having patience with this
class OF offenders and there ought to
be provision for Furnishing them speed

for any self-respecting person, the
whip of public opinion would be a suf-
ficient incentive for obeying the orders
Of the board of health. But expert
ence has shown that there are many
persons to whom health board orders
are no more than as water on a ducks

Hartford finds the club liquor law

"You may meet players and even
coaches" the committee states "who
will tell you that it is all right to vio-
late the rules If YOU do not get caught
This is the code that obtains among
sneak thieves and pickpockets. The
crime in this case is getting caught
1.-THE football code is different. The
player who Intentionally violates a
rule is guilty of unfair play and UNI
sportmanlike tactics and whether he
escaped being penalized, he brings dis
credit to the good name of the game"
Each year, the committee say. there
has been less attempt on the part of
the players ito beat the rules" unfair
