Great Increase Shown In Value Of Pro-
duction of the EIectricaI-Machin-
cry Industry.

The total value of the products of
the electrical-machinery industry in
the United States increased practical
ly 80 per cent between 1909 and 1914,
according to Uncle Sam. A summary
of the industry issued by the bureau of
the census shows that the products in
1899 were valued at $24O,037, ,479, while
in 1914 they had increased to $780,
412,676.
The total number of establishments
decreased by 80 in the five-year period,
from 1,151 to 1,121; but, eliminating
those which make electrical machinery
as a subsidiary product, the total num-
ber engaged primarily in this industry
increased by 81.
OF the 1,121 establishments reported
for 1914, 234 were located in New York

TEXTILE MILLS OUTPUT BIG
Value of Cotton Goods Manufactured
in United States in 1914 Reached
Great Total of $7o1, 152, 1858.

The value of cotton goods manu-
factured in the United States reached
the great total of $701, ,152, ,26S in 1914,
according to Uncle Sam. This was an
increase of 11.6 per cent as compared
with the output in 1909.
The quantity of raw cotton con-
sumed in the three branches of this
industry in 1914 was 1923, ,500,S37
pounds, as compared with 1884 ,906
pounds in 1909, the increase being 81
per cent. The cost of cotton consumed
during the later year was $330,315, ,223
representing an increase of 20.2 per
cent over the cost for the earlier year.
$274, 4,724, ,21O. The proportion which
the quantity of foreign cotton formed
of the total was 3.6 per cent in 1914
and 3.3 per cent in 1909.

BANKS MAKE Big GAIN
Number of Depositors Nearly
Doubled in Six Years.
Reports Show That More Than 14,oo0,-
900 Persons Have Money in Ma
tonaI Institutions.

The number of depositors in ma
tional banks of the country has in
creased more than sc per cent since
1910, according to Uncle Sans figures.
A recent report of the comptroller of
the treasury showed that there were
at that time 14,2SS,059 national bank
depositors in the country.
Pennsylvania led all the states in the
number of depositors, reporting 2O21,-
S7S as against 1928 in 1910. New
York showed the next largest number,
1,199,471.
Illinois came third with S47, ,637 ma
tionaI bank depositors, an increase
since 1910 of 376,910. Ohio ranked
fourth in the number of national bank
depositors with 791, ,760, an increase
of 321 ,O76 since 1910. Texas was next
with 65S,774, an increase of 291, ,161.
California followed with $40, ,290, an in
crease of 294,799
The largest actual increase by geo.
graphical divisions was shown in the
middle Western states, which give an
increase of 1,773,37O depositors, al
though the southern states lead in the
largest percentage ol lncreaSeS. Inc
number of depositors in the southern
states June 30, 1910, was 1,272,746. On
May 1. 1916, this had been increased to
2,S14, sos, the increase being 1,541, 1852,
or 121 per cent.
The Pacific states increased 592,6S9,
or III per cent. The New England
states showed an increase of 3SS,923 or

BUILDING UP NEW MARKETS
Uncle Sam Sends Expert to South
America to Investigate Field for
Construction Material.

In furtherance of plans to extend
the South American trade of the
United States along various lines,
Uncle Sam has begun special investi-
CATION of the South American markets
for construction materials and ma
chinery. William w. Ewing, who has
had many years experience in engi-
neering and construction work, partly
in foreign countries, has been selected
to make the investigation and he will
prepare complete report for the bene-
fit of American business men.
In investigating construction mate
rials, attention will be given to mar
kets for products used in building
work, heavy engineering construction,
and port and road projects, while the
construction machinery on which in
formation is desired includes devices,
equipment and apparatus usually en-
ployed in such work. This is one of
20 important Investigations to be con-
Quoted this year by the bureau in the
interest of American foreign trade.

PLAN STRATEGIC ROAD LAKE OF MOLTEN LAVA
Uncle Sans Aid to Make Big
Project Possible.
Highway Running Parallel With Mex
ican Border Through Four
States May Soon Be Built.

By appropriating $75,000,oO0 for the
construction of good roads in connec-
tion with the various states, Uncle
Sam has made possible the construc-
ton of strategic highways which are
regarded as of very great importance
in connection with plans for national
defense in the event of invasion by a
foreign foe.
1t is believed that the first of these
ming parallel with 4he boundary be-
tween the United States and Mex
leo. This road would traverse the
states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona
and California.
The cost of construction of these
jointly built highways is to be shared
so per cent by the federal government
federal money being divided proper
tionately to area, population and post
road mileage. The largest amount al
lotted to any state is to Texas, by
reason of its large area. The other
three states mentioned also have a
very large allowance.
Therefore it would be possible to
secure out of the appropriations for
this year and 1917 over n million and
half of federal moneys, which to-
gether with the contributions of the
states would make over three million
dollars available for construction of
the Mexican frontier highways" says
Chairman George G. Diehl of the
American Automobile association good
roads board.
"While it is not possible to give an
exact estimate of the cost of construc-
ton per mile, yet it is altogether like
ly that the first two appropriations by
the national government would be suf-
ficient to entirely complete this high
way, which would be useful not only
from military and commercial stand
points, but would attract road travel
ers from all over the country, particu-
larly those driving to or from points
in southern California"

NO PROSPECT OF PRICES
OF MEAT BEING LOWERED
One Reason, Uncle Sam Says, is That
Production Has Failed to Keep
Pace With Populations Growth.

Uncle Sam believes that high meat
United States indefinitely.
This is the conclusion of the depart
ment of agriculture as set forth in an
exhaustive report on the situation.
High meat prices prevail throughout
the world. One reason for this is the
fact that production has failed to keep
pace with the increase in population.
Other contributory causes given are
the increased cost of production and
diminished purchasing power of the
money unit.
An interesting feature of the situa-
tion in the United States is that while
the production of meat is on the in
crease it Is not yet proportionate to the
growth of population.
While holding out little or no hope
for lowering of meat prices in the
near future, the report says that there
probably will be gradual growth and
expansion in the worlds production of
beef, mutton and pork which may or
may not equal the rate of increase of
the meat-eating population.
The available supply of meat in this
country would be much greater, the re-
port states, were it not for the enor-
nous losses caused by disease and ex-
posure. In the last 16 years it is es-
timated that about 1,475,000 cattle have
died annually from disease and ap-
proximately 100000 from exposure.
In 1914 at least 100000 hogs died of
cholera.
The report points out that the Unit
ed States still is not only the greatest
meat-eating nation, but the greatest
producer. Approximately twice as
much is consumed as in Germany be-
fore the war, and the total normal con-
sumption in Russia, Great Britain and
France is less than in Germany. The
per capita consumption in the United
States also is far the greatest except
in Australia and New Zealand.

One of Features of New National
Park in Hawaii.
Three Great Active Volcanoes Also
Are Embraced Within Boundaries
of Public Playground.

If you would like to disport your
self about the rim of a belching vol
cano or camp at the side of lake
of fire, Uncle Sam has provided the
opportunity.
The Hawaiian national park, which
has just been created by act of con-
gress, and which is the first national
playground to be established outside
the continental boundaries of the
United States, embraces three cele-
brated Hawaiian Kilauea,
Mauna Loa and Hakeakala.
These volcanoes, while the most ac-
tive in the world are also guaranteed
to be the most harmless.
"Thc Hawaiian volcanoes" writes
T. A. Jaggar, director of the Hawaiian
volcano observatory, "are truly ma
tional asset, wholly the most continu-
ously, variously and harmlessly active
volcanoes on earth. Kilauea crater has
been nearly continuously active with
lake or lakes of molten lava for a
century, Mauna Loa is the largest
active volcano and mountain mass in
the world, with eruptions about once
n decade, and has poured out more
lava during the last century than any
other volcano on the globe. Haleakala
is a mountain mass ten thousand feet
high with a tremendous crater rift in
its summit eight miles in diameter
and three thousand feet deep, with
many high lava cones built up inside
hn ic nho 1xy thn 1or
of all known craters among volcanoes
that are technically known as active.
Haleakala erupted less than two hun
dred years ago. The crater at sunrise
is the grandest volcanic spectacle on
earth"
The lava lake at Kilauea is the
main feature of the new national
park. 1t draws visitors from all over
the world. 1t Is a lake of fire thou
sand feet long splashing on its banks
with noise like waves of the sea,
while great fountains boil through 1t
80 feet high, sending quantities of
glowing spray over the shore. Gases
hiss and rumble and blue flames play
through crevasses.
Mr.. Jaggar recently testified before
the house committee on the public
lands, "when the active crater was up
heaved into hill and thereafter col
lapsed into a deep pit with marvel
ously spectacular avalanches and fiery
grottoes, cascades, whirlpools and rap
ids of glowing melt were common"
Mauna Loa is capped with perpetu-
al snow. 1t is 1868 feet high.
Around the base of these vast vol
canoes are gorgeous tropical forests.
Sandalwood, elsewhere extinct, grows
there luxuriantly. There are mahog-
any groves, forests of tree ferns 40
feet high. and magnificent tropical
jungles, alternating with green mead
ows. There are also tracts of desert
and wonderful lava caves.

SEND YOUR WASH BY MAIL!
Uncle Sam Has Just Arranged for Es-
tabIishment of Parcel Post Serv-
ice Between U. S. and China.

Who says Uncle Sam is doing moth
ing to reduce the high cost of living?
He has just completed arrangements
for the establishment of parcel post
service between the United States and
China. Now you can send your pack
ages to China, If they do not weigh
more than IL pounds, for u cents a

The agreement which makes possi-
BILE the parcel post service between
the Orient and this nation, was en-
tered into following three years of
negotiations.
Heretofore packages of merchandise
other than bona fide trade samples not
exceeding 10 ounces in weight, could
not be sent by mail from this country
to China, except to a few places that
could be reached through Japanese or
other foreign post offices in China.

ARTISTIC ARRANGEMENT
OF FLOWERS IN HOME
BY E. VAN eENTHUYsEN.

Dark corners of a room need light
ing up, and light-colored, brilliant
flowers never look so well as when
standing out against n half light. Vel
low is an exquisite bit of color for
such a corner.
Let all the flowers and foliage for
home decoration be fresh, and how
ever simple their form, they are love-
ly, not only as graceful objects but as
suggestive of something more beauti-
full still.
Avoid fantastic colored or shaped
vases. The simple beauty of the flow
ers is lost in such a holder. Clear
glass and the soft green's of Bohemian
make are most useful receptacles. Let
the lines of the vase or bowls be
simple and flowing and however cheap
the substance of which the vase is
made we shall not err.
Strive to produce the effect of the
flower when growing, and the error
of cutting off the lovely gray-green
stalks of daffodils and examining them
into fiat dish, or putting handful
of violets in a tube specimen glass
will be impossible.
There are many little contrivances
nowadays that help wonderfully in the
attractive arrangement of flowers. The

KEEPING WEEDS OUT OF LAWN

If one gets n good set of grass in
the beginning and keeps the ground
fertilized by coating of stable ma
nure or commercial fertilizer every
spring there will be little trouble with
weeds if the lawn is kept properly
moved.
Some claim that there are weeds
that cannot be clipped with the lawn
mower. We have found this complaint
used, for it will bend and not cut wiry
stems, as of crab grass and some other
troublesome plants.
The only way of getting these is by
clipping off with mower that has n
sickle similar to hay mower. The
guards of these machines raise up the
stems and the sickle cuts them off
without mashing down or pulling
There is no need of using the hook
so much If one is careful when get
ting a mower, to get one that cuts
ahead of the wheels, and as wide as
the extreme distance apart of the out
side of the wheels.
This will not leave the strip along
the borders that is mashed down by
the wheels.
Moles do a great deal of damage, but
may be run out by frequent rolling, or
may be trapped.
These may be destroyed by pouring
into the ant hills n tablespoonful of
carbon bisulphid. stopping the hole so
the fumes are confined.

and are well worth all they cost.
With such an arrangement three or
four daffodils with their golden glow
can bring a bit of sunshine into a
dreary room and add beauty that an
armful of exquisite roses crammed

Color harmony in flower arrange
ment should be well thought out, not
only with regard to the relative posi-
tion of one flower with another, but
also with the room in which the vase
is to have place.
Colors that blend out of doors, be-
cause of the gradations in shade
caused by atmospheric effects and the
relieving sprays of green, would pro-
duce discord when massed in a room,
but inharmonious effects can be avoid
ed by observing a few general rules
Now that flowers can be secured the
year round, the problem having been
solved by the gardeners, after years
of probing, some sort of bloom should
have daily place in the house. The
intimate association with such lowell
ness gladdens the heart and quickens
the senses and inspires all that is best
within us.

EASTER GREETINGS BY TELE
GRAPH,

The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany has made arrangements to deliv-
er messages containing Easter greet
ings ON special blanks of an attractive
design appropriate to the occasion,
The employment of similar blanks last
year met with considerable favor.
With the growing recognition Of the
effectiveness Of the telegram in its
modern form, such as the day letter
and night letter, as a vehicle for fami-
ly and social messages, there has been
a large increase in its use for COM
munications of a personal character,
particularly for conveying messages of
seasona greetings. The telegraph
company is responding to this develop
ment by making provisions for spec
tally designed message forms in keep
ing with the spirit of the occasion.
