HOME TRADE
IS REvIvINC
Industries Clearing Immense
Profits. Not From
War Orders

The country Is goins ahead
cautiously. but II is going ahead"
SAYS the monthly letter OF w. h.
Humphrey & Co., Penobscot build
ing.
Were n not for the war II 10
probable that we should be In the
midst 4 the greatest speculative
movement that t-e United States
has ever seen. There would be
abundant basis for II In the strong
position OF the railroads. our un-
orecedented gold holdings, the un-
parslleled foreign trade. and the
high prices received for record
breaking crops. American business
men ara not losing their heads, but
are proceeding carefully with the
sole idea of doing the best they can
to safeguard the position OF this
country. The steel plants have
booked such an enormous business
that many have found IL necessary
TO decline new foreign orders and
take only domestic business on
which deliveries we're not required
before next autumn. The situation,
therefore. in the basic industry IL
quite extraordinary.
"our industries are beginning to
clear immense profits, not from
ephemeral war orders but from
such a revival Of domestic business
as IL rarely witnessed except In
periods when the people are hope
full and believe that genuinely bet
ter times are ahead. Our business
men are becoming well established
in foreign markets that had been
previously closed to them, and while
there may be a troublesome read
justment after the war ends. II Is
certain that the resourcefulness,
initiative. and enterprise OF our In
dustrial leaders will match any for
eign competition that can make H.
self felt. This does not mean that
we shall retain all the foreign busi-
ness that we have gained. But II
suggests the absurdity OF thinking
that business in this country win
go to pot as soon as the belliger-
ents stop purchasing war supplies
In the United States.
The outlook Is thoroughly reas-
suring. People are feeling hopeful
and maiifesting their confidence In
the future by making heavy pur-
chases OF high-grade securities. ].
is evident that the speculative hold
ings of American securities In the
hands OF foreign institutions and
investors have been pretty well
liauidated. Furthermore. there Is
an investment demand in this coun-
try sunicient TO absorb what fur
ther offerings. of these securities
Europe cares TO make. No one can
tell how much longer the European
war will last. but the one thing GER
tain is. that the United States will
be the best prepared OF all neutral
nations to take advantag Of the
extraordinary opportunities for for
eign trade created by the war, and
TO finance the restoration OF peace
when the conflict ends. There ID
abundant basis for taking an optt
mistic view Of things during the
coming year OF world-changes"

Postal Receipts Expand.

Receipts Of the Detroit postofhce

to the annual report prepared by
Thomas L. Cashin, assistant post
master. The increase was nearly
$4,000. 900, or the largest In the his
tory OF the Detroit ONCE. The
greater part OF the increase Was due
TO increased receipts In the domes
tic money order division. On the
other hand, there was falling on
OF $4,000 in the foreign money or.
der division. Totals receipts. e1.
cIuding the stamp sales, in 1915,

CAR ELESS PERSONS
ARE SCORED

Brookings, April T. A per-
son who is careless in the use of
the highly infiammable oils, kerO-
sene and gasOlere, is just as
blamewOrthy as the person who
is careless with load .d firearms, y
saws Professor Robertson Cook. OF
The $ ate college engineering de-
partment. Professor Cook sug-
gests the following simple rules
to prevent nearly all explosions or
fires caused by kerosene or gaso-
line accidents in which usually,
some one is badly. perhaps fatally
burned:
First. DO not bring or allow
exposed gasoline or anything COW
cred with gasoline into a room
where there is lighted stove or
lamp. A spark Of any kind may
be enough to explode the gasoline
vanor formed
Second. Use the greatest care
in anhbing any article soaked in
gasoline or in cleaning with gasO-
line as the friction may cause an
electric spark which will ignite
the gasoline.
Third. If gasoline stoves or
lights are used, the odor of gasO-
line in the room should be the
