EXPORTS BREAK RECORDS
Munitions OF War and Food Products
Bring Record Gains In Exports
To United States.

Washington.-The enormous extent
of recent gains in the export trade of
the United States is disclosed in sta
tistics issued by the department Of
commerce. Total exports to the va
rious countries for the first eight
months of the calendar year were in
many cases millions of dollars great
er than those Of the entire fiscal year
of 1914 and very large increases are
shown in percentages.
Exports to Greece leaped 2,200 per
cent; to Russia, 900 per cent; to Nor
way, $40 per cent; to France, 240 per
cent; to Denmark, 140 per cent; to
Italy, 129 per cent; to the United
Kingdom, 103 per cent; to Sweden, "a
per cent; to China, AZ per cent, and
to Japan, Is per cent.
This vast export trade shows an
apparent trade balance for the eight
months of $1,7SO,0O0, 900 in favor of
the United States and department Of
ficials predict that by the end of the
year 1t will exceed $4,000, 100000. The
total exports amounted to $3,435, $685.
212, an increase of $1,205,0S2,010 over
the same eight months year ago.

PROHIBITION BENEFITS MlLkMAN

A Massachusetts, man, investigating
the dairy business in Denver, found
that during the first four months under
state prohibition there was an increase
In milk sales of over $21 1000.
One dairy had milk route in dis
trict where AZ saloons had been its
best customers, and the proprietor ex-
pected to take that particular wagon
off. But with the closing of the sa-
looms came the opening of more lunch
counters and milk sales in that district
increased about SIS day.
There has been little increase in the
better residence districts-Park hill,
Capitol hill and the well-to-do parts of
the North and South sides, where, If
people drank, at least they could also
buy milk. But route around the

RY.Product Coke Oven.

The iron industry of this country
has been adopting the by-product cox
ing process at marvellous rate. There
are practically no by-product coke
plants in the United States, which do
not recover ammonia, tar and light oil
(crude benzoD.
In the vast majority of the plants
also surplus gas is recovered and util-
lied either at the plant itself or by
distribution to outside consumers.
There are possibly two or three very
small by-product coke plants at which
tar and ammonia are not recovered for
disposal to the outside markets, but
these would certainly represent con-
siderably less than l per cent Of the
total by-product coking capacity of
the country that Is not now equipped
with benzol-recovery plants, and the
by-prdouct coking plants now under
construction have either contracted for
benzol-recovery equipment or indicated
a strong probability that such provi-
sion will be- made.-Metallurg and
Chemical Engineering.

RAISES STANDARD or LIVING.

Miss Gertrude Vale, executive sec
rotary of the bureau of charity and cor
rections, says in the Denver News:
"We have been asked many times
whether prohibition has had any eff
feet on the work of the city relief
office. We feel that 1t has very great
ly helped us. The number of fam
lilies asking relief from the city Office
has been about a hundred month less
than for the corresponding month last
year.
Most Of that difference Is account
ed for in the employment problem.
We have had very much less trouble
with unemployment this year than
last. That may not be due to prohibit
ton, but at least, prohibition has not
created a hard unemployment prob
lem, as some people anticipated. We
can recall only two cases in which re-
lief has been asked because the man
had been thrown out Of employment
by the closing of the saloons.
"Men are using their wages more
for their families. Among us all in
the Office we can think of only two
cases since the first of last January
In which woman has complained
that her husband did not bring home
his wages. Last year that was a
frequent and bitter complaint.
"Grocers tell us, without exception,
that they are better able to make their
collections, and that people are buy
ing more and better quality of food.
One grocer commented that it was
worth great deal to see the in
creased manner Of self-respect with
which the women did the buying since
they could buy better things.
$50 we are convinced that how
ever much or little actual drunk
enness may have had to do with the
poverty we meet, at any rate, since
the closing of the saloons people are
being better fed, and that will 60 far

erty.
"They are doing better about meet
ing their just obligations, and that
will go far toward raising their self
respect and their general standard of
living"

BRINGS BOOM TO BOLIVIA
Finding Of Rich Deposits Of Tungsten
Has Aroused Great Excite
ment.

Mining for tungsten or wolfram has
brought prosperity to Bolivia. Accord
ing to El Diario Of La Paz, the boom
at the mining center of Ourure can
scarcely be exaggerated.
Daily the miners and workmen
fiocked into the town from the outly-
ing districts, carrying the fruit of their
labors. The camps were full of nerv-
Gus energy.
individuals pass through the streets
of Oururo with faces burned by the
wind and sun. They are the miners
who have come to offer the exporting
houses lots of wolfram, varying be-
tween 100 and 1000 pounds. The
amount Of this sale, 5000 to $1,000, is
considerable In view Of the modest con-
dition of the miners, of whom the ma
jority are Indians. The proceeds Of
the sale are deposited In the banks at
sight, and the miner, happy and con-
tented with the certificate of his capt.
tai, returns to the Cordlllera to bring
down new treasures.
In nearly all the mineral districts Of
the department Of Oururo there are
rich deposits of wolfram. Motor cars
have been rapidly springing into popu-
laIty for use in visiting the mining re-
gions, and many cars have recently
been ordered from the United States.
Tungsten and tin ores are found at
attitudes between 1850 and 1880
feet above sea level, Men, mules and
llamas can climb up and down, but the
slopes are too steep for working and
handling of ore. Aerial ropeways are
used to bring the ore down to a place

BEER pRINkER AND HIS FAMILY.

the excessive burden that is thrown
upon them, wear out prematurely.
The beer drinker may have an abund-
ance of flesh, but 1t is of inferior
quality. Surgeons do not care TO OPP
crate upon him. because the chances
of recovery are minimized. Should
the beer drinker be stricken down with
pneumonia or some other febrile dis
ease that taxes the heart and kidneys,

Nantucket, Mass-Three British
cruisers arrived off Nantucket Island
early Monday morning. Radio mes
sages in code were constantly exchang-
ed by the vessels. Other cruisers of
the allied naval forces were expected
to the scene of the submarine activ-
tiles during the day.
Boston, Oct. S.--The submarine arm
of the imperial German navy ravaged
shipping off the eastern coast Of the
United States Sunday. Four British,
one Dutch and one Norwegian steam
ers were sent to the bottom or left
crippled derelicts off Nantucket
Shoals.
Tonight, under the light of the hunt
er's moon, the destroyer flotilla Of the
United States Atlantic fleet was pick
ing up passengers and crews of the
destroyed vessels and bringing them
into Newport, R. |. So far as known,
there was no loss of life, though at a
late hour the crew of the British
steamer Kingston had not been ac-
counted for.
A submarine held up the American
steamer Kansas, bound from New
York for Genoa with steel for the Ital-
ian government but later, ON estab-
fishing her identity, allowed her to
proceed. The Kansas came into Bos-
ton harbor for her usual call here.
The hostile submarine is believed to
be the U-53, which paid call to New
port and disappeared at sunset. Some
naval men, however, declared that at
least two submarines are operating
close to the American shore, though
outside the three-mile limit.
