u. S. Consul Says Orient
Calls for Northwest Products

Consul General John P. Bray, of
Singapore, Straits Settlements, who is
On leave Of absence from his post, ar
rived on the Pacific Coast last week
and has spent couple of days in Sc
attle In conference with business men
and others interested in trade in the
Northwest. The consul general has
been in the service of the State de-
partment for about 20 years and for a
number of years was stationed at Sgd
ney, Australia, but recently was trans
ferred to Singapore, where he not only
looks after the affairs of the depart
ment of state, but also has charge of
the affairs of other countries now at
war.
The consul general spent considera-
BILE time in the Seattle Office of the bu-
reau of foreign and domestic COM
merce and has given to the commercial
agent the following statement as to
conditions in the Straits Settlements
as they probably affect the business of
the Pacific Northwest.
"As to the manufacturing interests
of the Pacific Northwest, / would say
that there is large opening in the
Oriental countries for products of this
region. Especially is this true in re-
gard to pine lumber, flour, fruits,
canned fish particularly salmon).
"The development of the Straits
Settlements and the Federated Malay
States provides a great field for the
manufactured steel products of the Pa
cific Northwest, and especially would
| call the attention of manufacturers
of this section to the lack of tnonage
for the manufactured products to be
sent forward"

Money In DandelIon Roots.

Selling dandelion roots at to G
cents per pound offers pretty fair
premium on removing the dandelion
pests from lawns, fields and pastures.
Since 100000 pounds or more are
imported annually into the United
States 1t seems that many a young boy
or girl ought to make fairly good
wages by collecting and preparing
dandelion roots for the drug trade.

SAVING SCHOOL CHILDREN,

Sanitary Measures Now Adopted
Throughout the Country.
Laws requiring sanitary conditions
in public school buildings have been
enforced in forty-four states Of the
Union. according to bulletin on
school Sanitation just issued by the
bureau Of education Of the United
States department of the interior
Progress In this phase of education has
been made almost entirely within the
last decade. That the change for the
better was accomplished so rapidly
was due for the most part to the readi-
ness OF each state to profit by the ex-
ample OF the others. A law passed in
one extreme Of the country today Il
copied within a month or a year by an
other state. perhaps 1000 or 1900
miles away.
In thirty-eight states legal provisions
regarding the school site have been es-
tablished. Nearly all these provisions
are state wide in their application and
are mandatory In character. Kansas
was the first to revolt against the com.
mon drinking cup. and since that state
started the crusade thirty others have
