Most OF this talk about the high

those simple things more frequently
and IL will stop anyway with the
war, for then prices will return to
their normal level while the increased
efficiency will continue"
Material shortage and the congestion
OF regular lines of transportation
have given the motor truck an excel
lent opportunity demonstrate Its
value for long haul freight and ex-
press service. From all parts Of the
country, particularly the larger cities,
come reports of how the commercial
vehicle has Jumped into emergency
and filled many gaps which could not
have been filled by the horse, be-
cause these gaps have usually called
for haul of from 20 to 100 miles
with heavy loads, AZ q rate of speed
which would closely approximate the
speed Of the freight train.
The result of the good work done
oy the motor truck In this time OF
need has been a general awakening
of manufacturers and merchants to
modern motor driven wagons. Within
the past six months the manufacturers
of New England, who have war or
ders to fills have found IL extremely
difficult to get their finished product
to Boston, New York and other sea-
ports for shipments. They have also
found IL difficult to get raw material
into their factories over the estab-
| lished lines of transportation. The
American Brass company, with plants
at Waterbury and Ansonia, Conn, was
one Of the first large concerns to at
| tempt the shipment of raw material
up Long Island Sound on barges TO
New Haven and thence by motor truck
and trolley to its plants. Several fac
| tories in the Naugatuck valley have
| been transporting material from
/ bethlehem, Pa to Waterbury and
| ether manufacturing centers in the
valley by a regular motor vehicle line
| running on schedule.
The Winchester Arms Co. OF New
| Haven. the Remington Arms Co, Of
! Bridgeport, Conn, the Stamford. Conn
/ Rolling Mills, the Union Metallic Cart

1 tories are using motor trucks to haul
material from New York and to re-
turn finished product for shipment
abroad.

PASS BILLION-DoLLAR MARK
Lumber Products Of Country Above
This Figure in 1914, in Spite of
Temporary Slump in Industry.

The value of the annual output of
lumber products of the United States
is now well above the billion-dcllar
mark. This mark was passed in 1908,
when the output was valued at 81 $780,
7S600O, and while a decllLe of 53 per
cent was shown in 1914, according to
census figures just given out by Uncle
Sam, the annual output was still
worth more than billion dollars, the
exact value being placed at $1,022, $685.
900. The figures for 1916 are ex-
pected to generally exceed those of
1914.
In spite Of general slump in the

WOMEN ENTER PROFESSIONS
man Universities Greatly In
creased Since War Started.

Many German women are studying
LESSONS, says Uncle Sans consul at
Nuremberg. The woman students en-
rolled at the different German univer-
stiles for the summer semester of 1918
numbered $3.50, or nearly twice the
number enrolled in 1911. Female stu
dents in 1916 constituted 10.5 per cent
Of the total student body, compared
with AS per cent five years ago.
During the past five years feminine
interest in mathematics, natural sci
ence, and medicine has greatly in
creased; more than one-fourth Of the
women students now are enrolled for
the last-named course, compared with
about 20 Per cent five years ago, or, in
actual numbers, 1894 compared with
$50. The students of mathematics and
natural science number 1,011, COM
pared with 504 five years ago. In phi
lology and history the number has risen
since 1911 from 1868 to 1854; in poll
teal science and agriculture, from 81
to 213; law, from 80 to 90; Protestant
theology, from to IA; pharmacy,
from 8 to %; and dentistry, from q
to SO.
Since the outbreak of the war the en-
rollment Of female students has made
particular strides in the Prussian uni.
versities (Berlin, Frankfort-on-M

university at the Bavarian capital, Mu
mich. The increase at Heidelberg and

CHINA VERY FRIENDLY
Eager to Obtain American Help in
Building New Republic.
Uncle Sans Commercial Attaehe De-
clares Financiers and Business Men
Overlook Big Opportunity.
BY JULIAN H. ARNOLD,
Commercial Attache to American En-
bassy at Picking, China.

Americas greatest asset in China TO-
day is the friendship of the Chinese
people.
No other people on the face Of the
earth occupy such q warm place In the
hearts Of Chinese as do Americans.
Just before leaving Picking recently
President Ii Yuan Hung asked me to
convey for him and his people to the
people Of the United States q message
of friendship, ard to state that Ameri-
can capital, brains and material are
wanted to help build the new China.
But how is America availlng herself
of this position of vantage? While
China's import trade has increased
fourfold in the past % years, her i'm
ports from the United States have not
even doubled in that period.
In fact, our trade with China during
the past ten years has been about sta
tionary. What we have lost in piece
goods and -four, we have gained in
kerosene and steel products.
The great mistake made by Ameri-
can manufacturers, exporters and
bankers today in regarding China as a
field for activity is their failure to con-
slider the China of ten and twenty
years hence rather than the country
today.
The reason American trade has
Jagged behind that of other nations in
China is that American financiers have
not participated in Chinese loans. Brit
ish, German, French and Japanese cap
ital has gone into China in big way.
But American capital, though extended
an especially cordial invitation, has re-
manned shy.
In spite of China's revolutions and
rebelliOns, foreign interests have been
protected and they have been indem-
nified against all direct losses.
Today the new China is rapidly
forcing out the old. We shall make
no mistake in responding to the gener-
Gus invitation of the Chinese nation
for our capital, brains and materials.

GASOLINE MADE FROM GAS
Great Growth of New Industry in
United States Shown by Statistics
Prepared by Uncle Sam.

A new industry, that of manufacture
ing gasoline out Of natural gas, and
known as the casing head gasoline in
dustry, grew rapidly in 1915, accord
ing to statistics compiled by Uncle
Sam.
The quantity of raw gasoline ex-
tracted from natural gas and sold in
that year amounted to 65,364 ,665 gal
Ions, gain of 22,712,033 gallons, or
SO per cent, over the quantity market
ed in 1914. The average price re-
ceived for the unblended product at
the sources of production was 10
cents gallon, and the market value OF
the entire output was So, 15o, 1923, q
gain Of 0.6 cent in average unit price
and of $2,o44,914, or e6 per cent, in
total market value, compared with
1914.
(. The volume of natural gas utilized
in the manufacture of this quantity of
gasoline, exclusive Of that recovered
as drips from gas mains, is estimated
at more than $4,000, 100000 cubic feet,
and the average recovery of gasoline
per thousand feet was 2.57 gallons.

fncture of gasoline from natural gas
