 In Tokio the poet seeks to adhere as closely as possible to his normal life. He rises seldom later than o'clock in the morning and passes four hours in meditation.

]. 5. SHOWS B|C BALANCE IN
 TRADE

WASHINGTON. July 29. Statis- tics prepared by the government show that the trade of the United States for the past fiscal year has been the greatest in it's history. The trade balance in its favor amounts to $2,- l36, 100000, which is double that of last year and four times as great as the year 1914.
 The great increase in American trade is claimed to be due almost en- tirely to the war, but 1t is expected that much of the trade gained in the past two years will be held after peace has been concluded.

SPEND MILLIONS IN ROADS IN

MANILA, July 9. - The Philip pines now boast of S,20l.6 kilometers of roads now being used for traffic. an increase of more than 300 per cent in the past five years. The credit for this is shared by the administrations of Governor General Harrison and for mer Governor General Forbes, the lat ter having initiated an active cam paign of road building which his sue cessor pushed so successfully that last year saw the construction of greater road mileage than any year in Philippine history
 There are more than 5000 kilomet- CTS of first class road in the islands, and it Is road of a quality of which any state in the United States might be proud There are some provinces in which the heaviest automobile trucks can travel from one end to tue OlucI HI LbC oCCt SNOA HIS "AN~ out suffering the slightest inconven- fence because of mud or washed out highways. In most provinces during the dry season 1t is possible to travel anywhere in light motor car.
 Last year saw the expenditure of nearly $3,OOO,O 900 in road work, and the program for this year Is almost as ambitious. The effect of this road building has been a big increase in inter-provincial trade and remark able growth in the automobile busi- ness. Practically every dealer in Ma nila is handicapped by the fact that he cannot get cars fast enough. It is no uncommon thing to find a ship ment of the more popular cars sold out before it's date of arrival

NEW YORK, July 29. - A new death record in the infantile paralysis epidemic was established today. when forty-four deaths from this disease were reported in the last twenty-four hours.
