ness Germany shipped abroad from
sixty to sixty-fve thousand tons of
aniline dyes. of which the United states
gets from fourteen to fifteen thousand
tons. The quantity at present 1s not
anything like this. not only because OF
the interference by England with all
commerce, but also because Germany Is
not of a mind to let the United states
have chemicals and dyes without get
ting something in return.
Before England and France declared
cotton contraband, Germany insisted on
having American cotton in exchange
for chemicals and dyes. Lately, in the
desire to promote good will in the
United States. some liberafity has been
shown notwithstanding the inability to
get cotton, but the American printing
industry and the paper mills are still
seriously inconvenienced. The bureau
of engraving and printing, by the aid
of the State Department in reaching an
agreement with both Germany and
England, obtained a cargo of dyes. in
five colors. which will be sufficient for
the stamps for a full year, and the as
surance is given that the postage
stamps will be frightened up. but pri
vate industries are not SO well off as
government industries in this respect.
The interruption of the German book
and lithographing trade, due to the
success of the allies in keeping Ger
man commerce off the seas. may be
having some reflex effect on the indus
tries of the empire since it deprives the
German people of considerable source
of revenue from exports.
The Germans have been as successful
in TYPOGRAPHY and chrome-lithography
and in affiliated industries as they have
been in other lines, where they have
applied scientific methods to the utilf-
zation of new inventions. They also
have had the advantage of the produc-
ton of photographic stones within their
own borders.
People who choose to look askance
upon German industry and commercial
progress and who understand by Ger
man "kultur' only national efficiency
in it's crudest form, may be surprised
to learn something of the high state
of the German printing industry.
When the war broke out there was In
progress at Leipzig an international
exposition of book industries and
graphic arts. Leipzig is as notable for
these expositions as for the annual fur
sale, or its musical facilities. 1t is the
center of the German book printing in
dustry and it's products go all over the
world.
The exposition grounds covered 100
acres. German exhibits comprised the
major part, yet there were notable ex-
hibits from nearly all the other Euro
pean countries. The United States had
no exhibit of its printing Industries.
but the Library of Congress gave an
exhibition which demonstrated how
far superior it's system is in supplying
patrons with books to the much-vaunt-
ed German efficiency. In this respect
the Germans were forced to admit that
their system was so far behind our
own that they might never catch up.
They consoled themselves with the re-
Election that they were never in a
hurry for books, anyhow. wait of six
hours being what they were accustom-
ed to.
The Leipzig exposition was declared
to be cultural in it's essentials. The
purpose was to show a clear picture

Of international culture based on the
art of writing and printing, and of
the book trade as a disseminator Of
knowledge. 1t was sought to set forth
how closely these subjects are connect
ed with science, art and literature and
with the progress and civilization of
the human race.
In the turmoil Of war discussion and
of partisan passions 1t is worth while
to recall this Leipzig exposition Of the
book industries and graphic arts as an
offset to Prussian mflitarism. In the
heated partisanship 1t is also worth
while to recall some of the books that
have made Leipzig famous as an inter-
national publishing center. One of
these Is Baedeker, others are transla-
still others are reprints of the Eng
lish classics.
1t may be assumed as a matter Of
course that the book industry of Leip-
zig at present is not booming any more
than the toy trade of the city. For ex-
ample, the United States used to take
approximately 100000 Of books and
chromos and photographic prints, while
the imports now are negligible.
Germany, however, is not likely, be-
cause of any temporary interruption,
to let her photographic and printing in
dustries be permanently undermined.
German success in Oil color machines
has been watched by manufacturers in
other countries, as well as her adj
vances in photogravure processes. Some

Married Men Tell Their
Ideas Of a Perfect Wife

Closing a series of "ideal" sermons
in when members of the congregation
were asked to express their opinions as
to ideal folks, the Rev. F. 7. Porter, of
the First Christian church preached on
"The Ideal Wife, last evening and re-
eeived suggestions and opinions from
his congregation.
Several of the opinions as to what
an ideal wife should and should not be
are as follows, the opinions being read
and commented on from the pulpit:
|. An ideal wife is one that is good
looking, good nltured, good nousekeeper
and a good cook. She should be willing
to make biscuits and pancakes at least
three times a week.
,. The ideal wife must be a church
member and attend church and prayer
meeting and insist on the Bible being
read in the home.
3. My ideal of a wife is one that is
kind and eonsiderate of others and de-
voted to her home and church. Sne
should ever be ready to lend a helping
hand to those that are not as well stu
ated as she is. She should believe in
helping her husbnd in every way.
!. My ideal of wife is one that mas
been born and reared on a farm and is
n judge and admirer of all kinds of
stock and not ashamed to milk cow.
She should be an expert about the house
and not be offended if five clock
breakfast is ordered, and should prefer
to wear hat that is paid for rather
than one worth $50 to be paid for ON
the installment plan.
Beginning next Sunday Mr.. Porter
will continue his sermons on the ideal
idea, only the ideals will refer to sub
jects not quite so closely connected with
tine household. The first of the new
series will be inviting expressions of
opinions as to an ideal city and he hopes
to secure expressions from city officials
rs to what constitutes an ideal city.
