BRADSTREETS TELL
OF WONDERFUL 1916
unprecedented Record of Trading and
Prosperity Reviewed.

Nineteen hundred and sixteen was a
wonderful year, but that characterization
does only partial justice to this latest and
Greatest twelve months in the country 5
history, Is Bradstreet's review Of the
1915 record OF unprecedented prosperity.
n was said Of 1915 that adjectives were
lacking fty to portray that years
progress
So Il may be said Of 1915, in turn, that
comparatives fail to describe the repeated
examples OF high records set up in nearly
all lines of trade and industry. only
to Be displaced in turn and relegated TO
the rear by new and hitherto unheard-of
totals Of Industrial production and trade
volume. Of bank clearings and building
expenditure, of transportation earnings
on land and on wate' OF export and I'M
port trade IN merch ndise, in gold and
In silver, OF miners output and ship
construction. Of prices OF all commodi-
tisA and Of high levels Of wages paid
n most industries and of dividends paid
By enterprises Of all kinds.
Many Records Broken.
II would be far easier, In fact, to single
out tho linss that did not break records
than to attempt to enumerate the multi
tude Of directions In which trade ex-
banded. industry set up new milestones
OF progress, and finance sought wider
fields Of exploitation.
In 1915 the bogy of troublesome liquIda-
non OF our own stocks and bonds held
abroad was finally laid. and we began to
oner market here for foreign securities
but IN 1915 we definitely secured title to
our position as a creditor nation, loaned
freely to the entire world, and. despite
hitherto unequaled purchases by US OF
oeliserent securities, became possessed
Of gold imports In a volume such as was
never beIOra To fha ~
foreign war demand, represented by un-
terIals to feed Cur Industrial machinery,
and general merchandise sold abroad,
was added a new and record oref. kin z
volume Of imports, largely 81 raw, ma
terials to food our Industrial machinery,
while at the same time purely domestic
trade grew beyond the most sg.nguine
dreams Of our merchants and msnufac-
turers.
Quietly Down In Mfdyear.
A quieting down IN midyear, with at
tendant free predictions OF the ternina-
ton Of war demand, merely acted as q
breathing spell before new and still large,
demands were again met In the autumn
and early winter.
Not enough cars, labor or goods was
a common description OF trade and in
dustry throughout many months Even
toward the close OF the year, when nearly
all lines were booked for nine months
ahead. and some iron and steel lines were
sold well into 1918, when prices Of COM
modities, after rising to new heights,
had broken badly. due largely to pes &c
talk being injected into the situation.
there were but few signs of a lst-up
IN active buying. or Indications that the
conservatism SO long preached was really
acting as q brake upon extraordinary
purchasing.

Ny friend Luigi, who conducts a
hole-in-the-wall restaurant, chiefly patron
lied by the Woolworth brand of
soup -gargling Bohemians. told me that
he was forced by the war to raise ais
prices. As had been in the habit of
nightly visiting his establishment in
order to revel among the yiands of his
Se-cent table d'hote dinner, this -as a
dlstlnct shock to my nervous system

Isl. Signor," he remarked WITH
sigh, meanwhile juggling a few miles
Of sphaghetti on the end Of his fork,
dis high-cost living ees vary expense"
By much adroit questioning I learn
ed that because OF the activity of the
Austrian aeroplsnes, the frolicsorne fin
nies OF Sardinia absolutely refused to
swim ashore and let the disciples of
Ike Walton gather them in, and for
this reason the price on this absolutely
necessary part of a table d'hote dinner
had advanced from s12.5o per 100 boxes

lions OF rats that had infested the
european battlehelds, 1t took the en-
tire output : Mr.. Parmesan's cheese
mines to keep the rats from starving.
I thought 1 might help him out in
this matter and asked why he didn't
get Limburger cheese. He assured me
that since the Germans had captured
Lemoerg many million prisoners were
put to work in the famous cheese
mines there, but the prisoners ate the
product as fast as It was blasted out.
When questioned as to the shortage
OF spaghetti, he told me with a proud
CLEAN of patriotism in his eyes that
the Italian government had seized all
the honest-to-gOodness born-in-ItaIy
spaghetti to make trench periscopes
for the Austrian campaign.
Luigi being a diplomat by nature.

PROMISED THAW TO
STOP SKATERS FUN

According to the man In charge of the
weather, skating will be impossible un-
til another cold snap comes along and
tops the ponds over with a fresh coating
of ice. The temperature has dropped
enough to cause thaw and as q conse-
quenee the skating ponds are not hard
enough to be safe now. But the last few
days have afforded great opportunity
for this pastime.
Today promises to be fair. Wednesday
is expected to follow suit. 1t will gradu-
ally become warmer during the next two

wild MAN OF LAUDERDALE"
REPORTED TO AUTHORITIES

ATLANTA, Ga, July 1S.-Weird sto-
ries have been coming into Atlanta re-
Gently of a boy and a girl running
wild in the mountains near West
Lauderdale, Ala, and living like ami
mails with nothing but Natures garb
like Adam and Eve in the garden.
Finally the stories became so persis-
tent that they have commanded Off
cial attention, and at the request OF
William Green, who lives in the neigh
borhood, the sheriff has organized a
hunt for the strange couple.
According to eye witnesses who
claim to have caught sight of them,
the boy and girl appear to be about
ten or twelve years of age, and are as
wild and shy as deer, running away
at the approach of other humans
Various theories have been advanced
as to their strange behavior, one OF
these being that the children's parents
were killed in mountain storm, and
that the children were frightened out
Of their wits.
