ing will be done, the students then

CENSUS AbsTR ACT
OF MANUFACTURES
IS NOW INSURED

Washington, D. c.. June 30.-The
abstract of the census of manufac-
lures has just been issued by the bu-
reau of census. This inquiry, which
related to the calendar year 1914, was
made in 1915, and the primary or fun
damental data derived from it, to-
gether with some details as to kinds
and quantities of the various classes
of products, were issued some time
ago in the form of several series Of
press summaries which were publish
ed, in whole or in part, in many news
papers and periodicals.. The abstract
presents, in convenient form, with an
alphabetical index, all the informa-
ton that will be needed by the great
majority of persons who have use FOR
the manufactures statistics. 1t gives,
for $40 separate manufacturing indus
tries, statistics relating to number,
size and character of ownership OF
establishments, and states in which
located; proprietors, officials, salaried
employees, and wage earners, classi-
fled according to sex and, in the ease
of wage earners, according to whethA
er 16 years of age or over, or under
that age; salaries and wages paid;
power used, fuel consumed, cost of
materials, value of products, quaint
ties of principal products, and va
rious other items. Statistics some
what similar in scope but in less
detail are given, with reference to all
industries combined, for each state
and geographic division and for each
of the leading 100 cities.
The abstract, which is issued in the
form of a 722-page volume 8 IL by
61-4 inches in size, bound in CLOTH,
is not for free distribution: but may
be obtained by purchase from the
superintendent of documents, govern
ment printing office, at 65 cents per

Importation of Cattle From Latin
America May be Allowed to
Help the Meat Shortage In u. S.

A delegation from the Mobile
Chamber of Commerce, headed by
Secretary Clemens and from the New
Orleans Board of Trade, came to
Washington about a year ago and
made a strong effort to secure the
adoption of the amendment made by
the senate today. They spent much
time here working on the plans They
obtained the adoption of the amend
ment by the committee, but despite
valiant fight made for it by Sena-
tors Underwood and Bankhead, of
Alabama, and Senators Ransdell and
Thornton, of Louisiana, it was lost in
the senate through the efforts of
Senator Sheppard, of Texas, and the
New Mexico and Arizona senator's,
who opposed it.
The amendment was adopted with
out opposition this time because of
the universally recognized need of
adding as much as possible to the
available food supplies of the United
States, especially cattle.
1t was said by Secretary Clemens
and the other members of the Mobile
Chamber of Commerce a year ago
that tick infested cattle can be OBJ
tanned very cheaply in Central and
South America, imported through the
gulf ports, carefully quarantined and
dipped at the port, and put in excel
lent condition through a few months
grazing in the United States. Con
siderable profit, they said, could be
made in this way without endangering
American cattle, and at the same time
the supply of fresh meat can be very
materially increased at small cost.

GOLDEN JUBILEE
DOMINION CANADA

Ottawa, Ont, June 30.-TOmorrow's
celebration of Dominion Day will pos
sess more than ordinary significance,
inasmuch as it will mark the golden
jubilee or fiftieth anniversary of the
Canadian confederation. 1t was in
March, 1867, that the British parlia-
ment, after long consideration, passed
an act for the union of the provinces
of Canada, Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick. 1t provided that the queen
in cuncil might declare by proclama-
ton, within six months of the passage
of the act, that these provinces shoul2
form one dominion under the name of
Canada.
The act came into force july /, 1867.
Later in the year the first dominion
parliament was opened at Ottawa, Sc
lected by Queen Victoria as the do
minion capital, by Governor-General
Lord Monck. BY the British North
America act of 1871 it was provided
that the parliament of Canada might
establish new provinces. Under this
act, several months later, British Co
lumbia was united to the dominion.
Manitoba had been admitted IN 1870,
and in 1882 the future establishment
of the provinces of Alberta and Sas-
katcts=Rn was provided for by a di-
vision of the narthwest territory west
of Manitoba.
Early plans for an elaborate cele
bration of the golden jubilee have beer
| abandoned on account of the war. Ar
rangements have ben made, however
for an appropriate observance of the
anniversary. A special committee O
the house of commons appointed t.
consider the question rs recommends
that the day be. celebrated in Ottawt
and all thesprovincial capitals. Will
it is intended that the anniversar
shall be fittingly observed, it was de
cided that there should be no undu
expense in carrying out the arrange
ments and no unnecessary demonstra
tons in view of the war.
In this city a feature of the celebra
ton will be the dedication of a table
in the new house of commons mex
Monday. 1t is proposed that specis
services be held in all the churche
and that all public bodies and organi
atoms observe the day in some spe
cial manner.

Washington, d. c., June 30.--A pro-
vision to permit the importation into
the United States through the gulf
ports, of tick infested cattle from
Central and South America, MexiSo.
the islands Of the Gulf of Mexico and
the Caribbean Sea, was adopted by the
senate Thursday afternoon as an
amendment TO the food control bill.
Under law passed in 1890 such i'm
portaIons are prohibited. By an
amendment 20 the food control bill.
Under law passed in 1890 such i'm
portations are prohibited. BY an
amendment to the agricultural appro-
prlation bill, passed some years later,
provision was made that appropriations
could be made into Texas from Mex
leo. THIS amendment was put over"
by Postmaster General Burleson, who
was then member of congress on the
ground that the amendment was nee
| essary to enable the cattle raisers of
Texas to grave their cattle across the
Mexican line and market them on this
side of the border.
By this rule it has been possible
ever since to import tick infested cat
tie through the Texas ports from
| Mexico
The amendment adopted by the SEN
| ate today authorizes the secretary Of
agriculture at his discretion to permit
| importations Of tick infested cattle
through the gulf ports under such
regulations as he may prescribe.
Immediately upon hearing of the
/ senate action, Congressman Gray, of
| Mobile, and Dupre and Estopinal, of
| New Orleans. called on Secretary of
Agriculture Houston and after a long
argument secured the promise of the
secretary that he would recommend
| Chairman Lever, of the house agri-
| cultural committee, that the senate
amendment be accepted by the house.

Maine. Orders have been issued to the coast guard stations along the entire Atlantic coast to make a thor ough and close search of all rugged and unlikely points,
 The rumor states that the base is not established but is in the line of a floating dock which can be moved seawards by the submarine, or from point to point of the coast line as desired. Il is also stated that the greater portion of the underwater craft which now appear on the At lantic seahoard are American pro ducts manufactured and assembled by Germans who are in the United States.
 The secret service department have been called in to ascertain the truth of the rumors and the capture of one of the U boats Is eagerly looked for as it might throw light in this matter and disclose some sensational devel- opments.
