American Manufacturers Forming Export Concerns
 To Curry NdtiOn's Goods

1 States, the Federal Trade commis
 sion having continual supervision over their activities and each indi-
 vidual manufacturing or jobbing mem Der of the association being amenable
 to the Sherman and Clayton acts in
 solar as his domestic business is con cerned.
 The bureau of foreign and dom ,stic
 commerce is prepared to give aid to the combinations, in the way of sta
 tistical and trade information a"out foreign markets. Additional commeT-
 cial attaches and travelling agents are
 being sought by the bureau to handle
 the expected increased value of Amer
 ican business and a movement is Un-
 der way with the backing of the de-
 partment of commerce, the ChamDer
 of Commerce of the United States and
 other organizations, to secure more
 consuls under the state department, part of whose duties would be to as- sist in this work.
 Owing to the existence of long-term credits customs in foreign markets, especially in South America, which were inaugurated by the Germans and English, it will be necessary for tie American exporters to have an agency for the quick discounting of trade acceptances and similar documents of indebtedness. American bankers, awake to this need, are moving hand
 in hand with the manufacturers even a few steps ahead-and are es- tablishing branch banks in South America, the West Indies, Italy. Den mark, Russia, China, the Philippines, the Straits Settlements, the Dutch East Indies, British India, Japan, Panama, Great Britain and other coun- tries where it is expected the export associations will carry the products of Yankee ingenuity and a civiliza, tion
 With all this preparation accom- plished and much more about to be begun, there remains one consider able problem for the American mer- chants to overcome before they can make any progress in foreign mar kets. This is shipping.
 Withdrawal of all merchant yes sells from normal trade routes and placing of them under absolute con trol of the shipping board under the stress of war necessity, makes it i'm | possible to get products to foreign buyers until some tonnage is re- leased by the board for normal trade | purposes. The situation in Europe | regarding food and reconstruction | is such that the board de- ;ires to retain control of every yes ;el until the emergencies have been | passed and it has been declared fin some quarters that at least two years must elapse before all the abnormal needs of the world can be supplied, even with the continual use of all ex- sting bottoms.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-AmericaI
 manufacturers are rapidly forming
 export associations which plan sC
 carry the products of the United
 States to every nation on earl, tC
 create and enlarge demands for good,
 Made in America" and to furnish
 cargoes for the American merchant
 marine to transport over the seven
 seas. The trade invasion of other
 countries will begin in earnest when
 Europe has been supplied with food and reconstruction materials and the
 world gets back to a normal peace basis
 To avoid collision with provisions of the Sherman antitrust act and the clayton law, the new associations gre filing statements of heir purposes with the Federal Trade commission, taking advantage of the Webb bill permitting such combinations solely for the purpose of export ;-ads. This act enables Americans to combine their strength to complete success fully with similar combinations in other countries. Up to the press 52 statements have been filed, em- bracing combinations of machinery and tool makers, paper makers, lum- Der manufacturers and general eX- porters.
 As a general rule, the combinations have been effected along the line of trade associations-that is, all .lanu- lecturers in the producing of a certain article or series of articles are 0ald- ing together, somewhat along ihe lines followed by the Germans in pushing goods to all corners of tke earth before the war. Some experts believe that this system is wrong and that the combinations should be eff fected along the department store idea-that is, that each combination should include one or two manufac- turers of each article and that the association should be able to furnish everything from a pin to a locomo- tive They argue this system would save much expense in maintaining salesmen and branch agencies and that just as strong organizations can be effected as under the other plan. Advocates of the one-line-of-b business idea contend. however, that their sys- tenn, which sends out highly special ized salesmen to sell one article cnly and which allocates all orders among the manufacturers embraced in the association, makes the stronger com bination to meet foreign competition only.
 Officials who have studied the | problem think the danger of an cut 1 growth Of these export associations | similar to the great metalgessels-haft | of Germany, which controlled metals l and metal products in all parts of | the world both in production lud dis | is eliminated by a nrovi- | sion of the Webb bill which prohibits | any exporters association from en- gazing in importing activities.

SPECTACLESHOWN
 BY REPATRIATED FRENCH PITIFUL
Women, Children and Old Men Return to Sections Formerly Occupied by Hun Showing Great Strain

EVAN. France. Nov. 13 (Corret spondence of the Associated Press).- The return to France of the women, children and old men who were sent out of that part of France occupied by Germans for more than four years pre- sented pitiful spectacles. Many of these refugees were little tots whose fathers and mothers had been taken away by the cruel Boche to work fin Germany or behind the fighting lines. Others were orphans.
 Twice daily the affecting scenes of their return were enacted here when the trains bringing them through Switzerland bringing 500 to 700 re- patriates back to the beloved soil of France. With them were Belgians, who came from parts of Belgium then occupied by the Hun. Much was done to relieve the sufferings of these poor people by s. S. Rowland, represen- tative of the Belgian Relief commits sion. stationed here, and by Mrs. How land, his wife.
 Describing the scene of the return of a trainload of refugees, Mir How land writes:

The Cause OF GOifre.

DR.. e. G.. Jones of Atlanta, OBJ
serves in a scientific article on goi-
ire in the southeastern section of
the United States, that in the region
Of the Great Lakes he has more
than once noticed SO per cent of the
mattresses in a restaurant with
gOitre. 1t is well known that gOitre
prevails more frequently in the
Great Lakes section than in other
parts of the country. The Great
Lakes section is far from the sea.
Goitre is very prevalent also in
Derbyshire, in the midland of Eng
land. II is VIGOROUSLY common in
Switzerland, a country far from the
seas. 1t is found unusually preva-
lent in parts of Central Asia, such
as Turkestan. Russian troops sta
toned in Turkestan developed goi-
tres in a few months.
The popular belief is that simple
gOitre, so often seen in girls and
young women and somewhat less
common in young men, is caused by
lime in the drinking water" and
on this theory great many people
go TO needless expense and trouble
to obtain distilled or mineral wa
ter for drinking purposes. There is
no reason to attribute goitre to
such a cause. There is consider
able reason to attribute it to the
absence of, or insuficiency of iodine

cate need for 10000 more workers on Illinois
farms Demobnizing of the army will yield perhaps
half that number. From where are the others to
come?
Getting an adequate supply of farm labor is pri-
arily question Of the ability of the farmer to com
pete for it with other employers. II he receives
money enough for his produce he pay wages high
enough to draw men from other fields Of activity
IF prices drop back to the old level he can't mat
is the situation In nutshell.
Intelligent cooperation by national employment
agencies may give some relief. Use of school boys
as farm workers during vacations and volunteers
from the cities help little, but they are only tenn
porary expedients at best.
In the past food prices have ruled abnormally
low. compared with those of other commodities
mainly because the producer has depended largely
upon members Of his family for help He never has
been able to exact a fair return even for his own
efforts such hired assistance he had was mainly
cheap foreign labor, of which there ade-
quate supply.
Conditions have changed greatly in recent years.
Growth of the cities has been disproportionately
large. demanding a greater and greater yield Of
foodstuffs per acre. and at the same time the num-
Der of green foreigners suitable for farm hands com
ing to this country has steadily decreased Improve
nent in labor saving machinery has helped to defer
the day Of readiustnent but about reached its
limit The time has come when there must be an
other remedy with continued high prices for farm
produce that will come automatically, and it can
come in no other way.
The Farmers National congress as well rec
oguize this fact and act accordingly

To this cause, | believe, (and please
note [ do not say lit is believed, :"
for 1 have no reason to camouf1age
the fact that this is my personal
opinion)-I believe we may attrib-
ute the geographic distribution of
gOitre. OF course the sea water is
the source of iodine Sea weeds or
plants are rich in iodine; the 10
dine of commerce is made from
seaweeds. Sea fish contain iodine
Sea, salt contains iodine. People
living far inland from the sea get
little sea food
The thyroid gland normally con-
tains much iodine. Not elementary
or free iodine in the form dissolved
in alcohol to make tincture of 10
dine, but iodine in chemical COM
binations called iodides. The in
ternaI secretion poured into the
blood constantly by the thyroid
gland in health is of the nature of
an iodide and acts physiologically
upon the functions of the body like
an iodide incidentally administered.
Good reason exists to support the
belief that the inclusion of sea fish

diet tends to prevent or cure simple

clan, states that goitre is due to an
