BUSINESS WITH
MEXICO SHOWS
UPWARD TREND

MEXICO CITY. - Despite condi-
| tons popularity regarded in the Unit
ed States as uninviting TO American
trade expansion here, business be
tween that country and Mexico
shows a decided upward trend. Dur
ling the fiscal year just closed, i'm
ports and exports between the two
republics amounted to more than
531 100000 pesos, according to fig
Iures given The Associated Press by
W. F. Saunders, secretary of the
American Chamber of Commerce in
Mexico City.
Of this amount, 376,000.00 pesos
represents exports from Mexico, and
I164, 100000 pesos represents i'm
ports. Previous to the current ifs
lcal year. the banner period of Mex
!ican-U United States business was in
1911, when 102,O00,000 pesos
worth of goods were exported from
Mexico and 146 100000 pesos worth
were imported
"Deducting amounts representing
petroleum expectations. which are
mot considered in the ordinary run
of commercial business. and for in
creased values of goods these fig
ures indicate clearly that trade is
increasing said Mr.. Saunders.
Mexico will spend more than $780,
100000 in the United States during
the year 1919, with imports of hard
ware, machinery. drugs, and dry
goods leading all others. During
the month Of August we received
more than 700 letters from firms
who intimated intentions of estab-
fishing branches here
The end of the war has brought
sharp competition for Mexican bust
ness. 1t is interesting to note in
this connection that sentiment is
giving way to sound BUSINESS in
dealing with the Germans. 1t will
| be remembered that during the war
referendum vote OF chamber of
commerce members favored com
mercial boycott of Germany after
the war. This has been forgotten
here and German firms, who are
conceded to have the frmest hold
on the hardware business in the re-
public, are buying practically all Of
their supplies from American deal
ers. japanese competition is neg
iligible. b..
A strenuous effort is being made
to stabilize transportation conditions,
which present the most serious OBJ
tacles to trading. Congestion of
freight at Neuvo Laredo for trans
mission to Mexico City still exists,
but within the past few weeks ar
engagements have been made by
three concerns here for the opera
ton of especial freights" between
the two points. A new steamship
line between Vera Cruz and New
Orleans will also open for business

PREVENT CUBA FROM BEING A
 MONTE CARLO
This Announcement Draws Sharp Comment From
 That Country.

Havana, Dec, 13-Plans of the in-
 terchurch world movement for a
 campaign to prevent Cuba from be-
 coming the Monte Carlo of the west
 ern world" announced recently in
 New York, have excited widespread
 interest here and drawn sharp edi-
 torial retorts from the newspa pers,
 The general tenor of opinion appears
 to be that ga n1bling conditions are no
 worse in Cuba than in the United
 States and that the only liquor prob
 lenl'' the island faces is that which
 may be imported" with visitors from
 states recently gone dry"
 Betting Is allowed here on horse
 races, basque ball Cknown as ''jai
 alai") and other sports, but it is de-
 nied that roulette or other gambling
 hall games are played to the extent
 suggested in the announcement of the
 Interchurch World Movement plan by
 Guy g. Inman, secretary of the Inter Demoniational Committee of the
 Churches on cooperation in Latin America,
 Commenting editorially on the in tended campaign, the Havana Post, an English language newspaper, says: We would modestly remind the InterChurch World Movement and pr. Inman, that the president of the JLllSu states long S1lC6 elunC1aCeC the supreme principle of self deter mination,' and if Cuba, which has never found herself the worse for liquor, insists on continuing her mod crate indulgence of Centuries-and we would remind pr. InInan that Havana was city long before any American city was invented and does not need instruction in the use of liquor or treatment of visitors within her gates and claims her right of self deter imitation, so far as drinking is con cerned, she has proven her right to be let alone. If her guest from the north shall abuse her hospitality and
 try to drink in one day the rum that a Cuban would spread over a, week she will feel very sorry, but will not kick him out She may undertake his board and lodging for a week or two until he has paid or worked out his fine, but she will not kick him out
 She won't let him play roulette. but he can just as easily rid himself of his money, or add to 1t, by betting on the races or baseball games" ''They are going to lose their
 time,' says Fl Diario Della Marina, if they imagine that a. campaign which has for it's purpose legal pro- hibition of the sale of liquors will prosper in Cuba First, because country producing millions of tons of | sugar necessarily must produce also | millions of quarts of alcohol; sec l ond because liquor is one of the
 sources of Cuba's riches, destined to 1 develop immensely, and third. because 1 Cubans are not drunkards. Among l us court cases for drunkenness have 1 always been few. With prohibition
 in the United States and liberty here, 1 such cases are more frequent in a ] single American police court than in the four correctional courts of Ha- 1 vana.''

URGES THRIFT TO
 END UNREST IN N. E,
Lewis Says People Should In vest Savings in Governmen Securities.

If the people of New England and the rest of the country arc to lend their aid in shortening the present economic crisis this country is now passing through they must be more thrifty ir their every day living and helr put a stop to the orgy of spend ing that is now sweeping this country. This is the belief of William Mather Lewis, director of Savings, Treasury Depart ment.
 Gov Criticism, Would Disappear.
 MT. Lewis is also firmly convinced that much of the unjust criticism now being hurled against this government would rightly disappear if the people world take more interest in their government and invest their savings in such safe securities as Thrift Stamps, War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates.
 He explains that the partnership in the government 50 established would naturally make them more interested in government affairs, and would cer- tainly act to counteract much of the BolsheVick propaganda now being fpread throughout this country. The man who owns a $50 or S1O0 share in his government, says MT. Lewis will not be eager to try t0 overthrow it. At the present time if we were to get the people to save ten percent of what they earn today prof1teers could be put out of business in a year
 MT. Lewis believes that the un- rest in the United States today Is mainly bred by people who own no property or who have sav-d nothing.
 If the people of New England and the rest of the country will lend their aid to the National Thrift Cam paign and observe the three great points of this movement, careful buy ing, regular saving and sensible in vestment, the present period of re- construction will be much shortened

YOST ADVOCATES FEW CHANGES IN
 FOOTBALL RULES

Chicago, Dec. 13 = Changes that will, he says, go far toward bringing about uniform interpretation of foot ball rules, some of which only few coaches, officials and players now agree on, will be suggested to the meeting this winter of, the rules com miteee by Fielding N. Yost, coach of the University of Michigan since 1901, it became known today. The propos- ed notifications would in no way af- feet the play, according to Coach Yost.
 It is not the spirit of the rules to take away touchdowns by lnf1icting penalties for fouls which had no bearing on the play, the Michigan mentor holds In line with that idea he believes that the rules imposing 10 yard penalties for "cIipping," or running into an opponent after the ball has been declared dead, and for crawling should bee hanged to apply the punishment in such manner that loss of a touchdown, if one had been made would not be caused by bring ing the ball back to where it was put in play and measuring the distance from that point.
 Coach Yost also favors strongly a penalty being levied against a team that is not on the field ready to play at the hour for the game to start. He cites the rule penalizing a team for failure to report promptly at the time for starting the third quarter
 The 15-yard penalty for attacking a runner when he has gone. out ot bounds should be inflicted from the point where the ball was carried across the side lines instead of where it was. snapped back, in the opinion of Yost.

DEMAND FOR RABBIT MEAT
 OFFERS PROFIT TO RAISER
With Adequately Developed Demand, Rabbit Growing Presents Opportunity to Increase Income7-European
 Record Shows Possibilities in This Country

instead of poultry and reports the meat more satisfactory than chicken, and also a most profitable product. On a farm in Washington, rabbits were grown to provide for the county hospitals, furnishing a substitute for chicken.
 Europeans Eat Many Rabbits.
 Further evidence of the marketing possibilities in rabbit raising are to be found in the experience of France and Belgium and other European countries. In the greater part of Europe, except the most northerly part, rabbit breeding was an indus try of considerable importance before the war. About 100, 900, 1000 rabbits were marketed annually in France. Approximately 100000 were raised in Belgium per year for home con- sumption and export. The value of rabbits annually exported from Os- tend to England exceeded 1,OOO,- 900, while, including wild hares raised in English game preserves, England itself was producing from
 3O,00O,O00 to 40.O0O,OOO rabbits. The consumption in one year before the war in London amounted to half a million pounds daily and in Paris to 10000 pounds. What has been done in the way of developing a market TOT rdDDll meat Tn these countries indicates clearly the large possibili- ties for progressive growers in the United States. The shortage of meat should be made highly profitable to the rabbit grower.
 Another economic phase of the question is indicated by the fact that meat produced at or near home saves freight and several profits. The ex- ample of European breeders in America alike indicate that the util- 1 ity rabbit, particularly if grown near , the market, can be made a large factor in solving the meat problem. to the mutual profit of consumers as well as producers. There are seven breeds of rabbit which come under the designation of utility ami ! mals. They are comprised in three types, represented by the so-called Giants, the Belgian hares, and the New Zealand rabbits.
 Feeding Problem Simple.
 The problem of feeding the rabbits
 is relatively simple. In every garden | there is feed that is apt to be wasted | unless given to the rabbits. Dande- l lions are pest in lawns but they are 1 excellent to feed, with alfalfa and 1 clover and oats or other grain, as aI- i so are leaves of the Burdock, yellow 1 dock, and other weeds and prunings from apple and cherry trees. The
 contraction of proper housing for 1 these animals is relatively simple. 1 The United States Department of Az
 riculture is prepared to furnish ad- i vice on the breeding and marketing i of rabbits and to offer practical sug
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-12-13

For many year rabbits have been raised In this country as pets and as fancy stock for competitive eXhibi- tions, but now 1t has become profita-
 ble for many living m the country and even city dweIIers, to raise these animals for the food market. Until war and postwar prsces set everyone
 thinking about the food problem, there had been no real incentive to
 breed rabits for practical ends, as
 they were not actually needed for
 food, and better fur than theirs could
 be had for little money. However,
 the great change in economic condi-
 tions has materially altered their
 status.
 The general introduction of any kind
 of a food product is dependent upon
 the pubIic's familiarity with that pro-
 duct. American people in general
 have learned something of the value
 of rabbit meat through the rather
 general use of wild rabbits, which
 were hunted and trapped by farmers
 and sportsmen and others in almost
 rabbits do not have the gamy flavor
 of wild rabbits, their flesh being practically indistinguishable by taste from that of chicken.
 Because of the well-rem em bered Belgian hare boom which took place some years ago, there is considerable disinclination on the part of many to
 undertake rabbit raising for profit. Experiments along this line in the past should not be confused with rob- bit raising as now advocated by the United States Departme ent of Agricul- ture. The Belgian hare boom spread "a pidly for a time and continued as long as there was a demand for breeding stock, but when this demand was changed to a meat basis the boom collapsed, as there was then no real need for a new source of meat.
 | Demand for Rabbit Meat. Experience in more recent years ] has proved, however, that rabbit
 raising for the purpose of supplying i the meat trade is profitable. City | and suburban dwellers are raising i rabbits in backwards. Although the
 total production is as yet compara- 1 lively small, it is steadily increasing g 1 In such scattered sections of the | country California, Washington, | Colorado, Kansas, and Missouri, the domesticated rabbit is recognized as I a regular meat animal. Rabbits are | shipped alive to market in crates or are neatly dressed ready for cooking l and are packed in a sanitary manner | for transportation
 There are numerous instances of | profitable rabbit raising. A resident | in Kansas City, has raised 300 to 400 pounds of rabbit meat for use on his own table, at a cost of about-half the i present meat prices. A large insti4 A -ution in Nebraska has raised rabbits

GIRLS BUY $500 FUR COATS
 ONSALARY OF $l5 A WEEK
Extravagant Spending on Part of Thought
 less People is Boosting the HC.L.

In these days when every thinking person from President Wilson down, is advocating that the people of this country be as thrifty as possible in their very day living, the fact comes to light that many young people who have incomes sometimes as low as $15.00 per week are spend ing their money foolishly and ex- travagantly for unneeded lux urieS.
 Four Years to Pay for Coats
 It was in Hartford, Connecticut, that a woman representative of one Of the stores reported that she took orders for 250 fur coats from girl employees of one insurance company on a dollar a week basis. These coats cost from $125 to $500 and in this insurance office they were pur- chased by girls earning probably s150O a week or less. Some of the girls will be paying on their fur coats for three or four years. By such reckless extravaganza as this the prices of luxuries are made to soar and to some extent the prices of ne cessities.
 If these girls had been more con sfderate in their spending, and had thereby saved part of their income and placed it in such securities as War Savings Ste-ps @ Treasury Savings Certificates, it would not only help them, but it would tend to reduce the present high cost of nv- ing in this country
 Leading fnanciers have brougb' out the fact that if the present eco homie crisis this country is now pass ing through is to be shortened in duration. the people must be more thrifty in their everyday living
