Pianos From CHICAGO.

Chicago is the largest piano pro
ducing centre in the world, turning
out annually more than 100000 in
struments. which are shipped all
over the world Manila alone, within
tno last two years, has taken over
HOO pianos. Mexico, until the
troubles overlook that republic, took
more than 5000 pianos annually
from Chicago, and Central and South
America, especially the Argentine
Republic, have been great consumers
of Chicago pianos.
Up to few years ago Germany
sent all the instruments that were
shipped to these countries. But the
German woods in the cases would hot
stand the climates. 1t was MilWaU-
ioe that first discovered this and
s@nt trade emissa,res to the far
away lands. Within a few years
Chicago has built up a large er-
port trade In this line What holds
good Of the piano also holds good of
band instruments.
Chicago sells, approximately, l00-
600 pianos a year. aggregating in va
lue about $4,000 900, which Is about
onethird Of the entire product OF the
nation. -Chicago Tribune

Paris, March 26 Correspondence of the Associated Press. --"W hile clothes so expensive l am not go- ing 10 indulge in the luxury of a new overcoat just because & fool shot a few holes in my old coat" Premier Clemenceau is reported to have said
 The Tigers jacket and oVercoat, both showing bullet holes were pieces of evidence that had to be pro duced at the trial of his would-be murderer, Emile COttin. M Clemen- Ccau, however, happens to be fond of those ga arm ents and he asked M Ig- mace, under secretary of state for war, to let him have them back quickly. NJ. lgnace replied In tones of gentle re- proof that the articles were in the hands of the justicisry and that under the rules it would be quite impossible to part with them until the case was past the appeal stage. Then M Clemerceau, who is an enemy to red tape, did what in French Is described as an "effiCaciOuS act" the nature of which is not specified but may be sur missed. His garments came back the Sanc day.
 The French are a thrifty race, and are expert clothes menders. The bull let holes can be stopped" so as to defy detection and the coat will be s good as eyer. That is NT Clcmen- ceauS opinion.

ARMY GAINED 1S,OOO TONS
 IN WEIGHT WHILE ABROAD

The American army Is coming back 10 these shores 1S,00O tons huskier than when it sailed overseas. accord to the April number Of the Red Cross Magazine. which reveals, in an article on Housekeeping in Khaki" why re- turning doughboys literally burst out of the clothing they left at home. The average increase in weight in the American army was twelve pounds to man. This is due in very large measure of course, to the seemingly limitless flow Of wholesome foods into the training camps and to France.
 Secretary Baker is proud of this record,", says the writer, David M Hayes. This war, he tells us, has Ncen the healthiest in history. The est he applies is the number of deaths from disease. The best previous rec ord. twenty-five per thousand per year, was attained by the Germans in the l'ranco-Prussian war. Our rec ord in this war was only eight per thou@and per year. Now whose is the credit for this cm barra Ssing state of health among our troops? AnsWer:- Larsely the good housekeeping of our army"

OBSTACLES ARISE
 IN BOSTON PARADE
Transportation From Camp Dcvcns Not Adequate to Handle Many
 Men In One Day.

Washington, April 2.-The war de- pa artment, Secretary Baker announces, cannot undertake to order the 40 per cent. of the 18th division who do not live in New England to Boston to march in a parade of the entire divi- sion.
 Still another obstacle to the Boston parade was said to have arisen. Elk animation of the rail connections from Camp DeNens to Boston has disclosed that not more than a bIi- gade of men a day can be trans ported without completely crippling the transportation system. Tt is be- lievcd, however. that some way to overcome the difficulty will be de vised and Boston will see the neces- sary troops in a final review.
 A computation of the cost to the government of the recent New York parade of the 27th division incIud- ing the pax and sustanance of the men alone for the period they were held in the Sorvi"r in order to par 1icjpatc shows an expenditure of nearly $921.O00 The department, however, was said to be not so much interested in tho cost as in the fact that tho debarkHtion machinery was cIoggcd up and is still feeling the strain. Al one time there were no aCCOmm OhatiOnS for the troops aboard four arriving steamer due 10 the holding of tho units of the 27th division for the parade and the resulting blocking Of domobilization machinery.
 Officers said this situation was marked in the ease of the 26th or New England division. Only 60 per cent of thc division in the present status of it's personnel is to he 1c- mohilizod al Camp Devcns, the near
