BRAZIL OFFERS Big
MARKETS FOR U. S.

TRADE rs STILL GROWING

Brazil IL a market upon which Amer

keeping its eyes closely trained. accord
ing to T. Fred Aspden, vice-prssidsnt Of
the American Foreign Securities Cor
poration, which has opened a branch In
Rio de Janeiro to assist American mer-
chants. Mr.. .Aspden, predicts that Brasil
as a market for American goods will
loom prominently on the commercial
horizon as international trade conditions
shape themselves more clearly. He con-
tinued:
Changing conditions naturally
result In changing practices. The
war with it's increasing demands on
world industries In many ways has
resulted in making strange CONNER
cial bedfellows. Nations which here
tofore played small part IN world
commerce are forging to the front
to-day to important places in the
International economic structure Of
the future.
Brazil Is daily increasing In COM
mercial and economic Importance.
To-day she appears as a nation OF
Importance both In the import and
export feld--a nation whose COM
mercial goodwill and whose markets
hold excellent promises for tho flu
ture that American business men
and manufacturers would do well to
cultivate and develop.
Development Expected In Brazil
Brazil has emerged from the war
with her credit we'll maintained, her
Industries In excellent condition. her
shipping programme expanded, and
all things considered, everything
points to n wide economic and COM
! mercial development Of the country.
( Although the war brought on great
difficulties and responsibilities. at
the same time II presented great
possibilities to the country.
Chief among these. probably. IL
the extension OF Brazils shipping
programme. During the war a num-
Der of brazilian vessels mado regu-
! lar voyages IN Europe. and lucrative
: freights were carried in Brazilian
/ bottoms
"As a result Of her Increased ac-
tivities 1917 was the Reatest war
year for Brazirs advancement. and
3 conditions generally were better
than In any year since 1919 and
1914. Brazil's foreign trade bal
ance has been we'll maintained, with
4 yearly increasing preponderance
of exports.
Tho war. too. has resulted in a

steady growth OF new articles for
export. Chief among these have
been chilled beef, manganese ore,
rice, corn, oil. fruits, sugar. potatoes,
lumber and mandioca flour. They
are not entirely new in the export
trade, but only recently have they
been forging to the front in com
paratlve importance.
Living Costs Affect Country.
an common win almost every
other nation. Brazil liz struggling
under the burden OF the high cost of
living Prices of the necessities OF
life have naturally risen, owing
largely to increased exports. which
have depleted stocks for domestic
consumption, and to certain
amount of speculation. There Ia
small doubt, however, that prices
will be rsadJusted soon, with a gen.
erai tendency downward.
THE Brazilian Government. too,
Ia keeuly alive TO the necessity OF
public improvements. As n result,
construction OF better roads, extern
sion OF railroads and waterways
and engagements OF the telephone
and telegraph systems have been
undertaken on a large scale. This
cannot but result In material better
ment Of conditions generally and
enhance the opportunities for busi-
ness men entering the field.
'One OF the outstanding needs of
tho republic 10 n money order treaty
between the United States and
Brasil. The only method OF trans
hitting small sums to the United
States 10 by bank draft. and local
banks are reluctant to issue drafts
for small amounts and usually do
30 only as matter of accommoda-
ton TO customers.
The result of the participation
OF American capital In Brazil's in
dustries IL already beginning to bear
fruit. American capitalists have
been investing millions OF dollars
recently in modern meat packing
plants in that country. Present in
dications are that It is but Il aues-
ton OF n few years until Brazil will
be looked upon as one of the prin-
cipal sources OF tho worlds beef
supply.
Good Outlook for Future.
1T can be easily seen that the
future OF Brazil as an American
market 10 especially promising. Tho
way has been paved during the last
three years for American products
and Brasil Ia an eager market
AN analysis of the import trade
OF Brazil by countries of origin
shows that the United States main
tains the leading position 1t obtained
In 1915. In 1917 the United States
supplied $9s.722.602 OF Brazirs i'm
ports of a total OF s209,434.4S7. or
~ per cent. 1t will need but little
concentrat'osi by American business
men to retain their commercial pre-
ponderance IN Brazil even during
the period OF keen competition which
10 sure 10 come.
Brazil Is a growing country with
enormous resources still waiting to
be developed. The large returns will
naturally go to the business men OF
that nation which interests itself
more largely In that regard. The
needs of the markets are diverse and
hold large opportunities"

Quite apart from the unitarian mat

strong Sense of Idealism.

II must be admitted also that the
Peruvian Is a man of ideals. In the realm
in which his temperament finds, easiest
expression. He loves music and poetry.
I talked with a member of an old family
IN Lima. who was engaged In building
an opera house at the expense OF $4,000.
He Is equipping this building with every
modern device which would cater to the
incubation OF the love of music among
his countrymen. II Is the first attempt
OF the kind that has been known IN
Peru, and the man who Is spending his
time, his money and his enthusiasm upon
this undertaking said: IL do not ex-
pect this to be n paying venture. l am
not thinking Of the money side OF this
building. but IL Is my desire to do some
thing with my money to bring out and
TO maintain the strain of idealism in our
people"
The Peruvian men take off their hats
when meeting one another on the street,
and handshaking Is an omnipresent in
stltution. You may not be surprised to
have your host shake hands with you two
or three times. as a matter of course.
In business this emotional and en-
thusiastic temperament does not always
work for permanency. The foreigner
will say usually that he Ands the Pc
ruvian strong to begin new venture,
but that he does not hold out in the face
Of obstacles as does the Anglo-Saxon.
Theoretically he knows what to do and
cannot be surpa ssed In intelligent COM
prehenson OF the needs in 4 particular
case. but he fails to carry through
He lacks what Napoleon called 40

BROWN-EYED COLORADO GIRL
WANTS CAROLINA MILLIONAIRE
Governors Secretary Undertakes to
Find One for Her by Publishing
Her Urgent Appeal for Mate.

Columbia, October 13.-Any bald
headed, sentimental millionaire bache-
lor or widower who wants a pretty,
brown-eyed little darling to help him
spend his money and play sweet lul-
labies to him, has only to appI yto the
Office of the Governor of South Caro-
Ina to get the address OF q Western
fnaia who is just "dying" to commit
matrimony, providing there is plenty
Of coin in the Offering.
While there has been no ADVERTISE
ment to the effect that Governor
Cooper is heading matrimonial bu-
reau, yet Colorado girl evidently
thinks that he can put her in touch
with some South Carolina swain who
wants to be loved. The Governors
office received letter today post
marked Pueblo, Colo, in which a re-
quest is made to find pining maiden
of one of the best families of Col
orado," hclpmeet in the turbulent
battle of life.
The maid is easily satisfied; all she
wants is a chubby" she can love with
all her heart and who will love her
and can show one million dollars. In
her set of specifications she says that
any candidate that applies should be
fifty years of age. This is interpret
cd as gentle hint that she does not
want him to live too long; she pre-
fers to spend the million as "merry
widow"
Governor Cooper is in New Orleans
attending the World Cotton Confer
ence and his secretary, James G.. De-
rieux, is handling the matrimnnial end
OF the executive office. Mr.. Derieux,
however, has not had much experience
along matrimonial lines, as he has 30
far failed to annex to himself a wife.
In his desperation he called the capi-
tai newspaper men into consultation,
but they could not apply; the majority
OF them are married and all were pen
niless. However they suggested a
handsome scribe of the Piedmont sec
ton, whom they thought might be
interested. He is unmarried, but falls
under the age limit, and he has not
yet, so far as is known, amassed q
million "scads."
Mr.. Derieux requests the bachelors
OF the State, who will fall over each
others necks in an effort to capture
the Western peach, to apply to him

CHICAGO RACE RIOT
QUELLED BY POLICE;
TWODEAD, 50 HURT
Minor Outbreaks To-Day,
but Situation Is Reported
Well in Hand.

CHICAGO. July 4s.--Trouble be-
tween whites and negroes was re-
newed in Chicago's black belt to-day
when Moses Thomas. a negro. hred
several shots at a wagon load Of
white worlxmen being taken 70 a
South side factory. When an attempt
was made by whites to disarm
Thomas a dozen negroes rushed TO
his assistance. The police auelled the
disturbance ana reported that nobody
had been injured.
DIR. j. U. Turner, a negro city
Health Department officer. was at
tackled by I've white men on a south
side street. When his assailants saw
his star they fed. DR.. Turner chased
them and captured Henry Rosin,
nineteen years old, who was turned
over to the police and booked on a
charge Of assault.
Another disturbance reported to-
day was that Robert Reynolds and
George Martin. negro boys employed
as messengers by the Postal Tefe-
graph Company. who were attacked
by ten white men. The boys were
rescued by the police, but no arrests
were made.
The casualties resulting from the
outbreaks stand at two dead and so
injured. All OF Chicago's police re-
serves are on duty to-day to prevent
further disorder.
Accounts Of the origin OF the trouble
differ, but the version accepted by the
police to-day Is that the fighting
started at the 10Th Street bathing
beach, where the whites and colored
people are accustomed to swim In
Lake Michigan, although the two
races are separated by an imaginary
line.
This version OF the affair says that
a negro boy on a raft crossed the
boundary line and that white boys
threw stones, knocking the colored lad
into the water. He was drowned. A
general fight developed between the
races and riot calls brought hundreds
Of police into the colored district, the
centre Of which is around S1st Street
and state Street. more than a mile
from the beach. Negroes asked the
police To arrest a white boy. and when
they refused the negroes began to
beat the white lad.
Negro bathers from another beach
at 25th Street, attracted by the fght-
ing, came up in force, and soon stones
and clubs were hurled In all direc-
tions. many persons both white and
black being injured by the missiles.
TWO colored men who were shot at
18th Street, where one was killed,
are said 90 be seriously though not
fatally wounded.

OTHERS THAN CONSOLIDATED
OCCUPY BIG GAS BUILDING
Deputy Attorney General Chambers
Scores Point at the Eighty
Z Cent Hearing.

At the resumption OF the sO-cent gas
hearing to-day Deputy Attorney General
Chambers scored against the Consoli-
dated Gas Company by cross examlna-
tion OF one OF the company's own wit
nesses.
Herbert Alrich. an engineer for the
company. on direct examination con-
cerning the building properties Of the
company had testified that the 19-story
building at 18th Street and Irving Place
was owned and occupied by the Con-
solidated.
This testimony. II unchallenged, would
have been an important part OF the
company,!s showing of capital invest
ment and running expenses, and would
have supported. as far as Il went. II Is
said. the demand for n higher price for
gas. But Mr.. Chambers challenged.
On cross examination Aldrich admit
ted hat the building was not occupied
exclusively by the Consolidated. He ad-
mitted tina other enants were: The New
York Edison Company. the Mutual Gas
light Company, the New Amsterdam
Gas Company. the Standard Gasllght
Company. the United Electric Light and
Power Company and the Municipal
Lighting Company.
