A TRADE RECORD

IT. HAT business has not all
VI gone to pot seems to be
pretty we'll attested by
the fact that exports from the
United States in the month of
January set up a new high rec
ord for any month in the his
tory of the country. The fig
ure is given at S623,000,000,
which compares with S613,-
000,0 in January two years
ago, which was the best pre-
vious month on record.
January's exports, therefore,
were about three times as large
as the normal January before
the war. incidentally imports,
although not at record figures,
were far and away above any
pre-war figures. Perhaps the
most significant feature of the
trade report is that the balance
of exports was S410,000,000, or
not far from the average for a
full year before the war.
And in the face of these fig
ures the leading men in the for
eign trade field say that the
foreign business is only in its
infancy, and that when the
world settles down to a peace
basis, the demand for our
goods will stimulate our do
mestic business to its, utmost
limits. 3 ~ st8 SO #aA

Recent Letters Descriptive of the Life of the Boys

Gently received an interesting Christ
mas letter from his son, Wyckoff A.

with the American expeditionary
forces, his section now being with the

was written Nov. "a and tells of in

ings in the battle areas. The letter
follows in part:

with the exception of the last four, and
even enjoyed a couple of baths (salt
water showers).
On our 10th day out we sighted a
submarine and our company ships, nine
in number, began manouvering and the
armed cruiser started for the sub, but
our boat was the first to fire and was
credited with sinking the sub, though
the cruiser fired several broad sides.

Heart and Beauty Problems
BY Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson

Dear Mrs. Thompson: We would
like your advice on some very diff
ficult matters. We are young lady
aged twenty-one and a young man of
the same age.
e CD When entering Ford car,
which, as you know, has only one door,
should the man get in first and let the
lady climb in herself, or should he
held her in and climb over her?
GU Is it correct to write personal
letters on Office stationery?
= CD We go to church together.
Should We both contribute to the col
lection? G. & c.
CD 1t is better for the man to get
in first and for the girl to get in after
ward. Women have ceased to be help
less and find it perfectly convenient to
climb into an automobile unassisted.
3 CD 1t is not correct to write per
sonal letters on Office stationery.
GO Either way is all right. Usually
the girl wants to contribute, too.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I was going
with a girl whom | liked very much.
After l had fallen in love with her she
asserted that she was engaged to an
other, but if for some reason he would

me and that she cared for me as a
brother and could do nothing else.
| know that he didn't marry her.
Would it be prop er for me to ask her
again after being treated as a brother?
CLOSE SHAVED.
Court the girl before you ask her to
marry you again. Call upon her and
take her places. When you have be-
come close friends, propose marriage
again. If you were to ask her now
without any preliminary courtship,
doubtless she would refuse you again.

full

times, but l do not know whether she
goes with any. one else or not. How

l love her very much. How shall

Since the girl has let you take hel

she likes you and would be glad tc
become further acquainted. Unless
she is engaged she is free to go with
you, too.
