VHE photoplay, whether you
call it movie" or by the
high and dignified
term Cinema" has beyond
question firmly established
itself as a complement 10 what the
writer's of "the drama are pleased to
call "the legitimate stage" 1t has
not come 10 replace the legitimate
stage, nor is it to be belittled either
as an art or as an industry. That it
is entitled to a place of high rank as
both cannot be questioned. That it
affords entertainment to thousands,
even to millions, who cannot afford
the theater in it's fullest development
is equally true.
In many respects, especially in
scenic effect. the opportunities and
accomplishment of the photoplay are
probably greater than those OF the
stage. Actors and actresses who
have won d high place in their pro-
Afession have admittedly failed in the
smoving picture, and, on the other
hand, film stars whose scintillatiOns
are the delgh of the cinema world
have not met with the success in
achieved in the pictures. There is no
doubt that the picture requires the
manifestation OF an art which has re-
ceived less attention at the hands of
players on the spoken stage than is
given by the motion picture player
who has been successful in the films.
The eve more quickly catches a move,
a look or an act that thrills when
attracted ny the ffeeting picture than
when given on the stage, and the
slight blunder that might easily be
overlooked and forgotten on the lat
ter becomes fixed and permanent evil
dence in the picture.

There are so many points worthy of
interest in both the pictured and the

FOREIGN TRADE RECORD.

Exports of manufactures from the United States since the close Of the war show large gains in both quant1- ties and values when compared with those of the corresponding period preceding the war. A compilation by The National City Bank of New York comparing exportation of manufac- lures from the United States in the two months following the close of the war with the corresponding months preceding the war shows that the quantities of the various classes showed large gains In nearly all cases. The two full months following the war for which details of exports are now available are December, 1918, and January. 1919, and a com parison of the quantities exported in approxi-
 nately 100 representative articles of manufactures develops the fact that 70 of the 100 showed large increases in quantity over those of the Corre- spending months preceding the war, December, 1913, and January, 1914.
 While the official records of the government show that the aggregate value of all manufactures exported has a larger total in each month since the war than in the corresponding months preceding the war, the fact that Sfszsas per unit of quantity are now much higher than in pre-war times rendered impossible a. definite deter imitation as to whether this increase in the grand total of all exports of manufactures really represented any marked Increase in quantities passing out of the country. The comparison made by the City Banks tabulation, however, shows actual quantities eX- ported in approximately 100 principal articles and compares the quantities of the after-war period with the quantities exported of the same articles in the corresponding period immediately preceding the war.
 The banks compilation includes practically all important manufac- lures in which the quantities exported are shown by the governmental fig ures of exports and in many of these the increase of quantity exported in the after-war period is very large, and as above indicated TO of the 100 show greater or less increases in quantity when compared with the correspond ing months immediately preceding the war. In cotton cloths, for example, the quantity exported in the months of December. 1918, and January, 1919, aggregates 1o6,755,0 900 yards against 2s,7T3,OoO yards in December. 1913, and January, 1914; in electric lamps the number in 1s19-1919 period is 3,794,S91 against only 368,114 in the corresponding pre-war period; in plate glass the quantity in the 1918- 1919 period is 1,7O1,O00 square feet against but 6,546 square feet in the 1013-1914 period; of rubber boots the number exported in the two months since the war was 37,884 pairs against 17,167 pairs in the corresponding pre- war period. Boots and shoes of leather also show large gains in the number

of pairs, mems boots and shoes hav- ing been in 1918-1919 period, 1,553,- 97S against 69O,176 pairs in the cor responding months preceding the war, while of women's and children's shoes there was also a, large gain.
 In iron and steel there is a very large increase in the quantities ex- ported. Pig iron in the months of December, 1918. and January, 1919, aggregated 61, ,334 tons against 38,294 tons in the corresponding Dre-war months; bar iron, 45,915,00O pounds against 2,292, 1000; steel bars and rods 214,331, ,OOO pounds against 73, ,342,OO0; steel billets, 75,4S4 tons against 5,O46 tons in the corresponding months of 1913-1914; wire nails, 28,232,0O0 pounds against 13,2O3,0O pounds in the pre-war period; steel rails, 11O,- 900 tons against 4O,138; steel plates 296,O12, 900 pounds against 45,384.000; galva nized sheets, 24,015, ,00O pounds against 19,983,OOO; and tin plates, 98, 65O, ,OOO pounds against 13,322, 900 pounds in the corresponding period preceding the war, the months of De- cember, 1913, and January, 1914.
 Practically all classes of mineral oil show advances in the quantities as well as the value in the after-war period and this is also true of cig- arettes and tobacco, printing and other paper, candles, sugar, parafiin, paints, woOdpulp, sole leather, pianos, locomotives, cement, sulphate of cop- per, cordage, automobiles motor cycles and many other manufactured articles.
 The total value of all manufactures exported from the United States for the months of December, 1918, and January, and February, 1919. aggre- gates S790, ,0OO, while that for the months of December, 1913, and Janu- ary and February, 1914. aggregates but $257,000.000, and while this grand total of all manufa cures exported in cludes many articles for which quan- titles cannot be shown, it is quite ap- parent from the banks compilation Of those articles for which quantities are stated that there is a large actual in crease, thus apparently justifying the

FARMERS TO TEST LIME.

Some fortys or fifty farmers in Connecticut will get a chance this spring to apply lime to their farms at the expense of the Lime AssoCia- ton, a national organization. The association proposes to make tests of the value of lime on six or seven farms in each county in Connecticut and will supply the lime free, Set down at the farmer's railroad sta- ton.
 The proposition was made by the Lime Association, with headquarters at Washington, D. C., through Henry Dorsey, agronomist for the E1Xten- sion Service of Connecticut Agr1- cultural College at Storrs. Mir. Dor sey has arranged to handle the mat ter through the various county farm bureaus.
 Any farmer desiring to take ad- vantage of this offer should get in touch with his county agent and make application for the lime. Enough lime will be supplied to treat three or four acres on each farm. It is to be part of the agreement that the farmer shall leave a check plot of the same crops untreated with lime. At harvest the farmer is to weigh or measure the crops from the un- treated and from the treated plots
 By this plan the Lime Association hopes to get results on the use of lime comparable to the tests made by experiment stations. The farmer will get the use of a considerable quantity of free lime and will be in a position to decide for himself whether lining pays on his own farm.
