AMEMcA IND NE WORLD.

- ERHAPS the clearest and most Straightforward state
ment of the position of this country in the world as
the great left it contained the August number oi
Commerce Monthly financial and commercial periodical
issued by the National Bank Of Commerce New York In
a monthly discussion of business conditions Commerce
Monthly says:
The period of our industrial isolation is as
completely behind as is the period of our po-
litical isolation. Our industries expand
ed and speeded up during four years of war in
order to supply not only our own market but
also to meet share OF the worlds demands.
1t is inevitable that the high level OF war ex-
ports will not be maintained. decline from
that level Is desirable, but return to the pre-
basis would result in serious Industrial
disturbance. We have SURPRISES to sell. Eu-
rope needs commodities and way must
be found to finance those purchases credit.
Such credit whatever the financial machn-
cry set IN motion, must eventually be based on
the savings Of the American people.
The domestic consumer inevitably will ask
why he should curta his consumption in
der to assist the consumers of other nations to
buy credits he has helped to extend. The
answer is that enormous destruction of the
worlds actual and potential capital has taken
place during the last four years. Although that
destruction took place in Europe economically
considered the world is a unit, and
vitality interested in the replacement of that
capital. If the American consumer believes he
may with impunity continue in unrestricted
consumption and escape feeling the effects of
the shortage of the worlds capital, he is in
grievous error.
In other words, for the first time in our history
absolutely dependent upon foreign trade for assurance Of
our continued prosperity And we cannot be dependent
upon world markets without having vital interest in world
conditions Our far seeing statesmen and economists have
seen this day coming for many years. and it is condition
which the folks who continue be dominated by belief in
entire isolation must face.
Whether we like it or not we are rrevocably involved in
the affairs of Europe, of Asia, of Africa completely
we are involved in the affairs of this hemisphere The cir
cumstances of our entrance upon this phase of
onal existence have given leadership those affairs. II
We are at all wise we will she'd forever the small clothes Of
our provnciasm and not only maintain but increase that
leadership.

BETTER THAN ELECTRIC FAN
Punkah System Said to Have Advan.
tages Not Possessed by Its More
Modern Competitor.

Electric current for fans is not gen.
orally available in Alden, Arabia, and
the old-fashiOned punkah system Is
the only relief from the almost I'M
bearable heat and closeness OF the at
mOsphere which prevails at certain
seasons of the year. A punkah is
large ceiling fan operated by a coOlle
who pulls rope attached TO 1t. This
rope generally passes over a small pull
ley through hole In the wall SO that
the coOlie may work unseen by those
In the room to be ventilated.
Often series of fans is operated
by one cOolie, this system prevailing
In hotels, clubs and other places where
there Is large space to be cooled.
The actual cooling effect Is usually
considered more satisfactory than that
Of an electrically operated fan in the
respect that the air currents are more
gentle and much more evenly distrib-
uted.
A punkah walla, as the coolie who
operates IL is called, receives in Alden
an average wage OF $3.50 a month for
working from eight to nine hours a
day. However. during the hot season,
when IL is desirable TO have the pun
ksh In operation night and day, a
force o. three punkah wallas. working
eight hours each. is necessary.

LARGE Market for Rabbit skins.

There is q market for rabbit skins.
Before the recent war an enormous
trade was carried on abroad. 1t is said
that Great Britain and Ireland alone
pl Oduced about thirty million skins an
nually. Most rabbit skins are sold in
bales, by weight. the fur from them
being used for telling purposes, and
the skins for making glue. The war
interrupted the impOrtations from Eu-
'ope and Australia to such an extent
that the price has greatly increased.
The better skins are sold by the dozen.
When dressed they become the "cony"
of the fur trade, often sold under fam
ciful names. American breeders are
raising all kinds of rabbits that pro-
duce the best "cony" OF the fur shops.

HAS GOOD WORD FOR SNAKE
New Yorker Points Out How Unpopu.
lar Reptile Aids the Farmer in
Growing Crops.

The pretensiOns Of the snake, as a
advanced by Allen B. Williams, presi-
dent Of the Reptile Society of Amer
lea. at New York.
The society, of which Mr.. Williams
Is the head, middle and end, has I'M
dertaken campaign Of education on
behalf Of the snake, claiming that as
destroyer of rodents and other small
pests on the farm he Is the friend ands
benefactOr Of man. For the poison
bearing snakes Mr.. Williams holds no
their obllteration from the earth; but
Of the nOnpoisonOus ones he had this
to say at the banquet while you could
have heard pin drop:
ITO the lay mind, the idea of the
black or the garter or any one of
thousand varieties of harmless snakes
being Of any service to mankind may
appear preposterOus and unworthy OF
discussion. But the facts are other
wise. The snake has a very inpor-
tuht UcdlllS OH the QutSllOu VI iOOu
production. a matter which, even since
the signing of the armistice, grows
more important daily. The snake Is
the great small-pest destroyer of the
American farm. Every person who
kills nonpOisOnOus snake might just
as well destroy one hundred times the
snakes weight In wheat"
Mr.. Williams proposes that the value
az the snake be taught hereafter in the
farm schools and agricultural colleges
and says he intends TO become the edi-
tor Of publication devoted to snake
conservation and culture. He advO-
Gated the Introduction of small snake
or two into every household in the
land, saying that the snake, contrary
to popular belief made an ideal house
hold pet, and In the course of every
year represented many times over a
saving of his weight In mousetraps.

He was little old man, clad In the

from the canteen information booth at

Red Cross women had checked the
baggage of group Of men just back

the desk and thrusting his arm quickly
forward, laid $50 bill In the hand of
one of the attendants.
