American UtiIitors In Foreign Fields

American Utilitors In Foreign Fields American export trade Is growing i rapidly, according to commerce re ports reaching Washington. Enc 1 American manufacturer has adopted a new policy Instead of trying to force American goods made to meet American needs upon the foreign peo- pies, he is now studying foreign mar kets and endeavoring to supply ex- isting needs.
 Take the American automobile. At 1 first complaints were received from l Europe that American cars, with their i left hand controls were responsible l for many accidents. American man. ufacturers had overlooked the fact l that in some countries they keep to 1 the left". The change was made, and l last year our exports in motor vehi- l cles reached S166,000,000.
 The Department of Agriculture re- gently reported that American trac- tors, since they pull two, three and four blows, are too large for economi- cal operation on farms of less than 130 acres. This same dictum meant that American tractors were not
 
 where the farms are small and inten- sive farming is the rule. How did American manufacturers meet this situation?
 In an interview just puglished, Dr. D. H. Andreae, commercial attache of the Netherlands, said that more than 9S per cent of the farms of Holland are of less than 125 acres, while 72 per cent are from 2 to 25 acres. i"I have recently returned from a trip to the Middle West" said Dr. Andreae. "In Indianapolis I visited one of the factories that make utiIi- tors 1 am much interested in this small, one-plow utilitor and as soon as receive the catalogs and illustrat- ed material descriptive of this blowing machine, I will forward it to my gov ernment.
 These manufacturers of utilitors had studied foreign agricultural meth ods. They had learned the farms were small, and that the European farmer eultivates all tse fence ser- ners and close around the trees. They realized the necessity for q moderate priced machine that would do the work-that would blow, harrow, culti- vate and do any work that can be done by one horse, OK or mule, and do it better and cheaper.
 The same policy is being ad opted by other manufacturers. America is bet market than any other country to- day, and we are in a fair way to se- cure our share of the business, nov that American manufacturers are learning that all peoples do lot keep to the right.
 Bombing Wall Street
 The Wall Street explosion was an- other one of those murdereas ami aim less attacks which unthilkirg crilni- nals direct against their Government and society. Washington hil an ex perience last year when Attorney General Palmer's home was destroyed and on former occasion an attempt was made to destroy the Capitol Building with bomb.
 Such acts of lawlessness, while startling in the extreme, are of the same sort as are committed on smaller scale, by the criminal ele- ment in every community.
 It is the misfortune of society that iu falls the victim of such dastardly at- tacks. But in Washington there is nothing in the occurrence that is in- terpreted to indicate any weakness in the Government itself, or any disturb ing social condition growing out of the turmoil of the war. The affair stands out as spectacular crime; nevertheless the ordinary methods of investigation, pursuit and punishment are being applied to the handling of the emergency growing out of the bombing of Wall Street, and the kill ing and maiming of several hundred working people.
 Plenty Of Money Credits In Country
 The United States Treasury has been having something to say about the extension of credit by the Gov ernment. Now that the Federal Re- serve Banks operate like clock-work, the finances of the country are regu- lated in Washington, and the old bo- gie of the private banking power" is deads The Treasury statements ex- plain that there is plenty of money for every legitimate purpose in all parts of the country. Much of the popular clamor for more credit comes from spectators and persons desiring to hold their goods for higher prices. Secretary Houston says that the Gov eInment could hardly aid in withhold ing commodities from the markets by extension of credit, without being a party to a conspiracy in restraint of trade and making more secure high price levels" Credit expansion recently has geen ample, the Secre- tary said, to provide for the move ment of crops, and the general ten dency has been more toward expan- sion than restriction.
 Gas And The Gas Man
 Gas-making oils that for twenty or more years have been procurable at prices ranging from two and one-half
