Good Evening
BY Roy X. Moulton
A SIGN.

A SIGN.
Out in the town Of Flushing,
A favorite town Of mine,
There hangs in the July desert
A very disturbing sign.
There isn't a breeze to stir tt
1t hangs in the deadly heat
While am a scorching rib roast,
And frazzled from head to feet.
1t hangs as a hooking torture
To bark Of the days gone by.
If somebody doesn't remove it,
Somebody's going to die.
l hate that licentieus slogan.
1t says, with Sinking leer,
To all the perspiring public:
"Ice-Cold Lager Beer"

"A veil and rope of pearls"
She was less afraid of taking cold
Than lots Of other girls.

SETS FIRE PREVENTION DAY
President Urges General Observance
by the Public on Saturday,
October o.

Washington. Wilson. In a
proclamation, urged state governors to
set apart Saturday, October y, as fire
prevention day, and to request gen.
eral observance by the public.
The need for bringing before the
people the serious and unhappy eff.
fects of the present unnecessary fire
waste and the need of their individual
and collective effort in conserving the
natural and created resources OF Amer
ica," was said by the president in his
proclamation to be especially urgent
for the following reasons:
"The destruction by fire in the
United States involves an annual loss
OF life Of $4,000 men, women and chill.
dren and over 100000 in buildings,
foodstuffs and other created resources.
"The need of the civilized world for
American products to replace the raw
ages of the great war is especially
great at this time.
"The present serious shortage of
homes and business structures makes
the daily destruction Of buildings by
fire an especially serious matter.
"A large percentage Of the fires
causing the annual American fire
waste may be easily prevented by in
creased care and vigilance on the part
OF citizens"

EXPORTS GROW By
LEAPS AND BOUNDS
MAY REACH OVER FOUR BILLION
DOLLARS BY THE END OF
THIS YEAR.
QUANTITIES. OF FOOD STUFFs
Much Food to Europe-Manufactured
Articles Form Bulk Of Exports to
Asia, Africa and South
America.

Washington.-The export Of manu-.
featured articles from the United
States is increasing in leaps and
bounds, in spite of the decrease In total
exports, according to figures made pub
lie here. In July of this year they were
$S4S, 900, or $11, 100000 per day, as
opposed to 1924, 900, 900, or $9,SSS, 900
per day for July of last year.
Exports OF manufactured articles
are divided into two groups, of which
the greater is manufactured ready
for use." They aggregated $264, OOO,-
O0O this July, as against $167 100000
: I'd July, 1917. =
'Is Manufactured articles form the bulk
iof our exports TO Asia, Africa, oceana
and North and South American coun-
. tries Vast quantities of foodstuffs
but only a comparatively small per.
centage OF manufactures go to Eu-
rope. 1t is Of the utmost significance
therefore that while exports 10 Europe
fell off, those to the five grand di-
Visions mentioned above practically
doubled in 1920 over 1919.
SSThe total value of all exports in
the five grand divisions in July, 1920,
was 1910 10000 as against $164,000,-
900 in July of the preceding year,
while exports to Europe, where man.
ufactures form a comparatively small
part of our exports, were valued at
only $341, 100000 in 1920, against
34O4, 100000 in July of last year.
The expectation In the dull month
OF July, of an average Of 81, 900, 900
day of manufactures, makes it quite
apparent that our total exports of
manufactures in the calendar year
1890 will considerably exceed $4,000,
$1,000, against little over $1,000
10000 in the calendar year immedi-
ately preceding the war in 1913.
Manufactures formed so per cent of
the total exports in the seven months
ended with July of the current year
and about SO per cent in the me 4 of
July, as against AZ per cent in July Of
last year. Should the exports con-
tinue during the remainder of the
calendar year at the average daily |
rate recorded down to the end Of July, |
the total value Of manufactures export
ed would be $4,000, 000, 900, against ST.
177,0O0,D00 in the calendar year 1918.

CUSTOMS Of GUAM
Islands inhabitants Retain Prim-
tive Manners.
Happy and Careless, Vet With a
Sense Of Industry and Thrift
Farms, as a Rule, Guilt
waited by the Family.


The increasing commercial Impor-
lance of Guam is illustrated In a re-
cent visit Of the postmaster. Of Guam,
principal city Of our smallest posses
sion. to the United States in behalf Of
better postal service for the island.
Curious customs and natural re-
sources OF Guam are described In
National Geographic society bulletin
as follows:
"The fruit of the common tree (Bar-
ringtonia speciosa) the natives use to
stupefy fish.
THE fruit is pounded into a paste,
Enclosed In a bag and kept over night.
The time Of an especially low tide is
selected, and bags Of the pounded
fruit are taken out on the reef next
morning and sunk In certain deep holes
in the reef. The fish soon appear
on the surface, some of them life
less, others attempting to swim, or
family struggling with their ventral
side uppermost. The natives scoop
them in their hands, sometimes even
diving for them.
I'm the mangrove swamps when the
tide Is low, hundreds of little fishes
with protrudlng eyes may be seen hop
ping about IN the mud and climbing
among the roots Of the Rhixophora
and Bruglera. These belong to
group of fishes interesting from the
fact that their air bladder has as
sumed In measure the function Of
lungs, enabling the animal to breathe
atmospheric air
Men, women and children Of Guam
are expert swimmers. and are as much
at ease In the water as on land. As
they throw themselves into the sea and
come bounding from wave to wave
they remind one Of dOlphins.
According to the testimony of early
writer's, their houses we're high and
neatly made and better constructed
than those Of any aboriginal race hith-
erto discovered in the Indies.
'They are happy, careless peo-
Pile, fond Of festivities, dancing, sing
ing, storytelling and contests of
strength and skin, yet sufficiently In
dnstrious to cultivate their fields and
garden patches, build excellent houses
for their families, braid mats of fine
texture and construct canoes which
were the admiration of all the early
They were much given
to buftoonery, mockery. playing tricks,
testing, mimicry and ridicule, offering
in this respect striking contrast to
the undemonstrative Malayans.
"The natives Of Guam are, as a
rule, of good physique and pleasing
Owing to their mixed
blood. their complexion varies from
the white Of Caucasian to the brown
Of Malay. Most of them have glossy
black hair, which is either straight or
slightly curly. 1t is worn short by
the men and long by the women, either
braided, coled, or dressed after the
styles prevailing in Manila.
"The people are especially agricultu-
raj. There are few masters and few
on the island. AS rule the
farms are not too extensive TO be cub
tivated by the family; all the mem
)ers, even the little children, lend a
hand"
