the first white mans house at New
Philadelphia, had been on the eighth
floor of the Hotel Astor yesterday
he would have enjoyed meeting
three Bott brothers, professors of
dancing. For one of them will as
suredly be the terpsichorean arbiter
of the next inaugural ball at the
National Capital.
Not only has Ohio sewed up the
Presidency for the Buckeye State,
but her native sons lead in the ma

All three are in attendance at the

Richard Spillane Says:

From the report OF the statistical
secretary of the Inspectorate Uen-
eral Of Customs of China it appears
the United States now controls
about one-sixth of the export and
import trade in China.
The foreign trade of 1919 aggre-
gated 1.277,SO7.O92 taeIs. The I'M
ports were Of 646,9s7,SS1 taels value,
and the exports $40. 2O9,411. One
para graph of the report says:
Largely owing to the effects Of
the war. but partly, of course, to
natural causes, the direction Of
China's overseas trade will be found
to have swung considerably from
its old lines in favor OF America,
whose direct trade with China -
apart from Hongkong-was valued
here at 211,00O.000 taels in 1919,
against 10000. 900 in 1913. Imports
from America were valued at no.
600 900 and exports, at moment OF
shipment at 100000. 600 - thus dis
closing a balance of 5000, 900 taels
in favor of America. This is a COM
pIete reversal Of the figures Of pre-
NiOuG years, "HlCn nau always
shown a balance in China's favor
and completely disposes, / may add
of the generally accepted explana-
tion of the huge shipments to China
by America of gold and silver, even
II we were to add the cost OF
freight and insurance to the value
of exports"
Japan continues to occupy first
place in China's trade, with i'm
ports of 247.OOO.O0O taels value. and
exports Of 195.OOO,00o, in 1919.
Imports from Great Britain have
gained slightly from the low fig
ure Of the latter part of the war
but fall far below those of 1918
and 1914.
Apparently Japan and the United
states are TO be the chief rivals for
the trade of China. Japan has a big
start and the advantage of closeness
to the market, but the United States
has the good will of the Chinese,
which is a very important item.
More than one-half Of the trade of
China is in the hands of the Japa-
nese and the Americans today.

Only Mark Twain and W. n. How

Hanekos present errand will give
him more trouble. He will find

CAPITAL HOTEL MAN
DEFENDS PRICES

Editor Washington Herald:
have recently returned from
my observation trip to New York,
Philadelphia and Boston. and in
reference to prices in high-grsde
restaurants and hotels. ] find the
prices here in Washington very
reasonable. The restaurant bust
ness is the hardest and most de-
Ceiving in the United States, be-
cause everybody eats and knows
how mother used to cook" Fur
thermore. they know the market
prices for food.
But Il you want to find out what
it costs to put food on the table. the
losses. waste. service and depreCia-
tion OF equipment in connection
with 1t, just go in the restaurant
business.
The percentage OF failures in the
restaurant business is greater than
in any other business.
do not blame the public for
complaining about prices in gem
eral. but ! do not think there is a
first-class hotel in Washington that
makes money out of the restaurant
business They lose in the summer
what they make in the winter.
They make their money out of the
rooms. To keep their organizations
up they are compelled to keep the
same help the year round.
Perhaps the public does not real
ize that to serve a pot of coffee in
our leading hotels requires $50
worth of silver service II this is
no done they do not have first
class service, according to the New
York idea.
Several high grade clubs have
opened up in Washington in the
past ten years. do not believe
any of these club restaurants could
show any profit if rent was charged
against them.
realize that the prices on veEe-
tables and salads could be reduced,
but to DO this would increase the
high enough. and the public would
not be benefited by 1t.
My guests have not complained so
far about prices The Occidental
Hotel is doing a large volume OF
business. l have no cause to COM
plain.
But I do not want the public TO
have a wrong impression about
profits. The fact is my entire bust
ness last year netted me only per
cent, and so far this year only s
per cent, while l am legally entitled
to 10 per cent.
/ know conditions are not nor.
NAL after war. and from all report,
from other countries ] am glad Ia
be here in the United States and
keep on doing business at any rate

THE THE BIBLE
translated out of the original

xnown as our Mothers Bible"
Continued from Yesterday.

12 So the Lord alone did lead
him, and there was no strange god
with him.
13 He made him ride on the high
places of the earth, that he might
eat the increase OF the fields; and
he made him to suck honey out OF
the rock, and oil out OF the flinty
rock;
IA Butter of kline, and milk of
sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams
of the breed of Bashan, and goats,
with the fat of kidneys of wheat:
and thou didst drink the pure blood
of the grape.
Is But Jeshurun waxed fat,
and kicked: thou art waxen fat,
thou art grown thick. thou art COW
cred with fatness; then he forsook
God which made him, and lightly
esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
Is They provoked him to jeal-
ousy with strange gods, with abom-
nations provoked they him to an

II They sacrificed unto devils,
not to God: to gods whom they

newly up, whom your fathers fear

WHY CITIES GROW

Two items of news from Hender-

one hand, that the decennial growth

isterial Association is more than
ever determined in it's fight against
Sunday movies.
Into the legal aspects of the con-
troversy we do not propose to enter.
We are concerned only with the mar
row spirit, the obstinate intolerance,
the lack of vision of these ministers
