This is Miriam Rubin, aged eight years, of Wau-
kegan, who fell victim to the strange talking
malady on February S. Specialists from all
parts of the country were interested in the case.
Medical science was baffled in its attempt to
solve the strange disease. Newspapers carried
hourly reports on her condition. Press dis
patches were printed in practically every news
publication in the country.
All sorts of cures ranging from boat trip to
a musical concert, were recommended in letters
sent to her parents. Several Chicago musicians
offered their services Free
Still Miriam chatted on for 212 hours until a
meek Chiropractic Physician in her own city
ventured his services and asserted he thought
he could help her. Her recovery was almost in

Half Million Men
Idle in Winter Is
New York's Problem

NEW YORK, Sept. 12-(Associated
Press Mail)-Half a million men will

motion to meet this situation.
In addition to relief measures plan

The Merchants Association of
New York and the Brooklyn Cham
Der of Commerce have Joined hands
with the Central Trades and Labor
Council and the Building Trades
Council to formulate a practical pro
gram. These organizations believe
the situation can be met partly by
pushing building projects, thus Civ.
ing employment to thousands.
The problem of the ~eX-service mar

$4,000 former soldiers were out of

the number will be increased to be-
tween 100 1000 and 125,000 by mid
winter.

American Trade With
Argentine Under Fire
German Competition

BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 1-(Associ-
ated Press MaiD-American business
in Argentina is at present being bat.
tered by a drum fire of German com
petition, according to Edward F.
Feely, American Commercial Attache
in Buenos Aires.
"In many lines" he says, I'VE are
losing business and from the present
outlook it appears that this condition
will probably continue for soTne time
as the Germas are able to offer low
er prices in a number of cases, when
the high rate of the American dollar
is taken into consideration.
However. it may be accepted as a
certainty that in the long run Am
orleans need have no great fear OF
German or other competition. Once
a normal balance has been establish
cd in International trade, so that the
American trader will not be handi-
capped by the high quotation of the
dollar. | am confident that American
manufacturers will be able to hold

keen, and the American manufacturer
has small chance of getting orders
when price alone is the principal con-
sideration.
Bids recently received by the Divi-
sion of Navigation and Ports of the
Ministry of Public Works illustrate
the comparison between British, Am
erican and German prices. Out o.
ten items bid on the Germans were
able to undersell their competitors IN
nine cases and got the business.
In several instances the low Ger
man bid was far below the level OF
the competing bids, indicating that
the firm offering the goods were will
ing to sacrifice profits in order to get
business. One such case, says Mr..
Feely, showed clear evidence of
dumping, the firm making the old

$1,000 below the factory price in Ger
many and not taking into account
insurance, freight and other costs of
delivery.
Many firms that before the war
profited from strong German connec-
tions have been making efforts to
win back their places in the market.
Some of these have gone so far as
to help re-finance the German factor.

liveries. In one such case a sewing
machine agency helped the factory to
compete with American sewing ma
chimes.
While Germany, however, is able
to undersell American merchants in
the Argentine market on many items,
in at least two ways American manu-.
facturers have a considerable advan-
tage. These are in the matters of
quick delivery and credits. At the
present time, German manufacturers
in most cases are demanding either

~Scandinavians Object
to French Blacklist

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 25-(Assoct
ated Press Mail)-In Scandinavian
circles there is a growing feeling
against the keeping up by France of
her Black Lists, established by law
of February Is, 1917. These lists
keep Scandinavian firms from doing
legitimate business with their old
customers, not only German custom.
ers, but firms in Scandinavia, firms
of high repute and standing.
Financial and commercial circles in
Stockholm and Copenhagen are now
attempting to put pressure on the
Swedish and Danish governments to
move in this matter and demand of
France the repeal of this war act,
In some circles there exist even a
tendency toward retaliation against
France because, it is alleged here,
French firms are actually dealing
with German and blacklisted firms at
the same time the French govern
ment prevents neutral companies
from doing the same.
In insurance circles the feelings
may be gagged from the tenor of the
following quotation from the official
Scandinavian insurance journal: 1--WE
consider it a great impertinence that
the names of highly respected Scan
dinavian companies-insurance and
otherwise-today, nearly three years
after the signing of the armistice,
still figure on the French Black Lists
as a punishment for conducting their
business on strictly neutral lines. We
know that prominent French insurers
look eye to eye with us in this mat
ter and feel ashamed that their coun-
try is keeping up a measure abandon
ed long ago by America, England,
Italy and her other partners in the
great war. The act of February Is
must be repealed and the Black Lists
must go. Even the neutral worm
will turn"

Rum Running Is Not
Confined to the /. S.

COPENHAGEN, Sept. 6-(Associ-
ated Press MaiD-Europe has its
rum-runners, as well as America.
Fifty percent of Danish shipping is
still idle and many smaller craft are
employed in organized smuggling of
whiskey, gin and other alcoholic
beverages to wet inhabitants of dry
countries like Norway and Finland
and in a smaller degree to Sweden.
A yachtsman who has been cruis-
ing in Norwegian waters told the
correspondent that the price Of a
drink has doubled or trebled in Nor
way, where prohibition rules.
Just outside the three mile limit
are anchored ships, mostly Danish
and German, but also a few British,
with cargoes of prohibited drinks
and round every one of these ships
are dozens of small Norwegian boats
waiting .leir turn to get part Of the
costly cal so.
IA assist Norway in enforcing her
prohibition law, Denmark has oroli.
lifted the export and re-export Of
spirits. This merely means that the
sniugglers go to German and British
ports to buy whisky and gin and re-
turn once more to their trading sta
lions just outside Norwegian terri
tory.
"he yachtsman said the Norwegian
police and custom officials were pow
erless to deal with this industry and
that practically every owner of a
sailing or rowing boat in the little
