HOLDING CHEMICAL TRADE
Statistics Show That United States
Has Been Able TO Hold High
Marx Set During War.

Offlcial statistics for the fiscal year
1920 demonstrate that this country
hns been able to keep Its trade In
chemical and allied products very near
the high mark set during the war, de-
spite the loss Of markets for purely
war supplies and despite the pressing
demands that must be met In the do
nestle market.
Such IL the conclusion reached by
o. r. Hopkins, a well-known stalls
tician, writing In the Journal OF Indus
trial and Engineering Chemistry.
'Tn almost all lines except muni-
tIons." he writes. "the exports In 1920
exceeded in value those Of 1913. fact
that can be explained In some cases,
perhaps. by rising prices, but which
nevertheless warrants the assertion
that the position has not been weak.

Few English girls are idle. Most Of

that work. food and shelter become

Society Gives Up Smoking.

Smoking has become such a bour-
geois habit that many women of the
London ariStOcracy who have been us
ing tobacco are now stunning it, at
least in public. Medical men here
have warned women frequently since
the war about the evil effects of over
indulgence in cigarettes, but it was
not until smoking became bourgeois
habit that any difference was noticed
in the smoking habits of women of
the So-called upper ten."
At the moment the use of tobacco
by women has become abnormal; be-
sides, many tobacconistS are manufac-
turing small brlar pipes for feminine
use. This has made the habit too COM
mon to please certain figures in so
ciety, and, in consequence, they have
given up the weed. At some aristO-
cratic garden parties recently few If
any women of the elect ventured to
smoke openly. So what medical men
have been unable to do by their warn
ing is being rapidly accomplished by
class pride.-St Louis PoSt-DiSpatch.
