FOREIGN TRADE

The expansion of foreign trade III
III limited States has been process
OF slow development. This was que
primarily TO the fact that so bound
less were the confines Of the country
and so plentiful the supply or IA"
materials stored therein that the ra--
pidly increasing population spread
throughout the United Safes nad al
WAYS bountiful supply on hand Tor
domestic consumption, but utllized
that supply to its fullest capacity.
When production is plentiful ana
demand is great there is created a
market for all products which does
not need TO go beyond its own geo
graphical limitations. Nor does 1t
have the stimulus necessary TO M
crease productivity to supply de-
mands other than those OF its own
territory. -.
consequently, therefore, during the
last century productivity in America
has been largely for American con-
sumption. Indeed, it would seem.
that export from the United States
really followed the importation there
in of some few raw materials ana
manufactured products when were
not easily procured within the ooru-
ers of the country. With european
countries there has always been, OIL
course. an interchange OF commodl-
ties; but the other great markets o.
the world, until comparatively re-
Gently. have not been looked upon as
NECESSARY factors in American Tor
eiqn trade development.
Now. however, the aspect IS entire
w changed The old tendency 10
regard domestic markets as prefer
ential 10 any other has yielded to
broader and more modern conception
of the inter-relationship OF nations
engaged in commerce.
The brave fleet of merchantmen
from the rugged New England
Coast. the Dutch from Nieu Am
sterdam, the packets OF Stephen Gi-
rard, the Spanish merchantmen Oh
the bygone days, were all IN the laSt
analysis merely traders content 10
give what they had in exchange tor
what they could get. For many
wears the merchant marine business
of the United States followed lines
more or less similar to these, but IN
the closing days of the last century,
and ever increasing to the present
time, came realization OF the pos
sibilities of systematized foreign
trade between the various nations.
The great World War FASTENED the
setting of the scene for further de-
velopment of this idea. The resour-
ces of the nation were devoted al
most interruptedly to the develop
ment of cargo carrying fleets turned
out in quantity production with UNI
believable speed
The war, happily, has ended. The
fleets remain. The markets IN for
eign countries are ready for our
trade. The productive capacity OF |
the United States is greater than .
ever before. Difficulties such as the .
uneven rates of exchange, the labor .
situation and the important question
of international credits all are trans
tive in their bearing on the general .
subject They can be settled salts .
factorily; they will be settled salts
factorily. The good, sound common
sense of the American people as a
whole will insist upon it, and 1t Will .
be done.

The Grid Condenser and Grid Leak

For II man who started out with the
promise not TO be too technical, it strikes
me that / am getting you into rather
deep water with this series OF talks on
the audion bulb and how it works. But
there is one consolation about it; you
can operate your set without knowing
these things and 80 you can skip this
particular part If you want to.
hut IL you do you will miss half the
enjoyment Of radio. The more you
understand Of what goes on inside your
set the more fully you will get the ro-
mantle appeal Of the marvels Of this new
better idea OF just what to do when you
hear funny sounds in your phone which
would completely puzzle a man who
didn't know what caused them.
Most beginners seem to be very much
puzzled by the term grid leak"
Well. a grid leak is an extremely
simple thing. Make n pencil mark
about an inch and q half long upon a
piece Of cardboard and you will have a
grid leak.
In our talk on condensers we learned
that condenser is a little apparatus
which has the ability to store up cleo
trical energy and discharge it all at
once. You have seen in all the radio
shops neat little pieces or apparatus
marked grid condenser" and you may
have wondered why such cheap little
thing, costing only 35 cents II you buy
It, or requiring only the tinfoil and
piece Of wax paper from package of
cigarettes If you make It, should be so
important.
Cheap as it is. simple as IL is to make,
you could not hear the signals through
nm audion hulh without it
You already know that the signals
received in your aerial come in the form
of alternating current-that Is, elec-
tricity caused by them In your receiving
set is first positive, then negative, then
positive and again negative, and so on.
But these alterations come with such
inconceivable rapidity that the human
ear would not be capable Of hearing
them even II the diaphragm Of the tele-
phone could vibrate 80 fast--which It
cannot. When an amateur Is sending

Now the human ear cannot make uS

 "Thc knowledge of things is through the five senses, taste touch sight, smell and hearing. You see a clock or an electric light and you think you know all about it.

My eyes report something vel. low and round, with legs and wings My judgment associates buzzine noise, and a yellow object with leg and wings and says 'bumble bee and believe it.
 Light Waves.
 All scientists say light and sound are nothing but vibrations in the ether. These vibrations are set in motion by various objects. You sec an object 100 yards away from you Before the vibrations traverse that 100 yards they encounter 5000 other vibrations. That is why you can see them easier when you are closer. The vibrations strike the cells of your eyes, ears, etc. and thes nerves re- port them to your brain. Sometimes these nerves get out of order and Ie, ,r rf seeing things that aren't there.
 Amusing Illustrations. Several sets of drawings were eX- hibited on a chart to show that ob- iects are simply what the mind wants them to be. A drawing was shown and the minister asked what 1t was The class agreed that it was a duck You say duck, because you're think ing duck" he said. Are you sure il isn't a rabbit?" And. glancing at the same drawing from another angle, il was as perfect a drawing of a rabbit as it was of duck. He illustrated the point by certain color, tresem- bling an olive drab, on various col ored backgrounds. Although it was the same color the different back grounds hlade it look green, white black and other shades.

BIGGEST FOOL
 IN NEW BRITAIN
Subject Of Rev. TaylOr's Sermon
 --Is Back Of City'S Bible Glass

q have been approached and asked where l stood on the question of the E,veryman's Bible class" said Rev. A. B. Taylor in his sermon at the People's church last evening. Due to various circumstances l feel it my duty to make public declaration of where stand.
 'Different persons have come to me and asked me where 1 stood in refer ence to the class and l want my people and the people of New Britain to know I am for it.
 If there are any men in this church who can and are able to go to this class, I would highly recommend that they go Just today l was talking to q man who had not been to church before in years He said he was at the F.verymans Bible Class meeting this morning and he was going back again next Sunday"
 Rev. Mir. Taylor has offered to help the officials of the E.veryman's class interview some of the men in his church who he thinks ought to be in the class
 "The Biggest Fool in New Britain was the text of the Sunday evening sermon by Rev. Mr. Taylor. He based his theme on four verses from the bible, one from Psalms, 53:1., which says, "The fool hath said in his heart There is TO God One from Proverbs .t4:9., Fools mock at sim and one from Proverbs l2:15, The way of the fool is right in his own eyes,"
 "rhese scriptural statements are UT to date" he said, 'because they are being worked out in mems lives to- day. There are people in New Britain who are going the same way the man went about whom God said, Thou fool, this night shall thy soul be re- ouired of thee.' The man passed away and left all he had behind. When the day for the funeral came, no doubt the preacher said lots of nice things about him, When the time came to place 8 tombstone at the head of the grave no doubt there were lots of nice things written upon it. But God said he was a fool"
 "In New Britain there are the same kind of people, They are good citizens good neighbors, pay their debts, give of their means and some of them helr support the church. But the time will come when God will say to them Thou SooI."
