 "Our competitors are playing a game in which they have been train ed for generations. We are almost povices but we have never admitted any possibility of failure and we shall not admit it now.
 The greatest factor in overcoming all obstacles is a concerted campaign Of education and inspiration by cham bers of commerce throughout Am erica.
 For successful American competi- tion in foreign markets, it is essen tial that we should have abroad at least seven American activities in ev- cry market; banks. trading firms. steamship agencies, steamship lines, direct parcels post service. insurance companies and an efficient and ag- gressive chambers of commerce that will bring about unity of action for the common good of all American business"

Constantinople, Mar. A. All chambers of commerce in the United States will be asked by the American Chamber of Commerce here to CO., operate in a campaign to educate the American public in the importance of foreign trade. The project was set forth at the annual meeting of the American Chamber.
 Rear Admira Mark l.. Bristol, the American High Commissioner, de- clared in an address:
 All far-sighted business men at home and abroad must unite in educating pubic sentiment in Amer ca to acknowledge that foreign mar kets are, essential to the prosperity of the country.
 This campaign of education must be push with the least possible delay because other countries are already forging ahead and are making dis tinct progress in spite of the hand leaps which large armies / and un- favorable exchange rates have been to them.

DISCOVER WOMAN
 BURNED TO DEATH
Mrs. Catherine Munion Found After Fire With Overturned Heater
 Beside Her.

Mrs Catherine Munion of S2 Rock we'll avenue was found burned to death last night by iremen after they had extinguished a fire which did about s1oO damage to the h1tlse.
 The body was found lying at the foot of flight of stairs leading from an upstairs bedroom into a basement kitchen, with an overturned kerosene heater beside it. She had evidently fallen down the stairs as she was carrying the heater which caused the fire and her subsequent death.
 Her daughter, Miss Idella Munion an employe of the Royal Typewriter Co.,, was returning from work when she discovered the fire in the kitchen. She called to a young man with whom she had been walking and he turned in an alarm from Boz 124 at thecorA ner of Rockwell avenue and Glen street.
 The fire department quickly re- sponded and when Chief William J. Noble arrived, he was told by Mrs. Joseph Urban, whose husband owns the house, that there was an old wom- an in bed in the rear of the house. A search failed to reveal her where abouts and it was believed that she bad gotten out. The firemen began to remove the debris from the kitchen when the body was discovered. Chief Noble notified Medical Examiner Waterman Lyon.
 Miss Munion, the daughter, said that her mother had been operated on about seven weeks ago but was in very good health. She is sur vived by another daughter, Mrs. Julius Lucent of 453 West Main street with whom she had made her home pre- vious to moving to the Rockwell avenue house last Saturday.

Are Expensive.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture,)
To be successful in the control of
insects and diseases, spraying must be
done promptly and thoroughly. Spray
Ing with Bordeaux mixture should be
done before rains rather than after,
provided the spray has time to dry
on the leaves. Where the advice Is
given gardeners to repeat spraying ey-
cry seven or ten days" these intervals
should depend on the weather If it
is rainy or "muggy," with fOgs or
heavy dews, spray frequently to keep
the foliage protected at all times. If
dry, longer time may be allowed
The ideal spray is a fine mist, and
the best work Is done when the plant
is thoroughly and evenly covered with
fine drops. Stop spraying before the
foliage is drenched.
The higher the pressure, the better
the spray.
Clean all sprayers each time after
using.
For delicate foliage, spray after this
gets under shade Hot sunlight is
dangerous with many sprays, such as
kerosene emulsion.
Spraying and DustIng Appliances,
The materials recommended herein
may be applied In various ways.
For the small garden an atOmizer
Sprayer is good. In the case of the
atOmizer sprayer 1t is an advantage
to have the container for the liquid
made Of glass, as Bordeaux mixture
and other materials attack tin and
iron. These sprayers cost from so to

costs $125.

News Of the robbery gradually leaked
out among the guests; the generally
accepted verdict was that the Masquer
