TRADE PLANS To
, s. AMERICA
PLAINED
commercial Experts in 3-Day
Conference Show Heavier
Volume on Both Sides.

Comprehensive plans for more in.
tensive promotion of trade between
the United States and South and
Central America were discussed at a
three-day conference ending TODAY
between Department of Commerce
officials and American commercial
attaches accredited to various Latin
American countries. The conference
l-brought the remarkable increase in
inter-AmeFican trade in the pas.
eighteen months.
Total trade imports, plus exports
between the United States and
South America, jumped from a little
less than half a billion dollars in
the fiscal year ending June, 1922, to
almost three-quarters of d billion in
the fiscal year just ended, and July
cures show that the new fiscal year
has started with the trend still up
ward.
sstet Europe Discounted.
European competition, in spite OF
adverse dollar exchange in many
I.atin-American countries and other
factors specifically discouraging to
american trade, has made no serious
st5lroads in our position, Commerce
sf9e'lartment officials said.
4fkss year there was gain in our
H3fp9rts to every Latin-American
ssis 1ntry, ranging from about per
ffff { to Ecuador and Mexico, to SO
1s~i cent for Cuba, and gain in ex-
bnzparts to all Latin-America of q
osYF cent. Meanwhile, our exports to
BE whole world have increased only
1908 per cent Practically all our
exports taken by Latin-America has
shared in this increase, including
- Ell rails, wire nails, lumber and
manufacturers of wood, automobiles.
naval stores, pianos, etc.
Aeass New Imports Heavy.
Imports from Latin-America have
increased to an even more remark
able degree. For the seven months
Of 1924 the increase in imports from
south America were 81 per cent;
from Latin-America. including Next
CO.. Central America, and the West
Indies. 1t was so per cent compared
with an increase of AZ per cent from
the rest of the world.

Such performance gives you conclusive proof

Not only do race drivers use Fircstone Tires

EUROPE ARMS AGAIN;
MILLION MORE MEN
SMALL NATIONS, FORMED BY
WORLD WAR, INVESTING
IN ARMED FORCES.

The new states in Europe, created
bv the war, have increased the armed
forces on the continent to a greater
number than in 1918, according to
figures recently gathered by European
experts. The strength of the standing
armies of Europe in 1918 was 3,747, l79
men. In 1922 the strength was 4,354,-
065.
Small Nations Blamed.
This increase OF 607,7S6, despite the
compulsory reduction of 696,135 men
in the standing armies OF Germany.
Hungary and Bulgaria, may be laid
almost entirely to the small countries
which have adopted the policy Of
maintaining large bodies OF armed
men.
Great Britain has greatly reduced
her navy, while the army estimates
for 1o25-24 provide for reduction
which brings the total below the 1918
figures. Italy, with a greatly increas-
ed land frontier. reduced her forces
in 1922 by $4,000, as compared with
1913.
France Plans More Cuts.
The standing army of France in
1922 numbered 736,261 men, against
76O43o in 1918 a reduction of 24,178.
The French estimates for 1928 pro-
vide for a reduction to an establish
ment of 100000. So it may readily be
seen that the leading powers are not
responsible for the increased armies
in Europe.
In the days before the war Italy
was regarded as a great military pow
err. Today the standing armies OF Po-
land and Rumania are larger than the
standing army OF Italy.
People Must Pay.
The burden of military service and
the taxation for the army upkeep falls
upon the people of the new states far
more heavily today, when they have
obtained their freedom, than it did
when they were under the rule of the
car. the kaiser and the Austrian en-
perOr.
In the days when the territory which
is now Czecho- Slovakia was govern
ed from Vienna it contributed to the
standing army of Austria quota OF
| $4,000 men, Today. Czecho- Slovakla
maintains an army of 100000 men.
Finland Increases Army.
The territory of the new Poland
was before the war partly under Ger
man. partly under Austrian and part
w under Russian rule 1t then found
100000 men for the standing armies
of those three great military powers.
Today Poland has a standing army
of 255.OOO men. Finland before the
war, provided 10000 men for the
army of the car; she now has an
army of 10000
The standing armies Of the three
great European powers-Great Brit
ain. France and Italy-today number
| 100000 men, and those of the re-
naming states OF Europe 3,255,918.

SAYS WOMEN CAUSE
HALF WORLDS WOES
AGAINST MEN" AS
SAILED BY NOTED BRITON.
ENVY IS CHARGED.

LONDON.-Half the miseries of
the western world are caused by wo-
men fighting against men, declared
DR.. Josiah Oldhe1d, the British physi-
clan. lawyer and author, i'll a recent
London address.
In spite of countless ages OF expert
ence. the doctor added, women had
failed to excel even in cooking, yet
they set up as competitors OF men in
all walks of life. Far more homes are
made miserable by envious women,
he said, than by dominant or brutal
men,
Thinkers On Mandolin"
"Women," continued Dr. Oldheld,
have been thinkers on the mandolin
and piano through all the ages, but it
is among men that the creative must
clans are found"
In the sphere OF art also DIR. Old
field said that although women had
been busy painting their lips and faces,
their nails and eyelashes for countless
ages, if one sought paintings which
would create emotions of the higher
and best character for all time one
has to go to paintings done by men.
Initiative Only, He Says.
"Women are initiative and not crea-
tive" said the English critic. If
search is made in Westminster Abbey
for records of the great women of
England one will find a few actresses
and courtesans, but none who were
worthy of being concentrated as
poets, PAINTERS, sculptors, inventors,
world pioneers or world benefactors.
Having charged women with neg
lecting the most sacred duties of
motherhood and with having selected
the doubtful pleasures OF politics and
public life in place of it, Dr. Oldheld
concluded by saying that men were
superior and should be reverenced, and
until. women were taught to become
affectionate junior comrades in the
co-partnership of the sexes there
would be no peace in life.

STRAWBERRIES NEED
CAREFUL ATTENTION
PLANTS OULD BE KEPT
FREE OF GRASS AND WEEDS
AND WORKED IN SUMMER.

After the Strawberries have been
harvested the beds should be cultivat-
ed clean throughout the summer, the
runners removed and the soil grad
ually worked towards the crown. If
the bed is allowed to grow up in grass
and weeds during the summer only
partial crop OF inferior berries will
be produced the following spring, for
the, strawberry produces the bloom
buds in embryo form in the late sum
mer and fall and it is necessary, the
horticulturists remind us, that the
plants be kept in perfect condition
during this period.
The strawberry bed should be fer
tilted in September with about 900
pounds of an 8-4-4 fertilizer per acre.
This will encourage growth during
the fall months and have the plants
go into winter quarters with ample
foliage to protect them from the cold
during the winter. Care should be ia
ken not to apply the fertilizer too late
in the fall or to use too heavy appll-
cation of heterogeneous fertilizers.

JnderinAated Tires Are
Proving Popular Here
Dawson Dealer Has a Growing De-
mand for Dayton Cords.

1T is a wonderful thing" said Mr..
Mathis, manager of Locke-Mathis
Motor Co., local Dayton tire dealer
THAT the Dayton Rubber Mig. Com
Dany has done for the comfort and
of motorists. AS long as |
can remember, everybody has wanted
tires that they could ride on underin-
Hated, without damaging the tires, Of
course. Now they have them in Day
ton Thorobred Cords, and Daytons
are guaranteed just the same as ever"
Mr.. Mathis is very proud of the
product he is selling. There can be no
doubt but that a great deal OF atten-
loa has been attracted to his place OF
business by the remarkable announce
mcnt that Dayton Thorobred Cords
are SO constructed as to require much
power air pressures than other pneu-
matte tires.
Naturally" said Mr.. Mathis, when
you don't put so much air in tires
iaey ride . lot easier; they protect
your car from vibration and road
shocks; they materially reduce upkeep
ard repair bills; they are not nearly
r. likely to skid and puncture-and,
2 they're Dayton Cords, the only
IooTes actually built to be run underin-
mated there is no sacrifice in mileage.
As matter OF fact Dayton Cords are
Fnade to give maximum service I'M

Peanut Is the Latest
Favorite With Londoners
Britishers Eat Them Unroasted and
Don't Know the Difference. Sold
Everywhere Now.

American visitors in London during
the unprecedented hot spell last week
found no difficulty in obtaining ice
cream or cooling beverages, says the
New York Herald. Most of the big
stores have now installed soda foun-
tains and one big catering firm man
ufactures $4,000 gallons of ice cream
daily.
A few years ago it was only at
places frequented by Americans that
there was any call for ice cream and
iced drinks, but now the ice cream
habit has taken hold on the British
metropolis to an amazing extent.
The latest American favorite to
spring into popularity here. however,
is the peanut Formerly the taste for
these was never so pronounced here,
but some enterprising importer has
brought large quantities to London
lately. and they are being sold in the
street. in the Strand, Fleet street and
other crowded thoroughfares.
Americans seem to Shun them, but
there is a reason. The peanuts are
sold here unroasted, as tourists have
found out after taking a large pack
ace to their hotel for a real peanut
party. The Briton, however is eating
them raw and does not seem to know
that they should be eaten otherwise.
Now that the peanut has come to
stav the American colony has hopes
that hot dogs and corn on the cob
also will make their appearance soon.

A year ago or so congress passed a
law authorizing various nationalities
toNenter this country at a rate not to
exceed 5 per cent per annum OF the
total of such nationality in America
at the time of the census of 1910 The
object and effect OF this was and has
been to exclude many thousands of
southern and eastern Europeans-peo-
pies different from us in ideals and
standards of living and difficult OF as
similation. AT the same time the law,
as intended, has encouraged the en-
trance of North Europeans-peoples
closely akin racially to us, familiar
with our form of government, and
quickly assimilabe
A measure now before congress,
and which seems to have a good
chance of passage, would cut the per-
centage to 2, based upon the 1890
census, thus still more closely barring
the door to undesirables. 1t is stated
that under the present law we are get
ting about $4,000 immigrants a year,
and that the new measure would give
us about 100000 a year. Compare this
with the million or more year we

will be seen how drastic the cut has
been and will be.
For one, l favor excluding every
foreigner who has not in him the
makings of a good citizen. We have
too many reds" already. l shall ask
my representative in congress to vote
for the restrictive measure now pro-
posed, because | believe we need
quality in citizenship, rather than
quantity.
Negroes Go North
l believe that such measures are to
be permanently in force hereafter, and
that they are bound to have a pro-
found effect upon industry and agri-
culture, in the south particularly.
When we were getting a million i'm
migrants year most of them went
into the great industries of the north
and west This great stream has now
been damned back, northern indus
trial centers are needing labor, and
in order to get it their pull of high
wages is steadily taking negroes out
of the south.

Negroes Drifting to Northern States
VIII Help Increase Prices of Cotton
From the Progressive Farmer.

eSSlve Farmer.
For 50 years the men who have
grown cotton, white and black, have
been underpaid. This has been so be-
cause millions of laborers from Eu-
rope kept the northern industries sup
piled, and there was no outlet Tor our
underpaid surplus of labor. SO it was
either make cotton at starvation
wages or starve Distance, lack OF
communication and a total ignorance
of the higher wages in the north also
served to keep negroes in the south.
High wages during war time broke
the jam at last, and hundreds OF
thousands OF negroes went north. his
stream continues steadily, and VIII
continue, it seems to me, until wages
and living conditions, rural and urban,
north and south, are on something like
parity.
Cheap Labor Gone.
The ultimate effect of all this, it APP
pears to me, is going to be to the inn
measurable benefit OF the cottongrow-
ing south. Our cheap labor is going
to be cheap no longer; it has learned
where the high wages are, and it is
going to get them. If cotton produc-
ton cannot pay these higher wages,
then enough producers are going else
where to an extent that will automat-
ically decrease production and in
crease prices.
If we have race problem, it, too,
is going to be simplifed by the opera
ton of these influences. There is
bound to be diffusion OF negroes
over the United States, wider by far
than ever before The black south will
grow whittier, the white north blacker.
There has been and will be COM
plant at our loss of negro labor, pos
sibly some sections and individuals
will be temporarily hurt by it. Man
ufacturing and industrial centers have
been and will be clamoring for a
modification of the immigration re-
strictions. But, amid all this, it will
be we'll for us to remember that
America has already come dangerous
" near to letting in more perverted
thinking foreigners than she can ever
assimilate. The proposed further re-
strictions will benefit the whole ma
ton, and the cotton belt in particular.

NOT so MANY PAYING
HEAVY INCOME TAXES
ARE ONLY TWENTY WITH IN
COMES OVER A MILLION IN
1921. FEWER RETURNS.

The ranks OF American millionaire
taxpayers continue to grow thinner,
according to statistics of income tor
1921, made public by the internal rev.
enue bureau, which show that OF the
6.662,176 firms and individuals filing
returns for 1921 only twenty-one had
incomes exceeding one million dol
lars. This represents a decrease OF
twelve from the number receiving
million dollar incomes in 1920 and
compares with 65 in 1910; o. in 1918;
14l in 1917, and with 200 in 1916, the
highest since the income tax laws be-
came operative.
There was falling off also in the
total number OF returns filed for 1871
from 7,259.944 filed for 1920, but for
1921 the total was greater by nearly l.
$4,000 than that for 1919. Indications
already have been given that final
computation of returns for 1922 will
show another drop in the total as COM
pared with the high mark OF 1920.
Taxes aggregating $l9,3S7 100 were
collected on the more than SIX and a
half million returns, an average OF
S1O7.80 per return. The income from
which the taxes were drawn aggre-
gated S19212, 528, the average net in
come per return amounting to 81
On the basis OF the 1920 census,
however. the income tax payments tor
1921 would allow each person in the
United States a net income of only
S187.65 and would result in the pay
ment of only 500 per person. Only
628 per cent of the population paid
income taxes while for the previous
wear OBS per cent of the population
received income sufficient to require
the filing of returns.

PARDON PETITIONS
ARE ROUNDLY SCORED
DEKALB COUNTY GRAND JURY
SAY THEY'RE BACKED ON
LY BY MISGUIDED FOLK.

DECATUR, Ga-Sweeping recon-
mendations against the present wide
spread practice of getting up public
petitions to secure pardons or paroles
for convicted criminals are embodied
in the presentments of the DeKalb
county grand jury Regarding this
practice, the preSentments say
1T is a common practice for public
petitions to be sent to the governor,
the parole board, the prison commits
sion and the courts to secure pardons
or paroles for those who have been
convicted OF crime.
1T is our opinion that in the ma
jority of cases these petitions are
backed only by misguided, sympa-
thetic people who have no knowledge
of the facts in the cases. These petit
tions clog the machinery of the courts
and are undesirable. We, therefore,
condemn the practice and recommend
that the law be allowed to take its
course in all criminal cases unless
new evidence that has not been offer
ed before is discovered"

400 ACRES THAT'S MOST
VALUABLE LAND IN WORLD

acres of land in the heart of London,
England The land is covered with
buildings, of course, and rents bring
him SIS, 100000 a year. The land had
been the property of the Westminster
family before London became a city.
AS it grew and crowded on the acres
the land was not sold but buildings
were erected and rented.
