EMBROIDERY is ANCIENT ART
Has Been Practiced for Ages Among
Both Civilized and Savage
Peoples.

Embroidery Is the art of ornament
ing cloth and other materials with the
needle, Most of the embroideries made
today are usually copies of the ancient
ones.
Embroidery Is believed to have been
applied to skins almost as soon as
needle and thong were first employed
to join pieces Of skins together into
garments. In Lapland the natives EN-.
broider their reindeer skin clothing
with needle of reindeer bone, three of
reindeer sinew and applique Of strips
of hide.
Travellers say that in Central Africa,
among the primitive tribes there, the
girls embroider skins with figures of
flowers and animals, suppementlng
the effect with shells and feathers.
Among the ancient Greek textiles
exhumed from Crimean graves are
both tapestries and embroideries now
preserved in the hermitage at Petro-
grad. One of the embroideries is at
tributed to the Fourth century B. G.
and is in colored woods on wool.

TRADE BALANCE
|SREVERSED
IN MARCH
imports to U. S. o,ooo,.
900 in Excess Of Exports,
First Time Since 1914.

Americas favorable balance OF
trade was wiped out in the first
four months of this year, when i'm
ports exceeded exports by approx
mately $50, ZOO, 900, the Department
of Commerce announced today.
The excess Of imports over ex-
ports in March was about $60,O00,-
600, the first month to show an un-
favorable balance of trade since
June, 1914.
The unfavorable balance for the
first four months Of 1923 compares
with a favorable balance in the same
period last year Of 1912, 900. I'm
port figures for April this year were
based upon customs receipts. I'M
ports for March were valued at $4O2,'
.000, 900, compared to $341, 162, S49 ex-
ports.
Gold Imports Lower.
"The net gold and silver imports
during the first four months Of 1923
have been $45, 038, 900 as compared
to $98, AGO, 900 in the same period OF
last year." the official statement
said.
"The movement to and fro Of in
visible items such as shipping
charges, enigrant remittances
tourist expenditures, interest or
loans and loans of capital must also
be considered in any consideration
of the national trade balance sheet
"a preliminary estimate of These
invisible items for 1922 showed 9
balance against US of about $4OO,
000, 900 for the items outside OF capl
tai loans. with an additional amount
of about $3.50, 000,0 900 for net amount
of capital exported, or a. total o.
about $3.50, moo, 900 which, with a net
inflow of $246.000, 900 in gold anc
silver, vas offset by a favorable
merchandise balance Of that yeal
of $780,, 100000 and the liquidation OF
precious open accounts.
There is comprised in the above
estimate of invisible items $126,
000, 900 paid to ut as interest IN
1922 on allied debts which is likely
to be increased another $50,OO0,OOt
this year by debt settlements.
During the past four months
capital loans have been on 9
smaller scale than during the same
period last year. Apparently there
has been some repurchase by Flu
