What does Cuban trade mean to the
United States?
Cuba's exports to us last year totaled
$3.50, 100000, while our exports to the
island reached $154, 0O0,OOO That
means that Cuba sent SO per cent of
her products to us and bought 81 per
rent of all her imports from us.

FINDS CHINESE CRAVE
FOREIGN-MA GOODS
Head of Chicago Museum De-
cIares Nation Longs to BE g
More Modern.

Chicago.-Old, conservative China
is no more, for the whole spirit of the
Chinese people is modernized, accord
ing to DR.. Berthold Laufer, curator of
the department of anthropoIogy of the
Field Museum of Natural History who
has just returned from China where
he made an extensive archaeological
survey.
The Chinese of today are obsessed
by craving for foreign-made goods
and styles in keeping with the trend
of the modern republican movement,
he said, in describing the last years
studies of the language and customs
of the people.
More than 1000 objects are included
in the new collections which he
brought back with him and which will
be added to the Chinese collections at
the museum.
The basic structure of the ancient
civilization is shaken, he said, but he
believes that present-day conditions of
brigandage are transient and he has
great faith in the Chinese people.
During the expedition he came in con-
tact chiefly with the upper classes and
Manchu aristocrats. He paid high trib-
ute to the Chinese for their genuine
courtesy and sympathetic understands
ing of his mission.
Doctor Laufer procured material
from private collections, from the pos
session of old families and as the re-
suit of excavations undertaken by Chi
nese, outstanding among these being
284 pieces of medieval pottery, 1873 Of
which fall within the time of the Sung
dynasty, when the most artistic cerar
mic products were made.
The most striking expedition
trophies, however, are an imposing
carved red lacquered bed of the Eight
zenith century, an deliberately carved
bridal chair of the same period, and a
large dragon boat, each object a mar
vel of technical skill and labor coupled
with exquisite taste. The red lac
gvered bed is 81 feet wide, IA feet
lous and feet high, forming veri-
taNe room in itself. The dragon boat,
which is feet long and 21a feet wide,
is carried around in religious process
sions at the annual dragon-boat festi-
val.
Another important acquisition con-
sists of four court costumes, also many
other bits of imperial paraphernalia
of the Manchu dynasty. Among these
are a complete dress of a lady of the
Manchu aristocracy, court hats and
elaborate headdresses, imperial bro
cades, tapestries, fans and door
screens, complete set of the bows used
in the military examinations for test
ing the strength of candidates, ard
weapons and armor
Among other treasures brought to
the museum are % paintings of the
Sung and Yuang periods as we'll as an
cient tapestries, brocades and cut vel
vets. Numerous additions were made
to the existing collections of jade and
other hard stones.

Russian Gamblers Sent
to Provinces in Exile

Moscow.-Russia has established a
pale, not for Jews as in the czarist
regime, but for gamblers, obnoxious
spectators and citizens whose useful
ness in the upbuilding of the country
is questioned by the officials.
Within the next few days, scores of
men and their families, barred from
living in Moscow, Petrograd or any Of
the big cities, will start for the prov
inces, while several dozen more will
begin the long trek to the Narinsky
district of Siberia, the shores of the
White sea or other distant points of
exile.
A year ago a decree was issued es-
tablishing the right of administrative
Punishment by the department Of the
interior, but up to the last few weeks
this power had been used only sparing-
ly. Now, however, great wave of
moral reform seems to have come over
the communist leaders who are in
clined to blame the extravaganza of
gamblers and spectators for the fail
ure of some of the governments COM
mercial enterprises.

Whistles to Remind
Autoists of Children

New York.-The greatest traffic
safety drive the city ever has under,
taken was inaugurated here recently
and will continue until the schools
close next July, it was announced by
Marcus Dow, secretary of the police
department bureau of public safety.
The plan is to educate autoists and
pedestrians. especially school children,
in the prevention of accidents.
At 2:59 p. m. daily, one minute be-
fore public school children are dis
missed for the day, whistles are blown
and bells rung throughout the city, To
notify automobile operators that the
children are on the streets. At the
same time children in the schools
stand at attention for one minute,
thinking of accidents and means by
which they may be prevented. A sec
ond minute is used by teachers to eau
ton the children about crossing
streets.
Display cards have been posted
throughout the city instructing pedes-
TRANS and autoists how to help in the
safety campaign.

U. S. OIL WASTE
FOUND ENORMOUS
One Third to 0ne-HaIf of Prcduc-
ton Lost, According to Gov.
eminent Survey.


Westinghouse of natural gas
and oil through flooding, seepage,
waste and negligence in the various
fields in the United States have been
enormous, according to statements Of
the Interior department. based upon a
recent survey by the bureau of mines.
While the oil and gas industry has
progressed steadily and has been prac-
tically revolutionized during the "a
years of its existence, losses have run
into untold millions of feet of gas and
gallons of fuel oil. Flooding of oil
sands by water have irreparably dam
aged entire oil and gas fields; the wa
ter trapping underground oil that prob
ably never will be recovered. Water
in an oil well so increases lifting costs
that many wells are abandoned before
the normal recovery of oil and gas is
obtained
Corrosive waters attack casing and
eventually eat holes in it. Operators
in the Kansas Ell Dorado field alone
expend thousands of dollars annually
replacing casing, tubing, sucker rods
and other equipment so destroyed.
Muzzing of the Flow.
Although 'blowouts" and wild
wells" were formerly the greatest fac
tors in the loss, modern equipment has
made it easier to muzzle the unchecked
flows. The old practice Of allowing
"gushers" to waste oil and gas I'M
fhn fhn oif
stopped by cave-ins or decreased an ap-
preciable amount, has been done away
with, but not before millions of dollars
worth of the natural resources were
lost.
IN the early days of the Gushing
field in Oklahoma, in 1912 and 1913, it
is estimated 100,000000 feet of gas
were wasted daily. Large flowing wells
which produced from 100000 to no.
100000 cubic feet of gas daily were al
lowed to flow, the operators only gath
ering the oil. Until recently no use
was made of gas produced in the Salt
Greek field of Wyoming and the daily
loss was estimated at 42,5O0.OOO cubic
feet.
What Bureaus Study Showed.
In 1912 the total amount of gas con-
sumed throughout the country was
662, 052, 100000 cubic feet, while the
loss of casing head gas alone was esti-
mated at 141 ,OO0,OOO,0OO feet in that
year. 1t seems probable that from
one-third to one-half of all the gas pro-
duced is wasted, the bureaus study
showed.
Production of gasoline from natural
gas was started In 1904 and while the
amount recovered has increased by
leaps and bounds yearly, it was esti-
mated that since that year at least q
gallons of gasoline have
been wasted, or twice the amount re-
covered. More than 25,000,O00 gallons
of gasoline must have been lost in the
Hewitt field, in Oklahoma, alone, dur
ing this time. From 20,OO0,OOO to 49,
100000 gallons were lost in the FL
Dorado field
Emulsions with water cause another |
great loss. Engineers estimate the pro-
duction of "cut" oil in the Mid-Conti-
nent and Gulf coast fields in 1920 and !
1921 at about 100,000,000 barrels.
while half of this was lost, at an esti-
mated waste of $100,000,O00.

y ENERAL DAWES and his COM
y mittee of experts last week prac-
tically completed their report on the
German problem and presented 1t In
outline form to Premier Poincare. who
is said to have accepted in principle
these features of it.:
To surrender control of the railways

change for a general lien on the Ger
man railways.
The establishment of a bank of

Belgian economic control services es-
tablished to extract Preparations direct
~ from the Ruhr
moratorium for Germany-al-
though the experts recommendation
of three years win be reduced by
France to two years.
Premier Poincare has been trying
hard to bring the French experts into
accord with the Americans and Eng
fish so that the report may be unani-
nous. TO this end he is willing to
make great concessions. Probably this
attitude is induced largely by the fall
of the franc and his other domestic
troubles, including the hot fight that
is being made in the chamber of depu
ties against his plan for increa
taxation.
THE Supreme court of the United
4 States, three justices dissenting,
has held that national banks under the
federal banking act are prohibited
from establishing branches, except
when they were formerly state banks
"having branches, the capital being
joint and assigned to and used by the
mother bank and branches in definite
prior to taking out its
national charter Such banks may ire

division in the court was not over the
question of branches, but over the
