MANY TRILLIONS OF
MATCHES ARE USED
Japan, SWEDEN AND UNITED
STATES MAKE NEARLY ALL
MATERIAL FOR LIGHTS.

A recent fotation in the United
| States OF large loan for the purpose
| OF enlarging the activities OF the world
lmatch>manufacturin industry has led
City Bank of New York to a study OF
| the worlds outturn and consumption
OF matches and it estimates that the
people of the world used last year A.
! 675, ,650,000,000 matches for which they
paid $200,000,000,
Most OF the AZ trillion matches
manufactured for the world markets
are the products OF half dozen coun-
tries having special facilities tor the
production of this article of world re-
quirement. The three requisites tor
successful manufacture of matches are
first, a plentiful supply OF the kinds
OF wood suited for their manufacture;
second plentiful capital tor the pur-
chase OF the ingenious and expensive
machinery by which they are turned
out; and third, plentiful supply OF labor.
Aspen and white pine are the timber
entirely used. As a consequence the
biggest match manufacturing countries
of the world are United~States, Sweden
and Japan, though Great Britain and
match industry Of the United States
put the average per capita con-
sumption of the whole world at about
II matches per day.
1t is not to be supposed from the
above statements that all OF the
worlds matches are produced in the
six countries named, the United
States, Sweden, Japan, Russia, Great
Britain and Germany. Limited guam
titles are produced in other countries,
and in France the industry is gov
ernment monopoly, and those &C
ouainted with the subject assert that
the cost of matches used in other
countries where competition holds
down the price and at the same time
results in the production OF a higher
quality of match than those turned
out under the government monopoly
in France.
About 80 per cent OF the AZ tril-
lion matches consumed in the world
are produced in the United States,
20 sper cent in Sweden, 20 per cent
in Japan, IS per cent in Great Brit
ain, and the bulk OF the remainder
in Poland, Norway, Germany and
limited quantities in China. The Uni
ted States, while the biggest produ,,
Ger Of the world, exports. but a limited
quantity, Japan and Sweden being the
worlds chief exporter of matches.
Japan supplies large part of the
matches used in the Orient, espe-
cially India, China and the Dutch
East Indies, while Sweden exports
largely to adjacent European counl-
tries. and also to Africa, South
America and Australia. A large share
of the OF the matches made in Swe,,,
den and Japan are OF the safety
tvpe. while not more than one-third
Of II the 1900, ,OOO,OOOOOO made in the
United States are Of this type.
While the match is looked upon
as an Inexpensive article its manu-.
facture requires larger amount OF OF
capital in proportion to out-turn than
that of many important articles. In
1920 reports of the United States Cen
sus OF Manufacturers puts the. capl--
talization OF the match tactoories So6 OF
the United States at nearly $30OOo,-,
00O. suggesting that the capital invested
in the match industry approXlmates
500, 100000.

Cheaper labor. smaller transportation

A HARD FOUGHT BATTLE.

One of the hardest fought battles IN
the General Conference was for secrC-
tary Of the A. M. E. Sunday School
Union, yet after much discussion ana
many side meetings, when it went in
to the General Conference. Prof. ira
T. Bryant was reelected over all the
opponents on the first ballot Immed1-
ately on the election, Bishop joshua
H. Jones served notice that he would
contest the election of Ira T. Bryant
on the ground that too many ballots
were cast and the secretary had not
received majority.
Bishop Williams D. Chappelle VI

the entire election, and he ruled that
Bryant had been elected. When the
time came, Bishop Jones withdrew his
protest. Things moved along smooth
ly. The laymen presented Bishop Chap

presiding. Bishop H. Blanton Parks
