THRIVES
ON CACAO =
Increase in Use of Chocolate
Brings Prosperity.

New YOrk.-EcuadOr Is making n
complete commercial comeback, the
foreign trade council reports, wholly
because Of the popularity In the Unit
ed States Of chocolate-covered ice
cream CONNECTIONS.
The sudden vogue here for ice
cream served In a chocolate jacket, the
council says, placed chocolate
night at a new premium the world
over. This re-established the demand
for Eucador's staple agricultural prod
uct, cacao, from which the highest
grade bitter chocolate comes, and lift
ed that country out of financial de-
preston,
The chocolate boom, the council
says, proved lucky for the United
States. as well as Ecuador, for it re-
stored to the former n Of It's good
customers Of FIVE years ago.
Commerce between countries being
q simple matter Of give and take,
Ecuador is now spending It's chocolate
money freely here again, notably for
our player pianos.
n That Ecuador plays" when, as and
If the United States "eats," does not
constitute a comparison of tastes In
the two countries, the council adds,
so much as 1t reveals anew that for
eign trade, after all, Is pretty human.
Confectioners In the United States
prefer the Eucador grade Of bitter
chocolate both for its flavor and be-
cause 1t takes a lot of sugar. and
thus enables them to market their
sugar at the higher price Of candy, ac-
cording to the council.
Ecuadors principal competitor is the
Congo, but the African cacao Is called
milder and Is said to run second with
the candy trade.
When the World war shut off deep
sea transportation, the Congo's out
put was blockaded, to the advantage
Of Eucador, but it meanwhile piled up
In such volume that when ocean com-
munication was opened again after the
war 1t came in a flood and broke the
market, Ecuador found Its own cacao
selling at a loss or not at all, and
trade there was brought to a tem-
porary standstill.
In 1920, before the break came, Ecu
dor was selling its products In the
United States at an annual rate OF
S12.244,O 900, and bought American prod
ucts of a value of $~14,480,OOO. The
mutual effect of the slump was shown
In figures for 1921, when Eucador's
exports to the United States fell about
IS per cent to only 1854 600, and its
imports dropped more than 81 per cent
to $5,260,O00.

MARYLAND TAX PAYMENTS
DROP

Although the income tax collec-
tions for the first quarter of 1926
showed a decrease of only about
twelve per cent, as compared with
the same period last year, the col
lection district of Maryland showed
a decrease of more than fifty per
cent

PLANTATION why the returns from
Maryland were cut in half, and more
deeply cut than were the returns for
any other State or district in the
country with the possible exception
of South Carolina.
A total Of $519,23S,S20.9S was
collected from the entire country il.

year, as against 586,7S0,190.39 fol-

This is not regarded as note
worthy by Treasury officials who cite
the fact that the lower rates on in,
comes were made applicable to tn.
returns submitted March Is, cover
ing the calendar year 1924.
But it is regarded as remarkable
that in one State and only one, thai
u.s., in Maryland, the returns for the
quarters should have fallen from
$23,045, O09~ in 1924, to $l1,O43,-
$50 in 1925.
Also it is regarded as remarkable
that the returns from a single
State-Florida, should increase Zoo
per cent, in spite of the lower
tax schedules. There were increases
in some other quarters, but none
comparable to that Of Florida, a
State that is attracting more people
and more capital, 1t is declares, than
any other in the South. The
Florida returns showed an increase
from $2,942,265 in 1924, to $4,554,-
739 in 1925.
New York leads all other States
in collections. In the State at
large $143,44S,445 was paid in, as
against $149,752,747 a year ago.
The second New York district was
the banner district with $73,727,l46.
Pennsylvania is second in collec
tons, with $55,S41,264, a reduction
of nearly $S,OOO,O0O, and Illinois
third, with $45,679,45S, a reduction
of little more than $3,O0O,OOO as

MAKE FIRE UNPOPULAR

Portland, Oregon, is preparing tc
deal severely with the fire-trap
situation, under an emergency or
dinance that provides for closing
unsafe buildings, evicting tenants
and razing the structures, will
heavy penalties for refusal to ODE,
the fire department orders.
Anaconda, Montana, had fires
amounting to only dollar pei
capita during 1924, and Seattle',
fires were only $1.65 per capita; tho
average fire loss for the whole
United States is nearly $500. Much
of this fire loss is due to inexcusablt
carelessness in the handling OF fire
and the losses are enormously in
creased by tiimsy construction and
lack of proper protection.
Every fire loss is a tax on &C
cumulated wealth of the country
The careless fire-builder is as much
a public enemy as the traitor who
sells the nations safety in time OF
war, and is as deserving OF punish
ment.. The Portland law prescrib
ing swift and heavy punishment 10:
violation Of safety fire ordinances il
rational step.
Punitive laws alone will not cover
the situation. Education as to re
sponsibility for fires and necessity
for preventing them is essential t.
the real solution. When it is made
as unpopular to have fire as it il,
to be law breaker along other lines
to the detriment of the community
hen the fire menace will cease.

LAWS TO ENCOURAGE
ACCIDENTS

Although flood of compulsory
automobile insurance bills were in
troduced in the various legislatures,
the tabulated list already exceeding
sixty, very few of them got any
where. In great majority OF cases
the strong arguments made against
the measures were sufficient to post
poned action.
The reasons against the plan are
many and cogent and werex we'll set
forth>in the report of the Committee
OF Nine appointed to consider such
measures. This report holds that
laws would not prevent automobile
accidents, but would rather tend to
increase them, and outlines the other
arguments against the plan and the
inevitable tendency to encourage
state insurance,
Edison S Lott, President United
States Casualty Company, says the
one remedy that meets the whole
situation of automobile accident in
suTance,, compulsory or otherwise, is
prevention OF accidents.
1.-THE prevention of accidents, .
he says, " is worth more than all the
compensation in the wide world for
accidents. Therefore, we should
first concentrate our efforts on pre-
vention, and avoid any partial
| por, DIV 4
tend to divert public attention from
such objective. Above all, we
should avoid any palliative that
might tend to increase the public
dangers from motor traffic rather
than to prevent or reduce them"

Henry Ford has sent to his friend
Thomas A. Edison, the first complete
set of Johansson cages manufac-
tured in the United States. The set
consists of eighty-one blocks and
these delicate little pieces of steel
are accurate within four millionths
of an inch. They are contained in a
newly developed Bakelite case.
For many years Johansson cages
have been accepted as standard for
measurements throughout the world,
and until recently they were canu-
featured exclusively in Sweden, the
native land of the inventor, Carl E.
Johansson.
In order to take care of the
United States needs, the Johansson
company acquired plant at Pough-
keepsie, N. Y, but before manufac-
ture of blocks began the Ford
Motor Company, in 1928, purchased
the plant together with the Ameri
can manufacturing r i G h t s. Mr..
Tchansson Joined the Ford organi-
cation as a member of the engineer
ing staff to further develop his pre-
cision Instruments.
And so it was in the new labora-
sories of the Ford Motor Company at
Dearborn that he recently completed
the set Mr. Ford has just presented
to Mr.. Edison.

FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1926
MOTHERS DAY


Sunday, May 10, is Mothers Day
and on,'that day every one is asked
to honor mother. Every church
throughout the land will observe the
day in her sacred honor, and every
person should wear white car
nation, which is the beautiful SYM
boil chosen for this day.
Philadelphia has much to COM
memorate it in history, and it is
fitting that the beautiful custom of
paying honor to Mother had its
origin there in the person OF Miss
Jarvis, whose suggestion it was that
the day be so set apart.
The swiftness with which the idea
was taken up, and its spread, shows
the deep chord that was struck by
it, as it has become fixed annual
festival in every part of our land,
and has spread to other counties.
A writer in the Sons of America in
urging the observance pays the fol-
lowing beautiful tribute to Mother:
Let all other days of the year
be ours in which to fight the forces
of selfishness and greed, but on the
10th day of this month let US turn
individually to the shrine of that
love which of all loves is most per
sonal, to commune with her who
from first cry to last breath is faith
full. For even her failures-and
mothers sometimes fail-never are
due to lack of faith in her child
And every man or woman who has
worked way to some high place of
usefulness knows his or her best
strokes have been inspired, at least
in some measure, by consciousness
of mothers faith.
However ,obsessed with things
material, with talk OF trade, war and
politics, in those hours OF calm
reflection which reveal some glow
of eternal truth, we know love to be
the greatest thing in the world, and
blind indeed is that one who cannot
see in mothers love, high proof OF
this great fact. Here. is the love
that never changes; that is not
altered by time, place or circum-
stances. AS someone said, you
cannot walk in midnight haunt
where she cannot see you; you can
not enter prison whose bars will
keep her out; you cannot mount a
scaffold too high for her to reach
that she may kiss and bless you in
evidence of her deathless love; when
the world shall despise and forsake
you, when it leaves you by the way
side to die unnoticed, the dear old
mother will gather you up in her
feeble arms and carry you home and
tell you Of all your virtues until you
almost forget your soul is distigurec
by vices.
What wonders might be wrought
in this land il each thought of a
mother tomorrow were to be &C.
companied by a quiet firm resolve
to put into daily use more OF the
patience and kindness that faith
and self-sacrifice and the heart in
terest which combine to vitalize this
most majestic yet simplest of all
loves. To- harbor such thought is
not to yearn for the impossible.
The very fact that these things have
vitalized mother-love into a most
potent of all earth forces justities q
belief that they could, il given o
chance, work real wonders in help
ing to extricate us from the increas-
ing maze of -materialism.
Surely it would be a very real way
of paying tribute to a mother
such determination to emphasize in
our daily lives the virtues which 60
