MACHINE ORDERS
SWAMP FACTORIES
December Is Banner Month,
With Prospects Bright
for Next Year.
etecial Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, December 30.-From
practically every industrial center Of
the country comes word that Decena-
Der was the banner month Of a good
year and that prospects for the first
quarter Of 1887 are very bright, says
American Machinist.
Distributor after distributor reports
that his of1ce has been practically on
the old World War basis for six weeks
in an endeavor to take care of orders
and inquiries received.
Price increases for several lines OF
machine tools scheduled for the first
part Of January have unquestionably
had some effect in stimulating the
placing Of orders in December, but
there is feeling in the trade that
buyers are so badly in need of equip
ment that they will continue to place
orders regardless of prices. On the
other hand, several distributors re-
port vigorous objection to the price
increases on the basis that they are
unjustified at the present time.
The Eastern territory is extremely
active, according to reports from Bos-
ton. New York and Philadelphia dis
tributors whose statesmen cover this
region. December has been the big
gest month since the War and 1t is
expected that 1887 will maintain this
pace. Plenty of orders and inquiries
are keeping Pittsburgh distributors on
the jump and they expect the rush
to continue. Labor trouble Is expected
before very long.
In Cleveland 1t is expected that
1887 will be period Of good volume
despite labor trouble and legislative
handicaps, but it is question whether
profits will rise with volume. Decem-
Der was the best month of the year
and there is some thought that short
lull may succeed 1t.
Detroit says that optimism Is gen.
eral in that part Of the country. Much
good business has been placed with
machine tool distributors and more
Is in prospect. There Is some pessim-
ism over the threat of labor trouble.
Machine tool orders are coming into
Cincinnati offices on a war basis,
There is no labor trouble at the mo-
ment, but there Is an expectation that
it may not be far in the future. Long
deliveries are initiating against the
dealers.
In st. Louis the year is going out
with a whirl. December being much
the best month of the year. Distribu-
tors there are decidedly optimistic
on 1887. Chicago takes an equally op-
timistic view of the first quarter of
1887. and so does Milwaukee. Busi-
ness generally seems to have increased
about 80 per cent over 1885 and prom
ises to increase another 80 per cent
next year.

OUTLOOK BRIGHT
IN OIL INDUSTRY
Whether Advance in Crude
Will Be Followed by Ma
jors Is Uncertain.

By the Associated Press.
TULSA, Okla, December 30.-Clear
and sunny, meteorologically speak
ing, Is the 1887 business horizon Of the
petroleum industry.
Almost without exception, Its lead
ers agree the many-sided business
faces its best prospects in history.
Just one cloud, in the immediate
foreground Of the picture. has oil men
concerned today. That Is whether the
17-cent advance In crude prices, de-
creed by Continental and effective
January 4, will be followed by other
major companies.
Barnsdall Follows.
Barnsdall followed ContinentaPs
lead. Predictions a month ago were
that other companies would await
action of regulatory bodies in set
ting January allowables.
There were forecasts here some ma
jors would meet only part Of the
Continental increase. One authority
predicted confidently that a general
rise of IL cents in the Continent
would be posted by major companies
within few days"
This followed the posting Of Is
cent increase Monday on four grades
Of crude in the Eastern area.

ever since their invasion of e

in abusing young girls, married
women, and even the nuns in con-
vents.
"Since their arrival in Adds A
bahia they have become much
worse. Ten or twelve italian sol
diers would get hold of any e
thiopian woman and abuse her in
turn in such way that many mai
dens and young women have died
as the result.
"In the early days of their oc-
cupation of Adds Ababa many of
the Italian soldiers contracted sy-
philis and gonorrhea from some
low-class women and suffered YER
v severely. Seeing this the Italian
High Command has forced all the
women to be examined by doctors
before they were subjected to a.
buse.
No Woman Safe In Her Home
Amy Italian soldier can go into
any Ethiopian's house as often as
he pleases and abuse his wife and
daughter.

If ever two or more persons are
seen together the italian Carabin-
Teri go to their homes at nightfall
and arrest them while they are

be brought before the italian judi

"Those who are sentenced to

they were arrested or imprisoned.
After a few days they would be
banished to some remote place
like Assab or Mogadishu and no.
thing would be heard of them af-
TOR that. In this way fathers
would be separated from their
families forever without any sub
stantial reason.
Wives Are Prosecuted
"The Italians have driven out
all the wives and children of the
Philippians who followed His Ma
jesty the Emperor when he left
Ethiopia, and have given their
houses to italian officers.
"They have also taken many of
the houses belonging to Ethio-
plans who are still in their coun-
try and lived in the houses. An
Italian officer would just &c into

FIGHT
TUBERCULOSIS

culosis League does go one step
further, however, so that it tries
to run down the cause of the di-
sease so that it will not spread
to other individuals, who might
not be fortunate enough to discov-
er it until too late for effective
cure"
Work of the tuberculosis
League is carried on with the CO.
operation of the Pierce County
Medical Association, City and
County Health Departments, Pub
lie Health Nursing Association and
the City and County School Health
Departments.
It is the aim of the 1886 Seal
sale that enough money will be
raised to give many more students
in public and private schools the
tuberculin test during 1887 who
have not had it within the past
six years.
The only revenue for support of
the Leagues work comes from its
sale of seals each year at Christ
mas time. The seals bring one
cent each and remittances should
be sent to your local chairman,
or, if you live in Tacoma, to the
Christmas Seal Headquarters, at

The Art of Being A Guest

The Art of Being A Guest
Having accepted an invitation,
one assures certain obligations.
The first is punctuality. If the
invitation is for luncheon, dinner,
or bridge" one should arrive five
to ten minutes before the hour set.
It is equally bad to arrive too ear
ly or too late.
1t is the duty of every guest to
enter into the spirit of the occas-
ion and do his best to make the
party a success. If one is feeling
"out of sorts, 1t is far better to
phone regrets, rather than cast a
shadow over the whole gathering
by ones spirit of gloom. The po-
pular guest is the one who fits in
with he other guests. One should
show an interest in the CONVERSE
tiop and do ones share in starting
new topics that is one of interest
to all.
Never notice any irregularity in
the working of the household. An
outsider can seldom help in settl-
ing family affair.
II a hostess has prepared the
meal, it is gratifying to her to
have a guest mention the excel
lence of a certain dish. Otherwise
it is not considered good forn to
discuss the merits of the food one
is eating.
At the close of a meal, guest
stays but half an hour unless ask
ed to spend the evening. In leav-
ing, one should take leave of botl
host and hostess, expressing plea
sure in having been invited. It is
not necessary to say goodbye to
all the ether guests, but just bow
slightly to those still in the room
It is customary for all guests to
leave when the first one leaves.
The lady guest of honor is usually
the first one to leave, although if
the hour is late, it is proper for
one of the other ladies to rise to
leave.
While calling is not considered
as all-important as it was at one
time, one should make call after
a first dinner invitation.
One should return a dinner wifi
a dinner, a bridge with bridge.
A newcomer in town should
follow these formal customs until
she is certain of local customs. 1t
is customary to call on a newcom-
er before inviting her to your own
home. The older residents should
always be the first one to extend
an invitation.
