According to the annual report of mill construction for 1907 In the Tex tile world-Record, there were 262 mill built in the United States In that year as compared with 303 In the pre ceding year. r There was an Increase In the num ber of new silk mills, but cotton, woolen, and knitting each showed de crease. The shortnge of skilled help that prevailed up to almost the end of the year Is given as the reason for the slackening In new mill construction. Hearly 70 per cent of the spindles In the cotton mills are reported from the south, where the record was practi cally the same a in 1906. The south and New England claim all but 10,000 of the 418,000 cotton spindles, and all but 100 of the 13,524 cotton looms. New England and the middle stated have 21 of the new woolen and worst ed mills. The middle states have 49 of the S3 knitting mill. Three states, Pennsylvania, New York and New . Jersey, have 41 of the 67 silk mills, , i "MY ITS FIUITS." The army anti-canteen law became effective In J901 and the following record speaks for Itself: Judge. Advocate Davis of Wushlng ton, D. C, who has charge of all gen eral courts martial in the army, re ports that In 1900 there were 1845 courts martial fur drunkenness. In 1901 there 145R; 1902, 960; 1903, 811; 1904, 616; 1905, 608; 1906, 504; 1907, 47. These figures, which are offi cial, speuk for themselves, and ex pose the absurdity of the claim that "the operation of the anti-canteen luw has Increased dmikenness" and courts . martial. HX'MAN 1IAIK KHOM J.U'AX. 'The British commercial attache at Yokohama has written a report on the subject of the Japanese export trade In human hnlr. which Is an Industry of recent growth In Japan. The total export In 1904 amounted to n little over $1000,, but In ,1906 the total reached 160,000. Although this rapU! rate of progress whs nut maintained during 1907, yet the Industry was-well sustained. The hair exported is nil black In color and rather course and consists almost entirely of the comb ings of women of the lower dnssc.
