May 13 The am ount ol attention which has been at tracted to the rnnrmmu shipments oi njunttlons and rood muffs to the warring nations in Kurope has over shadowed the growth of American commerce In other fields, so it is somewhat surprising to find from fig ures which have ben recently com piled that the trade of the United States with South American coun tries during the past year has In creased about 1150,000,000 over that of 1S14. The increase In Imports! alone amounts to approximately 1100,-1 000.000 The principal articles brought Into the United stateB fromj South American countries during 191i consisted of coffee, cocoa and rubhi r from Brazil, wool from. Argen tina, and copper and Iron from Chin. The fresh beef and corn Imported from Argentina during 1916 unc ounted to less than half that of 1914. The total imports from South America during 1915 totalled $222, 000,000, while the value of the ex ports from the United States wa 1145,000,000, an increase over the year 1914 of the total trade with that, continent of $147,000,000. Another Interesting feature in the development of foreign trade Is the fact that dyej and dyestuffs are being received from new quarters of the world, owing to the embargo which England has plac ed on exports of dyes from Germany During recent months large Importa tions of dyes and dyestuffs have been received from China, which hereto fore has never supplied this country with these materials.

"Quality and Service" WE invite your inspection in our plant whether a custo mer or not, to see the modern and up-to-date way of handling your lin ens, which are given the most careful attention. "We Cater to the Public Telephone 173 Our automobile delivery will give you prompt service ed between representatives of the dif ferent orders of train operatives and officials of the railways regarding the demands of the labor men for an advance in wages which the railway officers ussert would cost the road and ultimately the public, nearly (1 0:,000,000, some interesting com parisons have been brought out. From this It appears that engineers and conductors who are the highest paid of all train operatives represent the real aristocracy of the working world. Whereas the worker In a steel mill receives only 100 a year on the av erage, the men who drive the loco motives enjoy a yearly income of $1750 on the average, according to figures contained in reports to the in terstate commerce commission, while many of them work six hours a day or less To workers in the leather, clothing and simalar trades with their long hours, yealy earnings of $480 to $800 and frequent protracted periods of idleness, the lot of the railway workers must seem to be fairly ideal. Conductors fare almost as well as the engineers, earning on the average $1420 u year with similar hours. Ev en the trainman who carries the red flag and calls out the names of sta tions In unintelligible terms draws over $1000 a year for this service Contrasting the yearly earnings ot these workers with the $500 which is the average yearly stipend of the country's lawyers, doctors and clergi -men, the conclusion must be drawn that the youthful ambition which fix es the locomotive cab or the red freight cuboose as its ultimate goal in preference to one of the learned professions is not altogether mis guided The police boat Patrol, tor almost twenty-five years the terror of pi rates along the river front of New York has been ordered sold bv the police commissioner and will be re-J placed by a new vessel which will be; the most modern police boat In the United States. When the Patrol was built In 18(3, there were few vessels engaged In depredations along the water front' which she csuld not ov erhaul. Late each night she would leave her wharf at the Battery and stealing up Xorth or East river with lights out frequently interrupted thieves in the act of removing parts j of cargoes and freight boats to their : own craft. So greatly was the Pa-j trol feared that frequently entries' would be posted at the Battery and ! when the Patrol would leave for her' nightly tour of inspection the guard Would telephone to his confederates the direction taken by the vessel. But her activities were not confined to this class of work alone. The rec-i cords show that she frequently met I returning excursion boats upon whicn fights had broken out and assisted in restoring order. There are also many instances where she braved stormy seas outside of Sandy Hook to rescue disabled pleasure nd fishing boats. The new boat will be 100 feet In length, motor driven and built on the lines of a torpedo boat destroyer, at taining a speed of 21 miles an hour With such a craft it will be possible to reach the most remote points on the city water front In half an hour. While the plan of Increasing the. army and navy of the United States and putting this country In a position to meet the aggressions of any for eign power, meets with the approval of the business men or this city, con siderable interest is manifested by them as to the manner in which the money Is to be raised to place the country In a state of preparedness. It j Is admitted by all that the sum re- quired for this purpose will run into! the hundreds of millions. Many sug.J gestions have been made by members of congress such as imposing a tax on gasoline, movng picture films, graphophone records and automobile tires, but the first definite step taken In this direction has been the intro duction of a bill In the house repeal ing the free sugar provision of th; tariff law which was enacted In 1911.. Since the letentlon or Hie Sugar duty is practically assured as the bill has become a party measure through ac tion by the democratic caucus, this simply mean.- that the government re tains $50,000,000 a year revenue which It Is now enjoying. It does not, however, lead to the solution of the problem of raising the additional rev enue required. New Yorkers are watching developments In congress on this subject with great interest be cause of intimations that they will be called upon to pay a large proportion of any amount that may be raised by special taxation. Considerable mystery Is attached to the ownership of the finest pearl necklace which ever reached this country, and possibly the finest in the world, which arrived at the port of New York recently. Its arrival was surrounded with secrecy, and the silence of the customs ortlcoials who examined It for appraisal was main tained even after news of Its arrival had leaked out. There are fiftj pearls in the string and it is estimat ed that It is worth $1,000,000. All the pearls are perfectly matched and ot wonderful size and lustre, and it is said that there is only one possible ri val in the world far first place am ong pearl collectors. The necklace was sent to this country by a noted London dealer and when the Jewelry trade of this city learned that it :ame from him, it led to the suspic ion that it was the same necklace which was stolen from the registered mail while In transit between London and Paris in 1913. This necklace was valued at that time at $625,000 and was only recovered after a re ward of $50,000 had been offered. It was picked up in the streets of Lon don by a poor laborer, and it is sup posed that the robbers, finding It im possible to dispose of the necklace on account of its fame, threw it away. While the Identity of the owner of the necklace which has Just arrived Is shrouded in mystery, It is safe to assume that one of the multi-millionaires of the country Is the purchaser Its Styl e THAT MAKES THE CUrTIIES. the lack of It mere body covering.
