U. S. TRADE IN SOUTH AMERICA SHOIVSGROWTH Must Prepare to Meet Keen After-War Competition, Says Sanger. (By Associated Press) NEW YORK. Dec. 28 United States manufacturers and exporters have increased their trade in Brazil and other South American countries by more than 16Q per cent since the beginning of the war, according to J. W. Sanger, Trade Commissioner of the United States government bureau of foreign and domestic commerce who recently returned from a survey of the business 'opportunities south of the equator. "Imagine ten large stores in one big city and one of these stores doing . more business than all the other nine combined," declared Mr. Sanger, "and that will give you some Idea of the position we are in today. It Is an amazing record. We are now selling South American countries more than half of everything they import. Our total export trade is now counted in billions of dollars."

The commissioner said that "with; the signing of a peace treaty a practical certainty within six months or a year. It Is not a day too soon to begin making definite plans to meet the keen competition in foreign trade that must come almost Immediately." The hundreds of millions of dollars invested in new factories and ships, be said, mean that America must find fresh outlets for her enterprise and industry. Need Freight Service. "We need more and better direct representation of our manufacturers in the Important trade centers of Brazil and other South American countries," he said. "This may come about through taking the fullest advantage of the new Webb Export Trade Act or in other practical ways. "We also need a fast and regular freight service to every important port of Latin America," said Mr. Sanger. "Without it we will be as crippled as a department store that depends upon casual messenger boys to make its deliveries. Then again we must be prepared to meet the actual needs of these countries regarding the extension of credits. "We have scarcely even begun to use advertising in South America," continued Mr. Sanger. "I have unmistakable evidence that the people of that country respond amazingly even to the crude forms of advertising now offered them there. "Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, has splendid newspapers with circulations ranging around 150,000 dally. Brazilian dailies have proven excellent mediums for advertising. "The biggest thing that could happen to advertising down there would be for broad-gauged American advertising men, to take more Interest In it. These countries await the stimulus of American advertising genius properly adjusted to meet their needs. But let the American advertising men put this in their note books, Spanish is the language of all South America except Brazil, where Portugese is spoken. Brazilians are offended if you write or speak to them in Spanish." New Paris, Ohio Mr. and Mrs. W. F.

German republic at foot of Bismarck Germany. But the picture shows to what extent this has come about. The soldiers' and workmen's council is now in control of affairs. The picture shows the populace crowding before the reichstag to has been higher than ever before. Normally there are fewer men asking for admission than women but this year the reverse is true. No application has been offered. Thirty thousand dollars of the maintenance appropriation is needed at once. There is an increase of 28 percent in the cost of subsistence supplies this year over last, an increase of 30 percent in fuel and household supplies and 50 percent i in coal. An engineer to make a survey for a new power plant is asked for. Poultry Raising Comfortable quarters should be furnished the pullets as soon as they are ready to start laying. The poultry house is both the home of the hen and the factory where winter eggs are produced. Unless it provides suitable living and working conditions the lieu can not accomplish satisfactory results, says T. B. Townsley, of the University of Missouri College of Agriculture. Comfort is the important essential of a poultry house. To provide comfort tho house must be dry, well lighted, and well ventilated, and have sufficient floor space to furnish exercise by scratching. It must also contain sleeping quarters that are clean, well ventilated and yet free from drafts. All these Conditions can be met in one room, thus economizing in theexpense of building. Ventilation in a poultry house is secured by leaving the south side rela.i 1.- n J 1.: a i il sides tight. Thi3 provides plenty of fresh air without drafts. Where pos sible, light should be admitted from all sides. This prevents dark corners and eliminates the nuisance of having the litter all scratched to one side, which occurs when light is secured from only one direction. Exercise is insured by keeping the floor covered with several inches of straw, and feeding all grain in this litter. The roostj ing quarters should be compact and comfortable. They can be made easy catch the night! station Circular SO.

GLASSES were invented a great many years ago, the eyes in construction are the same today, but the glasses have changed. The science of glass fitting has steadily advanced, until now we are able to grind glasses to correct all defects of vision and these defects are many and of varied forms. Few persons have perfect eyes, an eye which is not perfect is an annoyance to the brain, the eye and the brain are very intimately c o n n e c ted. When eyes differ we have unequal vision which causes headaches and nervousness, these are symptoms of eye strain. We correct unequal vision with lenses scientifically made. Optical lenses are made from scientifically made glass, except in cheap glasses, in these the glass is made the same as for windows. We use pure and faultless crystals only.

HOUSING PROBLEM BEFORE ENGLAND

(By Associated Press) ' LONDON, Dec. 28. One of the unusual plans suggested for bridging the transition period while England Is being changed from s war to a peace basis, is a proposal that the government should build houses and either sell them on long time payments or furnish them outright, particularly to the soldiers. England Is wrestling with many of the same housing schemes that were put forward In the United States when thousands of workmen were called to centers of war activities. In the opinion of Sir J. Tudor Walters, a member of parliament who has given much thought to housing, England faces a shortage of 500,000 houses In addition to her normal requirements of 100,000 new ones annually. Thousands in the building trades have gone into other work as all building operations ceased when the war started. Materials are at exhorbltant figures or unobtainable. It Is much more difficult for a prospective small house owner to finance construction than it was four and, a half years ago. One of the plans suggested is that the government pay the householder the difference between what his house will cost to construct immediately after peace is declared and its estimated value five years hence. Any plan that will result in large expenditures of public money will be met with considerable opposition among members of the government. This was made very clear when a statement was made in the House of Commons that the government should give all war-workers a six-months holiday with full pay as a means of solving the tremendous problem of changing England from a war to a I Deace basis. At least one member of the government, referring to that a! statement, said that the government could not undertake any gigantic financial obligation in its effort to bridge the transition period as quickly and efficiently ' as possible.
