The Ladies' Aid of the Presbyterian church held its regular monthly m eeting at the beautiful Ocean ave nue home of its president, Mrs. O. H. Bartle last Tuesday afternoon.

Tile committee of arrangem ents will spare no trouble in m aking tills one of the most enjoyable events of the season. All are cordially Invited — p a rticularly any who have not heretofore had an opportunity to a t test the capabilities and m erits of the good ladies, culinary efforts. Tin- prayerful attitude and expres sion of Fanning Baldwin caused a number of his friends to make in quiry as to its cause. The first in terrogatory propounded elicited the information that the recent visit of the stork, who left a beautiful little girl at their home, did not name the particular brand of food to be given and after careful experim ent it is found that nothing but angel’s food will answer. Plans and specifications are out for sealed bids on the construction of a new fire house. The departm ent is anxious to break groud as soon as the weather will permit. How much of the Increased business in American products abroad is d u6 to tlie w a r? Officials of the Wilson Adm inistration m aintain that comparatively little of the great increase in exports is due to war orders and th a t the country’s present proeperity is not based on tem p orary conditions. Export figures for 1914 and 1915 are now available and a study of them will help every reader to reach an Intelligent conclusion as to whether our present volume of business is due to war orders or not. The following table based on the figures In the m onthly summary of foreign commerce shows an increase of exports due solely to the European w ar of $785,014,062. The figures are for the fiscal years ending June 30, 1914, and 1915: 1914. Animals . . Breadstuffs . . Automobiles . . Chemicals . . . Explosives . . .

The shipm ent of explosives increased from $7,000,000 In 1914 to $ 135,000,000 In 1915, horses and mules from $10,000,000 to $1 10,000,000, firearms from $4,- 000,000 to $1 1,000,000 and so on, showing that, with the continuance of the w ar and the inability of the European nations engaged in the struggle to supply the enormous requirem ents in the way of food, clothing, equip ment and ammunition, there have come Increasing demands for American products. In the face of these figures It is idle for anyone to deny that the great hulk of the Increased business In this country is directly due to the E u ro pean war. When the war is over this enormous export business is going to shrink. No one is in position to guarantee that it will stop shrinking when it gets down to the 1914 basis, and In 1914, before the outbreak of the war. this country was facing an industrial crisis. Commercially and Industrially this country is totally unprepared— under the Underwood-Simmons free trade tariff law— to face the conditions th a t are certain to follow the cessation of hostilities abroad. No time should be lost in putting the country in a state of pre paredness. NO PAINTER’S COLIC FOR HIM Bill For “Tin t ' ' Makes Bachelor Issur Leap Y e a r Declaration. p Klwuod, X. J. Robert W.
