The department pointed out that a large]

but nearly all other American countries
show larger exports.

"The world'fl commerce, as far as as
certainable," said the department’s state
ment, "approximated $40,000,000, U00 im
ports being: $21,000,000,000 and exports being
$19,000,000,000. The excess of $2,000,000,000 on
the Import side is accounted for. 1n part,
by the fact that many importing na
tions include in their import values the
costs of inland freight. Insurance • and
other charges and, in some degree, to the
(loser scrutiny of import values, which
frequently are the basis of customs reve
nue. Obviously, the figures have no ref
ert.nee to purchases by travelers and In
\ isible trade settlements, usually omitted
from statements of commerce, but neces
sarily constituting in an important fac
tor in the balance sheet of nations.
"The aggregate imports of the 75 prin
cipal countries and colonies of tire world
in 1912-13, were valued at $20,845,000,000 or
$2,147,000,000 more than their exports. In
this vast theatre of International trade
the United States plays an important
role, having bought 10 per cent of all
the goods which the leading nations ex
ported and having sold 14l* per cent of
the merchandise which they purchased in
the markets of the world.
"The United Kingdom had a foreign
trade of $6,830,000,000 Imports being $652,
000.000 in excess of all exports, domestic
and foreign. Germany in 1912 had a trade
of $5,069,000,000 imports being $449,000,000 in
excess of all exports. The United States
in the calendar year 1913 had a foreign
trade of $4,277,000,000 exports exceeding im
ports by $691,000,000. Canada’s imports
were nearly double the value of her ex
ports and France showed an excess of
imports of $293,000,000.
‘‘Considering the commerce of the Uni
ted States from 1790 to 1913 it is noted
that the aggregate excess of exports over
imports of merchandise in the 124 years
| in question was $8,312,000,000 and the ag
gregate excess of exports of gold and
silver over imports thereof. $1,609,000,000.
'In the 85 years prior to 1875 imports usu
ally exceeded exports of merchandise. Tn
the 40 years since 1874 exports have al
most invariably been larger than im
port a. Tn the movements of gold and
silver the balance of trade shifts more
frequently from one to the other side
of the ledger, and the last decade im
ports of specie have about equaled ex
ports."

Are You of the Housewife Variety m
Who Fears the Unexpected Guest? ■
By DOLL* UAI.RVMPI.lt |jj
Does the ringing of your front door hell
make the cold shivers run down your
back?
Do you dread even the coming of the
postman?"
And—
The “vegetable man" and the “chicken
man?”
Dots of housewives do. you know.
They are slaves to fright when the front
door bell rings.
Ti»e reason, of course, lies in the fact
that the average housewife is absolutely

unprepared to meet the emergencies that
the ringing of the front door bell pre
cedes.
Same thing li dds good when an unex
pected guest happens to “drop in" for
luj cheon or dinnei.
it upsets everybody in tire house, from
the cook to the housewife.
A morning call from a neighbor or a
dear friend is often fraught with anguish.
Now
Why rhould this be the case?
A house kept properly swept and dust
ed from day to day, conducted in a
business-like wny by the housewife and
run according to a >roper schedule, is
always ready for the reception of guests.
\\ hat. though, a few sheets of the morn
ing paper be scattered in the living room.
Or—
The children s playthings cover the tloor
or table?
If the rest of the house Is in order, the
sensible caller will overlook the?*1 small
details, knowing that it. is natural for
such things to happen.
These little trifles are not to he wor
ried about.
it is the housewife who does not keep
up the schedule, or who has none to
keep up, that goes into a panic every time
the door bell rings.
And—
day morning at 10 o’clock by Arthur
Jacobs and a number of witnesses have
been summoned.
The committees working to the end
that the Methodist university be lo
cated in Birmingham held a meeting
this afternoon in a private dining room
of the Bon Ton cab' and the total sub
scriptions reported amountd to $1206.60.
This, supplementary to $1000 already
given to Birmingham college by Dr.
T. K. Robinson and in reality makes
the donations $2206.50. The committee
hopes to # ive at tlcast $3000 by Tues
day night. Teams will be appointed to
work at Lipscomb and Brighton, and
it is expected that the team ni Blue
Cheek will be ready to make a report
by Saturday.
