SEVERE TESTS
Prominent Display to Include All
Phases of Plant From Raw Ma
terial to Finished Product.
At. a meeting of the cotton products
committee of the Manufacturers’ Ex
position Association yesterday morn
ing the Atlanta Chamber of Com
merce took steps toward the estab
lishment In the new Chamber of Com
merce Building of the largest and
most complete permanent exhibition
of cotton and cotton products In the
world.
It Is proposed to devote an entire
floor of the new Chamber of Com
merce Building to this exhibit. It will
show cotton and cotton products of all
kinds In every phase from the grow
ing plant to the finished product. Soil,
fertilizer, the proper planting and cul
tivation of cotton will all be shown
as a sort of a prologue to the otheT
exhibits. Cotton lint and all Its va
rious products will be shown and the
processes explained. Fifty different
kinds of cotton cloth and similar
products will be shown. The cotton
seed will be taken up In the same
way, and all its products and by
products exhibited, Including hulls,
meal, crude oil, fine oil, cooking oil,
soap, etc.
Complete exhibits of this kind have
been temporarily established at some
of the great world’s expositions be
fore, but this is the first proposal to
establish a permanent one. The ex
hibit w'lll be in connection with the
Merchants and Manufacturers’ Expo
sition. The committee meeting at
which the protect was put under way
was attended by Chairman M. R. Wil
kinson, W. M. Hutchinson, W. H.
Bchroder and H. E. Watkins, who rep
resented E. P. McBurney.
A subcommittee was appointed,
with Mr. Hutchinson as chairman and
Messrs. Schroder and Watkins mem
bers. This committee will discuss the
details necessary to raising money by
subscription and getting up the ex
hibit. and will report back to the
cotton products committee at 4 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon. They will confer
with the cotton crushers and oil mill
men In the meantime, and the cotton
spinners will be invited to attend the
Tuesday meeting
Special invitations to attend this
meeting will be extended to Commis
sioner of Agriculture J. I). Price.

Raw Silks Higher;
Canton Stock Small
Advancing Prices Recorded Both in
Eastern and European Markets.
Buyers Busy.
“The Yokohama raw silk market Is
still advancing on account of good buy
ing from both Europe and this coun
try,” said A P. Villa * Bros., In thelf
special report. “Canton Is very firm,
and the stock there Is reported to be
very small. Estimates of the fourth
cron place it at 6.000 bales
’’Lower prices for tsatlees and steam
filatures at Shanghai have attracted a
large number of buyers and that market
Is stiffening up again as a result. Tus-
&ahs remain unchanged European man
ufacturers are buying Italian silks well,
and reelers are taking a decidedly opti
mistic view of the future. Higher prices
are expected at Milan shortly.
“The settlement of the strike at Pat
erson has resulted in some buying at
New York The market Is quiet, hut
firm generaJly.”
GEORGIA APPLE~CROP
CONDITION PUT AT .52
The Government’s report on the ap
ple crop in Georgia for July follows:
For the year 1913, 52 per cent; 1912,
64 per cent; 1911, 40 per cent.
Habersham County reports that
apples promise 75 per cent normal
yield, which is 50 per cent more than
last. year. Probably 12 cars will be
shipped, mostly Bens. Wine saps and
Terrys. Fruit Is of better quality
than last year. As the orchards are
young not many apples have been
•hipped.
Electrical manufacturers and other
users of mica are exercised over the
action of the Senate Finance Com
mittee In inserting in the pending tar
iff bill a provision raising the duty on
mica above the rates provided In tin
measure as It was passed by the
House of Representatives. Under the
tariff act of 1897, and under that of
1909, the present law’, complaint has
been rmide that, the duty on rough mi
ca, approximating 4.000 per cent, was
both unfair and absurd, especially In
view of the fact that ten times as
much mica is used here as can be pro
duced In this country. As amended
by the Senate, the pending tariff bill
will provide for practically no reduc
tion of the duty on the product.
A representative of one of the larg
est electrical manufacturing concerns
in the United States said that the
blame for increasing the duty on mica
in the Senate rests on Senator Sim
mons, chairman of the Finance Com
mittee. Most of the mica produced in
this country, he rays, is found in the
Senator’s own State, North Carolina.
As an evidence of the injustice of the
prevailing, and proposed, rates of du
ty on mica in the rough, a recent test
case was cited. This case involved
Importations from Canada. The Judges
of both the Board of General Apprais
ers and of the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals, while confirming
the high assessment, condemned the
hardship imposed on importers by
such an unreasonable duty. Tele
grams have been sent by many of
the electrical manufacturers to their
Senators asking that the Simmons
amendment be dropped from the bill
now before the Senate, and that the
rates In the Underwood bli), or low’er
rates, be substituted.
Silk Handbags Are
Replacing Leather
Knitted Girdles Three Yards Long
and Eight Inches Wide Also
Are Featured.
The fancy goods and notions trade
reports general activity. Buyers now
in the market are ordering freely and
prices are about, the same as pre
vailed last season.
Knitted girdles in high colors, about
three yards long and eight Inches
wide, are being featured. Cape-girdle
effects In solid colors are also well
thought of. One Importer says that
silk handbags in color combinations
would largely replace leather varie
ties, although a good selling move
ment Is reported in the latter In the
new envelope-shape bags.
Another leather bag shown Is cir
cular in shape and has a single pan
nier handle In the center. A new
style in belts is the wide seven-inch
girdle effect, fastened with one large
buckle or two smaller ones. NTew
bead necklaces are 27 Inches long and
are shown In coral and amber. Ban
deaux of aluminum and others with
beaded and rhinestone effects are
leading features among the newer
hair ornaments.
Detours ou Hartford
Greenfield Route
An Automobile Club of America
road car has Just traversed the main
route from Hartford, Conn., to Green
field. Mass., and the crew reports poor
going, the road undergoing construc
tion at four different places.
Leaving Hartford, rough and worn
macadam Is followed for seven mllop.
Here the road is under construction
for one mile, but Is open on the sld *.
Fair macadam, with short rutted
stretches. Is encountered to Windsor
Locks. Mostly good macadam, with
some rough spots, leads to Spring-
field. The next nine and one-ha‘f
miles to Holyoke Is fair macadam and
followed along the Connecticut River
a worn stretch about one mile long.
From Holyoke good macadam is
to Mount Tom, and from Mount Tom
to Northampton the road Is entire f
closed and will not be open all sum
mer. A detour is necessary over
rough dirt and worn macadam via
Easthampton. Now comes three miles
of rough and worn macadam, and
then a detour is necessary over a rut
ted sandy road to Hatfield. Bight
miles of good macadam is then fol
lowed to South Deerfield, where a de
tour is made over a poor sandy road-
to Hatfield. Eight miles of good
macadam is then followed to South
Deerfield, w here a detour is made
over a poor sandy road to M apping.
Retailers Know No Limit in Ask
ing for Credit on Returned
Goods.
According to one of the best known
knit goods wholesalers, there is ap
parently nothing in the way of ille
gitimate business that is not done in
that field. To illustrate how things
went on there, he cited the following
insta nces:
”A small local retailer came into
this store the othe r day with eighteen
dozen pairs of hose that he had
bought from us about January 1 of
last year, and which had actually lain
on his shelves since the middle of
February, 1912. Apparently without
the least sense of doing anything out
of the ordinary he told me that the
goods were rotten and that he was
returning them and wanted credit.
He would not accept my side of the
matter at all, and when J refused to
credit him for the goods be vowed
that he was through buying from us.
The goods were rotten, all right.
They were in perfect condition when
they left us, but we were unable to
convince him that Wf> were not re
sponsible for their condition after
they had lain on his shelves for sev
enteen months.
“In another instance ft case of ho
siery was returned to us with the
complaint that they were not line toe
sample from which they were sold.
It happened, however, that these
samples had been taken from the
very case which was shipped him
after the sale waamade, had been re
turned to the cu#, and shipped with
the balance of the goods. There w’as
absolutely no Justification for the
claim made, but the account being
very good, we could do nothing but
take the goods back.
“Here Is another case: Late last
season we bought a heavy bill of silk
hose from a prominent New England
manufacturer at $7.50 a dozen, which
was a good reduction from the manu
facturer’s regular price. The goods
did not move well, however, and, get
ting a chance to dispose of fifty
dozen of them to a retailer in the
Middle West, I made a price of $6.75
on them. 1 was willing to lose 75
cents a dozen to get from under.’
Imagine my surprise to-day, when I
got a letter from this retailer saying
that we were in error on the price we
had billed him. He maintained that
the salesman had made the price
$6.50. To settle the rratter in as
friendly a way as possible he notified
me that he could get the same hose
from another source at $6, and sug
gested that I tell him by return mail
that this price would he satisfactory
to me. The goods are now on the
way back to New York, and that ac
count is crossed off the books.”
Shadow and Oriental
Laces Lead Market
Regular Embroidery Lines Opening
Well, as Are Many of the
Novelties.
NEW YORK, Aug 9.—-Fall buying In
the lace and embroidery market is open
ing well, and dealers expect a good sea
son. On acount of light duplicating
during the spring, orders are being
booked at satisfactory rates, making the
merchandise very tempting to buyers.
Most trading done so far has been with
merchants in tin* region from Denver
west to the coast, although buyers from
the Middle West art* coming In.
Many novel effects in lace are shown,
and reported to be taking well. Light-
weight shadow and Oriental effects In
a Hovers and flounces are also in demand
Regular embroidery lines are opening
well, as are the many novelties in
various designs of Swiss embroidery in
edgings and sets. The high-color Bal
kan effects are pot moving strongly with
the dealers this season.

Evasion Simple Through Sending
Goods Abroad Again and Re
importing Them.
NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—Few of the
importers owning the seventy-odd
million dollars’ worth of merchandise
that is now lying in bonded ware
houses In this city w’altlng the pas
sage of the Underwood-Simmons tar
iff bill regard seriously the amend
ment offered by Senator Sutherland,
of Utah, to make these goods dutia
ble on entrance at the rates prevail
ing under the present law.
There is a strong feeling that the
amendment will never be taken up
for serious consideration oy Con
gress, There is a stronger feeling
that If it should be passed by any
chance It would prove Inadequate to
do the work that was intended for it
by Its sponsor.
To justify the first contention it is
pointed out that never in the history
of the country has any merchandise
brought in under a new tariff been
dutiable at the rates of the old. To
prove the second. It is argued that,
the goods never having been entered
and no duties paid on them, It w’lll be
a comparatively easy matter to ex
port them to their original shipping
point, or some foreign port nearer by,
and reimport them under the new
rates.
This is nn especially attractive way
of “beating” the measure for import
ers who bring in goods on which the
duties are lowered sharply In the new
bill.
Discussing this phase of the ques
tion, E. H. Van Ingen, of E. H. Van,-
Ingen & Co., importers of woolens,
said yesterday.
“On every thousand dollars' worth
of woolen goods, foreign cost, the du
ty under the present law is over $900.
Under the Underwood-Simmons bill
the duty would be $350. What would
the loss of time for three weeks and
the cost of two freights amount to
compared w'ith the $550 saved by ex
porting and reimporting the goods?”
The following Is the way one spe
cific case of reimporting would work
out. In figuring It a foreign invoice
covering a shipment of several cases
of w'oolen goods was chosen:
The foreign invoice value of the
goods in question was $4,055, and the
original freight charge on them was
slightly over $75. The duty on them
under the pre.sent act (based on an
average duty of 90 per cent) would
be $3,649.50, making the full landing
cost $7,779.50. If brought In under
the new tariff at a duty of 35 per
cent, the tax would he $1,419.25 and
the full landing cost would be $6,-
549.25, or a saving of $2,230.25. If
the goods now' entered In bond w r ere
exported and shipped back to this
country under the new tariff, this sav
ing would be diminished only by
about $150 for freight and some inci
dental warehousing charges.
On bulky goods, which would mean
greater freight charges.-and on goods
where the reduction in duty is not
great, this method of avoiding the
power of the Sutherland measure
would not result in savings so great
as those in the illustration, but in
any event the importers see little rea
son for worry in the Senator’s at
tempt to save the Government several
million dollars in revenue that would
be lost under the present provisions
of the new r tariff.
Small Rubber Tires
For Teething Babes
G. A. Sohl, manager of the local
branch of the Republic Rubber Com
pany, is distributing a novel souvenir
among the automobile owners of At
lanta. It is a miniature Staggard
Tread Republic tire. The tire is about
five inches in diameter and can be
worn as a watch fob or makes a
very serviceable paperweight.
Mr. Sohl recommends the little tire
very highly as a teething ring for
babies, claiming that his two little
In view of the widespread agita
tion against child labor, interest at
taches to a recent report by Consul
Franklin D. Hale at Huddersfield,
England, on a plan providing educa
tion and employment for children at
The same time:
“On© of the English district factory
inspectors reports specially in regard
to half-time labor ofr childrtn of
school age, taking one* instance of a
school In connection with a textile
factory where 35 children attend
school tw'o and a half hours daily and
work in the mill five hours, with a
complete rest every alternate week
after 3 p. m. and from Friday until
9 a. m. the following Monday. The
inspector noted the bright, healthy
and intelligent appearance of the chil
dren. and says:
" ‘The schoolmistress informed me
that these children made as much
progress in their education as the or
dinary full-time scholars and inva
riably earned the full Government
grant which depends both on attend
ance and scholarship, and obtained
very good reports from the inspector
of schools. They are necessarily very
regular in their school attendance,
because lost attendance has to be
made up before they can renew their
work at the mill. The fact that they
earn $1.10 a week probably accounts
for their being better fed and clothed
than other children of the same
class.* ’*

Trading in better grade carpets and

Unique Auto Record
By Denver Concern
As an indication of the constant im
provement of the automobile business,
the Willys-Overland Company, of To
ledo, Ohio, points to the record estab
lished by its Denver distributor, the
Overland Auto Company, during the
season of 1913. The western concern’s
original order for 1913 Overlands called
for 400 cars, but within a very short
time after the announcement of the
model this was increased to 500, with a
request that if possible it was to be al-
lowed 100 additional cars.
Because of the gr eat demand for Over
lands. the extra allotments could not be
made. On July 4 the factory received
word from Denver that but 23 '‘of the
500 Overlands remained unsold.
"These will be gone long before the
new cars com#. We will need a greatly
increased allotment for 1.914 and are tell
ing you about it this early so that we
will not be overlooked.” wrote W. J.
Carter, of the Denver firm.
HERE IS BEST WAY TO APPLY A
TIRE.
Before applying tires, remove rust
and all other foreign matter. If the
tire has been ridden deflated at any
time, mud may have accumulated on
the rim and unless this is removed
the tire can not adjust itself properly.
Soapstone dusted on the rim will act
as a lubricant and make it much
easier for the tire beads to slip into
their correct position, thereby reduc
ing the danger of pinching the inner
tube.
Before placin^lhe inner tube inside
of case, inflate Just enough to round
it out. Do not use a tube of the wrong
size and be sure that the spreader
of the valve is adapted for the par
ticular type of case, whether regular
clincher, quick detachable clincher or
Q. D.' cable base. Dust tube and in
side of case with talc, which will re
duce the friction and prevent adhe
sion of the tube to case after heated
in service. If too much talc is used,
however, and any water should work
its way on t^e inside of the tire, there
is danger of grit and attending injury
to the tube. Powdered graphite is not
quite so nice to handle as talc but is
a much more durable lubricant.
English Engineer Says Americans
Are Neglecting Profitable and
Growing Close Market.
A big market for certain lines of
goods of American manufacture is
lying undeveloped in Peru, according
to Richard T. Hird, sanitary engineer
for the Provincial Council of Callao.
Mr. Hird says that a demand has
sprung up for all sorts of sanitary
materials and appliances, and that
absolutely no attempt has been made
by American manufacturers to cater
to it.
Mr. Hird. who is an Englishman,
has been working on the new water
and sewage works of the port of Cal
lao. which have just been completed.
Every coast town in Peru, he says, is
getting ready for the opening of the
Panama Canal, and the whole country
expects tremendous benefits from the
completion of the great waterway.
“Callao has been making provision
for the commerce which it is believed
will come to It,” said Mr. Hird. “The
improvements which have just been
finished are based on a population of
50,000. At the present time there are
about 34,000 inhabitants.
Ships Not To Be Delayed.
“Now’ the authorities are started on
a general clearing up of the town, in
fact, of all the coast towns. It is
realized that ships must be able to
proceed straight from Callao to Pan
ama without having to be delayed by
long stops in quarantine.
“One thing the city of Callao itself
is about to do is to put in modern
street paving and a modem slaughter
house, the latter with a capacity of
45,000 cattle per annum. Most of the
animals that will be slaughtered here
will be Peruvian or Chilean eattle,
which w'ill come to Callao from the
smaller ports to the south.
Sanitary Materials Needed.
“While there is a good number of
Englishmen and Americans down
there, there is now’ a distinct trend
of Germans to the country. What I
would like to see now is something
like active appreciation on the part
of American manufacturers of san
itary materials, and of the great op
portunity Peru now presents for tho
sale of their products. There is a
great dearth of sanitary material to
be had in the country. There is a
first-class opportunity down there
now’ for sanitary wares of various
kinds. The Government is insistent
that sanitary works be installed, and
no matter which party has been in
office, we have never had any diffi
culty in getting money to prosecute
the works we have been carrying
on. We are carrying a loan of $500,-
000 furnished mainly by French. Peru
vian. and English capitalists. Most of
the piping material for general work
we have been using has been of Eng
lish manufacture, though w'e have had
to get not a little from Austria. We
have installed a hydro-pneuinatic
pumping station for getting rid of the
sewage, which Is assembled in two
distinct sections and thrown out on
two sides < f the town, thence going
by gravity to the sea.
"There is a big chance down there
for some American company that
would like to undertake the repaving
of cities. Not only the whole city of
Callao is to ba repaved, but other
towns will make similar improve
ments.”
CROPS DOING WELL.
COLUMBUS, GA.. Aug. 2.—The con
dition of crops has improved wonder
fully during the past ten days, since the
rainy weather began. "Where It was
thought impossible to make a crop of
corn, planted early, It now looks as
the yield will be heavy, while late corn
Is doing remarkably well. Throughout
30 counties embraced in the Columbus
territory. It 13 considered that the rains

materially, and that where It. was at
least two weeks late prior to the rains,

CUBISTS IN MILLINERY FIELD.
Cubist roses are the new’est thing
in the millinery world. These are
silk flowers with square petals and
foliage. Part of the rose is in one
color and the rest of another shade.
The color schemes are varied, and
various shadings are grouped, some
times harmoniously and sometimes in
a way to create a clash of colors.
The cubist wing has also made its
appearance, and some observers look
for a season of “square” millinery
ornamentation.
NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—Manufactur.
ers of kid gloves are experiencing
trouble making deliveries, as the fall
selling has greatly exceeded expecta
tions. One maker says his sales were ,
double those of 1912. Lamb skins are
scarce and high, necessitating large
advances. Kid skins are plentiful, but
no lower. Raw materials here are
thought to be fairly well sold up.
On account of the tariff bill, it is

said that strikes are prevalent in Eu
rope, the strikers w’apting to share
the increased profits made possible by
the lower tariff. According to another
dealer, if the bill is not passed by
September 15 the losses to manufac
turers in America W’ill be heavy. Im
porters are unwilling to deliver goods
and stand any advance in tariff, and
retailers will v not take merchandise
unless they get the benefit of any
downward revision.
Road business coming into the fab
ric glove market for 1914 shows a con
siderable increase over last year, the
demand for lisle and chamoisette
goods being especially large. White
goods are most in demand, but there
is little or no activity In colors.
Plan to Mark Sizes
On Shoes Is Opposed
Most Retailers Appear to Prefer Code
Instead of Plain Figures
and Letters.
Shoe manufacturers and retailers have
joined in a movement to have sizes and
widths marked In shoes by a plain and
uniform system.
There is api»arently a litLe reluctance
on the part of the retailers to abandon
wholly the system of "blind” or code
maikings, which mean nothing to the
ultimate consumer, in favor of the sys
tem of plain markings, with the various
sizes and widths indicated by numerals
and letters.
The national organization of retailers
has adopted resolutions favoring uni
formity, but also asking the manufac
turers "to select the most practical code,
preferably the one most commonly used
at this time, as a general code for re
tailers, who prefer to have the sizes on
their shoes indicated by a code, instead
of a plain marking.*’
ROAD UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
The touring department of the Au
tomobile Club of America reports a
road under construction from Mill-
wood, N. Y., through Chappaqua, con
necting with King street for Port-
ch ester.
The road is to be macadamized and
when completed will afford a direct
connection from lower Long Island
Sound points to the Harlem Valley
and along the Hudson River.
Long Island motorists will also ben
efit greatly by the new road, since
connection can be made from Long
Island by the Rye-Seacliff ferry. \
A prominent manufacturer saya
that fully 90 per cent of the men
that prove satisfactory during th©
first few weeks of their employment
can afterward keep their positions as
long as they desire. Most houses
have tests to try out new employees,
and these are nearly always more se
vere than the work they are required
to do regularly.
“In my offices,” he said, "new men
are required to do disagreeable, un
important tasks. I give some the
privilege of straightening out the
most disagreeable complaints that
come in. It show’s whether they have
any executive ability.
“Many take positions believing that
it is not well to set an example for
hard work because the employer will
think better of them if th© work is
done easily. A man must work hard
at a new job at first because he has
friction with older employees and
lack of knowledge of numerous de
tails of the work to contend with. I
think more of the new man for work
ing overtime trying to overcome these
obstacles than of the man who ap
parently goes through his work with
no effort.
“I recall the case of a man who
mad© a good record in a position
where a number had failed before
him. He studied the business, and
interviewed as many of his prede
cessors as possible to ask their rea
sons for quitting before he made his
try at it. ’ After making notes of the
others’ reasons he went to work well
fortified with a knowledge of the ex
isting conditions and made good in a
big way.
