The trade review, which is pre pared by the League's economic intelligence service, said that im provement in the United States trade balance was due to diversion of industry jn other countries to muniMons manufacturing; thus forcing them to make more pur chases abroad.

FROM INGLESIDE If you read this you may won der if wives of 100 years ago needed the advice given by The Watchman of the South. Nothing was said of the husbands. Maybe they didn't need advice then as they do now. At> any r^te a pretty good authority of the present day says: "Not all the blame for un happy family life can be placed on the wife. Husbands should check up on their own faults once a week." Here is The Watchman of the South's advice to the wives of a century ago: "In your temper and spirit) be calm, gentle, kind, charitable, af fectionate, cheerful, humble and respcetful. "In your speech be sober, chaste, prudent, not given to com plaining, sincere. Be no scold. Avoid all taunting expressions. "In your habits be industrious, economical, "A KEEPER AT HOME," regular, considerate, un affected. "In your person be neat and plain. But not a slattern, nor a gaudy creature, decked ouO for show. "In your religion be modest, firm, self-denying, devout, hearty, systematic.
