The silk worm industry in Bulgar
ia is another evidence that it is the
Utile things that count. From aJn
Lrv 1 to March 31 of the present
-ear 48,000 one-ounce boxes of silk
worm eggs were produced in that
untrv. The present annual income
from the cocoon trade is $1,925,080.
Tlie cocoon line supports more than
50,000 Bulgarian families.
The present wheat crop in India
is 33,040,000 acres, an increase of
nearly 3,000,000 acres over last year.
Contrary to the impression conveyed
by some English novels, it would
geom that the activities of that coun
try are not confined to playing tennis,
charming snakes and riding ele
phants. On Cordoba, Aregentina, the pea
nut crop, which is said to be quite
satisfactory, is quoted at $4.45 a
hundred pounds. In this city pea
nuts are ten and twelve cents a pound
in some places and five cents a small
handful in others. Cordoba seems
to be the place to save money if one
has a small boy or a zoo on his
hands.
A South American exporter ;s
seeking a market for hides in the
United States. He has about one
hundred hides on hand at the present
time. Show this to your shoe deal

his eyes that leather is so hard to
get.
The fuel used in the factory en
gines of Siam is paddy husks (a bi
product of rice milling) and sawdust.
Apparently you can fool a factory en
gine as easily as you can fool some
people.
A manufacturer's agent and im
porter in New Zealand wishes to be
placed in touch with manufacturers
of American flags. Another evidence
of Uncle Sam's increasing popularity.
Rotary washing machines are not
made in Australia, but. there is ample
evidence that the Austrian wife
would rather grind than rub, since
at least two Canadian firms have been
successful in marketing their rotary
machines in Melbourne and Sydney
in normal times.
That the people of Ireland are
more sweetly inclined than British
officials have on several occasions led
us to believe, is shown by the fact
that a man in that country wishes to
be placed in communication with
manufacturers of machinery and sup

The United States Civil Service
Commission (announces an open com
petitive examination at the places
and on the date above named to pro
vide a ' register of eligibles from
which to make certification for filling
vacancies as they may occur in posi
tions requiring the qualifications of
stenography, typewriting, or steno
graphy and typewriting, in the Fed
eral classified civil service at or in
the vicinity of the places of examina
tion. At the present time there are a
number of vacancies in the positions
of typewriter and stenographer and
typewriter and it is expected that
several thousand appointments will
be made to positions in the Quarter
master Corps from the typewriter
registers for the Field Service.
As the demand for eligibles for
such positions has recently been
greater that the supply, qualified per

nation. Age, 18 years or over on the date
of the examination.
The scope and character of this ex
amination, the limits of civil service
districts, and the regulations govern

fact that the typewriter examination
has been modified by omitting the
subject of Copying and Spacing and

of the examination.

tion their photographs, taken within
two years, securely pasted in the

accepted.
This examination is open to all
citizens of the United States who

Form 1424 and application Form
1371, stating the title of the exami
nation desired, to the Secretary of

dress given below. Applications
should be properly executed and filed
with the District Secretary in time to
arrange for the examination of the
applicant.

UNITED STATES CAN TURN TRICK
Allies Can Hold Their Own Until We
Are Ready.
(JOHN M. STUART)
Washington, July. 31 This is a
summary of what three Americans n
closest touch with the war situation
think of it:
The western front is a nut so tough
to crack that it cannot be cracked
with the present allied tools.
The United States will have to do
that.
The United States can do it.
The failure of the Russian offen
sive was far more disastrous than
had been anticipated. It was an ut
ter rout.
But the very disorganization of
Russia is encouraging in the sense
that Germany can make no advanta
geous peace with the new republic.
The United States must raise the
proportion of allied to Tueton fight
ers on the western front to some
thing like three to one.
Or the flank of the western front
must be turned.
To the either of these things we
must free the seas of submarines and
dominate the air.
And -
The French and British can more
than hold their own until we can

bring our forces into play for these
purposes.
This is the picture sketched today
by Secretary Baker, of the war-department;
Secretary Daniels, of the
navy department, and Acting Secre
tary of State Frank L. Polk. It is a
composite picture drawn after long
talks with all three men in which the
whole situation was thoroughly dis
cusses. It is not a pessimistic picture
It reveals a great task. But it was
the picture before America's eyes
when war was declared. It has not
grown worse as the details have been
paintedMn by the experience of the
last three months.
As always, the one great nub of it
all looms up as the submarine. Were
the submarines not always factor
our troops could be rushed to France,
trained quickly there, more quickly
equipped and hurled into the battle
line.
Every one realizes the importance
of this in Washington tonight.
Washington, outside of the war
college, is just waking up to the
problem's size. The war college has
always known it. There were shocks
in the war department's five billion
dollar budget today that made a
great many people see the light. The
budget includes two billions for "ar
mament of fortifications." It can
not be believed that such an arma
ment is to be used at home. It con
tains an item of over a half billion
dollars for the "military information
section of the general corps."
These items mean that the forces
we send to Eurpoe will be equipped
from the heavy cannon tweny miles
in the rear, to the spies and scouts
within the enemies own lines.
The aircraft bill means that we
will dominate the air. Germany can
not possibly keep pace with our pro-
gram when superimposed on that of
England and France.
