PRESTIGE FROM WORLD WAR Development of French Trade ls Ex- pected to Follow Victory Over Huns. That the military prestige gained by France in the world war may be of great use in the development of her foreign commerce is shown by information that has reached the na- tional foreign trade council. The Brazilian government has re- cently entered into a contract with the French government for the loan of the services of General Gamelin ~—who i to reorganize the Brazilian army on & modern basis. The pre- liminary plans call for an immediate expenditure of about $10,000,000 for new equipment, and it is certain that French manufacturers will se- <ure & large share of this. The financial interests of France in Brazil have always been very large, her investments amounting to -about $850,000,000, mostly in the mature of federal and state loans. With the -establishment of many branches by the Credit Foncier de France et des Colonies in the most important towns, her interests are @ow undergoing considerable expan- sion, and will undoubtedly prove a strong competitor for commercial gupremacy in this valuable market.

In his later years Frederick Wil- liam, king of Prussia, was sorely af- flicted with gout. The twinges of pain aggravated his naturally irasci- ble temper. During the attacks he was accustomed to divert his mind by painting. His models were al- ways soldiers. In this relation the Getmans tell a story. One day he kept a tall gremadier posing for a long time. At length the picture was finished. The king turned to the man, and, in a terrible voice, asked : “What do you think of that?” “The cheeks are redder than mine,” was the hesitating response. “I’ll soon fix that!” roared the old » He seized his brush and painted both cheeks of the terrified grenadier a brilliant red. INDIA PRODUCING CEMENT., Within five years as new industry has come into being in India, which seems, at first thought, oddly out of keeping with that land of ancient ways. One does not think of cement construction as characteristic of In- ia, yet in the years immediately before the war so much cement con- struction was- there in progress that vait quantities of cement were being imported not only from England, but also from Germany, Belgium, Htaly, Austria and Hongkong. Until 1914 practically no cément was mede in India. Then the first of the three modern cement works was started, and now India produces about half of the cement needed for Indian construction. HELPING. “Where were you during the great war, father ?” : “Whenever the eloquent chairman of a finance committee got up and said our town could never, never hold up its head again or view the Stars and Stripes without,a blush of shame unless we subscribed a mil- lion or two to a war fund, I strug- gled to my feet, checkbook in hand and said, ‘Count me in on that.’”— Birmingham Age-Herald.
