State and County Newspaper) Expanding Markets Dr. Julius Ki director of the bureau of for- cign and domestic commerce, after surveying world commerce for more than four years, calls at tention to the steady increase we are making in new world markets for our products. During this period we have doubled the volume of our exports to South America, South Africa and other coun- tries outside of Europe, despite increasingly rigor- ous competition. Gains in Cuba, Mexico and the far east have been substantial, though not spec- tacular. It is in Australia and New Zealand, where the standard of living and the economic environment more nearly approach our own, that our rapidly expanding trade is of particular interest. A wid® variety of our goods finds a ready market there, American automobiles, radios and pianos being par- ticularly popular. While it is true that these markets have been acquired, or in any event expanded, during a pe- riod when our competitors were still not entirely recovered from the effects of the world war, there see! no real reason why the recovery * these countries should materially affect our exports, Furthermore, the rehabilitation of these countries should enormcusly «increase the markets for our xeods within their borders, still further augmenting cur export trade. Looking the field over very carefully, we si real ground for pessimism in the present status 0} our export tra True, the future will spell har figuring for exporters, but, if they s men, they will be able to mect foreign competition quite as easily as the domestic trader meets strictly local opposition. If the ex- porter will take the attitude that the foreign mar- ket is something to be intelligently devéloped and not shamelessly exploited, he will find that the velume of his exports will steadily increase, de- spite any opposition and competition, An Historic Spot ; Old Fort McHenry at Baltimore, Md., is to be yestablished as a national menument and restored to ‘the condition in which it existed at the time of its Dombardment by the British fleet in 1814, when it ‘was the direct inspiration of Francis Scott Key's immortal anthem, “The Star Spangled Banner, “according to plans that have been perfected by 2Quartermaster General B. Frank Cheatham and ap- “proved by Colonel Hanford MacNider, acting secre- gary of war. The Star Spangled Banner still flies from the SBpot viewed by the patriotic Key in the “dawn's early light” while he was a prisoner abvard a Brit- jish battleship during the bombardment.

The Dog Menace Since time immemorial the dog has been con- sidered as the finest animal friend of man. History abounds with references to the dog’s fidelity, his {intelligence and complete domestication. He is un- | doubtedly the favorite pet of the average household. } And yet modern civilization is particularly hard jon dogs. Those who are kept in the cities have but All sal Led of republication of all; 4 mere husk of their normal, active existence and! even those in the towns are finding that muzzles ;and chains are becoming more frequent. | And yet, what arg we to do? Dogs are subject j;to rabies. When they are allowed to run at large, one infected dog can quickly infect scores and then {a neighborhood is terrorized until the infected dogs |are located’ and exterminated. | In the crowded conditions of towns this is par- “| ticularly true. Here many children play in the ‘streets. Every dog is a friend to these children. | They cannot distigguish between one that is all right dogs of uncertain temperament or cf an unfriend): therefore, is really great enough to justify that dogs be kept off the streets unless properly muzd@ed and on leash. . It is much kinder for residents of towns to deny themselves the pleasure of having a dog for a pet, out of kindness to the dog. No animal can be happy cooped up in the house, or tortured by a muzzle or a leash. It is contrary to dog nature and such re- strictions make them unhappy. The only people who should keep dogs as pets are those who live in spar: settled communities where the animals may run at large without inconveniencing anyone dom, Just Kids The Americans are just a nation of kids, accord- ing to Dr. A. R. Gilliland, mob psychologist of Northwestern university. He says this was proved recently when we went into hysterics over Rudolph Valentino, the return of Gertrude Ederle and the visit of Jiddu Krishnamurti. We hope Dr. Gilliland is a good mob psychologist. If he is, then the chances of his being correct are better. A nation of grown-ups would be a terrible place. There would be too much worrying about the | improbable and the inevitable. | __ EditorialComment —| “Sunset and Evening Star” (Toledo Blade) When the Grand Army of the Republic holds its next national encampment, in late September, the question of disbandment will come up for settlement. If you would know why, there is the answer in the rapidly thin ranks of the veterans. Even the youngest civil war surviver is in the late 70's. He was only a boy in the storm of passion, when hearts were burning. ‘The first Grand Army post was organized at Deca-j tur, Ill., April 6, 1866, The first national encamp ment was held at Indianapclis, Nov. 20, of the same year. more than 400,000. Then they began to fall, these blue veterans; faster and faster they responded to the last roll call, until now there is but a remnant, and there comes the thought of disbandming the organization. Perhaps it is better so. Perhaps the survivors of the grand organization can better preserve thei remaining strength by giving up the national en- campment. We can well fancy them saying one to another, once their decision is made: “Let us go There may be some sign We can imagine that.
