The answer is as readily obtained here in Washington at the Depart- ment of Commerce as in a tour through Central and South America. For years the department has | maintained a clearing house for this sort of information which is so valu- week the bureau recently listed 30 manufactured articles concerning which it had inquiries from Argen- tina. These included advertising novel- ties—such as rulers and celluloid ar- ticles, rubber aprons, caps, gloves, and balloons, bicycles, cardboard, in- secticides, leather articles, paints, petrolatum, plumbing ware, toys, whippletree machinery, electric wir- ing supplies, concrete mixers, cutlery, lumber, elevators, glassware, hard- able to the manufacturer. Working | ware, stoves, kitchen utensils, medi- over the world in furtherance of the integral part of our foreign policy | concerning promotion of our foreign trade, it has helped immensely in de- veloping of our export market. xe x American firms have gone to South the worl ESSA Cie sorainea with anvertis= \tools, trunks and suitcases, umbrellas! to push their products with advertis- ing and promotion drives as intensive as they have waged at home—some of them have, that is, and that means the larger corporations. But there are thousands of smaller manufac- turers whose size does not justify or Permit establishment of world-wide sales organizations, although their | products could frequently be sold in substantial quantities in this country or that. It is these producers especially who are benefited by the tip system of the Department of Commerce which broadcasts weekly a list of the articles in which foreign merchants, agents and consumers are interested. The Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce provides the bulletins to any manufacturer who requctts them, releasing them simultaneously over the country through which its 70 or more districts or cooperative offices $0 that everyone will have an equal chance at the business. More than 35,000 such requests have been received from abroad since the service was instituted. In most instances the inquirers have sought to act as agents or as both purchasers and agents. Latin-American business men have made extensive use of it. In one through our trade representatives |cines, carpenters’ tools and steel win- jery, linen goods, photographic sup- | plies, razors, sanitary ware, sporting dow and door casements. Colombia has been asking about bath robes, canned fruit and vege- tables, children’s clothing, corsets, cut glass, automobile gloves, haberdash- goods, tropical suits, toilet articles, | and parasols, underwear, watches and alarm clocks, * * * i} Uruguay has expressed interest in cochineal, electric and player pianos, radio sets and parts, copper distilling machinery for making alcohol and sugar refining machinery. Brazil has inquired about patent leather, tools to be used in orchards, sport model airplanes, tin foil, agri- cultural machinery, asbestos, automo- biles and motorcycles, canning fac- tory machinery, farm lighting sets, shellac, hardware, lard making ma- chinery, pipe, electric refrigerators, rosin, slaughter house equipment, caustic soda, spices, sulphur, tin plate and wire. Other articles which have recently been made the subject of similar in- quiries from Latin-American coun- tries include cotton yarn, candy, ash trays, dried fruit, hosiery, canned fish, cotton piece goods, rice, yarn, bathtubs, metal tags for cattle and poultry, food for invalids and chil- dren, grocery specialties, baking pow- Ger, nails, iron-roofing, tin plate for bottle caps, rubber shoes—and enough other things to indicate that the de- mand for our goods is extremely varied. With the tenderness of 3 mother and the swift deftness of a trained nurse, Harry Blaine bathed Crystal's blood-caked face, hands and arms in hot water. He had rushed to the woodpile at the rear of the <hack as soon as he had deposited the girl upon the cot, though it had been hard to drag his hands from her piti- ful clutching fingers. Now, as he bathed her fever- scorched face, flames leaped high in the fireplace, routing the darkness full benefit of the firelight for his . As he swabbed gently with his “There! I can see your freckles! Nice, funny little freckles. Always did like freckled-faced girls. Believe T'll count ’em. ... Nine, ten, and one in the dimple of your chin makes eleven! Eleven beauty spots! More than girl is to! Quit cion that he had held against her. He tried to thrust it deep down in his mind, urged her, with infinite Gentleness: “Want to tell me all about it now, honey? Or do you feel too ill to talk? I’m going to leave you soon for just a few minutes and find a telephone so I can get an am- bulance out here for you—” “An ambulance?” Crystal almost Screamed. “No, no, I want to go with you! See? I'm better already!” “Of course you're better,” he soothed her. “And when you've had some hot tea and some of Harry Blaine’s world-famous corn meal gruel, you'll be almost well again. What am I thinking of, not to pe cet- ting it ready now?” Crystal lay very still on the cot while Harry was busy with his work, moving only once—to touch the smooth white-handkerchief bandage with which he had replaced the blood-soaked silk undergarment. She closed her eyes, the better to think, above the throbbing of her head and the pounding of fevered blood in her veins. During the long, lonely horror- and-pain-filled hours, the story which took | she had so painstakingly thought out to account for her presence in the shack, the “ransom letter,” and her own wound, had slipped from ker “Here, honey-girl! Drink it all the | down. Good for you,” Harry urged, as he dropped to his knees her, a steaming cup of hot tea in He lifted her head, helped her tenderly, with such fond pity in eyes, that the girl broke into a ter- his | rible storm of weeping, before z ble ne had drunk half the cupful of tea.
