It is no small task to stage such an undertaking The first work done on the 1928 race was started on July 14, 1927, a t twelve months ago And the campa to make it a success, which it was in every way, was not allowed to drag for a day No sporting event in recent history of the Pacific Northwest, certainly none ever staged in Alaska, has h amount of valuable publicity this race was ven Some of the largest news gathering and disseminating organizations in the world had representatives covering it. Great news re mcvie companies filmed the more im- portant scenes and the demand for pictures was and will continue to be heavy. This is bound to create wideSpread interest among chtsmen not only on the Pacific but also on the tlantiec Coast. A campaign for next year" race at this time while the current one is still fresh| in everycne's minds would naturally be more effective than one launched several months from now when general interest has lagged. UNITED STATES REGAINS POSITION. Those pessimists who a few rs back pre- dicted that England would again outstrip the United States in the world's commerce as so0on ag her industries had recovered from the effects of the World War have missed their guess at least up to now. This nation took the leader- ship in world trade during the war, prior to that time England having held first At the end of 1927 the United States was still well in the lead and seemed to be in position to re- tain its position at least for many years to come Figures compiled by the Department of Com- merce showed that. approximately $4,865,000,000 worth of merchandise was exported by the United States .last while England’s exports, next in importance. were $4,045,000,000. Germany ranked third with $2,426,000,000, followed by France with $2,158,000,000; Canada with fifth with §1,237,000,000; India sixth with $1,186,~ 000,000; Japan seven with $943,000,000; and Italy eighth with $803,000,000. The United States the first three in the group whose export trade was in excess of its imports, that is the only one with a favorable trade balance. Its imports were valued at $4,185,000,000, while England's im- ports were worth $5,932,000,000, and those of Germany ' $3,336,000,000. France, Canada and India were the other countries with favorable trade balances, while Japan and Italy both im- ported more than they sold abroad. year, was only one of the PROFITS IN THE MOTOR INDUSTRY. The 1928 trend of profits in dustry exclusive of the Ford Motor Company, s0 far as disclosed by the statements of the first quarter, indicates a decided improvement for the industry as a whole. While for the entire 1927 the profits of the motor industry increased 6 per cent. over 1926, this increase was far more than accounted for by the improvement in the profit position of the General Motors Cor- poration. The other companies in the aggregate suffered a decline of 20 per cent. for the entire period of 1927 as compared with 1926. The recent figures, however, very definitely indicate an improvement for the industry as a whole. For the first quarter of 1928 General Motors reports net profits of about 69 millions as compared with 52 millions for the correspond- ing period of last year, an increase of 32 per the motor in- cent. The improvement in the aggregate of the other companies is also marked. The combined net income of 17 motor vehicle manufacturers exclusive of General Motors shows an increase of 20 per cent. in the first quarter of 1928 over the corresponding period for 1927. A comparison of earnings in the first quarter of 1928 with the corresponding quarter of 1927 shows that the most marked improvement has occurred in the profits of the Packard Motor Company and of the Hupp Motor Car Corporation. Some improve- ment has also occurred in the earnings of Dodge Brethers, Inc., and of the Studebaker Corporation. Hudson Motor Car Corporation and Chrysler Corporation, whose profits statements for the full year of 1927 disclosed substantial gains over 1926, showed continued gains over the first quarter cf 1927. Only 5 of the 18 reporting companies had profits less than those of the corresponding gquarter of last year.

Write or wire for reserva- tions. & —a AUTOS FOR HIRE meanings of gob are now considered either as col- | & loquial, obsolete or slang. The elegance of our modern speech had seemingly discarded the word when it possessed the rank and file of the United Stat v. It is doubtful if any of those who use it to describe a sailor could give a convincing reason for doing so. Apparently it is as far-fetched as ‘“poilu,” “bocho,” “Tommy Atking,’ ene,” “doughboy” and other undig- nified names which soldiers, sailors and marines have given themselves. Bluejackets is neither descriptive nor satis- fying; and to be in accord with navy term- inclogy it would have to be made “blue blouses.” ‘Sailor” designates a merchantman as well as a navy man. ‘“‘Seaman” applies to but one rating in the naval service. Perhaps Admiral Wiley, having prohibited the use of the word “‘gob” in the ships’ papers, will be able to provide some- thing to take its place. Edwin Thomas Meredith. (New York World.) B. T. Meredith, dead in Des Moines at the early age of fifty-two, was one of thos Democrats commonly named when Presidential possibilities were discussed. If the policy of the party had been to try to capitalize farm dissatisfaction in the West by selecting a candidate from that sec- tion, Mr. Meredith would have been in the direct line for the momination in 1924, Through his farm journal he was committed to the principle of price-fixing, most recently illustrated in thej McNary-Haugen bill. This year he passed from the list of favorite sons through his defeat in the Towa primaries after a campaign in which he was unable, through illness, to take a very active part. For four years at the end of Meredith was engaged in various Federal Government. He is best in Washington as Mr. Wilson's lust Secretary of Agriculture. As his service in this task covered only fourteen months during which the President was generally absent or ill, he was never in very close personal relations with Mr. Wilson. But it was generally felt, then and since, that no one in the country was better equipped by talent and by devotion to its cause to represent agri- culture in the Cabinet of the President, —_— It is getting to the point where a for any office will have 'to wear unllorf::d:vdl:l: out pockets.—(Atlanta Constitution.) the war Mr. tasks for the remembered industry, is disclosed by the earnings state- ments thus far available for the first quarter _of this year.
