The propo- sition is practically the east, Jbut it has been tried out successfully in western stat during the last few years and has become one of the first movements started by chamber of tommerce organizations. In a general way, the plan is to form a local delivery corporation which maintains a delivery system, either by horse and wagan or by au- tomobile, and delivers the goods sold *by all the merchants participating in the scheme. Collections are made at ®stated hours in the day and carried to a central station. Here the bun- dles from different merchants are as- sarted, just as the letters are assorted at the post office, and turned over to a particular man for delivery on his route. From two to five deliveries are usually made each day on each Xoute. Some stores in New Britain have na delivery system. The expense of maintaining individual deliveries has often been given as one reason for the high cost of living. Certainly it is one of the merchants’ biggest Items of expense and it has been ar- gued those wha do not maintain de- liveries suffer from lack of business that otherwise might be theirs. It is claimed that wherever adopted, the ! co-operative system has reduced the expense of delivery to those who for- merly maintained individual deliveries from twenty to fifty per cent. and the telephane business of those who made no deliveries has been greatly in- Jcreased. The question of whether personal marketing on the part of the cansum- er would be better from an econo- mie standpoint, is not being consid- ered by the committee. The cham. ber of commerce is dealing with con- ditlons as they are, not with condi- tions as they might be. The co-operative deHvery system is ,introduced as a means of reducing the expense of delivery to the minimum and placing every merchant in a po- sition to deliver his goods to his cus- tomers. The whole scheme 18 a mat- ter of giving the most efficient ser- vice to the consumer. Fundamentally, the plan is not in- tended to replace individual delivery systems, but to supplement them and "make delivery of goods possible for those who cannot afford individual systems. The provision dealers may not be incorporated into the system, but in some cities co-operative deliver- fes on the part of such dealers have met with remarkable success. The hardware and furniture dealers may _Ycontinue to deliver heavy goods with their own vehicles and turn smaller orders over to the cenfral system. The ,merchants dealing in smaller wares, such as shbves, dry goods, clothing, hause furnishings, and the smaller pro- vision stores will, however, be placed in a position to deliver their goods | USE “TIZ” FOR SORE, TIRED FEET for puffed-up sweaty, calloused feet and corns. new to N “TIZ™. aching Good-bye sore feet, burning feet, | Lumbago, Pains and Aches of the Back | rones Eases Quickly When You Apply | a Little Musterole And MUSTEROLE won't blister like the old-fashioned mustard-plaster.

MANUFACTURERS HAVE NEGLECTED REPORTS Attention of Chambsr of Commarce Cailed to Matter by Census Bureau The New Britain Chamber of Com- merce, which is representing the census bureau of Washington, D. C,, in the census of manufactures in this city, has recommended that all manufacturers give the requests for census reports, which were due Janu- ary 15, prompt and careful considera- tion. Secretary A. H. Andrews has re- ceived word from Director William J. Harris of the census bureau that a large number of manufacturers have neglected to make the reports re- quired for the census of 1914. This not only delays the publication of the census, but adds greatly to the cost of the work. The law directs that a census of manufactures shall be taken every fifth yvear, and the di- rector has done everything possible to facilitate the work. The blanks on which to make reports were mailed to all manufacturers with the request that the returns be forwarded to the census bureau by January 15, 1915. The co-operation of chambers of com- merce, boards of trade, and other or- ganizations interested in the country’'s industrial development has been so- licited, but notwithstanding their very general response and assistance, com- paratively few reports have been re- ccived, and a large number of those that have reached the office are very defective. It is feared that the importance of these statistics showing the condition of all industries during the year 1914 is not appreciated. Unless all man- ufacturers make proper returns the relative standing of one industry with ancther and of one city with another will be seriously affected, The city of New Britain should not lose the pesition to which it is entitled indus- trially, and it is the duty of every citizen to see that full and complete returns are made of all our indus- tries.

At the same time dispatches from Galveston said that the Dacia has nearly finished taking on her cargo of cotton and was preparing to sail for Rotterdam. The British government declared it could not consent to waive any of its rights in the case of the Dacia and assigned as one of the reasons for its position the fact that such action might constitute a precedent which would. be invoked to the prejudice af the British position in regard to enemy ships transferred to neutral reg- istry during the war. Notice of Eng- land’'s reply was sent by the depart- ment to Edward N. Breitung, the pur- chaser of the Dacia, who is in New York. Contracts have been made for the Dacia to deliver her cotton cargo at Bremen, and the ship was ta have sailed from Galveston not later than January 8. She was detained, how- ever, pending receipt of the British answer to the state department’'s re. quest that she be permitted to make the one vayage to Rotterdam without prejudice to the case of either coun- try should her status ever be contested. It is said that the freight charges on the Dacia’s present cargo amount to nearly as much as was paid for the vessel when she was purchased from the Hamburg-American line. The cotton an board of her would not be treated as contraband if the British should seize her, as is expected. Thus neither the owner of the vessel nor the cotton shippers apparently stand to lose any more by venturing the trip than by defaulting on existing contracts. Should it be decided to send the Dacia to sea the case will be watched here with the keenest in- terest and a decision in the case will probably be of great significance with regard to the proposal of the admin- istration to buy German and Austrian ships now confined to American ports and operate them as a government owned steamship line.

Sullivan, American minister to that republic, having said that he ex- | pected to share what profits he made in the alleged exploitation with Sec- retary of State Bryan and Martin H. | Glynn, former governor of New York, and Congressman J. A. Hamill of New Jersey. M. E. Davis of New York, tractor for supplies, testified he had been so informed by Beer while the two were on their way to Santo Do- mingo, Davis with the expectation of securing government contracts which | he said Beer had represented to him | were to be had. Expenditure of $6,000,000. The witness sald Beer had asserted that Messrs. Bryan, Glynn and Hamill were ‘‘all interested in seeing San Domingo improved,”” and that ar- rangements had been made by the administration with the Dominian government for the expenditure of $6,000,000 in public improvements. “I took him to mean Mr. Bryan continued Mr. Davis. “Did he say Mr. Mr. Phelan. “He didn't use the name replied Davis, “but I inferred was who he meant.” When Mr. Davis said that he as- sumed Mr. Beer referred to Secretary of State Bryan, Senator-elect Phelan asked: “Did you believe that?

Baker had | a contract for building a powerhouse in that city for a Boston concern and | said that he protested to Minister Sullivan, asking intervention against a threatened attack upon the city by a Dominican gunboat that was pa- trolling the river. The city was at that time in the possession of revoiutionists and al- though it was defended by a so-called fort, Baker sald that it was in no sense fortifled, as the entire artiilery of the fort consisted of one one- pounder gun. Sullivan, he declared, had insisted that it was a fort and that the gunboat had a right to bom- | bard. Baker said he then entered a protest in writing to the minister. To this Sullivan replied in a letter that | was put in evidence, in which curred the sentence: “This does not mean that the attack on the town will be stopped by the United States; on the contrary, will encourage it.”” Copy for Bryan. | A copy of the letter, the witness | said, was sent to Sccretary Bryan. | Tie gunboat subsequently did bom- | bard, he testified, throwing five shells | into the city and damaging his prop- | erty, though not seriously.
