EXPORTS SHOWING SATISFACTORY GAIN Steady Rise in Amount of Goods That France Ships to U. §. Parls, April 20, (By Assoclated Press) ~—The smoking of cigarettes is increasing in the.United States, if one may judge by the greater exportas tion of cigarette paper from France to the United States. The figures of 1922 are materially higher than those for 1921, A general estimate based on officlal reports shows that there is a steady rise in the amount of merchandise that ¥rance is sending to the United States, a condition which has encour- aged both the French government and French business interests. The exports last year were about 19,000,~ 000 francs higher than in 1921, As Parls handles 60 per cent of afl the French shipments to America, a good idea of the trade situation as it con- cerns France and the United States may Be had from examining the Paris commercial balance sheets, Shipment of Gold. An extraordinary feature has been the shipment of gold, In 1921 this amounted to about 275,000,000 gold dollars. In 1922 it fell to under $50,-} 000,000 but February of, this year in- dicates a notable increase in the out- flow of gold to America. The-figures on gold export are easily obtainable, ‘and people here are speculating as to what interests are responsible for the | February increase. Some of it pre- sumably reaches France from the Scandinavian countries. American women have not lost their liking for the pretty things of France, for there has been an in- crease in the shipments of silk wear- ing apparel, both embroidered and plain, and in handkerchiefs, laces and furs. Also America has increased her takings of works of art more than | 100 years old, and precious stones and | pearls, both imitatior and real. Other Purchases. | Other American purchases in| France include leather, cotton cloth- ing, artificia) flowers, blocked’ or trimmed hats, musical instruments, silk, underwear and knltted goods. | A falling off in exportation of porce- | lain and gloves from the Limoges dis- | trict is due to the difficulty of find- ing skilled workers. Increased prices of raw material and labor hav@i pushed the finished product up so| high as to interfere with foreign sales | despite the value of the franc, \\‘hich\ is favorable to exportation. 40 Good Clothes Shops NEW-DEVICE CAN RECORD 8,000 DEGREES OF HEAT Using Insteument That Can Measure Extremo Temperatures Withs out Contact. Chicago, April 20, (By Assoclated Press),—An instrument capable of measuring extreme temperatures without coming in direct contact with the source of heat is now being used in a number of industrial plants to determine the amount of heat in the kilns on furnaces where raw materlals are being burned or melted, accord- ing to officials of the Structural Ma- terlals Research Laboratory of the Lewls Institute here, The instrument is known as a ra- dlation pyrometer, and consists of a small telescope containing a plece of colored glass and two small wires, at- tached to an indicator box. Standing back some distance from the kiln, or furnace, the operator sights the little telescope at the spot where the glow is hottest, The glass focuses the heat on the wires, which expand and register the degree of temperature on a dial on the indicator box. In portland cement plants, where a temperature of from 2,600 to 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit is needed in the, kilns to burn the raw materials to a | clinker, the common mercury ther- mometers are useless, because mer- cury reaches its boiling point at.675! degrees, By using the pyrometer, a direct check is kept on the kiln tem- peratures, although some operators | have an almost uncanny sense of de- termining this by sight. | At one of the cement mills re- cently the pyrometer telescope was turned on the sun. The little needle in the indicator box immediately sprang over the maximum figure, bouncing against the sides of the box in its effort to register the heat on the sun’s surface, 98,000,000 miles away, P ask for Horlick's The ORIGINAL \ alted Milk B | ¥ w A %, N o ‘The Original Food-Drink for All Ages QuickLunchat Home Officea Fouritains.
