Exports From The United States To Chile Show Increase Exports from the United States to Chile during the first eight months of last year increased 44 per cent as compared with the similar period in 1936, according to a report made public today by the Chilean Consul General in New York. The value of America^ Tn <a r''^a~- dise and raw materials sold to Chile from January to August, 1937, amounted to $15,116,517 as com pared with $16,551,881 last year. These exports consisted chiefly of cotton goods, woolen goods, fuel oil, rolled iron or steel, and ma chinery. Almost every branch of American industry was in some way, either directly or indirectly, affected by these Chilean pur chases. Approximately 25 per cent of Chile’s annual foreign purchases during the last ten years have been from the United States, amount ing to more than $241,000,000 for that period. Through the use of these American products, especial ly machinery and raw materials, Chile has been able substantially to modernize her industries, im prove her standard of living and consequently increase her purchas ing power.

She is the founder, senior bishop and president of the board of trustees of the Pillar of Fire Church. If there is anything in the theory of the heredity of accomplishments, then Miss Margaret Lowe of Ameri- cus, Kansas, must have gotten her knack at wood carving from her father and grandfather, both of whom were cabinetmakers. During the depression Miss Lowe, who had been teaching school, found herself without a job and started in carving silhouttes in walnut. She employs ten workers in her shop and sells her carvings all over the country. Some of them have been used in Hollywood studios. WILDLIFE CONFERENCE Again let us call your attention to the third annual North Ameri can wildlife conference to be held this month in Baltimore. The ses sion will last four days, beginning Monday, February 14, and going through Thursday, the 17th; with the Lord Baltimore Hotel as of ficial headquarters. The North American Wildlife Conference is the only nation-wide conclave bringing together members of ,all groups interested in the I preservation and restoration of a great natural resource. The first Conference was called by President Roosevelt, at the request of The American Wildlife Institute, in Washington in 1936. It succeeds the American Game Conference, sponsored by The American Game Association for twenty-one years. This year’s annual clearing house for mutually beneficial ideas and | open forum for the airing of prob- |lems has been assigned to Balti more. Because of the awakening af public sentiment in favor of re storing and conserving our wildlife resources and because of the con crete results achieved at previous Conferences the 1938 assemblage of authorities and outdoorsmen is expected to exceed all previous rec ords in attendance and accom- I plishments. General Sessions. At the Gen eral Sessions, vital wildlife prob lems will be subjected to panel dis cussions. The panels will be com prised of four authorities. Each au thority will be allotted ten min utes to present his version of the subject under discussion. An op portunity will be given for re buttal. The remainder of the hour assigned to each subject to be treated at the general sessions will be devoted to open discussion from the floor. Technical Sessions. At the Tech nical Sessions approximately sixty papers will be presented by as many different authorities on va rious problems of American wild life. Research studies will be con sidered by scientists and wildlife technicians and practical methods of applying wildlife management will be discussed. All sessions, both general and technical will he open to the public. j The Annual Banquet. The an nual banquet will be held in the Calvert Ballroom of the Lord Bal timore Hotel at seven o'clock on Wednesday, February 16. Especial- 1 ly fine moving pictures of wildlife will be shown. Dinner reservations should be made at once. Tables will be assigned in the order in which reservations are received. Upon re quest, tables will be reserved for clubs or other groups. Banquet checks for $3.00 per person, should ; be made payable to The American 'Wildlife Institute and mailed to the Institute’s headquarters, 822 Investment Building, Washington, or to West Jacocks, Secretary, S. C. Game Sc Fish Association, Colum bia, S. C. Outdoor Show. The Conference will be held concurrently with the North American Sports, Garden and Outdoor Life Show, which will occupy the Fifth Regiment Armory in Baltimore February 11 to 19, in clusive. All exhibits will be set against naturalistic backgrounds. Exhibits from the North Woods and an Antarctic exhibit with igloos and dog teams will contrast strikingly with southern exhibits, which include one from Mexico. j National figures prominent in wildlife conservation fvill be on the program as will the department heads of the federal government dealing with natural resources. | Canada and Mexico will send dele gations. ! Among the South Carolina dele- 1 gation will be A. A. Richardson, chief game warden; T. Kirkland Trotter, president and West Jacocks, secretary of the game and ^ fish association; Miss Claudia L. Phelps of Aiken, this state’s repre sentative of the General Wildlife federation Board; and Walker Floyd, president of the Dillor. chapter. Others interested in the conven tion, will please communicate with Secretary Jacocks in Columbia, that the South Carolina delegation may be organized. Columbia, S. C.

First ?omes your choice of plant. Re member that the majority of flow ering plants have only one bloom ing period in each yean The plant you buy at the florist’s shop was taken months ago by the gardener, cared for and stimulated until it is in full bud, ready to bloom un der the right care. Ask the florist about watering temperature and light. If the plant is to be repotted the important point to keep in mind is adequate drainings. The material in the pot itself does not make as much difference as this matter of handling. The clay poi with bottom drainage hole should be set on a surface that permits a certain amount of air to circu late under the pot. A saucer filled with small pebbles or coarse ashes can be placed under the pot. This prevents the plant from standing in stagnant water. If the pot is placed in jardiniere this should be large enough to allow some circu lation of air around the pot. Stand ing water should be removed daily. A plant potted in a non-porous container without a bottom open- iiig should have a good inch of ainage material at the bottom. I arge pebbles, broken bits of pot tery or good sized marbles are good for this purpose. * * * Sometimes grease spots * appear on the back and arms of up holstered chairs in spite of anti macassars and what-not precau tions. So, if hard wear over the holidays have soiled these places that come in contact with head and hands use a medium stiff hard brush dipped in cleaning fluid. Carbon tetrachloride is recom mended because it is not inflam mable. However, there are innum- ! erable cleaning mixtures on the market that are not inflammable and remove dirt and grease effec- 1 tively. Begin in the center of the spot. and work out, using a cir cular motion. This prevents all dangers of a ring forming around the cleaned place. * * * Stopping the Drip For instance, with all the run ning of hot water during the double-day week-ends and cook ing, perhaps a faucet is beginning to develop an annoying drip. II you’re pressed for time or are look ing forward to a more complete | plumbing overhaul in the spring, ! have the man about the house take out the rubber stopper and merely reverse it. It will last for several months. If the faucet hap pens to need a fuller ball, remove it from the threaded shank, wrap a few turns of string around the shank and replace. The fuller ball will then seat tightly. COAL three motion pictures and now a play in London, “The Dangerous Age,” by Mm.
