"The countries to which the in-
creasing exports of sowing machines

Asia and Oceania, and $53,801 lo
Africa. Considering the exports to
individual countries, Scotland heads
the list as a market for American
sewing machines, the exports thereto
in the fiscal year 1911 having been
valued at $1,436,2!U. Germany ranks
second, with a total of $1,885,183. The
next largest last year were $U2i*,&0t

the foregoing scores of other coun

amounts from $200,000 downward,
among them Chile, Colombia, Ecus
dor, Uruguay, Peru, Venezuela and
tho (tuianas, in South America; Cen-
tral America and the West Indies, in
North America; China, Korea, Siani
and Turbey, in Asia; the Philippine
Islands and certain British, French
and (lerman possessions, in Oceania;
and Ngypt, British Africa, Liberia,
and various French, German, Span-
ish, and Portuguese colonies in Afri-
ca. And while in some of these
the exports are relatively small, the
growth from year to year Is evi-
dence that American sewing ma-
chines are proving satisfactory, this
being true not only of Europe and
America but In numerous other parts
of the world where customs of dress
and habits of Industry, especially as
regards the use of machinery, are
different from those which obtain In
tho United States.
"The growth in exports of Ameri-
can sewing machines reflects the de
velopment of the domestic industry,
the value of its product having in
creased from $4,403,206 In 1860 to
over $28,000,000 in 1909.
PEACE DAY.
Subscribe for the News-Herald.
Tomorrow is "Peace Day."
May 18, 1899, the first "peace con-
ference" was opened at The Hague.
Since that time tho movement for
universal peace has made great
strides, and has been taken up In
some form, to some extent, by every
civilized nation of the world.
The latest method of promoting the
cause of peace is through instruc-
tions in the public schools. The
movement Jh fostered by the Ameri-
can School Peace League. L. J.
Abbott is president of the Oklahoma
branch of the American League. Ho
has addressed the following letter
to The News-Herald:
ICdinond, Okla., May 14, J912.
Dear Sir and Krlend:
May 18th is Peaco Day. It was
on this day in 1899 that the first
peace conference was opened at The
Hague. We are all aware of tho
great strides the universal peace
movement has made since then
permanent court of arbitration has
been established; a world parliament
meets every eight years at The
Hague; a capltol in which to carry
en these activities has been erected
It 1b known as the Palace of Peac
Now when nations fall out they look
lo The Hague instead of to arms to
settle the diflculty.
And why not? Here In tho United
States we have forty-eight states,
separate and distinct for tho most
part. Often they do not agree, but
we have no armed frontier, neither
do we rush to war to settle our dif-
ficulties. We have courts in which
we have sufficient confidence
which we rely to adjust our disputes
after the cause has been joined. The
llrltiih Dominions have several gov-
ernments of like character—Canada,
Australia. New Zeland and South
Africa, and the very strength of the
(Jerman empire is because tho states
of which it is composed no longer
fight each other.
The reason 1 now address you is
to request that at some time in tho
near future you point out in your
valuable publication the significance
of Peace Day and what has already
been accomplished by the universal
peace movement. It was realized
by the leaders of the second confer-
ence that of 1907 that to attain
universal peace sentiment and pub-
lic opinion must be behind the move-
ment as well as reason. The Ameri-
can School Peace League was the
result. It is confidently believed
that if war is presented in its prop-
er rorm to the mind of the youth of
all nations that by tho time the
fourth conference meets in 1923 that
a war between civilized states will
be almost as impossible as a war
between Oklahoma and Kausas. For
when war is once stripped of its
glamour and falso ideals it will cease
to exist.
It seems almost an impossible task
to Btop war, but it is not at all im-
possible If the leaders of thought in
each community will do their part.
Will you use your influence by say-
ing a word for Universal Peace on
this occasion?
Very truly,
l. j. ABBOTT.

Tax on Firearms Is Upheld.
Austin, Texas, May 17.—The third
court of civil appeals today upheld
the constitutionality of the act of
the legislature, which imposes a tax
of 50 per cent of the gross sales of
pistols and revolvers. A local firm,
Caswell & Smith, had resisted the
payment of the tax and the state
sued for penalties. It recovered
judgment in the trial court, where
the law was sustained, and today
the court of appeals affirmed the
judgment. The opinion has not been
handed in as yet, though the affirm-
ance was announced from the bench.
There were no written opinions in
the supreme court today, that tri-

cations for writs of error and mo-
tions for rehearing.

The Mammoth Dep'l. Slore
Main A Hell Sis.. Shawnee, Okla.
Several thousand employers, fac-
tory superintendents, managers and
workmen, from every section of th<
country will gather at the seven
teenth annual convention of the Na-
tional Association of Manufacturers
of the United States at the Waldorf-
Astoria Hotel, New Y'ork City, on
May 20, 21 and 22. The convention
will mark the opening of the great-
est constructive campaign ever Inaug-
urated in this country to improve tho
efficiency of American industrial
methods by educating both workers
and employers. Tho employers, their
assistants and the workmen will
meet, for instance, on the common
ground that Industrial accidents are
their mutual enemies.
Among the special features which
have been arranged for the occasion
•re three motion picture films, each
of which has its own lesson on til'?
cause, effect and remedy. The first
shows tho occurrence of an accident
in a factory with its attendant in-
jury, and the logical effect of the
casualty both upon tho worker and
his family or relatives. This film
has been especially prepared for the
National Association of Manufactur-
ers and will be followed by a film
sho ving the practical application And
use of accident prevention devices on
a great number of machines in <h
plant of the Brown & Sharpe Manu-
facturing company, of Providence,
It bode Island. The pictures prove at
clearly as would a personal visit of
li spection to any plant the practical-
It)- of adopting remedies for at least
seventy-five per cent of the total
number of industrial accidents which
occur in the l ulled States every
year.
The third motion picture film is
entitled "Insuring Safety at Sea." an.I
comprises the results of a careful In
wstigatiou into tho field of practical
life-saving apparatus, as promoted by
the various trans-Atlantic steamship
companies. Tho pictures also in-
clude some of the latest and most
adaptable forms of rescue apparatus
which are of particular interest at
this time.
This convention will be the first of
a series which the association will
hold primarily for educational pur-
poses, on the question of promoting
industrial efficiency. For more than
two years past the organization has
been actively engaged in the field of
accident prevention and compensation
for the workers; during that period
its committee on Accident PrevenU-
tiou and Workmen's Compensation
has completed and published in book
ftrm the results of an exhaustive
first-hand study of the various Euro-
pean safety appliances, and systems
of workmen's compensation insurance
The work has been widely commend-
ed and its recommendations have
rendered valuable assistance to th?
numerous state commissions consid-
ering tha subject for purposes of leg-
islation. The committee has also giv-
en much personal assistance to these
bodies and will make a full repo-t
the convention.
Besides the motion picture films
there will be arranged in the Colonial
room of the hotel an Accident Pre-
vention exhibition, consisting of al-
most 2,000 photographs, a large num-
ber of working models of safety ap-
pliances and the greater portion of
the asfety-at-sea apparatus shown in
the omtion pictures. The Wisconsin
State Industrial Commission has coi-
tributed to the photographic exhibit,
and the United \tates Steel corpora-
t.on has arranged an extensive amy
of working models from Its various
plants. The trans-Atlantic steamship
companies will have experts on hand
to explain the details of the snfety-
at-sea exhibition.
and workers in attendance ,an oppov-
tunity further to equip their plants
and understand the operation of prac-
tical safety appliances.
Another branch of the national
campaign to promote the welfare and
efficiency of employers and workers
which will be touched on at the com
ing convention is the Question of fire
prevention, in ihis connection there
will be a symposium of information
recently obtained from the fire chiefs
or more than twenty of the largest
cities in the country, giving their
views on the practical methods o
reducing the annual losses by firi
This symposium will be presided over
by Franklin H. Wentworth, secretary
of the National Fire Protection Am
ciation. The report of a special com-
mittee on the regulation of the sales
ol high explosives will also be re
ceived.
Another feature in the motion pic
ture entertainment will be the pre-
sentation of a highly Instructive film
showing the actual construction and
present state of the Panama canal
This will be accompanied by an ad-
dress by Charles A. Conant, of Nev
York, on the relation of the Panamf
canal to commerce and tran6porta
tion, as well as Its probable effect oi
our American trade with South and
Central America.
John Kirby, Jr., of Dayton, Ohio,
president of the association, will de-
liver his annual address, and officers
will be elected for the ensuing year.
Among the committee reports which
will be received at the convention,
are Industrial Education, Immigra-
tion, Patents. Banking and Currency,
Merchant Marine and Union Label
The convention will close with tho
annual banquet on the evening of
May 22nd.
