Chamber of Commerce and meeting Phlla
delphla manufacturers.
EUROPEAN IMPORTS LACKING
"Imports from the countries of Europe
have been cut on ny me war, no .
"Germany handled most of the foreign trade
In China until the war. That is virtually
suspended With the cessation of European
trade and tho rather limited development of
China thus far the American manufacturer
has an opportunity never before given him.
"E.cept here nnd there China Is In a
condition that offers years nnd years of
telling and developing by somo one. China
Is the best field. It Is larger and less
developed than Japan. And It Is waking
up The American manufacturers who get
their 60ods Into China now nnd establish
American standards and trademarks can
have the trade of China for yeurs to come
The Chinese are characteristically conserva
tive. They dislike changing brands.' They
will stick to anything American that has
merit and reaches them beforo products
made elsewhere "
Mr Arnold has detailed Information on
every need of the Chinese people and the
particular lines of goods that can be sold
there. He also knows what markets can be
developed that do not exist now.
'There are only 6000 miles of railroads
in China," said Mr Arnold, "hut tho ter
ritory Is bigger than that of tho United
States, Central America nnd Mexico com
bined Thero will be railroad building In
the future There Is a market for Ameri
can railroad supplies."
CAPITAL ALSO NEEDED
For the successful development of China
for manufacturers hero the Invasion should
be accompanied by American capital, Mr.
Arnold said Tho nation that lends to
China can have Chinese trade. Chinese
prefer American capital because it has no
political string to It, he said
Manufacturers hero need fear no political
uphesvels In China, Mr. Arnold believes.
The present government Is stable and there
Ii no reason to believe any trouble will
irlse In tho future. Another advantage he
., mied for trading with China Is that the
Import duties have been fixed at fi-vo per
.cent, and that the rate ban be changed only
with consent of several nations bound by
treaty. Japan, ho said, needs textile and
hlpbuildlng machinery.

Police Court Chronicle
Much sympathy was expressed for Dan
Mallon as ho searched the sidewalk near
Front and Dauphin streets for a 5 gold
piece.
The first passer-by on seeing Dan on
hands nnd knees with a lighted match de
clared It was "too bad." Ho struck a match
and Joined In tho hunt. Tho flicker of the
flame showed a trace of tears In Dan's
eyes.
Another man happened along. Ills
curiosity was irroiiRed by the twej men
searching tho sidewalk. He struck a match
and Joined In tho hunt. Dan searched the
gutter and oven tho btreet. Just ns his
matches were exhausted two other men
came along. Fortunately each had a box of
matches. They willingly contributed them
for the search nnd Joined In it themselves
Tho sight of flvo men searching the
street with tho aid of lighted matches soon
attracted half a dozen others. As there
were Indications that traffic might be
blocked a pop paused to Investigate.
Ho was sorry, too, on learning that Dan
was searching for a $5 gold piece.
"Where did you loso It?" asked the bluo
coat. "Oh, I didn't lose any." said Dan, "I was
Just lookln' fer one." All the matches went
out at once.
"Bun him In." shouted tho sympathizers.
Tho cop took Dan by the neck and ran him
straight to tho Trenton avenue and Dauphin
street station.
When Magistrate DIetz heard of the
trouble, ho gave Dan a lecture and made
him apologize to several of tho men who
had aided him In the hunt for tho mythical
money.

Ists of New Jersey nnd Pennsylvania who
use tho Lincoln Highway nre Interested
in tho movement for the freeing from
toll of tho sixteen bridges that span tho
Delawnre Hlver between Trenton and Port
.Tervls. There is now avnllable $200,009
for tho beginning of tho purchase of the
toll bridges by this Stato and by'Tenn
sylvanla. each State having appropriated
$100,000 for the purpose. New Jersey's
appropriation became avnllable Novem
ber 1 and Pennsylvania's has been avail
able for a year.
Statistics collected by nutomoblllsM
show that there nre only four toll bridges
In tho entire courso of the Lincoln High
way, a distance of 3333 miles. Three of
these hro Interstate bridges nnd tho fourth
Is In Pennsylvania Tho Pennsylvania
bridge Is that spnnnlng tho Stirmehanna
Hlver at Columbia nnd Wrlghtsvllle. Pa It
Is owned by tho Pennsylvania nallrunit
Company, nnd the toll Is from twenty-llvo
to fifty cents, depending upon tho size of
the nutomnblle nnd 'ho number of passengers.
The three Interstate bridges aro tho
one spanning tho Delaware Hlver at Cal
houn street, Trenton, and ono spanning the
Mississippi rtlver at Clinton. la., and one
spanning thj Missouri Hlver at Council
Bluffs The tolls for automobiles over the
Trenton brldgo nre from ten to twenty
cents; over the one nt Clinton, fifteen to
twenty-five cents, nnd over tho one nt
Council HlufTs, fifteen to twenty-five cents.
It Is understood that tho automobillsts
will petition the New Jersoy and Penn
sylvania Free Ilrldge Commission, of which
Governor Hrumbaugli, of Pennsylvania, Is
chairman, to free tho Calhoun street hrldge
at Trenton ns tho first of tho sixteen bridges
connecting New Jersey and Pennsylvania
to be freed. This bridge Is on tho Lincoln
Highway and catries about eighty per cent
of tho automobile trafllc between New
Jersey and Pennsylvania
There Is a vast nbundance of ducks
throughout South Jersey. Most of them
urn tilnek. nnd seem to defy the gunners.
Hunters who Inhabit this part of Jersey
believe that the fowl were driven In by the
recent light storms along the coast.
Should they continue to flock southward
In Jersey In such largo .number the price
of duck nt least will be reasonable for
Thanksgiving In this neighborhood.
The Inrgo army of ducks Incidentally Is
bringing prosperity to the professional
guides, who know every nook nnd corner
of the duck haunts in Jersey These guides
charge from $6 to $7 a day for their serv
Ices.
Although tho duck season opened October
1 nnd gunner have been after them In
droves, there seems to be little diminution
In the fowl population. There Is also an
nmplo supply of geese flying about. Marks
men who have bagged somo of them say
they are of excellent vnrletynnd show no
sign of having been worried by tho high
cost of living.
Tho best duck hunting now Is In the
neighborhood of Harnegat. Tho best time
to go after ducks Is early In tho morning
nnd in tho evening. At this time tho steady
fusillade of shots can ho heard ntong hunt
ing grounds.
With duck hunting nt its height and the
opening of tho rabbit season last Friday
In Jersey, the State is fairly covered with
hunters There seems to be enough game
for all concerned and many, no doubt, will
return with good crops of food for the cold
spell.
Tho season far waterfowl hunting closes
on January 15 and the rabbit senson on De
cember IB.
