WASHINGTON, July 28.—A remarkable jump in
exports during June brought the total for the
fiscal year 1919 to more than $7,000,000,000, a
new record, according to a statement just issued
by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com-
merce.
The June exports are put at $918,000,000,
which exceeds the previous high record estab-
lished in April of this year by more than $200,-
000,000. The exports for June of last year were
valued at $484,000,000. Total exports for the
fiscal year stand at $7,225,000,000, as compared
with $5,920,000,000 for the fiscal year 1918. This
is more than three times the exports for 1914,
the last normal year. Exports since the armis-
tice was signed in November are estimated at
about $5,000,000,000. The excess of exports over
imports for the fiscal year 1919 was $4,129,000,-
000, against $3,000,000,000 the previous year and
less than $500,000 in 1914.
Imports for June were valued at $293,000,000,
a falling off from the total of $329,000,000 re-
corded for May, but an increase over the $260,-
000,000 for June of the previous year. Total im-
ports for the fiscal year just closed are placed at
$3,096,000,000, as against $2,946,000,000 for 1918.
The removal of wartime restrictions caused
a decided increase in the exports of gold of
from less than $2,000,000 each in April and May
to $83,000,000 in June. Gold exports for the fiscal
year amounted to $117,000,000, against $191,-
000,000 for 1918. Exports of silver fell off from
$29,000,000 in May to $13,000,000 in June, but
increased from $139,000,000 for the fiscal year
1918 to $301,000,000 for 1919.
The employes of Kohler & Campbell, Inc.,
are planning this year to repeat their annual
clambake and anticipation runs high over the
good time which is assured on this yearly occa-
sion. The event will take place at Stotzky's Bel-
vedere Park, North Beach, L. I., the date hav-
ing been set for Saturday afternoon, August 9.
The executive committee, Messrs. Kubelka,
Bartel, Bradner, Rammelkamp and Holmes, have
announced the following arrangements.
The outing will leave the Kohler & Camp-
bell factory at 12.30 p. m., sharp, having at their
disposal the entire motor truck fleet of Koh-
ler Industries. Arrangements have been made
for adequate seating facilities and participants
will have a speedy and comfortable trip to the
park.
Events have been planned for those inclined
to athletics, also some novelty races, etc., which
are bound to furnish amusement for the party.
Two baseball teams of men, employes of the
Kohler Industries, will cross bats in a game
scheduled for 3 o'clock—the teams have not yet
been announced, but the excellent baseball ma-
terial among Kohler employes will assure oppos-
ing line-ups that will give an interesting exhi-
bition.
Those who attended the previous clambakes of
the Kohler & Campbell employes have cause to
remember the pleasant time which was enjoyed
and also the rare quality of food which was
placed at their disposal. The event this year
promises to excel all past performances.

PRAISE FOR HAZELTON GRAND
Prof. Nagle, Prominent Pacific Coast Authority
On Music, Praises This Instrument
Prof. M. Nagle, one of the foremost profes-
sors of music on the Pacific Coast, and a recent
purchaser of a Hazelton parlor grand, has writ-
ten W. M. Plaisted, vice-president of the Hazel-
ton factory, the following letter:
"From the agency of the local Heine piano
house I have bought a Hazelton parlor grand.
I have taught both here and abroad on most
renowned pianos, and in all sincerity I state
that during my twenty-five years of professional
career T was never so much pleased as with the
Hazelton grand piano.
"While most world-famed pianos generally ex-
cel in some special advantage, I find that the
Hazelton grand amalgamates all these qualities
and requirements particularized by other instru-
ments. The responsiveness to the touch from
the most delicate P. B. to the thunderous F. F.
required so often in our beloved Beethoven
Sonata is simply perfect, and again I assure you
through this voluntary testimonial that I am
proud to be in possession of a Hazelton grand
:
piano."

Despite Senate Committee's Approval, There
Are Some Senators Who Oppose It
WASHINGTON, July 28.—Favorable report was
made Friday by Chairman McLean, of the Senate
Banking Committee, on the bill by Senator Edge,
New Jersey, providing for the organization of
American corporations to extend credit abroad
and finance American trade in foreign countries,
which was referred to in last week's Review.
Senator Edge hopes to call the bill up for con-
sideration in the Senate next week. Senator
Gronna, Republican, of North Dakota, who op-
posed the bill before the committee, announced
he would continue the fight in the Senate.
Under the measure the Federal Reserve Board
would be authorized to grant charters to corpo-
rations having not less than $2,000,000 capital
stock. These corporations would not be per-
mitted to transact any business in this country
except that incidental to their international or
foreign business. The corporations would be
exempt from provisions of the Sherman Anti-
trust act.

ARRANGE TO PROTECT INVENTORS
International Research Convention Now Meet-
ing in Brussels Agree on International Patent
Bureau for the Protection of Inventors
A despatch from Brussels to the New York
papers this week says that the members of the
patents section of the International Research
Convention now meeting here reached an agree-
ment on the establishment of an international
patent bureau for the protection of inventors
who are now handicapped by costly and widely
differing laws of the various countries.
Under the new arrangement none of these
laws would be changed so far as native inven-
tors are concerned, but each country would sub-
scribe to an international arrangement protect-
ing foreign inventors. Thus an American inven-
tor would take out a patent in Washington to
protect him in the United States and then would
apply to the international bureau for protection
in every other country.

we'll tell you more.
