COMMERCIAL
Weekly Review of Trade and
Market Reports.
Bradstreets, Saws:

Trade reports as a whole are
more uniformly favorable than for
some time past. Distribution at re-
tail has quite generally improved,
largely because of colder weather and
the realization of bumper corn and
oats crops, though some parts of the
Southwest and the South report that
open weather has deferred improve
ment. However, the much better
business done in retail lines has in
turn resulted in a larger volume OF
jobbing recorders, particularly for
seasonable dryEoods, boots and shoes
and women's wearing apparel At
first hands quiet still continues in the
textile trades, and, while the under
current is conservatively cheerful,
there is no anticipation of future
business in larger volume"
e. G. Dun d co S Weekly Review
of Trade says
In its bearing upon the future
buying power of the country the most
important development of the week is
the official confirmation of the har-
vesting of the biggest corn crop on
record, considerably over 100000
600 bushels being the unparalleled
yield. The government report of cot
ton ginning is also helpful, indicat-
ing crop well in excess of last year.
The business outlook, however, Ia
still doubtful and under conservative
control, with the volume of transac-
tions considerably below full capac-
ity. The financial situation continues
to maintain an ascendency over the
commercial, and, while there is no
substantial recession OF the more
hopeful sentiment recently estab-
lished, financial conditions are not
clearly defined"

USE DOGS TO SOLVE CANCER

sent here to aid in investigating the
cause of the throat disease known as
goitIe. which is one of the numerous
forms of cancer"
That the cancerous disease affecting
both dogs and fishes is similar in ma
ture has already been established
That 1t Is Identical remains to be
demonstrated. The relation between
the two has not yet been worked out,
and that Is just what the scientists
want to learn, among other things.
DR.. Harvey r. Gaylord. who is in
charge of the experiments being made,
said:
"The dogs do not contract the can
Ger from the fishes, It is believed, but
by drinking water from the ponds
where the infected fish specimens
swim"
The United States government is at
present taking under consideration
the advisability of establishing a per-
manent station here where expert
ments In connection with cancer may
be made upon dogs in lieu of human
beings.

BARS SALE BIRDS PLUMAGE
Aierettes Cannot Be Sold by New
York Mlliners After July
Next by Statute.

New York.-The plumage OF forty
three specimens of birds formerly
used to decorate women's hats can.
not be sold by the milliners of New
York state after July 1 next, accord
ing to the annual report of the Ma.
tional Association of Audubon Socie-
ties
The most important feature of
law recently passed by the state leg
islature, the report continues, is the
prohibition of the sale of aigrettes.
New York is one of the three greatest
centers for the sale of aigrettes, the
others being Paris and London.
The aigrette Is taken from the
mother bird when nesting. and costs
her life and the life of the young
birds. The Audubon societies have
been fighting for the protection of
these birds for many years.
The passage of the so-called plu-
mage bill will prevent the use of
their plumage as well as that of most
wild birds of the country and all the
birds native Of New York state.

ings?
Through the establishment OF a test
bureau at the United States fish
hatcheries here the government In.
tends to try and settle for all time
this much mooted question. Dogs are
to be used In the experiment. A half
dozen little mongrels which will be
enrolled as charter members of the
cancer squad. have just arrived, ac-
compapied by DR.. Harvey r. Gaylord,
director of the Gratwick cancer labor
atory at Buffalo, N. Y. The doctor
has achieved fame through his discov-
cries that the laws of immunity ap-
ply to cancer.
The dogs are to be fed on the best
and most healthful sterilized food,
have the best sanitary quarters and
have canine physician all their own.
To appease their thirst they are only
allowed to drink of a pond In which
there are fish. These fish and the
dogs, carefully tended, may thus be
made to solve another of the great
puzzles of the medical world. That
is, If the cancerous procllvities Of the
fish are transmitted through the wa
ter, then the dogs, It is believed, will
show II and prove that the danger Of
this disease is ever present for hu-
man beings who drink water in which
fish live.
Prof. Charles G. Atkins, in charge
of the hatchery, says:
we now have a number of dogs
and expect shortly to receive more.

Smyrna times., 1910-03-23

DIR. Watt who has been pastor of
Asbury for six years was made sup
erintendent of Easton District in
place of Rev. R. K. Stephenson who
was transferred to Dover District.
DR.. Watt had been prominently
mentioned for Wilmington District
but Bishop Hamilton decided to put
him on Easton District at the last
moment. Following the last cabinet
meeting DR.. Stephenson was called
into the private council of the Bishop
and the matter was gone over. DR..
Stephenson was loathe to leave
Smyrna after purchasing his home
and having spent a pleasant year in
the District, but he told the Bishop
he was a loyal Methodist and was
willing to do anything for the best.
The Bishop assured him that it
would not be necessary for him to
move his residence to Dover and
that he could keep his residence here
for at least one year if not for all
the time, so the change was ma 'e.
Rev. DR.. Alpheus S. Mowbray, the
retiring superintendent of Whining
ton District, was sent to Asbury
Church to succeed DR.. Watt, and
Rev. DR.. E. L. Hoffecker was ap-
pointed superintendent of Whining
ton District. The Rev. William L.
White succeeds DR.. Hoffecker at
Wesley Church, Dover. The appoint
ment of DR.. Mowbray to Smyrna is
being received with a great deal of
pleasure as we'll as the pleasure. of
having Dr. Watt and his family re-
main residents of Smyrna. DR..
Mowbray is one of the big men of
Conference and Asbury is exceedingly
fortunate in having him. There is
also a strong and hearty wish on the
part of the people of Smyrna that
DR.. Stephenson and his good family
might remain residents of Smyrna.
