reported today when the members Of the
various committees who are working
for new Emergency Hospital gathered
together for their daily luncheon meet
ing. The total amount subscribed up
to date is $116.256.73.
The returns received today were graft
fying to the members of the committees.
for the heavy downpour of rain prevented
many of the campaign workers from en-
gasing in any very active soliciting, and
up until the time the reports were hand
ed in it was feared that the showing for
the day would be much smaller.

tons amounting to $1,000. This included
one subscription Of 81 900 from A. Lisner
DIR. Carr's team reported subscriptions
aggregating $1.463-3S. Team F, of which

1000 Boy Scouts. Troop No. AZ reported
So and No. 10, $37. The territory han
died by both of these troops was only
half covered when these reports were
received.
Rain Hampers Boy Scouts.
Because of the rain a number of peo-
pie who planned to give a contribu-
ton to the scouts failed to tie the sig
nal tag on their front door, it was
learned today. A request has been sent
out by the campaign committee that
any subscriptions which the scouts fail
TO collect be mailed into the head
quarters.
This evening the scouts will turn ovel
the contributions which they have col
lected to their respective scoutmasters
who in turn will see that they reach the
100000 fund headquarters.

at the headquarters this morning wal
one of So, which was forwarded to Mrs
W. j. Boardman by Francis Kreft. q

TO END Of Current YEAR
Brazil Extends Preferential
Treatment of American
Flour and Cement.

The Brazilian government has by de-
cree extended until the end of the current
year the preferential treatment of Amer
lean flour, cement and other articles.
This decree is regarded as Of the ut
most Importance to American milling and
cement interest. For the past month the
State Department has been deluged with
letters and Geographic appeals from
northwestern interests to secure some
definite statement from the Brazilian
government as to it's intentions regard
ing this dfferential.
Value of Flour Trade.
The -four trade alone with Brazi
amounted to about 100000 per annum
Withholding of the differential would
have turned this whole market over tC
the Argentine millers. who even now are
making a strong bid for it in the face OF
a practical rebate Of 80 per cent to the
American millers.
Every year the Brazilian congress has
included in one of the regular appropria.
t1on bills provision empowering the
executive to grant this differential te
America.
Probably owing to irritation over
the treatment by the United States OF
the coffee valorization scheme, the
President OF Brazil authorized the con-
tinuance of the preferential arrange
ment only up to April 9 last
