TRADE REVIEW
Several Factors Contribute to a
Brighter Situation.

New York, Oct. 5.-Dun's com
mercial review for the past week
says:
THE abnormal business conditions
created by wal continue and caution
and retrenchment still halt enterprise
yet there Is p significant growth OF
confidence. Several factors contrib
ute to this situation. Undoubtedly
the Improvement in the financial mar
kets is slow, but Ii is steady and the
measures taken to permit limited
dealings in securities under stringent
regulations make at least the partial
opening of the London and New
York exchanges a nearer possibility.
Another factor is the active ex-
port movement of grain.
Failures for the week in the
United States were Ais against 254
last year, and in Canada, 60 against
SO last year.
Bank clearings were ~,4SS,
600, a decrease of 1928 per cent from
a year ago"

FAMINE HORRORS
Belgium a Scene of Desolation-Peo-
pie Face Starvation.

London, Oct. 5.-Seven hundred
thousand persons in Brussels are
facing starvation, according to Hugh
Gibson, secretary of the American
embassy there, who is in this city.
The last apportionment of -four to
the citizens of Brussels will be given
out this afternoon, and other staples
are virtually all consumed.
Efforts to get food from Antwerp
have failed. inasmuch as Brussels
is in charge of the Germans, 1t Is in
effect German territory. Neutral ma
tions could not undertake to supply
food to Brussels, ever IL transporta-
ton facilities were normal.
A graphic picture of the desola-
tion of Belgium was brought to Lon
don by J.. III. Whitehouse, member OF
parliament from Lanarkshire, who
has just returned from a tour around
Antwerp to assist in relief measures.
Having always regarded war as
the negation OF all that is good"
said Mr.. W~hitehouse, Il desired to
see what its rayages were in a coun-
try exposed to all its fury and what
steps we're possible to mitigate them.
1 do not think that anyone here has
realized the plight of the civilian pop
ulation OF Belgium today, and / can
attempt to give a picture OF 1t oply
by describing some Of my w ex-
p%eriences."
Mr.. Whitehouse made the journey
outside Antwerp with two military
cars, attended by Belgian officials.

In describing the damage which he
says the Belgians had to inflict upon
themselves TO supplement the de-
fenses of Antwerp, he said:
Hundreds of thousands of trees
had been cut down so that at some
points of u journey we had the inn
preston of passing through a wilder
ness of roots. The tree trunks had
been removed SO as to afford no cover
to the enemy. All houses had been
blown up or otherwise destroyed.
Later we passed through the country
which had been flooded as a further
measure of defense. The damage re-
sulting from these precautionary
measures alone amounted to G1,0OO,-
600 $4,000. 1000. In the villages
all ordinary life was arrested. Wom-
en- and children were standing or sit
ting, dumb and patient, by the road
side. Half way to Termonde we
could plainly hear the booming of
guns and saw many evidences of the
battle which then was raging"

BOYS CALLED "SILLY SIMPS''
College Professor Remarks Number of Dandies in Freshman Class
 Was Really Appalling.

A girl of eleven came home from dancing school the other day and said to her mother: Nearly all the boys at dancing school are so queer; their hair is all fused up, and they do nothing but simper around us girls and look in the glass to straighten their neckties, and pull down their coats. can't think of any name for them but silly simps.'" A little in- quiry revealed that in other quarters besides that dancing school the "silly simp" (the same that used to be called the sissy boy'O seems to be fourishing. A college professor re- ports that he has recently remarked to one of his colleagues that the num- Der of dandies in the freshman class was really appalling. We used to have to appeal constantly to the fel- lows to look after their appearance" he said. "But now we have oftener to tell them not to think so much about it." This led lady who heard heard him to say, T know a boy of fifteen who actually spent one solid hour the other night in getting his hair fixed for party" Perhaps we shall have to stop scolding the girls for awhile and turn our attention to these vain boys.-Kate Upson Clark. in Leslie's.

came home from the hunt with some deer meat over his shoulder, he found that the boys had killed Selu and put her head up on top of the house. Ka nati was angry. and went of to tall to the wolves about his bad sons.
 We will go and destroy your sons,' said the wolves, and Kanati told then how to find the house.
 But the Wild Boy had heard Kanat say he was going to the wolves, ana so he changed into tuft of birds down and went along, perched on Ka nati's shoulder. And when Kanati hat told the wolves how to find his sons the Wild Boy changed back into his own shape and ran to tell the sons oi Kanati how to prepare for the coming of the wolves.
 The Wild Boy told the two sons oi Kanati to run around the house in wide circle and make trail, leaving just one narrow opening at the point where the wolves would come from And then they made some bundles of arrows. which they laid down just out side the circle.
 And when the wolves came running to destroy the sons of Kanati, they did not see the circle until they were in side; and then the circle became a high brush fence, with just the narrow opening the boys had left. With their bows and the arrows they had fixed the Wild Boy and the two sons oi Kanati began killing the wolves. They thought they had killed all of them, but two got away, and those two be came the father and mother of all the wolves in the world today.
 And then the old man would say to the boys he had caught trying to break into the storehouse:
 To-day there is no Wild Boy to help you out, but there are plenty of wolves in the woods! So, you must wait until the pot is on the fire and your mother tells you that she has something for you to eat"

YELLOWSTONE PARK SHORT CUT.
Final Survey of the BuffaIo-Hazelton
 Road Nearing Completion.

 Road Nearing Completion.
 Denver.-The forest service has a crew at work making final survey or the Buffalo -Hazelton road, preparatory to completing construction work be- gun last summer. This strip of road. crossing the Big Horn national for est, forms an important link in the Black and Yellow trail leading from Belle Fourche, South Dakota, through Sundance, Moorcroft, Gillette, Buffalo. Hazelton, Hyattville, Basin, and Cody to the east entrance of the Yellow stone national park.
 According to forestry officials, the completion of the Buffalo-Hazelto road comprises one of the most i'm portant road projects in the national forests of the west. The successful outcome of the Black and Yellow trail Is said to have depended to great ex- tent upon this stretch of road, lead- Ing as it does across the Big Horn mountains, and the work accomplished last year fully demonstrates the feasi- bility of the route. With the comple- ton of the work this year, the Black and Yellow trail will be placed on the map.
 Not only will the advantages of this road be felt along the route of the Black and Yellow trail, but by tourists from Colorado points as we'll. The Denver National Parks trail con nects with the Black and Yellow trail at Buffalo and persons desiring a short cut to the park will have access to the Buffalo -Hazelton road across the Big Horn mountains in preference to going around by Billings.

NEW MEXICO STATE FAIR.
Second Edition of Premium Book
 Necessary This Year.

Albuquerque-For the first time in fair at Albuquerque, a second edition of the fair premium book has been made necessary. The premium books were issued early this year. The lists carry total of more than $4,000' in cash prizes for agricultural and live stock displays alone. and with the best year on record on both farm and ranch, the demand from prospective exhibitors has been enormous. The new edition is now being printed and Secretary Tom Binkert at Albuquer- que announces that those who desire the book should make application at once.
 The fair commission is gratified at the statewide spirit of cooperation shown this year. Every section of the state is showing lively interestsin the success of the fair and especially in the exhibit departments. Fourteen county and local fairs to date have fixed their fair dates just prior to the state fair, Oct. to 10, so that the pick of exhibits at the local fairs may be taken to the state exposition. and the number of individual exhibits will be double that of any previous year. The largest agricultural exhibit ever held in the state was at Albuquerque in connection with the national irriga- 'tion congress. The state fair exhibit this year is now certain to exceed that exhibit both in size and character of the exhibits.

 Long time ago the little Indian boys used to get hungry at times when there was no pot on the fire, and then they would watch until they thought no one was looking so that they might get 8 chance to take from the store house of the dried meat and roasted corn which they loved.
 But generally one of the old men, who could no longer go out to the woods to hunt. would catch the boys before they got the food. And when the old man had caught the boys he would take them to his house, shaking his head and saying:
 'Well, you must have seen the Wild Boy today!" And the boys would then ask the old man to tell them about the Wild Boy. And while the old man hunted around in his house for some bits of dried meat for the boys. he would tell them of the time the Wild Boy of the woods saved the two sons of Kanati, the Wise Man, from the wolves.
 Once Kanati and his wife Selu lived in a settlement where there was plenty of game and plenty of corn and beans, and no one ever went hungry for even half day. They had two young sons, and as the boys grew up they began to wonder how it was that Kanati and Selu could get game and corn so easily.
 One day when their mother, Selu, went into the storehouse to fill her basket. the boys pulled out piece of the clay from between the logs of the storehouse and watched their mother. They saw her come in and set down her basket and rub her hands over her stomach-and at once the basket was half full of corn! Then she rubbed her hands under her shoulders and the basket was filled with beans!
 Our mother is a witch-woman!" cried the boys, and they decided that they must kill her. And when Kanati

one of the leading industries of Amer ica Is contained in the records of the American Catholic Historical society Of Philadelphia, prepared by a direct descendant of the original American papermaker
 The exact date of the opening of the old Wilcox mill Is unknown, although it appears that James M. Willcox paid taxes in the town of Concord, Pa. as early as 1725. From its establishment until 1775 little is known of the opera tions of the mill. but at the latter date the first paper for Continental curren- cy was manufactured. and here, too. was made some of the paper used by Benjamin Franklin, who was at that time operating printing office in Phil adelphia-
 In 1776, when the war made impos- sible the importation of foreign paper. congress realized the necessity of keeping in operation the paper mills in the vicinity of Philadelphia. which pro duced nearly one-half of all the paper made in the colonies, and resolved. That the papermakers in Pennsylva- mia be detained from proceeding with their associates to New Jersey"
 As illustrating the importance of the manufacture of paper in those days and the limited number of manufactur- CTS engaged in the business, the ex- perience of Nathan Sellers in May. 1776, may be told. Nathan Sellers was an expert fin the manufacture of molds used in the making of paper, and while he was serving in the patriot army the papermakers experienced so much difficulty in obtaining proper molds that a petition was addressed to congress praying that Nathan Sell CTS be ordered to return from service to make the proper. suitable molds for carrying on the paper manufactory." This petition received favorable ac- tion.
 The Wilcox mill made the first bills containing water marks for the state of Pennsylvania and also manufac- tured paper for the currency of several other colonies. Years later paper for the currency of the Confederation of States was made at the same estab- hshment. and it was to the old Ivy mills also that the government applied in. 1872. It was at the latter period that distinctive paper with colored silk threads woven through 1t was made for the governments use.
 The first machine, for grinding wood into pulp was invented in many in 1S44, but it was in the Ul ( States that. sulphite fiber was first used in 1867, resulting in the production. very much more cheaply than previously. of strong cellulose fiber from spruce wood.
 The American paper trade began its real development about the year 1850. and it's progress since that date has meyer been interrupted. New and wider machines soon replaced the old narrow ones, and the rapid advances in prices of cotton helped to popularize the use of many articles made of paper. The result was an equally marked advance in paper prices
 Paper machines used from 1870 to 1885 produced paper at what was then regarded as the tremendous speed of 130 feet minute on machines of a. maximum width of from S6 to 90 inches Many modern high speed ma chimes are now running night and day on news paper at almost five times that speed
