Drier for PHOTOGRAPHERS.

Chloride of calcium is sometimes
used to absorb moisture and keep GER
tain Photographic products dry, such
as platinum paper or carbon paper;
but photographer has discovered
that cardboard of the heavy kind will
act as q good drier. The card is used
in rough sheets, it being well dried
by heat and then wrapped in waXed
paper SO as to leave only the edge
of the board free and thus not absorb
moisture too quickly.

EXPECTED TO SEVER
RELATIONS WITH GERMANY
iBy Associated Press. !

WASHINGTON. April s.-In Latin
American diplomatic quarters here il
was said late to-day that Or. Nul!cr's
refusal to receive the German minister
TO Brazil undoubtedly meant that the
government definitely had decided to
sever diplomatic relations with Ger
many.
DIR. Mullcr's orders that steamer be
prepared lat once for II mission abroad"
was interpreted "a meaning that the
Brazilian government Siso had deter
mined to arrange for the immediate de-
parture of the German officials. II was
considered doubtful that forty-six Ger
man ships In Brazilian ports would be
seized at this time unless it should ap-
pear that the vessels might attempt
escape. or within danger of being dam
aged or destroyed by their crews.
