BRAZIL is PICKING UP

Brazil has been able to export to
Europe foodstuffs which few years
ago she wns not able to supply to
herself. In the same way animal hus-
bandry is making strides which point
to making meat products one of the
country's chief exports. While Bra.
I'll has always been cattle produc-
Ing country, It is only during the last
three or four years that she has been

recently several large modern pack.
ing houses have been constructed or
projected. These are financed prlnci.
pally by American packing interests.
In the last year the federal govern.
ment. through the agricultural depart.
ment. has devoted considerable atten.
tion to the importation and purchns.
OF animals of pure blood. II is pro.
posed to carry on nm extensive educa.
tional campaign among the live stock
breeders OF Brazil to improve the
standard of cattle. For this purpose
the government intends to make lIh.
eral money appropriations.

IL was impossible for the negroes to
get the rights that had been promised
them for service in the army, and so
the government had called into exist

supported by the government in de-
fense of the negroes against the white
people.
He told them that it was necessary
for all members to arm themselves for
the day when they should be called
upon to attack their white oppressors.
The slogan of the organization Is

would bring DIR. V. Il. Powell as ex-

"a certificate was filed out and

LONDON SHUNS SKYSCRA2ER
aeement to Extend Building to
Great Height.

London.-The old question OF
whether or not London is to have sky
scrapers is being revived because OF
the high price of property In the bus-
ness section and the lack of space In
office buildings. Generally speaking.
London does not like tall buildings.
Percy Tubbs. past president of the
Society of Architects. declared that II
the skyscraper was to come 1t would
be necessary to widen the streets
"Space In London. however. is NOT
so scarce ns 1t Is In New York. which
is an island" he said.
American architects who are here
erecting huge apartment store have
repeatedly asked permission to extend
the main building high enough to nc
commodate not only the present busi.
ness of the concern. but u provide for
the future. and have met with no en-.
courngement.

FOKKER DEVISED
RADIO AIRPLANE'

Amsterdam.-M. Fokker, the Dutch
airplane expert who worked for the
Germans during the war, stated. in
an interview, that he had made II IL
lions of marks out of the Germans. but
would give half of them to prove to
the world thar he was never anti-ally.
II was making airplanes before the
war broke out" he said, "and when the
Germans asked me to make airplanes
for them l could only agree to do so.
1t was purely n financial matter.
1--WE are having an airplane exhi-
bition here in Amsterdam this month
and l find that all the English flying
men who come here are good sports
men. They don't nurse any grudge
against me for making airplanes for
the Germans. but the Fren nhmen-
they never Will forgive me- fear.
My machine brought down too many
Frenchmen. and they don't like my
name."
Germans Had $500.
Nj. Fokker said he built 3.6UO air
planes at his factories in Germany
for the Germans to use in the spring
drive of 1918, but the allies had five
to one. So the German army had to
quit.
"If the war had gone on for sew
eral more years how far would the
airplane have developed?" NJ FOX
ker was asked. .
His answer revealed wnat he de-
clared had been great military Sc
cret. "We would have put the artil-
lery out of commission" he said. I'VE
would have made the big guns as old
fashioned as spears. 1t was all the
fault of the army red tare in Berlin
that 1t was not begun sooner.
at was like this: In 1916 the army
authorities asked me If could make
very cheap airplane with very
cheap engine, capable of flying about
four hours, which could be steered
through the air by wireless waves.
"They intended to load each one Of
these airplanes with an immense bomb
and send them into the air under the
control of one flying man who would
shepherd them through the sky by
wireless like flock of sheep. He
would be able to steer them as he
pleased, and send them down to earth
in exactly the spot he selected.
"The German idea was that 1t was
tremendous waste to send shells

Freight Trade for First Half Of 1919

Favor.

Rio de Janeiro.-The foreign trade
of Brazil during the first half Of 1919
is regarded ns very encouraging. In
creased expectation Of some Of Bra
zil's staple commodities. such as cof-
fee. rubber. cacao. chilled beef. hides
oil bearing fruits. etc. as well MS the
high prices which these articles have
commanded, leaves very respectable
trade balance. That Brazil has rap
idly forged ahead commercially during
the years of the war is generally con-
ceded. The country's agricultural pos
sibIlitles nre as yet practically unex-
plotted. and the war acted as n stimu-
lus toward ascertainlng the wide
rnnge of her productivity.

 qualified endorsement of the 1919 Red Cross Christmas Seal sale, which Is now under way and which will extend for ten days under the auspices of the National Tuberculosis Association and It's 1000 allied organ izations. A fund of more than $6,500- GOO, which will be used in the 1920 ed ucational and preventive campaign, will be raised through the sale of the seals
 Acquainted as he is with all Ques- tions of general health community im- prorement and relief because of the nature of his work and office, pr. Far rand's endorsement is based upon an expert knowledge of what the Ma tional Tuberculosis Association has ac- complished and will accomplish in the future. His letter to Dr. Charles J. Hatfield, Managing Director of the Ma tional Tuberculosis Association, fol- lows:
 "I have been greatly interested in the plans that the National Tuberculo- sis Association Is making for the sale of Christmas Seals during the coming holiday season. The success of that effort is indispensable to the carrying out of the farreaching plans of the Association in its fight against tuber- eulosis in this country.
 "rhe American people, in common with the nations of Europe, are be- coming aroused to the critical imper- tance of the problem of vitality and conservation of health as the neees, sary factor in re-establishing the world after the devastation and de struction caused by the war. Of all the preventable diseases, tuberculosis takes perhaps the first place In impor- tance. For that reason 1 view with keenest sympathy and approval the splendid work which the National Tu- berculosis Association Is conducting, and I trust that the response of the American people in the Christmas Seal Campaign will be generous and univer- sal.

The bonds have been issued for the convenience of large subscribers and the proceeds of their sale will be used for the same purpose as the Christmas Seal funds-the financing of the 1920 effort to reduce the num- Der of deaths from tuberculosis in the United States. Last year the disease claimed 100000 lives. The health bonds can be obtained from state and local tuberculosis associations.
