SHEF0RGED CHECKS
FORHERSOKSBABY

WILI1IAASPORT. Pa. March 1S.-
Minnie L. Brown. OF this city. pleaded
guilty before Judge wilmer, In Unit
ed States court. to a charge OF forg-
ing her daughter-in-law's name TO
two Government allotment checks,
and was given a light sentence by the
court. who was moved by the pitifuI
story told by the woman.
Two checks. tOtaliBg $3.50. drawn IN
favor OF the wife Of her son, who is
member Of the American expedf-
tionary forces. came into the hands
OF Mrs. Brown while her daughter-in-
law was in a hospital following the
birth OF a son. Hard pressed for
money to gay the hospital bill. the
woman forged the name Of her
dauEhteT-in-laW and had the cheeks >
eashed. Part OF the money she Sc
cured was used to pay the hospital
expenses. the burial expenses OF the
child. which died when only a few
weeks old. and the funeral expenses
OF another son OF the woman.
These circumstances. together with
the fact that the soldier son il in an
army hospital in France, led the court
to exercise clemency in her case by
ordering her TO make restitution and
TO pay a fine OF $25.

ASKS EXPORTERS
TO EXTEND TIME

RIO DE JANETRO. March 19-L
F. Phillip. United States commercial
attache. said that American exporters
should extend the time for payment
on shipments of goods to Brazil IN
order TO avoid cancellation of many
contracts.
The port is becoming cougestAd
with merchandise, much Of which has
been rejected by the consignees," sa j
Phillip. Some of the dealers have
good grounds for their action. while
others are merely taking advantage
Of technicalities. But the rejection
OF goods is largely due to the fear
OF falling prices and the impossibility
OF paying Immediately. the duties on
accumulated shipments which are
greatly in excess of ordinary require
ments.
Many cancellations and reflections
of orders would be avoided il an ex-
tension OF time drafts could be al
ranged. Representatives Of American
firms are unable to protect their Gus
toners by dispOsing Of rejected mHr-
chandise because they lack the cu-
thority. The failure TO send docu-
mentS on the same steamer with TIE
merchandise also is causing delay and
difficulties in disposing of shipments.
The banks should extend time
drafts already discounted by the eX
porters, who then could extend the
same accommodation to the importers
who. though financially sound. are
unable TO pay Immediately for mer-
chandiSe shipped on accumulated or
ders which have been delayed by the
war. An additional six months would
enable the importers to take deliv-
cry. preventing a loss from storing
in warehouses.
American banks. manufacturers
and exporters should be urged TO CO.
operate on a practical plan to faciii-
tate dispatch and delivery OF rejected
to the Brazilian trade
before delay causes depreciation and
loss OF money and pres
t!ge. II must not be inferred that
OF ALLEGATION OF tonnage is
