CORK l. D. A. WILL SEND MEN
 TO THE U. s.
Delegation to Promote Irish
 Trade Interests.

Dublin. Aug. 10 Correspondence fo the Associated Press. )-The Cork Industrial Development Association has decided to send a commission to the United States to promote Irish trade interests there, and Irish man ufacturers and other buyers or sell lers in the American market are showing keen interest in the enter prise.
 In this connection the reports of five Irish banks are made public. They show that the amounts they hold on deposit and credit accounts total f96,OOO,OOO being an increase of nearly f25,OOO,00O over last year. It is estimated that when the results of the Royal Bank and of the three Belfast banks are known and added the total Irish bank deposits will be seen to be about f15O, O,OOO,OOO.
 The project of making Galway a great transatlantic port has been revived. The scheme proposed would cost f2,OOO,OOO of which parties in- terested would put up seven hundred thousand and ask the government to supply the balance. A deputation to the government has been arranged.
 Since the Irish Housing Bill has passed through Parliament the local authorizes have submitted for the ap- provaI of the local Government Board proposals for 224 sites com prising more than 1,G34 acres Of these fl have been approved already covering 7S9 acres and sufficing for 5,5S6 houses. The chief housing acti- witty so far is Munster which has put forward more than half of the pro- jects.

PRICE LEVEL MAY NEVER
 COME DOWN

Admittedly the general average price level may never get back where 1t was before the war; but few in deed are the thoughtful men who do not expect prices to go halfway back within a reasona ble time.
 Instant response to these economic factors cannot be expected. The busi ness world is not a movie show in which the whole performance is over in an hour; and the high price levels may continue for a few weeks or for months, depending upon monetary and trade developments. However, the main points are that the vast amount of idle producing capacity is sure proof that there will be a greater increase in the total supply of goods; and that the tightness of the money market equally demonstrates that the time is not far off when producers and merchants will be shading prices because of inability to finance them selves otherwise.
 In brief, the notion that the existing price level will be permanent is sheer nonsense. There is not a scrap of evil dence in the business situation to sus- tain it, and 1t is contrary to all the principles of economies, and to all the teachings of past experience. II is belief which immediately disappears upon attaining the slightest knowl- edge of the subject.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-08-30
MANY WILD
 FLOWERS ARE
 DEADLY POISON
Several of Most Dangerous Are Discussed In
 Magazine.

"It Is rather alarming to realize that a number of the wild flowers of which we are all so fond contain deadly poisons," says an article in "On Natures TraiT' in the September issue of the Boy Scout magazine, Boys Life.
 "The danodn Is an instance in point. Its long. narrow leaves contain a powerful irritant poison, and chil- dron should be warned most strong ly against chewing them.
 "The common foxglove contains a poison which has the most extraor- dinary effect upon the heart, whose action may be reduced to only sev entoen beats to the minute. Of an one thus poisoned, the pupils of the eyes are widely dilated, and his only chance of life is to lie absolutely still until the doctor comes.
 Everyone knows the wild arum or cuckoo-pIant, with its big heart shaped, glossy leaves. A most dan gerous plant it is, too. If you chew a leaf, your tongue swells enormous ly; so much so that you will be all most unable to swallow. Melted but ter is the best remedy for poisoning " this plant.
 "The most dangerous of all com mon. hedgerow plants is the aconite or monks hood, which has palm shaped leaves A very small dose causes a strange tingling all over the body, and partial blindness. A little more and death Is certain.
