BUSINESS SLUMP WAS PREVENTED
 BY ADVERTISING

The Manufacturers Record, in a recent editorial, takes the ground that what saved the United States from period of depression last spring was the policy of advertising. It calls attention to the appeal issued tween Parisian landlords, who seek to double or treble the income from their properties, and tenants, who are un- able to find vacant apartments at any reasonable price, has reached a dead lock.
 House owners refuse to extend leases or to advertise for rent apart ments that have been vacated. Ten ants, unable to find new quarters, re- fuse to move at the behest of the landlords, while the courts have ceased to entertain applications for writs of expulsion, there not being enough process servers to handle those already issued.
 Fifty thousand notices to vacate were served on tenants for the end of the second quarter of this year. Such notices were received by all the ten ants of some apartment houses, show ing how generally landlords have sought to increase rents. The extent of the movement has provoked the passage by the Chamber of Deputies of a bill extending for two years all verbal leases made since the begin ming of the war. Leases made prior to the war already were protected by decrees and previous legislation.

Mexico City, Friday. Aug. 22-Luis Carbaresa, Secretary of the Treasury, stated in an interview that the MeXi- can and American governments shoud sign an agreement for a recip- rocal border guard service as step toward preventing clashes between the two countries.
 Ygnacio Bon!llas Mexican ambas- sador at Washington, according to Senor Cabrera. would be "eminently fitted" for conducting negotiations with this object. The difficulties which prevented the adoption of such an agreement at Atlantic City in 1916 were due to the fact hat the American delegation wanted the agreement signed Immediately, he said, while the Mexican commission held out for a withdrawal of the Pershing expedition before reaching an agreement. Senor Cabrera point ed out that at present such a difficulty would not be met with, since the early withdrawal of the Eighth cavalry. now pursuing bandits in the state of Chihuahua, was expected.

CANNOT LOCATE GAR THAT HELD MURDER VICTIM

The Packard automobile which is being sought by the police ot Bridge port and other cities as one of the most valuable clues in connection with the murder of the Italian whose body was found in the bushes near the Post road in Milford. last Wednesday morning, has not yet been located. A vigorous search is beng made for the death car'' in every city and town in this vicinity, and unless the machine has been taken to some distant place it is hoped that it's whereabouts will soon be discovered.
 Aside from the automobile clue, which was given to the police by two men who claim to nave seen the car near the spot where the body was found the police seem to be no nearer Ia solution of the mystery shan they were last Wednesday when the body was discovered. The police are still on the trail, however, and new devel- opments are expected at any time.
 One report has it that :he sign of cross was slashed across the dead mans face, this giving rise to the be- lief that the victim may have met his fate at the hands of members of a certain gang of killers. The police are inclined to doubt this story, however, inasmuch as the mans face was SC badly mutilated that it is practically impossible to distinguish any definite mark on the countenance.
 Photographs of the dead man have been taken, and these will be sent out broadcast in hope that someone may recognize the victim.
