URGES USE IF MILK
 IN SCHOOL LUNCHES

Mrs. Charles R. Howe, director of fhe child hygiene division of the state board of health, has approved the plan of Clarence Dana, state dairy commissioner. who is advocating milk diets for school children.
 For some time Mrs. Howe has em- phasized the importance of milk as food and has asked the schools to make it available claiming there would be a decided difference in the physical condition of the children.
 "There would be fewer cases of maultnutrition if the children had a luncheon of milk rather than pickles, candy and ice cream she said yes , terday in discussing the subject.
 T thoroughly agree with MT. Dana as to the desirability of increasing the amount of milk consumed by the average child, and in particular as it pertains to school lunches."
 Mrs. Howe forwarded posters em- phasizing the importance of milk in the diet of the growing child to many of the schools and clubs in the state

COTTON CONDITION
 WORST ON RECORD
GOVERNMENT ESTIMATE Us BUT
 49.3 PER CENT
Report as of August 25 shows . Reduction of 1,166,ooo Bales in the Estimated Final Production, Gem pared With Forecast July 25.

WASHINGTON. Sept 1.-The De- partment of Agriculture in a report issued today placed the condition of the cotton crop as of August 25 last at z9.3 per cent This is the lowest monthly condition report ever issued by the Government. the average for ten years being 67.7-
 The decline in, the condition of the cotton crop during August reduced the estimated production for this year 1.116.000 bales as compared with the previous months report. The estimate now stands at 7.037.oo0 bales of 56o pounds gross.
 Heat Cuts Crop
 The protracted dry spell. recent hot weather and boil weevil have combined to reduce the estimate. Recent weather and condition reports from the cotton belt indicate that further deterioration has occurred since August 25. the date upon which the report is based. The Government weather report made public yesterday reported further declines in the condition. especially in most of Oklahoma and Texas
 In commenting on the condition. which Department of Agriculture rec ords estimate to be the worst in the history of the cotton growing industry. the department days:
 "Everything Wrong"
 Everything seems to have gone wrong with the crop. In southern South Carolina. in Georgia and Arkansas and in portions of other States excess rain- fall and cool weather have combined to give big weed. which the boil weevil in the flush of early invasion has at lacked voraciously. In Oklahoma. not withstanding heat and drouth, it is worse than ever experienced In Texas it is the chief cause of deterioration
 "The mild winter is held responsible for sparing an unusual number of wee wills. as well as other insects which have multiplied beyond measure and are devastating the new growth in prac- tically all the area of it's present range. The army worm is present in large numbers throughout most of Arkansas. Tennessee and North Mississippi. Tn North Carolina and Virginia the long drouth has been almost as destructive as the weevil elsewhere.

General Motors.

The rise IN stock of General Motors
Corporation yesterday was accompanied
by two reports; one that the company
would declare its regular dividend at a
meeting to be held to-day and the other
that a movement was on foot to increase
the par value of it's stock and to de-
crease the number of its shares out
standing. In connection with the divi-
dend the statement was made In an au-
thoritative quarter several weeks ago
when production was at low ebb, that
the company could earn and pay regu-
lar dividends on the basis OF 20 per cent
Of capacity operations. AS a matter OF
fact. the operations have been at a
larger capacity percentage and the regu-
lar dividend is anticipated In we'll in
formed quarters. n there is any move
ment on foot to increase the par value
Of the stock, the officers of the company
do not know OF it and the report Is given
little credence. The stock showed a net

Foreign Exchange.

Wall Street was somewhat puzzled
yesterday by the failure of sterling to
respond to the stimulus of the settling
of the British coal strike. AS a matter
of fact that settlement was a construc-
tive factor, and without it the decline In
sterling might have been much greater
than the 2 cents net decline recorded.
Included in factors which increase the
value of the dollar as expressed in terms
of European currency were a freer
offering of commercial bills drawn In
francs and guilders. The foreign ex-
change dealers who bought guilders and
francs promptly sold sterling. partly as
covering operation and partly as q
transfer to sterling funds. which enjoy
a steadier market. There was also an
indirect effect from the payment by the
German Government OF $4,000, 900 marks
In European currency. but the payee
lost no time in converting the currencies
into dollars, the principle being that the
United States is free market in gold
and hence the most desirable for the
domciliation Of idle and free funds.

Call money touched per cent. yes

the renewal rate Of ~ per cent 1t Is
possible that there will be an even higher
maximum to-day. owing to the with
drawal of $29,000.000 of United States
deposits and the continuation Of prepa-
rations for the interest. dividend and
maturity disbursements. The rate yes
terday was the highest since June II
and the current stffening Is expected to
yield to easier rates by the first Of next

trend is toward lower rates, which may
last until the crop harvesting and NOV
