MODERN AMERICAN

Modern American farm implements
are the only hope of preventing re-

walton s;tua ton in Armenia and ada
cent states in Transcaucasian Russia,
Captain Ernest A. Yarrow, relief di-
rector for those areas, cabled Mary
land headquarters, near East Relief,
today He urged the immediate ship
ment of motor and horse tractors of
all descriptions for use on 10000
acres of land, that have been turned
over by the local governments to
American relief workers; to cultivate
by using the labor Of those whom
American charity is aiding.
Following this plan of constructive
relief in the Near East, word has been
received by the Near East Relief Office
in New York that the National
Grange, in session in Portland, Ore,
had offered to send tractor to the
Armenian farmers through the relief
organization. Offers of other agricul.
tural implements, which are badly
needed throughout the Near East,
have also been received from othel
sources.

Export Buying of Leather.

As in some other lines, the after
holiday period brought a moderate
revival of business in hides and
leather. Generally, however, the
situation still lacks activity. and the
prevailing tendency in prices Is one
of easing. . Such demand as exists
for hides is mainly for lightweight
upper leather stock, but calfskins
remain in steady request and certain
descriptions have moved at slightly
better prices. Some buying of patent
leather for European shipment, de-
spite the present rate of exchange,
has attracted attention. and there Is
an expectation that both domestic
and foreign trading will increase
from now on. 1t is believed, more
over, that footwear business will be
stimulated by the many displays and
conventions scheduled for this month
and August, and heavy turnover
Of seasonable white goods Is In
progress in retail channels. Follow
ing recent inventorying, New Eng
land factories are producing more
freely. with good many advance
contracts being received.

as to the prospect, the trade replies:
It's anybody's guess, but little
awakening is expected during the
balance of the year, assuming the
railroads do not come into the mar
ket." Should the latter appear as
buyers. all agree that the statistical
position of the market Is such rs TO
foreshadow a widespread revival.
On the bright side. evidence of a
revival in the demand for goods
from abroad stood out this week.
Banks did more business In foreign
exchange this week than in the pre-
ceding two months. The period OF
large grain shipments is approach
ing. The forerunner of this appeared
in the form OF numerous wheat bills
Supplementing these came exports OF
meats. oils, syrups and cotton. It Is
too soon, bankers said. to hurrah
over the turn in tide. Nobody pro-
fessed to be able to see more than a
month ahead. Compared with this
period a year ago. exports are far
less and much below the average for
the last six years. Practically every
thing in the outgo. present or pros
pective. takes the form of foodstuffs
or actual necessities. Little general
merchandise is being taken.
Complaints are heard of inability
to secure bank accommodation This
criticism emanated chiefly from
building operators. but investiga-
tion shows this Is misleading. Ample
credit is obtainable by those whose
lines have not been fully drawn upon
or over-extended. Indicating that
the credit situation is healthier than
in years. one of the largest banks
here reported itself out of debt with
the Fedora. reserve bank for the
first time s.nce the armistice. Our
bankers do not look for a cheaper
rate than s per cent for money, dur
ing the remainder. of 1891. but all
admit that money will be in better
supply. At the moment. financial in
stitutions are giving preference to
in Treasury notes, as
against commercial paper. This is
because OF the more attractive in
come basis and the minimum Of risk
involved. s

Especial Correspondsnee Of The washingtor
Herald and The New York Evening Post.)
PHILADELPHIA, July 1o.-Two
well-defned but seemingly contra
dictory phases developed in the gen
eral business situation this week, in
that the market for goods in nearly
all lines showed Q weak or sluggish
state, while the statistical position
became impressively strong. Produc-
tion, taken collectively, fell to ap-
proximately the lowest of the year
reducing quantities on hand to a few
weeks supply. Because OF small
margins of profit and doubt as to
future prices, the disposition was lo
shift the burden of carrying goods
to the producer. To put it in an
other way, there was little inclina-
tion to look ahead. Some attributed
this to labor uncertainties; others to
lack of assurance as to ability to get
necessary credit. This perplexing
situation was aggravated to no small
degree by the return from abroad of
rejected merchandise. Yet, wherever
one turned, the story was the same;
there was no accumulation of sup
plies on shelves.
Based on knowledge.
The attitude of conservatism is
indicated by the policy of jobbers
and retailers in contracting only for
actual wants. This stand was based
on knowledge that the manufacturer
had the goods and that they could
be had when wanted. Hence the dis
position to ''let the other fellow" as
sumo the monetary obligation. This
explains in part why bank clearings
here are running 25 to 81 per cent
below the corresponding period of
1920. 1t Is only fair to cite that a
share of this loss is represented by
the lower price levels contrasted
with those of a year ago. The lack
Of incentive Is most marked in iron
and steel. Producers in business, for
twenty years said they could not
recail greater depression than exists
today. The productive ratio reached
what Is eQu ivalent to suspension of
steel mills. This, curiously enough,
has been accompanied by a lowering
Of prices. Basic iron can be had as
low as $50 in carload lots; Valley
and Bessemer az s22 to s23. The
latter figures have. been shaded in
some instances. - Despite this. new
business has not come forward. Only
four out of forty blast furnaces in
in operation. At existing prices
plants in many cases are producing
at loss or coming out on an even
keel where specially favored circum-
stances apply. In answer to queries

DISCOVER FUNCTIONS

That the functions of the Board of

the legislature of 1921 at the same

LIFE OF HELEN KELLER
TO BE SHOWN IN MOVIES
"Deliverance," Dealing With Accom-
plishments of Famous Blind Girl,
viii Be Shown at High
School Friday Evening

How Helen Keller, one of the most
famous and interesting women of all
history, achieved her triumphant ca
reer despite the fact that from in
fancy she was unable to see, hear
or speak, will be shown in seven
reel motion picture film entitled De
liverance," next Friday evening, De-
cember Is, at 1880 o'clock, in the
high school auditorium.
In "DeliYerance" Helen Kellers
career is divided into three acts. 1t
is made dramatically strong by con-
trast with the parallel story of her
friend and childhood playmate, Mad
ia, daughter of foreigners who emf
grated to America.
The first act shows the childhood
of Helen and Nadia. Helen became
deaf, dumb and blind when IS
virtually little wild animal. Then
Anne Sullivan came into her life, and
together they began that conquest of
the mind which has won the praise of
the whole world During her child
hood Helen played and romped and
was as full Of mischief as any girl
who can see and hear and talk. Lit
tie Nadia, on the other hand, repect-
ed the opportunities offered her;
even as a child she was jealous of
Helen. Madja's life was embittered
by the accidental death of her father
and brother in a terrible storm,
which is realistically shown on the
screen.
In the second act we see Helen
and Nadia in maidenhood. Helen
goes to Radcliffe College, and
astounds everyone by her remark
able progress. Great men and wom-
en- pay her homage. The story of
her dream-love is shown with eX-
quisite beauty in classic illustrations.
Nadia also grows to maidenhood, is
rescued from insult by a struggling
yOuA6 llluoINilHB anu lCS hCI W
nance.
Womanhood is the subject of the
third act In this we see Helen Kel
Ter herself, just as she is now We
are given an intimate view of her
daily life, her hopes and ambitions
all amazingly interesting. We also
see Nadia in womanhood, fighting {,
bitter battle for life, all her love cen
tered in son, born after his father 5
death. Then Nadia, overwhelmed by
trouble and grief, turns to Helen Kel-
Ter, her childhood friend, and they
find happiness in the triumph over
adverse circumstances.
This touching and convincing story
! is filled with thrills and dramatic
power, and lightened here and there
with touches of refreshing comedy.
1t will well repay your patronage.
