WEATHER BUREAU RECORDS
SETTLE MANY DISPUTES.

Over 90 per cent of cases involving
the loss of goods in transit, particu-
larly perishables, for which weather
conditions may be responsible, are
settled without ever coming into
court, after consultation with the
Weather Bureau of the United States
Department of Agriculture. The re-
port of the Weather Bureau as to its
records of temperature and other con-
dtions along the route in question is
usually accepted as final in such dis
putes. Sometimes the shipper and
sometimes the railroad or steamship
line is the one oask for the evidence
of the Gather Bureau, but both sides
accept the impartial records in the
Government files.

New Orleans, May 7.-Indications tonight were that the Louisiana leg islature, which is scheduled to con vene tomorrow at Baton Rouge, for the regular session, will take a re- cess for two weeks instead of ad- Journing sine die as some legislators had suggested on account ia score of parishes of the state being se riously affected by the Mississippi river flood.
 The matter was discussed today at a conference in Baton Rouge between Gov. John M. Parker and group of legislators, but no definite action was taken on account of absence of several members from the flooded parishes. It was said that practi- cally all of those who attended the conference, however, would favor 8 two weeks adjournment.
 There was no let-up today in relief work at all points in the flooded ter ritory. Boats securing the country adjacent ta the Ferriday crevasse con- tinued to bring refugees into the camps established near here.
 Several hundred flood sufferers were brought to New Orleans from the territory affected by the two breaks in the Mississippi levee below New Orleans.
 The stage of the river here today was POS feet, rise of one tenth of a foot during the last 24 hours. Baton Rouge and points south reported slight increases while Natchez and points north of there showed 9station- ary or falling stages.

TRUSCON STEEL IS
 USED IN NEW BANK
Local Firm Furnished Steel For Construction Work
 in Building

Birmingham contractors and build CTS ar just now beginning to realize the value, both in dollars and cents and quality, of buying Made in Bir- mingham'' goods. Birmingham Is every day adding new manufacturers to the already long list.
 The Truscon Steel company of Bir mingham, whose plant is located at Avondale, but who maintain a local office in the heart of the city, are headliners in the manufacture of re- inforcing steel, forms and metal laths. They are just one of the many comparatively new companies who have located in this district and who can place their goods with Bir- mingham builders at price far be- low any foreign competitor. Freight charges, the haul from the manufac- turing plant to the cars and from the cars to the job are three charges saved when the articles are bought locally.
 The Truscon Steel company, who were the successful bidders, and fur nished all of the reinforcing steel, metal laths and forms used in the construction of the new Birmingham Trust and Savings bank, have cer- tainly done their share in the build ing of one of the city's greatest monuments, one that will remain when many of those now standing have been replaced by other struc- lures.

London May 7.- Professor Gilbert Murray, vice chairman of the Executive committee of the League of Nations says the necessity Uf an international language was forcibly borne upon him when attending the recent meetings of the League of Nations at Geneva.
 If you spoke in English" he said, 'it was translated into French; if in French 1t was translated into rns- fish, and if anybody knew neither English nor French that was his own. look out.
 On the whole, he thought the natural way out of the difficulty would be for the League to recog- nize one of the two artificial interna- tional languages. either Esperanto or Ido.
 The latter for most Europeans was easier. To non Europeans there were certain advantages in Esper- anto. which had smaller number of roots.

 Marine Act

Washington May 7.-The shipping > board today served notice "upon those affiliated with foreign shipping interests that any opposition from such sources with respect to the ap- plication of Section 2s of the mer- chant marine act of 1920 would be disregarded." by the board.
 A committee composed of Commits sioners Thompson Chamberlain and Benson seconded hearings to deter mine whether Section 2S, which pro hibits granting preferential rates to foreign shipping, should be put into effect. American ships, if furnishing adequate tonnage, would be given the preferential rates under the act.
 In connection with the boards warning, members of the board have made no secret that they believe they have encountered organized opposi- ton to the enforcement of Section 2S from British interests and their American agents, and have declared the same opposition to have been ap- parent against the proposed ship sub- sidy.

 The committee, Chairman Thomp- son said today. twill insist upon knowing the identity, if any, protes- tants may have with foreign shipping interests. The voice that is sought is the voice of the American shipper and ship operator and not any voice that may reflect the view of those whose private interests are best served by restriction from operation of preferential feature of our ma rine law. No weight will be given by the committee to views that origi- nate from sources known to be hos tile. openly or covertly, to the mer- chant marine expasion of the United States"

BULGARIA TOTTERS UNDER BURDEN 0F
 WAR PREPARATIONS
Indemnity Is Staggering Sum for Smallest of the Bel- ligerent Nations-Ex-
 ports Increase
By Associated Press

SO1la, May i.-BulRarla IS tottering under burden of debt and
 indemnities which its financiers say
 will take several generations to
 liquidate. Under the peace treaty
 the smallest of the belligerent na- tions is required to pay the allies
 2.225. 000.000 francs gold ($450. .000,
 000).
 Converted into Bulgarian francs Oevas) at the current rate of ex- change, this amounts to the stagger- ing total of 67,000, ,000,000 levas. If to this sum is added the country's ex- ternal and internal debt of 40.000,- 000, 900 levas, total of 107, ,000, 900. 900 levas is reached. (Nominally a Bull garian leva would be worth about 19 cents).
 themselves, how this colossal sum can be paid without wrecking the
 country and exhausting it's resources. Under the Neuilly agreement the Bulgarians were to pay their first of the s450,00o.0oO fndem- nifty in 1919, but up to the present
 they have lapsed in three install- ments.
 Ask Time Bulgarian government officials say they can make the state solvent and pay all it's obligations if the powers will waive the indemnity payments for a reasonable period of time. They insist they can, make little progress so long as the reparations commis- sion holds the indemnity demand over their heads like Damocles' sword.
 | The country's total outstanding paper money amounts to 3.250.000,0 00O levas. only one-third of which is covered by gold reserve. An encouraging feature in Bull garia's otherwise apparently hope less financial and economic situa- ton is the steady increase in her ex- ports, which for 1921 were in the proportion of to 2la to her inn ports.
 With the object of stimulating ex-
 ports and imports the government IS
 planning the establishment of an in-
 ternational bank. composed in part
 of foreign capital, with branches or
 representatives throughout the world.
 An effort will be made to interest
 American bankers in the institution.
