NEW YORK, Jun S.-Having given

the new German Preparations note in
the previous session, stocks on the
exchange today were equally noncom-

the Likelihood that France would re-

the meantime the domestic business
situation was favorable enough to re-
heve any apprehension regarding the

Violent Debates in
JugOSlavian House

belgrade, Oct. IA ca. p. by Mail)
Summoned recently to consider
minor taxation problems, the Jugo-
slaylan Skupshtina, or parliament.
developed a stormy session far be-
yond the estimated period of only a
few uneventful days.
The Skupshtina, with its represen-
tation of all classes in the state. fur
nishes a good picture of the popula-
ton of Jugoslavia. Among the most
outSpOken members are peasants in
native costume who take a promi-
nent part in the stormy discussions.
Inc Slovakian group had a lively
passage at arms with the true. or
"pravp' Serbiark, the other day,
when the Slovenian deputy Vretchko,
complaining of the measures of re-
preston adopted by the radical gov
eminent, got up and announced that
HE under Austria was much more
hvable than it is under Serbia.
1ankovitch, the minister of COM
nlunications, thereupon stirred up a
storm by inviting Vretchko and his
fellow Slovenians to emigrate to
Austria If they did not like living in
Serbia
The opposition greeted the govern
ments invitation with cat-calls and
thS siamming of desk-covers, while
the Serbian radicals cheered loudly.
The scene reminded one observer of
the old days in the Austrian legis-
lature. when the same radical battles
were fought.

Suggestions for
Inspecting Quality
Dairy Milk Supply

State Dairy Inpector Forrest A.
Barbour issued the following state
ment Wednesday, giving suggestions
by which people can check up on the
quality of the milk they are receiv-
ing from the Dealers:
"Is your milk clean" You cannot
follow the travels of a quart of milk
from the time it leaves the cow till
it reaches your doorstep; but you can
try this: Allow bottle of milk, the
bottom of which is free from any
dirt particles. to stand for zone half
hour. Pick it up by the neck keep
ing it perpendicular. Do not disturb
the contents.
Look for sediment in the bottom
of the milk. Sediment in the milk
will disappear upon shaking. If you
are buying milk from a can, which
is not a good way to buy, pour it in
to a bottle and try the experiment
just the same.
Much milk is free from sediment;
some contains considerable. Exam
inc yours in this way. The quickest
means of obtaining a clean, fresh,
wholesome milk supply ia for the
people to be their own milk inspect
ors and demand the best"

English Dry
Fight Soon
To Be Started

London, oct. IS GA. l.. by MaiD-
Almost everyone in England feels
that some day in the future this
country will be the scene of a big
fight over the prohibition question.
Both sides are already busy below
ing from soap boxes and lecture
platforms, and spreading printed
propaganda here and there.
To the side of the vets has Just
come Professor Ernest H. Startling,
University College, London, with
book on The Action of Alcohol on
Man"
The work of the community" he
contends, lis carried out almost en-
tirely ny men with whom the
moderate use of alcohol is habitual.
I'VE have only to look at the lead
ers in every walk of life. In each
group we find a small handful who
are total abstainers, but a census
would probably give over 80 percent
who habitually partake Of small
doses of alcohol. Health is in most
people a necessary condition of sue
cess, and most of the members of
enumerated are distinguished not
only by their good general health,
but also by the fact that they live to
u ripe old age"
Dry dinners are an awful bore to
everyone. the Professor seems to
think, and the merriment is obvious
ly forced. But an ordinary feast at
which alcoholic drinks form a part is
ever distinguished by a natural
flow of spirits and good fellowship"
"A man may go to such a dinner
full of the cares and work of the day,
with little or no interest in those he
has to meet. whose occupation may
be very diverse from his own,
nervous of making any remarks to
his neighbors for fear of making
himself ridiculous or saying some
thing in which they are not inter-
ested. After the first glass of
champa gne we notice the conversa-
ton. instead of being spasmodic and
forced, becomes general ana tree; the
self consciousness and preoccupation
of each man with his own affairs
becomes lessencd"

"From the figures it will be seen
that most of the departments and in
situations have lived within their
appropriations, and that the State
Contingent Fund money has not been
Improperly used" said Governor
Baxter Wednesday in summarizing a
statement regarding this fund.
THE State Contingent Fund is not
understood by citizens in general as
it should he, and some are led to be-

declared the Governor. whenever
there is n mystery, | want to clear

my statements in regard to this fund.
In February, 1923 [ delivered a
special message to the Legislature
and showed just how the Contingent
Fund stood. | gave in detail every
dollar that had gone into the fund
since ] entered office and how every
credit had been expended thercfrom
On January LIST, 1928. the State
Contingent Fund amounted to SOL

November 1st S396,13S9S has lapsed
to it. $3.50, 1888 has been spent
therefrom, leaving a balance on
November LIST of $75S,339.S6.
THE State Contingent Fund is a
bookkeeping account and represents
both cash and book accounts. When
an appropriation is made for an in
stitution and it is not all expended,
the balance "lapses" to the fund, but
this balance is not necessarily CASH
For example. if a State Hospital has
an appropriation of 100000 and
spends only $4,000 of it, there is a
lapse OF $4,000. This $4,000 often
is not cash for if the estimated in

to expectations, a shortage of funds
occurs and in such an event there
