PRESS-CONTROL LAW
IS PASSED IN BRAZIL
Newspapers May Not Publish
Articles Rejecting on
Public Officials.

BY the Associated Press.
RIO JANEIRO, October Slater
one of the most protracted and spec
tacular parliamentary battles in the
history of the Brazilian republic, the
senate passed and sent to the president
for his signature a law regulating the
press.
The new law would prohibit the
publication of statements judged to
be injurious against the president of
the republic, the cabinet ministers
and other federal. state and munich
pal officials or against the heads of
foreign governments or diplomatic
representatives.
The publication of state secrets or
articles which might tend to promote
misunderstandings between Brazil and
other nations is made illegal. Anony-
nous publications of all kinds are
prohibited, as likewise are advertise
ments of drugs, medicines and al
legged cures" unless they are ap-
proved by the health department or
attested by competent physicians.
Provision is made that newspapers
which publish statement concerning
any person which is considered in
furious to that person must print
gratuitously the persons reply, CIV
heterogeneous of the law would be
punished by sentences of imprison-
ment or fines. The measure has been
bitterly opposed by political parties
opposed to the government as we'll as
majority of the newspapers, in
cluding some of which generally are
favorable to the government. 1t is
expected that the constitutionality of
the law will be tested in the supreme
court.

Birds and the Crops.

Upon good crops hinges the ma
tion's financial and economic pros
perity. Farmers need birds, since the
success of their crops depends upon
them, says Nature Magazine. They
may increase bird life on their farms
by establishing bird refugees. Expe-
rience has shown that they can best
do this by cooperating with a state
game commission, an Audubon socie-
ty, bird club or a school. The farm
er donates his land and acts as war
den while the other party furnishes
the bird houses and feeding stations.
When birds frequent the roadsides
they destroy insects on adjacent farm
acres. 1t is a mistake to cut away
all vegetation from country road
sides. Birds love to nest in wayside
hedges.
