WALL STREET BRIEFS.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, June s-Sales of cars
and trucks by the Ford Motor Com
pany in May are reported to have
totaled 209,601. the third consecutive
month in which the figures have ex
aged more than 500 daily, while sales
of Lincoln cars established a new
record of S6S, an increase of 106 over
April.
Fisher Body Corporation in the
year ended April 80 reports net profit
of S22, ,102, ,00S, equivalent after pre-
ferred dividends to $35.73 share on
sI7,172,176, or 1924 share in the
preceding year. Net earnings after
expenses and depreciation amounted
to $26.6O7, ,163, an increase of more
than s6.OO0,0o0. Surplus totaled s15,-
393,S11. against s11,223.65s in the
previous corresponding period.
Eighty per cent of the worlds
finished silk products is being made
in the United States, according to
Hiram r. Mallinson, president of the
III. X. Mallinson & Co, who stated
that buyers from all sections of the
country report May sales ahead of
last year. The hand-to-mouth buy
ing, of which so much is heard today,
would be regulated in the near flu
ture, he said. by the law of supply
and demand.
With rediscounts in the New York
federal reserve district falling off
despite the reduction in the bank
rate from Az to 4 per cent Oh May
and open market rates for money
working to lower levels, reports of
another prospective cut in the rate
already are gaining currency. There
has been no indications from official
sources, however, of a contemplated
change.
The recent outburst of interest in
public utility securities which have
scored brisk advances in both stock
exchanges and outside trading has
been ascribed partly to their growth
in favor by financial institutions.
Many banks which several years ago
hesitated to add them to their hold
ings are now buying them in large
quantity.

BUSINESS PICKING UP.
Baltimore Cotton Merchants See
Turn for Better.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. June 9.-Alth ough
wholesalers in cotton and textiles re-
port that business is still quiet, a
slight Improvement has been noticed
by a number of Baltimore firms. The
increase has not been of sufficient
size to be of greatSaid to profits, but
is significant, inasmuch as it is be-
iieved by a number to mark the up
turn in this business. 1t should be
remembered, also, that this is the
dull season in this line.
April business was better than
March and showed an improvement
over April, 1928. according to state
ments of the head of one of the
largest houses in Baltimore. In view
OF the fact that buying is still of a
hand -to-mouth" character, it is pre-
dicted that If any sizable demand
develops a notable stifrening of prices
will follow.

MILLIONS Of ACRES
MAY Be REF0RESTED
Government Is Urged to Plant
Timber Trees On Idle Lands
Estimated 81 100000 Acres

ATLANTA, April %. IF trees
grew from the seed to their full
height in a year or so, like wheat or
corn, Georgia and other southern
states would not be troubled with a
threatened shortage in the lumber
crop, it was stated by forest cor
seryatiol lists here today.
The fact is, as pointed out here,
is takes trees many years to mature
Sometimes a generation that
plants them can hardly secure the
benefits Of trees as lumber, is pro-
badly the only real reason, it il
claimed, that America today has not
a definite reforestation policy that
would assure a continuous supply Of
lumber If porpetuity
The statement was made Lere To-
day, on figures now being studied,
that there are 81, 100000 acres of
land in the United State that arc
idle and unfit for anything except
growing trees. These 81,000,0O0
idle acres, Georgia forest cohse1a-
tion.sts claim, have a direct effe..
npor the purses of all citizens.
AS is shown, as lumber becomes
scarcer, houses cost more, rents are
higher, furniture is more expensive.
and an additional toll is taken al
every point where the human race
makes use of wood.
Had these 81 100000 idle acres
been planted in timber trees during
the last generation, we would prob,
ably today be paying less for our
houses and for the various articles
IN which wood is used,' said an At
lanta statistician. But The last ger.
Grafton gave little thought to us in
tins regard, and We are, so far. pur
suing the same course Of indiffe-
renee to the next generation"
From an individual standpoint. it
is claimed here, this is perhaps natu-
raj, but from national standpoint.
1t was asserted, it is inexcusably
shortsighted, The opinion is en-
pressed here that defi1fte refores-
tatlon policy should be adopted and
put into operation by the govern
ment without delay.

LATIN-ANERICA GETS
MUCH AMERICAN COIN
Four Billion Dollars Already In
vested There BY United
States Investors

ATLANTA, April 23.-That Cen
trail a,I1 South America is now at
tracing American money was point
ed out here today by Atlanta bust
ness men, many Of whom are max
ing arrangements to do business
with the Latin-American cour tries.
Latin-America is the logical mar
ket for American business as well
as a rich field for investment, it
was stated here. 1t is field that
was neglected by business men and
financiers for many years, it is
claimed, due chiefly to the always
unsettled conditions prevailing in
many Central and South American
republics.
Despite revolution and frequent
overthrow Of existing governments,
it is asserted here European bust
ness found Central ard South Amer
lea Tine fields for business and TN
til the World War put an end 20
European trading and financial If,
yestments by Europeans were much
heavier than those of Americans.
Conditions are much more set
tied now in most Of the Central a,d
South American countries than rol
many years, Atlanta business men
say. With but few exceptions, il
is claimed Latin-American countries
row are free of revolutionary act.-
vities and business is proceeding in
many of them without interruption.
The people of the United States,
with four billions of dollars already
invested in Latin-American coun-
tries, it is stated, have a vital H.
terest in the progress of those coun-
tries. The Southern states through
the Southeastern ports, are now ex-
pected to share largely in Central
American business.

HOW IS YOUR
COLON TODAY

Tell me how your colon is func-
tioning and l will tell you how you
feel, sleep and eat. If your colon
es emptying itself freely, regularly
and completely every day, you feel
young, energetic and vigorous;
sleep soundly and awake refresh
ed; eat with relish, enjoy your
meals and digest thoroughly. If
your colon is lazy, and lacking in
tone, so that the poisonous mat
ter5 are being retained and re-ab-
sorbed into your system, you feel
nervous, irritable, weak, dyspeptic
and prematurely old.
Colon poisoning (autointoxica,
tion) is the most common cause
Of chronic diseases and premature
degeneration of the vital organs.
Millions suffer without realizing
how easily the cause can be remov-
ed. Tell your druggist to send
you a bottle of CoIotone-the
colon tonic. 1t will quickly restore
tone to the muscular walls of
your colon. Your toxic condition
will disappear and you will feel
young, energetic and vigorous. Colo
tone removes the cause Of consti-
patton. Your druggist is instruct
ed to refund the price, me dollar,
if you are not thoroughly delighted
with CoIotone.-ladv.l

HUNTySA
WASHINGTON fg iIiiiil3
LETT En-
BY HARRY B. HUNT
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Cal-
Coolidge is no fan. The great
national games" of baseball leaves
him cold"
That was evident to all present Oil
the occasion Of the opening Of tlc
American League season at the
Washington ball park.
Coolidge complied with The trad
ton that the first ball of the first
game in Washington must be tossed
out by the president. But he did it
with an expression and a gesture
that indicated the job was the most
distasteful he had yet been called
upon to perform as chief executive.
Ii hurting horsehide sphere out
into a ball park, while a crazy mot
of screening lunatics look on, was
a daily part of the presidential rou-
tine-we'n bet Calvin Coolidge
wouldn't run for reelection.
Coolidge's discontinue as he
stood up to throw the ball was plain.
He didr't even smile.
He went at it as an unpleasant,
rather undignified proceeding thai
had to be gone through with, bus
which he didn't enjoy or even ap-
prove.
Instead of tossing the ball ont
Isnappily, he sort Of pushed it away
from him with an overland gesture.
And then, with the home team
winning, Cal up and left in the third
inning!
Though Coolidge may not warm
to baseball, he does seem to be on
to the curves Of that ether great
national pastime, politics Al
READY his campaign managers claim
to have about 500 Of the necessary
$50 delegates to the Republican con
vention roped and tied.
So cocksure are his boosters of a
walkaway TO him at Cleveland that
they are suggesting having the pres
dent drop in on the convention iii
person, receive direct notification Of
his nominatio nand delier his speech
of acceptance and campaign key
note on the spot.
Such procedure, however,
doesn't seem quite to fit in with the
Coolidge character. 1t would be
rather too spectacular, 100 great a
departure from custom and prece-
dent. Doubtless it might be good
strategy, it might disclose him as
less Cautious" and careful" than
he has often been pictured, might
humanize him and help start tie
battle with a bag, but our guess is,
| Coolidge will receive the news" Of
his nomination through press re-
ports relayed to the executive Of

FEED THE WEEV|L
POISON IS NEW CRY
Search For Weevils Should Be-
gin AS Soon As Plants Make
Their Appearance

NEW ORLEANS, La, April &c,
Various appeals to feed the
starving people of European coun-
tries" have been made in the United
States and according to reports the
appeals have met with generous re-
sponse Another appeal is being
made to feed the surviving mem
bers of the boil weevil tribe" and
it is also exected that this appeal
will be met with generous response.
The appeals differ, however, in
that the former for the purpose of
saving life while the latter is for the
purpose Of taking life and at the
same time offering profitable pro
duction of the main money crop Of
the Southern farmers.
A farmer may either fail to use
weevil control methods and let the
weevil feed on the plants or he may
apply control methods ard let the
weevil and every time one wed-
il dies it means the prevention Of
thousands f other generations
coming into tn world to rage his
crop.
Farmers should examine their
fields for boil weevils daily as soon
as the plants make their appearance.
When as many as twenty boil wee
wills are found on an acre poisoning
should begin. Calcium arsenate in
dust form or in a home mixed cal
cium-arsenate-molasses mixture is
recommended by state and govern
ment experts at this stage.
When the dust is used it may be
applied either by cotton busting ma
chinery or shaken from bag on
the tips of the plants and from five
to seven pounds of calcium ARISEN.

The molasses mixture is usually
applied with a made NOR

drops into the tips of the plants. This

WELLESLEY GIRLS
NOT KEEN TO MARRY

WELLESLEY, April 23.-The
good, old-fashioned institution of
marriage is being relegated to the
limbo Of the Victoria era by the
modern college girl if one can ac-
cept the evidence of a Wellesley
College QUESTIONABLE without reser-
walton and bear in mind that the
first prerogative of the female of

mind.
Only seventy-nine out of some
nine hundred of Americas fairest
daughters now absorbing higher
learning in the Wellesley institu-
ton, would admit that they pro-
posed to step out to the wedding
march shortly after being grad
uated in June next.
And only about two of that numbe
would even admit that they might
consider marriage, providing they
were asked TO by az eligible man.
This and more of equal interest
was revealed by the QUESTIONABLE
which propounded the eternal
question after college, what " Spe
officially, the girls were asked 20
tell the occupation or profession of
their dads and what they expected
their own careers would be- Only
handful, however, had any idea of
following in the footsteps of their
