CARRIER PIGEONS USED
 TO GARRY NEWS STORIES
Japanese Are Finding That Birds Are of Genuine
 Service

Tokyo, Aug. 1 LPl--While there are 19 daily newspapers in Tokyo, and hundreds of others throughout the empire. the gathering of news in Japan is somewhat more difficult than 1t is in America and other countries, The reason is that the telephone and telegraph services are exceedingly primitive and almost worthless for the rapid transmission of news.
 The tardy wire service, however, is overcome to some extent by the use of carrier pigeons. Every news agency and large newspaper has its own specially trained birds which daily are sent by train to the vari- ous correspondents. The pigeons when released with the thinnest of copy" sheets attached to them, make rapid time back to the edi- torial rooms.

TRADE OUTLOOK
 REGARDED GOOD
Recent Developments Favorable
 7 to New England

Boston, Aug, PEThe net total of recent developments In the busi- ness situation has been favorable to . large volume Of production and trade in New England, according to the monthly review of industrial and financial conditions in the New Eng land district made public today by the Federal Reserve Bank of Bos- ton.
 Orders taken by manufacturers have, in the main, increased during recent weeks, and shipments have been larger than was anticipated" the review said. Many manufactur- CTS, recognizing the necessity of car rying larger stocks of goods during this era of hand to mouth buying, have been working toward a well proportioned inventory at the be- ginning of the fall buying season, but some have reported that current shipments are so far in excess of anticipated shipments that the de- sired inventory will not be reached.
 Credit conditions, activity in the building industry. the trend of com- modity prices and recent improve ment in wholesale sales are addi- fional factors pointing to a large volume of trade.
 Production, transportation and trade reports for June show that the rate of business activity in New England was practically the same as in May. This stabilization follows @ period of declining activity which began late in January, closely cor responding to similar decline which took place in most Of the in dustrial sections of the country. The woolen textile industry has been one Of the most seriously affected in New England, but recent reports in- dicate an improvement comparable to that reported by the cotton tex the industry While shoe factories are seasonally quiet. New England production in June was slightly larger than in the corresponding month a year ago.
 'Distribution of merchandise by New England railroads throughout June and July averaged consider ably higher than q year ago, al- though there has not hccn as much of an increase in carloading since mid-winter as Is usually the case.
 Department stores sales during June were in large volume, being in excess of those on May, and some S.6 per cent larger than in June a year ago. There was one more selling day in June this year than in 1924, which accounts for some of the in- crease. In view of the trend toward different situation which exists in the department store trade between cash sales and charge sales. Charge sales include intalment purchases. Each month of this year charge busi ness has been relatively better than cash business reflecting tho increas- ing tendency to purchase on install ments and to invite people to open charge accounts. During a period of receding business there would nat urally be more incentive to use charge account than to pay cash,
