REINDEER LIKE TOBACCO CHEWING This Type Bids Fair to Surpass
 the HuSkieS

Anchorage, Alaska, Dec. IT P>- Tobacco chewing reindeer, possess ing the stubborness of a mule and the fighting qualities of Gene Tunney bid fair to challenge the supremacy of the malamutes in the field of Alaskan transportation.
 This is the belief of ". G. Culver, formerly of the United States bureau of education, who says Eskimo herd CTS of Broad Pass are finding ready sale to prospectors of sled-broke reindeer for draught purposes.
 Save On Animal Feed
 The use of dogs entails hauling dog feed to a base of operation and feeding the animals during the sum- mer months when they have no work to perform. It has been found more economical to utilize a pair of reindeer for hauling supplies over the spring snow crust and then end of the journey.
 Where it once required 50 pounds of tallow, 100 pounds of corn meal and 100 pounds of rice with addition of dried salmon to feed dog dur ing the summer, 100 pounds of corn meal and small quantity of rein deer moss suffices to- cover jour ney of a hundred miles with a rein deer team, and the prospector's grub bill is reduced to the extent of about 16o pounds of reindeer meat.
 Reindeer Temperament
 Reindeer are extremely tempera- mental and must be handled with diplomacy and discretion, says Gull yer.
 Better call a truce when 'Reiny' becomes temperamental,' he advises. "Offer him chew of the various brands of strong plug tobacco, then sit down and wait until the steed's mental process digests his single idea that of adamant stubborness-and supplants it with something be- speaking a desire to travel"

GERMANEXPORTSIN'
 HARDWARE DECLINE
Post-War Activity in Industry
 Shows Falling Off
BY GEORGE B. MANNING

D NEOTSd6 D. MANNlNp
 Washington Bureau of the N. B. HeralO
 Washington, D. C., Dec. 17-So many firms attempted to take part in Germany's postwar revival of it's foreign trade in cutlery and hardware that the market was swamped, a number of plants had to close or go on a part-time sched- ule, and exports have slumped aft CT a phenomenal rise.
 Reports made by American trade commissioners in Germany show that that country is exporting about 15 per cent more hardware than before the war. but that the total exports for 1928 are expected to be considerably less than the 2S4,000 metric tons exported In 1925. In comparison, the 1913 ex- ports were 19S,65o metric tons of hardware.
 The German hardware industry was affected by all the economic conditions which influenced the operation of all German industry after the war. One of the out standing conditions at the present time. however, is said to be the excessively large number of firms in the hardware trade. Attempts at fusion between allied manufactur- CTS have been made at numerous times to prove this condition, but in most cases they have been un- successful.
 Cutlery Is still the largest item of the German export trade in hardware by value. as It was in pre-war years. British India takes the largest share of cutlery exports with the Dutch East Indies second and the United States third, while Great Britain, Brazil and Argen- tina are other large buyers of Made-in-Germany edged instru- ments.
 Latest reports from Solingen, an important center of cutlery trade in Germany, indicate that the vol ume of orders is increasing and the unemployment and part time work is improving steadily
 German producers of enamel ware claim that export prices are low and a number of them are at- tempting to form syndicate to support the export price. The ab- sence of standardization and sim- plifcation are said to be felt con- siderably in the German domestic trade.
