AGRICULTURE IS
 BIG WEAK SPOT
Secretary Hoover Is Giving This
 His Attention

Paul Smiths, N. Y. Aug. l4- Agriculture and the textile industry
 particularly cotton, regarded by Sec retary of Commerce Hoover as weak spots in the generally excellent busi- ness situation, are receiving the close attention of the federal government, which is working to bring them up to the general economic level. 4
 As regards agriculture and its problem Of finance, it was said off cially yesterday at the executive of fees after Mir Hoover's conference with the president, that some work was being done toward drafting ten- tative plans for helping the farmer by endeavoring to coordinate the different agencies that extend credit to him, notably banks, mortgage concerns, and insurance companies.
 The cotton manufacturing busi- ness it was asserted, is now enjoy ing the benefits of readjustments which, Mir. Hoover has effected, and

ments have been working together on the plans for the proposed routes two of which have been ap- proved by President Coolidge. One of these will cross the country from New York to San Francisco and Los Angeles. The other to be known as the southwestern airway, will be laid out between Chicago and Dal- las and Fort Worth, Texas. Mir. Hoover believes they will be in use within six months.
 It was announced In Washington last night that arrangements have been worked out by the Mexican and United States postal authorities for utilization of the contract air mail service between Fort Worth, Texas, and Chicago, H., for the fast exchange of mail between the two countries. Air mail addressed to Mexico City upon reaching the border, would be handled by rail as special delivery matter upon which the Mexican post office would levy no additional | charge.

in the last month or six weeks quite a distinct improvement in this in dustry has been noted.
 Details of the administration ef- forts to assist agriculture and tex tiles were not disclosed.
 In addition to discussing with President Coolidge the important steps which the nation is about to take in establishing a chain of na- tional airways for commercial flying, Secretary Hoover also sketched the foreign trade situation for the chief executive. He reported that Ameri- can exports of manufactured goods were 12 per cent greater than last year, while on a basis of pre-war prices this country's total exports were 57 per cent more than the pre- war total. Imports, MT. Hoover in- formed the president, were 37 per cent in excess of shipments before ! the conflict.
 Mir. Coolidge and Secretary Hoo- yer, 1t was learned, did not discuss to any extent the possibilities of the development of commercial aviation. | They were rather concerned with the immediate problem before the department Of commerce of map ping out routes, licensing pilots, pro- vide landing fields, and encourage commercial flying.
 National Airways. In connection with the govern ment's plans for an extensive sys- tenn of national airways. which ul- | timately will cover the country, President Coolidge will appoint two advisory committees. One will assist in laying out the air routes, and will work with the assistant secretaries of commerce, war and, navy. The other committee will help the com merce department in drafting rules for aerial navigation; inspection of planes and licensing pilots of the national airways. The committee will be composed of representatives of commercial flying concerns and of the military and naval aviation services.
 Aside from providing an ultimate passenger. express and mail service, the proposed utilization of the na- tional air routes by privately owned planes will give the nation new and important line of defense in the opinion of Secretary Hoover. The commerce, war and navy depart

London. Sug. 14 GP>-"A sort-of political and administrative Pooh Bah," is an Eng fish newspapers characterization of the sec- retary of state for Scotland, Sir John Gil- mour. His duties of far more varied character than those of any other minister. He combines the functions of minister of education in regard to Scottish educational matters, minister of agriculture in connec- ton with Scottish farm affairs and minis ter of health far Scottish health mat ters are concerned
 All this is in addition to the various minutiae in other branches of Scottish administration to which he has to attend. Almost every day the House of Commons is sitting he is bom- barded with questions from inqusitive Scot tish members on such widely varied subjects as the reasons for the dismissal of an officer from the Argyllshire police force; how many men are employed in the Lochaber water- works construction; why the Carnwath parish council is refusing to extend relief to able bodied destitute persons and similarly highly important questions of state All told the secretary of state for Scotland has job on his hands that would seem to go far toward justifyng the paragrapher's appellative.

Wives of trade unionists should be invited to attend meetings of their husbands union whenever questions of policy to be dis cussed, in the opinion of the executive com nittee of the Liverpool Amalgamated Build ing Trades Union, which had adopted a rec ommendation to this effect
 Miss Florence Underwood, secretary of the Women's Freedom League, probably was not entirely serious however when she recently advanced the idea of going step further, suggesting that the wives attend as proxies for their husbands for she added:
 Husbands could then stop at home and mind the children while wives attended the meetings"

Berlin. Aug fl UD-Berlin's dog days find married couples indulging in new-fangled substitute for the crossword puzzle. This is probing into the mysteries of the figures SS52.
 Someone discovered that these figures in- variably come from adding the following: The year Of ones birth, ones age, the year of marriage, and the number of years married.
 The puzzle, which is bewilderng to most people, rests the obvious fact that 1852 equals twice 1926, and that the year of birth, plus present age always equals 1926. as does also the year of marriage plus the number of years of the duration of the marriage.

National Parks, Scenes of Historical Indian Fights and Relics of Pioneer Days There for Passing Tourists.

Denver, Aug. 14 R)-The Rocky Mountain region furnishes scenic wonders in great profusion. Approaching from the East the motorist crosses sandy wastes or great clay beds in the Dakotas and through the great plains of Kansas and Nebraska. The Bad Lands of North Dakota are great stretches of sand without vegetation while in the southern state the Bad Lands con- tinue in large fields of gumbo clay. The latter are unlike the prairies in that they do noh roll gracefully, but are fiat and cut here and there with jagged lines.
 Where History Repeats. The Black Hills of South Dakota were the setting for the adventures of many old time frontiersmen, in- cluding Wild Bill Hickok, sheriff of Deadwood and Deadwood Dick Here also is the Homestake gold mine at Lead, s. D., which was dis covered 50 years ago, and still yields ! pVIVOV'VVV o year
 Yellowstone Park is included within Wyoming and at this season attracts with all its gIories. Roads | for private cars traverse the park and special tours and other accom- modations make its wonders avail able to all.
 Roughing It In Xuxury. Wyoming also is noteworthy for it's cattle ranges and dude ranches" where tenderfeet are initiated into the great outdoors" and rough it in comparative luxury unknown to the older settlers of the country.
 Once in Colorado, there Is be- wildering choice of historic and scenic spots ranging from the Grand Canon to mountain ranges, but none of them under 3,350 feet above sea level.
 Denver itself is a city of contrasts. A morning game of tennis in balmy weather may be followed by a skiing party on glaciers above the city in afternoon.
 Pikes Peak, rising to 14,100 feet above sea level, commands the en- tire state, and served as a guide post in the gold rush Of '49 to California, and in '59 to Colorado.
 National Parks.
 Rocky Mountain National Park is entered through Estes Park, seven- ty-five miles north of Denver. Here Lord Dunraven, who recently died in England, entertained his British friends while the Utes and Araphoe Indians still disputer the invasion by white men.

TO MUZZLE BARKERS

A muzze is shortly to be applied to ex- ponents of peculiarly British form of indus try-the business of the oratorical tpster on the races These human loud speakers have been holding forth in numbers for some time on the outskirts of Londons popular open-air debating ground, Hyde Park, and their noisy and vouble career has finally been adjudged a nuisance
 The muzzng ordinance Is embodied in a government bill in Parliament which provides that any person delivering a speech or ad- dress imparting information concerning bet ting or racing ''or advertising that such in- formation can be obtained elsewhere, 'sshall be liable to a five pound fine.
 The Office of Works was rather apologetic in commenting on this measure-an abridge- ment of the traditional British liberty or speech. An official expressed dislike at "mak- ing rules that interfere with the liberty of the subject" but explained that in this case there had been an undoubted abuse of lib- erty, as the number of tipsters had in creased to constitute an annoyance to the public.

SPOKEN WORD IN POETRY

John Maseheld, poet and novelist, finds little encouragement these days for the spoken word in poetry. Addressing those who gathered for the yearly verse-speaking con- test at the Oxford Examination Schools he bemoaned the preference of the new genera tion to sit in a dark chamber watching fashy films rather than listening to poetry beauti- fully acclaimed.
 Poetry in this form was nearly done for he mourned, but it would persist to some de- gree despite everything.
 "So long as there remain two enthusiasts and plank there will be poetical stage" he declared.
