production successfully through re-
markable cooperation during the time
when copper prices were low. This has
stimulated ore output following the
high-cost producers.
Stocks are nearly so per cent lower

ton is decidedly higher and promises
to continue at a rate which will sus-

South American producers, however, are
likely to reach $3.50, 100000 pounds this

NEW YORK, october 3.-While Wall
Street processes to see no danger In the
steady increase in brokers loans, it Is
significant that in the present confused
state of the market, figures showing
such q large expansion as took place
in September have pronounced effect
on speculative sentiment.
Closely analysed today. the compila-
ton of the New York Stock Exchange
of loans on collateral security last
month indicates a startling trend since
last May, when they reached the previous
high record figure of S5,274, 600. 600
Since then time loans have decreased
nearly $3.50 100000. or over 80 per cent
while demand loans have increased
$6l1 100000 or more than Is per cent
The present total is $239, 900, 900 greater
than it was when the Spring rise in
stocks eliminated.
This is in line with the expansion
that has occurred meanwhile In the

corporations in this country and by
foreign lenders, which now for the first
time exceed $2,000000, 900.

Fixed Speed Signs
Barred on Highways
Healthy Birds Only

N. J. Holmberg, dairy and food
commissioner says, 'The sale of dis
eased poultry, whether dressed or I'M
dressed, is a gross violation of the
law. Much poultry, diseased and
emaciated, annually reaches the
channels of trade. The health author
tiles in some of the eastern cities
have taken steps to check this illegal
practice by requiring that all poultry
killed for consumption must be in
spected before being killed. A large
percent of the Minnesota poultry
marketed goes east dressed and ready
for retail sale.
eff we are to take steps to prevent
the grave possibility of an embargo
on poultry shipped from this state,
great care should be exercised both
at the farm and by the purchaser OF
farm produce to eliminate all dressed
or emaciated birds. The farmers
and produce dealers should closely
cooperate in seeing to it that no dis
eased birds be offered for sale,
whether alive or dressed. We hope to
forestall the possibility of an embar-
go, which if once fixed, would be
nothing short of calamity to the
poultry industry of the state"

Prior to its recovery the mother per-
formed sacred ceremony, hoping to
discover the body in that manner. A
candle was placed in hot melted wax
on the end of board, and the board
allowed to float. The spot in the riv-
er where the candle went out, was
thought to be the place where the
body would be located. After the re-
covery of the body, interment was
made at Calvary cemetery. The young
man, only nineteen years of age, was
drowned last week, when he entered

Fifteen Mile Limit" Warnings
Held Misleading-Cause
Congestion

Signs directing drivers not to drive
more than fifteen miles an hour, or
fixing any other arbitrary speed, are
frowned on by the Minnesota High
way department. Where such signs
have been erected on the state high
way right of way, they will be taken
down by the maintenance men, Com
missioner C. M. Babcock announces.
This department desires to coop
crate in every possible way to pro-
mote safety and prevent accidents, y
Mr.. Babcock says. 'But we are
convinced that signs of the Speed
Limit Is Miles type tend to increase
rather than decrease accidents. They
do not give correct statement OF
the law relative to speed"
The law provides that no one shall
drive at a greater speed than that is
reasonable and proper, having due re-
gard to the traffic, the width of the
highway and other existing condl-
tons. 1t names certain speeds,
varying from fifteen to thirty-five
miles, under various conditions, but
instead of making these absolute lim-
its it simply says that driving at a
greater speed shall be "prima facie
evidence" that the speed is unreason-
able. Municipalities are prohibited
from fixing speeds lower than those
named in the state law.
Mr.. Babcock quotes reports of the
National Safety Council showing that
in towns the safest speed for traffic
to move is from twenty to twenty
five miles an hour. To attempt to
slow down traffic to fifteen miles an
hour does more harm than good. II
all drivers obeyed such a ruling, it
would cause serious congestion with
its attendant hazards. But still
worse situation arises from the fact
that some drivers obey the warning
literally and many others pay no at
tention to it and do not slow up at
all, and this mixture of slow and fast
creates hazard much more worse
than if all kept a uniform speed
around twenty-five miles.
The Highway department recon-
mends use of the diamond shaped
black and yellow signs with the words
caution drive slowly" These
call attention to the hazard and cause
nearly all drivers to be alert and slow
down. They do not cause the resent
ment on the part of drivers which Is
caused by "15 mile speed limit"
signs. The caution signs have prov
en- very effective where used.
eve have no sympathy with the
reckless driver and he should be dealt
with vigorously" says Mr.. Babcock.
''But to penalize careful drivers by
fixing very low and arbitrary limits
does not have any effect on the care
less and dangerous driver. Large
numbers of arrests and fines for
technical violations of the law are no
solution of the traffic problem"

doing so until next spring. A repre-
