BUSINESS SOUND,
LAMONT DECLARES
Secretary Cites Statistics of
Department to Bear
Out Belief.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Lamont reiterated today
that business conditions are fundament-
ally sound and cited Commerce De-
partment figures showing absolutely"
no increase in inventories; that forward
orders and greater, and there had been
no rise in commodity prices.
He Endorsed statements of President
Hoover and Assistant Secretary Klein,
both of whom have emphasized their be-
lief in the stability of business. MI
Lamont asserted the business curve owe:
a long period was exactly the reverse
of that which had preceded past bust
ness depressions.
The Secretary said that the stock
market reactions would be largely pSy-
Geological, with purchasers in the luxury
class feeling the falling of mostly.
Many who still hold their stocks will
feel themselves poorer because of the
loss in stock market quotations, and this
feeling might curb buying somewhat, he
said
DIR. Klein Speaks.
For the second time since the I'M
precedented slump in the stock market,
DR.. Julius Klein, Assistant Secretary OF
work of Columbia Broadcasting System
stations, assured the Nation last night
that commercially and financially the
United States is sound" The talk was
broadcast locally by WMAL.
DR.. Klein gave his first talk on the
financial and commercial condition of
the country Tuesday night over q Co
lumbia network. Since then, he said
last night, additional reinsurance had
come that shows more clearly that
the stock market Is not the principal
barometer Of business and that our
American prosperity Is deeply and
firmly rooted"
He pointed to weekly statistics re-
leased by the department showing that
stocks of manufactured goods are at
the same levels as last year as giving
'unmistakable proof of the stability Of
business and added that mo indica-
ton whatever of any undue accumula-
ton" was seen.
And our economist friends tell us
that congested inventories are the surest
sign of trouble" he continued. There s
nothing of that sort in sight at all.
Since production is running 10 per cent
ahead of last year. this certainly seems
to indicate steadily increasing outlets
for conSumption-surely an encourag-
ing sign"
DR.. Klein was making his weekly
radio address on business. He described
"a healthy. progressive retail trade"
as one of the bulwarks of prosperity
and urged the compilation of and more
dependence upon facts.
I'VE are utterly convinced" he said,
''of the sovereign efficacy of facts as a
remedy for business ills. Business men
have got to know what is actually hap
pening. They must have precise knowl-
edge as to operations, trends, costs,
methods and everything else. Guess
work is gambling-and we have seen
recently the overwhelming disaster that
can descend upon the gambler-specula-
tor in business. The 'hunch' is a
delusion. Faith in mere native Shrewd-
ness often leads swiftly to befuddled
fumbling."

HIGHWAY PATROL
GET BANK ROBBERS
Not Part of Their Regular Dut-
les But They We're Ready for
the Job

Minnesota's new state highway pa
troll demonstrated it's usefulness last
Friday when Earle Brown, chief of
the motor patrol, and Patrolman e.
A. Auspos captured three bandits
who had robbed the First National
bank of Elk River. Brown was trav-
cling on T. H. No. and had stopped
to- talk to Auspos, who lives at Elk
River, when they received the report
of the robbery. They started in pur-
suit of the bandits Immediately. The
pursuit ended in the capture of the
= bandits near Zimmerman, less than
two hours after the robbery.
Capturing bank robbers, however,
will not be a regular duty of the
highway patrolmen, according to c.
NJ. Babcock, head of the state High
way department. The law creating
the highway patrol limits their pow
ers as peace officers to the enforce
ment of the laws relating to the use
and operation of motor and other
. vehicles on the trunk highways. In
pursuing bank robbers, Mr.. Brown
and Mr.. Auspos were acting in the
capacity of private citizens. Under
the general law any private citizen
not only has the power but it is his
duty to aid in the apprehension of
persons known to be guilty of fell
ony.
''The main purpose of the highway
patrol is to keep traffic moving safe
ly on the highways" says Mr.. Bah
cock. SIN this case they simply hap
pened to be there at the right time
and performed an incidental duty in
an efficient manner"

DINNER
GROWING IN FAVOR

With progress in the art of xeget-

of the food values of vegetables for
the building of health, the vegetable
dinner is growing in favor, accord
ing to Miss Inez Hobart, one of the
specialists of the home demonstra-
ton section of the of extension serv-
ice of the Department of Agriculture,
University of Minnesota.
One of the importantthings about
the preparation of vegetable dim
ner, says Miss Hobat, is the proper
combination of vegetables to provide
a balanced meal! 1t will not do just
to cook a lot of different vegetables,
serve portion of each, and call it a
vegetable dinner. One of the veget-
ables should be cooked to include
milk, cheese or eggs. This will pro-
vide some of the combinations re-
commended by Miss Hobart:
Buttered spinach, stuffed on
ions, potato puff, and broiled to-
matoes.
Green corn, sliced tomatoes on :
lettuce, and creamed potatoes.
Green peas, buttered carrots,
baked potatoes, spinach.
Shelled beans, cabbage, stewed
tomatoes, stuffed baked potato
es.

LATEST IN SILOS
is CORN-CRIB TYPE

Because there is promise of big
corn crop this fall and there will be
need of conserving forage for win
ter feeding, word is going out from
the extension service of the Mime
sofa College of Agriculture, to the
effect that a corn-crib silo makes a
good substitute for the permanent
type, or as a supplement for the per-
manent type on farms which need
more storage.
E. A. Hanson, one of the dairy
specialists of the extension service,
says that farmers who have used the
corn-crib silos are agreed that they
are a good thing, the advantages out
weighing the disadvantages. The
cost is low; the material used lasts
for many seasons; may be stored
away easily when not in use; the cap
acity may be adjusted to actual
needs; they are desirable for renters;
there is no freezing to speak of, and
cattle feeders can set them up in
feed lots for convenience in feeding.
A corn-crib silo is constructed of
snow fence or corn-crib slat material
The ground should be level to pre-
vent sagging. The diameter should
be from Is to % feet and the height
from 20 to 80 feet. Crib material in
rolls so, Sc, and So feet long will
give silos 16, 171s and 20 feet in
diameter Snow-fence material COM
es in rolls so and 100 feet to the roll.
The height of the material is feet
The silo is built by sections, each
four feet high. The first section is
set up and filled. Then the second
section is placed on top of the first,
with the slat material from four to
six inches inside of that of the first
section, so thet as the silage settles
the upper sectio will telescope into
the first. In view of this the top Sec
ton should not be wired to the first
The ends of each section should be
wired together and should open to-
ward the barn or feeding chute. The
silo is thus built section by section
as the sections are filled.
Users of this type of silo recon-
mend the use of corn somewhat
greener than that which goes into
the permanent silo-with the corn in
the hard-dough stage. Dry or frozen
corn should never be put into this
type of silo, as it will not keep.

A common mistake in the manage
ment of sweet clover is to pasture a
first-year stand too heavily. New
seedlings should seldom carry more
than one mature animal to two acres.
The rate of grazing may be heavier
than this in August, but by Septem-
Der Is the rate should be decreased,
to allow the plants to store food in
the root. Each plant should go into
the winter with at least 6 inches of
top growth. Sweet clover pastured
too heavily the first year will start
slowly and grow unevenl- the second
year, and will yield considerably less
forage than if pastured lightly the
first year.
