CAPITAL TRACTION
REVENUES SHRINK
Loss of $69,2O7 Revealed in
Report for First Ten
Months of 1929.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Total net income of the Capital Trac-
ton Co. in October and for the first 10
months of the present year shows a
falling off, according to the report filed
today with the Public Utilities Commits
sion
The loss in total net revenues for the
month was $17.l77.O1 and for the longer
period amounted to S69,207l5. The
chief reason for both declines was a
slump in revenue passenger traffic. due
largely to privately-owned automobiles
and bus competition.
During October there was decline IN
passenger traffic amounting to 1854
fares. while the decline for the 10
months totals 1.552.237. In october the
Capital Traction suffered loss of over
$1,000 in total operating revenues, but
this was largely offset by reduction in
operating costs of S6,563.
Comparisons between the earnings
and expenses in October, 1929, and the
corresponding month in 1928 are as
follows.

EXPORTS OF CHINA
RETURN TO NORMAL
More Than S14,O0O,000 in
Goods Sent to United States
in Single Month.

BY the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, China, September 27.-
China's trade with foreign countries is
rapidly returning to normal, according
to figures released recently by the va
rious consulates and trade commission
ers in Shanghai and the customs Off
Gals of all the treaty ports in the
country. That the United States is
increasing her business along with
Great Britain, France and Germany Is
attested to in export statistics compiled
by the American consulate at Shanghai
covering the entire country.
The declared exports from the whole
of China to the United States during
the month of June of the current year
amounted to more than $14 100000 gold,
bringing the total for tie fractional
year ending June 30, 1929, to the large
figure of S90.576, 500 This figure is ap-
proximately $10,000000 greater than it
was at the end of the first six months
OF 1928.
Exports Show IncrCase.
OF the various products exported to
the United States from China showing
substantial increases, rev silk takes
the lead. Chinese wood oil and dog
furs, although showing no increase,
rank second and third in importance.
It is generally expected throughout
China that with the development of
the wood oil industry in Florida, ex-
ports in this product will register sharp
declines during the next few years.
Chinese chemical and medicinal
preparations are in greater demand in
the United States than in former years.
Metallic products such as tungsten and
antimony ores belong to the increased
group of exports, while in edible vegeta-
BILE goods have registered noticeable
increase.
Edibles Hold Own.
Edible vegetable and animal products
from China, such as dried fish, cold
storage eggs. meats, beans, peas. fruits,
teas and spices are holding their own,
while non-metallic minerals Ike Jade.
cninaware, porcelain and other similar
products have dropped slightly.
Great Britain, France and Germany
have likewise increased their exports
from China as we'll as their import
business. Figures on imports, however,
for the first half Of this year have not
been released. 1t is understood that
they will show substantial increases.

RURAL NEW YORKER BLAMES
ZEPPELIN FOR BIG DROUGHT

Albany, NJ Y, Sept. % U.P0.-
The Graf Zeppelin and a belief
that the Gulf stream is changing
its course, stand out in a list of
carries for the recent drought, the
worst in New York state in rs
years, in the popular mind, accord
ing to Gustave S. Lindgren, gov
ernment weather forecaster here.
"That big Zeppelin is the cause
for this; it soaked up all the mois-
ture," complained one rural voice
over the telephone when the fore
caster was unable to promise rain.
Even if the Gulf stream disap-
peared altogether it would affect
climate in this section of the coun-
try but little, Lindgren said, as pre-
vailing winds are from the west
and weather more influenced by the
Pacific ocean than the Atlantic.

SACRED RITUAL OF INDIANS
REVEALED TO ETHNOLOCIST

Washington, Sept. 26 Omitted
Press) One of the most secret and
mysterious of all sacred rituals OF
a strange. Indian tribe, the cere-
mony attending the sacrifice OF
boiled puppies, jealously guarded
for generations, has just been re-
vealed by the Bureau of Ethnology
of the Smithsonian Institution.
Though obtained more than 10
years ago by DR.. Truman Nicholson
of the bureau staff, the ritual has
never been published for fear the
informant, an old Indian, would
meet certain death. DR.. Nicholson,
who has spent many years among
the Indians. learning their Ian
guages, beliefs, and customs, was
given the secret by an old Fox
chief who swore Nicholson to Sc
crecy until after his (the chief's)
death.
The cult of which the boiled pup
py ritual is ceremony is very ex-
it's members must be born
in the order.
The Thunder Dance-the princi-
pie ritual of the society-portrays
the manner in which Indians were
created, supposedly by manitou,
a supernatural being who probably
in the imaginative mind
of some Indian. This dance depicts
the story of the creative manitou
who took pity on his offspring and
called a meeting in the skies of
other manitous and bade them re-
spect his people.
