~ the Associated Press.
AUGUSTA, Ga, April 2S.-ChairInan
James c. Stone Of the Federal Farm
Board last night said much OF the
criticism Of the board was due to the

Carl Williams, member Of the board.

unexpected death here today of August

bail club, died at his home after a
years illness. He suffered general
breakdown In health and was II years

"Garry," as Hermann was known to
Iegions of base ball friends, in occupy
ing the position of chairman of the
National Commission, held post SINH
lar to that now intrusted to Commits
sioner Kenesaw Mountain lands, but
he did not possess near the ruling
power that the latter has been given.
Herrmann's daughter, Mrs. Lena
Finke: his son-ii-law, Carl Finke, and
sister-in-iaw, Mrs. Lena Deller, were at
Garry's bedside when death came.
The aged base ball leader would have

he has lived in retirement at his home.
He had been able to occasionally visit
his downtown Office until about Is
weeks ago, when he suffered an attack
of arterio sclerosis and was confined to
bed.

Hermann was the only club president
who ever succeeded in bringing q pen
nant to Cincinnati. That was in 1919,
when the Reds won the world series

deaux, Where Plane Will Be Wait
ing for Hop to England.
BY the Associated Press.
LISBON, Portugal, April 25.-The
Prince of Wales and his brother, George,
today participated in the last of the
ceremonials with which their trip to
South America and return has been so
replete.
Landing this forenoon from aboard
the liner Arlanza, they found a round
of engagements, including a solemn re-
ception by President Gen. Carmona,
awaiting them. The Prince of Wales
invested Gen. Carmona with the Grand
Cross of the Order OF the British
Empire.
Tomorrow they will take the cruiser
H. M. S. Kent from here to Bordeaux,
where they will board a large 18-
passenger airplane for the flight to
England, which they left nearly four
months ago.
It was uncertain almost up until
the last few hours that the two princes
would debark in Lisbon because of the
revolutionary situation in Madeira,
Portuguese dependency, which, it was
thought. might have had its effects in
the home country, but the stop was
finally included in their plans.
The upheaval in Spain caused cancel
lation of plans to come home by way
of Spain.

In bearish quarters it was
pointed out the market has on
two occasions failed to penetrate
the peak levels established on
January 6. Meeting heavy sell
ing at or near this level, accord
ing to the chart readers, demon.
StrateS the list as a whole is not
ready to move ahead substan-
TALLY. There is substantial
liquidation to be completed at
this point, according to the same
sources, though this weeks
further decline of $18,000,00O in
brokers loans would hardly bear
out that conclusion.
Test Market Strength
Having been inactive for nearly
a month, the "big bears" might
logically be expected to test its
strength. Uncertainty over the
special session of Congress and
hardness of the business recovery
are now playing directly into
their hands, but the next few
weeks should go far in removing
uncertainties in political as well
as economic matters. On the
whole, the market has been giving
a good account of itself.
Response to Buying
Partially has been pronounced
recently toward stocks of which
small amounts are outstanding,
because of the relative ease with
which such issues respond to con-
centrated buying demand. Among
the recent leaders which have
had limited floating supply of
stock, are Auburn Motor with
$4,000 shares outstanding; Case
Threshing, with $4,000 shares:
Foster Wheeler, with $4,000;
Byers, with 100000; Vanadium,
with 1000, and Columbian Car.
bon with $4,000. Scanning over
the remainder of the stock list
for future possible additions to
the ranks of outstanding per.
formers one brokerage house lists
the following issues of relatively
high quality that are likewise in
limited supply. These include
International Business Machines
with $4,000 shares; Johns Man.
vile, with 100000 shares; General
Railway Signal, with $4,000:
SafeWay Stores, with 655,OOO:
Penick and Ford, with 425 900;

8O5,000 shares.

ADS AND SALES
ARE LINKED

The close relationship between
increased advertising, increased
sales and steady employment is
shown in statement just issued
for publication by the American
Tobacco Company. According to
this statement, more people were
employed by the American To,
bacco Company on December 81,
1880, than on December 81, 1929,
This number includes salesmen
and factory and office employees.
This increase is concurrent with
an increase in the amount Of ad-
Vertising in newspapers and other
campaigns, according to affiCialS
of the company. Furthermore,
this company has had no layoffS;
and it has worked at full time and
at higher wages.
With steady employment and
increased advertising, increased
sales are also shown. For the first
IL months Of 1880, Lucky Strike
cigarettes showed an increase of
5,066, 100000 over the same period
in 1929. This increase of over S.
00O,000,000 compares with an in
crease of 172,708,O0O shown in all
cigarettes produced in the same
period, according to figures Of the
United States Treasury Depart
ment.
In these days of unemployment
and layoff, advertising appears to
be an important factor in alleVi-
ating the situation in individual
companies.
