PERGLER BELIEVES
SELF INDICATED
National U. Graduates Dean
Comments on His Election
for Prague Council.

The Prague elections, which Sunday
Resulted In his choice for the Prague
Council, today were characterized by
Dr. Charles Pergler as 1.-The answer
81 the capital Of Czechoslovakia to my
illegal removal from Parliament and
The signal that Benes, Czechoslovakia's
foreign minister and his own poiltical
enemy, "has lost his grip"
Or. Pergler. who is in Washington
now as dean OF the graduate depart
nent of National University, was for
mer Minister here from Czechcslovakta.
He also served his country in that
capacity in Japan end has been lead
ang figure in international politics as
they affect his nation.
When advised today that he and the
National League, which he headed In
resterday's elections. were victorious by
= large majority, even on the incom-
plete returns, DR. Fergler issued the fol-
lowing statement:
Holds Self indicated.
"The Prague city election Is the
answer of the capital of Czechoslovakia
to my illegal removal from Parliament,
brought about by the personal machi-
nations of Mr.. Edward Benes, the
foreign minister. The claim that /
was not a Czechoslovak citizen wss
always absurd. 1t was resorted to by
Benss as a last desperate measure to
remove from the political arena an
uncompromlsing critic.
THE victory of the National League,
which honored me by placing my name
At the head of its ticket in my abb
Mence, is all the more striking when 1t
as considered that two years ago, when
Il was elected to Parliament, the sue
cess was due to o cooperation OF q
number of groups. The National
League this time participated in the
municipal elections independently and
It is clear that, standing alone, 1t has
polled more votes than the .combina-
ton Of which it was a member two
years ago.
SAYS Benes Power Wanes.
"The National League stands for
democratic principles and profound so
cial and economic reforms. 1t has OPP
posed. and will continue to oppose, the
cictatorial methods of Benes and also
his policies in the sphere OF foreign
affairs, where from the Czechoslovak
point OF view, as interpreted by the
league, for 10 years it has been COM
plete failure.
"The leagues victory only emphasizes
the fact that Benes has~lost his grip
This has not been known abroad, due
to intensive personal propaganda; new
ertheless. 1t Is a fact, now striktngly
illustrated by the returns from Prague
mfr. Benes and the so-called cleo
toral court, which, however, is merely
q committee of political parties, and
not a court at all, have been en-
phatically answered by the voters OF
Prague"

WOMEN TO DISCUSS
BUYING OVER RADIO
q, S. Chamber of Commerce to
Sponsor Series of Talks
on Network.

In an effort to initiate new under
standing between retailers and consum-
ers, a series of radio addresses, featuring
representative American women, will be
broadcast under auspices of the United
States Chamber of Commerce and
afiliated member trade organizations
The series, which will be heard locally
over station wMAL of the Columbia
Broadcasting System, will begin soon,
at date later to be announced.
The chamber In announcing the cam
paign today, declared American con-
sumers spend $50 900, 10000 annually
in retail stores and most Of the money
is spent by women.
The series Of talks will be to better
acquaint the consumers with the func-
tons and operations of the stores in
which they spend their money. The
situation is more interesting" the
national chamber states, when we
realize that retailers and consumers are
utterly dependent on each other.
Without consumers the stores would be
forced to close; without stores the con-
sumers would be unable to satisfy daily
necessities"
The series of talks will be carried over
Nationwide network of the Columbia
system.

What Those
Important PCS. Are

Just underneath every inch of your skin
are millions of tiny tubes called Peripheral
Capillaries (P.C's) pronounced "ps>rF-er-
Sl kaprT>la>riE", the smallest blood vessels
in the body. These P. C's. are natural
thermoststs In controlling the body's tenn
perature. When chilled, these tiny blood
vessels contract, forcing the warm blood
away from the cold spot. If much chilled,
these tiny tubes contract 80 tightly that
the minute muscles just beneath the
surface of the skin pucker it into what
we call "goose-flesh" When the
cir becomes hot, the peripheral capillaries
expand, bringing added blood to the skin.
Their activity stimulates the sweat glands
which discharge moisture to evaporate on
the skin to cool off the blood. When your
P. ca. expan6and contract, they not only
make you uncomfortable, but they have a
direct influence upon other parts of the
body-the membranes of the throat and
chest are affected, for instance, SO that
their resistance to germs 10 lessened. That's
why uneven temperatures are likely to
cause colds, coughs, or worse ills.
Data obtained from leading Medical authorities.

INCREASED COPPER
USAGE is PREDICTED
Trade Authority Sees Demand for
Red Metal in Building
Industry.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
A ray of hope is handed the copper
industry by william A. Willis, manager
of the Copper and Brass Research As
ISOLATION, who predicts the increased
use of the metal in modern construc-
ton.
American architects are interested
in modernism as applied to building
construction" says Mr.. Willis, "and the
success achieved elsewhere will be re-
sponsible for a much larger use of
metal and glass for exterior construc-
ton. Many architects are not hesitat-
ing to express the belief that, because
of the general use of steel framework
for buildings, the wall of the future will
be merely a curtain.
When that belief is translated into
actual construction, it is almost a fore
gone conclusion that copper will be
even more indispensable in building
construction than it is today. Modern
ism in all kinds of construction is dis
tinguished by large use of metal and
glass. Copper is preferred as a metal
for this type of construction because OF
its lasting and rustproof qualities"

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, January 12.-There is
a feeling in many brokerage houses that
the generally favorable character of
recent news, including United States
Steers untitled tonnage figures, will
influence higher stock market prices.
Advices to customers today were largely
of the opinion that in view of the
strong resistance to selling the recovery
apparently has further ground to cover.
Opinions follow:
Babcock, Rushton g. Co. THE
irreglilarity and unconvincing natures
of the market are on the surface. The
background is one of thoroughly liqui-
dated position, with stocks in a slow
and leisurely uptrend."
Hornblower & Weeks-"While we be-
lieve the tenor of the market will be
firm the early part of this week, we
feel the advances will all be moderate
and that trading will continue hstless."

CANADIANS HOPEFUL
OF FARM AID PLANS
Dominion Government Is Making
Effort to Relieve Rural
Section.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
TORONTO, January 12.-In spite of
the uncertainties with which the new
year opened, the Dominion is now find
ing encouragement in the practical
methods that the federal government
is applying toward the solution Of the
country's agricultural problems.
For many years the railways and the
banks have been warning the west
against what they call wheat mining"
or an exhaustion of the soil by lack
of attention to proper farming methods.
Now that low prices have forced the
prairie country to pay attention to the
advantages of lower cost of production,
the department of agriculture is plan
ming to introduce some of the methods
that restored prosperity to the north
western states in 1926.
Among the efforts to induce more
efficient farming in the west win be the
greater use of fertilizers and the better
preparation of seed beds. Better seed
will be furnished by the government
and definite aid given in improving the
quality of live stock in the prairie
provinces,

BULLISH Sentiment
PERSISTS IN STREET
Traders Impressed by Extent Of
Recovery in Last Three
Weeks.
Epecial pispateh to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 1.-THE stock
market today entered its third week OF
cheerfulness concerning securities and
business. A study of the net changes
last week in both stocks and bonds
emphasizes the extent of the recovery
and of the change in sentiment that
has come over Wall Street since the
end of December. The improvement in
prices in itself is a force of no small
Importance on the bulliSh side.
On the other hand, the size OF the
rally. both in the averages and in the
gains of individual stocks, places the
market in a less favorable technical po-
sition and is responsible for some COM
ments in brokers letters today that the
effect of good news has run its course
and that a reaction is not improbable

WESTERN FARMERS
TO DEMAND RELIEF
Rural Districts Will Oppose High
Taxes in Various State
Legislatures.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

KANSAS CITY, Md, January H.
With the Legislatures of the farm States
getting under way, it becomes more
apparent that agrarian influence in
law-making Is to be felt Importantly.
The reaction against high taxes and
the dif1culty Of meeting the obligations
involved in extensive local construction
seem likely to place the Assemblies on
a most strict economy program.
It is noticeable that while the build
ing program of the cities has reached
over into the new year, little new con-
struction is planned. AS the projects
under way are finished it is not clear
just what is to follow. In this city,
house building decreased so per cent
from 1929 and apartment units de-
creased IS per cent. Out through the
rural sections new hotels, store build
ings and residences are rising in limited
numbers. The expansion of public
works is serving to keep one form of
business moving, but Legislatures are
likely to curtail that to lessen the tax
burden.
