Brazilian Bond Default Causes Little
Surprise to Financiers.
NEW YORK, September 19 (P1.-The
declaration by Brazil of complete
moratorium on servicing of foreign
loans caused no surprise in Wall Street,
where it had been foreshadowed by
sharp declines in Brazilian bonds to
new lows.
Apparently the action had been dis
counted during the decline in Brazilian
bonds in recent weeks. Brazilian Ss
lost 5 points but other losses were only
Of point or two.
Suspended in August.
The Brazilian government announced
In August that amortization on its ex-
ternal loans. with the exception of three
issues, would be suspended until Bra
Ills foreign exchange position was
strengthened. 1t announced however,
that deposits of milreis would be made
locally for the deferred sinking fund
remittances.
The bonds excepted were the funding
loans Of 1898 and 1914 and the So
called coffee loan Of 1922. With the
exception of the sinking fund on Brazil
6l2s of 1926, which has been paid to
the trustees for application on october
!, Sinking-fund payments were there
fore suspended effective September /.
Bankers here said today that the
governments communicate indicates an
intention to suspend interest remit
tances as well as the sinking funds,
which would make Brazil the fourth
South American country to take such
action this year. The others are b.
livia, Peru and Chile.
Bankers Not Advised.
Dillon. Read g. Co., American bankers
nor Brazil, said today it had not been
advised Of the proposed default or Of
negotiations for a plan to meet the
country's problem with respect to ex-
change and its foreign debt.

the Cincinnati Reds OF 1903. There
is no record OF the number OF

losing yesterday, 8 20 0, the Reds
collected only five scattered hits
off Bob Smith.
Pittsburgh, with three straight

FIRE PREVENTION ON
THE FARM

Fire prevention on the farm
is one thing that should be
given careful consideration in
all sections of the country and
more particularly so dlring
times of drought as we'll as in
the fall of the year, when
grasses, weeds and dried vege-
table products are so easily
set on fire and so def1lcult to
control.
Many states have Inaugural
ted what they term ''fire pre-
vention weeks" some fixing
special weeks in the early fall.
While extreme fire hazards
exist on the farm, investiga-
ton shows, says the New Jer-
sey Department Agriculture,
that the majority of farm
fires are preventable. On the
average eight farm fires oc-
cur each week inthat state.
Open fires in any part of the
farmstead should be avoided
and particular care exercised
in the use of oil lamps and
lanterns. Burners in oil stoves
should be carefully cleaned
from time to time.
Oil soaked rags and waste
are a constant menace as they
ignite spontaneously.
Damp, uncured hay in barns
is often responsible for setting
the hay and buildings afire.
Farmers are urged to keep
buckets of water and buckets
of sand or chemical fire ext
inguishers in all farm build
ings to facilitate the exiting
uishing of fires as soon as
they break ont.
At all seasons of The wear
and particularly at the time
when underhrush is dry-and
especially where there has
been little rainfall, great care
should be taken to completely
extlnguish any fire built in the
open country or woods. If
such fires are built there ID a
possibility that they may get
beyond control and result in
serious forest fires.
In connection with fire gem
orally an ounce of prevention
is worth pound of cure, and
unfortunately sometimes there
is no cure and heavy losses OF
life and property ensue.
