FIRE HIGHWAY
IS DEMANDED. .

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Jan.
7.-Seeking fire protection for
Bradbury Heights, and q safe road
for children to use on their way to
school, a large delegation from
that town appeared before the
board of county commissioners
here yesterday to state their case.
Pointing out that under present
conditions fire apparatus on its
way to the town must traverse a
roundabout route, the delegation
asked for a road from Washington
Avenue to Mitchell Avenue and
then through the farm of Mrs.
John Riley. School children, it
was pointed out, could also use
this road instead Of the dangerous
Marlboro Pike. Although no right
of-way along Mitchell Avenue has
yet been procured, it was stated,
a 10-foot easement through the
Riley property has already been
granted.
Stating that 1,408 acres Of land
between Mattawoman and Piscat-
away creeks is inaccessible dur
ing six months of the year, a dele
CATION of citizens from that sec.
tion asked the board for a road
through the property. AS It now
stands, it was stated, property
which could be made into valuable
farms is now worth about S. per
acre.

POOR BUSINESS
BRINGS WARS

CHICAGO, Jan. 7.-Although
political malnutrition" was
partly responsible, the years up
risings in Argentina, Brazil, Bo-
livia and Peru were chiefly caused
by economic depression, it was
stated here by Prof. Chester Lloyd
Jones, of the University of Wis
consin. He added:
I'm practically all four of
these countries there was an
economic element that sharpen
ed a predispositiOn against the
government to the point where,
when business conditions began
to get bad, there was a gradual
reaction against the party or
parties in power"
The United States is most inter-
ested in Argentina and Brazil,
Prof. Lloyd Jones said, because of
the amount of American capital
invested in those countries.

FOOD LOAN TILT
R|PSCONGRESS
THREE WAYS
Relief for Needy In Cities
Demanded; Democrats Back
CaraWay's Fund Amendment

Republican chieftains Of the
House today assumed an attitude
Of "watchful waiting" toward the
$45, 600, 900 seed and feed loan
bill for drought-stricken areas IS
q conflict between city and rural
members of the House threatened
passage Of the bill.
A three-cornered battle de-
veloped aS the result Of the
amendment Of Senator Caraway
d. Of Arkansas, voted by the
Senate, adding $4,000, 900 in food
loans for farmers.
Republican leaders demanded
that Southern Democrats back
ing the Caraway amendment
abandon their fight for a vote
in the House and permit the bill
to go to conference.
Cities Want Aid
At the same time some Repre-
sentatives from big urban centers
declared they would fight for ap-
preparations up to $4,000, 900 to
feed unemployed in cities If the
bill carries money to buy food
for farmers.
Representatives LaGuardia (R)
of New York and SABBATH CD
of Illinois, were fighting the food
proposal-unless it were made to
apply to cities as we'll.
Representative SABBATH said:
my objection to the bill Is
that it is high time that some
consideration be given to city
people in need Of aid as well
as farmers.
'T have voted for farm relief
and am willing to continue to
do so, but, I'm going to de-
mand that if we provide food
for them we also provide food
for the needy in cities"
He said he would favor $780,
100000 to buy food, to be appor-
toned between city and rural
areas.
Food Fund Urged
Representative Patterson CD
of Alabama said he favors $780,
100000 to buy food for needy.
Republican leaders were de-
ternined to Kill the Caraway
amendment, and prevent the ad-
dition of any others to buy food.
The Caraway amendment was
voted by the Senate after a food
riot by farmers was reported
from Arkansas.
Representative Tilson of Con-
necticut. Republican leader, said
Southern Democrats must take
the blame if the seed loan bill
is long delayed.

For a month so1aEEcd moratoriums

simply that the man who could not pay
without sacrifice was given more time
by his bank and his merchant. Many
counties have extended the limit date
for tax payments for 80 days to allow
gathering of wheat. Mortgage compa-
MES haxe extended interest-payment
dates in case Of emergency. But the
limits are expiring. Taxes must be paid

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 1.-The first
month of the second half of the year
has closed with more indications Of
commercial solidarity and vigor than
could be observed II months ago, says
Dun's Review. While shadows continue
to obscure the better situation that is
present in several branches of activity,
these are being scattered slowly un0er
the glare of buying for replenishment
that permits no further postponement.
A steady merchandising volume
stands out in sharp contrast to de-
clining tendency in some manufactur-
ing lines, with sport goods, vacation ar
ticles, women's apparel, mems furnish
ings, and certain household necessities
making the largest contribution to the
distributive totals.
Even though the heavy sales of Sum-
mer goods have reduced stocks below
normal, merchants continue cautious
in their commitments, and wholesale
trade during the last week was out OF
alignment with the favorable start it
made at the opening of the month. The
greater stability of some price levels,
however, is expected to help greatly in
Fastening restocking, thus benefiting
factories and wholesale distribution.

Of their 1880 high. Commenting upon
the outlook Of the market for bank

the following:
There appears to be greater justi-
fication now for the discriminate pur-
chase of bank stocks than there has
been for some time, but the immediate
outlook still remains sufficiently uncer-
tain to justify an attitude of caution
and conservatism. We always dis
courage speculation in bank stocks, due
to the wide market fluctuations, the
Sizeable spread between the bid and
asked quotations and the comparative
ease with which these stocks move
in either direction. We would GER
tainly not advance the opinion that
bank stocks will not sell lower before
the current depression and broad de-
cline in the security markets has run
its course. In fact, we think 1t entirely
possible that they might, although tech
nical recoveries from time to time. par
ticularly after such a protracted de-
cline as has been experienced, might
reasonably be expected"

$11,OOO,OOO IN GOLD
ARRIVES FROM GERMANY


NEW YORK. August An inter-
esting item in the daily gold statement
of the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York today was the Importation OF
Sill 600 900 in gold from Germany. This
shipment is the first to be received
from that country since late in June
and is included in the S27,000,000 gold
shipped outward by the Reichsbank.
Official comment on gold movement
is not available at the Federal Reserve
Bank. but it was believed in Wall
Street that the shipment might be part
of the plan to resume more normal
banking practices in Germany, possibly
by Wednesday of next week. Such
plans would include support of Reichs-
mark exchange and the gold could be
used for that purpose.
An increase of 5000 600 in gold ear
marked for foreign account was an
nounced also. AS this latter opera
ton involves change in ownership
of the gold, although not in its physi-
cal location the net change for the day
in monetary gold stocks in New York
was a gain Of 100000.
