tors in Jail will be given profitable dl-
version with the establishment IN all
the republics penal institutions OF the

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, January 5.-Cautious
investment and trading policies were
advised by brokerage houses in their
market comment today. Some believed
a technical rally could not long be de-
layed
E. F. Hutton & Co-The reconvening
of Congress and uncertainty over the
tariff revision policy has injected addi-
tional nervousness into the stock mar
ket outlook. 1t seems to us that the
average Speculator and investor will do
better to wait and follow the trend after
1t develops than to try to anticipate
the bottom.
Frazier, Jelke g. Co.-On the whole.
the action of the market, both Satur-
day and Monday, is distinctly disap-
pointing and suggests lower prices be-
fore a sizeable rally enSues. Legislative
uncertainty at Washington apparently
is the most potent beariSh factor at the
moment, but the action of stocks like
western Union, American Telephone
and General Motors indicates that there
still is a good deal of genuine liquida-
ton in progress.
Paine Webber & Cove do not be-
lleVe that the making of a new low yes
terday necessarily calls for an inmedi-
side, and while we would interpret yes
terday'S action as probably precluding
the likelihood of a rally starting at
once from current levels, the market is
more likely to drift a while. awaiting
some favorable news development, than
10 push on downward for a substantial
distance.
Jackson Bros, Boesel & Co.-Undue
emphasis on the difficulties of isolated
banks is not warranted The failures
which were announced conceded in
time with the last call of the controller
OF currency. We know Of no new devel-
opments which might accelerate bank
ing difficulties in various parts of the
country. On the contrary. new develop
mentS are in prospect which should
strengthen the general banking situa-
tlon In the near future. These devel-
opmentS will grow out of the legalizing

FRENCH FARMERS LAUNCH FIGHT
 ON SHORT WEEK
Agricultural Society Plans Battle in Parliament
 This Winter

Paris-(UP) - French farmers are up in arms against any intro duction of the 40-hour week.
 Denying the doctrine, promul. gated in other nations, that re- stricted working hours will reduce unemployment, the French farmer predicts that such reform will spell disaster for him.
 The conflict in viewpoint between the French industrialist and tho farmer has arisen because or the growing recognition of the econ omic wisdom of five-day or 40- hour week. It is generally conceded that the French delegation at years International Labor conference VIII go on record as sanctioning this re- form.
 This will not be done, however, if the Societe des Agriculteurs can prevent it.
 The French farmer, burdened with taxes, foresces another inan- 'cial load, If the restricted week is introduced As matters now stand, he can keep his helpers in the held as long as he deems necessary, and a i2-hour day costs him no more than the 18-hour day, at harvest time.
 With a certain amount of justice, the farmers assert that Legislation of a 4O-hour week would drain the country districts of their labor.
 What the industrialists decline to see, they declare, is that. even If such a measure benefited them Tn urban cepters, the resultant effect in rural communities would be ex- tremely serious.
 inevitably the French govern. ment must recognize the farmers position. In any event, if 4O- hour measure reaches the parlia- ment. a historic clash seems cer- tain. Y

Timely warning to huntsmen in Connecticut to be wary about ham, ding or dressing wild rabbits. since some of them may carry the germ of tularemia or rabbit fever which can easily be conveyed to man, was given today in a state- ment issued by Dr Willard Knowl- ton, director of the bureau of pre- ventable diseases of the state de- |partment of health.
 Two adm0nitions were given by Dr Kn0wlton concerning this dis ease; first, hunters should wear rubber gloves in dressing all rab- and, second, hunters should be sportsman-like and avoid shooting down rabbits which fail to run. The chances are that the rabbit which exhibits lassitude and does not take to his nimble heels at the sight of hunter is a sick animal and may be course of infection to humans.
 While tularemia is most common among rabbits, it is also found
 
 wildmice and in some kinds of wild birds like quail and grouse. The disease takes its name from having been first discovered by the United States public health service in Tulare county, California. Since then 1t has been found in practical iy all of the states and in Russia and Japan. Several hundred cases have been reported in the United States during the past dozen years. of which about four per cent have been fatal. Approximately one per cent of the wild rabbits in the west are said to be infected. Persons who purchase rabbits and dress them at home Or persons working in meat markets may become infected from them unless their hands are pro- tected. Open wounds which come into contact with the blood of in- fected rabbits are particularly dan- gerous. There is no hazard, how ever, in eating well-cooked game, since cooking kills the germs. On two occasions, rabbits ship- ped from the west to be released as wild game in Connecticut were found to be infected with a dis ease suspected to be rabbit fever, Fortunately, says Dr. Knowlton, a regulation of the fish and game commission now requires a ten day quarantine on all shipments of such game coming into the state, If the game develops indications or disease during the quarantine, the entire shipment is destroyed to
