BRAZIL IS FACING
POLITICAL CRISIS.
President Vargas Must PIa-
cate His Colleagues OF
~ Cabinet Today.

By the Associated Press.
.BUENOS AIRES, March 21.-Prazil
stood today at the most important po-
HticaI crossroads since the 1880 revo-
luton. A decision was imminent on
whether Getulio Vargas, de facto Pres
tdent, or another will restore const1-
tutional government in the Western
Hemispheres second largest republic.
Rio Grande Do Sui, President Var
gas native state, has deserted his re-
Rime, charging he has delayed unduly
the restoration of legal government,
following his seizure Of power Two
years ago.
Meets Cabinet Today.
Unless the President is successful in
placating his Southern Brazilian cab
met colleagues at a conference at Rio
de Janeiro today his position may
easily become hardly tenable.
Gen. Flores da Cunha, Governor OF
the State of Rio Grande Do Sui, left
Yesterday from Porto Allegro for Rio,
summoned by Vargas for conference
on the situation. Unless the two
soldier statesmen succeed in patching
I'D their differences indications were
that the other powerful Southern State
of Sac Paulo also would withdraw Its
support.
A more speedy termination of the
de facto status of the government is
virtually the sole issue in the political
crisis. Vargas, declaring a permanent,
orderly Reorganization Of the political
structure of the nation is most I'M
portant, has expressed a desire to pro-
ceed slowly enough to allow thought
ful redrafting of the Brazilian consti-
tuition. One Of the measures he wishes
to incorporate Is universal suffrage Tor
both sexes.
Once these reforms were outlined,
Vargas has said, he would hold elee-
tions as soon as BraIls scattered 40
O00, 900 people were sufficiently ac-
quainted with the issues to vote in
telligently.
Business Declines.
Business conditions have grown worse
In BraziiS industrial states, however,
notably in the States of Rio Grande
Do Sui and Sac Paulo and the decline
has been blamed by leaders of those
states on political uncertainty.
Business interests have complained
the efforts of the de facto government to
stabilize conditions were ineffective be-
cause they were necessarily temporary.
The demand for Fastening the restora-
ton of constitutionalism, however, has
been economic rather than political.
The belief Of all factions, as reflected
in expressions here, Is that any po-
litical change would be effected as a
peaceful government move, rather than
as a military maneuver.

CHICAGO, March 21.-The Chicago

They found her wandering around In

U. S. ASKED TO ISSUE
BILLION PAPER MONEY
Chicago Business Men Say New
Currency Could Be Used to
Wipe Out Deficit.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. March 21-An organiza-
tion of Chicago business men has ap-
pealed to the Federal Government to
issue new currency to the possible
extent of a billion dollars.
The plan was suggested in resolutions
adopted by the Uptown Clark Street
Business Association. Copies of the
resolutions were sent to President
Hoover, the majority leaders in both
houses of Congress, and the National
Association of Commerce.
Financial leaders IN the association
said they believed several hundred
million dollars in gold is being kept in
the Treasury for redemption Of old-size
currency. They declared a billion in
currency might be issued on it, as
Federal reserve rules allow issuance of
$3.50 worth of paper money for every
81 in gold
The new currency might be used
toward removing the $l,24l .000, 900
deficit in the Treasury, the resolutions
said.

Rough Legged Hawk.

"HIS famous hunter may be iden-
titled by his feather trousers,
which reach well to his ankles.
Il He believes in doing his shop
ping early" for he is not only
the most nocturnal Of all the hawks,
but begins before dark to do his mar
keting. Sometimes he sits on a shrub
close to the ground, his keen eyes, with
their wonderful vision. watching the
letting his wings brush the top Of the
grass. The startled victims make run
for shelter. and the clever hunter drops
quietly upon his prey. Unless the
frightened rodent gives last squeak,
not sound has been heard. In flying,
this hawk descends with a measured,
noiseless movement and rarely does the
hunter miss his mark.
Meadow mice are widely distributed
and occur in great numbers in certain
sections Of the country. especially
where there are large orchards and
acres Of grain. Millions Of dollars are
lost through the activities of the whole
rodent family, and the rough-1egged
hawk does a flourishing business for
himself and great service to man.
Ornamental trees are also the VIC
Tins of mice. Through the long Win
ter months when the snow Is deep,
these creatures make tunnels to the
trees and eat the tender bark. Trees
that have been gird!ed always die.
Keeping the trash raked up at the base
of the tree and seeing that no hiding
place is available for them Is one way
to drive mice to other hunting grounds.
The rough-legged hawk does not
mind cold weather, but he must have
mice, and he cannot hunt them under
the blanket Of snow. Therefore. he
takes himself off to where the climate
is more agreeable to moles, shrews.
