j. s. PLANS TRADE
PACT WITH SPAIN
Bartering Agreement With
Germany Regarded Un-
favorabIy Here.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The State Department yesterday
opened negotiations with Spain for
the third of its European reciprocal
trade agreements, and at the same
time let it be known 1t did not look
with favor on q German proposal to
exchange beer and other manufac-
tured products for cotton.
An invitation to negotiate trade
agreement was extended to Spain, and
hearings on the pact were set for NO
vember IL.
Secretary Hull, while giving no
official answer to the German sugges-
ton that various German manufac-
tured products be exchanged for
American raw materials, made known
that he considered bartering agree
ments a possible hindrance rather
than an aid to restoring world trade.
Marrow Policy"
Reciprocal trade agreements, rear
ranging tariff barriers, Hull explained,
are designed to cope with the entire
worldwide situation rather than act
as a temporary corrective In any
specified area. A narrow policy cont
fined to evenly balancing trade be-
tween any two nations. he asserted,
was the most direct road to economic
ruin. He added he could not believe
nations would deliberately 60 hell
bent to commit economic suicide"
Meantime, Matthew Woll. vice presi-
dent of the American Federation OF
Labor. speaking under the auspices OF
the Foreign Policy Association. de-
clared in a radio address that inter-
national bankers and those who own
and control the sugar and tobacco
lands of Cuba are the real bene-
ficiaries of the recently concluded
trade agreement with Cuba.
Asserting that the Roosevelt ad-
ministration is making reciprocal
agreements which will throw the
products of cheap labor abroad
against products manufactured under
the N. r. A. here, Woll demanded
that such products be barred from
this country. He asked that all
Americans refuse to purchase prod
ucts other than the products Of Amer
lCdl1 1dUOi.
Eight Pacts Considered.
The opening of negotiations with
Spain will bring to three the number
of trade pacts so far projected in
Europe. Eight others are completed or
under negotiation in Latin America.
The State Department reported
Yesterday that American exports to
Spain decreased from $82, ,l20,730 in
l929-the banner year-to $50 0756, ,698
in 1898. Imports from Spain de-
creased from 36,059.277 to $l3,70l,-
439 in the same period.
Spain's principal exports to the
United States include cork, olive oil,
olives, almonds, hides and skins and
pepper. There is an increasing mar
ket in this country also for Spanish
wines.
Spain provides an excellent market
for American cotton, automobiles and
trucks, mineral oils, wheat, tires and
other rubber manufactures, machin-
cry. lumber and timber, leaf tobacco
and chemicals.

BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. September 18.-Steady
and substantial growth of the cooper
ative grain marketing movement in
the United States was cited today by
c. E. Huff, president of the Farmers
National Grain Corporation, in his an
nual report to stockholders.
Operations Of the corporation for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1884,
showed a loss of S662 ,5038 87 after
charging off liberal depreciation and
absorbing a number of homecoming
losses Mr.. Huff stated The capital
of the corporation, 81 .048. 200. was un-
impaired. surplus totaled $64,17813
and reserves s9l0583.56 During the
period from July to August 81, 1884,
however. the corporation handled
40, ,l69 ,l08 bushels of grain, in the face
Of the shortest cereal crop within two
generations, and made a net profit of
s6S3,18204, more than equal to last
years loss"
Urging continued support of the
Federally- approved codes covering
grain exchanges and country elevators,
Mr.. Huff asserted they can be of help
to the co-operatives if soundly planned
and administered.

AND MATERNAL CARE

AND MATERNAL CARE
A little book on Prenatal and Ma
ternal Care" by w. E. Hunter, A. B.
NJ. D.. F. A. G. g., Of Los Angeles,
seems to me more meaty and practi-
cal than other books on the subject,
for expectant or amateur mothers.
Don't let the string Of letters after the
authors name frighten you; there are
really no hifalutin airs about him, Is
you viii see when you read his book.
Dr. Hunter tells Us that more than
500 theories for the determination Of
sex have been advanced and discard
ed
Offhand I should say the estimate
Is moderate. Approximately 400 Of
the theories have been expounded to
me by correspondents who desire i'm
mediate confirmation 20 they can be-
gin to get ready to commence think

kindly include directions for birth

Scientific study Of emhryology has
shown that the chromosomes (cellu-
lar elsments) Of both male and female
cell nuclei carry the hereditary tend
encies and sex qualities and that the
sex Of offspring Is the product Of the
predominating number Of sex elements
in the two nuclei that fuse to form the
embryo.
There ore equal numbers Of sperm
cells predominating In either male or
female chromosomes. 20 It . purely
! matter Of chance which type Of
sperm cell reaches the ovum first.

Or. Hunter points out . trick Of
the trade. "Often doctors resort to
subterfuge by asking the patient
which eek = desired and then pre-
dieting the opposite sex. II the guess
proves correct the physician Is pro-
claimed . prophet, but II the guess
Be incorrect the mother Is 50 pleased
with the result that the doctors mis-
take Is entirely overlooked"
Since the chances are fifty-fifty
the question affords midwives, fish
wives, old wives and young 'uns wide
scope for bandying mystic methods.
"As soon - the patient feels rested
ana has recovered from the soreness
caused by the muscular exertions Of
labor, it Is well for her to begin sys-
tematic, active movement Of the
muscles Of the body" says Dr.. Hunter,
and the little book describes and IL

most suitable for restoring tonicity To
