WHEAT IMPORTS
SMALL IN EUROPE
Domestic Supplies Ample
for Most Requirements
Except in Italy.
BY FRANK i. WELLER,
Associated Press Farm Editor,

Import business in wheat remains
limited in the western Mediterranean
countries, with domestic supplies
ample for most requirements except
in Italy, reports to the Bureau of
Foreign Crops and Markets indicate.
Offers from growers in France
continued to be very pressing. while
millers purchased only for immediate
needs. The Italian market has been
generally firm with early June prices
higher than a month earlier. The
market in Spain remained firm, with
millers readily buying all wheat Of
fered at prices in some cases above
the fixed minimum of Sl.98 bushel
at current exchange.
Crops in the prairie provinces Of
Canada made good progress during
the last week due to further bene 1cial
rains. Wet weather checked the ac-
tivity of grasshoppers and poisoning
was continued with good results.
Reich Exports Curbed.
German exports of wheat, wheat
-four and oats have been prohibited,
ef1ectlVe since June 10.
The 1884 production of rye and
maslin (wheat and rye mixed) in the
Danubian Basin is tentatively forecast
at about As ,635 900 bushels compared
with the record 1888 crop of 81, ,507 900
bushels and the average production of
81 ,855 900 bushels. The 1884 rye crop
in the basin is expected to be the
second poorest since 1921 1t Is al
most certain Bulgaria, Rumania and
Yugoslavia will export practically no
rye or maslin during 1934-35, although
Hungary might export 100000
bushels, more or less.
AS a result of this years admittedly
poor production a keen demand for
rye has developed in all Danubian
countries and prices increased sharply
during May. 1t is probable that total
feed grain exports from the Danubian
Basin during l933-34 will fall far short
of the existing surpluses and there will
be a considerable carryover at the end
of the present marketing season. The
unfavorable crop outlook has resulted
in small offers. active demand and
greatly increased prices in all Dan
ubian countries.
More Moisture Needed.
In Western and Central Europe the
barley and oats crops are suffering
from lack of moisture. The export
able surplus of corn in Argentina II
mid-June was about li5,000, ,00C
bushels, which is much below that Of
any other recent year. The Russian
sowing campaign is approaching the
end with the acreage plan fulfilled BY
June to the extent of 98 per cent
and 225 100000 acres sown to al
crops.
New sales of cotton yarn and man.
ufactures in central Europe during
May were slightly lower than in the
preceding month. Spinner takings Of
American staple during the four weeks
ended in mid-May we're somewhat
below the high figures Of the three
preceding four-week periods They
are expected to show a further de
cline by the middle of June.
Fruit crops in Eastern Canada ar,
! expected to be considerably smalle
than last year because of Winter in
| jury and late froStS.

Advice
On Weddinq
Invitations
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
My wife-to-be and I are in
doubt about announcements,
invitations and so forth for
our wedding. I wonder if you
could set us right?
Here's the set-up. We want
to be married in church, if
things go the way we have
planned. 1t is located in a small
town where my wife-to-be went
to school and where we've both
made many friends. My wife
to-be does not live in this town
but about two miles away.
The question is: Should we
attempt to reach every friend
in that community with a writ
ten invitation, or would an an
nouncement in the local news
papers previous to the ceremony
suffice. except for our imme-
diate relatives and our really
true friends, or should we con-
fine all invitations to relatives?
If married at wife-to-be's home
should we place an announce
ment in local papers and con-
fine invitations to relatives. We
do not want to hurt anyone yet
wish to satisfy all friends and
relatives. READER.
Whether the wedding is to
take place in a church or in the
prospective brides home, every
person whom you wish to invite
should receive a direct invitation.
The kind of invitation de-
ponds on the Lind of wedding:
If the wedding is to be a formal
one, the invitations should be
the formal, engraved ones: if it
is to be informal. the brides
mother. or the bride herself,
write notes of invitation. But
it would not be at all correct for
you to invite your friends by
an invitation printed in the
local newspapers.

BLESSINGS Brighten AS They
Take Flight"
Dear Miss Fairfax:
About six months ago, my
boy friend and broke up. Once
in a while he comes around and
takes me for a motor ride
never by ourselves. He
doesn't act as if he cares any,
thing about me now. and
sometimes I wonder if he ever
thinks that once upon a time we
used to go steady" and were
head-over-heelS in love.
I go out with other boys but
none Of them interest me, as he
did and still does. I'm sure he
knows I'm crazy about him.
I expect my case is just one
more bit of evidence that bless
ings brighten as they take their
flight" DISCONTINUED.
It can't be a clean break, or
he wouldn't still come to take
you motoring. even if he does
take along someone else.
May l suggest that you don't
show him "how crazy" about
him you are. To cap your prov
erb with another: Men do not

Dogs Brain Is
Similar to
Humans
BY LIZ HUME

If you have come to the con-
clusion that your dog is very
nice - but just a little dumb,
then the following report may
be of interest to you - and
when you finish you may begin
to think that your accusations
are direct reflections on your
Judgment - and that all this
time you have been caring for
a highly intelligent, but very
much misunderstood, animal.
Association
The dogs brain is rather SINH
lar to the humans, both in
structure and function, accord
ing to DR.. w. Horsley CAN'T, of
the Phipps Psychiatric Clinic,
Johns Hopkins Medical School,
Baltimore, who has been con-
Quoting a series of experiments
with dogs.
This scientist goes on to say,
in a story by Mcdowell Lyon
which appears in the November
issue of the American Kennel
Gazette, that because of their
long association with humans,
dogs have acquired human
habits.
1t is pointed out by DR.. CAN'T
that the dog is closer to man in
every way than the majority
realize. In fact. dogs reflect the
major characteristics of their
human associates.
Practical Advice
The work at the Phipps Clinic
has gone forward on the same
lines as that carried out by
Prof. I. P. Pavlov, the world
famous Russian scientist, of
whom DR.. CAN'T was a pupil
and is the only American collab-
orator. In general. the expert
ments being conducted with
dogs are to determine the COM
plete paths of certain reflexes,
and the effects of inhibitions.
The conclusion at which DR..
CAN'T arrives are for applica.
ton to the human mind, but his
work is equally important for
the training and treatment of
dogs.
One practical bit of advice for
dog trainers, discovered by DR..
CAN'T, is that food never should
be used as a reward in training
q dog.
If the dog is not rewarded with
food every subsequent time, it
brings about an inhibition which
defects and prostrates the dog.

phoned me every evening. It
was love at first sight for me.
He asked me not to go out with
anybody else, and I promised to
stay in three nights a week.
Today he called, and acted
very strange. He asked what I
would do if he would stop COM
ing to see me. I answered:
What could I do?"
Then he asked if I would miss
him and my reply was: "Of
course" He then released me
from my promise of not going
out with others and said we
only thought we loved each
other. I took it smilingly, and
pretended it didn't hurt, and he
said he might take me out this
Friday. I'm anxious to win him
back.
Should I have acted differ
emily? Do you think he was
just trying to test me, and
should 1 try to forget him? It's
not a schoolgirl infatuation,
as I'm % and he's Is.
BEWILDERED.
You did the proper thing in
showing that you weren't hurt
by this young mans capricious
conduct. There are a lot of
tickle young men floating about,
who imagine it's "love at first
sight" with every pretty girl
they meet.
Your chances of winning him
back will be better if you run
the show. rather than let him
have his own sweet way about
things. A little independence
on the part of a girl is as re-
freshing as a dash of tobasco
sauce on a clam.

you're going to do your house
or bathroom over, it's a fine
idea to have a closet with glass
door opening off the bathroom,
or as near to it as possible.
The glass-door idea is new, but
isn't necessary.
Clever Linen Closet
We're showing a picture of a
stunning closet, full of linens,
some of them the new towels
just out this fall. One feature
of this closet is a 24-inch shelf
which pulls out, and gives you
a place to sort your linen before
you put it away.
There are extra shelves for
supplies of soap, and drawers
that will be fine for storing
things like extra bed spreads,
and blankets not in use. Notice
the nice linoleum on the floor,
and the bit of decoration over
the shelves.
The other picture shows you
more detail of some of the new
towels. There are three types
of stripes bordering towels, and
they can all be used together
with good effect. The scalloped
towels are lovely, and they will
60 nicely in almost any bath
room. They come in many and
various combinations of color.

ArmiStice Day

ArmiStice Day
The guns are silent now, the
end has come.
The end of rending soul from
quaking flesh;
But for an hour the spent
world, stricken dumb,
Lies unaware that War has
loosed its mesh,
Lies as still captive in the giants
net.
Through bondage there
grown numb in every limb
With heart too weary, brain
to dulled to fret;
Or to rebel against the mon
ster grim.
So numb; but soon the gradual
thought returns
Like life's red stream to late
unshackled feet,
Though slow at first, through
every vein it burns,
The thought of peace, i'm
meaSurably sweet!
And then all Threats to heaven
their joy release:
THE war is done! Thank God
for peace, for peace!"

table, and while it bubbled and
steamed we all dipped crusts
of rye bread stuck on forks into
the hot cheese, swirled the
crust around to wind up any
loose ends, blew on it to cool it
off - and popped it into the
watering mouth-such morsel
of golden SAVIOR that it almost
beggars description.
Magic Touch
watched very carefully, but
1t is always difficult to spot just
the tiny trick that makes all
the difference in a dish like
this.
First, he grated imported
Swiss cheese into the chatting
dish, which had previously
been rubbed with garlic.
Then in went a glass of cham
payne, and the whole was set
over the flame. He stirred it
constantly, so that it would not
become lumpy.
When it was thinned out and
melted down, he added some
nutmeg, and kept on stirring.
AS it began to thicken again,
dash of vodka was added-more
stirring went on, and it finally
became about the consistency
Of a good welsh rarebit.
That was the moment!
The rye bread with caraway
seeds in it, went into action,
and conversation languished
completely until the last of the
cheese had disappeared from
the bottom of the chatting dish.
Added Flavor
There was champagne to
drink with the fondu. and it
proved to be exactly the right
wine for the occasion. When
the last cheese crust had van
tshed from sight, the chatting
dish was removed and a big
bowl of coollooking fresh
grapes, apples and pears set in
its place.
And here again was the per-
feet complement to the fondu
for you know how cheese
eaten together with apples or
pears gains an added charm"
ing flavor, and the use OF the
fruit as a dessert blended all
together in perfect harmony.
Afterwards, of course, there
were coffee and liqueurs, to
round out the evening. l
couldn't help thinking, as I
sat slipping coffee and listen
ing to Dwight Fishes brittle
voice recounting the vapours
of Mrs. Pettibone via Victrola
record-that once again a
bachelor had beaten feminine
housekeepers at their own game
and how!
