LOAN RATE SAGS

Commercial Paper RecedeS

Board Reports.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Continued monetary ease which
brought prime commercial paper to
the lowest figure on record-A Of !
per cent-in June was reported by the
Federal Reserve Board.
Commercial loans declined, the
board said, the 10000 900 increase in
loans and investments by reporting
member banks between May Is and
June l3 being accounted for by loans
to brokers and purchases of securities
other than governments.
Member bank excess reserves ad-
vanced to high of 81 800, 100000 in
the first half of June as result OF
Treasury expenditure of cash and de-
posits with the Federal Reserve Banks
and a growth in the monetary gold
stock. They dropped to 81 ,675 900 900
in the week ending June 20. however,
due to Treasury deposits at reserve
banks in connection with tax receipts
and sales of Government securities.
Production Increases.
Industrial production rose from 86
per cent of the l923-l925 average in
April to 81 per cent in May. The
board reported that unseasonal main
tenance of steel mill activity for the
first three weeks of June above the
May level represented considerable
stocking.
Lumber production remained at
about one-third the 1923-1925 level
and textile output declined partly
as a consequence of seasonal develop
ments" Petroleum production gained.
Greater employment was reported
in manufacturing establishments
producing durable goods, particularly
steel and non-ferrous metal products.
The usual seasonal decline in factory
employment generally between the
middle of April and middle Of May
was not experienced.
The May increase in freight traffic,
larger than the customary seasonal
rise, reflected chiefly shipments of
miscellaneous products.
Construction Down.
Construction contracts, as reported
by the F. w. Dodge Corporation, de-
clined in the Spring months, due
largely to reduction in the number
of public works projects started. The
volume of construction under way.
however. was augmented as work
progressed on contracts previously
awarded.
The general level of wholesale prices
advanced sharply in the middle of
June, due largely to mounting prices
for live stock and live stock products.
Wheat declined considerably in the
first three weeks of June, after its
May advance, although cotton in
creased and hog prices jumped
sharply from recent low levels. Cop
per prices rose.
Automobile prices were reduced
generally in the early part of June.

 on account of here comes my hus- bandl"
 Your husband?" repeated Eddie incredulously, looking around just in time to see the head barber bearing down on him with a grim expression,
 WHAT'S ALL THE
 COMMOTION HERE?"
 Whats all the commoition here?" asked the head barber. ''Is this man annoying you, Honey bunch 2"
 Him? Why no, dear. never saw him before"
 ".Then what's the trouble here?' demanded the head barber im- patiently.
 "Why, er--the towels were too hot" stammered Eddie.
 The head barber turned to the barber waiting on Eddie. Look here, Perkins," he said severely, you'll have to be more careful with the customers!"s
 The barber opened his mouth to protest, when he saw the dollar bill that Eddie was waving fran tically at him behind the head barber's back. "Yes, MT Botts," he said meekly, as he eased Eddie back into the chair and covered his face with father. Eddie thought it better not to protest, even when the barber, through some over- sight, neglected to strop his razor. In the meantime the barber sug- gested several ways in which Eddie might atone for slandering his technique, emphasizing his words by flourishing his razor above Eddie's throat. Eddie sub mitted to a massage, shampoo, a singe, and three kinds of hair tonic, before he was allowed to leave the shop. An hour later i, he met Joe. "Whew," said Joe as he walked into the aura of rose and lilac that emanated from Eddie. You smell like harem. How'd. you make out with the Southern babe ?" 'Southern!" repeated Eddie dis gustedly. "she's never been south of Atlantic City?" ''What about that accent?" "Phony as copper quarter. She uses a different accent on each customer"
 How about those show tickets" 'I gave them to the barber to keep him from cutting my throat" said Eddie.
 THE END.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-07-19

Eddie left with a dreamy express sion on his face and a secret re- solve that some day he would take 1 her away from all this. He con- fessed his feelings to Joe, and | asked for suggestions as to how he could meet his hearts desire in less professional surroundings h a n those he encountered in the barber shop.
 Well" said Joe, eff you're real ly serious about this blonde doll
 with her Southern baby-talk, why not drop around just at closing time and take her to a show"
 SWELL IDEA"

 Swell idea" agreed Eddie. "Ill get couple of tickets to Head l over Heels
 "Aw, why don't you start her
 out with a movie, and sort of work
 up slow, before you waste a good show on her."
 "No,"' said Eddie, mot this girl She deserves something better than
 the others"
 That night Eddie, unable to stay away until closing time, stopped at the barber shop to make sure that Angelina was still there, but she
 was nowhere in sight. The head barber began to watch Eddie sus- piciously. Are you looking for

 "Why, uh, no; l just wanted a haircut" said Eddie.

Tropics War Worse
 Than Western Front
Retired Campaigner Declares Spanish-American Con-
 flict Toughest st-Unprepared for Equator

Bonneville, Mo. (UP).-Soldier- ing in the tropics, or in the World War-which was the harder?
 Col John B. Barnes, U. s. A., re- tired, will tell you emphatically fighting Uncle Same's battles in the Philippines was much more hazardous than fighting in Eu- rope to keep the world safe for democracy"
 Colonel Barnes now is an in- structor at Kemper Military School here.
 He's qualified to discuss sol- diering under almost any condi- tions because he's a veteran of many campaigns in the tropics, and also of the World War.
 The 30th annual convention of the Departmnet of Missouri, United Spanish War Veterans, held here, enabled Colonel Barnes to renew acquaintances formed before the turn of the century, and to enter into length discus sion of the hardships of the vari- ous campaigns in which the U. S. army has taken part.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-07-19

There is no denying lethal ma- chimes used in the World War were far more deadly in respect to ability to deal out death in large quantities, Colonel Barnes said.
 But that's where the World War stopped being harder on the troops than was the Spanish American War and the actions n the Philippines.
 We were totally unprepared for military campaigns near the equator," Colonel Barnes said. We didn't know how to soldier in the tropics. We went in heavy blue uniforms. The type of food was entirely uusuited to the cli- mate and politics and graft gave us embalmed beef and other com- rnodities that would not have been tolerated at home.
 There was no refrigeration on the ships that took us over and the spoiled beef we had to eat or starve-stunk to the high heavens.
 However, hardships on the troop ships were a picnic com- pared to soldering in the tropics in those years when Uncle Sam was learning the hard lessons of governing the little brown brother" in his new overseas do- minion."

BABOON KIDNAPS
 SHEAR OLD BOY
Tribe of Apes Raised Famed Character From
 BOyhOOd

Greenwich, Conn. (UP).-The story of a famous fiction char acter, who was raised from baby hood by tribe of apes, is entirely plausible, says Major General Ivor Thord- Gray, soldier of fortune who recently received the most valued decoration of the Swedish government.
 Thord- Gray, who has cam paigned and explored in a dozen countries and holds numerous decorations, related the story of q sickly eight-year-old white boy, who was seized by baboons while he was serving in the British Army at Pondoland, South Africa.
 The boy was being wheeled about in a perambulator by a na- tive girl when several score of balloons swooped down upon field, where corn was ripening. The girl became frightened and fled.
 Soldiers drove off the animals and found the perambulator empty. The body of a young baboon lay alongside the carriage.
 Well, 1t was not until f our years later," he said, that we got any inkling of his Whereabouts.'
 About a days march from camp" he said, "a sergeant came running up and told us he had discovered a hairless baboon. We followed him to the base of cliff and there before us was the body of big, husky boy. His skull was cracked and bleeding.
 "The scouting party had found him among a family of baboons. The beasts. seeing the approach of the party, tried to scamper up the cliff. Most of them escaped but the boy. not as agile as the beasts, slipped and fell to the bot tom.
 '"The boy was more ferociouS than the baboons. He jabbered in their language and was as wild as anv ano n

 "Okay, sister," said the fat man. How long you been workin' here"
 "Oh, I'm here since 1930," said Angelina, except for month during alterations after fire boined us out" Eddie could scarcely believe his ears. Gone were the soft accents. the low tones. the slow drawl which had appealed

 And does his work the best he can, Who keeps awake till the day is done,
 Who minds his business and gossipers shun, But tell me- fellows, who in heck,
 Can drive in peace near the female sex! For they go left, or right you see,
 Back or forth, for the road is free, Out goes hand, turn they take,
