May Street Dump

The board in an important de- cision agreed to instruct the DOT. ough attorney to notify owners ol property near the May street dump that dumping of anything except dirt. ashes and tin cans VIII be prohibited there, and to notiiy the borough health officer or un- sanitary conditions there and the fire marshal of the action.
 To Repair Wall
 The board decided to repair the old dry wall on the Arbusto prop erty near the new retaining wall erected recently there. This old wall is crumbling away now. lt was decided to install curb anu gutters at the Pompano property on High street Mrs Pompano to be assessed for the work. Her driveway will also be repaired.
 Warden Sheridan on the request of Burgess Burkus, said he would ask Street Supt James Brophy for quick action on cleaning up the sewer at the corner of Grown and Brennan streets. The water there is not absorbed when it rains and children get their feet wet coming from school, Burgess Burkus said. The warden explained MT Brophy has completed plans for work there and results are expected shortly. Burgess Burkus also asked that Diamond street be cleaned up and sewers there be repaired. In response to a request from Burgess Noble concerning work on the Arch street culvert, the warden said progress has been made and 1t has been decided tY use pipe and not curbing there to correct the condition.
 Stree Light Dispute
 Warden sheridan suggested q street light be placed at the in- tersection of Park avenue exten- sion and Walnut terrace, saying he had investigated the condition there personally on two diffedent occasions and found a light badly needed.
 Burgess Burkus moved the street light committee investigate the matter. The warden said he thought all members of the board knew the condition there. Burgess Dinneny, street light committee chairman, agreed 1t was bad one, and Burgess Zwick said he thought q light should be erected there.
 MT Burkus then pointed gut the matter of a street light on School street was still not acted on al- though the committee should have investigated it some time ago, he said. MT Dinneny said he had been too busy on the garbage contract investigation. MT Burkus explained he was not against installing the Walnut terrace light, but thought the usual procedure of referring It to the street light committee should be observed. Why appoint such a committe if you are going to act. otherwise" he said.
 Burgess Anthony Tangredi said other places need lights too. MT Zwick brought matters to a head by amending MT Burkus mo- ton to the effect that the lights be installed. The amendment was act ed on first and passed. MT Sheri- dan pointed out the Walnut tur' race section was new develop ment. Later Burgess Brophy said the committee recommended a Il, ht be installed on Fairchtld street near the property of Mrs Myers and one on German street

Joseph Nardello represented the Italians.
 F It was decided to renew the junk dealers license of Alec Rinkus sub- ject to the approval of Chief of Police Adamson. Rinkus has de- posted the $10 required.
 The warden was authorized to enter into necessary agreements with the highway commissioner of the state to secure the towns pOr- tion of the town aid funds avail able from the state for roads. It is expected to amount to $17,750. The warden was instructed to con- suit with the street superintendent concerning cooperation of the street department in the Clean-Up Week sponsored by the Chamber of Com merce in the borough.
 The board voted to grade Hoad- ley street from Millville avenue to the intersection of Highland ave nue. On the suggestion of Burge ss Leo Brophy, it was decided to have the warden propose to the FERA that the road at the intersection of Scott and Melbourne streets where a recent cave-in occurred, be widened.
 It was decided to have the bor- rough engineer draw up plans ana profiles toward extension of a san itary sewer south on Gormaf street from 169 GoEman street about 1000 feet to Spencer street Complaint about conditions there has been received.
 The property of J. William Mc- Dermott on Orchard s-feet was damaged to the extent of $3l anu that of Mrs Katherine Tanner 10 the extent of $60 by recent stop page of a sewer nearby there. It was decided to pay these claims and to have the borough engineer construct another inlet to prevent repetition of the trouble.

Swastika Formerly
Emblem of League

BELGRADE R.-The swastikA,

League of Nations. it was recalled by

The Wilma Commission, crossing
battle lines in Poland and Lithuania
in 1920. when there was brisk fighting
for possession of an extensive terri
tory, suddenly found itself in need Of
flag, and invented one on the spur
Of the moment, Dr. LaSich said.
Our commission selected q red
swastika as its emblem" he recalled.
The swastika was placed in Q white
circle in the upper left-hand corner
Of a blue nag.
The combatants recognized the
swaStika as the insignia Of q neutral
force which was trying to be helpful.
The nag served from 1920 to 1922,

Sweden Fears Steady
Decline i'm Birth Rate

STOCKHOLM R.-The question
whether Sweden. which once sent
thousands of immigrants to the United
States. may in time have to import
labor because Of depopulation. is being
raised by students Of the situation.
A declining birth rate, with a shift
ing Of the population into older age
brackets, may diminish Sweden's pres
ent population of 6,268, 900 by no less
than 1.151,000 by 1890, according to
an estimate by the social ministry.
The actual decline Is expected to
pegin in 1850. when the population
should reach a maximum of 6,34o, 900
before pointing downward.
Recognition of this problem has
become widespread in Sweden. largely
through the studies and writings Of
Prof. Gunnar Myrdal, who has pointed
out that 40 per cent more children
must be born yearly in Sweden II
the population is to be held steady
over a long period.
Solution of the problem. In Prof.
Myrdal'S opinion, is to come, not
through hue and cry and government
bonuses for marriage, but through
measures that will diminish the extra
cost attendant upon having children"

been in the ring. They were used
solely to fatigue the bull. The Spani-
ards, however, have reformed this, the
weakest, phase of their national sport
within recent years by padding the
horses so carefully that the bull can
not gore them.
Riders Wear Armor.
However, In the six fights in this
division four horses and their riders
were knocked over and one rider was
thrown over the fence around the ring.
These riders, incidentally, wear armor
under their fancy breeches as q pro-
lection against the horns Of the bull.
Their task is hazardous, but without
glory.
The public has virtually eliminated
this trick of wearing the bull out by
around. 1t has done this by whistling
for the trumpet that signals the man
to-bull finish fight. That is really
something to watch. The bull
fighters, of course. because Of the tre-
mendous risk, wish to have the bull
as tired as possible when they meet
him with their slender swords. The
public, quite ruthless in demanding
risks of its hero, urges him on to dis
miss the old horses and the cape
waving assistants, and to settle down
to showing his own skill and nerve.

which the fighter uses his red rag"
"a piece of silk or light cotton about
3 by feet, generally folded over the
sword to control the bull. I believe.
however, that it is as much for the
spectators as for the bull. He un-
questionably relies partly on 1t, but it
seemed to me that he guided the
bull more by q certain rhythmic mo-
ton IN his own gold-clad person.
There Is a defiance and swing about
him as he goes forward that enrages
the bull and brings him down on
him. Indeed, his motions are so self
assertive that, once he has fallen into
that stride, the people will boo him
down If he shows the slightest tend
ency to give ground. 1t is this dis
dain Of the bull and of the people who
watch him that fascinate the OBJ
servers. Intoxicated by their ap-
plauSe, the nghter brings the Dull
closer and closer to his body. allowing
his horns to miss him only by inches.
Booed II He Misses.
Finally. standing on tiptoe squarely
in front of the bull. he waits for the
head-on charge. Then. still poised
in front of his powerful adversary
and having thrown away his cape, hat
and everything but his sword, he
swoops down like hawk on his prey,
seeming from toe to sword tip to be
all of one piece, without joints or
suppleness, and simply a human
thunderbolt.
If his eye is absolutely right. he
wins then, and Is acclaimed. If he Is
shaky, he misses and Is booed. II
he is too far from top form, he may
lose his life.

US to buy more and more abroad. but
in this case 1t means the death Of an
old and admirably run American in
dustry, one Of those on which our
national prosperity was founded, one
in which countless citizens are finan-
cially interested. And yet, to stop this
importation means q long step toward
that nationalism which is wrecking
the world.
It would be easy TO point TO the
false philosophy Of all this, the trag-
edy of teaching that prosperity goes
along with scarcity, that buying power
can be increased proportionately as
the volume Of goods to be purchased
diminishes. Many Of us tried TO ex-
pose the hollowness of this philosophy
two years ago, and nobody listened.
Now all we can do Is to point to the
results, as I have tried to do in the
case Of cotton; to try to bring out
that this is the inevitable result where
similar theories are applied to any
industry.
Perhaps 1t is too late to help the
cotton industry. King Cotton is de-
throned and lies In the dust. II is not
too late 10 warn the Nation against
any extension Of this utterly destruc-

BY RANDOLPH LEIGH.

n n ADRID-On the fifth ami
mn versary of the establishment
V Of the republic. April IA, I
4 ' L went to a bullfight. Nearly
everybody else In Spain did
the same thing.
Naturally, I went with the usual
Anglo-Saxon prejudice against a
strange and particularly sanguinary
sport. I expected to see what would
be, from our point of view, a rather
unsportsmanlike butchering of a
wearied best, but I felt that I owed it
to my public Of any to go. Anyhow
that furnished an excellent excuse.
What I saw was an exciting spec
tacle, full of genuine hazard for man
as well as beast, and neither more nor
less brutal than our prizeflghts. Un-
doubtedly. 1t was far above the average
in the skill and artistry Of the fighters,
the power of the bulls and the quality
Of the horses 1t was, in fact. one Of
the three great affairs of the year.
The President Of Spain, Of course,
occupied the box Of honor. In the
Carmenlike parade which preceded
the fighting beautiful women circled
the arena in carriages, with richly
outfitted horses and attendants. Sud-
denly tt bands stopped, the soft.
silken folk vanished, trumpets sounded
and then, before 10000 absolutely
silent spectators, an immense black
bull, with horns yard wide, rushed
into the ring.
Something New In Fights.
Across the arena a door opened and
into the sunlight came magnificent
gray Arabian charger, bearing a man
in black velvet, unattended, holding
in his hand tiny spear, hardly
larger than an ordinary walking stick.
Here was something new (my Spanish
friend told mel in Spanish ring-a
fight between a bull and mounted
man, without aid of capes. preliminary
fatiguing attacks on the bull or other
similar devices.
The horse was very swift and nerv-
GUS. but also very brave. The point
of the whole thing, of course, was for
horse and rider to outwit and outmove
the bull. The bull would paw and
snort, the horseman, meanwhile. fac
ing him and holding his mettlesome
mount in one place until the bull
made his charge, whereupon the rider
would dash straight toward him.
When it seemed that head-on colli-
sion was inevitable, the rider would
miraculously swing his horse TO the
right side of the bull, and, missing his
right horn by inches, would strike
down at him.
Perfect horsemanship and a won
derfully trained horse are essential
under such circumstances. 1t re-
minded me Of tense moment In polo,
with this difference, that If this rider
got down he probably would never get
up. He was showing no mercy, but
he could not expect any, either.
Two bulls were disposed Of in this
unorthodox, new kind of fighting be-
fore the classical Spanish sport began.
It was quite q let-down to see the
horses used In this second stage OF the

ents could have been reminded that
the question Of possible reductions of
customs duties had already been dis
cussed and temporarily settled at the
Montevideo Conference, where Secre-
tary Hull's comprehensive proposal for
bilsteral and multilateral treaties was
unanimously approved.
The outstanding provisions of this
proposal-that the governments OF
the American republics undertake to
reduce high-tariff barriers through
the negotiation of bilateral reciproc-
ity treaties based upon mutual con-
cessions; that they subscribe to the
policy and undertaking of gradually
reducing tariff and other barriers to
mutually profitable movements OF
goods, services and capital between
nations; that they declare, moreover,
that their aim is substantial reduc-
tions of basic trade barriers and lib

they were promised higher price for
their reduced crops and also a bounty
on the lands withdrawn from cotton

the farmers agreed.
Then the dollar was devalued. Two
ideas were involved in this: Domestic

as cotton vas concerned. the price did
go up, not because Of the dollar deval-
uation, bu3 because of restriction Of
Government purchases of surplus and
because of Government loans on cot
ton made at an entirely fictitious val
uation. The cotton growers sold at
higher prices and therefore the ten
dency was to give up the bonus on
unused land and raise more.
This inevitably made restriction

The Presidents Special Cabinet
Committee appointed to study the
cotton textile situation began its work
today in the office of Secretary Roper.
The four Secretaries, Hull, Wallace,
Roper and Perkins, in lengthy dis
cussion mapped out steps to be taken
by experts in the various departments.
The studies are to be made with two
objectives- of the emergency
confronting the industry and the
long term rehabilitation for which the
President hopes.
Among the questions to be studied
are the effect of japanese imports on
the domestic situation, the actual part
the cotton processing tax has played
in the present distress of the industry
and whether some other means of
providing benefit to cotton farmers
might be effective and less injurious
to the industry: the problem Of
North-South wage differentisls and
the degree of obsolescent of
machinery.
Consideration will be given also to
the dQVlSdDllty Ol pIOVlQIlS CTeull
for retirement Of obsolete equipment.
