STRONGER FRANC
HAILED IN LONDON
GiIt-Edged British Issues
Gain Further-Other
Sections Steady.
By LEONARD ]. REID.

by LEONAhD j. nClD.
BY Wireless to The Star.
LONDON, May TN week which
was notable for dramatic developments
in the French currency situation and
spectacular events in Rome, the Lon
don securities market remained cool
headed.
The recovery in gilt-edged issues,
which occurred after the first shock
Of the increase in the income tax, con-
tinued unchecked by the issue Of q
100000 loan by the Australian gov
ernment and was halted only on
Thursday due to some selling by
British holders anticipating possible
French liquidation.
Other sections were fairly steady
throughout the week, although the
gold mining shares were unsettled by
Wednesdays unfounded rumors from
the continent that stabilization Of the
franc would be accompanied by fresh
devaluation Of all principal currencies,
including sterling and the dollar.
Action Is Welcomed.
Premier Daladier,s decision. after
consultation with the British and
American treasures, to peg the franc
was generally welcomed as evidence
that genuine currency defense
scheme has now been evolved. The
rate Of ITO francs to the pound is
higher than was expected, but obW-
ously was fixed as an effective safe
guard for the franc against attack.
The immediate result was q rapid
liquidation of speculative commitments
and strong recovery In prices on the
Paris Bourse. but it is impossible as
vet to gauge the extent of repatriation
Of French refugee funds. However. the
fact that the franc is definitely under
valued at 179 offers tempting bait for
French investors to take home the
large sums sent to London and other
centers.
The volume Of repatriation will de-
pend on the extent Of improvement
IN French internal economy resulting
from Daladier's program After
trial period at the present figure actual
stabilization at a lower rate is cx-
pected, with the new gold content for
the franc giving the government q
substantial profit through revaluation
Of the gold reserves.
Gold Turnover Heavy.
The big turnover on the London
gold market the past week was due, On
the one hand, to sales by holders de-
sirous Of buying francs, and, on the
other hand, to purchases resulting
from weakness in other continental
currehcies, notably the belga, which
was under the shadow Of devaluation
fears. There ID no reason to antici-
pate that either Switzerland or Hol-

U TO
ELIMINATE SALT WASTE

G1AlNAAfNTaAL SALI
Portable canvas troughs are
suggested by Frank Barnum,
Rosebud county extension agent,
as a means of reducing the
summer salt bill when sheep are
taken to the mountains for
grazing.
Barnum points out that be-
cause the sheep must be
moved to a different bed ground
every night, permanent or sta
tionery salt through cannot be
used and the salt Is ordinarily
spread on the ground where
much of it is lost in the soft
dirt.
To eliminate this waste, port
able canvas troughS can be
made by riviting or sewing a
piece of one and one-half inch
rope along both edges of a strip
OF heavy canvas. A strip Of
canvas IA to 10 inches wide,
with a piece of top rivited into
a hem on each edge to form the
sides will make a trough of the
desired width. The troughs may
be any length desired, but
lengths from six to eight feet
have been found most conven-
lent. Each band of sheep should
be supplied with about four
troughs of this length.
Another advantage of these
troughS, Barnum says, is that
their use prevents the killing
out of grass as is the case where
salt is spread on the ground.
