Danses Slaves ct Tziganes.
DR.. Hans Kinder, conductor
and founder of the National
Symphony, seemed to us to be
out of place last night, so used
are we to seeing him with a
baton in his hand. Instead, he
was following every movement
from his box seat. He was with
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Bruce
Howe and Mrs. Tracy Dows, the
latter wearing a short ermlne
cape over her shoulders.
Nine. Pastoriza, wife of the
Minister of the Dominican Re
public, was in a black gown, in
effective contrast to her lovely
white hair which is always so
beautifully coiffed. The Secre-
tary of the Italian Embassy and
Countess Roberti with another
couple made up a foursome who
seemed to be thoroughly enjoy
ing the ballet numbers.

Declines Feature

Hogs Lose Sharply; Cattle
Yield Csc in Extremes ;
Lambs Also Tumble.

South st. Paul, Mimi, April 49,
1888: After showing surprising re-
sistance toward efforts of the buy
ing side to enforce lower price levels
the slaughter cattle market finally
yielded on Tuesday when receipts
around the market circle proved bur-
densome, according to the Federal
State Market News Service. The
decline locally measured Csc in ex-
tremes, this being applied to steers,
which measured steady to Csc lower
HeiferS and cows were steady to
weak, the latter class still being close
to the seasons high time. Weakness
was apparent in the markets for both
vealers and bulls. Medium to good
steers and yearlings turned generally
at $3.50 to $3.50, with upward to
1925 paid for choice mediumweight
steers. Best heifers available cashed
at $8.75. Strictly good fat cows
brought $500, with beef cows largely
$5.75 to $6.75. Cutter grades had
a range of $3.50 to $5.25, although
strongweight cutters reached $3.50
A fair demand was in evidence for
stocker cattle at steady prices. Ac-
tivity in the dairy COW trade found
medium to good springer cows $4,000
to $4,000, and some outstanding close
springers with weight above the out
side figure.

with the close of last week hogs are

Slaughter lambs sold around Csc

adopt the same viewpoint; it also
respects the Italian view that Italian
volunteers now taking part in the
Spanish civil war need not be re-
called until the war is over; the treaty,
further, gives Italy emphatic privi-
leges in the Mediterranean.
In return, Great Britain obtains an
Italian promise that the British SOW
ereignty over Arabic nations along the
Red Sea will be recognized; the Ital-
ian garrisons in Libya-adjoining
British-controlled Egypt-will be re-
duced, and the frontiers between Ethi-
opia and some of the British colonies
in Africa will be adjusted. That's
practically all that Great Britain gets
out of the agreement. The important
thing about it is that Mussolini gets
what he wants, namely, recognition
of Ethiopia as an Italian colony, and
British consent to the continued pres
ence of Italian soldiers in the armies
of General Franco.

ToCet ANulmber
Social Security Registra-
ton i'm u. S. and Posses.
siOns Over 38 Million.

Eleven thousand and forty-three
Minnesotans were issued social secur-
ity account numbers during March
by the five Minnesota offices of the
Social Security Board, according to
an announcement made by Palmer
Elder, in charge of the Duluth office
"These numbers were issued to
persons who are getting jobs in COM
mercial or industrial work for the
first time, to workers who are over
IS and who need the numbers under
the state unemployment compensa-
ton law, and to wage earners who
have previously neglected to secure
account numbers" Elder said.
The total number of account num-
bers issued in Minnesota at the end
of March was 651, 345.
Social security account numbers
assigned throughout the United States
Hawaii, and Alaska totaled 38,237,-
877 at the close of business on
March 81.
Mr.. Elder urged all persons who
are temporarily or permanently en-
ployed in commerce and industry and
who have not secured account num-
bers to obtain them at once by calling
at or writing board offices in Duluth,
Minneapolis, st. Paul, st. Cloud and
Albert Lea. Persons who are over
IS and who are working in COM
mercial or industrial trades must also
have account numbers for use in con-
nection with the state unemployment
compensation law. He also empha-
sized that a wage Garner should not
have more than one number.

Good Response
To Air Mail Week

A communication received today
from Postmaster John A. Coan, and
his associates on the State commit
tee for the observance of National
Air Mail week, May Is to 81, states
that they have received most encour-
aging assurances from all over the
state in the short time since they
began forming the Minnesota organ
ization, that many men and women,
leaders in varied activities, clubs, as
sociations and schools will cooperate
intellectually to the end that the
Air Mail Week observance will be
notable success and powerful
stimulus for further national devel-
opment in this service and science
of aviation.
The purpose of National Air Mail
week is to intensity the American
peoples consciousness of aviation and
the air mail, but the more immediate
detectives of this far-flung and Wig
orous movement, which has the full
support of the Post Office Depart
ment, are at one patriotic and prac-
teal. AS announced by the National
Headquarters, these detectives are:
To commemorate the goth anniver-
sary of the inauguration of the air
mail service that was started by the
Post Office Department May Is, 1918;
to educate the citizens in the use of
air mail, showing its progress, de-
pendability, safety and value, and,
to increase the use of air mail to
the end that through increased rev.
enues, still further expansion of this
now essential service will be made
possible.

Wait For Grass To
Grow Is Advised

If the pasture is shorter than four
inches, it is too early to turn the
cows into it, cautions ]. B. Fitch,
chief in dairy husbandry, University
Farm, in revised Bulletin 218, Feed
ing the Dairy Herd" Grass can grow
only by having leaves in the SUM-
shine, and if these are eaten off close
in early spring, the root systems of
plants will be shallow and grazing
poor all summer.
Rotational grazing by dividing the
pasture and using one area at time
is successfully carried out on some
farms. BY this plan, one area can
be pastured down uniformly before
another is used. Thus the quality
of the grass may be improved and a
greater yield obtained, says Fitch.
