POULTRY DEALERS
 CHECKED BY STATE
Bridgeport Man Fined $1OO for Failing to Ob=
 tain l938 License

Hartford April 27-Poultry dealers are again warned by Commissioner of Agriculture Olcott F. King that if they expect to buy, sell or trans port live poultry for meat purposes they must secure license. The 1887 licenses expired the last day of De- cember and while most dealers have renewed their licenses, the commits sioner finds that few are inclined to ignore this statute which was adopted in 1885.
 The first prosecution under this law governing the shipment of live poultry occurred on April q when Lawrence w. Snow of 1918 State street, Bridgeport was fined $100 and costs. Pleading illness as the cause for not renewing the. 1887 license result in $95 of the fine being re- mitted upon the recommendation of the prosecutor. The arrest and prosecution was handled by the State Police and the Bridgeport Po- lice Court.
 One of the provisions of the law makes it possible for the Commis- sioner of Agriculture to suspend or withhold licenses from poultry deal CTS where concrete evidence is shown that they are defrauding by short weighing, paying by worthless checks or any other method of dishonest dealing with poultry owners. Con- missioner King states that before Snow can secure a 1888 license to conduct live poultry business he will have to settle accounts involv- ing several hundred dollars.

HORSE TALK
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Now let us be candid, And with no feeling of remorse Eschew heavier topics for bit And concentrate on ones faVorlte horse Of course it's most important To figure on priming the pump But as magnolia leaves are falling We just must take the stump But not to talk of armaments, Foreign imbroglios in their course But just what three year old Will be your favorite horse Granted that the ladies are wearing Hats that look sort of silly, Whats occupying us right now How runs our favorite Ally? So for the nonce we must forego (And can't say we feel remorse}, The very seamy side of life And concentrate on our favorite horse.

SLUMP IN BERLIN
BOERSE CONTINUES
Jews Dump Holdings to Get
Funds-Potential Buyers
Appear Disinterested.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Aug. 10.-A slump on the
Berlin Boerse which began Monday
continued today.
More shares were dumped on the
market, chiefly by Jews in the process
of liquidating their holdings, but
potential purchasers did not seem
anxious to buy.
The Berliner Boersenzeitung said the
international situation. particularly as
affected by the conflict in the Far East
and the situation in Czechoslovakia,
accounted for the slump.
Compared with April 1. when the
policy of credit expansion ended. the
following losses are typical:
General Electric, Is per cent;
Schuckert. 81; siemens. %; I. G.
Farben, IA; Rhenist Steel Works, 20;
United Steel Works. Is; Daimler, o.;
Bavarian Motor works, 20; Rhein-
metallborsig, 81, and German Oil, IS.
Dienst Aug Deutschland, an infor-
nation service, denied the slump in
dicated something might be wrong
with German business.
It pointed out that bonds and gov
ernment loans retained their levels
and that only stocks were bearish.
Zone might even possibly opine," 1t
said, that German economy at the
present time has no interest in arti-
fically supporting stocks which have
been in Jewish hands and which now
are offered in large blocks"
