Britain Indicates
Desire For Barter
Agreement OF u. s
Cotton a nd Wheat
Would Be Snapped to
England for Rubber
and Tin Without Pass
ing of Money; Nego-
tiations Expected To
Begin

Washington, May 4.-(AP)
Senator Byrns, Democrat
South Carolina, said today that
London had advised the United
States that Great Britain was
interested in negotiating bar
ter agreement for American cot
ton. Byrns recently outlined a
plan by which this country
would barter surplus cotton for
rubber and tin held by Great
Britain and other countries.
Preliminary negotiations have
been under way in London.
Byrnes told reporters today that
the barter proposal was meeting a
favorable reception in London"
''The first effort was to see Wheth-
er Great Britain would be interested
in the barter proposal" Byrnes said.
II think it is justified to say that
Great Britain has expressed an in
terest in the plan and in negotiating
an agreement"
Today's information, Byrnes said,
was the first definite word that
Great Britain was interested in the
barter deal. Previously, he said, it
was merely known that talks regard
ing the proposal were under way.
Thus far, Byrnes said, the Lon
don conservations have conferred on
the possibility of trading American
cotton for British rubber He said tin
might enter the discussions later.
The senator said information COM
ing to him was that no decision had
been reached on how much cotton
might be involved.

nately our modern up-to-date expert
mental food kitchens are constantly
developing for all of us large num-
Der of brand new-good-to-eat, hot or
cold, bread recipes of the broadest
possible variety.
The making of yeast breads the
modern simplifed way is certainly
a far cry from some of the difficult
ties that our grandmothers or even
our mothers may have experienced
when they made it regularly-years
ago.
In the first place, yeast is now
readily obtainable both in moist or
dry form. Furthermore we now
know that we can help to regulate
the rapidity with which the whole
bread-making process can proceed
by adding more or less yeast-more
if we want to hurry the rising-less
if there is no particular reason for
speed.
Then too, we have learned to
watch the temperature of the dough

Auturnn's laugh pealed out deli

He moved to the couch that faced
the fireplace, seated himself, and
clasped his hands between his knees.
Autumn turned and looked down
upon him, and wave of swift pity
for him swept over her, obliterating
for a moment the bewilderment and
dismay that were growing upon her
at the strangeness of his reception.
Time, the merciless invader, was
storming the fine citadel of that gal
