South America Places
Large Orders for
u. 5. Products
Coal and Steel Lead
Rise as War Bors
Other Sources

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-The Wall
Street Journal said today that the
European war already had caused
an increase in South Americas trade
with the United States.
The newspaper in a survey of
banking interests found that bank
ers now are arranging credits for a
number of United States exports OF
products formerly sold In quantity
to South American countries by the
nations of Europe.
"A wek ago. said the Wall Street
Journal, this demand was almost
entirely in the inquiry stage. 1t now
has developed to point where or
ders are being placed"
The bankers said the heaviest
stream of inquiries and orders were
coming from Argentina, Brazil, Co.
lombia, Venezuela and Peru and that
coal and steel were the products
mainly desired.
Also, bankers disclosed, they were
receiving an increasing number of
calls for credit facilities to permit
the importation Of additional prod
ucts from South America. II the
United States buys greater quanti-
ties of goods from the Latin Ameri-
can nations, it was pointed out,
those countries will be able to buy
an increasing volume of United
States goods.
In the last few years inter-Ameri-
can trade has suffered from the fact
that the Latin American nations
had insufficient dollar exchange"
to pay for United States goods. The
United States Government has at
tempted to facilitate trade by ar
ranging credits through the Export
Import Bank of Washington, but
has been confronted with the diff
Guilty that Germany in particular
was entering the South American
market actively on barter basis.
One banking interest was reported
working on sufficient volume of
Latin American business orders to
require charter of ships, since the
war has disrupted much of the nor
NAL shipping.

Sharply in Week
BY the Associated PresS.


NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-With sea-
sonal influences making for expan-
sion, the past weeks retail trade
was estimated 6 to IA per cent
larger than in the corresponding
period last year, the Dun q Brad
street weekly review said today.
Sales increases were featured" !"
the review reported, "by a heavy
demand for apparel and accessories,
lines which had been hit hardest by
the record heat wave in some sec
tions in the previous week.
Reports from wholesale markets
indicated that although the forward
buying wave had passed its peak
order volume remained substantially
above last year. Most lines con-
tinued to have the appearance of a
sellers market.
I'm many instances wholesalers
were refusing bookings at present
prices for shipment more than two
or three weeks in the future. De-
liveries became more of a problem
as mill backlogs grew and distrib-
utors found difficulties in obtaining
merchandise within the specified
period"

Isn't This Why
You Are Constipated?

What do you eat for breakfast?
Coffee, toast, maybe some eggs?
What do you eat for lunch and
dinner? White bread, meat, pota-
toes? It's little 1Donder you're con-
Stipated. You probably don't eat
enough "bulk." And bulk"
doesn't mean the amount you
eat. It's kind of food that forms
a soft bulky mass in the intes-
tines and helps a movement. II
this Is your trouble, may we sug-
gest a crunchy toasted cereal
Kellogg's AH-Bran-for breakfast.
All-Bran is natural food, not a
medicine - but it's particularly
rich in bulk" Being so, it can
help you not only to get regular
but to keep regular. You won't
have to endure constipation, you
can dUoid it. Eat All-Bran daily,
drink plenty of water, and life
will be brighter for you! Made by

Queries About War
Answered Readily
By Mrs. Roosevelt
Many Questions Follow
Lecture Before ), 500
In Newark
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEWARK, N. j., Nov. 14.-They
fired a steady stream of questions,
left and right, at Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt last night and she met
them all with replies as ready as her
smile.
Nearing conclusion of her lecture
tour, Mrs. Roosevelt finished her
prepared talk to an audience of
$500 at the Essex County Town Hall
Forum and then the chairman
asked if there were any questions.
There were:
"Do you believe a change of ad-
ministration at this time would af-
feet the possibility of retaining
peace in American" was the closest
any one came to the third-term
issue.
mo. I don't" Mrs. Roosevelt an
swered Il believe any administra-
ton would do its best to keep this
country at peace"
Querried on Peace Move.
When should the United States
act as intermediary for peace? was
another query.
AT any time it looks as though
the United States could act effec-
lively; when a real desire for peace
Is shown"
Under what conditions should the
United States joint the allies?
This brought an instant Il don't
know" from Mrs. Roosevelt. Il be-
ieve that is something up to the
people of the United States to de-
eide"
Must "capitalistic influences" be
eliminated before an enduring peace
can be established?
Mrs. Roosevelt was smiling broadly
now.
Il don't think so. However, it is
the duty of capital to show its
proper interest in the people"
Gives Ship Transfer Views.
What were Mrs. Roosevelt's views
on the transfer of United States
ship registrations to that of other
nations?
1T somehow goes against the
grain to see the seamen of this
country being forgotten by shippers
who are more interested in making
money. An attempt should be
made first to place ships on other
American routes so American sea-
men could keep their jobs"
To the question of a referendum
on war. Mrs. Roosevelt said she was
opposed because it was clumsy"
Rearmament: Mrs. Roosevel
would rather the money were used
to better advantage but mo one ma
ton can let down in the arms race.
