Labor Unrest Growing

Striking streetcar workers on two

The chaos is evident on the food
market, where meat, milk and po-

U. S. MAY PROPOSE
BILLIONS LOAN

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-tP-
The United States probably will
propose to make substantial con-
cessions in its basic foreign loan
policy in order to meet British
requests for financial aid on
grand scale.
This was strongly indiiated to.
day by officials familiar with
Anglo-A1nerican economic negotia-
tons. They view the loan problem
as the heart of future trade rela-
tons between the worlds two
greatest commercial powers.
At the moment official opinion
favors recommending to Congress
a $1,000. 0o0,0 900 loan with a very
low rate Of interest and no rest
rictions on where the money could
be spent.
This is about $1,000, ooo, 900 more
than the minimum which the
British have discussed. (their
maximum figure has been about
5000, 900, 000.) 1t also is some 49,.
600, 900, 900 more than American
negotiators had in mind a few
weeks ago. The purpose in raising
, the estimate, which is still tenta-
tive, is to try 10 place the Britt sh
in a financial position so sound
that their credit with other nations
will be. strengthened. The theory
is that with more American credit
they may actually have to use less
of the American money than might
be necessary if they got sum that
offered no margin over their bare
necessities.
The concessions in the loan
policy may result in sharp distinc-
tons between what the British get
and what the French and Russians,
Tor example, get from the United
States.
The French want at least 81, O00,-
100000 over the next three years
or SO and the Russians over their
period Of reconstruction would like
to obtain $4,000 900. 900 from this
country. Present official thought
runs to the idea Of charging the
French and Russians reasonable
interest on the money they obtain
here and restricting the funds ex-
penditure in this country.

In Japan there is only one army,

there would have been Russian,

we should then have had the same
complicated task of multiple ad-

Allies have in Germany.
There would be no point what

NOW THEY KNOW HOW THE
FARMER FEELS

Consumers who recently had the
coupons in their food ration books
summarily invalidated, can appreci-
ate the problem that faces the farm
er under 81 varieties of regulations
and restrictions.
Ordinarily the farmer plans pro-
duction schedules years in advance.
Investments in crops are made on the
basis of probable prices at harvest
time. Long experience with tie laws
of supply and demand teach the far
mer what he must grow if he is to
saty out of bankruptcy AT least that
is the way the farmer operated before
the age of regulation and subsidies
descended upon him. Now, like the
consumer, he knows not what to ex-
pect next. A government directive
may cut his acreage, reduce prices
when his crop is. ready to harvest or
put him out of business.

Attend 70 Purses

Good purses are costly so the care
Of the old ones Is important and SIM
pie. The clothing specialists Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture suggest that fabric bags can
be cleaned with dry-cleaning fluid.
Such fluids must not be used on
leather because 1t removes the nat
ural oils and the leather cracks.
Shiny spots on suede can often be
removed by rubbing them with a
very fine sandpaper. Scratched or
worn corners on leather can be re-
touched with matching shoe dyes or
India ink. Colored shoe cream or a
wax polish will hide water spots and
other stains on leather. Silver polish
will shine metal trimming or remove
gold plating that has started to wear.
Clear nail polish will keep the metal
finish bright. Outside stitching on
leather or fabric purses can be re-
paired by ripping the seam and turn
ing a deeper seam and restricting,
this usually must be done by hand.
If the upper stop is broken at the
bottom and the slide has pulled off
the teeth can be held together
and the slide slipped on again. A
leather bag that has become limp
can be fixed by replacing the card
board between the lining and the
leather.

Fowl Typhoid

Fowl typhoid, a poultry disease
known to be caused by a germ,
was generally associated with un-
sanitary conditions but now the dis.
ease is occurring in the best man.
aged flocks. There is no known treat
ment for the disease but it is thought
that it is related to inadequate nutri-
ton.
Research men believe that lack
of yellow corn in the grain mixture
may result in a vitamin A deficiency
and that this deficiency may result
in the birds becoming more suscepti-
BILE to the fowl typhoid disease. It is
believed that the use of white corn
rather than yellow corn in the
grain mixtures and mashes has
helped to bring about the increase
in fowl typhoid. The feeding pro-
gram in many cases has not been as
good as formerly and this has prob
ably caused the birds to be more
susceptible to the disease.

Expert Outlines Simple
Method of Fur Glazing

Glazing a fur coat, which gives it
nice gloss and an appearance of
newness, can be done at home by
fairly simple methods, says Man
Reilly, of the textiles and clothing
department of Michigan State col
lege.
Use plain water or secure Chinese
Wood from a furriers' supply house.
Soak the wood in water for several
days. Using clean comb and a
large brush, comb and brush the
garment with the flow of the hair.
Continue until fur is thoroughly wet.
With a smooth wooden stick, push
the fur backward against the flow
of the hair. Then, using dry brush,
smooth the fur down.
Finally, apply warm iron with
the flow of the hair The iron can be
used directly on the hair, but it is
safer to place piece of oiled pa
per or a newspaper between the
warm iron and the fur. If waxed
paper is used, care must be taken
that the fur doesn't become sticky
or waxy. Flat-haired furs, those that
have MORE patterns in the curl,
and those with dyes that run or rub
off, should not be ironed.

PLANNING VICTORY GARDENS

Every victory garden of 1916
ought to be fitted individually to the
family 1t is going to feed and to the
space available for gardening. In
planning the garden this year every
gardener will do well, says Victory
Garden headquarters at the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, II he looks
back over the experience of the last
year or two and plans to meet more
nearly than ever the appetites and
food preferences of his own family.
If any crop went to waste last year
because Tie family did not care for
the product, it is good gardening
either to omit it entirely in this
years plan or to cut it down to what
the family will clean up. Use the
space saved to grow something that
is in demand
AS suggestions for planning, Vic
tory Gardeners have the results of a
sampling survey of the gardens of
1914 as reported by the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics. 1t tells what
otker gardeners liked well enough to
both farm gardens and nonfarm gar
dens. Over all, there were a good
many more kinds of vegetables grown
in farm gardens than in town and
city gardens. This was, in part, be-
cause the farm gardens averaged
larger, had more space for vegetables
and could grow considerable num-
Der of the crops that were less prac-
tical in small gardens.
The outstanding favorite vegetable
by long odds was the tomato, grown
in about 10 out of every 20 gardens
in town and country. Half dozen
crops that take considerable space
potatoes, squash, melons, cabbage,
sweet potatoes, cabbage, and cucum-
bers-were favvorites generally, but
a muck larger percentage of farm
gardeners grew these crops-because
they had space for them.
Onions, radishes and lettuce were
prime favorites everywhere. Snap
beans, wax beans, beets, carrots and
peppers were general favorites and
as in the country. Cabbage grew in
nearly half the town gardens and in
four out of five farm gardens. Lima
beans and green peas were popular
in town, but far more SO in the coun-
try where there was more space for
them. These high points of the survey
are guide signs for 1916.

Moderate Climate

Despite the northern. latitude,
Finland's climate is moderate.
Coastal waters temper extremes.
Winter rules about four months in
the south; seven months in the
north. Average winter temperatures
range from Is degrees Fahrenheit
in the south to IL degrees in the
north. Regional summer averages
are SO degrees and So degrees, re-
spectively Northern Finland has its
midnight sun in summer and even
in the south during the summer sea-
son there are only few hours of
darkness in the "a.
From the low southern and west
ern coasts the land rises to central
heights of 300 feet to 700 feet. The
koh mountains, near the eastern
boundary, top 1000 feet. Finland's
highest peak, Haltia, lifts its summit
1890 feet in the extreme northwest.
Rivers are numerous and swift.
Power from rapids has been used
to a considerable extent for indus
tries.

Jap Quakes

Earthquakes were recorded in
Japan as early as 285 B. c. Rec
ords of modern age show $4,000
tremors in the period from 1884 to
1897. Severe shocks have occurred
about every six or seven years, with
three to four minor shudders day.
Major shocks usually have taken
heavy tolls of life. The great earth
quake of 1903 caused an estimated
loss of 100000 lives through
out Japan. Earth descriptions in 1891
creating the Neo valley fault, cut
ting across the central reaches of
Honshu, were accompanied by more
than 1000 fatalities. In 1928 a series
of quakes turned Tokyo and Yoko-
hama into shambles. A furious up
heaval took place in 1927 in Wakasa
bay, deep bite into the west coast
of Honshu, snuffing out thousands of
lives. Half the houses in Tottori, a
city of $4,000 people, on the sea
of Japan, were RACED by quake
that ratified southern Honshu in
1913. The dead and seriously injured
were estimated at 1,400.

Different Species

A plum is prune and vice versa
since they belong to the same
species, whatever the average con-
sumner may think about the matter,
say horticulturists. The two Words
were originally used for the same
fruit, plum being the Anglo-Saxon
and prune the French, although
modern usage Observation-Disclosures
the fresh fruit from standard plum
trees and particular type of the
dried fruit and its fresh equivalent.
How or when prune came to mean
the dried plum is not known, says
the U. S. department of agriculture.
Most plums ferment in the process
if dried with the pit left in. Prunes
dry successfully because they con-
tain more sugar, firmer flesh and
often more acid.
Today a prune is plum with
these particular characteristics,
whether it is fresh, dried or canned.
When plurns are dried after the pits
are removed they are called dried
plums," not prunes.

Old Blankets

That old wool blanket you were
tempted to discard last spring can
be put to a number of uses. Among
them is silence cloth for the din
ing table, mattress pad or a pad
for the ironing board.
If the blanket isn't too badly
patched or worn, it could be made
into a quilt covered with a light
weight cotton, the pieced cover
loosely tied to prevent slipping; or
it might be converted into an extra
warm interlining for a child's coat
or baby bunting. A light-colored
one might be dyed to make the
bright wool lining for child's coat.
Extra pieces could be cut down for
potholders or ironing board pads.
A bright lumber jacket could be
fashioned from the blanket if it was
plaid. Additional material left over
might be used for filling thin chair
set cushions or pin cushions or as
polishing cloths.
If the blanket is thin, 1t would be
useful in sick room, placed around
the patients shoulders for extra
warmth. AS long as the blanket
hangs together, the clever home
maker can find ways of using it.

Perfume Has Fatal
Appeal-To Coyotes

Scientists of the Fish and Wildlife
Service of the Department Of the
Interior have outdone the best Of
Partisan perfumers; they have per-
fected scent of genuinely fatal ap-
peal. The appeal, it should be point
ed out, is for marauding coyotes ex-
clusively. To human noses the new
scent is almost inexpressively re-
pugnant.
Preparedin what perfumers would
call extract or highly concentrated
form, the scent is made from the
rancid blubber of the common hair
seal of Alaska. A few drops placed
near a trap has proven to be an al
most irresistible lure to coyotes.
When the wind is right the animals
are able to detect the odor many
hundreds of yards away. The re-
Spouse of the coyotes is almost in
Simultaneous even though the smell
is entirely unfamiliar.
Trapping of predators such as the
coyote is an essential part of the
work of the Fish and Wildlife Serv-
ice because of the heavy toll they
take among herds and fiocks of do
nestle animals chiefly in the west.
A single coyote sometimes causes
damage running into thousands Of
dollars in the space of only a year.
Service hunters take more than 100,-
600 coyotes year.

Pressing is not ironing, but rather
combination of heat, steam, and
pressure. A steam press cloth of
cotton and wool is easily made at
home and will hold in and distribute
the steam, prevent scorching and
marking by the iron and prevent
shine and fattening and MASKING of
the nap. To make such a press
cloth, take piece of old wooden
material, such as mems suiting, fan
mel, or blanket, and attach it by
basting or machine stitching to a
larger piece of cotton material, such
as muslin or feed sack. Pressing
should be done on the wrong side
of the material or garment, and a
soiled garment should never be
pressed for spots or stains may be
set and rendered practically impos-
sible to remove.

Mucus and Influenza

Mucus in the lungs may be fac
tor that reduces resistance to inf1u-
enza, particularly the mucus caused
by irritation following the use OF
ether as an anesthetic. If atropine,
which inhibits the production of inu-
Gus, is administered the percentage
of deaths in experimental animals
from heavy doses of the influenza
virus is greatly reduced, particular
ly if it is injected from is minutes
to 6 hours before the infection. DR..

on mice at the hygienic laboratory of
the University of Michigan. When
atropine was administered is min
