In response to a call from the
eastern side Of the county. DR..
zurkow, Of the State Board OF Ar
riculture, specialist in animal dis
eases, and the county agent made
post morteIn examination on pigs
which had died for some unknown
reason. Upon examination, Dr.
Zurkow pronounced the cause
case Of cockle-burr poisoning,
sometimes known as the sheep
burr. Al total Of seven had been
lost, as q result Of eating the
young cockle-burr plants Just as
the first two leaves appear above
the ground. These young plants,
at this stage Of growth, are very
poisonous and attract the young
animals after they once get taste
Of them, going long distances in
search for it. The remedy would
simply be to keep the pigs in a
lot or pen until the cockle-burrs
have outgrown the first leaves, af-
ter which there should be no dam
ger Of this kind Of poisoning.

complete absence Of buying power, Liaui-
dation through commission houses was
heavy. Prices opened sharply lower. raj.
lied slightly when local traders bought and
then plunged again when commission
houses orders swept the pits.
At noon there was very little trading:
Brokers hung around the pits and waited
for buying orders.
Cash dealers reported that very few
of the cars Of corn which had arrived
in Chicago this morning had been sold
They said that, because of the absence
Of buying orders in the futures pits;
anyone who bought cash corn could not
hedge that purchase by selling futures:
AS a result. there were. few buyers OF
cash corn, they explained.

Stock Leaders Extend
Losses, but Selling
Pressure Eases
BY Victor Eubonk
Associated Pres, Financial Writer


NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Another
break in commodities chilled the
stock market again today although
scattered spots of resistance ap-
peared and pressure inclined to
slacken somewhat.
Leaders in virtually all groups ex-
tended their retreat at an active
opening. There were subsequent
slowdowns. Attempted recoveries
failed to follow through in the ma
jority of cases and losses of frac-
tions to 2 points or more were
widespread near the fourth hour.
Aside from weakness of grains
and cotton, Wall Street still leaned
to the liquidating side because of
pessimism over business prospects,
labor, taxes, growing consumer re-
sistance to high living costs and
the confusing international picture
There was talk of French selling of
stocks to take advantage
of the devalued franc.

R Edword G. Stone


More than 10000 shares of Po-
tomac Electric Power common
stock have been dealt in so far in
1e48 on the Washington Stock Ex-
change, making the issue by far the
most active on the board in several
years.

It has sold at 125s as the years low
and as high as 1874. The stock has
a national market, as it Is widely

American common stockholders.
Large blocks are said to be held
by investment trusts and insurance
companies. Sales In New York have
also been very heavy. The stock

Washington banks showed gain Of
S1,005,000 in the week ended Janu-

Demand deposits revealed a de-
crease of $4,556, 900 during the week

900. Other items were practically
unchanged.
Branch Bank Fight Looms.
Extension of inter-city branch
banking in cities or $4,000 or more
is prohibited in a bill now before the
Virginia Legislature. The bill is
partially aimed at the Bank of Vir-
ginia, after the recent controversy
in Norfolk which the bank won. 1t
is expected to stir heated debate in
the Assembly.
The Virginia Bankers Association
Is opposed to the extension OF
branch Offices as a general rule and
will have its say when the bill comes
up for consideration. The bill has
nothing to do with branches already
established.

March l Is the exchange date for
the new $40 par shares OF American

Do you bow in defeat before q
faulty faucet or an unlit lamp, wal,
for the handy man Of the house te
test his skill, or puncture your
budget by spending money on simple
repairs?
Fixing lamps, cords for irons and
washers, leaking faucets and lazy
locks is really a very simple matter
according to Mr.. Howard w. Ennis
who plans to pass on the necessary
know-how to housewives at the
handy woman class being introduced
at the YWCA this fall. Raising
windows needn't be a backbreaking
job, either, Mr. Ennis points out, and
sticking bureau drawers can be sub
dued in a matter of minutes.
Nine times out of ten, when light
blacks out, the trouble is in the
plug or socket, and can be fixed very
simply. The openings to bathroom,
kitchen and laundry faucets vary,
thus complicating the problem of re-
pairs. A washer is changed in pre-
cisely the same way in all three fix
lures, though, and the procedure is
again simple when the way to ap-
prosch each washer is learned.
Sweepers that refuse to start can
often be repaired easily. The starter
that you press is held inside the
machine by two metal fingers, one
Of which is electrified. If these fin
gers get bent away from the starter
it's obviously impossible to estab-
