SEEKING- HARMONY AT HOME
Paris Aristide Briand, having
announced his willingness to remain
;in charge of France's Foreign Rela
tions, political leaders were busy try
ing to stifle the hostility of his poli
tical enemies and seeking to build a
real national unity. France as a
whole seemed to be impressed with
jthe necessity of such a unity because
of the many international problems
ion the hoiizon and the big disarma
ment conference scheduled to open
at Oeneva early next year, all posses
sing vital interests for France.
French opinion still regards rela
tions with Germany as the outstand
ing question of foreign policy, and
press dispatches indicated that Ger
jinany may ask at least a moratorium
ion war reparations. Frenchmen re
Iceived this as an indication that eco
nomic and financial problems are
likely to arise to complicate the en
itire European political situation.
Warning that M. Briand's old
time enemies in the chamber of de
puties will continue their battle
against his policy was given by the
announcement of Deputy Franklin
Bouillon that he would interpellate
the government when the chamber
reconTenes. He said he would de
mand that M. Briand be replaced.

Feeding Hogs
in Car Causes
Many Deaths
Department of Agriculture Urges
Shippers of Hogs to Watch
Effects of Feeding
"In hot weather don't feed shippt I
hogs in the car." That is the essence
of shipping instructions being pre
pared for hog producers by the Agri
cultural Department of the Colorado
& Southern and Burlington Rail
roads "A full stomach materially re
duces the hogs resistance to heat.
Shipping losses are certain to result,
regardless of the railroads diligence
in continually showering transit
swine unless shippers cooperate by
with-holding feed until the hogs ar
rive at a favorable feeding station."
This and many other valuable sug
gestions on snipping all (lasses of
livestock are being made available
to stockmen by these railroads.
"See that the car is cleaned,
bedded with sand and win re pos
sible, thoroughly wet down before
loading." continues this timely re
port. "Less than the normal feed
should be allowed before loading and
the hogs should be rested and cooled
before being put abrorul the cars.
Overloading should be carefully
avoided and hogs of different sizes
and from different herds separated
by partitions" The Burlington has
recently installed now double deck
showering devices at all strategic
shipping c enters and it is hoped thru
the discreet use of these ancl the co
operation cf shippers to reduce hot
weather hog losses to a minimum.
"Neither cinders nor ordinary dirt
provide satisfactory bedding for
transit swine." further suggest these
carriers. "The cinders are eaten by
the hogs to the detriment of their in
testinal apparatus, also, because of
their extremely sharp and hard na
ture, they pierce the skins of any
hogs that line down on them caus
ing much discomfort and materially
reducing the value of the meat. Be
cause of this fact, railroads have
been forced to pass specific regula
tions against bedding with cinders.
Ordinary earth on the other hand is
transformed into mire when the hogs
are showered and because of the poor
footing this mire affords, the hogs
slip badly, the direct result being
numerous cripples as well as over
tired and unattractive mud covered
hogs. Straw is too warm for hot
weather and its use results in many
heat prostrations. If properly loaded,
however, without excess feeding and
bedded with damp sand, the fattest
hogs will arrive at market despite hot
weather handicaps in good condi
tion." "The matter of shrink is a much
over emphasized bugaboo. The hog
buyers trained thru years of study
and experience are not easily fooled
on the dressing percentage of the
hogs they buy. They purchase all
lots on a basis of quality and yield.
If the hogs are gorged on feed the
buyer's bid price is correspondingly
lower than if. because of a less till,
the hogs will dress out a higher per
cent of carcass. Furthermore, experi
ence shows that hogs will go with
out feed for a considerable period
without drawing on the body tissues
for substance, so that hogs shipped
ordinary distances and not fed en
route actually arrive at market con
taining just as much meat value as
those that are fed. It might also be
added that no figures are yet avail
able to show that hogs not fed in
transit will not even take on a
greater fill at market than those not
so treated. In any case the shrewd
buyer purchases meat not fill, and
shippers are fooling only themselves
by attempting to increase their in
comes by over-filling their market
animals."
With hot weather almost 'here,
these shipping suggestions seem par
ticularly appropriate at this time.

However, Change Little
in April
Washington While the general
output of manufacture and employ
ment in factories showed little
change from March to April, accord
ing -o a summr. ry Of business and fi
nancial ccKid'Mons in 'he United
States published in the Federal Re
serve Kulletin, certain industries ex
perienced more t" an usual seasonal
increases in business.
The automobib industry, the re
port t.tates, had a larger than sea
sonal incrc::Ke in output. Consump
tion of cotton by domestic mills also
increased contrary to the usual sea
sonal movement, the bulletin de
clares. Large increases in the production
cf petroleum ami anthracite coal are
also noted.
Tbe number employed in factories
in the middle of April, the report de
clared, was about the same as a
month earlier. In car-building shops
and in establishments producing ma
chinery, employment decreased con
siderably, while in the automobile
and cement industries there were
seasonal increases, and in the ferti
lizer industry a larger than seasonal
increase. Employment in textile
mills declined by less than the sea
sonal amount, reflecting chiefly a
slight increase in employment at cot
ton mills, and a small decrease in
the clothing industry; at mills pro
ducing woolen and silk goods de
clines in employment were larger
than usual. Factory pay rolls de
clined somewhat in April.
Value of building contracts award
ed, which fluctuates widely from
month to month, declined cor.r'd'"
ably in April, according to the F. ..
Dodge Corporation, and decreaser
were reported in all the leadir.;;
classes of construction. In the first
four months of the year total awards
decreased 26 per cent from the cor
responding period of 1930, reflecting
declines of 10 per cent for residen
tial building. 17 per cent for public
works and utilities. 25 per cent for
educational building, 43 per cent for
factories, and 57 per cent for com
mercial buildings.
Freight car loading showed about
the usual seasonal increase in April.

at 105 per cent of the 192:1-1925
average, compared with 97 per cent
in March.
The general level of wholesale
prices declined 1.6 per cent further
in April, according to the bureau of
labor statistics. In jthe first half of
May, prices of many leading commod
ities were reduced further, and for
the six-week period as a whole there
were Iarg declines in the pries of
cotton, silk, and textile; livestock
and dairy products; cement, petro
hnm products and nonferrous me
tals. Loans and investments of report
ing member banks in leading cities
declined by about $ 150.00,000 be
tween April 1 and the middle of May,
reflecting substantial liquidation in
locus 011 securities and in all other
bans, largely commercial. This liq
uidation of loans was offset in part
by further large additions to the
bank's investments, which on May
13 were more than $1,000,000,000
larger than at the beginnig of the
year.
Volume of reserve hank credit de
clined somewhat in the six weeks
ending May 16. Contrary to the us
ual seasonal tendency, tbere was
some further increase in currency
demand fcr the period, reflecting
chiefly banking disturbances in tin
middle West. Gold imports continued
in considerable volume and supplied
the member banks with sufficient
funds to meet the additional demand
for currency, and also to reduce
somewhat tbe amount of Reserve
bank credit outstanding.

President Chiang Kai-Shek is ex
pected to take up arms against the

of pliant elastic taper the
hips to perfection.
