VELDOWN is a revolutionary
advance in sanitary napkini.
Instead of mere layers of crepe
paper it has a rayon cellulose filler
downy and gentle as fluffed silk.
A filler that prevents all chafing,
discomfort and paoking, with no
harsh edges to harden and irritate
And yet it is 3 to 5 times more
absorbent than ordinary pads
safe and effective hours longer.
Veldown comfort costs no more
than ordinary sanitary pads. At

Farm Prices May Improve
The ' huge agency's rehabilitation
program proceeds Just as the agricul
ture department reported It had
found "a number of changes that
may mean the steady decline In farm
prices has been 'checked."
The August 1 survey of the depart
ment, said J. Clyde Marquis of the
bureau of agricultural economics,
makes It appear that "the general
landslide of prices" has been "levelled
out for a few weeks."
The index of general farm prices
from June 15 to July 15 went up 5
points because of Increased returns
for hogs, cattle, cotton and some ma
jor crops, he added, while the advance
In grains, particularly wheat, did not
come until after July 16. But on
the whole, he said, 'This month's
change In farm prices is the greatest
gain recorded in any one month since
July 16, 1029."

NEW YORK. Aug. 2 (fl - One
phase of the railroad problem wor
ries executives In major lines outelde
of railroading as much, If not more,
than it does railroad executives.
That Is the drastic shrinkage of the
carriers' purchasing power.
A remedial proposal which,, la re
ceiving much attention in both gov
ernmental and financial quarters is
the suggestion that the reconstruc
tion finance corporation loan the
carriers money to renovate their
equipment. .
Just how severely the purchasing
power of the roads has been restricted
by. the great decline in their traffic
over the past .two years Is shown by
the following comparison of their ex
penditures for material and supplies
for maintenance and for capital Im
provements In 1031, es contrasted with
1929:

1031 1929

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 (ff The
American government today looked for
something that would at least bring
a truce In arguments between Bolivia

countries whore United States citi

J lint what could be done was prob
lematical, especially In view of the
decision by the Paraguayan congress

zation of Its armed forces.
Disturbing replies to neutral na
tions for several days had greeted
peace moves. Paraguay sold, she
would not bo responsible for reprisals
following the reported seizure of some
of her forte by Bolivians. Bolivia ex
pressed disinterest In any offer from
neutrals to Investigate clashes since
