Hass (United Pnu SUA CorrMpoadtnL RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 12. The "alerte" and "all clear" system of warning of air raids, which was used in Paris during the war has been adopted by the coffee planters of southern Brazil in unique meas ures which have been ordered to combat frost. A smoke barrage Is to be adopted Instead of the shrap nel which was so effectively used to "get" enemy air raiders, and the agricultural officials of this coun try believe that compliance with the new regulations will provide against a repetition of the damage of last year's frost, which cost so many millions of dollars to planters and also to consumers. During the winter of 1918 an extraordinary cold wave, beyond the memory of the "oldest Inhabitants," swept over southern Brazil, and It was during this spell that the first snow in more than 80 years fell In Buenos Aires. The frost found the planters absolutely defenseless, and when normal weather returned it was found that millions of coffee trees were killed and a large per centage of th6 ' others injured so badly that the crops for the next three years will be cut down by about one-half. Instead of a pro duction of 16,000,000 bags a year, seven or eight millions is all that can be hoped for annually : until 1921. SLIGHT DROP IN WHOLESALE PRICES SEEN GOVERNMENT REPORT ENCOURAGING.

With a campaign to reduce the high coat of living in full swing, comparisons of quota tions of July 28, with those of Au gust II, showed a marked decline which comenced after the .attack on unjustified prices began. Potatoes have been cut from 5 cents to 83.40 a barrel since July 28, acordlng tq quotations which the bureau of markets has collected. Slashes in prices of dressed meats range up to 5 ce;its for pork loins and cutting has also been extended to beef. Big crops are noticable in quotations for Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Chicago. A few price increases are shown for grades of meat, but figures indi cate that the. downward trend is general, and that Increases are ex ceptional. CASE IS SETTLED BY ARBITRATION BOARD Lovcn & Chinlund Ordered to Make . Peace with Union, but Are Re quired to Pny 'Xo Fine. '.rerenccs existing between the .nd Clerks' union and the Loven ' Chinlund store were satisfactor ily' arranged late yesterday after noon, when an arbitration commit tee, h:c'.cd by Fred N. Wallace, Ordered that the merchants should sign a contract with the union and refused the union's demand for a heavy fine against the business firm. In its report, the committee rec ommended that steps be taken at onre to require the merchants of Bend to open their plales of busi ness at S o'clock in the morning, closing at 6 o'clock in the evening. This frost bad the effect of about tripling the local price of coffee. The new plan which has been evolved - for getting the best of "Jack Frost" ia being put into ef fect by the municipality of Itajahy. a city in the state of Santa Catha- rina. in the heart of the southern Brazil coffee country. ; The regulations are comnulsorr. being Issued by the agricultural au thorities. . Violation , by plantom under tho Jurisdiction of the dis trict lays them subject to heavy fines. ' , . The project calls for the prepara tion of fuel for bonfires north, east and west of the coffee groves at distances of thirty to forty meters apart. This preparation must be made early in the cool season and continued for several months. Each planter must collect sufficient wood and brush to keep fires burning three nights in Succession,' and In case the fuel reserve become,, fn any way depleted must maintain an adequate supply. When the fore casters see a frost a signal to the planters to light their fires Imme diately will be given by means of the firing of bombs. The idea Is to create as much smoke as possible, and hav and green leaves are o bo thrown nn the fires. When the danger of irost is passed the nlamor. Win again be notified by bombs in".. tlngulsh , their fires. , . , . i. s
