BRAZIL'S EXPORT Tl IE MINE RIO DB JANEIRO, Aug. 16. (Cor respondence of The Associated Press.) The foreign trade of Brazil during tho flrsl part ot 1919 is re girded as very encouraging. An In creased exportation 5 of some of Brazil's staplo commodities, such as coffee, rubber, cacao '."chjlled beef, bides, oil-bearing fruits, etc., as well as tho high prices which these ar ticles have commanded, leaves a vory respectable trade balance. That Brazil has rapidly forged ahead commercially during the years of the war Is generally conceded. The country's agricultural possibilities aro as yot practically unexpllclted, and tho war acted as a stimulus to ward ascertaining the wide range of her productivity. Brazil has beon able to export to Europo foodstuffs which, a few years ago, sho was not able to supply to herself. In the same way .animal husbandry Is making Btrldes which point to make meat products one ot tho country's chief exports. While Brazil has always been a cattlo-prod-uclng country, It la only during the last three or four years that she has been .looked upon as a world supplier and oven more recently several large modern packing houses have been constructed or projected. These are financed principally by American packing Interests. In tho past year the federal gov ernment, through the agricultural department, has devoted consider able attention to the Importation and purchase of animals of pure bloon. It Is proposed to carry on an exten slvo educational campaign among the livestock breeders of BraslI to Improve tho standard ot cattle. For this purpose the government Intends to mako liberal money appropria tions. David Harrell, commissioner of the United States Department of Agriculture, accompanied by an as sistant, hat just arrived in Brazil to make an Investigation ot the catle Ivdustry and lira information to Brazilian cattle raisers regarding the Importation of North American cattle. r ' FINANCIAL SIDE .

(By Mall) London girls are graceful and gen erally walk better than their bro there because they are fond of danc Ing, according to the medical officer 01 tne Jvonaon county council. "Teaching ot dancing In the public schools has no' doubt greatly helped, it it has not saved tho situation in regard to the physical development of j London girls," said the medical officer. Particularly noticeable is the much bette'r arched instep of the girls In eomparsion with their own brothers' and wiih country children generally. fl'The relative absence of flat-foot tkusl)brought about Is, the foundation of tst (race ot carriage which the tpry.ea London girl ot the elemen tary schools exhibits. In the coun try schools no dancing is taught, nor do the ehfldren there enjoy those Wtildi stimuli to an interest in 4aicng which are characteristic of London life."
