Washington.—Promises of nearly
five billion dollars in business expen­
ditures have come forward from all
parts of the country In response to
President Hoover's appeal for for­
ward industrial activity in the next
year.
Some of the larger programs pro­
vide: One billion by railroads; one
billion to three billions for general
construction; one billion by New
York city; 500 millions for federal
buildings; $12,000,000 to $20,000,000
for government ocean mail contracts;
$16,000.000 of a 100 millions electri­

ECENT press dispatches
carried the news that Dr.
William I'. Kothwell of
Pawtucket, U. I., has
caused to he cut on a
huge boulder In Oak
Grove cemetery In that
city, where he will be
burled, this Inscription,
“This Is on me.” Known
as an ever-generous host,
Doctor Itothwell has said
•This Is on me” so many times while
paying the check that he wants it to
be his lust word. When he dies, he
■ays, he wants no mourning among
his friends, and he believes that the
familiar words on his tombstone will
bring smiles to them Instead of sor­
row.
The Rhode Island doctor Is not the
first to write his own epitaph and to
do It In a half-jesting mood. Per­
haps the most famous of all American
epitaphs was written by that first
great American, Benjamin Franklin,
at the age of twenty-three. It wus:

Ills wishes were not respected by
his family who thought that some oth­

appropriate. In the case of Robert

ferent, and upon Stevenson’s monu­

If the epitaph chosen by the Rhode
Island doctor seems a bit flippant, he
has plenty of precedent for this kind
of Jesting. John It. Klppax, a Chicago
man, has made a collection of unusual
epitaphs, some of which would seem
to ho more appropriate for a Joke
book than a graveyard. There Is the
epitaph of eleven-year-old Mary Jane
In a cemetery In Cape May, N. J„
which reads:
She w as not s m a rt, sh e w as not fair.

Washington. — President Hoover’s
conferences with lending railroad offi­
cials, bankers, manufacturers, labor,
farm nnd other lenders in the coun­
try’s business affairs, to stimulate the
tide ngninst any oppressive effect
from the stock market decline have
resulted in most gratifying assurance
that business will proceed at even
a greater pace than In the past.
One of the most Important fucts
brought out ns a result of the Presi­
dent's call for conferences Is that the
railroads of the United States will
spend n billion dollars for expansion
and equipment In 1030.
At the annual dinner of the Hallway
Business association held In Chicago,
following the meeting with President
Hoover, a general outline of rallrond
betterment nnd construction programs
added to the plan to keep business
booming.
Eastern rullronds, which nre expect­
ed to furnish the hulk of the building
projects, are busy working on the de­
tails of their 1030 spending. The
Pennsylvania alone, according to (’res­
ident W. TV. Atterbury, will expend
$100,000,000. Of this, $20,000,000 to
$25,000.000 will go for electrifying its
road between Washington nnd New
York, It Is estimated. The whole
electrification project will reach $100,-
000,000, nnd It Is assumed thnt $1G,-
000,000 of It will be used in 1930.
Vnrlous other railroads have made
announcement of greater expenditures
for equipment and genernl betterment
3 t their property, nil of which will
idd to the lubrication of the wheels
yf United States industry. The gov­
ernment has Instituted plans for a
than» Increase in public construction
ind marine building.
Interest in the development of In-
'and waterways hns greatly Increased
during the last year, nnd the Chicago
to-gulf waterway Is expected to be
completed In the next two years, ac­
cording to a report made to the Na­
tional Industrial Traffic league by Its
committee on Inland waterways.
Among the notable aggregations
conferring the past week with I’resl-
Jent Hoover for the purpose of main­
taining business progress, was one
neaded by Henry Ford, nnd Included
Julius Rosenwald, Owen D. Young of
the General Electric company, and a
score of others. It was one of the
most impressive groups of business
leaders to assemble In Washington
since the war.
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, and
other prominent labor lenders, had
their Important part in the Joint con­
ference. Leading public utility mag­
nates also participated and outlined
their lines In the Interest of business
success.
The trend toward cheaper money
was made evident by an announce­
ment by the federnl reserve board of
Its approval of a reduction In the re­
discount rate of the Boston federnl
reaerve district from 5 to 4H per cent
The Boston bank Is the second of the
12 federal reserve banks to make this
reduction, the New York bank having
taken the lead a few days ago.
The President particularly Is anx­
ious thnt construction activities of the
various Industries shall be expanded.
In line with his theory thnt construc­
tion work can be used to take up the
«lack In employment.

QUAKE TIDAL WAVE
TAKES MANY LIVES
Wall of Water Strikes Along
Thirty-Mile Front.
St. John’s, N. F.—An Immense tidal
wave, 40 feet high, caused by an
earthquake, swept the Isolated section
of the south coast of Burin peninsula,
Newfoundland, killed many, and
caused property damage of thousands
of dollars, It is reported here.
The town of Burin felt a severe
earth tremor. Two more shocks fol­
lowed a half hour later. Almost sim­
ultaneously the gigantic tidal wave
crashed into the village, sweeping
away everything along the water
front.
Sixteen
dwellings
were
crunched by the mass of water and
their wreckage swept to sea. Nine
lives, mostly women and children,
were lost. Several bodies have been
recovered.
All communication by wire was de­
stroyed.
It Is also reported that 18 lives were
lost at Lord’s Cave, a tiny fishing set­
tlement a few miles from the town of
Burin. Lamalin also reports great
damage with a loss of life. The S. S.
Daisy, a government revenue patrol
boat, was standing by to render as­
sistance.
St. Lawrence, nn extensive fishing
village, was also struck by the tidal
wave, but no loss of life is reported
here. Hundreds of people are report­
ed homeless.
The s. anche of water also caused
great havoc from Hock Harbor to
Lamalin. Houses, provisions and boats
were submerged along the water front.
Seven were drowned at Port aux
Bras, with four bodies recovered. The
town of Corbin also reported being
struck by the wave.
The fact that the wave swept In
after dark added to the distress. The
seenes in the darkness, with the roar
of the water and the crashing of
houses, added to the helplessness of
the frantic populace. One woman nnd
her three children were carried out
to sea in one of the houses. A girl
nnd her brother were lost in another.
The people were speculating on the
earth tremors when, without warning,
the great wave swept In, engulfing
the homes nnd then rolled hack to sen
with Its toll of human lives and the
shattered remains of houses.
Five Person* Killed in
Dime Store Explosion
Washington.—An explosion In the
basement of a 10-cent store during
rush hour killed five persons, danger­
ously injured others, and sent 40 to
hospitals.
The blast rocked the store and tore
away the front wnll to send debris
hurtling upon passersby.
So great was the disorder left by
wreckage that It was two hours be­
fore firemen could clear It away.
The dead: Cullinane, Catherine;
Cockerell, Mrs. Anna May; Cockerell,
Mary Ann, two; Dawson, Mrs. Eliz­
abeth ; Jacobson, Charles.
Precautions to take in shipping live
stock are contained In Leaflet 88-L,
Maintaining the Health of Live Stock
In Transit Just issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Tbe leaflet deals chiefly with the pre­
vention of hemorrhagic septlcomln, or
shipping fever, and related maladies
that have caused serious losses among
cattle received at public stock yards
and country feeding points.
The key to the reduction of ship­
ping losses, according to the author.
Dr. A. W. Miller, assistant chief, bu­
reau of animal industry. Is greater
care In handling, which In turn con­
serves the vitality of stock so they
can better resist the hardships of
travel. Among the devitalizing Influ
enceg to be especially avoided are ex­
posure to severe weather, changes in
the routine of feeding and watering,
excitement nnd overexertion.
The leaflet contains recommenda­
tions on the care, feeding and water­
ing of cattle before, during and after
shipment. The use of biologicnl prod­
ucts for preventing shipping fever Is
likewise discussed. Numerous Illus­
trations supplement the text, showing
desirable means of handling stock as
well as conditions to be avoided.
The leaflet Is part of a systematic
endeavor by the national live stock
and traders' exchanges, railroads, the
National Live Stock Producers asso­
ciation, government live stock spe­
cialists, and others to reduce the heavy
toll of losses caused by shipping fever
and kindred ailments. Conservative
estimates have placed the loss at
fully a million dollars annually, and
In some years It hns been as high as
tour million dollars.

tained by writing the office of infor­

Special Care of Dairy
Tinware of Importance
New tinware, such ns milk cans,
dippers, buckets, etc., as well as new
separator tinware rusts more easily
than old used tinware. The reason
Is simple. Metal surfnees do not have
a perfectly Impervious glaze like
glnsswnre or crockery. They are
more or less porous. With use these
pores goon become filled up with a
sort of a film grease, which then
serves as a protective coating for the
metal.
It Is very Important, therefore,
that the tinned parts of a cream sep­
arator be given extra care the first
month or two. That Is. they should
be thoroughly dried either with a dry
cloth or by being hung In a warm, dry
place, or both. This matter is one of
special Importance nowadays, since a
very large proportion of cream sep­
arator sales are replacements, and
where a farmer gets a new separator
In trade for his old one. In most cases
he will follow with the new machine
the same washing program he had
been following with his old one, with
the result that the new tinware rusts
where the old tinware did not. He
does not realize that new tlnwnre re­
quires greater care than old, and he
particularly does not realize that when
his old separator was new It was re­
garded as something out of the or­
dinary and the best care possible was
none too good for IL
Hay Roughage Useful in
Winter Ration for Cows
“Fifteen years’ experience has
taught the Massachusetts poultry men
that the so-culled agglutination test la
an efficient means of detecting carrier«
of bacillary white dlurrhea infection,"
[ said W. B. Hlnshaw, of the Massa­
chusetts Agricultural college expert
ruent station. In this test, made
under a microscope, specimens of the
suspected bacteria are mixed with a
sample of diluted blood serum from
the Infected bird. “The laboratory
test alone will not eradicate the dis­
ease; It is only one step In the prog­
ress.”
Under the Massachusetts law, tho
control of the disease Is voluntary
with the poultryman, who pays for tho
service at the experiment station con­
trol laboratory at the rate of 10 cents
a bird plus 1 cent for the leg hand.
The cost of 11 cents for each blr^l In­
cludes expenses of the blood collector
as well as the actual laboratory work.
Mr. Hlnshaw attribute« the failure
of certain poultrymen to eradicate tho
disease to a number of reasons. Tho
poultryman may fall to test all his
birds, or fall to retest at Intervals
within the season If the flock Is found
to be Infected,' or he may keep chicks
which have been hatched before the
test had been completed. Other rea­
sons are the failure to remove reac­
tors from the flock as soon as they are
reported; the failure to burn offal
from birds which react to the test
killed for home use; and the failure to
clean and disinfect the houses follow­
ing the removal of reactors.
Sometimes the poultryman makes
the mistake of holding reactors for
egg-laying purposes, and feeding eggs
from unknown sources to baby chicks.
Again he may hatch eggs for poultry-
men who have not tested their flocks,
or buy stock such ns eggs, chicks, and
adults, from dlseused flocks. When ha
returns birds to tbe flocks from poul­
try shows and egg-laying contests
without first quarantining them, ha
rung danger. Lack of attention to de­
tails In the field at the time of collec­
tion of blood samples may result la
failure to eradicate the disease.
Convenience Important
in Poultry Buildings
Though convenience concerns the
manager directly, It Indirectly affects
the poultry. The more convenient It
Is to do the work the easier It Is, and
the surer that It will be done; the
poultry plnnt should he “get-at-able"
for the manager or feeder.
Put the poultry house where It can
be got to readily, and also make It pos­
sible to feed the poultry without hav­
ing to run to the granary or stable
for grain.
In the gate, the door, the driveway,
and everything connected with the
poultry, convenience should be stud­
ied.
Often this one Item determines tbe
difference between pleasure and drudg­
ery, and the one Is as easy to have as
the other. Not only should the house
be accessible, but the Internal arrange­
ments ought to be such that the nec­
essary work may be done with the
least amount of labor.
If the man can do the work In the
hen house with the ease with which
It Is done In tho horse stable, there
will be fewer filthy poultry houses and
much better returns.
Buckwheat Favored for
Feeding During Winter
Buckwheat has tome qualities to be
recommended. It Is oily nnd, there­
fore, supplies heat to the birds and Is
particularly adapted to winter feed­
ing. It Is fattening. Because It has so
much woody fiber, however. It to only
worth about one-half as much pound
for pound as wheat for poultry feed.
Ground nnd mixed with skim milk and
bnttermllk It makes a very good fat­
tening mash. In scratch feeds for lay­
ing flocks It Is generally used In no
greater quantities than 10 per cent
for the above reason: too much fiber.
Feed all the roughage the cow will
clean up. This will be approximately
three pounds corn silage and one
pound of hay, or five to six pounds
of roots and one pound of hay, or one
pound of dried beet pulp soaked 12 to
24 hours before feeding and one pound
of hay, or two pounds of legume hay
or other dried roughage, for each 100
pounds of live weight. Where at all
