NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Santo Domingo Dettroyed by Hurricane —Great Feat of French Flyers. By EDWARD W. PICKARD SANTO DOMINGO, capital of the Dominican republic and oldest settlement of the white race in the New world, wan' almost entirely destroyed by a tropic*:!. hurricane which swept _jie<city for four hours. Nearly every building was rated and the number of dead in the city alone is believed at this writing to be about Sts*. The .scenes of horror, and distress are described In t>irt«f dispatches that came through after communication with' the island had lcen partially restored. President llnfuel Trujillo himself took charge of the relief work that was Started immediately, and the entire army of the republic was put to work to aid the suffering, >* officials and newspapers of Santo Domingo appealed for help to the United States, and the Bed Dross was quick to respond. as it. always is. American Minister Curtis cabled the State de partment at Washington regarding the situation. He snidObe had not revived reports from the interior of the Island but that- the loaa of life there problihly was small. In the neighborhood of the capital-all bridge* • were wrecked, roads rendered itnpass Hide and telegraph w ires had vanished,. It was estimated that the speed of the wind was 150 miles an hour. - The terrific storm, moving in from the southeast. was headed for the . eastern end of Cuba and the Florida straits. Communications throughout the entire region were disrupted f<>r many hours. The -Porto liioo liner Cos mo. winch was an. its waj to Sitoto Domingo, hud a narrow escape, passing through the very center of the hurricane. It turned back and managed to reach San Juan In a haltered and stripped condition. There were indicat ions in -report* received by the weather bureau In San Joan that the storm might turn out Into the Atlantic and endanger shipping lanes. The Washington weather bureau V believed the Mori da coast was not endangered. > FOB the first time the Atlantic ocean has been crossed in a nonstop flight from -Paris to N. w York. The feat wag, accomplished by ('apt. Died-., donne Cost* and. Maurice' Beilonte In their famous plane Question Mark in 37 hours, IS minutes and l!o seconds. During tills time. In fair weather and fog. dayUl.'ht and night, their single;', motor never missed.. Following generally the great north circle route, they averaged more thao-HX) miles-an hour and landed at Curtiss Reid, Valley Stream, Ixmg Island, at dusk, tired but. jubilant. , Great crowds greeted the aviators at the Reid and in New York city, and they and the French govemroent received the congratulations of high ofliIcials fn m President Hoover down and of our leading airmen Among those who welcomed them ns they landed were. Coi. Charles Undbergh and his wife. Captain Coate. who had been planning the Right for a long time, said they were forced to dodge through dense mists and around storms, and their first American landfall was the coast of Nova Scotia. BeIng informed that Col. W. 11, Masterwood of Dallas. Texas, had offered ¥25,000 to them if they would fly their plane to I ‘alias, they took off for Hint city early Thursday morning. This, according to hastily made plans, was to be the start of a tour of the country, toward the dose of which the Frenchmen will be entertained at luncheon by President Hoover in the White House. The Quesion Mark will be flown back to Paris by Paul Codos and a mechanic, but Coste and Beilonte will return by steamship. Naturally the people of France were jubilant over the flight made by their countrymen. Some of the Paris newspaper* thought the chief importance of the flight was the demonstration to the Hermans and the Italians that French aviators were not so helpless a* wa* supposed. It was announced that Coste. who Is an o’.ficer of the Leftioo cf Honor, would be made- a commander and that Belloute. who ia a chevalier, would l>e made an officer. At the s* me time they are to get army promotion. Captain Coste to become a major atid Beilonte. who Is a noncommissioned officer, to become a second lieutenant. ’ FOLLOWING the successful revolution in Peru, there is threat of a similar movement In Argentina, and also reports tell of decided unrest In parts of Brazil. In Buenos Aires exf

traordinary military precautions were taken, apparently for the protection of President Hlpolito Yrigoyen, and the press demanded the reasons. Then the students began demonstrating against the President and they and various leaders of the country demanded that lie resign or lake a vacation, leaving the executive power in the hands of Vice President Martinez. There was much confusion in ttie cabinet, from which General Deltepiane. minister of war. resigned, and the government didn’t seem to know just what to do. The public was nervous, too. and business suffered severely, f rigoyen. who remained in his residence, was reported to be seriously ill. With Coi. Sanchez Cerro firmly estsblished as President <>f Peru, conditions there settled down to approximate normalcy. Legui.a. the deposed President, was taken from the warship on which be attempted to escape and put in prison to await trial. A decree by tlie revolutionary junta created a national tribunal of accounts to investigate ail charges of graft made against former government employees, and those with whom they did business, Sweeping economies in the government services were made and till licensed gambling was suppressed. Lieutenant Commander Harold B. Grow, the American who was director general of the l.egula government's air forces, was still held in prison under threat of court-martial proceedings on charges of violating, the military code. Charles W. Sutton. Americitn engineer, was in -the national penitentiary accused of mishandling funds on an Irrigation project. The Brazilian trouble .suiters in the slate of Bio Grande do Sul and Dr. Osvaldo Aranha was said to be leader of a discontented faction that threatened a revolutionary outbreak. PROBABLY .1.

INVESTIGATION of campaign expenditures in Illinois by Senator Nye'se, committee lias developed a curious situation, Ruth Hanna McCormick. Republican candidate for the senate, f< it, the inquiry Into her din* tairsoments in tlie primary campaign had become persecution, and charged that her office had been broken into and her papers ransacked by agents of the committee. So 'she employed a detective agency to investigate the North Dakota senator and his employees; nnd then her sleuths in turn were tills do wed by. other detectives. Mrs. McCormick openly admitted her action and asked: “What is Senator Xye going, to do about It':” In ids reply Mr. Xye called the method and practice of lltuh’s agents “shoddy. Scabby, unprincipled, unconscionable and contemptible,” and be called a special session of his commit- • tee In Chicago for the. purpose of questioning .those same agents. The information they gave only served to make the situation more confused, with charges and countercharges of shadowin'?, prop* sod treachery and threats. Nye then announced an adjournment to. September 15, declaring that the committee would not lie “dlverted from its clearly defined duty by any smoke screen laid down through a will to threaten. intimidate and influence." JM’.ANCK last week was putting on * two leg war shows that may have been intended to Impress Germany and Italy especially. Maneuvers were conduct d simultaneously along the Itali; nS.vbs frontier in the French Alps in southeastern France, with the center of opetotiens about, fit) miles northwest of the Italian city of Turin; and in re-annexed l-orralne. along the Hernu n frontier. Twenty thousand troops Were engaged along the Italian front, and oti.tMX) on the German front. IX JOt'lt XA Ml STIC circles, at least. * there was great Interest in the action of the French government in expelling from France William Uandoiph Hearst. publisher of many American newspapers. He .was told to get out of the country within two hours., and did so. It was officially stated in Paris that the act “had as Its origin tlie role played by Mr. Hearst in obtaining and publishing a secret document relating to the AngloFrench naval negotiations." It will be recalled that Harold Horan, a Hearst representative, obtained that document through alleged bribery and was expelled from France. At the time the publisher upheld Horan, and

his attitude ever since has been considered by France as anti-French. The Paris police officials said: “Mr. Hearst is a Franeo-phobe and we prefer he should do his criticizing outside of France. The Horan affair of 1928 was one of the reasons why Mr. Hearst was asked to leave.” Mr. Hearst regards the expulsion as due only in part to the Horan incident. lie thinks ttiat tlie government is more largely inspired by resentment against tlie critical attitude of his newspapers toward French.policies. PRESIDENT HOOVER has accepted invitations to deliver four addresses in six days early in October, and the political observers in Washington consider that the opening of ins campaign in behalf of tlie Republican party’s efforts to retain its command of congress at the November elections. Tlie President will make his speeches in three w idely separated states and in his journeying will pass through other states with opportunities to meet some <>f their people. First of tlie scheduled addresses Is that before tlie American Bankers’ association in Cleveland on October 2, and presumably it will he on finance and business. Tlie American Me gion will hear Mr. Hoover in Boston tlie morning of October 0-; and that afternoon lie will speak before the American Federation of Labor in tlie same city, probably dealing.with unemployment. Next day, October 7, the President will deliver tlie address at tlie Kings Mountain battle anniversary celebration. He will detrain at Kings Mountain, which is in North Carolina, and will speak a few miles over tlie border in South Carolina. A great part of bis audience will be drawn from North Carolina and Tennessee, both of which states gave him their electoral votes in 1928. CHAIRMAN I.KGGE of the federal farm hoard made u speech before title New York state grange at Syracuse that aroused the protests of organized labor, lie said the farmers’ increased tax rates are due “largely tjo tbe advance in labor rates,” and. added that “on many manufactured articles 80 per cent of tlie wholesale price can be directly traced to somebody’s pay et * elope.” President WiHiam Green of the American Federation of Labor immediately telegraphed Mr. Legge asking him to correct tlie statement because it Was “neither justifiable nor cor reel.” Mr. Green said: “Since 1914 the cost of wages to employers tias changed five-tenths of 1 per cent only.-,, in 1913 employers in the United States paid 16.8 pet cent of tlie wholesale price of their products to workers in wages. In 1927 they paid 17.3 per cent. UfARD T. VAN ORMAN, America's leading balloonist, won the international balloon race for tlie Gordon Ren nett trophy with tlie Goodyear VIII. The contest Started near Cleveland. Ohio, and Van Or man lauded his bag near Canton. Mass., having traveled approximately 530 miles. Capt. Ernest Demuyter, pi lot of the Belgian entry, the Bejgica. was second with 4.T5 miles, hut it was said lie might be disqualified because an assistant left the halloon via tlie drag rope to give it a longer flight. SECRETARY of Agriculture Arthur M. Hyde fears tlie drought in the Middle West is to continue and tc spread northward. He called a meet ing of the state chairmen of relief for September 10 in Wasliington. “Tlie drought is not over yet.” said Mr. Hyde. “It seems ttiat a new drought may he starting in tlie area north of the belt so hard hit In July ami the first part of August. Fortu BKtely, a large part of the production of wheat and small grains is bar vested.” The rising prices of corn, live stock, and oilier commodities due to tire drought partly lias compensated farmers in the centra! states for their losses, Mr. Hyde said.

POULTRY ♦KELTS DIVERS CULLINGS IMPROVES FLOCK A Regular System May Be Used to Secure Layers. Cull the poultry flock a little at n time, along through tlie season as the hens stop laying and have a better paying and less expensive flock. This is tlie advice of \V. F. Armstrong, poultry worker nt tlie North Carolina state college. Hfi says the plan is better than culling* th entire flock at one time during late summer or fall and forgetting about it until next season. “By culling at intervals oftwo or three weeks after spring egg production i.egins to drop, much feed is saved;”'says Mr. Armstrong. "Ibis system is simple and does not require an expert, When out of laying, the hen shows a narrow measurement between the public hones and between these bones and tlie breast hone. The vent is small and yellow and the abdomen is bard. Tills is enough to look for in this plan, except that the unusually fat birds mu; be culled at any time.* Another advantage in culling as the hens quit laying is In the better price received for the culls. Brices for poultry is always lowest in late summer and fall. By selling the cull birds as they go out of laying a better price and market is secured, says Mr. Armstrong. latte in the summer or early fall, the regular culling system may he used to select next year’s layers and breeders. Early molting hens are always the poorest layers. Quit culling, he advises, when tlie flock is down to the number wanted for the next season. Do not confuse culling with selecting the breeding birds for next season. The. pullets developing quickly and the quick-grow-ing, energetic cockerels will always make the best breeding stock if the performance of their parent birds is known. Feed Milk to Increase Size of Pullet Eggs One of the problems connected with worms in poultry is building up health and vigor and condition after the worms nave been removed by the projier drug. Bros. .1. J. Halpin. of the University of Wisconsin, makes a recommendation in regard to tlie use of cod liver oil that appears sound mid worth trying, to tlie extent of making 2 or 3 per cent fit the mash cod liver oil. Professor Halpin says: “Some of our corres|»ondents have had trouble with worms in their flocks: after they fed cod liver oil. they_ found tlie troutde from worms practically disappeared. I wouldn't recommend cod liver oil as a treatment for worms, hut I think >od liver oil will undoubtedly - prove of benefit in any flock where resistance is lowered, due to cold, worms, or anything of the sort. Naturally, the more practical thing to do is to give a good- worm remedy, and then use cod liver oil'to help-build up the flock.” Water Is Big Source of Infection to Poultry -The quality of the water for pool try should be determined by cleanli ness and freedom front possible in section. Cleanliness can be taken care of hy rinsing the container daily, or more often, if necessary. The water can be kept much cleaner, if It is elevated from tlie floor to a point where litter cannot be scratched into it. Quality of water as a source of infection can he taken care of by giving water from a .well or the water supply which Is used in the home it is dangerous to dip water from streams or stagnant fmols. one can never tell where such water comes from ami what diseases it carries. A bird may have died of some contagious disease and have drop|>ed into fids stream or stagnant pool causing an infection wldcti w! eu carried jo the poultry house may mean disaster to the flock. Early Fall Leavers Some people have objected to the early layers tn tlie fall, as they wilt often molt in the early part of the winter and thereby slacken tip in egg production. On the other hand, when such bints do go into the rrtolt. they will again start laying in tbe early part of the year and the eggs will be especially suitable for hatching purposes. as the birds will he better matured. in fact, many hatcheries prefer eggs front flits age of pullets for hatching purposes. Important Task Probably tlie most liiqMirtant Job for the pouitr.vmen at fids season of the year is that of getting the young pullets into winter quarters I’rovid ring warm. dry. draft free houses with sanitary equipment is one pari of the problem, ('tilling out the late hatched. (Mtorly devehqied pullets is another : seasonable k»h The removal of the undevelojied pullets will give the thrifty birds more room in the house, save feed, and tend to prevent dis ease epidemics. Fixing Straw Lofts Many readers hesitate to adopt the straw loft method of insulating and ventilating poultry houses because of tbe fear that tlie straw will become infested with lice and mites. However, there will be no trouble from this source where the roosts and wails Md floors are disinfected regularly as recommended by all poultry authorities as these are tbe places where mite infestation starts. Frequently straw lofts are us’d three or four years without replacing.

Everything points to a low. price for corn this fall and winter and, as a consequence, growers of corn will find It more profitable to market their crops through live stock than to make of it a cash crop. By ensiling some of the crop and husking out the bal mice, cattle feeders will have a good stock of low-priced feed this fall. In order to make feeding operations profitable, buildings that will house the cattle and roughage and tlie grain rations, together with silos, are needed Cattle that are kept in a dry lot and practically unprotected from winter weather, use up a great amount of feed to produce body heat rattier than to put on flesh and fat., which are what buyers pay for; The cuttle feeding plant shown is an open stable floor with equipment for hay storage ahd hay self-feeding. Between the two silos at the front is the feed storage room and feed mixing room. The equipment used to cut down the labor c(f feeding the animals is indicated on tag floor plan.

What Can You Afford to Pay for a Home? No young couple should attempt to buy a home until they are ready to pay down nt least 25 per cent of the cost in cash, warns Willard K. Denton, president of the Metropolitan League of Savings and' Loan associations, writing in Good Housekeeping Magazine. Nor should a family attempt to buy a home whose cqot is more than three times the sum of the family’s annual income, advises Mr. Denton, whose organization memfiprs finance the majority of owner-built homes in New Tork area. Thus, if a man earns $5,000 a year, he is justified under normal circumstances in planning to buy and pay tor a $15,000 home. Including the cost of ground, in a period of ten to twelve years. - To illustrate the financial advantages of buying or building one’s home as opposed to renting, the expert presents tables showing the expenditures of two families living on the same scale over a period of 12 years.

The stable floor is .open and in it has been indicated bay racks for storing loose hay so that tlie. ctittle can have access to it all the time, and along each side is shown a manger or feed hunk. Tlie barn has a system of ventilation and is equipped with ap overhead carrier track loading from over the mangers t<> the fe?d mixing- room and .to the silos. • This equipment will cut down the labor of handling tlie feed and enable fine man to do at least as much work as two. if the carrier track was not included. The silos are both 14 feet by 28 feet and art? constructed of hollow vitrified tile. However, any other good silo building material can be used. The barn is of frame construction and a -concrete floor in the stable is indicated. However, if the owner feels that this expense is not justified, the floor could be made with two or three inches of cinders underneath tlie surface fhr drainage. A concrete floor is better as it is more easily kept clean. Climate Dictates Climatic conditions often, dictate the type of homes which must be built.

DAIRY FACTS

PROTECTION FOR MILK AND CREAM Cleanly Conditions Are Essential for Products. Filth nnd manure, when they gain entrance to ntilk and cream, give these products their respective odors and flavors. They further contaminate them with many species of bacteria which fermeik tlie product, decomposing one or more of its ingredients, producing objectionable odors and flavors, and yield ferments which in turn have tlie power of decomposing tlie product and deteriorating it in storage. In order to avoid unnecessary contamination o* milk, cream and butter, these products should be produced and handled under cleanly conditions. Tlie barnyard should be kept dry and free from manure so that tlie cows are not compelled to wade ktteedeep in mud before 'they enter tlie stable. Tlie stable must lie kept free from accumulation of dirt and manure; tlie manure should be removed at least once daily; the bedding must tie clean and the stable must be sufficiently ventilated to eliminate strong animal and manure odors; tlie floors should he sprinkled with water before sweeping and tlie sweeping must be done several hours before milking, so as to give the dust in tlie air a chance to settle before tlie milk is exposed to tlie stable air. The cows must be kept clean, hy preventing them from lying down on a filthy floor and their udder and flanks should be wiped off with a clean, damp cloth before milking commences; the currying of tlie cows aiionld lie done after and not before, milking. Control Milk Vitamins by Ration Fed to Cow The vitamin content of milk, one of tlie few/foods to contain the whole vitamin alphabet, varies according to the ration fed the cow. says the monthly “Food Distribution.” Vitamin A content of milk may he changed by varying the amount of this vitamin in tHe cows ration, it quotes 1 >r. \V. ,E. Krauss, assistant in the dairy department of the Ohio Experiment station as saying, - .This, is also true of vitamin B, although it is now thought that the cow Can manufacture her own supply of this substance. "Vitamin C content of milk can also he changed by changing -the ration, says “Food Distribution,” hut this factor is so easily destroyed hy heat that other foods must he relied upon to furnish what is lacking. The Ohio Experiment station is now attempting to increase the amount.of vitamin D in milk through a commercial feed containing tisli meal in the cow's ration. Irradiated ergosteroi, the most potent source of vitamin D ktnavu, is being used in another test. Standardized Cream Is Held Without Variation Where a standardized cream is sold, either of 20 per cent for coffee cream or 40 per cent for whipping, an effort should be made to hold to i this test without any serious variation. } A difference of tin turns each minute I on tlie separator crank will change the. test nearly 3*, 2 per- cent. Also | any great change in the temperature I of the milk at time of separation will ! affect the test. Losses from these may prove as se--1 rious as. using a woruout machine or ime in which tlie bowl is out of balance. Although the newer models 1 turn much easier than the older ones, yet those with power available are making use of either electricity or | gasoline to help secure a uniform speed and also take some of the drudgery from the job.. Cream Rises Somewhat Rapidly in Fresh Milk “It is admitted." says Roy T. Harris of Wisconsin College of Agriculture, “that cream rises somewhat more rapidly in fresh warm milk than It does in older milk at lower temperatures, and it would therefore seem possible that if milk were stirred until cooled or even stirred rather thoroughly once after tlie cooling process has advanced somewhat, less cream would rise to the surface in the can than would otherwise be the case. At the same time, it is held to he doubtful that tills natural separation has any appreciable effect upon tlie accuracy of the sampling. It is, finite likely that the greater errors occur elsewhere.” High Quality Product Clean barns, clean cows, clean milkers, and cooling immediately after separation, all tend to produce a high quality product, but probably most important of all is the care of the utensils which come in contact with the milk and cream. As the dairy utensils are handled on many farms, they are by far the most important source of bacterjj. With proper attention their care may require less work than is usually given on farms producing an inferior product Necessary Protein When no legume roughage is fed. but the cow Is given silage and such hays as timothy, millet or sudan grass. Or when these nonleguminous hays are fed without silage, the grain ration should contain from 20 to 22 per cent of digestible protein. This amount may be secured in mixtures like the following: One hundred pounds each of corn, oats and wheat bran, plus 2fio pounds linseed meal; or 100 pounds linseed meal might he substituted for 250 pounds linseed meat
