1929 SET RECORD IN FOREIGN TRADE Farrell, U. S. Steel President, Cites Unprecedented Ac- tivity in Export Business. By the Assoclated Press. LOS ANGELES, May 23—Despite a considerable recent decline in activity, foreign trade for 1929 set & new record for both the United States and the world, James A. Farrell, president of the United States Steel Corporation, told the seventeenth annual convention of the National Foreign Trade Council here Wednesday. Mr. Farrell, as chairman of the council, opened the convention and presided. If it is true that the slackening of world trade was due to some extent to money market conditions in the United States preceding the break in security prices, it seems also probable, Mr. Far- rell said, that “the break itself may ul- timately cause some measures of rem- edy.” For, the chairman pointed out, “it has been followed by an easing of money rates, which is already turning the attention of American investors to- ward sound foreign securities.” Mr. Farrell declared California had taken fourth place among the States as a source of American exports and S s “has shown the most | i omeast o |, It was learned by the police that the | startling increase in foreign trade, ex- ports having multiplied in value 200 times in 14 years.” “The international commerce of the world is passing through a period which finds no close parallel in recent years,” he said. “The present rate of activity is shown to be considerably slower than that of only a few months ago. The rate of the first eight or nine months of 1920 proceeded at an unusual pace, 80 that despite the slackening that oc- curred toward the close of the year the aggregate for the full 12 months con- stituted a new record, both for the United States and for the world. “Probably the outstanding feature of American fore! trade during the last score of years been the marked change that has occurred in its char- acter, the steady decrease in the pro- rtion borne by raw materials and oodstuffs in the total of our exports and the corresponding increase in the proportion won by the products of ‘manufacture.” CRAMTON PROPOSES T0 HONOR JEFFERSON Introduces Bill in House to Name New B Street Boulevard for Former President. Representative Cramton, Republican of Michigan, yesterday introduced in the House a bill to name the new B street boulevard which is being improved from the Lincoln Memorial past the Capitol “Jeffersct _boulevard” in honor of ‘Thomas Jefferson. “It is strange that the Capital City up to this late date does not contain any public memorial to that name of -eminent greatness among the Na- lon’s founders,” said Representative Cramton. “It would seem to me to be tal prominence in the plan of the National Capital for him, not only because of his pre-eminence as a statesman, with which every American is familiar, but because of his close contact with and great interest in the development of the present plan of the National Capital. “As Minister to France, it was he who brought together the plans of vari- ous Eul’udpeln capitals and qther cities, consulted by L'Enfant. On his return from France he co-operated closely with ‘Washington in the development of the plans adopted. This great boulevard, it Would seem to me, might most fittingly bear the name of Jefferson.” Representative Summers of Washing- ton has introduced a bill to call the highway “Memorial Boulevard.” o WILL TRACE U. S. HISTORY BACK TO PERIOD OF 1814 Program Being Arranged for Ex- hibit Tomorrow Evening in Old Brick Capitol Building.

NEW DYE, CANCER DETECTION AID, DEVELOPED IN PHILADELPHIA Laboratory Head Reveals Secret Use of Stain to Facilitate ; Prompt Surgical Removal. By the Assoclated Press. PHILADELPHIA, May 323.—Progress in the development of a dye that makes 1t possible to detect internal cancers in the early stages of their growth was announced Tuesday night by Dr. Arnold A. C. Butts, director of Emery Labora~ tory, Hahnemann Hospital. The discovery, he believes, provides a method of accurately detecting small cancerous growths and paves the wayv for prompt surgical removal or radium and X-ray treatment of cancers that have not spread too far. The dye, which has been in secret use at the hospital for two years, is used 2t present only as an aid to early diag- nosis. Dr. Butts, who has devoted 13 years to cancer research, said injections of the dye are made directly into the veins of patients. The doses are small and are gently diluted forms of the original chemical, which is a synthetic ma- terial of the Xanthene dye group. The dye, bright vermiilion in_color, has two special characteristics. It has a special affinity for the cells of can- cerous growths, and its color makes the cancerous area loom up clearly on an X-ray photograph. IRUNAWAY ARRESTED IN SELIGMAN, ARIZ.
