MONTREAL.—One of _ Canada's’ brighest trade prospects beckons from Latin America. In normal times the aggregate of the Dominion’s business with the countries of Central and South America is approximately $100.000.000, taking imports and exports together. Even in a sub-normal period such as the fiscal year of 1929-'30 the total was | £80.000,000, with a favorable balance for this country of about $5,000,000. In practically all of those countries there is friendly feeling for Canada, and there is abundant reason for belisving | that with the return of an active buyers’ market the Dominion can count upon a growing business with the Southern na- tions. Several factors have contributed to stimulating their friendliness toward Canada. The persistent and tactful efforts of the trade commissioners may be credited with valuable results; the | established integrity of Canadian busi- ness men is another factor: a notable gain in prestige followed the visit of the delegation which attended the Brit- ish Empire Trade Exhibition at Buenos Aires last Winter; and possibly of more importance than all these agencies has been the publicity directed during the four years by the Department of Trade and Commerce.

The auction today was to clear up the estate of the 18-year-old cat, whic! died last April of a heart atlment. The crowd at the sale was larger than most of those which have attended auctions at homes of several motion picture personages. Auctioneer C. H. O'Connor said that | more than $8,000 was realized from the sale. The house has been leased. Many in the throng frankly came to see how a wealthy cat's residence would look. They were especially inter- ested in the Angora's private boudoir, and the elaborate runway which her mistress had constructed so the cat could enter and leave the house at will without recourse to the usual openings. Dr. Cein left the cat and its estate under care of Mrs. Pauline Goetz, the physician’s companion. Most of Dr. Cain's $265.000 estate went to charity. The cat’s estate goes to Mrs. Goetz.

By the Assoclated Press. ‘With congressional approval probably necessary, President Hoover's proposed move to strengthen railroad b.onfll and, Indirectly, small savings banks, may be deferred for some time. ‘The Chief Executive and his advisers have been giving intensive study to sev- eral approaches to the preblem, but no plan has been evolved yet. Among those which he has considered is & proposal for a revolving fund from which loans could be made to the car- riers. The fund would comprise both | private and Government capital. Some Losses Written Off. As railroad earnings have decreased he last two years, with a consequent loss in value for their bonds, both sav- ings banks and insurance companies have been affected. Unless earnings in- crease sharply before the end of the year, the bonds may be removed from the lisi of preferred securities in which savings banks and insurance compa: are permitted to invest under State aws. Some improvement has bjen obtained already through State ban{ ng depart- menis enabling the banks to retain the bonds and write off losces over a period of time, but President Hoover tndicated recently that he pladned a more em- bracing action. L C. C. Decision Awaited. While the Plesident's study goes for- ward, the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission upon the rail- roads’ request for a 15 per cent in- crease in freight rates is awaited as pos- sibly offering & helpful solution. It is expected at any time. In the course of argument over theé petition, the carriers won support from the savings banks, which contended the increased rates would strengthen their position. Gasoline prices in Finland have been raised to 27 cents a gallon.

Boisfeuil- let, , TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1 Science Submarine Mosquito Larvae Imported by Scientist, A hitherto unknown species of mos- quito whose larvae live under water— not on the surface, as do other mos- quito larvae—is described by David H. Graham in the Proceedings of the New Zealand Entomological Institute. As soon as the eggs are hatched the larvae of this species sink to the bot- tom and, because of their unusual body mechanism, can stay below almost in- defintely. Graham kept some for 36 days under a film of oil, in a jar con- taining no food, before they died. Larvae of another new species will live for several days in soft mud, re- gaining their activity when rain falls. This same species can be kept alive in salt water if the salt is added gradually. Graham describes still another new species of mosquito in New Zealand which attacks dairy cows and sheep, but never bites a man.

PARIS, France, October 10.—Two British confidence men, Charles Spen- | cer and John Davey, were condemned to six months’ imprisonment by a Paris Police Court for having swindled a young Chicagoan, Richard Farnsworth, of 25,000 francs (about $1,000) in Paris a few weeks ago. Farnsworth met a charming young Englishman in a cafe. Later they both met a respectable elderly English gen- tleman, who explained his charitable purposes and asked the young men to { help him. They agreed. To show, on such short acquaintance. how much they all trusted one another, the Eng- lishman gave his wallet to Farnsworth, who walked around the corner with it and then returned. Farnsworth, in turn. gave his wallet to the English- man. who also walked around the cor- ner, but did not return. At the same time the other Englishman excused himself and disappeared. Farnsworth complained to the po- lice. The two swindlers were caught a few days later and still had 20,000 francs (about $800), which Farnsworth claimed. The French court held that it must first be proven that this is really Farnsworth's money, for other- “ise it reverts to the statf. i 1,500 CANES DISPLAYED | Exhibit Is of Wood Rather Than | of Walking Sticks.
