NOTE DECREASE IN HORSE POPULATION Shortage of Financial Return for Breeders Is Reason Chicago, July 24.—The tendency to- ward decreased horse breeding be- cause of small financial return prom- ises a shortage in the horse popula- tion of the country unless measures are taken to rekindle interest in that business, the National Institute of Progressive Farming has asserted in announcing a survey of the horse situ- atlon. It quoted figures of the U. §. department of agriculture to show | that there has been a decrease of about 60 per cent in the number of stallions in service 1in ‘the United Btates since 1915, a decrease of 913,- 000 horses on farms between Jan. 1, 1920, and Jan. 1, 1922, and a de- crease during 1922 of 208,000 horses. Government figures, as quoted by the Institute, show that the monetary loss for horses last year was $29,180,- | 000 and for mules $8,848,000; that horses under one year old had de- creased gradually in value from an average of $47.95 in 1914 to $20.12 in 1923; one and under two years from $74.87 in 1914 1o $40.98 in 1923, and two years and over from $119.77 in| 1914 to $75 in 1923. This depreciation | in value, and high costs of breeding, according to the Institute, have been largely responsible for the fact that many importers, breeders and show- men are seeking other lines of busi- ness, There were 19,766,000 horses on farms and ranges in this couatry in 1920 with a per capita value of $96.51 and a total vaiue of $1,907,646,000, the Institute pointed out, quoting gov- ernment figures again, compared to 18,868,000 head in 1923 with a per capita value of $69.756 and, total value of $1,314,956,900. The aggregate value of both horses and mules fin 1922 was $1,826,000,000, compared to the 1916-20 average of $2,758,000,000. SEEKING STANDARD NAMES FOR PLANTS AND FLOWERS Reports on the Subject Have Been Re- ceived By American Nursery- men’s Association. Chicago, July 24.— The chaotic state of affairs In the miscalling of names of flowers, plants and other perennials, has made necessary the}‘ standardization of their names, and a report on the subject has been adopt- ed by the American Association of Nurserymen. The compilation of names of these perennials, the result of more than five years of actual work on the part of the sub-committee of the Ameri- STANDARD SIZE BRICK Uniform Six to Be 8 Inches by 8% Inches by 2% Inches, According to Manufacturers. Cleveland, July 24.—Through the good office of Herbert L. Hoover and the simplified practice division of the department of commerce, the brick industry has been enabled to sweep away an infinite variety of odd sizes of brick and establish one standard size for the seven billion bricks pro- produced every year in the United States, according to the Common Brick Manufacturers assoclation head- quarters here, This size is approximately 8 inches by 8% inches by 2% inches. The only exception now to be allowed is in the | case of smooth faced brick for special exterior use in which a very slight variation in one dimension only is permissible. | The common brick industry estab- | lished the standard size some years ago, but expgrienced trouble because its standard was not iffsisted upon for public work by many architects. ‘With the government now definite- | ly supporting the industry in its ef-| | forts to standardize its product it is| expected that before long all specifi- cations will call for the standard sized brick, to the great benefit not only of the brick industry but to all users of the product.

SPAIN DISTURBED IN MOROCCO FEUD Fighting in That Conntry Unpopu- lar With Many Nationals London, July 24.—Spain is facing R grave crisis over the uioroccan sit- uation, says a Reuter dispatch from Madrid. The problem appears every day to be farther from a solution. The situation is extremely delicate, ang the abortive attempts which have been made to arrive at a bloodless The Moroccan campaign is unpop- ular in many quarters, the corres- pondent continues, and the vaclllat- ing policy which has been the out- come of many recent changes of gov- ernment has so far produced no defi- nite results. The territory lost in 1921 has never been entirely reconquered and the civil protectorate which was declared last February exists in little more than name, inasmuch as the Riff leader, Adbelkrim, is still in posses- sion of a large portion of the zone and has been able to make his own terms with the Spanish in regard to the release of prisoners. The government's policy was to re- orgarize the army and make a dete- mined bid for the conquest of the zone, but the recurring demands in the press for the cessation of hostili- ties and the punishment of those re- sponsible for former defeats forced it, for a time, to abandon the idea of fur- ther aggressive action.

Belgrade, July 24.—The movement ' for prohibition is strong among the students of Serbia, especlally in the higher schools, and a number of demonstrations in favor of absten- tion from alcoholic liquors are planned for this summer. It is estimated that 80 per cent of Serbian students are total abstainers. The government views the move- ment favorably.
