BOSTON, Mass.— Continued
growth of the activities of The Chris
tian Science Publishing Society has
necessitated expanded facilities. To
meet this condition The Christian
Science Board of Directors of The
Mother Church, The First Church of
Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massa
chusetts, will erect, as soon as plans
and arrangements are completed, a
new Publishing House.
Here provision will be made for
the needs of The Christian Science’
Monitor, The Christian Science Jour
nal, the Christian Science Sentinel
and all other literature published by
the Society.
The new building, which will cost
in the neighborhood of $3,000,000, will
occupy appro¥imately 58,000 square
feet of ground bounded by Massachu
setts Avenue, Norway, Falmouth, and
Clearway Streets, Back Bay. Opera-

ordered a suspension of the pri

the Boerse and announced that
in the future drafts must be pre

STOCKS ON RISE
By Claude A. Jagger
Associated Press Financial Editor
Copyright, 1931, Associated Press,
NEW YQRK.—(AP)——The world
of finance saw a rift in the
clonds Saturday which have gath
ered with the ominous appearance
of forming a storm center over
central Europe.
Securities in the New York and
Berlin markets bounded upward,
Markets in London and Paris
were closed. Nervous tension was
relieved, as the news went around
the world that President Hoover
was discussing with leaders of
both political parties in Washing
ton possible steps to alleviate
economic stress both at home
and abroad, and particularly in
Germany.
The New York stock market
which had been drifting lower
for a fortnight in a state of stag
nation, reaching extremes not ex
perienced in five years, awoke to
record one of the most vigorous
advances of the year. Advances
ranged from 2 to more than $lO
a share. .
MADE JOYFUL
By Edward J. Duffy
WASHINGTON.— (AP) — The
United States proposal for a
yvear's suspension of inter-govern.
mental payments went forth Sat.
urday night to a world already
made joyful by the prospect of a
tonic for its economic ailments
from this side of the Atlantic.
Ever since word Friday that
President Hoover was conferring
with prominent Republicans and
Democrats in congress on the
delicate sityation of international
finance, the announcement of his
plan had been awaited eagerly.
After the first surge of enthus
iasm, it was soon apparent that a
new confidence was threading its
way into the restlessness which
of late has beén a disturbing sac
tions are to be hastened in accord
with the public and private building
program which Mayor James M.
Curley of Boston has been urging in
conjunction with President Hoover’s
recommendations for relief of unem
ployment.
The structure will have a varying
height. The Massachusetts Avenue
end of the building, which will be
used for offices, will be nine stories in
height, while that part which is oppo
site The Mother Church edifice will
be three and four stories in height
and in scale with this edifice.
The publishing building will be re
lated in architectural style to The
Mother Church, and its design has
been influenced by the fact that in
the future it probably will become
one of a group of buildings which will
surround and form a fitting architec
tural setting for the Church. It will
tor in international affairs.
Not for many a day has there
been such -&a distinchchange in
the diplomatic and ancial at.
mosphere overnight., Where early
Friday the doubts and questions
that seemingly had become tak.
en for granted persisted; a fresh
hope now is discernible.
There is yet mno telling, of
course, as to the full etfect of
the President’s plen for helping
Germany especially. But already
it is being heralded as promising
a means by which German buy.'
ing power will be buwarked,
thereby benefitting world mar.
kets.
Reports from abroad evidenced
the eagerness with which the
peoples and their leaders had
been awaiting for a palliative
move from the United States.
The encouragement drawn f\n
Mr. Hoover’s activity was re
flected not only in upswings of
the exchange markets here and
in Europe; but in optimistic .ex.
pressions from governmental and
press quarters as well.
HOLDS ATTENTION
By Louis Lochner
BERLIN. — (AP) — President
Hoover's moves to “strengthen
the sityation” in Germany monop
olized the attention of the gov
ernment Saturday, coming before
a cabinet meeting which had
brought Chancellor Bruening and
foreign Minister Curtius to their
desk at an early hour in the
morning-
Matters of domestic policy were
‘shelved at the cabinet session
which devoted itself entirely to
consideration of this new ele
,ment in the eritical economic sit
uation.
l Official comment was reserved
’and the government appeared to
'be preserving an attitude of cau
tion and reticence pending fur
lther development.
No communique was issued
’after theé cabinet meeting, but the
newspapers were -crowded with
!edltorial comment.,
GREAT SIGNiIFIiCANCE
| *By Alvin Hallman
LONDON.— (AP) — President
Hoover's announcement that Am
erica was considering stretching
a helping hand to Kurope in her
economic extremity was looked
upon by England Saturday night
as ‘having much of the signifi
cance of thg,{ entry of the United
States into the war.
Officially the British govern
ment had “absolutely nothing to
say” butr in authoritative quar
ters the comparison was drawn
between America’'s advent into
the war at a ‘cfitfeal juncture,
and the possibility of her coming
in now to help bridge the eco
nomic crisis.

Special attention will be given to
the installation of modern heating
and ventilating devices. The central

with the beauty and symmetry of the
main building.

The architect is Cnester "Lindsay
Churchill, and with him is associated
Lockwood-Greene Engineers, Inc., of
Boston, who will have charge of the
plant layout. : :
Andrew W. Mellon, American
Secretary of the Treasury, whho
insists his visit to Europe is of a
private nature, is generally assum
ed to have cabled Mr. Hoover the
information on which the Presi
dent acted.
There was no information here
as to the form the American aid
to ‘‘strengthen Germany”’ might
take, but two plans were g§ug
gested — a Mmoratorium on debt
payments and consequent post
ponement of German reparations
payments, or extension of long
credit to Germany.
Since not only the United
States, Great Britain and Ger
many are concerned, but also
France, ltaly, Belgium and other
nations, it was expected here that
an international conference of
some sort would be held to work
out the problem.
Athens Due Wet Summer
If Weather Acts Up To
Habit For Last 82 Years
(Continued From Page One)
However, if June is any sign,
the wet summer is not here yet.
There was a deficiency Saturday
of 2.12 inches for this month, Mr.
Tabor said. The drought began
with June, as May had 3.66 inches
of rainfall—a deficiency of .only
0.02 inches. The total rainfall so
far this year is 18.37 inches. This
time last year the total was 17.82
inches.
Brofessor Tabor says that dry
summers are best for some lands,
and farmers with certain types of
land prefer it for cotton. But for
rich, or highly fertilized land the
crops will’ fare better in wet
summers, he said. -
Better weather should be here
next month, Mr. Tabor stated.
For the past 47 years the month
of July has averaged the highest
in rainfall. People should not get
too optimistic, however, since for
three years September has re
placed July as the wettest month
in the year. For the past two
years the July rainfall has shown
a deficiency. In 1930, July had a
deficiency of 1.72 inches, while
September had an excess of 3.12
inches of rainfall.
Some of the driest Junes that
have been recorded were: June,
1920; 1911, with 159 inches of
rainfall; 1899, with .55 inches;
1898, with 1.53 inches; and June,
1888, with 1.89 inches of rain
fall.
The wettest month in recent
years was September, 1929, when
8.72 inches of rain fell, making
an excess of 5.36 inches, Another
wet month was September, 1928,
when there was an excess of 4.73
inches of rainfall,
