Power and Performance Con.
sidered, "Six" is More Eco
nomical Than "Four"

The fallacous statement that the "Six' burns
more gasoline than -four" originated In the fact
thnt In the past four-cylinder were compared
with sx-cylinder cars of nearly twice as much
power. Compared on an equal footing, as to power
and car size, the economy argument is all in favor
of the six.
While six-cylinder builders arc working toward
greater fuel economy all the time builders OF
Tours are going the other way. The Chalmers
Master Six, for instance, has only 4-inch bore
and 5 IL Inch stroke. a few years ago sx-cylin-
der cars OF equal power had bores of 4 q inch to
6-inch In the Chalmers Master Light Six" which
sells for $500, the motor Is even smaller-only

stroke make for greater fuel economy SO builders

FUTURE CONTRACTS LEGAL
New York Cotton Brokers Win Suit
for $4,000.


New OrleanS.-The United States
court of appeals at New Orleans hand
ed down decision in the case of Ha.
ven & Clement, brokers on the New
York cotton exchange, against D. W.
James of Blakely, Ga.
This suit was brought by the New
York brokers in the United States dis.
trict court at Columbus, Ca, some ten
years ago, and has ever since been
stubbornly litigated through the vari-
Gus United States courts, reaching,
finally, the circuit court of appeals in
New Orleans.
The opinion is of general interest for
the reason that it sustains, in effect,
the validity of the New York cotton
exchange contract system. The plain
tiffs obtained a verdict for $4,000 in
the court below, which was taken I'D
to the higher court for reversal by the
defendant, Mr.. James, on the PROPOSE
ton chiefly that it was a New York
futures deal transaction, and there
fore void. The decision in favor of
the plaintiff therefore in effect sustains
the validity of the future contract sys.

SUPREMElN PUBLIC MATTERS
Measure Approved by Republican as
Well as Democratic Members OF
the Committee.

WaShington-The interstate trade
commission bill, bearing the approval
of President Wilson and Attorney
General McReynlolds was made pub.
lie, following many conferences among
the members of the house interstate
commerce committee. Democrats eX-
pect this measure to command sub
stantial Republican support, and an
effort probably will be made soon to
bring about concerted action between
the senate and house on this phase of
the administration program of COM
merce regulation and antitrust legis-
lation.
The new bill was unanimously
agreed on by it's trainers, subcommit-
tee of Democrats and Republicans,
headed by Representative Covington of
Maryland, and it is approved by viz
tually the full committee.
"The whole theory of the creation of
the commission" said Mr.. Covington,
"has been to make it an efficient, in
dependent body. In most of the mat
tiers of publicity it has entire control
OF the IdCCS SdCn6r0u. HuDllClLy is 16lI
to it's discretion, and the bill contains
ample authority for it to prevent the
disclosure of those necessary trade Sc
crets valueless to the public in pro-
noting lawful competitive business,
but which when disclosed simply af-
ford opportunity for injurious use by
competitors. Powers of investigation,
safeguarded by proper constitutional
limitations against unlawful searches
and seizures, are taken under the con-
troll of the executive and given to this
non-partisan body"
The bill would transfer all the pow
ers and duties of the bureau of cor
porations and the commissioner of cor
porations to the proposed commission
of three members, presidential appoin-
tees subject to confirmation, whose
salaries would be $4,000 annually
each. Only two Of the commissioners
could be from the same political par
ty.

Department of Commerce designated
them to Investigate the charges
against Osmyn Berry, captain of the

spectors at Norfolk after a prelimi-

against Captain Berry included negi-
gance in not reducing the speed of bis

ator the proximity OF other vessels
No charges were brought against
Captain Edward E. Johnson of the
Monroe. Twelve days were devoted
to hearing witnesses and after coun.
sci for Captain Berry had argued his

ions.
The opinion filed by Inspector Sar.
gent was voluminous, going into the

that Captain Berry an dali other

paid $S,6O5.4O; paid for school houses,
$3132O; average salary paid teachers
1922 so per month; value of school
property, $3,575. At that time there
were 62 school districts with 1888
students out of 1868 children of
school age in the county. Nearly
every school house in the county then
was either log one or inadequate

Last year the. total school fund of
the county had reached S35,294 of

average paid teachers was $35.98. Now
there are sc districts with 1924 stu

of school age and the school prop
erty of the county is now valued at
s6S,O0O.
Today, nearly every district in the

TEXAS RANGERS ON GUARD

Austin, Texas.-The entire force of
Texas Rangers, totaling at present fiji
teen mounted men, was assigned to
duty On the 500 miles Of Texas-Mexi-
can border with the arrival of two
rangers at Raymondville, Texas, in
response to an appeal from fifty-three
persons there for protection against
cattle thieves andd esperadoes.
Along with news of the rangers dis
position, Gov. O. B. Colquitt made pub,
lie a lengthy list of the Texas border
troubles on which his appeals for more
power to protect the boundary have
been based and which explain the ma.
ture of the rangers activities
These incidents show the rangers
as peace officers; not as an armed
power which might cause the United
States government embarrassment
The timely arrest of cattle or a
horse thief before he has time to es
cape into Mexico has warded off more
serious consequences, such as the kill
ing of Clemente, Vergara, the Ameri
can, which grew out of horse stealing
The records indicate also that while
many of the lawbreakers have come
across the border in raids from Mex
leo, some mischief-makers have been
residents of American territory in sec
tons where the Mexican population
is large and have used Mexico as g
refuge.

Seventeenth Infantry at Fort McFher
son and Ninth Infantry Ordered
in Readiness.

Washington.-Two regiments Of in
fantry were ordered by the war de-
partment to the Mexican border. The
seventeenth, now stationed at Fort Nc
Pherson at Atlanta, and the ninth, sta
toned at Fort Logan H. Root, Arkan-
sas, will go to Ell Paso and Laredo,
and relieve the cavalry now there.
Col. John T. Van Orsdale is eligi-

Lieut.. Col. Henry D. Styer will be
temporarily in command of the regi-
ment Colonel Van Orsdale's number
will fall to Col. George w. McIver,
now stationed at Manila, P. 1.
The explanations given for the trans
fer of the seventeenth and ninth regi-
ments to the Mexican border are said
to be these:
To prevent Mexican marauders from
crossing over into Texas; to prevent
Texans crossing over into Mexico; to
repay Senator Morris Sheppard of
Texas for his support of the Wilson
administration in opposition to Gov
ernor Colquitt.
Senator Sheppard wanted the addi-
tional troops sent to patrol the bor-
der. Since the dash of the Texas
rangers across the international bor-
der to recover the body of Clemente
Vergara, the American ranchman,
there has been uneasiness in admin
istration circles Serious conse-
quences might follow a dash by Texas
into Mexico or Mexicans into Texas.
Secretary Garrison issued this state
ment:
ITO allay as far as possible the
fears of the people on the border, the
president took up with me the question
of sending some additional troops
| there. AS a result, I have ordered that
the seventeenth infantry and the ninth
infantry be sent there. The seven
teenth infantry is now at Fort Nc
Pherson, Georgia, and the ninth in
fantry is now at Fort Logan H. Root,
| Arkansas, and Fort Thomas, Kentucky.
They will be stationed at present at

ry now at those places will be relieved

Flying Kite Makes Atlanta Dark.

Atlanta.-Boys flying big cord kite
with a long tail and cutters on the
end of it, put Atlanta in darkness for
more than forty minutes and threaten

company showed that the switches at
the Ashby street station were burned
out, possibly because of the extra
heavy load thrown on them when the
kite pulled down wires in the neigh
borhood of the Davis street school.
