Statement to America.
New York, Aug. 9.-Secretary Of
State Lansing and Secretary OF the
Treasury McAdoo held a conference
here in regard to the financing of the
administration plan for the upbulld-
ing OF Mexico.
Secretary Lansing, who has been
conferring with Mexican diplomats in
Washington, arrived in this city and
went TO the Hotel BiltmOre. Nj. Nc
AdOo came from his summer home in
North Haven, Me-, after having con
ferred earlier in the week with Presi.
dent Wilson at Cornish. The TWO sec
retaries were together for more than
two hours.
After their meeting, the place Of
which was kept secret, Secretary Lam
sing hurried back TO Washington
without making any statement for the
press. Secretary McAdoo remained
here. He also refused TO make any
comment on the results of the con-
ference.
From authoritative sources, how
ever, it was learned that the two men
discussed in detail President Will
sons plan for the reconstruction OF
Mexico. Secretary Lansing laid be-
fore Secretary McAdoo the details of
the proposed financing of the war
ridden country and also the extent to
which the government is ready to go
in restoring peace there.
Secretary McAdoo, it is learned, will
approach certain financial interests in
this city with the aim of ascertaining
whether those bankers are willing TO
consider the proposition of lending
money to a new government in Mex
leo. Upon him rests the task of learn
ing whether the bankers will back
such a loan, and on what terms.
Naturally the bankers will wish 70
know exactly what the United States
will do in guaranteeing peace there,
and what steps it will take in sup
pressing any more revolutionary out
breaks.
1t is said that Secretary McAdoo,
after his talks with President Wilson
and Secretary Lansing, can lay def
mite program before the bankers.
1t was reported in one quarter that
the financial group that will be ap-
preached comprise ]. P. Morgan &
Co., Kuhn, Loeb & Co., Ladenburg.
Thalman & Co., Hallgarten & Co.
Speyer & Co., and Hayden, Stone &
Co. 1t is limited that the Guaranty
Trust company may be asked to par
ticipate in the underwriting of the
proposed loan.

Due to Big Acreage.

The increase in the wheat crop is
practically entirely due to the increas-
ed acreage under cultivation this year,
as the average yield per acre is eX-
pected to fall slightly below that of
last year, being put at 1853 bushels to
the acre, where last years yield was
1876 bushels to the acre.
The corn crop, like the wheat, is
threatening to pass another memorable
mark by turning out 3,000,0OOOO0 BUSH
els, the advance estimate now being
2,91S,000000 bushels. This is an in
crease over last years yield of 245,-
100000 bushels. Marketed at 90 cents
a bushel. this crop will be worth ST.
75O. 100000 to the country.
The expansion of the corn crop Is
due at once to increased acreage under
cultivation, and to a better yield per
acre. the acre yield having been in
creased. in spite of the wet weather.
from 25.S bushels to 26.7 bushels. This
crop will probably represent close to
three-fourths the worlds total produc-
ton
Ihe Oat crop, the third Oh tne three

figures being for this year 1,4O2 100000

Arm Action, Body Balance and the

In starting on the track the novice

BILE, without, however, leaning at all
backward, the arms at the sides, with
the forearms in a horizontal position,

feeling Of being "well balanced on his

The weight must be kept on the heels
therein lies the chief secret Of walk

tors, the length and the frequency Of
the stride. Experiments prove that the
length of the stride becomes greater as
the frequency increases.
Arm action should be carefully cul-

to act as levers to lift forward the body.

"LADY LUXURY" A REAL
MUSICAL COMEDY Hi,
Splendid Show at Academy
Witnessed by Fair=Sized
Audience.
From lhe Wilmington, N. c., Star.

Putting the accent on music,
Lady Luxury" is the only musical
comedy to visit Wilmington this
season, and one of the very best in
perhaps three or four seasons. And
the beauty of it is that the show
measures up to the standard set by
the music in every other feature.
Lady Luxury" is unique in sew
eral respects; first in that it has
plot that would stand as cretita-
bic farce without the music: second,
the ordinary slap-stick brand of mu-
steal comedy is entirely lacking,
and yet the whole piece is full of
deliciously funny situations, and,
thirdly, instead of carrying one star,
or near-star," with a bunch of third
rate artists in support, every prin-
cipal, practically, might be rated as
a star, and the entire cast would
hold its own in any company.
There are several fetching chorus
numbers in the music of "Dady
Luxury" but they are overshadowed
by the numerous solos, duettes and
quartettes almost any of which
would grace light opera.
Florence Weber, as "Eloise," has
a splendid voice and uses it very
aptly In her various appearances.
Also, she has most winning per-
sonallty and a stage presence that
hts her ideally for the part she plays.
Forrest Huff, as Sam Warren, has
falr voice, and combines an attrac-
tive, manly appearance with an
eaSy-going style of comedy work
that won for him the unanimous
approval of the audience. Joseph
W. Herbert, as the old uncle, handles
the principal character part without
the aid of any slap-stick efforts, and
puts it across for a laugh every
time, solely upon the merits of his
real acting.
Donald Mcdonald, as Jimmy,
does some clever work, sings fairly
we'll and dances rag numbers SUI
perbly.
The best dancing seen on the To-
cal stage since Ruth St. Denis ap-
peared last season, was by Emile
Lea, who also combines with her to
interpret modern and classic dane
ing, as well as the acrobatic style,
also the ability to sing-her voice
certainly comparing very favorably
with almost any of the average
musical comedy artists.
The best voice in the whole cast
is that of Arther Albro, young
Russian who has an unusually fine
tenor, and whose rendition of
When l Sing in Grand Opera" was
the hit of the evening. In response
to the applause which greeted this
number, he sang "Ridii Pagliaccio,"
from IL Pagliacci" .
The chorus, both men and wo-
men, was one of the best ever seen
in musical comedy. The costumes
aroused the envy of every woman
in the audience, and the staging
was tasteful to the last degree
Lady Luxury" appears at the
Grand next Wednesday night.
