tournament in which he participated. His playing in that event was re- velation for one so young and of so little experience, In his professional debut he showed a brilliancs of play approaching genius, but he also dis played a split of recklessness which needed restraining. The veteran Mau- rice Daly then took Cochran in charge. and since then he has improved in steadiness.
 Young as Cochran is, he, was just starting his professional career at an age when Willie Hoppe was taking the worlds championship from the French wizard, Vignaux. Hoppe had the great advantage of having been introduced to the game when he was little more than an infant. Hoppe's father kept billiard room,f and Will lie was educated from his childhood with the one end in view of making him a champion with the cue. Coch- ran had no such opportunities for the development of his skill as a had, and in view of his late start, his progress has been truly remarkable. Hoppe saw Cochran in his first professional match, and predicted great things for the Iowa youngster.

producer and the consumer.
 '"The apple auctions under the di- rection of the department stabilized prices throughout the country. The auction sale of peaches held under. the auspices of this department in 1915 prevented many carloads of that fruit from being dumped and wasted. "The problem of distribution of food products in New York and the prices at which they are sold has its origin in the inadequate facilities fol. hand ling them. The method of handling these supplies Is that suited to the village. It is 150 years behind the times, as any one can see who takes walk in the whole sale fruit and vegetable districts, where the produce is gathered in dingy rookeries, which are not in any sense adapted to the purpose for which they are used.
 'The solution of the food problem of this city lies in the direction of a great terminal where the produce of the farms can be brought and dis tributed on an enormous scale, 50 that many of the expenses now incurred will not be necessary. In the course of time I believe that this will be done and in the meantime the department, being unable to organize any compre- hensive plan for the marketing of farm produce generally, has thought it best to make demonstrations in lim- ited fields"

COCHRAN NOW THE
 BOY MARVEL"

As William Hoppe will, begin his thirtieth year next week, it is scarcely accurate to continue referring to him as the Boy Wonder" or the Infant Marvel" The billiard world has new juvenile prodigy, however, in the per- son of Welker Cochran. the Iowa youth who has lately flashed across the billiard Armament like a comet. Cochran may not be another Hoppe in precocity, but he is certainly a right smart lad, and great things are expected of him.
 Cochran will be twenty years lold tomorrow, as he was born Oct. q, 1896, in the village of Manson. Iowa. In his youth he was "newsy" and he began to play billiards about seven years ago, putting in all his spare hours at the green-topped table. The youngster soon made the natives sit up and take notice. He then went to Chicago, where he was instructed in the finer points of the game. The handicap tournament in New York late last year was the first professional

MoROS TO MAKE TILES.

The latest step in the advancement of the Moro is a plan to introduce among these Mohammedans, the art of tile manufacture. A number of Japanese tile makers are to be im- ported into the Moro country. to set tie near schools and settlements for at least six months. They will open tile making schools and 1t is expected that the Moros will soon be able to manufacture roofing tiles as cheaply as the work is done in Java.
 The Moros, like other Philippine tribes, use straw and thatch as a roofing material. It Is not costly but it is highly infiammable and is an in- vitation to destructive fires. Tiles will eliminate the fire danger and no. increase the cost of construction.

pleased at Miss Harrison's friendly
tone, glad that things were all right

put timid hand on the girls arm.

SO far, well enough. The thing that
ranklod and filed him with sense
of failure was Max Wilson's attitude.
1t was not unfriendly; 1t was, indeed,
consistently respectful, almost rever-
entail. But he clearly considered lie
Moyne's position absurd.
There was no true comradeship be-
tween the two men; but there was be-
ginning to be constant association, ana
lately certain amount OF friction.
They thought differently about almost
everything.
Wilson began to bring all his prob
lens to lie MOyre. There were long
consultations In that small upper
room. Perhaps more than one man or
woman who did not know Of KS exist
ence owed his life to him that fall.
Under KS direction, Max did mar
wells. Cases began to come In to him
from the surrounding towns. To his
own daring was added new and re-
markable technique. But lie Moyne,
who had found resignation II not con-
tent, was once again In touch with the
work he loved. There were times
when, having thrnshed a case out to-
gether and outlined the next days
work for Max, he would walk for hours
into the night out over the hills, fight
Ing his battle. The longing was on
him to be in the thick of things again.
The thought Of the gas ONCE and its
deadly round sickened him.

startled, her busy brain scheming
anew. Another element had entered
into her plotting. 1t was the first time
she had known that X. lived In the
Page house. 1t gave her sense Of
uncertainty and deadly fear.

ture of many days to Sidney the fol-
lowing day. They met in the locker
