London, May 24.-Sir Edward
Grey, the British Foreign Secretary,
i'll speech III the House of Com
mons today set aside all ideas that
peacc negotiations were possible at
the present stage and plainly reit-
Grated that the position of the Eli
tcnte Allies WAS III no way changed.

Sir Edward declared that it was
impossible 10 consider terms Of peace
without previous agreement be-

pressed the decided opinion that the
hostilitieS had not yet reached Il
stage where it was possible to tax Of

Mr.. POnsonby'S reference 10 the

this attack, while admitting that i'm

that crisis might arise during the
war W hen considerations of etiquette
should not be allowed to sta in the

GOODRICH COMPANY WINS LIE.
GAL FIGHT
In Refusing to Sell League it Protects
Dealers.

1T is because we believe i'll anab-
SOlutcly square deal for the automobile
supply houses says IN official of the
Il. +. Goodrich Company in eNplana-
ton of the victory recently won i'll the
United States District Court in Cleve-
land over the Automobile Co-Opera-
tive Association of America.
There are $1,000 of these supply
houses throughout the country. If
we sold the various consumers leagues
ut our iohhin@ price, and if other tire
companies did the same, it would re-
suit in putting out of business a tre-
mcndGtIS number Of our prosperous
merchants who have invested heavily
in the automobile supply business.

AS VALUE INCREASES

When 4 man owns property, or while
he is paying for it through mortgage,
or even while he has only ali eXpec-
tant interest, lie likes to see it contin-
ually advance in price.
If, for instance, the Jones family
came to these parts at 4 time when
settlers were exceedingly scarce, and
the Jones people were able to obtain
land at few dollars an acre, the
hardships of pioneering were not paid
for altogether by the vale OF the crops
they created. They clung to their po-
session, and as other settlers arrived
the land became more valuable, until
now the descendants of the Jones fam
lily, or the persons to whom they sold
the land, consider it extremely valua-
bic.
Land that once cost a few dollars
an acre in Chesterfield county now
bring S20O-and sometimes
more-an acre, through none of it can
produce more corn, for instance, than
it could Il hundred years ago. The
influx of population, the multiplicity
Of markets and q host of other things
over which the owners Of the land have
no control, have tended to raise the
price.
The other day land in q certain sec
tien of South CaOlina sold for S266 an
acre, and one of the leading news

it would keep it while those who had

ton to own it. courage to try. anc
skill to utilize, would be denied what

There IS another side Of ii that will
have a tendency to keep the value OF
land within bounds. How will man

Giants Buy Benny Kauff;
Sinclair Figures in Deal

New York, Jan. 1S.-It was an
nounced yesterday by Harry n. Hemp
stead, president of the New York Ma
tional League baseball club, that he
had purchased Benny Kauff, star out
fielder of the Federal League, and two
other Federal League players. The
two other Federals purchased by the
Giants are w. A. Rariden, catcher, of
Newark, and Fred Anderson, pitcher,
of Buffalo.
The deal was made through Harry
f. Sinclair. who has held an option on
the services of the three players. The
money consideration was not dlvulged
by President Hampstead. He said that
was secret between Sinclair and
himself. Among the rumors concern
ing the purchase was one that Kauff' s
transfer and services will cost the
Giants $4,000.
Among baseball men it is believed
that Sinclair's action in selling the
players to the Giants virtually ends all
rumors that he was to purchase the
club.

appearance in the first number.
The paper, which contains four
pages, also has an "ad" department,
in which the merchants of the bor-

RARY ROXES

"In practically all South American
cities are windowless buildings, with
apertures wide and deep enough to per-
NIT the placing there of an unwanted
baby. The little one is dropped in the
open side of half-barrel or box Just
within the aperture. The one putting
in the baby cannot be seen. The barrel
is rotated on the inside, the baby taken
out and no questions are asked. The
barrel is then made ready for the next
arrival. These babies are usually put
in at night. In one of these institu-
tions the babies were said to die off
like flies. This is not true of all, for
the general plan is to care for the chill
dren until grown and then place them
out. The Society of Public Beneficence
is reported as responsible for the main
tenance of many of these buildings, and
charities similar to this are supported
in part by the profits on the public lot

NOVEL POWER-DRIVENC CYCLE
OF SIMPLE CONSTRUCTION

Several interesting features are en-
bodied in lightweight, power-driven
bicycle which was introduced at the re-
cent Chicago motorcycle show, and is
described and illustrated in the No
vember Popular Mechanics Magazine.
1t is built especially for the person
who needs an efficient and compara-
lively inexpensive conveyance of very
simple construction. The power plant
consists of 11a-hp. motor mounted in
the front wheel, which is made of
pressed steel. A gas tank of 1-gal. ca
pacity, sufficient for 100 miles, is
clamped to the handlebars. The front
wheel is fleXibly attached to three
stem fork and directly connected with
the motor by means of compensation.
The advantages cited for the driving
arrangement are that the weight of
both the rider and engine is equally
distributed, and the vibrations of the
motor are not communicated through
the frame. A speed range of from to
20 miles an hour is provided. The
cycle has a wheel base of 43 in. and
weighs lis pounds.
