MARKET BROAD, ACTIVE.
A Considerable Portion of the Trad
 ing was from Professional Sources.


 New York. May s.-The broad and active demand on the resumption of trading today had for its chief incen- tive the announcement that the gov ernment at Washington had decided to accept the submarine concessions con- tained in the recent German note There were other favorable developF ments including the government re- port on winter wheat, which disclosed improved conditions over month ago large traffic gains by western trans portatton lines and. further copper ad- Vances.
 In the early trading Mexicans were irregular tS heavy as a result of ov- ernight advices from across the bor- der, but recoveries in these issues materially reduced losses. In fact Pe- troleum was the strong feature of the final hour finishing with a net gain. Texas Company also improved sub stantially.
 On the surface it was apparent that a considerable part of the days large turnover emanated from professional sources. the short interest being again impelled to cover. During mid-ses- sion rails became very active. notably the Pacific, St. Paul, Atchison, New York Central and Reading.
 The inquiry for these stocks ceased almost as suddenly as it began. how ever, and little of their gain was re- tained.

Chicago, May S.-Chicago and Pitts burgh divided double header today. In the first Williams home run in the eighth brought Mcconnell the hon. ors over Cooper of Pittsburgh in a 2 to pitchers battle but in the second, in which errors and bases on balls were numerous, the Pirates, led by Wagner, drove two Cub twirlers from the slab and helped Mamaux to 6 to victory, despite his wildness.
 A peculiar play occurred in the eighth inning of the second game. With two men on base, Zimmerman drove the ball into infeld Umpire K1em called 1t fair, but Zimmerman argued that it had hit him. Finally Third Baseman Schultz picked up the ball and threw it over first base, two Cub runs scoring. Baird of Pitts burgh was benched for too strenuous argument over strike with Klem. Scores:

After studying the reports of the several eminent engineers who have made full and complete tests, the au- decided that the cracks which appear in the new Palmer Memorial Stadium are characteristic of concrete struc- lures and are of no importance.
 Several weeks ago visitors at the stadium were amazed to see running down the stands wide apertures which seemed to indicate that the structure was on the point of collapse. The Full Ter Construction company hastened to report that the lines were expansion
 racks, which appeared in all concrete structures.
 The university authorities were de- termined to be sure of the building, and \they summoned several engineers from New York and Philadelphia to inspect the stadium. Those engineers verified the report that the marks indicated no signs of weakness.

of the leading men in the industry that cars could be produced fast enough to come anywhere near supplying the demand, and even now every one of the more prominent concerns is far behind in it's orders.
 The unique situation in the motor car industry has been explained by J. Walter Drake, president of a motor car corporation, as follows:
 "Over a year ago when the leading manufacturers realized that there would be an unprecedented demand for automobiles, plans were made to sub stantially increase production to meet this condition. The situation at the Hupmobile plant is typical of that which took place in many of the other large plants. Present automobile prices have been made possible by increased production. We have insisted on main taining Hupmobile standard and rep utation by the use of only the best materials. The lower price was ob- tainable on account of ordering in greater quantities. So we placed our contracts well ahead for materials and parts for the increased production, with concerns which we had dealt with for many years and had heretofore been most reliable as regards delivery We booked an unprecedented number of orders for cars. Tn spite of our foresight, however, two conditions arose which could not have been antic- APc[ICO5 1AoAAASAyg d SECdLGE uGUlduu cars than even the most optimistic had forecast and physical inability on the part of the material and part concerns to comply with the tremen- dous demands upon their capacity.
 races is promised when twenty three cars, tuned to the highest pitch, win be sent away in the 150-miile struggle for the Metropolitan Trophy Cup at the Sheepshead Bay Speedway on Saturday afternoon. Among the juggernauts in the mad whir1 around the two-m1le Speedway track will be some of the most famous pilots in the world.
 Resta, who won fame and glory by his daring driving in the big races on the Pacific Coast last summer. Resta with his car has turned off 1O5 miles an hour in his trial spins on the Speedway track, tuning up for the contest, and he is determined to re- tr1eVe his fame lost in the AStor Cup race last fall, when he was forced to quit with his crank shaft bearings burned out.
 With Resta driving at his greatest speed records should fall in the dust and heat of the strife. That he will be forced to the limit, however. is shown by the fact that Joseph Chris ttaens, who, though comparatively unknown to American race followers, has won many important contests in Europe, whirled around the track for six miles at the rate Of 109 miles aTl hour in one of his practise sprints | last week.
 Cool of head and steady of hand, Christiaens seems to be- at his best when his car is flying forward at it's | fastest pace. He shoots around the turns with never diminishing speed and straightens out for the rush down the stretches with the veIovity of a bullet. ReSta fears him uozS than any other driver in the race.

Lily Bruce was 40, and nobody
thought anything Of her except the
plumber. The boarders all chaffed
her. You know the boarding house
way. Lily was the waitress and she
had been with old Miss Jones for 20
years. We guessed Miss Jones took
her at first because she was cheap
and kept her because she never
asked for an advance. Lily had no
relatives and never went out. She
was 40, had a decided squint, a red,
freCkled face, and carTOtty hair. Also,
she was slOw-witted and couldn't see
a joke. So she naturally became the
butt of the smalI-tOwn boarding es-

The plumber, who was the only
person interested in Lily, was little,
dried-Up man of so. The plumbing
was always out of gear, but old Mrs.
Jones stuck to Sanders for economy.
1t was a poor sort Of economy, to
keep the services of an inefficient
man because he was cheap, but if
Miss Jones had had more sense she
might not have been keeping a cheap
boarding house. Might have got mar
Tied, maybe. But Miss Jones was a
little, withered-up old maid, with no
thought beyond the immediate profit.

Jones dies?" was the question that
began to be asked when it was clear
that Miss Jones was failing.

Sugar Cane in Arizona.

Sugar cane is being raised In Arr
iona for the first time to any extent.
Some 1.2OO acres of the Salt River
valley are under cultivation, and next
season this acreage will be increased
to 5000. This innovation is predicted
to be the beginning Of an extensive In
dustry, as the valley lands of both Ari-
iona and New Mexico are considered
well suited for the growth of cane, and
the higher lands can also be cultivated
where irrigation may be had.
