ADMINISTRATION" MEASURES
| Only few Of the so-called 'administra-
ton measures have appeared thus far in
the session. bill has been Introduced to
include tho commissioner OF agriculture
Oh the Board OF Control; another to give
state pay to drafted men and women in
tho army, navy and marine corps; and n
third tax relating to tho transportation
and board pupils,
1t Ia expected that there will be u bill
making certain changes In the auditing
system, and probably measure to do
away with certain institutions. OF to con-
solidate and centrallxe some Of the insti-
tons Of the State. Some sort of a work.
mems compensation act Is also looked for.
There Is talk Of bill requiring cream
cries to weigh their output on scales that
shall pass the inspection Of the depart
ment OF weights and measures. and 2lsc
also to compel sca.enAkers to submit tc
this department their scales before they
are offered for sale. Sucn law Is III
ready in operation in many States.
At the session Of 1ar7, law was passed
authorizing the department of weights
and measures to test gas. electric ant
water meters. 1t was found that this
work required extra equipment which
would cost several thousand dollars ant
the services Of an expert. SO the work haa
never been taken up by this department
1t Is now expected that \ bill VIII be intro.
duced whereby this work will be turnet
over to the public service commission. a,
It Is thought that It can be handled NOR
economically through that body
1t has been recommended that Sec
ton $50 of the General Laws b.
amended, giving the Board of Contro
authority to fix the salaries Of inspec
tors and a bill may be introduced Il
this effect.
Indications point to several bills re-
lating to tho management of State In

Ing to the changing Of certain law
providing for the receiving of inmates

SHOE PRICES TO KEEP
SOARING, SAY DEALERS
Assert That Purchasers VIII Have to
Pay Three to Four Dollars More
For Footwear Next Spring.

CHICAGO.-The rise in the price
of shoes is not over; in fact it hardly
has a fair start Next spring every
purchaser can expect to pay from So
to 81 a pair more.
This statement was made by Off
cials of the Chicago National Shoe
exposition, at the Hotel Morrison,
with $50 exhibits of shoes and acces-
series, which it is expected $500
buyers will visit.
''There is no question the price of
shoes is going up" said Dave David,
secretary. eve have been trying to
get prices for the State street stores
for next spring. 1t seems likely the
price will be from SO to 81 higher
than last spring on calfskin and kid
shoes. There is a better supply OF
coarser leather.
''The increase is due to several fac
tors. For one thing, all foreign coun-
tries must come to America for shoes
and there is only a limited amount
of calfskin. There is a world short
age of hides"

TEXAS HUNTS BOIL
WORM BY AIRPLANE
OBSERVERS COVER LARGE TER
RITORY TO FIND POSSIBLE
SOURCE OF INFECTION.

ZAPATA, Texas.-Hunting the
pestiferous boil worm by airplane is
new sport in Texas, where on both
sides of the Rio Grande, from the
mouth of that stream to Ell Paso, a
search is being made by expert air
observers for fields Of cotton which
may be breeding places for the out
lawed pink boil worm pest. Under
the law passed several months ago
the growing of cotton in certain
areas along the Rio Grande was pro-
hibited because of the danger of boil
worm infection from Mexico. 1t is
to discover whether farmers in re-
mote localities may be violating this
law that the airplane survey is being
made.
In cooperation with the Americans
a survey is being made of the MeXi-
can side.
The airplane on the American side
of the Rio Grande is plotted by w.
H. Tillisch, with E. L. Diven, of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, as observer. On the Mexican
side the aerial survey is being made
by C. A. Castillo, of the Mexican de-
partment of agriculture, and K. H.
Townsend, of the United States de-
partment of agriculture.

NOT 20, 900 WITNESSED
BIG SLUCGING MATCH
OFFICIAL COUNT SHOWS 1860,
INCLUDING ONE FROM DAW-

Exactly 1860 persons paid their
way into the Bay View park arena
July 4 to see the heavyweight cham
pionship bout between Jess Willard
and Jack Dempsey. This number in
Guided one well-known citizen of
Dawson.
Official figures as to attendance
and receipts have been announced to-
day by Frank B. Flournoy, Richards
associate.
The receipts before the government
tax of 1,78994 had been deducted
were $41O,732.16.
There were 292 policemen in the
standium, rs fremen, 600 ushers, so
ticket takers, 20 ticket sellers and
454 press reporters.
The principal divisions were:
Willard, 100000; Dempsey, $27,-
500; arena construction, $150,000;
city of Toledo charity fund, 100000;
total $307,500.
Other charges probably will make
the cost approximately $325,000,
leaving the promoters profits some
what below 100000, Mr.. Flournoy
said.
The arena was constructed to seat
$4,000. Fiournoy announced it had
been sold to the American House

There is nearly 100000 feet of
lumber in the plant. Work of tearing
it down will begin at once.
