American League
 Tangled Up Again

No change in the National League pennant fight yesterday, but the American leaders are all tangled up again. The Indians, the Yankees and the White Sox are practically oN even terms. Five percentage points sep arate the first and third clubs.
 The Reds beat the Cardinals and held their six-point advantage over the Robins, who easily disposed of the Phillies, 6 to O. The Giants kept in easy striking distance by disposing of the Braves, but the Cubs beat the Pi- rates, to 2, in 13 innings, which sinks the latter a little deeper in fourth place.
 Winning a thriller, to 3, from the Red Sox, while the White Sox were losing to the Browns, put the Yankees in second place again, and as the In dians lost a 1 to 0 heartbreaker to De- troit, the New Workers are only 8 per centage points out of first place. They have won two more games than the Indians, burt have lost two more.
 Much depends on the double header today in Boston!

FOREIGNERS TO STUDY TRADE IN
 UNITED STATES

The Republic of Venezuela has been invited by the School of Foreign Ser vice, Georgetown University, to de- signate two students for one year or one student for two years whose edu- cation for that period shall be with out charge.
 This invitation is an acknow1edg- ment of the courtesy shown by the Venezuelan Government to the Amer fcan students sent to Venezuela by Georgetown University to study for eign languages and foreign trade at first hand.
 'sWhen the party of Georgetown students arrived at La Guayra on June 26," says the National Foreign Trade. Council, ''it was greeted by committees representing the Minis tries of the Exterior. of Public In- struction, and of Public Works, and also by the Association of Venezuelan Students. The Americans were law ishly entertained and the entire stay in Venezuela was conducted under the auspices and at the expense of the Venezuelan Government. The leading newspapers of Caracas commented on the visit most favorably, and many prominent personages extended hos pitality to the American students"
 So successful has been this tn~p in providing the students with practical training and in tightening the bond of intellectual and commercial friend ship between the United States and Venezuela that Georgetown University is contemplating expanding next years program to include two such trips to foreign countries, possibly one to Columbia and one to Argen- tina

Pfeffer'S Fixtures
 Sell Cheap in Chicago

Chicago, Sept. fired Pfeffer, sec ond baseman of "Pop'' Anson's fla nous White Stockings of a decade ago, and intimate friend of Billy Sun day, the evangelist, has closed up his well known "aIley barroom'' and sold the fixtures for $1.50. These included a photograph of Sunday and 450 Billy Sunday labels for Pfeffer's favorite brand of whiskey.
 The bar was located in, the alley directly behind McVicker's theatre, in the heart of Chicago's loop. To get to it one had to tramp through the alley for half a block.
 Pfeffer and Sunday always visited each other when Sunday came to Chi cago and would recount events of their baseball careers when they play ed together on the Chicago team. When whiskey became so scarce and prohibition agents so plentiful Pfeffer offered his barroom for sa1e

AMERICAN NEWS IS DISTORTED IN
 FOREIGN PAPERS

The need for more reliable distri- button of American news to foreign papers is striking1y evidenced by the transformation about this country
 constantly reported in the foreign
 press. Murders, robberies and dis
 turbances of all kinds~ are given
 prominence; while important and
 favorable news is omitted or distort-
 ed. Such a situation reacts most un-
 favorably on American foreign trade.
 The chief foreign press agencies,
 says the National Foreign Trade
 Council, are operated semi-officially,
 and with strong national bias. If their distortions. of American news
 are not intentional, it is certain that little attempt is made to circulate in formation that is worthwhile, accur- ate or fair to the United States.
 A recent example is found in the active hostility aroused in Australia and South America by false reports on the operation of the Webb Law. It ufacturers had banded together under this law to dump their products abroad and to dominate foreign mar kets through unfair methods of com petition. As a matter of fact, less than half of one per cent of Anne er- l ican manufacturers are operating un- l der this law; and the Federal Trade Commission is empowered by this | law to prosecute any American for I eign trader in any part of the world | who employs unfair practices in his | business.

MONGOLIA WILL BE RE0PENED TO
 FOREIGN TRADE

Urga, Mongolia, Sept. 4.-"Mongo- lia, restored as an integral part of the Chinese republic, will soon be opened to foreign commerce with equal opportunities to all nanons,~ said General Hsu Shu-chen, comman- der of China's frontier defense forces in Mongolia, to the Associated Press correspondent, enroute to Siberia through Urga.
 It was General Hsu Shu-chen's army of 10000 men marching 700 miles across the Gobi Desert in the winter of 1918-1919 which occupied Urga and put an end to the political power of the Buddhist priests whose leader, termed '.the Living God'' then ruled Mongolia as an autono- nous state.
 "All Mongolian-Russian treaties, granting special privileges to Rus sians in Mongolia, have been abrog- ated," continued Little Hsu,'' as he is familiarly called to distinguish him from President Hsu. "Kiachta, al- though a Siberian city, is still garri- soned by Chinese troops because Kol- chak's representatives asked sthe Chin csc to protect them from the Reds and the date of withdrawal has not yet been decided.'' General Hsu stated that China was not at all interested in the internal agairs of Russia and that Russians taking refuge in China were all treat ed alike regardless of their politica affiliations, subject only to Chinese law. He added that all Chinese l troops would eventually be withdraw | from Russian territory but that sub | stantia1 garrisons would be main 1 tained on the Mongolian border.

UNIONS IMPOSE ''ExPORT TAXI IN
 BUENOS AIRES

Buenos Aires, Sept. 4-Unions of 1aborers connected with port activi- ties in Buenos Aires and other ports Of Argentina have imposed upon ex- porters their own private export tax'' as a means of maintaining ex- tens1ve boycotts now in force against exporters and shipping companies, packing house establishments here to Minister of Finance Salaberry. At the present time more than 100 export ing firms are under boycott,-in addi- ton to the powerful Mihanovich Company, owner of most of the river and coastwise shipping of the coun- try.
 A committee representing meat and hide exporters told the Finance Min ister that the dock laborers were re- fusing to load their overseas ship ments unless the shippers made a con- tribution toward the support of the union of $7 for each 200 bales of wool and $3.50 for each 100 casks of ta1low and like products.
 The delegation pointed out that these contributions could be called 3extra official export duties' and that some of them have been demanded since last May. It was stated that be- fore any shipment can be made, ap- plication must be made to the labor union officials and that several days often elapse before the realistic uthority'' is allowed for embarl1ing. The Minister was told that in some cases the unions have demanded to see the exporters books in order to | make sure that none of the produce to be exported came from any firm under boycott.
 l A list of 106 exporters was sub | mitted to the government and it was pointed out that while there are more l than 22O,0O0,000 pounds of unsold wool in the country and more than l 100000 hides, most of the leading exporters of these products, whose l services are needed in relieving the l congestion, are not allowed to do bus l mess on account of boycotts. l The boycott of the Mihanovict | Company has held over 200 vessels
 in port for six months. Efforts ot | the Government to settle the differ. l ences between the company and tho workers have not met with success l Meantime the losses to domestic com l merce have been enormous.
 Speaking in the Chamber of Depu 1 ties, a representative from the Prov 1 ince of Entre Rios, largely depend i ent upon river transportation, de clared that. the apparent object O
 the maritime workers was to obtain l control of the country's water trans port. '"They publicly announce," ht said, "that the boycott is not a strikt 1 over wages or hours of labor. The! l talk about the social movement, es pecial1y that in Germany and applaud ] the one that has taken place in Rus I sia, declaring that the maritime strik'
 has nothing less for it's object thar the socialization of the transpor l services"
 | During the months of the boycot the Mihanovich Company has beer
 able to return to service a few of it
 boats by transferring them to tn
 Uruguayan or Paraguayan flags. Sev 1 era1 cases of violence against tn
 members of the crews of the vessel
 so changed have been reported. I
 is said that among the damages in
 cured has been the loss of a larg l part of the orange crop from tn region along the Parana river.

THE WONDER OF EGGS

One cannot find among the mulrf- tude of wonders in nature anything more marvellous than the develop ment of an egg, writes Elsa G. Allen in the American Forestry Magazine Whether it be a butterfly which flour ishes for a day only to die after de- posting it's eggs, or a reptile which lazily leaves it's eggs with only the warm sand to mother them, fish like the salmon, which, with incred- ible strength, jumps the rapids to spawn in 1.-the upper reaches of rivers, or most appealing of all, a bird which builds a beautiful nest for it's treas ures, the egg in every case is struc- tura11y the same, and the miracle ot life unfolds according to the same laws of cell division.
