EVEN MILLION AND HALF ARE
 IN HUB AREA

BOSTON, July IS (by Associated Press).-A compilation of 1920 census returns covering what is generally known as Greater Boston shows that the population of Boston and it's sub urbs has now reached almost exactly 100000. Unlike most of the larger nexed very little of the territory inn mediately adjoining and has a total area of only 47.8 square miles, as com pared with 287 square miles in Greater New York.
 covering an area within 15-nile radius from the state house, includes 26 cities and towns in addition to Boston proper The 1920 population of all of these except Watertown has been announced and the total is 732,- 541 for the suburbs. Watertowns population as recorded by the state C0uSuS OI ISIO WdS 1u+o1o, SoAA oA 3,640 over 1910. If 1t made similar gain in the last five years, 1t would now have 2O,155 inhabitants. This, added to the other suburbs and to the 747,923 population of Boston, would make a total of 1,500619.
 The percentage of growth of most of the suburbs has been much greater n the last decade than that of Boston itself, due chiefly to the fact that a far larger number of people whose daily business is in this city have found it agreeable to establish their homes outside the city limits. The great majority of the suburban popu- lation is made up of people whose work or business is in Boston. The city of Lynn, with a population ot 99.148. is within the 15-mile limit, but is largely self-supporting through it's shoe manufacturing and other indus tries and is not included in the com pilation given above.

S0VIETS GRAB
 AMERICAN FOR
 TELLING TRUTH

LONDON, July 15 (bp Associated Press).-Royal c. Kelly, an American engineer, recently arrested by Bolshe- wiki authorities as he was about to leave Russia, where he had executed an industrial commission for the soviet government, incurred the dis pleasure of the soviets because he told the truth, plain and unvar- nished," Nicolas Isnard, chairman of the All-Russian Central Council of Trade and Industry, said upon his ar rival here. Isnard fled from Russia, where, he declared, "the misery and dislocation of life is complete"
 The fate of the American has not been learned According to Isnard, Kelly went to Russia in September, 1919, at the invitation of the Bolshe- wiki government, and as an expert on technical and industrial organization was asked to make a complete report to the soviet government 'ton ways and means to save the Russian indus trial situation"
 'On his arrival in Russia, Kelly was received with great honors and excep- tional facilities were afforded him to travel all over the country Isnard said. "He visited the industrial con- cerns of Petrograd and Moscow, tra- yelled to the great textile center of vanoyo-Vosnesensk, and to the coal mines of the Donetz, and completed his trip by a tour of the Urals.
 "Upon his return to Moscow in Jan- uary, 1920, Kelly was lodged in the commissariat of foreign affairs, in the famous palace where other distin- guished visitors later found a sump- tuous welcome and the Kremlin intl- mated it's great desire for his report Here the American committed his first and greatest mistake. In his report he told the soviets the truth, plain and unvarnished The gist of his report was that the industrial concerns or Petrograd and Moscow are ruined con- pletely, and it will need years to get them into some sort of working order The machines and tools are in dis orderly condition, rapidly deteriorat- ing, and many vital parts are lacking. All skilled labor seems to have dis appeared completely. The Donetz coal mines are in very bad position also, and will need two or three years to put them straight The work in the Urals is in a better condition and can be tuned up quickly. But nothing useful can be achieved until all de- crees against property and personal security are annulled.'
 Isnard declared Kelly, in an explan- atorv note. gave extraordinary exam ples of Bolshevik administrative in competence" one of which was that boilers of the electrical station in Pe- trograd were kept going for some time by stoking them with all the great stores of mahogany accumulated in the car-building shops there.
 After this report Kellys position changed completely, Isnard continued, and although he prevailed upon the foreign commissariat to give him permit to leave the country, he was ar rested at the frontier, and since then nothing has been heard about him.

The Whole Secret of;
 A Better Tire Simply q Maeeer 0f tue Makev's Policies

To ascertain what each maker offers one must analyze and test some 200 tires-as our laboratories have done.
 Then it is matter Of combining the best features and building ac- cording to the highest standards
 Once you try a Brunswick you will understand how we have built model tires, regardless of factory expense.
 Yet Brunswick Tires cost you the same as other like-type tires Our saving is on selling cost, through our I. ltion-wide organization.
 We realize that you expect more from Brunswicks, and we assure you that you get it. ONE Bruns- v.-.- will tell you the story.
 And then you'll want ALL Brunsw IS. No other tire, you'll agree, | yes so much for your money.

asked to limit it to the greatest pos 5ibe extent in order to eliminate exist 3ng abuses. On the following day Chairman E. E. Clark of the interstate commerce commission, in a letter to Daniel Willard head of the Association of Railway Executives, urged that the railroads bring down the reconsi,n- nent of cars ito the unavoidable min- mum
 Under the reconslgnment of cars coal pas been held at different points along railroad lines, as well as at terminals, 'or days at a time during the coal short tge emergency. deprivins consumers of
 supply that has been badly needed,
 isdustrial concerns, public utilities and 1ther consumers have had to wait for :oal while these reconsigned shipments Fere standing in cars upon the tracks.
 Although the speculators have been
 ble to obtain only a relatively small
 roportion of the coal output, the effect of their activity has been to further disrupt a situation that for months has affected the nations coal output With an unprecedented demand for coal everywhere, many bidders have been willing to pay whatever price was neces- sary in the open market so as to get coal
 More than 80 per cent of the btumi- nous coal of the country has been moved at low prices from the mines Much of this coal has been handled by opera tcrs under contract with consumers These operators have persistently re- Fused to sell at excessive prices offered them by importunate bidders.
 With the priority orders of the inter- state commerce commission now stimu- lating the movement of coal to the Great Lakes and to New England the bttuminous coal operators believe that the coal shortage crisis soon will be strengthened out.

the federal trade commissions report, which covers the month of April. shows that the average sales price at the mine for SIP operators reporting to the com mission was S3.26 a ton. Although the commissions report does not embrace the whole of the bituminous coal Indus try the commission itself says Tit is believed that the results shown are fair ly representative of the industry"
 The fact -s that the federal trade commissions quoted price, as reported for April, reflects the average that has existed throughout all of the soft coal fields during the entire period of the coal shortage, running up to the end Of this month. During this time the range of prices for coal at the bulk of the mines has run from $325 to si, de- pending upon the relative production cost in different fields.
 SLENDER AVERAGE PROFITS
 These authentic governmental flgdres clearly indicate the slender average of profit per ton realized by the industry as a whole. The federal trade commis- sion gives the average reported mine cost per ton during April as $276 leav- ing margin between the cost and the sales price at the mine of 90 cents a ton. The Commission emphasizes the point that this margin "is not the same as profit for out of it must be de- ducted selling oXpenses interest on bor- rowed capital and other items of ex- pense
 Although the federal trade commission does not say it-for the commission doeA not enter into any analysis of high prices that prevail in some of the open markets-its report reveals to the pub lie that the blame for exorbitant prices lies in the activity of a coterie of spec ulators who have taken advantage of an upset market
 All responsible operators throughout the country have deplored the develop ment of a situation which has made it possible for the speculator to step be- tween the coal producer and Tle con. sumer and to load on prices way be- yond those prevailing at the mines. The lamentable lack of open-top car supply existing since the beginning of spring, preventing the operators from shipping the coal required by the nation, is the factor that has paved the way for the play of speculative prices wherever trey have appeared. If there had been cars enough to carry coal from the mines there would have been no coal shortage and no opportunity for the speculator to step in.
 One factor that has worked to the advantage of coal manpulators in this emergency has been the practice of the reconsignment of carloads of coal for which the railroads are responsible. Under this practice carloads of coal ob- tained by speculators at low price have been started out to an original con- signee, later on the speculator-in the meantime having obtained a better price elsewhere ausing the shipment to be reconsigned to another destination. Tn many instances carloads of coal in this

This you viii realize --o once you ny Brunswick-that a super-tire IS possible o1iy when the name ,erti6es that the maker is follow ing the highest standards. For tire making is chiefly a nac- ter of standards and poicies-cost plus care. Any maker can build good tire if he cares to pay per- fection's price.
 All men know Brunswick stand ards, for Brunswick products have been famous for "A years.
 Formulas, fabrics and standards vary vastly in cost. Reinforce ments, plies and thickness are matter of expense. And these vari- ations affect endurance. It rests E with the maker how far he wishes u go-how much he can afford to give.

 Mobile attracted envable attention in the early part of the week by voting Sl2,500 in twenty minutes at mass meeting to carry the state port aid amendment Mobile will benefit no more from port aid than Birmingham, Tusca- loosa, EutaW, Jasper. And, even though Mobile senses her interests, he who does that and acts practically and promptly to attain 1t with his own means is to be admired and congratulated
 Then they held a waterways hearing down \ there before the United States army engineers and they presented the claims of Alabama water courses for future reference by the war depart ment
 And Mobile has gotten busy to see that the Mallory steamship service between that port and New York is not discontinued by offering use of the city docks. Mobile does not intend to lose ocean rates through abandonment of ocean service
