NEW YORK, July 3.-The note worthy feature of the week in the se- curities market, apart from it's ex- traordinary ipertia. was the recupera- tive power manifested in the later dealings on moderate buying of the popular speculative stocks. This was true in equal measure of the bona market.
 Disinterested observers regarded these forward movements as further sign of the markets technically weak or oversold condition.
 Although July disbursements will release some S350 00Q 900 of cash. the rigid attitude of the federal reserve board and financial interests coop erating with that organization remains unaltered. Proof of this was seen in the rise of commercial paper rates to per cent, quotation without prece- dent here since 1907.
 Latest advices from abroad point to greater stringency on London and on the continent. This weeks state ment of the Bank of England was con- spicuous for an abrupt decline in liabilities reserves to the smallest per centage in over half a century.
 Domestic conditions remain obscured by recurrent transportation troubles and further reduction of activity in many lines of manufacture. Crop prospects are favorable. and conserva- tive opinion leans toward lower com modity prices and gradual trade read justment.

IRepublican A. P. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, July 3.-Hearings will be held here this month, to be fol- lowed by others throughout the coun- try, by the United States senate special committee on reconstruction and pro- duction Investigating the nations housing shortage.
 In a statement issued here tonight, Franklin T. Miller, assistant to the committee, declared that coordination of all available statistics and informa- tion is being sought by the committee, and the principal cities from the At lantic to the Pacific are to be visited
 ''In an effort to avert a possible housing panic in the fall, by imn ediate though formal action, Senator Calder of New York, chairman of the commit tee, has had several conferences during the past week with prominent railroad executives and transportation experts and has received assurances of CO., operation said MT. Miller's statement in part.
 The committee is alive to the fact that relief of the present housing con- ditions must come about through con struction work started during July, August and September, and that if the freight embargo against building ma terials persists, relief for the congested districts will, not be achieved during the present year. With Senator Cal der on the committee are Senators Kenyon, Iowa; Edge. New Jersey; Wolcott, Delaware, and Gay. Louisiana.

was busy extracting imbedded cinders from his back and shoulders"
 In the foothills and valleys near Sweet Water dam we found large flocks of California tBobbies' of the topknot species They were playing on the hillsides in every direction, of fering excellent sport IS we had two fine dogs Gotch was an expert wing shot and we soon had our bag limit. Another enjoyable afteynoon in the field, a delightful day in the open.
 Question: What length of barrel do you recommend for trapshooting-2S 30 or 32-inch? What length is used by experts ?-R. w. A. Rosk Island, III,
 Answer: The length of barrel has but little effect on the shooting quail ties of a gun. It is in a great measure matter of preference, as there are many expert target crushers shooting both 90 and 32-inch barrels. think the 32-inch is the most used at the traps The claim is made that they "balance up the shooter" keeping him from shooting too fast on the angle targets.
 Question: What gauge gun would you recommend for trap shooting, zen, twelve or sixteen? I have been con templating taking up this line of sport and want to get off right. Have a ten gauge which was fathers. which has the record of being a fine gun.- Frank H. Martin. Louisville, Ky.
 Answer: Twelve gauge is the only gun used at the traps. Under the prevailing rules the ten gauge are barred, and the sixteen gauge are never used as they impose upon the candidate a handicap, which he can not overcome, hence twelve gauge guns, handling a three dram or twenty -four grain load of powder with one and one-fourth ounces of seven and one-half chilled shot are the stan dard gun and load.
 Question:: What is the best system for money division at tournaments? How will it be capitalized so that a poor shot will have the same chance as an expert Frank Sorenson. Min neapolis, Minn-
 Answer: There are many systems and all have their virtues, it depends on localities. 1 have always been believer in the Survival of the fit test" When a man devotes sufficient time and money to any sport that he becomes expert, it is wrong to contin- ually handicap him to defeat by a novice.

 A roll call on Harrison's motion was demanded and Harrison withdrew his motion. The convention went back to the roll call of states for nominee.
 Forced into it's twenty first ballot by roll call votes refusing to adjourn, the convention still searched for a nominee in vain. The changes of the twenty-first ballot were: McAdoo gained 55 votes, Cox lost 30, Palmer lost 34, and Davis gained IS. Owen lost B.
 A recess to Monday morning at 10 o'clock was again proposed and a de mand for a roll call followed. It failed. On a viva voce vote the convention again refused to adjourn.
 Two Votes for Wilson
 The first votes to be cast for Wood row Wilson in the convention came to- Contrary to expectations, they did not cause any particular demonstration in the convention.
 The twenty second ballot was as much out of luck as all it's prede- cessors- It produced no nominee and came nowhere near making any change worth while. The leaders stood: Palmer, 16615; Cox, 43O; McAdoo, 3731z; Davis, 52; Owen, 35. The changes were that McAdoo lost 23. Palmer gained 221A, Cox gained 4, Davis lost ?. Then there was another motion to adjourn until 10 o'clock Monday morning and it went through without opposition.

l. C. C. REFUSES TO
 MODIFY COAL ORDER

WASHINGTON, July 3.-The inter state commerce commission today re- fused to modify it's order giving ship ments to tidewater of coal for domestic use priority over the movement of coal for export. Modification had been asked by Secretary Alexander, who said the order would have dis asterous effect upon American foreign trade and shipping.
 Tn the letter of reply, the commission declared the order did not impose an embargo against the exportation of coal and that it believed there would be ample surplus for export after the critical shortage in New England and other sections had been met. It added that the order could not be withdrawn until warranted by improved condi- tions

 Stamps Out Yellow Fever
 His work in combating yellow fever in Havana began when he went to Cuba with the rank of major in tho Spanish war. When the war ended he remained as sanitary officer of the is land. Havana had been, for more than a century, the focus of yellow fever in- lection for all of the Northern Hem isphere. When he left Cuba in 1902 the island had been cleaned up and Havana, where previously from 200 to 1,200 had annually succumbed to vel low fever, since has been virtually free from the disease.
 While in the Canal Zone. Genera Gorgas visited Guayaqul and mapped out a plan to rid that city, long known as the ''pesthole of the Pacific from the yellow fever scourge and his plan was in process of execution when the great war began.
 Soon after the United States entered the World war General Gorgas an- nounced the organization of the ex- tensive system devised for the 're- construction" for soldiers crippled il the war which included the establish ment of orthopedic hospitals behind the firing lines n France, reconstruc- ton hospitals in the great centers of America and the retraining of crip- pied men and preparation for resum- ing their vacations or learning new ones.
 General Gorgas reached the age limit while still on duty in France in 1918. When the war was over he was retired from active service in the army ! Subsequently, in 1919 he was head O | the yellow fever commission organ. | ized by the Rockefeller Foundation and in that capacity made an exten 1 sive tour of Central and South America | to direct the work of eradicating vel l low fever from some of it's breeding ! centers, notably in Peru and Ecuador
 King George of England conferred upon him in June, 1920. the decoration l of Knight Commander of the Order O i Saint Michael and Saint George. General Gorgas was born in Mobile Ala, October 3. 1854, the son of a Con federate general. He was graduated from the University of the South il 1875 He was appointed a surgeon Il the United States army in 1880.

75 carloads of merchandise. making a total capacity of 800 carloads for the entire building.
 Merchandise Segregated
 In the operation of the building care will be exercised in segregating the merchandise, the present plan being to keep matches. bags, paper, cereals and galvanized ware on the third floor, a general line of canned goods on the second floor. while the main floor will have all the heavy merchandise, such as rice, beans, sugar, etc The main floor however. will be kept clear for the rapid distribution of merchandise from the railroad cars to the building and from the building to the trucks in the outgoing and incoming channels of trade.
 The office is of especial interest, the lobby being long and wide and the entrance faced with marble. Back of the heavy oak counter is the city saIesroom, containing four desks. Just beyond this is the directors and sales mems conference room. Leading from this room is the accounting room. A large vault is reached from this room. and here also is located the order room, with chutes reaching all parts of the building 4 telephone exchange is in stalled in the city salesroom, with 12 connections to every department in the building, while flanking the wall of the city salesroom are many large sample cases.
 At the left of the lobby is located the information bureau. The glass en- closing the private offices, conference rooms and sa1esrooms is of chipped glass and every arrangement has been made to add to the attractiveness and convenience of the office. The walls of the office are decorated in soft light tints in harmony with the general lighting scheme.
 Floor Area of 72,ooo Feet
 The building has a floor area of 72,OO0 feet, which will give 4some idea of it's magnitude. It has a storage ca pacity of s00.0O0 feet. In the construc- tion of the building more than 5000 tons of gravel and sand were used and more than 1000 pounds of reinforc ing in addition to immense quantities of other building material that goes to make up the construction of a modern building. The plans for the entire building and equipment were furnished by T. B. Stewart, who was also the general contractor. The work of con- struction was started on September g. 1919.
 The floors are of the drab slab type of construction designed to carry a load of 800 pounds to the square foot, with a factor of safety of four, mak- ing possible the loading of the floors to their full space capacity without dan ger of exceeding the strength of same. The first story is built of ornamental stucco plaster, while the upper stories are built of dark brick with white plas- ter belts at each story line.
 On the Jackson street side there are three large steel rolling doors, each of which is IA feet wide by feet high, making it possible to unload three cars at one time from the private spur rail- road track

In the Superior Class.

It takes more than a name to put
things in the superior class. Some
names are fit TO conjure with. Men
are willing to stake their all on what
the men who own the name say. Other
fellows with the same name are sub
ject to ridicule. Names refer to in
dlviduals, but individuals must put
personality into what the name stands
for if they are to be badges of merit.
Plus signs always mean more. It's not
enough to be son of your father In
name. You must be son I'm deeds If
you are to be worthy of him. Leaners
never create Plus on the things they
do. They are too content to pass mus
ter. They must learn to add worth
to the name If they are to belong to
the Standard Plus class.-Grit.
