Coal, Of which there was a shortag pc.
is more plentiful due to the Interstate

in favor Of coal shipments. The con-
anuation of this priority order for an

DR.. Serges Voronoff, who arrived in
New York Saturday from Paris, where
he met amazing success in rejuvenating
men by grating upon them the inter
stltlal gland of a monkey, announced
yesterday that his purpose in visiting
America was to carry the operation a
step farther by using the human inter
stitial gland instead Of that of an ape
or other animal.
He was confident, he said, that he
could graft the interstitial gland of a
man to whom death had come while he
was in perfect health to the body of a
living man with most beneficial results
to the latter, providing he was in a

hopes at least to be able to demon

Academy of Medicine the success which
attends his operation when he installs

DR.. Voronotf began his gland trans
planting experiments in 1916, using
goats and rams. He was still more
successful when he made use of the
higher types of monkeys, and last
fall he decided that man to man

teen say that they have observed no
change; and three say that they have
noted a decrease. One manufacturer
reports that it is his observation thai
labor efficiency is increasing in many
lines of industry, although he has avail
able no specific data for his own plant.
The reasons given for the present
tendency toward increased productivity
per man are varied, but those most
frequently cited are the increase in
the number of applicants for positions
and the change from time work to

MEXICO CITY, July 18-General
Jesus H. Guajardo was executed at
o'clock this morning at Monterey By
government officials. Details Of the
execution are unavailable, but it fol-
lowed the verdict of summary court
martial held at Monterey last night.
1t is reported that Guajardo headed
a plot to effect the release of General
Pablo Gonzalez The execution is ex-
pected to have a salutary effect among
former followers of General Emiliano
Zapata. The latter, a bandit chief IN
the State of Morelos, was killed more
than year ago by Guajardo, and fol-
lowers Of Zapata had been growing un-
friendly to the new government be-
cause it had failed to capture him up
tc yesterday.
Guajardo recently rebelled against the
new government. and it was on this
charge that he was sentenced to death.
He was in command of 1900 men, but 1t
is said that few of these joined him in
the revolt. The general was captured
yesterday near Monterey, after having
been pursued by government forces.
Gonzalez had been arrested shortly be-
fore, and is awaiting trial. Government
officials say Gonzalez and Guajardo had
plotted for a new revolt in Nuevo Leon.

able the Mexican National Railway to

strikers are not permitting trains to
leave Gales said the situation was
one that must be settled between the
railway and the employees and that
the army could not be authorized TO
interfere unless public order was dis
turbed during the strike. Gales, how
ever, ordered the strikers to provide
crews necessary to operate trains car

Cleveland Plants Cut Forces


land factories have cut down their
working forces or reduced their hours
on account of inability to receive mate
rails or deliver products. Coal short
age has diminished production in steel
mills of Cleveland and the Mahoning
Valley on an average of 40 or so per
cent. No plants have closed.
Lack of power has not yet affected
operations except in the steel indus
tries, because virtually all use cleo
tricity from central stations. Brick
yards have been operating about so per
cent on account of the coal shortage
All foundries are slack, and this has
affected automobile plants considerably
Akron tire factories have not been
taking on any men for several weeks,
with the result that tbs forces have
been gradually diminishing. The
boarding house population has been
thinned out and the housing shortage
in Akron has almost disappeared
Production per man in general in
dustry is said to have increased slightly
this spring and summer. Production
per man has increased noticeably in
the building trades, some contractors
placing it as high as 25 per cent.
Many carpenters are out of work
Painters and electricians are complain
ing of unemployment. Architects
and contractors say few new jobs will
be started on account of prices Of
materials and labor.

Labor Scarce in Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA, July 18.-A sligh
decrease in the demand for labor ha
been noted within the last three month
by the employment bureau of the Stat
Department of Labor and Industry.
Kenneth M. Coolbaugh, head of tn
bureau, said to-day the demand still ex
ceeds the supply and workmen have n,
difficulty in finding jobs.
While the car shortage, which has af
fected all local industries, is in larg,
part responsible for a slightly de
creased demand for labor. Mr.. Cool
baugh believes other conditions az
contributing factors. The recent slum
in wool prices has caused so per cen
of the Philadelphia textile mills to re
duce operations to a part time basis
Some mills are reported to be close,
temporarily.
On the whole however, industrial
conditions are said to be good here

PORTLAND, Ore, July 1S.-There
has been little if any decrease in pro.

Lumber mills throughout the state
which depend on rail transportation
have cut down their output or closed
entirely because of their failure tc

transportation is available, are still
rlaning at capacity.
Skilled labor is plentiful in most
Oregon industries, but there is little
surplus. Production per man in Ore

Car and Coal Shortage

supply we would start starving right
now, as no one is prepared"
Inc Public Utilities Commission is
interested in the coal situation here
speculation in coal at the expense of
,hicago citizens may be checked by an
order now being contemplated.
In its investigation the commission
has found that, although the coal
shortage is serious. no men are actual
y out of work here and factories are
iimplng along with reduced produc-
ton: +. II. HARDWOOD, of the Illinois
Coal Traffic Bureau, presented to the
commission figures showing the loss of
time by mines due to the shortage of
cars at the mines. He said that during
the week ended July 3 1899 cars
were ordered by the operators in
southern Illinois and only 7,016 were
furnished. Out of 1896 potential
working hours 1,764 were lost through
car shortage and 1863 due to other
causes.
Mr.. HARDWOOD said ii was his opinion
that there were fewer strikes at pres
ent than any time since the war.
Coal and Car Shortage at Detroit
DETROIT, July 1S.-Detroit has for
many months faced a serious freight
problem and coal shortage. Early in
the year nearly every manufacturing
plant in Detroit was obliged to operate
on reduced hour schedules ION account
of scarcity of coal This condition
however has not been necessary for
several months, although the city has
only about 90 per cent of the normal
supply. Crippled freight conditions
have been chronic for years. Inability
to get the raw material into Michigan
or the finished article out has been a
large factor in the curtailment of pro-
duction to rs per cent of normal The
automobile industries have been the
chief sufferers. Automobile builders
long ago ceased to look to the rail
roads for relief and have resorted to
the Driveway methods. Three thou
sand cars are driven from Michigan
plants daily.
There are but few idle men in De
troit. these being from choice rather
than necessity. Building operations
badly needed, took decided slump
two months ago. caused by inability
to get building material and aggra
waited by strikes of builders, especially
union plumbers.

 The little town of Cuero, Tex, has won fame from ocean to ocean because of it's radius of 100 to 150 miles bring in flocks of birds on foot. The fowls travel at a slow rate during daylight and at dusk instinctively huddle together. while their drivers camp by the roadside until dawn, when the journey toward Cuero, a Mecca of turkeydom, is resumed. The eliminating feature of this event is the turkey parade in which all of the driv CTS lead their flocks through the prsn- tSpal streets of the town. On a re- cent turkey day no less than 5000 birds were in the procession. Following the parade the turkeys are loaded on cars and shipped to markets in all parts of the country.
 There are thousands of communities which might undertake a celebration sim liar to these cited. In some cases the , spring IS the appropriate season, in others the fall or summer is the logical time. The first need is for an association or individual to gather together persons tn- terested in. promoting this idea.

Hodges, in Marion, county. Alabama, IS the home of unique community boys agricultural club which was organized by Marvin Davis, former soldier who fought courageously through the battles of the Argonne Forest and the Mouse Valley After risking his life and caus- ing lot of Germans to lose theirs, all Tn the interests of democracy. Davis re- turned to the United States, was dis charged from the army, and returned to his home with new viewpoint regard- ing country life affairs. Young Davis had formerly attended an agricultural school and was reputed to be thorough ly progressive farmer. So that when he began the organization of the boys club the countryside generally predicted that the society would be of value and interest to the community at large.
 Despite the fact that the district school had closed and the teacher had left TOT his home while the county farm demon stration agent had resigned, Davis or ganized his club, the entire community working enthusiastically behind him. ne offered a free trip to the State Fair as the first corn club prize, while ne1n- boring breeder gave registered DE as the premier pig club prize.
