Nut Tree Planting
In Front Lawns is
Urged by Growers

Believing the nation could be a
lot more nutty than it is. members
of the North Nut Growers Associa-
tion. wno meet in Washington to-
morrow for their tenth annual con-
vention, are planning a campaign to
speed up production in the shell
game.
Plant nut trees instead of shade
trees in the parks. on front lawns,
and roof gardens-that is the spark
ling idea the nut growers are about
to crack.
Meetings of the growers during
the two-day session will be in the
New National Museum auditorium,
and convention headquarters will be
at the Raleigh.
Arguing that nuts are among the
few vegetable products eaten raw
which furnish complete ration, and
that nut trees grow as rapidly as
ordinary shade trees, members OF
the association will urge substitu-
tion of nut trees for shade trees.
Aside from peanuts, edible nuts
in the United States now have an
annal value of s25,000,000.

President, denying the charge that
the President had promised military
aid to the Rumanians and Serbs.
Spencer made the first attack. In
behalf of the President. Mr.. Tum-
ulty came back with the allega-
ton that it was false. Spencer re.
torted that he did not believe that
the President had authorized the let
ter by Mr.. Tumulty. The Presi-
dent then wrote:
Senator Selden Palmer Spencer,
St. Louis, Mol have just been
shown your statement that my sec
retarys denial of the previous
statement by you that l had prom
ised American military aid to Ru-
mania and the Serbs was issued by
him without my knowledge and
sanction, and that you did not for
a moment believe that 1 had made
any such denial. or that the mat
ter was ever called to my attention
by Mr.. Tumulty. and that l re-
quested him to issue the denial to
which you refer. l reiterate the
denial. The statement you made

Its occupants were disappointed though, if they had hoped to see the green and white sloops under sail. for the wind, variable throughout the day whisked them across Long Island Sound and well over the main land before the balloon had attained sufficient altitude to sight the race course.
 Up to the moment when the starting signal fluttered on the masthead of the control boat lar below the aerial ob- server the swarms of little craft had held back from Ambrose 1ightship out of respect for the formidable fleet of destroyeFs which played traffic police and kept non official boats at a dis tance. Immediately the start was made, however the little boats mere speckse on the water, spread out into fan formation and followed closely On the first leg of the run both boats at times caught enough breeze to mar row the oval of their decks as tss great spread. of sails yielded to a puff of air. Once the challenger, with her green hull churned up the water be- fore as well as astern and on each beam. looking for all the world as though N she were standing still and merely bobbing up and down in the water.
 Neither boat moved fast enough at any time to create a foamy streamef

YACHT RACE IS CALLED OFF WHEN TIME LIMIT EXPIRES

 When the breeze came Shamrock put on more speed and cut the lead down by about two miles. She was still far astern however, when Resolute made the second stake. about five miles off Long Branch. N. l.. and broke out her balloon jib for the run home.
 But it had become obvious that she could not make the remaining ten miles within the allotted time and the spectator craft, including the aiEplanes and blimp, began turning their noses homeward. A few minutes later the committee boat hoisted the no race signal and the yachts were taken in tow for the run back to the hook.
 TROUBLE BREWING
 Sir Thomas Lipton had no comment to make toni ght on the incident at the first stake buoy where his green hulled Shamrock. on almost even terms with the Resolute up to that point suddenly fell behind more than forty minutes and never again was within hailing distance of the cup defender. The Irish Baronet showed no sign of discour' agement He sent his hundred and more guests ashore tonight with cheery work for everybody and a flow of witty stories that whiled away the time on the road home from the course, but he hardly mentioned the cup races
 There were signs on the Victoria, however, that the question of just what happened would be thoroughly gone into before the racers again fight it out for advantage in the getaway. Sir Thomas and his closest practical advisers on yachting matters were in deep conference on the bridge while the Shamrock still battled to round the first stake buoy and follow the Reso- 1ute down the next leg
 There was concern on the part of the Englishman over the steady gain to windward made by the Resolute on that first test. It was not until the Shamrock lifted her jib topsail and the beat to the buoy began that anxiety gave place to rejoicing. for it was then that foot by foot the green boat clawed down the defenders lead

 From a Seaplane Over Racing Course, July H.-Viewed from the air, the race today between Shamrock " and Reso- lute proved more picturesque than ex- citing. The dearest of blue skies. fading through the medium of a veil of light mist into the deeper blue of the sea, lent a lustre to the snowy white of the racers sails. which suggested two costly pearls exhibited on a background of azure velvet.
 Seldom catching enough of the errant breeze to cause more than barely per ceptible list, the two fleet vessels seemed most frequently as fixed and motionless if posed for a photograph.
 Even the sea was hardly ruffled by the air which, while miraculously bellying out the sails, was not of sufficient strength to stir up a single white cap.
 When the race was called off the sun was just beginning to sink into the smoky horizon which Hung over the city and which, during most of the after noon, hid the jagged skyline of the metropolis from the house of the aerial observers.
 Fair weather had attracted to the scene great fleet of vessels of all sizes private yachts which steamed from the mouth of the Hudson River several hours before the beginning of the race or from the direction of the Connecticut shore, excursion boats, tugs and count less sailboats of every description.
 Before the appearance of the two racers, which were tied up during the morning in the shelter of Sandy Hook, the White Star liner Celtic crossed the course and with a blast of her siren, saluted the long necklace of destroyers and tugs making their, way to the cove to escort the yachts to the starting point.e
 The seaplane in which the Associated Press correspondent was sailing was one of a small swarm of such craft circling above the indistngushable triangle over which the yachts were tO race.

 By wonderful batting spurt Iris Speaker. manager of the Cleveland Indians and one of the premier outfielders in the major leagues, has replaced George Sis- Ter during the past week for the swat hOnOrs of the American league, according to averages through games of Thursday re- leased by Irwin M. Howe.
 Speaker's mark is 400, three points ahead of the St. Louis star, who has been showing the way to the American League hitters for several weeks.
 Manager Iris has been cIouting at terrific rate of late. In the recent series between the Wash ingtOn Senators and the Indians, the popular pilot of the CIeveIand- CTS hit for the high percentage of over .7GO. Speaker has been hitting consistently throughout the season.
 The famous OutfieIder, by the way, is making wonderful record as manager by keeping the In- dians right on the top during prac- ticalIy the entire season. He is the idol of the Cleveland fans, and, for that matter, has been for sev- eraI years before he took over the managerial role from Lee Fohl.

 Today's near race was run under con- ditions ideal in every particular, save the essential one of stiff breeze.
