New York Cotton Market.

NEW YORK. Aug. 23.-The cotton
market opening today was the
strongest and most active in many
weeks. Reports of continued high
temperatures in the southwest, with
numerous private complaints of crop
damage inspired heavy commission
buying, which advanced first prices
14617 points.
The rise, however, brought out
active profit taking and southern
selling. Among the early factors of
strength, besides the weather, were
the strong stock market. firm cables
and active support from the trade.
A good deal of October covering,
both trade and speculative, took
place.
The market at the end of the first
fifteen minutes trading had lost
none OF its strength or activity and
was fully 16q1s points over the
previous close.
Cotton opening prices: September,
1885; October. 1875; December,
400; January. 1412: March 1922;
May 1874; July offered. 14.40.

Maker of Fake
Gillette Blades
Sent to Prison

A decision of interest was re-
Gently rendered by a German
court to the effect that counter
feiters of Gillette safety razor
blades not only injure foreign
dealers selling the genuine blades,
but also compromise the German
reputation in foreign trade.
The court also held that the
word "Gillete," even though the
original Gillette patent on the
old type Gillette razor has ex-
pired, is still an individual trade
mark for the razors and blades
manufactured by the Gillette
Safety Razor Company anC can
not be used by others.
The defendant purchased from
a German cutlery manufacturer
unmarked blades similar to the
well-known Gillette blades.
He then stamped the blades
with the same markings as used
by the Gillette company and en-
closed them in envelopes and
packages exactly duplicating
those of the American company,
even to the mark, made in U.
S. A."
The blades, which were of poor
quality, he sold in Germany and
other countries as genuine Gill
lette blades.
About a year ago $4,000 such
blades were identified as counter
feits while in the customs house
in New York. The Gillette Com
pany sued the importer and the
United States District Court or
dered them destroyed.
After long drawn out proceed
ings brought by a foreign agent
of the Gillette Company and cul-
minating in a criminal action, the
chief culprit was brought to trial
and the Berlin court has just
rendered it's decision, imprison-
ing him for one year and de-
priving him of civil rights for
three years.
His accomplices were given
lesser sentences.

WOrthington Pump Dividend.

Directors of Worthington Pump
Company are expected to meet for
dividend today. 1t is feared in some
quarters that the current IN per
cent on the common may be omitted.
The corporation had a large un.

ginning of the year.
However, this has been almost
wholly used up and the outlook for
the coming months, not so bright. IL
is understood that the conservative
element on the boardd is in favor
of maintaining resources.
The preferred payment is regarded
as absolutely sure. As the dividend
is not payable until September, &C
ton might be held off until next
month.

INTERSTATE HIGHWAY
SYSTEM NEXT IN ORDER
A. A. A. Official Believes Future
Central Funds Should Be
Spent That Way.

If the present Congress should ap-
prop-iate any money under the pro-
visions of what is known as the
federal aid road act. the opinion pre-
walls here that the expenditure of
the joint federal and state money
would be confined to highways of an
interstate character. The House is
more likely to favor an appropriation
than the Senate. as there is an un-
doubted demand from cong -essional
districts in not a few states for more
money from the federal treasury with
which to complete road projects al
ready approved.
While one can appreciate the
anxiety on the part of highway Off
Gals in certain states to obtain need
ed money from the federal treasury"
comments Chairman George c. Diehl
OF the A. A. A. good roads board, 1.-The
plain facts in the case are that any
further money from the central
source demands national use in it's
application. Exactly as states first
gave aid to counties and then ac-
cepted definite state system of in
tercounty roads. the next co-opera-
ton to the states from the federal
government ought to have distinct
connection with an interstate plan of
big highways such as is outlined in
the Townsend bill that has the sup
port of farm organizations, business
associations and the motor vehicle
road users"

portance as indicating a feeling on
the part of these highway engineer
that the open ditch will ultimately
be eliminated on all main routes of
travel.
The unanimous decision that the
deal section should be lighted is also
of great interest to those forward
looking highway administrators who
are now giving careful consideration
20 the problems which will develop
during the next ten years.
One of the most important matters
70 be decided upon by the ideal sec
ton committee and which must pre-
cede any construction, is the cues
ton of cross section design, lie, the
number and arrangement of traffic
lanes to be provided on the ideal sec
ton.
Only One Disagreement.
This was practically the only point
upon which. disagreement was en-
countered. some of the engineers feel
ing that the construction of a three
trafhc-lane pavement, say twenty
seven feet wide, would be the proper
procedure. while others preferred the
construction of four-trafii-lane,
separated by a central parkway to the
end of segregating travel according
to direction. Others were in favor of
separate travel lanes for motor trucks
and passenger cars.
The Lincoln Highway Association is
having competent engineers draw up
suggested specifications for each of
these cross section designs and the
matter will be carefully considered at
the next meeting Of the technical
committee.
The Lincoln Highway Association.
as well as the Office of public roads of
the federal governemtn. will issue
bulletins concerning the specifications
determined upon. which will be of
very wide technical and general in
terest.
