BIRMINGHAM. Ala, oct. 26
CUnite dPress) The Negro must be
given chance TO make good. Pres
ident Harding declared in a frank
discussion OF race problems in the
heart OF the South here today.
The black man. ne said. must be
given political and economic equal
ity as a matter OF justice and ma
tional welfare.
Surely we shall gain nothing by
blinking at the facts" President
Harding said in bringing up the sub
iect in his main speech at the Bir-
mingham semi-centennial celebra-
ton.
Political and economic equality,
he explained, does not mean social
equality. on the other hand he
urged that both sides recognize the
absolute divergence in things So
cial and racial"
II plead with my own political
party to lay aside every program
that looks TO lining up the black man
as a mere political adjunct" the
President said. The South should
cease narrowing the Negroes political
right Harding added. The real men,
ace. he warned, lies in forcing po-
litical solidarity on the Negro. The
Negro the President continued.
should seek to be the best possible
black man and not the best possible
imitation OF a white man."
Racial amalgamation there can
not be- he declared.
Hardings speech bristied with
straight talk on the race question
and he warned the South that II il
wishes to keep its fields titled and
its industries humming It must deal
fairly with the Negro or he will mi
CRATE to the North and West whore

President Harding also turned his
fire on "demagogues who would ar
ray class against class" denounced
the political practice OF catering to
/ the "labor vote, the business vote
the Irish vote, the Scandinavian and
the italian vote and so on"
President Harding's plea for eco

Negro brought only dead silence
from thousands Of white listeners
whose Numbered cheers Of only
few minutes before still rung in hi
ears.
The Presidents ire was frankly
stirred up by this apparent cold.
ness.
During one tense pause he squared
his jaw and pointed straight at the
white section Of the crowd.
Whether you like II or not. un.
less our democracy is a lie, you mus
stand for that equality" he declared
referring to political equality.
The Negro section cheered loudly
but there was only silence from the
white portion.
When Harding reached the part OF
his prepared speech that touched on
the race question, he turned to the
Negro section.

Cummins maintains that II the
transportation act had become law
in the form in which II was enacted
by the Senate. the country would
not now be facing the danger OF a
general strike.
The Senate bill contained a pro-
vision making in unlawful for two
or more persons, whether officials
or employees Of a roadH to enter into
any conspiracy, combination or
agreement substantially to hinder.

trains or other facilities OF traspor-
tation.' Severe penalties were pro-
vided
This provision. commonly known
as the "anti-strike clause" was bit
terly fought by organized labor. It
was rejected in the House and
eliminated in the conference agree
ment on the bill.
There will be no emergency
legislation attempted TO meet the
present situation" Cummins said.
But II the strike does come. 1t
seems certain that there must later
be some changes in the law that
would prevent such a recurrence.
"At present there is no penalizing
provision in the law TO give force

Board. Lawyers differ as TO whether
its decisions can be enforced by in.

Already at least two roads have
refused to obey its orders and have

Now the employees refuse to

Accurate weights cannot be obtained on scales that are out of repair Wagon scales should be inspected fire. quently by a competent inspector and care should be taken to see that they are in proper adjustment and balance before weighing any lot or load of hay.
 Care must be taken also to see that the load is in proper position upon the scales. The load should not bind upon the scale box or building, and if the team exerts any effect upon the load it should be unhitched.
 When obtaining the tare weight the weigher should be certain that the wagon contains the same equipment as when the gross weight was Ob- tained. A good rule is to remove ev- erything but the necessary equipment from the load before weighing.
 Keep Bale Check When Loading.
 If the producer or shipper loadS the hay directly into the cars care is espe- cially necessary to compute the total NSlSll dTC ly distributed in two or more cars because of the variation in the qual- ity of the hay. If the bales are tagged, a careful record should be kept of the bales placed in each car. If not tagged, the part of the load placed in each car should be weighed separately. A careful check of the total number of bales placed in each car should also be kept so that the shipper may have the proper data upon which to base a claim should any loss occur while the hay is moving to market.
 The following suggestions, if fol lowed. will greatly assist in eliminat- ing some of the troubles caused by improper weighing methods:
 When using tag weights record the actual current weight.
 Have wagon scales in proper adjust ment and balance.
 See that wagon contains same equip ment when weighing both the gross and tare weight.
 When loading two or more cars keep careful record of hay loaded in each car.
 Always keep a bale recoru, together with weight record, of each car.

loss. Labor devoted night and morn. ing to milking and feeding cows and charged to them would be entirely lost if the COWS were sold and noth- ing supplied to fill in the time.
 The fact that the hogs or the corn crop bring in the most net money dur ing the season is no reason for assum- ing that all the activities of the farm in the future should be devoted solely to hogs or corn. It may be that the keeping of cows Is partly responsible for making the hogs so profitable, or that the growing of wheat, clover, or other crops in rotation with corn makes the latter crop much more prof. itable than it would have been if grown alone.
 Similar conditions will be met with on all farms, and, therefore. no sud den changes should be made on the basis of what a single years accounts may indicate. All angles of the en- terprise should be taken into consid- eratiOn.

U, s. Gasoline Consumption.

Washington, D. CA continuation of the decline in the production and supply of gasoline is indicated by a statistical statement just issued by the United States Bureau of Mines, in which it is shown that the nations stock of this fuel on July 31 amounted to 684, ,236,695 gallons as compared with a supply of 75O,644,45O gallons at the beginning of July.
 Gasoline was produced to the amount of 419,641,815 gallons in July by 299 petroleum refineries, having a daily ca pacity of 1,721, ,55O barrels of oil. This is a decrease from June of eleven plants and 3S,225 barrels of daily ca pacity.
 The daily average production of gas oline for July was 13,536,833 gallons, which is a decrease from June of 807,- 980 gallons per day. This is, however, an increase of 196,542 gallons over the daily average production for the year 1920.
 Exports of gasoline for July amount ed to 27,382,798 gallons; shipments to insular possessions were 2,036, ,39S gal Ions; imports were 1,127,704 gallons; and the domestic consumption amount ed to 57,758,O7S gallons.
 For the month of July the daily av- craze production of gas and fuel oils was 1,500,000 gallons smaller than the production of June. Stocks of these oils were increased during the month of June by approximately 20,00O,0O0 gallons.

CPrepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)
 A great deal of trouble and none tary loss sustained by producers and shippers in marketing hay has been found by the bureau of markets and crop estimates, United States Depart ment of Agriculture, to be due to careless weighing.
 Weighing by the Bale.
 In several sections of the country it is the custom to weigh hay by the bale at the time for baling and to note the weight upon a tag made of card board or other convenient material at- tached to the bale beneath one of the bale ties. When weighing by this method great care should be taken to weigh the hay accurately. During the rush of baling operations sufficient time is frequently not allowed for the scales to come to a balance and there may be as much as ten pounds diff ference between the actual and the catch weight.
 Special care should also be taken in writing the correct weight upon the tag, say the bureaus specialists. It is the common practice in some sec tiOns to use only numbers ending in 0 or 5 in recording the weight, and to give or take from the actual weight sufficient amount to make number with such an ending. For example, the weight of a bale weighing 67 pounds is written as 65 pounds and that of one weighing 68 pounds as 70 pounds. The tendency, however, is ito take" more frequently than ito give" so that it is a better practice to state the actual weight upon the tag.
 Another practice which is often charged back to the producer in low CT prices or in weight claims, disprO- portionate to the actual loss, is the use at much later date of tag weights placed upon the hay at the time of baling. Unless hay has been thoroughly cured and has been in the now or stack for a considerable time there is likely to be a loss in weight while hay is in storage after baling, due to additional loss of mOis- ture. Each purchaser desires, and has a right to obtain, the actual quantity of hay for which he pays If bales are short of the weight specified upon the tags there are grounds for a claim, either in the form of a price conces- sion or of weight claim. In either case the adjustment of the claim is likely to be less economical to the producer than the actual reweighing of the hay. The producer or shipper should be prepared to prove that the weight of the hay at the time of sale Is correct and as indicated upon the tag.
 Careless weighing on wagon scales causes as much difficulty as careless weighing by any other method. One of the principal causes of unsatisfac- tory weights upon wagon scales is lack of proper care of the scales and of the necessary attention to keep them In repair and ID good working order.
