Sues Cement Industry.

THE Department of Justice has launched its drive
against the so-called open price associations
with civil suit in New York against the Ce-
ment Manufacturers Protective Association. the At
torney General announced Thursday This is Of
many similar associations organized under the Eddy
plan. which explained in statement from Mr..
Daugherty
"The forms OF the plan vary in minor deta said the
statement but the outstanding and fundamental principle
of all is the exchange between members of comprehensive
statistical data which enables each to know what his
petitor is doing.
Upon comparing these facts. and after aordng rep-
resenaves of the association and its members opPor-
tunity explain them it my opinion and the con-
of other opinions that the operations of the asso-
ciaton and its members constitute fragrant violation of
the Sherman act"
If 1t were not for this association. which the govern
ent seeks to dissolve there would be competition in the
cement industry according to the Attorney General Pend
ing the result of the petition that the defendants be enoined
from maintaining the association temporary injunction
is asked for.

Signs Army Bill.

A LTHoUGH he did not approve of its provisions
~ the President signed the army bill Thursday
providing for force Of 10000 men. Instead
OF vetong the measure, which would have neeessitated
long delay in its re-enactment, the passage Of
substitute legislation he forwarded communication
to Congress outlining his objections
The principal objection to the BILL stated by the
President is that the letter of the law is carried
out il will force the discharge from the army OF men
whose terms Of enlistment have not expired
The President stated that when the men enlisted
for term of years the government was under an
obligation to maintain them in the service until this
perod expired Il was also suggested that number
Of soldiers Of long service who re-enlst regularly
might be prevented from again entering the army He
said that the expiration of enlstments would possibly
take Of only one-half the reduction necessitaed
He pointed that Secretary Weeks would exercise
every precauton to prevent deficiency in the army
appropriation because of the inability to discharge
until their service is concluded. but served notice
that should deficiency he would call upon Con-

Bombs Hit Battleship.

Army and navy fliers failed to duplicate their
success of the previous week In the accuracy OF bomb
ing as only two out of seventy bombs dropped from
airpancs scored hits the battleshp Iowa.
The tests, scheduled for Tuesday off the Virginia
capes had be delayed until late in the day Wednes-
day. due to heavy fog which obscured the target on
the surface of the water and accentuaed one OF the
difficulties in placing total dependence on air attack
against surface vessels, experts pointed out.
The Iowa was controlled by radio and operated
within radius of miles off the capes. The aviators
were not informed of the location of the moving vessel
and had to "fnd" It, In this respect the airmen were
successful and within comparatively short time had
signaled waiting planes the location for attack The
target was moving under full steam different from the
test of the week before against submarine which had
been moored
While it generally believed that a greater
percentage of hits would be scored the experts on
aeronautcs said that either of the two bombs scoring
direct hits would have placed ship out of commission.
The bombs used dummy"

100000 has been spent in direct allowance to the men
themselves for maintenance The overhead for the
entire time since the organization of the rehabilitation
work which includes rent, office equipment and
plies salaries printing, travel and subsistence Of em-
poyes, telephone and telegraph and other expenses

However, it will be noted that the overhead ex-

during which month total expenditures $II,o4433o
of which $8,25oyooo went directly to the them
selves for maintenance.
The overhead expenses during the first few months

Mesquite wood is the most important source OF
fuel and fence posts in southwestern United States
In many sections it the only tree available for any
purpose Certain borers destroy mesquite completely
within few months after it is cut, causing great loss
and Inconvenience Wood for fuel is piled, commonly,
in wards and along the railroads In such places it
subject to borer damage from February to October
and frequently is reduced to worthless pile OF saw
dust and honeycombed sticks Fence posts are damaged
by sapwood feeding in such way that staples
become loose and the posts must be replaced ire
quently. In southern Texas and New Mexico thous-
ands of dollars worth of mesquite has been destroyed
in this way after being taken from land cleared Tor
agricultural uses There is practically no month in
southern Arizona when some few of these beetles do
not fly about seeking wood which to lay their
eggs but during certain periods their number is almost
negligible. @
