NEWS NOTES FROM
 AMERICAN LEGION

More than 170,000 women, members of 3400 units, will be represented at the first national convention of the Women's Auxiliary of the American Legion to be held at Kansas City simultaneously with the third nation al convention of the Legion October 31 to November 2. The Auxiliary has completed departmental organi- cations in more than thirty states. At the coming convention it will se- lect national headquarters and per haps a new name.
 When Nathan Potak, youth from Ukrania, gave his life to the service of the United States in the world war, he made a sacrifice which may save his father, mother and two brothers from deportation. The family arrived in Minneapolis nearly penniless and were taken in custody by immigration authorities as violators of certain inn migration regulations. They then learned for the first time of their sons sacrifice. The American Legion is endeavoring to obtain for them the $10,O00 government insurance, state bonus and dependents allowance.

 Charging that Winthrop D. Lane, sociological expert employed by leg islative Investigating committee in New York City, is editor of pamph- let called "Uncle Sam, Jailer" which attacked the Government on the polit- ical prisoner question, the executive committee of the Kings County of the American Legion comprising seventy New York posts, has sent a petition to State Senator Meyer, chairman of the investigating committee, request ing Lanes dismissal.
 A clash between employees of a cir GUS and the police of Fremont, Ne braska, as the latter attempted to stop alleged "con" games, came to an end when the mayor of the city threatened to call out members of the American Legion to preserve law and order. The police were outnumbered by the circus roustabouts who refused to obey or ders of the mayor until the latter an- nounced that he would call Legion men to assist the police.

BACHELOR SEA LIONS TO BE
 KILLED

The lighthouse keeper on Anna Nuevo Island, twenty miles north of Santa Cruz, California, has one hun dred annoying and unwelcome visitors in the shape of bachelor sea lions They steal his food and make them selves otherwise obnoxious, so the United States lighthouse service has decided to open bids for the shooting of these mateless males. Mir. H. w. Rhodes, lighthouse superintendent for California, says that there are four hundred more sea lions on the island, but as they a perfectly good hus- bands with their harems of wives, they don't annoy the lighthouse keeper.
 The sea lions skins are good for leather. Their blubber contains oil, and the rest of them can be sold for fertilizer.

LARGE DEPOSITS OF CHROME
 ORE IN INDIA

The importance of Chromium in the steel industry has been brought into prominence in recent years. Origin ally large supplies were obtained from the deposits near Brusa, Asia Minor, the production of chromite in 1908 having been 29,000 tons. Later, Southern Rhodesia, and New Gale donia became the chief sources of supply, and in the pre-war years the German steel industry used to draw upon Asia Minor. The inquiry for chromite was stimplated by the war. Canada, which had an output of 121 tons in 1914, soon produced 33,00O tons in 1917, while India increased her output of 5,s8s tons in 1914 to 57,773 tons in 1918. The Indian de- posits are scattered over several prov inces. The mineral has been found in the peridolite rocks of the Chalk Hills near Salem, Madras, and also in the Andamans. Another deposit area oc- CUTS two miles east of Yhamgoia, in the Pishin district, and it consists of rich vein-like mass with 54 per cent of chroms oxide. Good supplies are also available in the districts of My sore and also in Singhbhum Behar. The regions have not been well ex- plotted. In July 1914, the Beluchistan Chrome Company, Ltd., was registered in England to acquire leases of chrome areas covering 6,15s acres in the Hindubagh district of Beluchlstan. A railway from Khanai to Hindubagh has been. constructed, and shipments commenced in March 1917.

average production is 2,798,000,000 bushels.
 Oats conditions on August 1 were 90 per cent, which forecasts an av- craze yield of SIS bushels and a total production of 794,OOO bushels. It is probable that a large part of the Ari- ,zona acreage will be cut for hay. Last year the total production of grain was placed at 4S1,000 bushels. Counties reporting the largest acreage this year are: Maricopa, 5000 Apache, $500; Coconino, 4,O00; Navajo, 1,70O; and Greenlee, 600. For the United States, the outlook is for a crop of about 1,137, 100000 bushels, compared with 1,526,0OO,O0O bushels last year and 1,433, 100000 bushels, the five year average.
 Hay conditions in Arizona on Aug ust 1 forecast crop of about 462,000 tons, compared with 381,000 tons in 1920, This year a large acreage of new alfalfa was planted in the Salt River and Yuma aVlleys, which has resulted in an increase of about 15 per cent in the States acreage. Mari copa County reports 75,000 acres; Graham, 11,OOO; Yuma, 10000; Pinal, 4,O00; Apache, $500; Coconino, 5000; Yavapai, 5000; Pima, 4,000; Navajo, 2,5OO; Cochise, 5000; and Gila, 1000 acres. For the United States, the forecast is 83 million tons. This com pares with 91 million tons last year, and S6 million tons, the five-year av- craze production.
 The condition of Arizona potatoes on August 1 was 80 per cent, which forecasts a crop of about 448,000 bush els, compared with 450,O00 bushels in 1920. The entire State acreage is es- timated at 5000 of which 1,700 acres are in Coconino County and 1000 acres in Maricopa County. Apache, Navajo and Yavapai each report 400 acres. For the United States, the forecast is 316 million bushels, a de- cline of 61 million bushels since July 1. The crop has been greatly damag- ed in many States by the long con tinued heat and dry weather. Last year the total production was 431 mil lion bushels, while the five-year aver age production is 371 million bushels. Cantaloupe shipments from the Salt River Vllaey totaled 1,459 cars, com pared with LAG in 1920, 1,621 in 1919, 1,173 in 1918, 1914 in 1917, 865 in 1916, 490 in 1915 and 562 in 1914.

LOSSES BY HAIL
T0BE-PAID more.
PROMPTLY. SAID
Laws Remedy A Serious
Drawback To Earl y
Payments

To remedy criticism and aid farm
ers suffering from hail losses who
carry state hail insurance, provision
has been made to care for adjustments
at an earlier date than heretofore:
according to bulletin sent out from
the state hail insurance department
this week as follows:
"Since the payment Of losses could
only be made as the hail tax money
was collected from the farmers, it has
not been possible in the past to pay
all the losses in the fall. Since this
unavoidable delay in payment caused
considerable criticism, and in fact was
the serious objection against the old
law, the decision was made to provide
some means for paying more prompt
ly in the future. It is true that the
old law carried a provision according
TO which the Insurance Commissioner
could negotiate loan; however, the
general financial condition made it
practically impossible to borrow any
large amount. The new law now
carries a provision for the establish
ment Of a permanent and revolving
hail fund. During the years 1921,
'22, '23, "a and rs, the 8 cent flat
tax, wich amounts to approximately
$830,OOO per year, will be set aside
and in the course Of five years will
accumulate fund Of over $4,000, ,000
Since this fund is revolving, it will
make possible the payment Of losses
in the fall to the extent Of $500, 900 af-
ter the first year Of its operation, ST.
100000 after the second year and so
on until after the fifth year all losses
can be paid in the fall. This feature
besides enabling prompt payment, will
effect saving in interest on warrants
Of from $4,000 to $15o,ooo yearly"

BERLIN, July 31.-A growing tend
ency toward sterilization, with con-
Gequent feeling of increasing conf
dcnce, is the description of the presen.
financial and industrial situation here
given by experts as result Of devel-
opments in the last week.
What has already been said regard
ing the movement of exchange securi-
ties continues to hold true in an increas-
ing measure, while the growth of in
dustrial com binations designed to pro-
mote economy and increase production
is proceeding with pace which is
calling forth a distinct spirit of op-
timism.
If industrial combinations continue
on the scale maintained the last two
weeks it seems likely that within a
short time Germany will present to
the rest of the world single indus
trial machine, operated by the move
ment of only few levers. The princi.
pie which actuates this development is
the elimination of destructive compe-
tition and the pooling of all the coun-
try's resources for exploitation on a
single scientific plan.
This remarkable development of
German industry in the face even of
serious exchange difficulties is some
thing which seems to defy hitherto
accepted economic laws. The Germans
seem to have turned their backs on
the caprices of the exchanges as far
AS their home industry is concerned
and are concentrating their efforts
upon the production of tangible
values.
1t is is which really determines
operatio on the Bourse The credit
of 10000, 900 gold marks obtained by
Germany failed to arouse enthusiasm.
On the contrary the Bourse simply
shrugged its shoulders in skepticism.
The whole line of industries reports
consistent and steady improvement,
including coal and iron industries. In
fact, it can be said there is not a
single industry in Germany in difficult
straits. Many industries, moreover,
are showing remarkable Improvement,
such as in machines, locomotives, rail.
way equipment, glass, porcelain,
leather shoes, cement, electric sup
plies and all branches of the textile
industry.
Every financial report published
shows increasing assets and decreaa
Ing liabilities. In the midst Of this
progress the combination move ment
continues, promising much in Ger
many's industrial development.

reaction in basic lines of industry still

monthly review of general economic
conditions issued tonight by the Fed

Copper and zinc, which were said to

better than usual, while the outlook
for a satisfactory autumn business in
number of lines, such as knit goods
and cotton textiles, was declared to be
decidedly encouraging. Consumers de-
mand as reflected in the volume of re-
tail trade continued as good as or bet
ter than at this time last year.
Continuing prospect of excellent food
crops was declared to be the most
hopeful feature in the general outlook.
Little change in cotton crop was noted,
with about two-thirds Of last years
production expected.
Price changes during the month have
shown no pronounced tendencies, the
board stated. Greater stability was
manifest in the textile, boot and shoe
industries, although important declines

tomobiles.
Money rates have become distinctly
easier, the review continued, but fuc-
tuations in exchange and unstable for
eign financial conditions have pre-
vented any material improvement in
foreign trade.

large retrenchments.
Don't Want Election
There may be general election this
tall, but business interests hope it will
be averted.
Premier Lloyd George no longer en-.
Joys the full support Of the Unionists
while the Independent Liberals are
more estranged than ever The Oopo.
sltion hopes that the Premier will gc
before the country before Christina
and are making plans with that enc
in view.
There are several issues upon which
general election could be fought, but
as Mr.. Lloyd George has his heart SET
upon going to Washington for the dis.
armament conference he will not make
an appeal to the country unless his
position becomes much more desperate
than it is at present.
Do Not Fear Coalition
Business interests no Longer fea,
that Labor and the government vill
succeed in a coalition, for Labor has
done much to discredit itself politically
in the last year, but general election
is bound to increase unsettlcment and
give setback, II only temporarily, to
trade.
Americas attitude toward the Aus
TRAN reconstruction scheme prepared
by the League of Nations commission
has been the cause of considerable
comment here and apparently it is
not understood clearly. 1t has been
reported that America has rejected the
scheme and therefore that the whole
plan had failed.
This report was denied, the explana-
ton being made that the scheme must
have the approval Of Congress, and
that body would likely indorse it when
it understood that there was no pos
sibility of collecting the e2,500,000 due
the United States unless America as
Austria. 1t is hoped in Austria that
Congress will give its approval with
out further delay
