ed to be the consensus Of opinion that
the road was not a as bad as it had
been expected, but that its good con-
dition was due to the recent dry
weather. The road had also been
scraped as "camouflage" for the
party, Mr.. Barnett asserted, adding
that in wet weather it was almost i'm
possible.
The party went to Folkston just
the other side Of the St. Marys riv-
en-. the commonly accepted gateway
to Florida, ahead Of its schedule and
as a result Of the unexpected easy
travelling the state road department

come from liquor trade taxes during
1922 will be over 121,OOO,OOO kronor
or more than S32,OOO,OOO, according
to the official reports just published
by the Liquor Control Board.
One Of the arguments used by
Sweden's ''webs" iu-the recent prohi-
b.tion referendum in Sweden, which
resulted in a victory for the anti
prohibitionists, was that in case
Sweden went dry there would be a
heavy loss of revenue from liquor
taxes, and that other commodities
might have to be sur-taxed to make
up the deficit.

TYR.US COBB MAY
YET REGAIN HIS
BATTING CROWN

Chicago, Sept. 23.-Tyrus Ray
mond Cobb, batting champion of the
American league for u out of IS
years, may realize his ambition to be
crowned with that coveted honor this
year.
The Detroit veteran in his flight
to overtake George Sisler, of the st.
Louis Browns today is just 81 points
behind the St. Louis star, but, with
Sisler lame, Cobb has chance to
pass him, provided he averages two
hits or more for the remaining
games.
Sisters average includes games of
Wednesday at Ais compared with
mark of ALB compared with a mark
of .424 a week ago, falling off Of
six points. Cobb is collecting hits
to the tune of .391, and is displaying
no Indications of slowing up as the
clubs swing into the final stretch OF
the race. But Sisters heart and soul
is in baseball, and it is almost an i'm
possibility to keep him out of the
game, despite his physicians orders.
He insists upon getting into uniform,
even although he does not get into
lineup, so that he may be ready to
take a crack at the ball when called
as pinch hitter.
Cobb led the American league ev-
cry year from 1907, with the excep-
ton of 1916, when iris Speaker. of |
the Indians, took the honors, and in !
1920 when Siser was crowned King, !
and last season when Harry Heilman. |
of the Tigers, crowded Cobb out of
first place.
Sisters mark for stolen bases APP
pears to be safely tucked away, as
his forty-seven thefts is thirteen bet
ter than his closest rival, Kenneth |
Williams, teammate.
Williams bagged a brace of home
runs during the pas tweek and is tied
with Rogers Hornsby with 80 for the
leadership of the major leagues.
Rogers Hornsby, the st. Louis star,
who for the past two years has car
ried off premier batting honors of
the National league, has launched
final drive to boost his 1922 average
above the coveted 400 mark.
The St. Louis favorite is on the
brink of his ambition, the figures
showing him hitting 1893. In 1920
he topped the league hitters with
mark of $40 and last season romped l.
off with the honors with an average
If 1897.
Hornsby fell into a slump early ini
August, but, when Jimmy Tierney, |,
IF the Pirates, and black" Miller, Of
he Cubs, began to threaten, he re-
covered his batting eye and started
o pull away. This drive was start
bout the middle of August, when he
vas hitting only .374. He was stead
ly increased and at the rate he is
raveling he will easily reach his
,oal, the 400.

RADIO DIRECTS SHIPS
One Compass Station is Opened on Lake Superior and Three Others Are Being Built

Great Lakes Naval Training Station, Great Lakes, Ill.,, May 19.- (Associat cd Press. )---F'or the first time naciga- ton on Lake Superior has been rob- bed of it's terrors. On May IA the first naval radio compass station on the Lakes opened at White Fish Point to direct passing ships by wireless. At any hour the captain of ship lost in the fog banks can call the radio station and ask his position. The re- ply will give the ships direction from White Fish Point for the vessels nav igator to plot on his chart.
 Within three weeks two more radio compass stations will open, one at Grand Marais. sixty miles west of White Fish Bay and the other at De- tour, at the mouth of St. Mary's river. When they are in operation the pass ing ships will receive their location from two Of the stations and plotting those two lines on the chart the skip per will know his ship is at the point where the lines meet.
 The graveyard of the lakes stretches from White Fish Bay to Grand Marais, the nearest port of refuge to the west. The sixty miles of desolate water, trimmed by sand lunes and lonely forests has claimed an an- nual toll in ships and lives and cargo since navigation opened on the upper lakes. One vessel. a Canadian light house tender, went down off White Fish Point in a storm a few weeks ago with ninety men,

EMBELLISHMENTS
 PLAN FOR UNION
Conference Leads to Discussion
 for Combining Forces

Prague May 1a.-Progress toward ! union of the Russian anti-Bolshevik forces abroad around the personality of General Wrangel, formerly com mander of the White Russian armies in the Crmca, is reported here as result of conferences held in Belgrade in March.
 The difficulties in the way are said 10 be great but Vladimir Shulgln, Russian editor formerly Of kiev, says that Wrangel's influence llas gradu- ally drawn together the Russians in Constantinople and Sofia, has gained ground in Belgrade and now is about to win the support of those Russians in Paris whose spokesman is the philosopher, NJ. kartasheff, president of the Russian National Council in Paris.
 Would Divide Group.
 That would leave the Russians divided into two main groups-the Wrangel forces and the Social Revo- lutionists with whom Professor Paul Milukoff is cooperating.
 About 15,00O Russian soldiers, mostly officers, have continued to re- main loyal to Wrangel slice. they were driven out of the Crimea and some thousands of them are performing frontier guard or gendarmerie service in Jugoslavia, where their discipline has continued. In Bulgaria these Russians are subject to their own au- thority and the sentences of their court martials are carried out without reference to the laws of Bulgaria.
 The Wrangel forces actually are better armed than the Bulgarians and recently have received arms and mu- ntions from Allied sources abroad. Bugarians have too small force under the colors now to be able to watch their frontiers effectively

MUCH MERCHANDISE .
 SHIPPED TO RUSSIA
Coal, Chemical and Metal Goods
 Are on List

Moscow May 1a.-netailed reports of development Of trade between Rus Sia and the outside world since the be- ginning of 1920 have been published in the Soviet press. covering the period since Russia's first peace treaty was concluded with Esthonia when the blockade against Russia was brought to an end Chiefly due to lack of system and the chaotic con. dllions which existed during 1920, Russia exported but little in that time, the imports however being valued at i0,000,00n gold ruaes.
 But as soon as trade agencies and presentations had gained h.m footing in London, Berlin. Stockholm and other industrial centers, an actual system became apparent in the foreign trade of Soviet Russia, all business being carried on under supervision of the peoples commissar for foreign trade, l.. B. Krassin.
 In 1921 Russia imported goods valued at 24S,000, ,0oo gold ruhlcs, equivalent to sl24,00O.o0n. chiefly coal chemical and metal goods, food stuffs and textiles. In the same year Russia exported goods valued at 2o,ooo,ooo gold rUblcs. chiefly flax. and other raw materials.
 England took the lead in supplying Russia with it's needs last year. with Germany second. The deliveries con sisted chiefly of agricultural requisites. America took third place, having sup piled Is per cent. of the import goods, exclusive of relief supplies.
 The Soviet press concludes that. owing to the exhausted condition of the country, if is scarcely considered possible to increase the export busi- ness during the next few years, all though, says one paper an improve ment in the quality of the goods may well be expected.
