Warns Farmers to Fight
White-Top Roseftes

LAFAYETTE, Ind. April 22.-Warn-
ing to Indiana farmers to be on the
watch for white-top rosettes. and to
take steps to combat this pest during
the spring. is issued by A. A. Hansen,
weed expert of Purdue. The fall oil
1921 was wet, he says, which is an al
most certain indication that white-top
will be plentiful this year.
Examination of crop land for the ros-
cites, and in case they are present,
blowing instead of merely discing. are
measures of determination. Meadows
also which contain white-top rosettes
should be broken and seeded to for
age plant, he states.

now prevalent in Western territory.
A request was made that Eastern
railroads be required to supply some

In addition, the State Commission
ers suggested that the Pennsylvania,
Baltimore and Ohio. and the big

ing box cars belonging to Western
roads, on condition that they move

INCREASE IN
BUILDING COSTS

WASHINGTON. Nov. 4.-The level
Of wholesale prices of building ma
terials rose 1871 per cent. between
March and September, the season of
active construction, according to a
nationwide survey just completed by
the Department. of Labor. The sur
vey covered all representative mar
kets and principal materials, includ-
ing lumber, brick, steel, cement and
hardware.
The level of prices of all mate
rails in September averaged 1876 per
cent. higher than in the same month
Of 1921, the survey shows. Prices
fall between November and March,
when construction is carried on at
smallest volume.
per cent. higher than that of 1918.
Wholesale prices Of building mate
rails will not return to the pre-war
standards, it is believed, until the
nation has caught up with its nor
NAL building rate.
Although nearly $4,000, 600, 900
worth Of new construction work
has been undertaken this year, 1923
will find the nation still behind In
matter Of housing. AT the be-
ginning of 1922 the United States
was short 100000 homes, accord
ing to an official estimate. A part
of this shortage has been made up.
Wartime rent levels are beginning
to disappear in some sections. But
the annual fall decline in construc-
ton is beginning. and the demand
for new dwelling and apartments is
still greater than supply. Building
and real estate operators
in virtually all sections are planning
for 1928 larger than were
undertaken this year.

DECREASE IN BUSINESS
FAILURES IN AMERICA

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Business
failures in the United States for the
month Of October were above those
Of the previous month, but far below
the total for the corresponding
month last year. The increase as
compared with September, according
to Bradstreet's is due to seasonal
conditions. In commenting on the
record of business suspensions last
month. Bradstreet's' says:
"A seasonal interest in the number
of failures and in the volume of liza
bilities is shown by the reports for
the month of October, as compared
with the preceding month of Septem-
Der. The increase in number was,
however, not very great, and, while
October exceeded September in num-
Der it fell behind the totals for Au-
gust and June, and in fact, every
month previously except July. Com
pared with October a year ago a
decided decrease is shown in
both number and liabilities in favor
of the month just closed.
There were 1000 failures report
in October, as against 1859 in
1878 in August. 1875 in
July and 1860 in June. There is
here shown an increase of 8 per cent
over September, but the decrease
October a year ago is lis per
cent. Compared with October two
years ago, failures appear to he still
nearly double in number. Liabilities
in October totaled $3O,941,S84, an
increase of 1871 per cent over Sep
TENDER, and a fraction of 1 per cent
increase over August, but with
these exceptions, failure damage was
in October than in any preceding
month since October, 1920.

INDUSTRY STANDARDS

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The Cham
Der Of Commerce of the State of
New York has adopted a resolution

The plan calls for Standardization
of definitions used in engineering
work and of methods of tests for
materials and apparatus, as well as
for Standardization of interchange
able parts for machinery and limi-
tation of the number of types, sizes
and grades of manufactured articles.
Another resolution directed off,
cials to do all they could to spread
the doctrine that small investors
should seek the advice of reputable
bankers before purchasing securi-
ties. A subcommittee is working on
a plan for the further safeguarding
of small investors from dealers in
worthless securities.

COPPER SALES ARE GOOD,
BUT PRICES WEAK

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Although
this years sales of copper, until re-
Gently, compare favorably with the
last three years, the price of this
commodity has not advanced as have
other products, such as steel, cotton,
sugar, grain, leather, rubber and the
other commodities which reacted
sharply during the period of de-
flation. Most producers continue to
quote IA cents a pound delivered for
the red metal, but little business If
any has been done at this level dur
ing the last week, according to the
Engineering and Mining Journal.
Some producers, 1t is pointed out.
are meeting competition from those
whose policy calls for the immediate
marketing Of their present output.
In the last three or four days the
price of 10 rs cents delivered, las
been so common that it has been
necessary to go even below this to at
tract purchasers, and several fair
sized orders were placed at a price
of 10 ga cents delivered.
1.-The decline in price is entirely at
tributed to the apathy of consumers
says the paper. "They are operating
their plants at capacity SO some other
reason must De lOr tue SUI
den lull in demand. Possibly the
chief reason is the freight embargo.
Whereas it ordinarily may take n
week to ship from refinery to con-
sumers' destination, it now takes
three to four weeks, and the con-
sumner is more interested in getting
materials in and out of his plant just
now than in the buying of raw ma
terial. He has not forgotten the 1920
tie-up. The freight situation is cx-
pected to show material improve
ment in six weeks"

How Perth AmbOyanS
Spend Their Money

partment, from a study of costs of
living, embracing details gathered
from IL, 096 families.
Despite the inroads made by the
automobile on street car travel, the
average Perth Amboy workingman's
family spends $3.50 per year on
street al rides; $17.S3 going for
travel to and from work, 81 cents
to school, and $5.55 for other travel.
The place that the movies have
taken in the life Of the family may
be judged from the fact that the
average Perth Amboy workingman's
family spends 1871 a year in that
pleasure, compared with Sill or
plays, concerts, etc; $1.38 on other
amusements and $1.10 on excursions.

PROTEST COAL DEMURRAGE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The Tide
Water Coal Exchange filed a COM
plant with the Interstate Commerce
Commission protesting against de-
mirage charges on coal pooled in the
period from May 1, 1920, to October
81, 1921, at the tidewater coal piers
of the Pennsylvania, Baltimore and
Ohio, Philadelphia & Reading, Cen
trail Railroad of New Jersey and
other carriers in the New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore har-
bors.
The complaint alleges that in
trans-shipment to vessels the de-
PENDANT carriers disregarded the or
der in which the cars had arrived at
the piers, with the"result that demur-
charges were in excess of what
would have accrued had the cars
been dumped in order of arrival. The
commission is asked to require the
carriers to reassess their demur-
bills against the exchange.

take THE TARIFF FROM
POLITICS, URGENT PLEA

NEW YORK, Nov. 4:-Tariff-
making must be removed from poll
tics. That is the edict Of the manu-
facturers of the country and it has
tie warm support of the farmers
and the business men in general.
With the view to using its infiu-
n C and goodwill in the complete
development and administration of
the new tariff law, providing en-
larged powers for the Tariff Com
mission and a flexible tariff by
States may adjust determinations
in the protection of American in

of the National Association of Man
ufacturers, today pledged the con-
tinued interest and activities of the
association toward seeing that the
provisions of the present law are
carried out as a definite step toward
Fl: ally removing tariff from the
realm of politics. The National AS
ISOLATION Of Manufacturers has,
since its creation. advocated the es-
adjustment of a tariff court hat
schedules u of politics. 1t was the
first organization of its kind to
sponsor this thought and has been
consistently behind it yer since. In
a recent referendum of its members
the vote showed that eighty-nine
per cent approved proposals design
ed to remove the making Of tariff
duties from political discussion by
giving their final making to a tariff
court" which would be guided by
the principle of protection Or free
trade as it might be declared by
congress. The National Association
of Manufacturers announces that 1t
intends to carefully watch the ad-
ministration of the present tariff
and that future steps to
bring about the tariff making con-
ditions endorsed by its membership
will depend upon the administra-
ton of the present act and the ex-

commission, acting in accord with
the recent order of the President,
and within the limits of the present
measure, succeeds in using the fex-

TEXAS SCHOOLS
RULE RINGERS
BYCONFERENCE
Uniform Playing Regulations
Planned by Southern
Institutions.

Ell Paso, Texas, Dec. 19.-The Ell
Paso Athletic council has undertaken
the organization of an athletic confer
ence between schools in west Texas,
New Mexico and Arizona. 1t is plan
ned to have these schools play inter-
collegiate baseball and football games,
but to have the games played under
conference rules similar to those OF
other college athletic conferences.
It is planned to have the various
members not to play ringers. men
who are professionals, or who are not
regular students of that school. 1t Is
also planned TO have, them agree not
TO nav their athletes and not to allow
men to play athletics for more than
four wears as members of regular
teams.
It is charged by members of the
council that heretofore schools have
drafted on various colleges for play
ers when a hard game was to be, play
ed. and also that professional players
from Ell Paso and other places have
been hired for, years to help out var
ious colleges when difficult games
were scheduled. n,
1t is also charged that certain men
have played on certain teams for six
and eight years in certain cases.
Ell Paso has big fights to get
Thanksgiving games here or post sea
son games between leading colleges of
New Mexico. Arizona and Texas play
ed here. Members Of the council say
these plans have fallen through for
one reason. hat it has been impos-
sible to get the teams to agree on
rules Of play.
Decision to form the conference
was made when public dissatisfaction
was expressed shortly after Daniel
Bakers team of Brentwood, played
the school of mines of the University
Of Texas. a game at FL Paso. 1t was
alleged that two men were registered
at the school Of mines only a week
before the. game, and that after the
game neither went to class again. 1t
is said that before the game they were
registered for only n subject each
and had rome to one class each.
1t was also charged that similar
occurrences had taken place in the
past. Nobody, however. was blamed
for no rules were broken. Each col
lege played under its own rules.
The schools in the council will ask
to aid in forming the conference are

ric1ltura1 and Mechanical college at

Move to Unseat
Lands Started by
Minor League Vet

New YORK, Dec. 19.-The baseball
minors are liable to start something
in the way of a movement against
Judge Lands that may have a far
reaching effect. Al Tearney, president
of the Three-Eye and Western leagues,
is reported to be set" for a drive
against baseball's high commissioners
over n or two grievances that have
cropped up in the past year.
Baseball authorities here say that
Tearney's drive is really the start Of
q movement to eliminate Judge Lands
from control of baseball. Several com
plants will be urged against him By
his opponents. One is that the Judge
doesn't give as much time to basebalfs
| affairs as he should.
While it is not likely that the ma
! iority Of the clubs that named Lands
| high commissioner would countenance
! his removal, still there is always the
| chance that Lands. rather than enter
into a lengthy squabble with his oppo-
nents. would offer his resignation. This.
| of course. is hardly to be expected, but

!! Gals. said, "Who knows what will ever

HALLOFFAME
EASY HILL FOR
CARDINAL STAR
HOrnsby Breaks All Marks.
Including Own, in
Past Season.

New York. Dec. 19.-F. Kelley, one
of our leading sports writer's. a ) 1t
is doubtful il there has ever been writ
ten into the records of baseball a finer
list of personal achievements than that
which Rogers Hornsby has spread on
the pages of the National leagues Off
cial averages. Whatever doubt there
was, and up until last season there
was plenty of it expressed here and
there. of the genuine quality of this
~unassuming star of the st. Louis Card
inals. it ought to be removed lrrevoc-
ably by this years averages. Hornsby
has set enough records to guarantee his
place among the games elect as long
as it exists. He led the batters for the
third year in succession, the only time
that feat has been accomplished save
when old 'Honus' Wagner did it in
1906, 1907 and 1908. and he had the
highest average that any National
league batter has ever had, except Ed
Delehanty in 1899. Hornsby's 1922
mark is .4O1. Delehanty's 1899 one
was .4OS.
But these were only incidental ac-
ornplishments. He took the undisputed
home u championship with a total
of 40 circuit blows, which compares
faYorably with even Ruth's mightiest
efforts: has the greatest number of
hits. $50, that the league has ever had:
hit for a record number of bases. $50,
which broke his old mark of 1921. 376.
and gained 20 over Cravath's old rec
ord Of 129 for runs batted in, boosting
the mark to 149.
During the formation of his remark
able seasons record, Hornsby hit 102
extra base blows. the figures being AZ
home runs, i6 doubles and IA three
base hits. His singles totaled 14S.
Another little incident was the batting
of a home run when the bases were
filled. Hornsby and the rest of the
league are in for a big season next
year if be continues to show improve
ment.
