Montgomery, July -(Spee.al.)- Citizens of Alabama lost $4,228 ,284 more by fire during the fiscal year which ended October 1, 1921, than they did the previous fiscal year, while the number of fires was greater by 1901 than the preceding year. These facts are shown by the reports of the operation of the state fire marshal's department for the two years, which were being mailed out today by W. J. Williams, state fire marshal.
 For the last fiscal year there were 5,549 fires. which caused total loss of $7,42S,9s4 Property endangered by the fires was valued at &41.7so.sss. while the total insurance carried on the property was s1s,s1s.647.

LONDONERS RISE IN
 PROTEST AGAINST
 NOSUNDAY GAMES
Cry For Cricket, Tennis and Other Pastimes on Sabbath SWeIIS From Press and
 Pulpit
By A.socinred Press

London, July 1.-Many people arc demanding that the London County council allow the playing of cricket. tennis and other games In the parks on Sundays. The movement has tho support of most of the newspapers, and not few of the clergy. They say that if people go to church In the morning they ought to be allowed to play games in the afternoon.
 London spent yesterday out of doors," said the Daily Chronicle. Tt was a perfect Sunday for games. Every private cricket ground. bowl ing greens and tennis groundwas oc- cupied The only grounds where ten- his was forbidden were those con- trolled by the london country council. While members of the county council themselves play tennis on Sunday they prohibit others from doing so in the public parks. Thousands of yovn3 men and women who would have played but for the county council killjoy band, dawdled about doing nothing.
 storm of Anger
 Tt is the same with cricket. Tho thousands of pitches controlled by the county council are not allowed to be used on Sunday, and boys were standing about smoking cigarettes who would have been playing games but for the Sabbatarian fetish: No games on Sundays There Is a growing storm of public anger at this prohibition of Sunday games"
 T shall certainly see the triumph of this movement for Sunday games" said a reformer who is behind the movement. Tn England every Briton has the right to get drunk. if he wants to, between certain hours on Sunday. It is absurd to permit a man to get drunk on Sunday but prohibit him from playing games In the public parks on Sunday. A man cannot get drunk while playing games. Therefore I am.for games on Sunday if only in the interest of temperance."

Washington, July 1.-The close ous month since the beginning of business depression, so far ns can be gauged by surface indica- tions, ushered in the period of lower freight rates today. From the volume of traffic hauled and other factors already known and measured, it Is estimated that the carriers of the country, tak- ing them as n whole, earned dur ing June just about the amount necessary to place them on basis of returning 51z per cent Reports from the chief sections and industries indicate that the ten perl cent cut in rates, which became effective today, will speed up busi- ness generally to such an extent that the present surplus of freight cars will be dissipated within the next few months.

By United Financial

CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-Grain prices
opened higher on the Chicago Board
of Trade today in response to an early
advance in the Liverpool market.
Prices slumped in Liverpool, however,
in the l. ter hours Of trade and the
action was reflected by considerable
selling pressure i nthe local market.
December and May wheat were
evenly 4 cent higher on first sales
Receipts were extremely light at 40
cars. There was an unmistakable
bearish sentiment in the trade, after
the early advance.
Corn receipts were moderate at 800
cars, most Of which was in the form Of
direct consignments. With large
quantities of old corn in the country,
the continuance Of light receipts is
believed to be the result Of severe car
shortages on the large western roads.
Oats prices were slightly higher In
sympathy with the other grains. Light
receipts, estimated at - cars, gave
oats some independent bullish senti-
ment, however, and prices were slower
