 OF AGE-HERALD

A remarkable demonstration of Birmingham interest in the Will lard Firpo fight Thursday evening developed when many fans gath cred in front of the Age-Herald building to get the returns. The gathering was really in the na- ture of a surprise, as no an pouncement was made that The Age-Herald would give a matinee. There was a nasty conference be- tween representatives of the fans and the press, with the result that matinee was quickly arranged. MT J. F. Yerby of the Hill stores of Birming gham volunteered to call the fight round by round He proved an adept at the game and had no trouble in keeping the crowd in good humor. Willard was the favorite with the crowd here, convincing proof of which was forthcoming when Willard knocked Firpo against the ropes, causing the Birmingham crowd to cheer wildly. A little later, how ever, like true Americans the mat inee fans acclaimed the winner. Several thousand fans heard the finish.

RINGsIDE, JERSEY CITY, July 12.-(By Associated ss)-Luis Angel Firpo, conqueror Of Jess Will lard took his triumph with the same solemnity that he displayed in the eight and a fraction rounds to put the giant Kansan down.

 He certainly gave me good, hard fight" Willard said. q don't want to alibi, as l was fairly beaten. but my left arm was so sprained in the training that I could scarcely use it at all. l had many openings for Firpo's face, but I couldn't jab hard enough to down him.

ON ROAD
BOND ISSUE
Pierson Plan Not to be Fol-
loWed by State House
Commission

TRENTON, April 2S:-The State
House Commission, made up of
Governor Silzer. State Comptroller
Bugbee and State Treasurer Read,
has decided to carry out the issuance
of the $40, 100000 highway bond is
sue, as originally announced. This
means that the suggestions offered
by State Senator Picrson, of Union,
10 increase the life of the road por-
ton of the bonds, so as to preclude
any possibility of there not being
enough money to pay for the high
ways, has been rejected.
Had the Pierson plan gone through
it has been estimated 1t would have
cntailed an additional cost to the
taxpayers in interest on the bonds
running we'll over SIS, 900, 900. By the
terms of the plans outlined recently
by both the State House Commission
and the State Highway Commission
the total interest charges for the
bonds will be $~13,221,1S5, which is
a saving of approximately another
$13,000,00 over the original pro-
posal for issuing the bonds. The
members of the State House Com
mission have decided to adhere to
the method worked out which will
accomplish this saving.
Mr.. Pierson proposed to make the
life of the road bonds Is years in
stead of 10 years and to cut the in
terest rate from Az to Az per cent.
This, it is estimated. would have
jumped the final interest charges on
the bonds to between eighteen and
nineteen million dollars, instead OF
the thirteen millions now estimated.
The taxpayers of the state would
Rave had to stand the jump.
The plan to change was made on
the theory that there would be GER
tain extras" in road costs, which
the state would have to meet and
maybe the $4,000, 900 would not
provide enough to go around. But
the feeling of the states financial
officers was that the people voted
this amount and nothing more and
that they should not be saddled with
greater interest charges than nee
essary.

WINDOWLESS BUILDINGS
PREDICTED FOR FUTURE

CLEVELAND. April 2S.-(By The
Associated Press)-The downtown
building as we'll as the factory of the

out windows, and to depend upon
artificial means for light and pure
air, according to officials of the Nela
Park Research Laboratories of the
General Electric Company here.
Interior lighting for every work.
ing purpose has been perfected to a
stage where it even surpasses day
light" said DIR. Matt Luckiesh, of
the laboratory.
According to DR.. Luokiesh, prelim-
mary findings in the research work
have demonstrated that daylight ac-
tually costs more to factories, office
buildings, museums and public
buildings than electric illumination.
I'VE congratulate ourselves on Jul
free sunlight" said DR.. Luckiesh,
yet we pay dearly for it. In the
first place, buildings securing most
of their illumination through win
dow panes show a heavy ledger item
for replacement of glass and general
maintenance of cleaning, as well as
for stills and window frames.
Secondly, we have discovered by
actual tests that in a large number
of buildings the loss of heat is 20
per cent over that in buildings hav-
ing no windows.
Thirdly, there is the tremendous
cost incidental to the fading of dec
orations and the cost of removing
the large quantities of dirt and SCOT
that blow in through windows each
day.
Probably the greatest costs to fac
tories and public buildings, however,
lies in the ground areas given over
to courts or light shafts. Besides
the initial cost of this property, usu-
ally a total waste, the taxes expend-
ed in keeping it clear for daylight
each year is staggering.

ment bonds and increases the avail
able supply of such issues.
A the boom goes too far, banks
get oyerextended and must call m
loans. More bonds are sold AMI
prices tumble. Concerns which are
caught must iiquidate and forced
sales means sacrifice prices. The
moment the public sees prices begin
to weaken. demand disappears as
quickly as 1t appears in a rising
market. Business slows up and funds
begin to accumulate both with the
investor who saves more in dull
times than in boom times and the
banks who now have a slackened
demand for commercial loans.
Both turn again to the bond
market and seek to invest these
surplus funds. Demand for bonds
again picks up and prices begin to
rise. As they go up the buying
increases. A certain speculative ell
ement, busy in the stock market dur
ing the boom turns to bonds for a
possible speculative profit.
1.-THE true investor" concluded Mr..
Babson, Should not be used by
these fluctuations but should buy for
regular income rather than spec
ulative profit. The position of the
market when the funds are availa
BILE should govern only the type Of
security selected. If bond prices
are high, buy short time issues that
funds may be r~e-invested to advan-
tage later on. When bond prices
are low. buy long time issues that
the relatively high income available
at that time may be enjoyed as long
as possible"
General business continues its
sidewise movement. The index of
the Babsonchart shows activity at
3 per cent above normal. The same
level as last week.
