the old barn or shanty on the out

orders and send forth their wares in

because of the poor ~erVice on the
New Haven as well as on the Boston
and Maine west.
I'VE are losing customers in the
middle west all the time" he con-
tinued, for they are beginning TO
buy from Chicago, Milwaukee ana
other centers that may be near them,
because they cannot be sure that our
shoes will get to them in time. our
only alternative is express, which al
WAYS means a dead loss. This is a
tremendous handicap to the business.
The situation of the New England
roads was far from hopeless. Mr..
Jones asserted, for there was far more
freight in their territory than they
could handle, and the question was
primarily one of management, which
on both the New Haven and Boston
and Maine was efficient"
Defense of the New Haven was
then begun by Edward G.. Buckley,
vice president and general counsel OF
that road, who asked Mr.. Jones
whether he realized that the roads
ills were due to it's partial federal
control during the war, and its re-
turn to it's present managers by the
government with a 100000 deficit.
"If that had happened to your
plant" Mr.. Buckley went on, and II
YOU reduced that deficit to $13,OO0,0OO

control and to $5.000,000 in the second

and the coal strike, would you think
that that should be attributed to in

membership of the Shoe and Leather
Exchange, which he said included
every shoe manufacturer and dealer
in New England. that state control
and state trusteeship. as suggested
by the joint New England committee
in it's report. was the only solution
of the situation, made serious, he
said. by the weak condition of the
two major New England systems.
The New Hampshire section of the
joint committee, which has filed i
dissenting opinion in the report, re-
commencing consolidation with out
side trunk lines, entered the contro-
versy with sharp questioning of Mr..
Jones Clarence E. Carr, one of the
five New Hampshire committeeman.
DO YOU expect that the consolida-
ton within New England of its weak
roads is going to result in the forma-
ton of a stronger one?" Mr.. Carr in
quired.
Not until they are rehabilitated,"
Mr.. Jones replied.

OPENING GAME OF
WORLD SERIES OCT.
10, YANKEE STADIUM

New York, Sept. 25.-(By The A.
P)-The 1923 Worlds series will
open on Wednesday, Oct. 10, at the
Yankee Stadium, home of the -hree-
time American League champions
and the greatest baseball park in
the country, regardless of wh3thei
the New York Giants or the Gin
cinnati Reds win the fight to rep
resent the National League IN the
annual classic.
This was decided today at meet
ing OF local club officials with COM
missioner kenesaw NJ. Lands, when
Colonel Jacob Rapport, owner OIL
the New York Yankees. won the toss
to decide which league should have
the honor of opening the series.
That's Il good start anyway,
said Colonel Rupert atterward.
Last year the Yankees lost the toss
and also the series, to the Gotham
rivals.
Should the Giants win the Nation
al League race, the title games will
alternate between the Yankee Sta
dunn and the Polo Grounds, until
one club wins the necessary major
ity of four contests.
IL the CincinnatiS should win the
first two games will be played In
the Yankee Stadium and the .leXt
two at Redland Field, with PEE
Sumable lapse of a day for the shift
ing of battlefields.
The scale OF prices at both local
parks will be similar to that of last
year at the Polo Grounds, where
the entire. series was contested.
These prices are So for box seats,
So for reserved seats, So for general
unreserved admission and 81 for
Heachers. The scale that would
prevail at Redland Field. in event
Cincinnati wins, will be determIn I'd
later.
The games will start at p. NJ,
the same as last year, it was further
decided. Commissioner Lands was
understood to have favored starting
them at 80 Z. NJ. to avoid as far
as possible the necessity of calling
extra-inning games, such as the
believed this time would be unsat-
isfactory from the point of view of
the fans.
Some surprise was occasioncd in
baseball circles by the fact that
John A. Heydler, president of the
National League, did not attend the
session, which was held within lew
blocks of his uptown office.
II was not aware of the meeting,
nor did I know that Commissioner
Lands was in town." said Mr.. Heyd-
Ter. when his attention was called
to the announcement of series ar
engagements. Beyond this. he de-
clined to comment.

Scotland Grouse
Is London Sport

London, Sept. IA. P. by Mail)-
Grouse shooting again has resumed
the prominence as q social function
that it held before the war. During
the conflict the men who could shoot
were far too busy at much grimmer
business, for the most part to find
time for shooting birds. But this
year shooting is more popular than
ever before.
On the opening day Of the season
the rush for the Scotch moors was
so great that 80 trains, fully laden,
left London for the land Of the hea-
Their. And it was not a cheap crowd
that filled them. Grouse shooting is
the most expensive sport in the
United Kingdom. Unless a man be
fairly we'll endowed with this worlds
goods. he cannot hope to do much
shooting on the moors.
A popular host who rents one Of
the best stocked grouse moors IN
Scotland. and likes his guests to have
a good time regardless of expense,
estimates that every grouse brought
down by his party costs him hve
dollars. 1t would be far cheaper 70
buy the birds in the open market.
Grouse shooting has gone up since
the war. 1t costs at least double
what it did in those far off days Ana
yet there are some Englishmen VINO
maintain that it is not true sport az
all, any more than was pigeon snoot-
ing. But today no man who values
his reputation as a sportsman wouiu
engage in pigeon shooting.
1t is predicted that the day SOON 'm
will come when grouse shooting WI,
be regarded as unsportsmanlike. anu
for much the same reason as appleu
to pigeon shooting. 1t does not CIV
the bird a fair chance. 1t makes .ns

and very small amount produces
remarkable results. The soap has
been used in hospitals for general
washing purposes, for sterilizing
instruments Git does not contain any
corrosive ingredients and hence can
be safely used for this purpose),
disinfecting clothes, rubber gloves,
etc. There are several uses for the
new soap in cosmetics. The soap is
made by dissolving one part OF the
silver lactate in fifteen parts OF
water and then adding enough
asaragar, or carrageon moss. to
make a jelly The mixture is then
added to the regular soap batch,
and the resulting product can he
