Prices rose 80 to 98 points in the first

By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. October 2.-The unex-

ed by the census bureau this morn
ing, coupled with strong Liverpool
cables, caused a jump of 81 to 4S
points in cotton prices at the open
ing.
This was quickly followed by further
upturns that carried october contract
to 1885 and December to 29.1s, or
over Sc bale above Mondays close
and was within 80 points of the sea-
sons high level.
Publication of the government con-
dition report later, however, swung
the market violently the other way,
and within ten minutes prices had
dropped fully $50 to $50 points, or
from 81 to 50 a bale. December sold
as low as 1880 and January 27.00.

Machine to Plant Trees.

THE forest service possesses a
mechanical means of planting
from 10000 to 5000 tree seedlings a
day. Previous to the adoption Of this
machine, the planting was done by
hand at the rate of 1900 to 1900 trees
each day per man.
The machine was designed to set
out cabbage and tomato plants but
has been found to operate equally.
well with trees.
1t is about the size of an ordinary
moving machine and is run by three
men and two horses. One man drives
the team while the two others handle
the seedlings.
The machine makes a furrow in
which the trees are set at any de-
sired distance, and an automatic de-
vice indicates where they should be
dropped.
Two metal-tired wheels push and
roll the dirt firmly down around the
roots. This is a very desirable fea-.
ture, because the trees are apt to die
If this precaution is not taken.
Two attachments make 1t possible
to place water and fertilizer at the
roots of each Seeding. Another at.
tachment marks the line on which the
next row of trees is to be planted.

Where Freezing Helps.

.XHYHEN building deep shafts through
soft and moist ground, the min
ing engineer very often is confronted
by difficulties that up 70 short time
ago seemed to be unsurmountable.
For instance, water often spurts from
the ground, and 1t has happened that
water flowed from the walls OF the
shaft in such quantities that it could
no longer be controlled by powerful
pumps. A very novel method was
some time ago discovered which en-
ables the mining engineer to continue
and complete work. The ground
through which the shaft is to pass is
frozen solid, which makes the work
much easter, doing away with the
danger. The freezing is accomplished
by means of cold air pumped through
tubes into the shaft, or by the cir-
culatlon of very cold solutions.

all kinds of strength tests to ascer-
tain accurately all the data possible
about the ability of these important
aircraft appliances to Withstand serv-
ice stresses and strains. You would
be surprised to see how strong these
curious wedge-shaped girders really
are. One of them, fourteen and one
half inches high and sixteen. feet
long, weighs only five and one third
pounds. Notwithstanding that. when
used as a beam it viii support at
one time eighteen girls. whose av-

of half-hundred girls of similar in

Duraiumin girders weigh only one
third of a pound per linear foot, yet
where they are used as beams for
test purposes and exposed to loads
evenly distributed they will carry a
burden of 125 pounds per running
foot. e t
IN IHe recent government tests one
of these girders sixteen feet in length
failed when used as beam only
when load of more than one ton
was applied. When used as column
similar girders resisted collapse until
loads as heavy as 5000 pounds apiece
were applied. In word, one of these
girders used as a column is capaci-
tated to support weight more than
s45 times as heavy as the weight of
the sustaining column. The tests
showed that one of these astonishing
ly strong girders would carry a beam
load of 1000 pounds or column bur-
den of $500 pounds Indefinitely.

nURALUMIN is an alloy of alumi-

Generally speaking the miracle alloy
contains about 80 per cent aluminium,
s.5 to AS per cent of copper and one
half of 1 per cent of magnesium.
Duralumin was produced initially by
a German metallurgical chemist
named Within. 1t was introduced to
the United States about seven years
ago and was developed at the urge of
the United States Navy for rigid
airship girder construction. Duralu-
min has a tensile strength of $1,000
pounds per square inch of surface,
while the tensile strength of struc.
tural steel ranges from $1,000 to 65,-

hungry hogs at the naval farm. The
scrambling squealers pile on avoirdu-

FIVE to seven months, when they

the fattening porkers get to eat is
carefully selected, fresh garbage. The
naval hog farm is one government
establishment that makes money for
your Uncle Samuel every season.
The formation of the hog-feeding
enterprise was consummated in this
way: Several farmers had previously
been paid by the Naval Academy di-
rectors to haul away the garbage
daily. The authorities finally learned
that one of these men after several
years had accumulated enough capt.
tai from transporting the garbage to
his home farm and there converting
it into hams, sausage and bacon to
pay for a 250-acre. farm. Figuring
that if the average farmer could
make attractive returns from such
activities the United States govern
ment could do at least as well, the
maritime leaders consulted with the
Department of Agriculture the out

Some business men are so ef-
ficient that they can play golf
with one hand and answer the
telephone with the other.
One guy was so enthusiastic
ever his practicing that he took
the receiver off the hook and
hoIlored Fore into the mouth
piece.
Two days later this same bird
tried to sign check with a nib
HEX.
He discovered his mistake and
then tried to erase it with his
brassie.
It got 50 had that whenever
anybody called to see him, in
stead Of asking who It was, he
had the telephone operator find
cut IL he could play golf.
No matter how busy he was
he'd see anybody claiming to play
Q better game than he could.
Instead of asking for your
card, his secretary would take
your golf score in to him.
He'd compare it with his and
Il yours was worse he'd send
word out for you TO come back
when you had learned how to
play.
One stenOgrapher said that her
boss wasn't attending to business.
He was paving golf all the time
instead of petting her.
But a business man has got to
have some diversion. He can't
hold his stenographer's hand con-
stantly.
A lot of executives are so in.
terested in golf that they only
take two or three hours for
lunch.
They want to hurry and get
back to the office so that they
can practice some new shots.
When they want to make their
indoor game god and hard they
put five or six filters around
the room and use them for water
hazards.
And whenever one of them
gets broken, the chief clerk
doesn't like to mention it to the
boss, so he blames it on the Of
flee boy.
So If your employer doesn't
accomplish much work at the
office, don't worry. The chances
are he does plenty of digging
out on the golf course.
