COMMERCIAL AERONAUTTC
FAVORED BY ATTORNEYS

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 1.-The
assistance of the h..he riean Bar
association in procuring the enact
ment of state and federal legisla-
ton which will encourage the de-
velopment of commercial aeronau-
tics in the United States, was rec
commended to the convention today
by the organization committee
on the law of aeronautics.
The endorsement of legislation
fostering and regulating aeronau-
tics as set forth in H. R. 1874;
introduced in congress by Repre-.
sentative Samuel Winslow, was
urged upon the convention. This
bill proposes to create bureau of
civil acronautics in the der art4
ment of commerce for the pur-
pose of encouraging and regula.
ting the navigation of civil air
craft. 1t is expected that the bill
will be re-introduced at the forth.
coming session of congress.
The committee also recommend
ed that the attention of the as
sociation's membership be called to
the international problems con.
nected with aeronautics.

WHEAT CRASH COST
FARMERS BILLIONS

NEW YORK, Sept. Through
the decline in the prices of wheat
to- an average of IS or 80 cents
a bushel the farmers of the Unit
ed States have lost ability to liqui-
date Indebtedness aggregating
$3,000,000,O0O according to Gray
Silver of the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation. The present
price of wheat, experts declare, is
all the way from 10 to 80 cents a
bushel below the cost of produc-
ton, depending on the yield, value
of land, amount and rate of wages
paid for labor, distance from the
market etc.
Certain apologists and propagan-
dists for the Republican organi-
cation are asserting that the slump
in wheat is due to restrictions on
speculative activities. No author
ity on the subject believes this to
be true, but even if it were it
would only prove that a law for
which the Republicans have been
unjustifiably claiming credit has
proved a failure.
The special agricultural tariff"
of May, 1921, and the Fordney-
McCumber law of September, 1929,
put duties of 35 cents and 80
cents a bushel, respectively, on
wheat with the promise and loud
proclamation that this protection"
would give the farmer prosperity.
Wheat has fallen in price an aver
age of 70 cents a bushel since the
first of these two tariffs was en-
acted.
Europe's inability to buy In the
American market, primarily be-
cause of the chaos in her conditions
and the depreciation of her money,
and secondly, because of the deter
rent effect of the Republican prof
iteer's tariff is leaving the farm
ers of the United States with big
surplus of wheat-estimat at
215, 100000 bushels - on their
hands without prospect of selling
it in a favorable market.

when Langford hit you II was Ike
being hit with a baseball bat. He hit
you SO hard hat you didn't feel It.
It was like taking ether-you Just
went to sleep n you didn't know
anything about II untii you woke up.
"There was a peculiar and kindly
thing about Langford- When he
knocked a man out he always stuck
around until the man opened his eyes.
Then he'd say. 'Ah'm sorry, old man.
All didn't mean to hit you so hard
And 1 think he really meant T. liz

RADBOURNE WAS

OF TWO TEAMS

with a record of pitching seventy-two

back in 1884 land this record is clnssed
with the seven greatest achievements
In ~baseball1. was complete master OF
several teams in tho National league
during the days when he was supreme.
Philadelphia came into the National
league in 1883 and didn't win a game
from the king" until the season OF
1885 was we'll spent. A run OF eight
cen consecutive victories was the REQ
ord Radbourne had before the Phillies
solved his delivery.
Detroit had a ball team in the Ma
tional league those days. and hat ag-
~gregation. from May. 1889. until Au-
gust. 1885, failed to win a game from
the "old Hoss." losing twenty games
during that stretch before beating him.
In a series of four games. Boston
versus Providence. during 1884, Rad.
bourne pitched all OF them, beating
Boston four times and allowing but
n run, which meant three shutouts.
A hurler today who turned a trick ike
that would be immortalized.
