EUROPE TOO POOR T0'

Theodore H. Price Tells Cotton
States Merchants Conditions
on Contirent

MEMPHIS, TenhA Aug. ga
subnormality of confidence that is
restraining enterprise and gradual
ly enervating the energy that
ought to be DEVOTED to the produc-
ton and repro duction of wealth is
attributable Chiefly to the roaring
of the European lions chat we
can hear brH cannot see," said
Theodore il. Price, of New York
City, editor of Commerce and FL
nance, in. the address prepared
for delivery here today before the
Cotton States Merchants Associa-
ton.
His subject was ''The Roaring
Lions on the Hill of Business Diff
tlculty. The editor expressed
the opinion that while the unsettled
foreign situation does exert some
pressure on the stability of Amer
lean conditions, the European dogs
OF war are chained by economic dis
abilities of Europe, and they may
roar as much as they like but they
don't do any one, and least of ali
AMERICA, much harm.
We read in the papers each
morning he said, that revolution
threatens in Germany; that France
ana England are in hopeless anita
gon' SIN over the occupation of the
Frhr and the PREPARATIONS question,
nd that the driest consequences
will follow. We have heard this
for nearly six months and now are
still waiting and expecting the
worst.
Germany cannot fight, England,
although not lacking in courage,
will not fight and even though the
FrenchFrenshmen may make excit
ing speeches, they cannot fight if
no one will cross arms with them, he
argued.
st is about time for us to dis

firmness the opportunities that are
ours. If we do this and continue
simply to put one foot ahead of
another as we mount the hill of diff
ficulty we shall speedily reach the
summit and find ourselves within
the walls of the CELESTIAL CITY,
sooner than we expected and soon /
er than now seems possible to many
who persist in being pessimistic be-
cause the roar Of the chained lions
across the Atlantic has made the
bells of America prosperity for the
time inaudible.
Mr.. Price explained that there
have been numbers of instances in
history here linen have become
panic-stricken and alarmed by the
roar of invisible lions who proved
to be chained when they finally
came into sight In the United
States, in reviewing the economic

CUTTING TO BE SUPERVISED
Government Experts to Overlook vast
Logging Operations In the Sierra
Mountains.

One hundred and sixty-seven million
feet of timber were recently sold on
the Plumas National forest, Califor-
MIA, according to an announcement
made by the United States forest
service. The timber covers about a.
600 acres in what is known as the
sugar pine-yellow pine belt in the
heart of the Sierra mountains Of Cali
fornia.
1t is estimated that this amount OF
timber, together with the interrmixed
privately owned timber, will require
eight years to cut and convert into
lumber. Twenty-one miles of rail-
road will be built to connect with an
existing logging railroad 40 miles in
length. AS usual in this type Of forest,
says the announcement, the logging
will be done by donkey engines, but
forest service men will carefully SUI
pervise the cutting so that all young
and thrifty trees will be left for future
growth. Only marked trees will be
cut and brush and debris resulting
from logging will be piled and burned.

questioned advance in efficiency. This
new mode of naval propulsion is less
than ten years old, for it was in 1913
that the collier Jupiter, the first
American warship to be electrified,
was commissioned. The Jupiter is
now the Langley, an airplane carrier.
The New Mexico was the first cap
ital ship Of any nation to be equipped
for the electric drive. She was COM
missioned in the spring of 1918. Her
electrical apparatus was furnished by
the General Electric company, which
has since electrified the California and

construction, and these also are to be
electrified.

Engine Sets New Worlds Record.


Realizing that the most important
present development in aircraft en-
gines is their durability, the naval bu-
reau Of aeronautics recently increased
the endurance tests to as much as 300
hours. in three runs of 100 hours each.
The purpose of such a long test was to
run the engine to destruction, and thus
determine it's exact length of life. But
to the surprise of the bureau, one en-
CINE, instead of being run to destruc-
ton, was still in perfect condition at
the end Of the 300-hour test. Experts
of the bureau say this new aircraft en-
CINE has established worlds record
for fuel economy, as well as for dura-
bility. 1t is, they say, the best air
craft power equipment ever developed
The engine. described in Popular Me
chanics Magazine, is of the eight-cylin
der V-shaped type, and develops an
average horse power Of IT'S. This
would be sufficient to propel a five
passenger airplane at a speed of 81
miles an hour, which in 300 hours
would be equivalent to flying arounc
the world.

Foo Fans in LONDON Hotels.

With the coming of the first Of the
winter fogs in London, which often
make it impossible to see across the
street, the problem Of how to minim-
ize this necessary, or unavoidable,
evil in the great public rooms of
hotels has exercised the ingenuity of
the managers. Each hotel now deals
with the problem in its own way, and
with varying success.
The Savoy hotel now claims to have
the finest and swiftest system in the
world for dispelllng the fog. One hun
bred and fifty forced-draught, high
speed fans have been installed to be
used during the winter to pump out
any quantity of fog creeping in.

SERENADE, OLD AND MODERN
Present Idea Differs Largely From
That Which Many older Peo-
Pile May Remember.

Time was when serenades were Joy
to the heart and ear. Everyone was
pleased, excepting few unromantic
fathers who grew bit fatigued after
the fifth or sixth one Of an evening.
Those were the oftsung good old
days." There were guitars, mandolins,
tenor voices and jew's-harps. Moon
light streamed through the trees. The
notes Of a serenade were those of tur-
tie dove. They came from group OF
young Romeos helping one another out.
The modern serenade has been re-
vived along entirely different lines. II
is the outgrowth Of scheme to drag
young married couples and stay-at-
homes from their shells. 1t serves as
a wall of protest against any who show
signs Of quitting the festivities OF their
erstwhile cronles. For those who CON-
NIT such crimes there must be a pen
atty.
The members of certain crowds have
all been pledged by tacit agreement.
They band together in serenades after
a round of merry making, and drive to
the homes Of the absentees. There they
shout taunts at those who deserted the
festivities of the evening. First they
blow horns and sirens until all the
windows in the neighborhoOd go up and
shotguns have gained the range. Final
ly they break into slow dirge. The
last stanza of this is sung as they move
on to the home of another offender.

plane to Garry Fifty Soldiers.

The construction of an all metal air
plane which shall be the largest of its
tvpe in the world is the latest plan of
fine British air ministry. The machine
is designed to carry so fully-armed
men approximately a platoon Of sol
diers). 1t is proposed to equip it with
engines of the new semi-Diesel oil
tvne. Their use will not OIL very
considerably reduce the chances OF
fire in the air, but viii largely elimi-
nate the risk of the stoppages which
now result from the delicacy' of pres
ent-day carburetion and magnetic sys.

he a comparatively easy matter to con-
struct planes for carrying 100 soldiers
