Having beaten the Yanks two
years in row, and having taken
nine out of twelve decision combats
from them, we think we have an
edge on them and that's about all
we ever need to pound our way to
victory.
Mind you, we are looking for q
mighty tough fight from the other
boys. They made us play to the
limit to win in 1921. and even
though we took four straight from
them in 1922 there wasn't 4 single
game wherein we were absolutely
certain vtctors until the last man
was out.
As far as have been able to
figure things, the YanIxs pKayed

NOTE DECREASE IN
 HORSE POPULATION
Shortage of Financial Return for
 Breeders Is Reason

Chicago, July 24.-The tendency to- ward decreased horse breeding be- cause of small financial return prom ises a shortage in the horse popula- ton of the country unless measures are taken to rekindle interest in that business, the National Institute of Progressive Farming has asserted in announcing survey of the horse situ- ation. It quoted figures of the U. g. department of agriculture to show that there has been a decrease of about 60 per cent in the number of stallions in service in z the United States since 1915, decrease of 913,- 900 horses on farms between Jan. l, 1920, and Jan. 1, 1922, and de- crease during 1922 of 203,000 horses.
 Government figures, as quoted by the Institute, show that the monetary loss for horses last year was s29,1S0,- 900 and for mules $S,843,000; that horses under one year old had de- creased gradually in value from an average of s47.95 in 1914 to s2j.12 in 1923; one and under two years from s74.S7 in 1914 to $40.98 in 1923, and two years and over from s119.77 in 1914 to SIS in 1923. This depreciation fir value. and high costs of breeding, according to the Institute, have been largely responsible for the fact that many importers, breeders and show men are seeking other lines of busi- ness.
 There were 19,766,000 horses on farms and ranges in this country in 1920 with per capita value of so6.Sl and a total value of $1,907, 7,64S,0DO, the Institute pointed out, quoting gov ernment figures again, compared to 1S.s53,ooo head in 1923 with per capita value of s69.75 and total value of s1,314.a56.pOo. The aggregate value of both horses and mules in 1922 was s1,S26, 100000, compared to the 1916-20 average of s2,758, ,000, 900.

SPAIN DISTURBED 1 IN MOROCCO FEUD
Fighting in That Country UnpOpu-
 lar With Many Nationals

London, July 24.-Spain is facing
 grave crisis over the ldoroccan sit uation, says a Reuter- dispatch from Madrid. The problem appears every day to be farther from a solution. The situation is extremely delicate, and the abortive attempts which have been made to arrive at a bloodless settlement have only aggravated 1t.
 The Moroccan campaign is unpop- ular in many quarters, the corres- pondent continues, and the vaclllat- ing policy which has been the out come of many recent changes of gov ernment has so far produced no defi- mite results. The territory lost In 1921 has never been entirely reconquered and the civil protectorate which was declared last February exists in little more than name, inasmuch as the Riff leader, Adbelkrim, is still in possess sion of Q large portion of the zone and has been able to make his own terms with the Spanish in regard to the release of prisoners.
 The governments policy was to re- organize the army and make a dete- mined bid for the conquest of the zone, but the recurring demands in the press for the cessation of hostili- ties and the punishment of those re- sponsible for former defeats forced it, for time, to abandon the idea of fur ther aggressive action. The army was, however, reorganized and newly

SEEKING STANDARD NAMES
 FOR PLANTS AND FLOWERS
Reports on the Subject Have Been Re-
  ceiyed By American Nursery 
 mems Association.

Chicago. July A. - The chaotic state of affairs in the miscalling of names of flowers, plants and other perennials has made necessary the standardization of their names, and report on the subject has been adopt ed by the American Association of Nurserymen.
 The compilation of names of these perennials, the result of more than five years of actual work on the part of the subcommittee of the Ameri- can joint committee of horticultural ists is heralded as great stride for ward in the horticultural world.
 As an example, the committee pointed out that there are more than .2,000 names for roses Many names are used for the same rose, and this has resulted in complication. With the completion of the new nomencla- ture, it is hoped that use ofathe stan dard names will become general. ..
 Standardized perennial names, both common and scientific, will benefit the public and the grower according to the committee, and will tend to eliminate unfair practices. Heretofore growing. buying and selling have been largely guess work, the committee said and based on personal equation rather than on fair, square, open and accepted business standards.
 It is expected that the government will accept this nomenclature as an official standard.

STANDARD SIZE BRICK

Uniform Six to Be 8 Inches by sA
 Inches by 2A Inches, According to
 Manufacturers.
 Cleveland, July 24.-Through the good office of Herbert L. Hoover and the simplified practice division of the department of commerce, the brick industry has been enabled to sweep away an infinite variety of odd sizes of brick and establish one standard size for the seven billion bricks pro- produced every year in the United States, according to the Common Brick Manufacturers association head quarters here.
 This size is approximately 8 inches by S% inches by 2A inches. The only exception now to be allowed is in the case of smooth faced brick for special exterior use in which a very slight variation in one dimension only is permissible.
 The common brick industry estab- lished the standard size some years ago. but experienced trouble because its standard was not Insisted upon for public work by many architects.
 With the government now definite ly supporting the industry in its eff forts to standardize its product 1t is expected that before long all specif- cations will call for the standard sized brick, to the great benefit not only of the brick industry but to all users of the product.
