PRODUCTION FOLLOWING
USUAL SEASONAL PATH
Fewer Building Permits Issued;
Large Contracts Decrease.

The drop in the pig-iron output
and falling off in steel production
and demand offer sharp contrast to
the upward trend in lumber and o..
ment production and increased con-
sumption of common brick, accord
ing to Engineering News Record.
Production appears to be following
the regular seasonal trends so far
as the basic materials are concerned.
Cement and brick reserves, how
ever. are heavier than a year ago.
while there is less lumber and steel
on hand. The whole production sit
uation is settling down to a point
where the mill output will be cur
tailed to meet the immediate needs
Of the consumer and the buyer will
endeavor to keep warehouse stocks
as low as possible.
There are few building permits
being issued and large contract let
ting has fallen off during the last
week. A slight gain, however, is
noted in the number Of large pub
lie jobs now out for bids.

SOUTH AFRICA LOOMS
AS AUTO TRADE FIELD
FSaIes Manager of General Motors
Tells of improvements.

Every year South Africa is becom-
ing a greater field for the automobile
business, according to Arthur Viii
Hams of the General Export Com
pany. in a statement made recently
while visiting the Odds Motor
Works. Nj. Williams has been as
ISOLATED with the sales end Of the
automobile business for the past
fourteen years. the last eight years
as manager of the South African
branch.
Erection Of dams and the building
Of irrigation systems have greatly
broadened the trade field of South
Africa during the past few years, he
said. The raising of citrOus fruits
and cotton and the rapid develop
ment Of the sugar industry have
added greatly to the business of
the country. These new activities
have resulted in an increase in pop
ulation and considerable road build
ing. The greatest need Of the coun-
try at the present time is additional
capital to develop resources.

1.-THE banding together Of large
numbers of our. people as a secret
organization and turning their
backs toward the salutary principle
of religious liberty and tolerance,
seemingly ready and willing to re-
pudiate the Declaration Of indie
pendence and nuIlify the Constitu-

and hate among the citizenship"
declared Albert J. Veneman of
Evansville, Ind, State deputy Of
the knights of Columbus of Indiana
today at twenty-third annual State
council meeting, n. Delaware and
Thirteenth SITS.
Some Hold Office
1.-THE distressing part Of it is that
among those who embrace this I'M
American idea we find men and
women Of professed learning and
culture, men aspiring to, or holding,
high public office. and who. If hold
ing office must first have made oath
to support the Constitution Of the
United States and Of the, State in
and under whose jurisdiction they
serve. These conditions are a
menace to American institutions"
Suffrage Best Weapon
The right Of suffrage is the best
weapon Of defense, Veneman said,
He urged that no candidate be sup
ported who does not unequivocably
subscribe to and support the Consti-
tuition, both in its letter and its
/ spirit.
He said that such conditions in the
country could not exist II the citizen

AUSTRALIA NEEDS
 ONE MORE POINT
Will Then Take Davis Tennis Challenge Round From France

Brookline, Mass, Sept. 6.-Aus- tralia needs to win but one of the two singles matches against France sscheduled for today to qualify for , the challenge round for the Davis cup tennis trophy while France must take both or return overseas elimin- atcd from Davis cup play by Aus traia for the third successive year. Play began on the Longwood Coun- try club courts here on Thursday. Gerald Patterson, Australian cap tain, who was defeated Thursday in straight sets by the 22-year-old La coste, will face Jean Borotra, the lcader of the French team. Pat O'Mara Wood will then oppose Rene Lacoste. As Patterson played only mediocre tennis in the Australian doubles victory yesterday and may lose his match to the French holder of the British singles title, the win ner of the inter-zone final may be decided only by the final match of the three days play.
 In yesterdays doubles match, the Australians had too much speed the Frenchmen being unable to cope with the superior hitting power di- rected at them, and won in straight sets On the first day of play La coste defeated Patterson and Wood defeated Borotra.

FIRST POLO GAME WILL TAKE PLACE ON TUESDAY

 cause of SOftneSs of Turf.

New York, Sept. 6,-Rain which yesterday saturated the internation- al field and made the turf unsafe for play, caused the postponement today of the first of the interna- tional polo series between the American and British fours. AS a result the first game will be played next Tuesday, the second and third matches following on their original dates unless the weather causes a .further postponement. >< The special committee in charge of the international series held out until the last minute last night before declaring the match off but just before dark it das deemed ad- visahle to postpone the opening tilt until Tuesday. The advance sale of seats had reached the 10000 point and the committee was re- luctant to take this action unless 1t was necessary but in statement made public the committee said the turf was in such condition that 1t would be unsafe to allow the game 10 proceed.

 Methods of Wills and FirpO

New York, Sept. 6.-Harry Wills and Luis Firpo, opposite in color, temperament and experience, differ as widely on training methods.
 The camp of the Wild Bull' first was pitched amid something of gail ety and excitement at Saratoga Springs and now is centered in that fistic mecca Madison Square Garden, Wills has chosen secluded spot on Peconic Bay near Southampton, six miles from telephone.
 Firpo's workouts were attended at Saratoga by patrons who were charged an admission fee and now he is an attraction for the curious in New York; Wills, comparatively free from inspection, Is entirely un- hampered by disturbing influences.
 Numerous sparring partners and attaches attend the Argentine, but the negro confines his aids to two men of his own race, both personal friends, Battling Owens and Jeff Clarke, the former for strength and the latter for speed.
 Firpo is surrounded entirely by masculine attendants; Wills lives a simple home life with his wife, his dog and his radio.
 The two challengers for Jack Dempsey's heavyweight crown agree on one point--neither follows the advice of trainer, but is guided ir his preparation by his own feelings based, on experience in training foI ] other engagements.
