The weather in this locality Friday

less, and were ready for more today
If the chill was not too severe. Bush
worked along with Hodapp in the
short field Friday and proved to the
onlookers he could fill the bill If neces-
sity demands.
Bush Works Out
Bush took a long workout at the
position in order to get in shape him
self and also to give Ho5app some
pointers. He gave the Cincinnati lad
personal attention and improved the
boys style Of handling double-plays,
and in throwing from deep short.
The Tribe manager also gave Third
Baseman Campbell individual instruc-
ton in the art Of guarding that sta
ton. Second Baseman Sticking was
excused from the Friday practice be-
cause Of a lame ankle received in the
Cincinnati game. He will not be back
in uniform until Monday. Janvrtn
filled Sicking5s position Friday.
Outfielder Allen obtained from Beau
mont in a trial agreement took his

use Smith, Burwell and Petty on the
mound and Kruger and Miller behind
the bat.
Miller has not heard anything def
mite from his Newark managerial
proposition. Christenbury will play
right field Tuesday and probably fol-
low Schmandt in the batting order
Owing to Sicking's lameness, Janvrin
may start at second. The other parts
of the lineup will be the same as in
the Cincinnati game.

Now a harvest of such dimensions IS
easily absorbed. and it is doubtful
whether on account Of the increase In
the direct demand or in the indirect
demand. represented by corn-fed ami
mails, world requirements have not
outstripped supplies.
French Situation still Critical.
Adoption by the French chamber
of deputies of the new fiscal program,
which includes the 20 per cent tax in
crease and retrenchment in recon
struction expenditures, has failed 10
more than temporarily help the franc.
Neither has the statement by the
French president that there would be
no more fresh borrowing, that what
ever deficit remained in the ex-
traordinary budget would be provid-
ed for by a larger postponement of
projects in the devastated regions
Equally ineffective along the same
line have been the favorable fore
casts regarding the Dawes commit
tee report.
One explanation for the unrespon-
siveness of the franc lies in the con-
has crept into the French financial
structure, partly through the piling
up of internal loans and partly
through the rapid expansion during
the last TWO months IN paper note
issues. The second explanation is
that there has been a loss of conf
dence among the holders of the franc,
because the situation during the last
year has been so persistently misrep-
resented to them.
Wall street Accepts Compromise.
Wall street is disposed TO accept
the compromise tax program as the
best that could be expected under
the circumstances. The Mellon pro-
posal for a 25 per cent maximum
surtax would have made it worth
while for people of large incomes to
shift over from tax-exempt to tax
able securities. A 37k per cent
maximum would not. 1t would, how
ever. encourage capital now in hiding

class of securities return. Then, be-
sides, there is the likelihood that the
3712 per cent surtaX will be shaved
down after the Senate has acted and
the new revenue bill goes into the con-
ference committee.

Farmers in Iowa, Illinois. Indiana
and Minnesota appeared to be eX-
tensively participating in the move

an approach of the dollar-a-bushel el

reported as giving adherence to the
movement in forty counties. Aside
from rural dissatisfaction with cur
rent prices, the breaking up of

that farm deliveries were likely to
