BIG LOANS PLANNED.
Japan to Float Heavy Domestic
Bond Issues

TOXIC. May 24.-New domestic
bond issues, totaling 155,000,000 yen,
will be floated by the Japanese gov
eminent during the fiscal year 1924
1925, provided loan market condi-
lions are favorable. according to an
announcement by the department of
finance.
The government must also float
conversion issues totaling 419,000,000
yen to take care of old issues matur-
ing within the new fiscal year, from
April l, 1924, to March 81, 1925. In
addition it is hoped to place on the
market other issues totaling 100000
yen which were scheduled for 1928
1924, but withheld owing to unfavor-
able market conditions. These bring
the total of projected domestic loans
for the year to 653,000,000 yen.
Reconstruction work made neces-
sary by the earthquake disaster will
absorb nearly all the proceeds of the
new issues.
The old issues maturing within the
new fiscal year are in eight series,
principally per cent treasury bonds.
Conversion issues will be floated for
each series as ii expires.
Department of finance officials state
that 21.000,000 yen of the loans re-
cently f1oated in New York and Lon
don will be used at home for recon-
struction.

KISSING LOSES FAVOR.
Movement Against Practice Grows
in Spain.

MADRID, May 24.-Kissing is going
out of favor among Spaniards. The
league against the promiscuous kiss
ing of children. formed some years
ago, has decided to extend its efforts
and to start a campaign against the
kissing prevalent among women when
they meet or take leave of each other.
The leaders of the movement assert
that much hygienic good has been
done by the restriction of the oScula-
tiOn of children, and they express the
opinion that women generally. will
welcome a similar measure, for, as
they argue, in most instances kissing
does not mean friendship.

CULLMAN.. Ala, Oct. 1O.-(Spe- cial)-Cullman high defeated Mortimer Jordan by the count of 46 to o Friday afternoon in a one-sided struggle here, the locals completely Outplaying the visitors at every stage of the game.
 An entire scrub team started the game for CullmaH and played the first quarter, emerging on. the big end of a $ to 0 score. Four regulars were then sent into the fray, and the locals be- gan steady series of marches down the field. Not more than four regulars were in the game at any stage.
 Fisher, for Cullman, sent two drop kicks through the uprights for goals from the field during the game, one of the boots being made from the 4O- yard line. Allison, scrub back, was the star of the pony backfield which worked most of the game for Cullman. He looks like a coming star.
 Cullman opened up a forward pass ing attack in the final period, com pleting six passes.

FRESHMEN BEAT
 AGGIES, 2S TO Q

Led by their doughty little captain, Miller, the Birmingham-South fresh men battled their way to a 2S to 0 victory over the game Albertville Ag- gies Friday afternoon in Munger bowl. Taking the initial kickoff of the game on his own goal line, Miller raced the length of the field, aided by good inter- ference for a touchdown. The Aggies, nothing daunted, came back to hold the Rats scoreless for the remainder of the quarter.
 The Freshmen had difficulty getting their attack under way in the first half, but their line was almost impregnable to the assaults of the Aggies. The Frosh managed to score later on a pass from Bradford to Beck, which the lat ter fumbled and which Allen recovered behind the goal line. Miller missed the try for goal.
 Bradford Intercepts Pass
 The ball went back and forth in the third quarter as first one side and then the other took advantage of some open ing. The Freshies had the ball on the Aggie 10-yard line when Curry picked up a tumble and carried it out to the 45-yard stripe. Then Bradford, for the EoOuLucEultCSy AhlClCCpNCu VI PuSS anu tore of a 45-yard run for tOuchdowlI. Miller kicked the goal.
 After the last quarter got we'll under way the Freshmen opened up an aeria! attack that puzzled the Aggies and that gained a field goal and a touch down for the former. Miller passed first to Bradford, who ran 9 yards. The Freshmen Offense crumpled, but Miller made a field try good from the 2O-yard marker at an angle.

on Wilson's single and scored when Judge Juggled Jackson's grounder.. Gowdy's hot grounder went through Bluege's legs at short and Wilson came home with the third run, but Barnes and Lindstrom were quickly retired.
 Checked by a double play that off set two hits in the seventh the Sen ators finally broke through Barnes Tn the eighth and tied the score before Art Nehf, who had twirled and lost yesterday, came in and stopped the rally. Leibold, diminutive pinch hitter opened the attack with one out, when he lined a double to left. Ruel scratched an infield hit, his first of the series, and Tate, batting for Marberry, filled the bases when he walked. McNeely's fly to Meusel was too short for Lei bold to make a dash for home but liar ris brought him and Ruel in with single that took a had bound over Lindstrom's head into left field. Barnes withdrew at this juncture and Nehf retired Rice to end the inning.
 Pave The Way
 Thus, while the Senators, by their own mistakes, paved the way for all the Giant scoring, they also benefited from several breaks" at critical mo- ments. Harris telling single Tn the eighth seemed headed for LindstrOm's glove and a third out when it bounded over the youngsters head. In the twelfth Ruels double followed an er- TOT by Gowdy on an easy chance to retire the Washington backStop, while McNeely's double was a hit similar to that of Harris.
 Throughout the earlier part of the game, hits were constantly cut off by the most brilliant sort of fielding on the part of both teams, a feature that was only one of many that were bound up in this thrilling struggle. In the second, Bluege robbed Wilson of hit by taking his grounder back of second and making a fast throw to first, while Wilson himself pulled q start ling play when he made diving catch of Rice's hot liner in the fourth.
