of a warrant officer of the Army BY
the joint service pay act of June 10
1922. which in this case amounts tC
$23.25 per month since July l. 1922
Under the act of June T. 1920, IL Is
alleged, all retired enlisted men who
served honorably as commissions eG
officers at some time between April s
1917, and November II, 1918, are en-
titled to the retired pay of a warrant

tired enlisted men of this class pro
Nides that ION and after July |. 1922
retired enlisted men of the Army and
Marine Corps shall have their retired
pay computed as now authorized by
law on the basis of pay as provided
in this act
This provision it is pointed out by
legal authorities. defines in no uncer-
tain terms that this class of men are
entitled to have their pay, previously
authorized as that of warrant officer
computed on the higher basis of the
joint service pay act. 1t Is estimated
that about 900 men in the Army alone
will come under this same category

Great concern has been expressed
by the Navy Department over the
large number of Naval Academy
graduates whose designations are be-
ing received by the Secretary of the
Navy, averaging from 16 to q
each month. Rear Admiral William
r. Shoemaker, chief of the Bureau
of Navigation. attributes these whole
sale designations to the poor prospect
of promotion, which is due to 500 Of
nParS h0 comm lie stoned hV
act of Congress which authorizes
their entry into the service in a diff
ferent class relative to age and grade
retirement from all other officers.
Officers of the line normally retire
as lieutenant commanders at the age
of As. as commanders at the age OF
so. and as captains at the age Of So
Ordinarily, however, these officers
prior to retirement would have five
years service in the grade of lieu
tenant commander, the same amount
of service in the grade of commander
and six years of service in the grade
of captain. Prior to their retirement
however, each of the 500 officers will
serve 10 years as lieutenant com
mander even though he is past
the age of IS years, six years as com
mander though past the age of so and
eight years as captain though past
the age Of 80 years.
Being older than the Naval Acade-
my graduates and on the same place
on the seniority list, these 500 of
ficers will serve in the various grades
for several years beyond the retire
ment time Of the academy graduates
Retaining these men on the list as
lieutenant commanders for a period
Of five years longer than the reten-
tion of the academy graduates OF
approximately the same length OF
service will result. it is pointed out
in block promotion of Nava
Academy officers to the rank OF lieu

declared Admiral Shoemaker, is the
cause of the extraordinary number
of designations from the service
which is due to the preferred status
in which Congress has placed these
officers.

REPORT FEARS RULE COTTON
 DURING WEEK
Trading Consists Princi' pally In Evening Up
 Prior To Forecast

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 26.-The cotton market was ruled last week main- ly by fears as to what the government crop report issued right at the week. end might show. Trading was made up principally of evening up transactions in advance of the report. Price conse- quently fluctuated back and forth with irl a comparatively narrow range prior to the publication of the crop figure at 10 o'clock Saturday morning.
 During the brief hour remaining of Saturdays short session the market made up for its slow movement earlier in the week by violent price movements both the high and low points of the week having been made within less than a half hour with a spread of 135 points for December, the most active trading month. Just prior to the receipt of tie flash giving the bureaus crop forecast of 12,675,000 bales, the market ad- vanced suddenly to so points. No sat isfactory explanation was found for the sudden advance, it being assumed that some traders feeling that the report would be bullish engaged in wild buy ing.
 The condition average of 54.7 per cent was rather lower than expected. When, however, it was seen that the estimated yield and the ginning total of 7,600,S26 bales were very much larger than expected, prices reeeded rapidly, losing 115 points in a few minutes and dropping to 21.95c for December before the decline was checked. December finally closed al 22.11c or 39 points below the previous close and ,49 points below the close ct the preceding Saturday.
 The market was sustained to a great extent during the week by cold weather throughout the cotton belt, which

range throughout the week, the price of the liens showed only a fractional net change. ,.
 Trading continued on heavy scale, with temporary stimulus derived from the high premium established by the bonds in London. '.
 Chief trading interest centered m railroad securities, which were favora- bly influenced by encouraging Septem- ber earnings reports and further expan, sion in freight traffic during the second week of October, when car loadings reached the highest level of the year. Both high grade and speculative issues shared in the improvement.
 Sugar company liens were consplc- uous weak spots. Selling of the lead CTS in this group was inspired by strike disturbances in Cuba and reports or e1- cessive supplies held by European coun- tries.
 The response of United States gov ernment obligations to lower money rates was measured by rise in treas7 ury 4 1-4s to 107, record hlgh prlce. Ali Liberty bonds were firm.

 The office is a brick structure of attractive design, the interior Of whlcn is arranged for quick handling of busl- ness. There are four private ottlces: rest rooms. tiled floors, Florentine and clear glass finish, gas heat and other conyeniences which makes the lumber plant one of the best equipped Tn this district.
 The company constructed two sheds, each POO feet in length, during the sum mer. A large and compile stock of everything needed in the building ma terial is stored in these sheds.

 A recently completed spur track of the Louisville and Nashville railroad affords the company excellent trackagc facilities which extend through the yards from First avenue, between Sixty-fourth and Sixty-fifth streets.
 Some idea of the size of the yards as well as of the volume of business carried on can be gained from the fact that a stock of 100000 feet of lumber is kept on hand, in addition 10 everything that is embraced under the head of building material.

 | To explain, briefly the basis upon which present studies of future weather are being made, they are laid first of all upon the assumption, now widely accepted, that the temperatures of ocean currents control inland weather The temperature of ocean waters, in turn, is controlled by the suns heat. Variations in the heat radiation of the sun, however, are not reflected in ocean waters for several years. Because of this lag, it is now considered a pos sibility that weather can be fairly well foretold long in advance.
 The above chart shows the varia- tions in the suns heat, with a defi- ciency apparent since February, 1922 It is believed that those deficiencies will cause abnormal weather and low temperatures, with possibly long, cold winter just ahead. If weather can, in the years to come, be foretold in this manner, the incalculable service to business can readily be sen.
