fourth place, but they are in third
again now and bid fair to be there at
the week end.
Chisox Tough for Griffs.
There is one thing that is a bigger
feather in Collins managerial cap
than even this good showing. 1t is
that the Chicago team, when the
Washin gtons finished with them on
their most recent visit West. had won
as many games from the champions
as they did all last season. If Wash
ington wants to know one Of the teams
that is making the going rough for
the champions let them consider the
COllins-ized SOX.
When it comes TO Philadelphia, how
ever, the Sox are just the other way
around, and that may be one reason
why the Athletics are higher up and
the Sox lower down than they would
like to be.
Last year Chicago won IL games
from Philadelphia and lost II. At the
end of the second invasion of West by
East this season Chicago had won
only four and the Athletics seven.
This half Of the series for the season
is over. and TO equal their record last
year the Sox now must beat the Atf1
letics Z out of the remaining II. If
they should do that, they might almost
tie the Athletics, provided they kept
up the fight against the other teams.

Collins Highly Esteemed.

in charge who not only knew base

Collins first went to Chicago Comis'

ROAD IMPROVEMENT PAID FOR
IN SHORTER TIME

The improvement of the i'm
nortant roads Of the country pays TOT
itself in a remarkably snort tlme'
according to the Bureau OF PuDllc
Roads of the United States depart
ment of Agriculture. Data coilecI-
ed in a survey Of highway trans
portation in Maine indicate tnat on
the basis OF present traffic the Soo
miles of most heavily Travelled road
in the State could be improved from
an earth-road condition to a nigh
type pavement at a cost, Win IN
terest at A per cent, which could pc
repaid by the savings in operatins
costs OF passenger cars only AZ
slightly more than four years.
The actual saving would be even
greater than this. Records snow
that traffic on the Maine highways
doubled in the period from 1916 10
1919, that it doubled again from
1919 to 1928, and a careful analysis
indicates that it will double again
in the period 1924 to 1880. AS the
traffic increases naturally the saw
ings in motor-vehicle operation will
increase.
Rapid increase in highway traf1lc
and large possible savings in motor
vehicle operation due to the improve
ment of important roads is condl-
ton common to every State.
Thomas H. Macdonald, Chief OF the
Bureau of Public Roads, says:
I'VE pay for improved roads whether
we have them or not, and we pay
less If we have them than il we do
without"

FARM POPULATION DECLINED

The farm population of the
United States decreased approx
mately $4,000 during 1924, accord
ing to estimates based on a survey
of $4,000 representative farms
made recently by the United States
Department of Agriculture. This is
drop of 6 per cent during that
year, the estimated farm population
on January L, 1925, being 31,l34,-
900 compared with 31.316,OOO on
January 1, 1924. This estimate in
cludes not only the agricultural
workers, but all men, women and
children living on the farms on that
date.
The movement from farm to
cities, towns and villages in 1924 is
estimated at 2,075,0OO; the move
ment to farms was 1,396,000 max
ing net movement from the farm
population of $4,000 persons, or
2.2 per cent. Births among the
farm population during 1924 are
estimated at 10000 and deaths at
266,000 leaving a natural increase
of $4,000 which reduced the loss
due to the cityward movement to
$4,000 OF 6 per cent.
A similar estimate made in 1922
showed loss in farm population OF
100000 as against $4,000 IN 1924
The gross movement from farms to
cities in 1922 was 1000 600 com
pared to 2,O75,00O in 1924, slight
increase. The gross movement back
to the farms in 1922 was $4,000
compared to 100000 in 1924, q
very decided increase. The net
movement from farms to cities If
1922 was 1.120,OO0 or 3.6 per cent
and in 1924, 679,00Oor 2.2 per cent.
The geographic divisions, the New
England and South Atlantic States,
showed net increase in farm popu-
lation for the year 1924, OF per
cent and 2 per cent, respectively.
All other divisions showed decreases,
the Mountain States leading with
loss of 2.S per cent.

TEN YEARS MAY FIND FAMOUS
+, MANGOSTEEN ON OUR
MARKETS
MARKETS

At some time in the future,
probably between 1885 and 1910,
the mangosteen, the most famous
fruit in the world, may make it's
first commercial appearance upon
the markets of the United States,
says the United States Department
of Agriculture. For many years it
was thought that this fruit could
not be cultivated outside the Asiatic
tropics, but experiments in the West
indies have proved this to be with
)ut foundation.
In the hope of providing
nucleus, from which later may be
developed orchards of sufficient size
to supply northern markets with
commercial quantities of the fruit,
the department has recently sent
several shipments OF young trees to
the Canal Zone, Costa RIGA, and
Honduras.
The mangosteen is unlike any
fruit cultivated in the United States,
and it can only be grown where the
temperature never drops below IS
degrees above zero. 1t is the size OF
mandarin orange, deep purple
externally, with thick, woody
rind. Within are several segments
of snow-white pulp of extremely
delicate flavor. Because OF its
great delicacy and the difficulty of
transporting the fruit long distances,
Queen Victoria once offered hand
some reward to the first man who
succeeded in placing dish OF man
gosteens on her table at Bucking-
ham Palace, but the reward was
never won.
With the advent of refrigeration,
it has become possible to send the
fruit north from the Tropics with
out great difficulty. 1t seems ,un7
likely that American markets Will be
supplied from southern Asia, how
ever. The development OF COM
mercial orchards in tropical Amer
lea will be slow process, but the
project is being undertaken with
energy, and it seems likely that an
other decade will see the first ship
ments of mangosteens reaching
New York.

strictly business channels for the
