COTTON CROP At
CRUCIAL STAGE

The United States viii have b
cotton crop this year Of approx
mately 1851 900 bales, the Crop
Reporting Board OF the Department
OF Agriculture announced today.
This estimate was based on con.
dition OF 69.S per cent OF normal
on August 1.
notwithstanding the crops loss
Of condition from July is to Au-
gust /, the decline Is less than
usual, 80 that the indicated produc.
ton shows an increase of about
253 900 bales. The Improvement in
prospects occurred chiefly during
the last week OF July, and was due
largely to the fact that the num-
Der OF hoppers decreased and the
cotton began squaring and bloom
ing much more freely.
The boards report said weather
conditions and damage caused by
the hopper interfered seriously with
the setting II early bolls.
The plants are In most areas
larger than they were last year at
this time and throughout most Of
the belt, except In portions Of the
Piedmont area OF South Carolina
and adjoining States, the plants
were either blooming freely or were
showing an increased number Of
forms on August 1.
Boil weevils are increasing In
portions of the Gulf States and
Oklahoma, and there Is menace Of
material damage by this insect
should rainy weather come during
the remainder of the season.
AT this time the crop il IN n
critical stage Of its development
and fruiting will be materially at
fected by weather conditions DUR
ing the next month or six weeks, =
the board said. Almost every.
where Throughout the cotton belt
the crop Il reported as being from
q week to 10 days late, so that It
will need ample time In the fall
for maturing"

AGE OF ALLOYS
 ON THRESHOLD
Chemists See End Of the So.
 Called 'Iron Age"

Philadelphia, Sept. g GP,-The iron age is about to pass before the ad- vance of the age of alloys, the American chemical society was told yesterday.
 Dr. Irving Langmuir. assistant di- rector of the General Electric Con- pany research laboratory, Schenec- tady, N. T., in telling of the dawn of the new era at public meeting of the society's convention, declared the plain metals no longer are sufficient for the worlds work.
 He envisioned the day when sky scrapers would be constructed of alloyed steel welded together in- stead of .riveted, and with the elim- ination of the noisy riveter, he said, our cities would become better places in which to live.
 This transformation from riveting to welding, he said, would be hastened with the discovery of a method of atomic hydrogen welding, which, he declared. produces a heat capable of welding all known metals.
 The atomic hydrogen flame he de- clared the hottest known to man, having a temperature of 1000 to 5000 degrees centigrade or about 5000 to 5000 degrees Fahrenheit.
 A feature of the afternoon meet ing was the presentation of a cash award to Dr. Paul Sabatier, Nobel prize winner in 1912, and dean of the school of science at the Univer- sity of Toulouse, France, by the firm of Proctor and Gamble of Cincinnati for his work in the hydrogenation of oils.
 Dr. Sabatier was one of a group of foreign and American chemists who at the ceremony were awarded diplomas of honorary membership in the society.
 The others included Theodore w. Richards, Harvard university.

LABOR DELEGATES
 ! TO DECIDE POLICY
Fate of Their Proposed Bank Taken Up at Executive Session

Danbury, Sept. Pl-The Con- neGticut Federation of Labor went into. executive session shortly before, noon today to decide the fate of the proposed state labor bank.

 No new subscriptions have been pledged in year.
 MT. Ornburn proposed that the convention decide whether all of the money should be returned or that the campaign be continued, on which question the delegates went into an executive session. The senti- ment of the greater number of the deleeates favored the continuation of the plan, despite the rather dis couraging report. 1t was said.
 Twelve resolutions were approved by the convention this morning One called upon President Coolidge for an investigation into the alleged unfair handling of the government printing office by Public Printer Car ter, charging that he had dis charged, without cause, many who were due for pensions in a few months, and that he also discharged and refused to hire ex-service men.
 The cooperation of the state la Dor federation was pledged to the barbers in their intended fight in the next legislature to restrain the cos meticians and hairdressers from cutting women's and children's hair. The barbers will seek to pass amendment to the 22-year-old li- cense laws.

.WaN Street Briefs

New York. Sept. R>-An advance of more than ten points in Western Union Telegraph shares to 1575s in the last few days has drawn atten- ton in the street to the expansion of the company's business this year which is said to be best in its his- tory. Other reasons advanced for the sharp upward movement in the stock Is the still larger volume of business anticipated by the linking up of another high speed European cable and the meeting of directors this month for dividend action.
 Continuation of the sagging ten dencies noted in the building indus try in earlier months from similar periods year ago is shown in Brad streets tabulation of building per mits for August at 153 American cities.
