BUSINESS GAUGED

Employment Agencies LabOp's
 Curb Market

New York, Aug. 19 P-Wall street is the barometer Of big busi- ness, but there is another gauge equally important for the man in the street"
 It has no special designation, is not graced with name, and does not give out statements, but its quo tations are posted daily.
 This barometer consists of the em- ployment agencies which center around the Forties of Sixth avenue, and are scattered elsewhere in the city.
 Near Fifth Avenue The location is in itself an un- usual one. One block to the east is the exclusive shopping district of Fifth avenue, and one block to the west is the Broadway playground.
 The agencies maintain large bulle- tin boards in front of their small places with small slips of paper pasted to them. Each is the. offer ot job.
 One will herald the need of a "Dishwasher, $20 weekly" another for laborer at slightly more. Some recruit jobs in town, but the ma iiority of them are from far places. Many of the jobs are sight un- Iseen," with certain wages offered and transportation to some distant place.
 Food is a Factor l The matter Of transportation and "board'' is important to the appli- Icants. for few visit these sidewalk agencies until every other source | has been exhausted. At present, there are far more offers of jobs than takers. as a man finds it easier to shift with no money in the sum mer than in colder weather. Standing in knots on the sidewalk. workmen will discuss the, notices, much as brokers downtown discuss prices. sales and market conditions of certain stocks.
 Here the talk is about the range of wages, and the comparative de- sirability of shipping to lumber camp in Minnesota or. a railway camp in Arizona.
 One class of ihoboes permits com Ipanies to transport them with labor ing gangs of honest workmen and then jump camp" at the desiina- ton. In spite of all precautions. Fthere is "shrihkage" in almost 1 o,.,r,, consigDp,ant of men and agencies usually send a few more than are requested in order to be sure to deliver the right number.

AMERICAN TROOPS ARE WANTED AT THE BORDER
Town of Calexico Fears Trouble in Case Revolt Should Break
 Ont

San Diego, Calf, Aug. 19. tP- A garrison of 800 American troops from the Ninth Corps army area at San Francisco has been requested by the town of Calexico as a pro- lection in the event a revolt breaks out across the line in the Mexican border town of MeXicali, capitol of the northern district of Lawyer Cali fornia.
 The request for the soldiers was dispatched yesterday by the city trustees of Calcxico following a re- port that a revolutionary plot is still active in Mexicali, despite the arrest % the American side a few days ago of General Enrique Es- trada, former Mexican secretary of war and 150 of his followers.
 The eGneral was held under bond of $20,000, at a hearing before a |. s. commissioner yesterday and his chief aide Aurelio Sepulveda, a former Mexican army officer, under

Apologies for Being in
 Water. Needing Rescue

Boston, Aug. 19 LI9-The story was being told here today by Cap tain John c. Scott of the United Fruit steamer La Perla of a sailor so self effacing that he apologized for delaying the vessel when it stopped to fish him out of the shark infested waters of the Caribbean.
 The La Perla docked yesterday and among those on board was John Hartley. boatswain, Hartley was engaged in tightening an awning of the forward deck on August II when he lost footing and fell into the ocean.
 Captain Scott halted the ship, a life boat was lowered and Hartley rescued. As soon as he gained the deck the boatswain hastened for ward and touching his cap said, I'm sorry to have delayed the ship, captain" Then he modestly resum- ed his duties.

NEW TREATMENT
 AIDS VALENTINO
Screen Star Passes Crisis and
 Should Recover

New York, Aug. 19 LP-Rudolph Valentino of the silver sheet ap- peared today to have passed the crisis of a dangerous illness that sent him to the PolycIiuic hospital Sunday for a double operation.
 A special medicine. metephen, was at hand, however, for emergen- cy use if local blood poisoning should spread. The metephen, mercural antiseptic developed by Dr. George W. Raiziss, professor of chemo-therapy at the University of Pennsylvania. was sent from Phila- delphia by special messenger last night.
 The screen actors doctors said last night that he probably would recover unless there were unforeseen developments. Previously they had said local peritonitis or poisoning had followed his operation for ap- pendicitis and gastric ulcers, and that he would die if it became gen. eral.
 Dr. Raiziss said last night in Philadelphia that Valentino's physi- clans had prescribed the metephen, perhaps to be held in reserve for an emergency. metcphen, he said, had sometimes saved lives in apparently hopeless cases.
 Hospital attendants said early to- day that Valentines doctors left the hospital at seven last night, and had not returned. which they consider ed evidence there was no cause for alarm.
 The actor yesterday took the first nourishment since he was operated on. Last night he slipped chicken broth and later peptonized milk and vichy water were given Nm.

EUROPE'S VIEWS
 EAGERLY AWAITED
Reaction to Secretary KGllOg8'S
 Speech Withheld

Washington, Aug. 19 P)-Europes reaction to Secretary Kellogg's Plattsburgh speech dealing with the Geneva preliminary arms limitation conference will be watched here with considerable interest.
 Prepared after conferences with members of the American delegation who have returned from Geneva and, in it's final form, presumably bearing the approval of President Coolidge, whom the secretary visit ed before he spoke yesterday, its significance was clearly indicated by the fact that the full text was cabled to American diplomatic missions in all major capitols.
 Setting at rest published rumors that the United States might with draw from the Geneva deliberations, which have been complicated by ef- forts of the French and other dele gations to have a limitation formula adopted which would cover land and sea forces, aircraft and even national economic resources and possibly man power. Mir. Kellogg declared we are now working to make the Geneva meeting a suc- cess" and expressed hope that pro gress towards naval limitation as well as toward limitation of land armament will result"
 He made it clear that what we desire is results" but left the door open. if the Geneva meeting should adjourn without constructive action looking toward reduction of mili- tary burdens, for the Washington government 10 initiate a conference among great naval powers with a view to extending the scope of the Washington limitation agreements.
 q reiterate," he said, that the United States would be glad to CO operate with the naval powers in extending the principles of the Washington treaty to other classes of naval vessels, and I earnestly hope that such measure may soon be practicable"
 | Secretary Kellogg's demand for results can hardly be ignored by the foreign statesmen intereGted in the conference, and his address may stimulate the efforts of the mem- Ibers of the Geneva commission who are working for a simpler, more concrete formula than the complex and, in the American view, imprac- ticable objective favored by the group headed ty the French delega- ton.
 T believe" the secretary assert ed, that the only practicable basis for the reduction or the limitation of armaments is through dealing with military forces and visible tangible armaments."

LIGHTNING AGAIN
 HITS MAGAZINE
But No Lives Are Lost il VI-
 8inia Explosion

Norfolk, Va. Aug. 19 Pl-Light- ming is believed to have been the cause of an explosion last night at the Pig Point Army ammunition de- pot, IS miles from Porstmouth, which rocked the countryside.
 Unlike the similar explosion re- gently at the Lake Denmark, N. J., navy ammunition depot, however, mo lives were lost at Pig Point and the damage was said in reports re- Iceived here to have been confined Ito one magazine containing a bil- lion rounds Of small ammunition.
 Most of the personnel stationed at the depot was attending a moving picture entertainment when the ex- plosion occurred sending up q glare and clouds of smoke that were vis- lible many miles away up the James river and over Hampton Roads, The fire which followed the blast was quickly brought under control with the aid of apparatus from Ports mouth but, applying one of the les sons learned at Lake Denmark, the men working to prevent spread or the flames held themselves in readi- ness to get away quickly if it had become apparent that nearby maga-
 zines could not be saved.
 N Another point of contrast with the Lake Denmark disaster lay in the
 action of the lightning. There, an
 explosion immediately followed the
 striking of a magazine, while at Pig Point.it did not occur until two hours
 after the passage of an electrical
 storm. It was assumed that lightning
 caused a fire in the building which
 smoufdered slowly for some time
 before it gained sufficient headway
 to set off the top layer of ammuni-
 ton. This was the only layer which
 exploded said the report, the re-
 mainder going up in flame.

GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, June 15.-Commission
house buying on large scale in the
late dealings today pushed all grain
values upgrade on the board of trade.
The finish was strong and near the
top, most figures, corn finished y
to 1 * cents up, oats % to q cents
higher and provisions cents to 80
cents above yesterdays close.
Wheat values reached their high
est levels shortly before the final
gong. Free buying of the July de-
livery by shorts coming un the heels
of commission house buying on an
earlier break, found offerings scorce
and the market assembled rapidly.
Some realizing sales, however,
brought about slight reaction i'll
the final minutes. Although there
was nothing outstanding in the news
early, later reports told of the prob
ability of delay to harvesting in
Kansas and Texas because of rain.
Unfavorable crop comments also come
from the northwest and southwest.
A report also was received from an
eastern exporter, which said the sit
uation in France was critical, with a

to all this, the Canadian visible sup
ply figures showed a decrease of A.
$4,000 bushels Corn shorts also
covered near the close, inducing some
outside demand and causing a strong
er tone. Oats, although slightly lower
early in the day, followed later in
the wake of wheat and corn.
Buying credited to cash industries
and packers gave strength to pro-
visions.
