stopping of the March notices issued

The advance met considerable real

after selling at 14.18 at the start, May
reacted to 14.14. October sold off from
1853 to 14.55, but enough covering and
trade buying held the market steady
at net advances of 5 or points at the
end of the first hour.
Additional March notices aggregat
ing somewhat over 10000 bales were
reported in the market.
A feature of the early news was the
continued active spot business in Liv'

reported, including 10000 American.

MEN AND MONEY
BY NJ. S. Rukeyser.
(Copyright. 1927

Out near the center of the United
States. business men are cheerful
about trade prospects, and are talking
about further gains rather than recess
Sions.
AT my request, E. w. Mentel, in
dustrial commissioner of the Kansas
City Chamber of Commerce. has made
a wide canvas of sentiment, and his
comment represents a composite view
point.
ut is the consensus of opinion"
Mr.. Mentel says, that the business
outlook for 1927 is better than in 1926
for both Missouri and Kansas
If this expectation is realized, 1t will
have farreaching effects on the Ma
tons business. For example, the un-
precedentedly high earnings in 1926
of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railroad were ascribable largely to the
excellent crops in the section of
Kansas through which it's lines pass.
Heavy oil loadings in the Panhandle
of Texas were another main cOntr1bu-
ing cause.
Like the rest of the country. how
ever, the Middle of America is not
trimming with overconfidence. Its
hopes are restrained by caution.
1T is our observation" says Mr..
htlltcl, tfidL lfte DtlSlIitSS SCiltiAiiCh1
in this district is cheerful. There Is
somewhat of fear, of caution, but on
the whole the outlook is promising
and we believe that the majority are
hopeful for a good year"
Hand-tOMOuth Buying.
An interesting development in that
part of the country is the new dis
position of national manufacturers to
adjust themselves to the current mood
of handtO-mouth buying. In order to
make it possible for the retailer to buy
sparingly without the danger of
shortages. there is q tendency on the
part of manufacturers to establish
branches in the Kansas City territory
more efficiently to distribute their
merchandise.
Moreover. a number of new indus
tries are entering the city. The
United States Gypsum Co is in the
midst of the erection of a large plant
for the manufacture of chip board.
A new plant for the Kansas City
Fiber Box Co. to cost 81 800 900 has
been projected for the Spring. More

Second and most important in any
form of athletics but particularly so
in golf, Bobby Jones has learned to
control himself. He is a stronger

have never been a booster for the

never sink to depths nor rise to the

Temper is nothing more than mis-
directed energy. Bobby Jones' dis
play of temper over these same

ed incentive for the older, wiser
Bobby to make amends this year.
He did SO handsomely.
An all-around game such as is the
priceless possession of few athletes,
is an invaluable asset. In tennis a

/, BRITISH MOVIES
Producers There Worried Over
i i; American Regulations

London. July Is (UP)-British
dlm producers, with visions OF an
early conversion OF the Wembley ex-
hibttion ground into second Holly
wood, are confronted with the prob
lem of what to do about American
censorship.
The question was precipitated with
the announcement of the director of
the Fox Film Corporation that he
lad decided not to film Michael
Arlen's Green Hat" to which the
company had already obtained the
film rights. He felt certain that
American censors would bar it from
the United States.
The producers realize that the
sex realism of Arlen's play is tame
compared with Rain" Fanatics, -
Garden of Eden" and THE Con-
slant Nymph." the productions of
which are under consideration or
actually under way.
The success of these plays on the
stage. 1t is pointed out, is contingent
on the realism of the sex scenes.
Therefore. the producers argue, it
would be impossible to delete the
sex scenes without endangering the
artistic-to say nothing of box Of
flce-success Of any one of the
films.
THE decision of the Fox company
director" said Basil Dean, who is
directing the filming of 1.-The Con-
slant Nymph," will not change my
determination to stick closely to the
stage presentation of the play. I
shall continue to ignore all thoughts
Of censor. I am not concerned with
what they want and do not want in
America.
Are they afraid" he said as a
parting shot, that The Constant
Nymph' win upset the morals of
Chicago, for instance p"
However. the British Hollywood
will have to keep an eye out for
British censors as well as American.
British censorship prohibits themes
violating good taste" and many a
spicy film has already fallen under
that ban.

Funeral Postponed When Firing
Of Yolley Is Prohibited

Dublin. July Is R1Refusal OF
the Free State authorities to permit
the firing Of a volley at the grave
caused postponement Of the inter-
ment of Countess Markievicz from
yesterday to today.
| When the funeral cortege arrived
| at Glesnevin cemetery. the republi-
can leaders in charge of the cere-
monies learned that hundred fully
armed Free State soldiers and a
squad of detectives were in possess
sion of the republican plot, and
forthwith placed the coffin in a
vault. The crowd was told OF the
postponement and dispersed.
Count Markievicz was indignant
that the republicans had permitted
James Larkin. the fiery strike lead
er, to march in the procession with
large red flag presented to him by
the bolshevists in Moscow.
Before the funeral procession got
under way there were touching
scenes at the Torunda as thousands
passed the bier of the countess, for
not only had she been a prominent
leader in the Irish republican cause,
but was known for her charity and
kindness among the poorer sections
of Dublin.
There were great crowds all along
the route OF the cortege, in which
cannon De Valera and Fianna Fail
| deputies marched.
De Valera delivered a funeral or
alton in which he referred to the
countess as a friend of the poor and
of Ireland, and said she had re-
nounced ease and station for the
hard way of service among the weak
and downtrodden.

This Is What Miss Browne Calls
Bobby Jones
BY MARK K. BROWNE

United Press tSaff Correspondent
Copyright 1927 by United Press
Cleveland, O., July 17.-There is
question as to who was more tired,
Charles Lindbergh when he reached
Paris, or Bobby Jones when he
reached the clubhouse after his
triumphant navigation of the his
toric st. Andrews golf course. Either,
Bobby has weaker stomach than
Co. Charles, or the strain of those
three days of golf was greater than
the uncertainty of the hop across
the Atlantic.
What boy is Bobby! Get out
the confetti, New York.
There are reasons why Bobby
Jones is the greatest golfer in the
world, and none of the reasons even
remotely resemble luck. Breaks or
luck, you will find in games come to
the fellow who is playing well. A
hundred and twenty-foot putt, if
there exists a green large enough to
accommodate such a specimen, is,
yes, fairly lucky, but Bobby had to
start that ball right and hit it just
so to drop it. He keeps them so
regularly on the line he is bound to
drop them. Sometimes the real
luck comes in getting them when
they mean the most.
Bobby Jones' three outstanding
features are the ones which make
and always will make great athletes.
He has perfect form. self-control
and temperate habits and no weak
spots in his game.
An athlete can get by to a GER
tain degree with awkward or I'M
orthodox form, but he will not re-
main good even if he gets to the
top temporarily. The reason Little"
Bill Johnston, of tennis fame, can
play very little tennis all year, yet
come back to top form with little
/ effort, is because his form is per-
feet. Bobby Jones has always been
termed stylist, machine. because
his form is SO perfect and settled,
that his swing varies ever so
