BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 9.-The exact

Inside the row of boxes on the inner

With these arrangements concluded,

IDEAS BEING SOUGHT
FOR dig MEMORIAL

The membership of the Izaak
Walton League of America will unite
in perfecting plans for a national
memorial to Will II. Dig. founder
OF the organiza ton, who died in
Washington, D. c., last March.
a committee appointed at the ma
tional convention of the league in
Chicago has announced that it has
been unable to decide on something
which, according to word sent out to
all chapters and State divisions of the
league, must he an expression of the
esteem in which Mr.. dig was regard
ed by the membership of the organiza
ton which he founded and for which
he labored so strenuously."
Suggestions have been made, among
others, that part of the Upper
Mississippi River wild life and fish
refuge he set aside, with appropriate
markings. in special recognition OF
the man who conceived it.
The announcement further explains
"Wi1l II. dig has won a perma nent
place in the hearts of all who love the
outdoors. This regard must have eX-
preston. must be carried on in tangi-
BILE form to future generations who
will use the outdoor Fairgrounds he
has done so much to keep inviolate
through organization of the Walton
League, and who will be benefited by
the new spirit of conservation he has
injected into American life.
1T is a simple matter to think of a
statue or monument of some sort, but
the problem facing the committee is
that of providing something which
while tangible, will not be entirely
confined to any one locality. The
committee admits a feeling of incom
potency to decide such n matter un
aided by the Waltonians of America
as Il whole"

now have been in first place in their
top-heavy old league for 40 successive

The Yanks are therefore a better

course, dates back to the 1926 season
and continues into the current one.
The Giants in 1922 were in first place

Delaney's great hitting ability may
prove contributing cause to his

How Rivals Compare.
Pauline will have weight and

evenly matched in height, but there

the Basque in speed and accuracy of
hitting, but Pauline offsets this by
his great strength and amazing abili-

Every time Delaney hits Pauline,
the Basque will fight back harder: but

will take quite q little of the pep out

Delaney always was a terror against
men of the rushing type, as Pauline,
but he was hitting lighter, weaker

be something like Delaney hitting an

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Danger i'm averaging" "
ny GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Just as the line between investment
and speculation is impossible to define
50 the difference between the investor
and the speculator is a matter of
degree. Every investor likes to feel
that the security he has purchased
has a chance to advance IN market
price. and no speCulator is adverse
to having investment quality III ms
speculation.
The Spectator can look out for him
self but the investor invites trouble
when he allows a speculative urge 10
cloud his Judgment. This is partlcu.
larlv the case when after long perlod
of rising prices in the stock market
the trend is reversed and quotations
turn downward The investor who
has hesitated to enter the market
while it was advancing least he should
nav a price not warranted by value
finds himself strongly tempted When
he sees the decline. The danger IS
that instead of considering his prop
lem purely from the standpoint or one
who wishes to purchase a stock FOR
permanent holding he will buy 1t be-
cause it is now selling below what II
was a month or two ago.
Nothing is more difficult than to
pick the bottom Of decline. Just as
stocks always go higher than funda-
mental conditions warrant in times OF
universal optimism. so they go down
far below anything justified by trade
depression The investor who makes
a mistake in one of these periods OF

Oil Serious Menace.
Oil, the anthracite men declare, is
a serious menace. Many new build
ings are equipped to burn oil instead
of coal. Heretofore onethird of the
coal mined in Summer in the Hazel
ron district went to Buffalo for trans
shipment to points West. This year
the demand has fallen off one-haf.
Even in the heart of the coal re
gions sales have been slack, for many
concerns which cut prices outside
failed to do so near home. This
aroused more than a little animosity.
The trend has been so severe that 1t
has affected the coal country mer-
chants and they have been asked TO
aid in boosting the use of anthracite.
There are about 100000 to 100000
tons of coal now on the surface in
the hard coal fields. or about two
months supply
The Lehich Valley Coal Co has
abandoned the storing of larger sizes
because it costs so cents q ton to re-
load it and this. the company claims,
makes it Improbable.
Now for the other side of the coal
picture. The processing of coal is
progressing both in amount and meth
DDS. First in importance comes the
news that Standard Oil of New
Jersey has bought the process rights
to a German method of turning coal
into liquid fuel. This will aid coal,
but not at once. One fuel engineer
familiar with the process estimates
that sufficient liquid fuel will be pro
duced from one ton of coal to yield

a ton of anthracite now yields more
than that at retail and a ton of hi

safe rule is to buy only in such
amounts as one can afford and not
try to average by adding to ones

In case the investor has other funds
he would do better to buy a different

Aside from squabbles over labor
