NOVEL DRUG
STORE

TVHE latest novelty in the bust
l. ness field Is the drug store
exclusively for women. Miss
Clara Stanton, pioneer of the
idea. was teaching pharmacy in
the University Of Colorado. when
It occurred to her that a phar-
macy catering entirely to women's
needs and employing women only
would find an appreciative
patronage. And today, according
to the American Druggist. her
store is one Of the most sue
cessful in Denver.

Furthermore, the babies are much

AMERICAN GIRLS USE LESS SCENT
Bulgarian Altar Industry De-
 Clines in This Country

Philippopolis. Bulgaria, Aug. 3 H' American girls. using less per fume than ever before. are a "fy in the ointment to Bulgarian peasa nts as they rejoice over recapture Of the world markets for the altar of roses which provides the base for all per fumes.
 The declining use Of artificial fragrance in America is reflected Tn the last exports of altar to the United States, which fell from loo.- o0O ounces to bare 10000. The French girl has taken first place in the worlds consumption of perfume. Bulgaria exporting more than half it's entire output of altar to France last year.
 American young men are prob ably giving their sweethearts syn thetic perfumes" said the head Of one of Bulgaria's largest perfume distilleries, 'or may be given them bouquets of real flowers instead Of l bottled flowers. At one time the United States was our greatest cus- | toner for essence of roses, whereas today it places only a tenth of it's | former orders"
 Nevertheless, the altar industry is getting back upon its feet in Bull garia which leads the world ifl quantity and quality of production. Although this years production will be 30 per cent under average, the 1 industrious peasants have alleviated damage done the delicate rose-vines by recent earthquakes and overcome in a measure the effects of drought and intermittent frost which visited the far-famed "Valley of the Roses earlier in the year.

 There are 266 distillers of altar in Bulgaria. of whom many are also growers. The growers have formed cooperative groups and receive aId from the government in the form of loans from the Agricultural bank. The small planters are grad ually disappear and the industry is passing into the hnads of pow erful corporate interests.

TOY PLANES WIN
 TRIP FOR BOYS
American Youngsters Travelling
 in Europe

London, Aug 3 P-American aviators like Linobergh, Chamber lin and Levine, Brock and :chlee and John Henry Mears, who have been doing aerial hop-skip- and jumps about Europe, have little on four American boys who have been doing about the same thing ln . somew hat different way.
 The airplanes with which Ford Grant, Jack Lougner, Tom Hill and Aram Abgarian are visiting the cap itals of Europe are not tri-inotored wireless equipped albatrosses of the air. They are fragile looking craft no longer than a human arm.
 Yet with these small air vessels the quartet of boys, in company with Merrill Hamburg, secretary of the American Model Airplane league are on their way around the con- tincnt after having competed with British boys in the art of flying their miniature planes.
 The Croydon airdrome, from which giant airplanes set off daily from London to Paris, was the sceen Of the competition. It was q strange thing for Croydon, accus- toned to the roar of multi-motore planes. to hear the gentle whir oi unwinding rubber bands as the bird like little planes sailed across several hundred feet of the landing field.
 The American model-aNlatofs
 found the British boys capable com petitors. Honors for the afternoon were even. Ford Grant of America won the prize for spar models and w. k. Platter. England, fol

TRADE BUT NEVER
 EXPECT DELIVERY
This Is One of Freaks Of Stock
 Market

New York, Aug. Rt-Commodi- ties are bought and sold every day on New York Exchanges by buyers who have no use for even barrel of the sugar they purchase and sellers Nho never have seen the cotton they sold. Goods are traded by persons in every walk Of life ho neither care to handle the mer- chandise, nor have the facilities,
 It is business in futures" done entirely on paper, profitable to many, costly to others, necessary 10 all and highly beneficial to the few who need the commodities in their trade.
 Hedging as the operation Is known, Is one Of the main reasons Tor the existence of these exchanges and also for the growth in their number, as witnessed by recent or ganization of silk. burlap, metal and other new institutions of t&ang. Webster defines hedging as means of arranging q way of escape or re- treat, or as applied 10 the markets, the lessening Of holdings or obliga- tions, so as to minimize loss. 1nso- far as the commodity markets are concerned hedging constitutes a real attempt to underwrite the future.
 The actual operation Of a hedg ing transaction is pictured in q com mon deal on the Cotton Exchange. ha Is Vhn pD1l1l take the cotton crop when the growers are ready to deliver their products buy physical cotton in the quantity desired and at the same time sell contracts which promise to deliver a similar amount as some specified future date.
 Cotton spinners, knowing they will need cotton as raw material. purchase these contracts, thereby fixing the seasons basic prices. Later. the merchants, having found a buyer for the physical cotton purchased. buy back the contracts or futures sold to the spinner. The spinners. meanwhile. having located the quantity of physical, or spot cotton needed for immediate use, sell the futures"
 Prices may change while these transactions are under way, but both buyers and sellers know from eX- perience that change in the price of physical cotton automatically pro- duces an equal change in tr. price of futures. The speCulator, who needs no cotton and takes no deliN' cries, profits or loses as the price advances or declines under the in fluence of ordinary factors-Weath' CT, crop and general business condi tions.
 Misjudgment of the future mar ket trend may cause losses. but thu trade apparently has come to recog uize the protection assured by th dealing in futures as being wei worth the risk. To the producer the operation means quick and eas selling of the crop: to the merchan instantly available goods; and i the manufacturer, assurance Of
 future supply of raw material. at

WORLD PEACE MOVEMENT
Club Women Asked to Take Active Interest tn International .Af- fairs.

Washington. Aug. t1'--A plea for club women of the United States to take an active interest in inter- national affairs and to participate in pending studies looking toward peace movements has been made by Mrs. John F. Sippel. president of the General Federation of Women's clubs.
 "The importance of the subject is so great" said Mrs. Sippel in her message to the 3.000.oo0 club wom- en affiliated with the federation. that hope every club woman will acquaint herself with the daily de velopments of international issues, particularly those that have bear ing on peace. pending the definite program which the federation will offer"
 Organized women have an i'm portant part in crystliizing public opinion, believes Mrs, Sippel and therefore are obligated morally to study international problems.

MALONEY AND 0'KELLY
WILL BATTLE TONIGHT

NEW YORK, December 81 P).-
Jimmy Maloney and Con O'Kelly meet
in a i0-round bout at Madison Square
Garden tonight.
Maloney has staged sensational
comeback iE recent weeks, outpointing
Johnny Risko and stopping Andy
Mitchell in his last two starts. He prob
ably will be a 7-to-5 favorite at ring
time, for O'Kelly does not figure to
have enough experience to cope with
the Boston fighter. O'Kelly, who came
TO this country recently from Ireland,
has made two starts here, defeating Al
Friedman and Jack Gagnon on points.

ball observers have felt that it would
be much better to have West against
East and vice versa in the opening
games. McGraw dubbed the scheme
Impractical,
For the Eastern teams to open in
the West. or the other way around, one
of two things would have to happen"
he said. EITHER the travelling team
would have to journey right back home
after a short series on the road, which
would bring about rather heavy over
head expense, or the travelling teams
would have to keep right on travelling
and complete regular sectional in
vasion
IF the latter plan were adopted T.
would mean that an East team, open
ing in the West, would have to play or
the road nearly three weeks before j
would play it first game at home. In
cities which have only one major
league club, this would not be very wei
received.
Then there would be the additions
hardships that this scheme would work
on some of the weaker clubs. II one of
these we're to start the season with Fl
or % days on the road before playing
at home, it might scuttle that team so
fast into last place its chances for the
season would be wrecked completely"
And most observers thought that
John had done the same. thing to the
suggested change.

Blick Earned Only a Deficit
AS Ring Pilot Of Gallagher

further agrees and guarantees said
athlete that the moneys paid TO him
as above provided shall in no year
during the life of this agreement
ID less than $1,000, or $25 per week.
BIick Left with Deficit.
From the foregoing it will be seen
that Gallagher was to get so per cent
after the S25 a week was deducted in
stead of 35 per cent plus the $25 a
week, as was stated.
In further support of his claim, as
advanced before the. Maryland State
Athletic Commission, that Gallagher
had received all the best Of their deal
ings, Blick sent the writer a statement
showing the amounts received for the
fights in which Gallagher engaged and
the disbursements in his behalf be-
tween June 80, 1927, and October %,
1928 This statement shows total re-
ceipts of $5,439 and total disbursements
of $5,735. OF the latter Gallagher re-
ceived $1,925, which included the $25
week. Expenses for various things,
such as $500 for advertising, ate up
the balance, leaving Blick to absorb a
deficit of nearly $780,
Poor Business for Beginner.
Two things are apparent from this
statement. The first is that prize
fighting is a mighty poor business for a
beginner, for, including the allowance
of $25 a week, Gallagher made just a
little more than $28 week. He was
getting S2450 a week. when he quit
being a plumbers helper to turn to
prize fighting The second point is that
backing a prize fighter is risky busi-
ness, at least it proved so in Blick's
case
What makes it worse for Blick is
that Gallagher refuses to have any
thing more 70 do with him as manager
now that the latter has brought him
along to where there is possibility
of some real money being made.

THIRD WANER FAILS,
BACK IN CAGE GAME
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, December
2l.-Travea Waner is back to his second
love-basket ball-since his failure to
make the professional base ball grade
with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Naturally, his first choice is base ball.
for he is Waner, first cousin of Paul
and Lloyd, the Pittsburgh fiyhawks. He
is playing the court game in the Mis-
souri, Valley Amateur Athletic Union, as
a forward on Oklahoma City team.
Waner retains an amateur standing
in the athletic union because he had
merely signed a contract and took part
in Spring training with the Pirates.
However, the Oklahoma collegiate con-
ference bars him from its courts because
he signed a professional contract. He
was the leading basket ball scorer in
the conference last season, averaging 90
points a game for the East Central
Teachers College of Ada.

All hope of holding the annual gold

In order to obtain the big race for

sent it in the race.
AS decision has to be made by De-

cured for the construction of craft,
it is assured that the American Power
Boat Association will not schedule the
event here.
