Then they had master catcher in
John Killing to handle the pitchers and
run the game. This team had won
both pcnnants and world champion
ships and becaus oef their greater eX-
perience in important tests, virtually
every base ball man in America pre-
dicted they would beat my young team.
The public couldn't be blamed for
picking the mighty Cubs as my young
team was not known outside of its own
league. Candidly I had my doubts
whether the innate strength of my own
team could outweight the greater ex-
perience and poise Of the older team
Nevertheless I had high hopes.

INSURED MAIL
Y 0 | u NJ [

The record dealings In securities
throughout the United States, and
the unusual participation Of out
of.town banks in the call loan
market, have resulted in q marked
increase in the total stocks and
currency shipped by insured reg.
istered mail, it is stated by Vim
cent L. Gallagher. secretary Of
The Continental Insurance Com
pany, who has charge Of this
branch Of the corporation under
writing activities.
Based on the business done
thus far in 1929 by the Cont
mental, Fidelity Phenix, Fidelity
and Casualty and others of the
America Fore group, together
with q number Of companies with
which they are associated In reg
istered mail insurance, II Is eSti-
mated by Gallagher that the total
value Of currency and securities
shipped throughout the country
during the full years, will approx
mate $45, O0O, OO0, 900 as against
about $33, 900, OOO, 900 in 1928.
This represents a gain of SO per
cent for the current year.
Affects Mails
The bulk of the shipments are
made by New York City brokerage
houses and banks to customers
and correspondents in all parts
Of the United States and in for
eign countries, as well" said Gal
lagher THE reason for the in
creased amounts of insured pack
ages is found in the greatly EN-
larged total of stock transactions
on the New York Stock Exchange
and on the Curb and the higher
values involved.
ION recent date, for example,
the number of shares dealt in on
the big board since the begin
ming Of the year showed a gain
Of SO per cent for the period
as compared with the same por-
ton of 1928, while the curb
market revealed an increase for
the corresponding period, of 153
Der cent. Dealing in bonds on
the New York Stock Exchange,
on the other hand, fell off about
Z per cent.
Sent BY Planes
1.-THE advance in the amount
Of insured values of securities
and currency shipped is well
below the increases In the sale
Of stocks due In part, no doubt,
to the fact that the larger por-
ton of the business Is confined
to New York city where mes
Senger deliveries are made from
bank to bank and from broker
to broker.
I'VE note an increasing use Of
the airplane, In order TO save
time and interest, although the
major part Of the security and
currency shipments stil travel
by railway NAL. !"
It was stated by Gallagher
that the cost Of inSuring 500, 900
worth Of securities forwarded BY
registered mail to b destination
within 1000 miles Of the starting
point. is S. by railroad, as
against $40 by airplane, owing
TO the greater likelihood Of loss
In case the latter method OF
carriage is employed. The charge
varies according to the distance,
and the rates for currency are
twice those for stocks and bonds.

thinly over the entire extent Of the
United States, in groups ranging in
size from few regulars on duty with
the civilian components of the Army
to the 5,323 officers and men stationed
at Fort Sam Huston, Tex, our lar
gest military post. In addition, we must
keep approximately 10000 men or about
Is per cent. Of the aggregate strength,
on duty beyond the seas. Much might
be said of the Army's mission in the
Philippines of how it guards the Pana-
ma Canal, of how in Hawaii 1t makes
secure the crossroads of the Pacific. It
is also on duty in Porto Rico, Alaska
and even in far-off China.
But we should not lose sight of the
fact that this department serves the
civil interests of the country in many
substantial ways.
For example, commercial and military
flying are growing up together in this
country. Because. of the impetus inn
parted by the World War and also be-
cause of its own rigorous flight require
mentS, the Air Corps has been steadily
in the van Of aeronautical development.
Crop busting, aerial seed sowing, aerial
photography-all of which are now
recognized commercial activities-were
pioneered by the Army. Numerous
technical advances of enormous civic
value, such as the earth inductor COM
pass, are Army Air Corps developments.
Until comparatively recently aviators
were confined to two claSses-men who
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-12-08

were self-taught and those who learned
in the military and naval services.
Today the Army possesses no mono
poly of training flyers. Efficient civil
aviation schools are in existence
throughout the country. In their
methods and organization, however
these schools are patterned after the
Air Corps model. The attainment OF
Army standards Of proficiency Is the
practical goal Of their courses.
Few civilians know that the Army
Signal Corps developed the Weather
Bureau. From a small beginning this
service steadily grew until in 1890 1t
had become so important that it was
installed in a separate governmental
bureau. At the present time the Signal
Corps is operating the entire CONNER
cial communications of Alaska. This
system, consisting of 1900 miles of sub
marine cable, 500 miles of land tele-
graph lines and "a radio stations, Is
probably the most modern of its size
in the world. Last year 1t handled
II sos oil words, 81 per cent of which
was commercial trafic. The Signal
Corps cable ship Dellwood, which laid
the Alaska cable, Is now lent to the
Philippine government for the purpose
of relaying the inter-iSland cables Of

selves were installed by the Army after

continues substantially to rise; the rate
of farmers bankruptcies notably falls;
the decline in land values seems to be
arrested; the rate of movement from
farm to city has been reduced; in gen.
eral, optimism pervadeS the industry.
The Federal Farm Board instituted
pursuant to the farm marketing act
of June Is last is vigorously at work
and already has made substantial head
way in organization of four basic COM
modities-grain, cotton live stock and
wool.
8, The Presidents comment on the
tariff situation is of q delicacy. He
quotes from his message to Congress at
the opening of the late special session
his statement of the principles which,
in his view, should govern tariff modi-
flcation. He holds to those principles
which are sufficiently we'll known. He
hints at the especial deSirability of
prompt action in view of the recent
economic developments. Industry and
agriculture, which are consulting Wig
orously against the uncertain future,
should know what the tariff rates are
to be. A consideration very much at
heart with the President finds express
sion as follows: II have been most anx-
ious that the broad principle of the
flexible tariff, as provided in existing
law, should be preserved, and its delays
in action avoided by more expeditions
methods of determining the costs of
production at home and abroad, with
Executive authority to promulgate such
changes upon recommendation of the
Tariff Commission after exhaustive in
vestigation."
8. THE development of inland water
ways has received new impulse from
the completion this year of the canal
ization of the Ohio to a uniform 9-foot

prosecuted" We await the action of
Canada on the st. Lawrence waterway

of the Army. Such is its primary func-
ton. But by the very nature of its &C
tivities, it is enabled to serve the Ma
ton outside the limits of its military
sphere and frequently does so. In times
Of floods and other disasters, supplies
and camping facilities are furnished
from Quartermaster stores. Nor Is this
service confined to relief work; 1t has
been available on occasions to impOr-
tant national gatherings. For exam
pie, the 1900 Boy Scouts who consti-
tuted the American delegation to the
recent "Jamboree" in Great Britain
were outfitted with camping equipment;
at the last American Legion convention
cots and blankets were supplied for
10000 persons.
The Army Ordnance Department has
contributed consistently to our COM
mercial, metallurgical and industrial
development. The principle of inter-
changeability of mechanical parts was
practically established in this country
in the course Of the manufacture of
firearms. Similarly the Ordnance De-
partment was a pioneer in the intro
duction Of alloy steels and in scien-
tho shop management. Today we see
the country'S industrialistS turning to
this same organization by virtue of It's
advances in such technical processes
as atomic welding, centrifugal casting
and the X-raying of steels.
Due to Army research, 1t Is now pos
sible to substitute welding in many

Is. The President recommends ire
organization of the Radio Commission
into a permanent body"
II. The President again urges def
mite settlement of the Muscle Shoals
question. 1t is his belief that such
parts Of these plants as would be use
full and the revenues from the re-
mainder should be dedicated for all
time to the farmers of the United States
for investigation and experimentation
on a commercial scale in agricultural
chemistry. BY such means advancing
discoveries in science could be syste-
matically applied to agricultural need,
and DEVELOPMENT of the chemical in
dustry of the Tennessee Valley could be
assured" But he docs not favor the
operation by the Government OF either
power or manufacturing business ex-
cept as an unavoidable by-product Of
some other major public purpose"
a. The President invites attention
to conservation problems under three
heads: (a) Conservation Of our oil and
gas resources (b) Conservation meas
ures called for in consequence of over
grazing on the public lands. (c) Recon-
a whole THE inclusion of most of the
available lands of the public domain in
existing or planned reclamation prof.
ects largely completes the original pur-
pose of the reclamation service. There
still remains the necessity for extensive
storage of water in the arid States,
which renders 1t desirable that we
should give a wider vision and purpose
to this service"
10. The President suggests "some
system of priorities within the immigra-
ton quotas" with a view to securing
what he believes should be our real
national objective; that Is, fitness of
the immigrant as to physique, charac-
ter training and our need of service"
20. The President recommends that
the Pension Bureau, the National Home
for Volunteer Soldiers and the Veterans
Bureau be merged.
81. The President again urges action
toward reorganization of the Govern
ment departments, but "can see no
hope for development of a sound reor-
ganization unless Congress be willing to
delegate its authority over the prob
lem Subject to defined principlss) to
the Executive"
