CANADIAN TOURISTS

Comment and statistics quoted in the Literary Dl- pest reveal surprising increase ill Canada's tourist crop1 which has become substantial source of re venue reaching last year total of about 300 million dollars as compared with only about 91 million dollars in 1922.
 More than 95 per cent of these expenditures are made bv tourists from the United States while Canad ians spend approximately one-thrd much on the American side of the line
 Another striking fact is seen in the statement that the number of Americans who visited Canada last year was close to 15 million about one and one half as many the entire population of the Dominion
 Wel-disposed Canadians on both sides of the line will be glad to note this evidence of increasing nelgh borliness Just how much of it may be attributed to MT Volstead is not shown by the statistical reports

factories decreased per cent during

Federal Reserve Board points out there

output of iron and steel. while the
daily average production of bituminous

showed a further slight decrease in
the first half of August. In stating
that factory employment and wage pay
ments in the middle of July were the
lowest since 1922, the board says the
reduction in number of workers en-
ployed was the largest in steel plants,
shops and foundries. Working forces
at bituninous mines were further re-
duced.

Steel Corporation decreased al, 1851
tons in August to total Of $3.50, ,204

Of 53,991 tons was shown.
The backlog on July 81 was 4,022, ,055

orders amounted to 3,658,211 tons.
The drop in the steel corporations
untitled orders was even larger than
had been forecast in Wall Street, al
though large decrease, of perhaps
400, 900 tons, was expected. The drop
of AL, 1851 tons was larger than the
decline of approximately 10000 tons
in August of last year, which was one
of the first pronounced indications of
the approach of the business recession
recently in full swing. August has
usually been a month of small changes

BOND
PRICES IN ADVANCE
Market for Prime Issues Con-
tinues Strong-U. S.
Group in Demand.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 10.--Bond
trading was again active today. Prices
of high-grade investments remained at
high levels and few, notably public
utility obligations, made small gains;
but the balance of the list had an irreg-
ular tone.
There was a negligible total of new
bonds on the market, money rates were
unchanged, and the stock market was
not doing enough to affect bonds in
either direction.
United States Issues Active.
Long term United States Govern
ment obligations were more active than
usual, presumably as a result of the
calling for redemption next March of
S1,149, 900, 900 of Treasury notes series A
and B, and the refunding on Monday of
$400,000,00 of Treasury certificates and
bills. The price range of the long term
issues was again upward, most of them
selling within fractions of their best
prices of the year.
Soon after opening, it became appar-
ent that the market had made up it's
mind to disregard the possibility of fur
ther political troubles in the Argentine
and the credits of that country were
actively bid higher, practically to the
levels current before the Uriburu up
rising.
A few South American bonds went
along with the Argentine group, but
Bfazilians were weak, despite denials
from Rio de Janeiro that unrest was
widespread in the states of Rio Grande
do Sui and MinaS Geraes. The obliga-
tions of these states were both off and
close to their low points for 1880. Other
foreign dollar bonds were quiet and in
clined to sag fractionally.
Prime seasoned favorites of the do
mestic list were traded in small volume
at their best levels. New York Central
as, Northern Pacific As, Inland Steel
41as, Standard Oil of New Jersey SIS,
Columbia Gas SIS and American SC For
eign Power SIS were active and slightly
better. Others were unchanged. Con-
vertibles were dull, though Philadelphia
& Reading Coal & Iron 6S stood out as
an exception. They we're heavily traded
and went to new peak price on the
current movement.
Junior Rails.
Junior rails were the most active
group on the market, though the price
trend was indeterminate. Issues like st.
Paul SIS, Erie general lien is, Wabash
4l2S and Western Maryland As were
sold around their best prices.
Industrials were strong. There were
advances in Certainteed 5I2S, Interna-
tional Mercantile Marine 6s, National
Dairy Products 5I4s, Goodyear S.
United States Rubber 5s, Richfield Oil
IS and Interborough Refunding SIS. New
York City fractions were dull compared
with their recent activity, with the only
signs of interest in Twenty-third Street
Railway 5s-a surface line obligation
that has been selling on receivership
basis for some time. The price today
was marked up 3 points to a level 10
points above the recent low. The COM
pany, which paid the interest on its
bonds in July, is expected to benefit
by any general unification plan OF
New York City traction systems.

LEFT-HAND TURN
/ CHANGE IS URGED
Merchants and Manufactur-
ers' Association Governors
| Favor Inside Method.

District Commissioner Crosby yester-
day was advised by the governors of the
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation that they favor a change from
the present outside left-hand turn to
the inside method recommended by the
Hoover traffic conference.
The action followed report by
Charles H. Frame, chairman of the
traffic committee, at meeting of the
board Friday.
It was explained that the board adj
vocates the Hoover left-hand turn be-
cause of its almost universal use in
other cities, and because it would avoid
considerable confusion on the part Of
tourists in the Capital City, The pres
ent method of making left turn re-
suits in unnecessary delay and often
ties up traffic, 1t was stated.
The governors went on record as APP
proving the Capper bill for $4,000, 900
loan to the District for the development
of the proposed Municipal Center, pro-
viding the clause requiring the District
to pay interest is stricken out. Senator
Capper's bill for increasing the salaries
Of the Commissioners also was approved.
The governing body voted to indorse
the Romjue bill for the establishment
Of a national training school for police

 If the schoolboy catchers had been able to hold his slants he might have been a great pitcher.
 Originally a hurler with the Sacred Heart college nine in Tampa, the local boy turned catcher because none of his teammates could receive his steam ball"
 At 16, he left the sandlots to join the Tampa Smokers of the old F'lori- da state league and hit .270. In 1926. his second season as a pro. he batted .217 and Jacksonville of the South eastern drafted him for S750.
 With the Tars, he hit only .2S0, but Wilbert Robinson spotted him as bright prospect and coughed up the s1o,O0o that Griff refused to pay.
 Bobby had him at Macon in the Sally and then Atlanta, where he pounded the ball for .317 figures and went right up to Flatbush.
 The son of Consuelo and the late Modesto Lopez who settled in Ybor City, Tampa's Spanish suburb. after their arrival from Spain, Al was jabbering Spanish f1uently before he was taught a thing about English although he was born in Florida.
 With Dolf Luque, the veteran Cuban pitcher he forms the only Spanish speaking battery in the big leagues.

By NEA Service
 Fairmont, w. Va. Sept. 9,-Dr. Jock Sutherland, the Big Scot down in Pittsburgh, landed him for the Pitt Panthers-and Jocko is happy to get him.
 He's just another great left tackle from the Brady Meredith family of Fairmont. He is John (Farmer) Meredith. captain of East Fairm $ prep gridders in 1927 and a star for two seasons at Bellefonte Academy.
 Left tackles in the Meredith family have been quite the rage. Brother Russell back in 1916 was left tackle at Fairmont high. He went to West Virginia and explained the unde- feated Mountaineers in 1922, That team, tutored by the rotund Dr. Spears, played a post season game on the coast.
 Brother Marion (Cy) Meredith didn't get the benefits of football training in high school. He had not played a game until he packed his travelling bag off to Marshall college in 1914. where Brothed Russ took over the coaching duties.' Coach Meredith found a place for Cy at left tackle in the first game. He stayed right there during four seasons and was captain in his final year
 Three other brothers. Harper, Arch and Hugh. played high school foot ball but only Harper went on to college. where he gave up the game He was the smallest of the clan and played center. The other two broth CTS were guards.
 In spite of Carnegie Foundation disclosements. representatives of Carnegie Tech and Pitt made many trips between Pittsburgh and Fair mont this summer to bid for broth CT John. Pitt is said to have held an edge right from the start, princi- pally because John wants to become a dentist when football days are ended and the dental school at Pitt looked best to him.

Wealth of Candidates
 Will Report At Purdue

Lafayette, Ind, Sept. (UP) - Purdue's "boilermakers," Big Ten football champions in 1929. will start their pursuit of the middlewestern crown again on September 15. when 91 candidate will report to Head Coach Noble kizer, starting his first year at Purdue.
 The squad will include 21 letter men and a host of reserves from last year, in addition to over 50 embryo grid stars from last seasons S freshman eleven.
 With such a wealth of material as Coach Kizer has at his disposal the molding of a team would seem to be a comparatively easy matter, but it will be a very strong team indeed which will not suffer in com mparison with last years aggregation, which went through the season undefeated against some of the strongest oppo- sition in the country.

NEW BOOM ALLOWED
Harold s. Vanderbilt, Skipper of Americas Cup Defender, May Use His Patent.

Newport, R. l., Sept. (UP)-De- spite the protests of the after-guard of Weetamoe, J. P. Morgans racing yacht, Harold s. Vanderbilt, skipper of the Americas cup defender. En- terprise. will be permitted to use his new patent boom if he cares to, in the international races against Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock V.
 Weetamoe's managers lodged q dignified protest on Sept. against the new boom. which was swung on Enterprises mast during the elimi- nation trials last month. although it is difficult to see what the protest might have availed, since Weetamoe herself has gone out of commission, and would be in no position to race Shamrock if the committee disquali- fled the Vanderbilt boat.
 As for the boom itself, which the New York Yacht club committee now holds is legal" it may or may not have contributed to Enterprise S victories over Weetamoe. At any rate, no protest came from the Nor gan syndicate when it was first tried out.
