will bring together the best
men in the country at those
distances.
Leo Lermond, who recently re.
turned from successful tour Of
the Antipodes, where he won the
half mile and mile championships
Of New Zealand and Australia
will run against a strong field in
the mile, opposing Ray Conger,
1927 national mile champion, and
1928 national 1,500-meter cham
pion; Gene Vanzke, Of Boyertown,
Pa, who has run the distance in
4:19, and George II. Bullwinkle
star miller of c. G. N. Y.
In the three-quarter-mile race
Lermond will run against Bull
Wrinkle and Venzke. In this event
the Boston star will attempt to
lower the 35-year-old record fol
the distance made by Thomas
P. Coneff.
There is q possibility that DR..
Paul Martin, the Swiss champion
will compete in one or both
events. The special races were
listed on the program as a result
of a request by the Swiss surgeon
Recently an unforeseen circum
stance has arisen that may keep
the foreigner from competing
Lawson Robertson, Olympic coach
however, is hopeful that Martin
will compete.

THOMAS SET
To PITCH
OPENER
By BOB THAYER


PHILADELPHIA, April 18.-The
Washington clubs big II Is Just
around the corner. Today-if the
weather holds Connie Mack's
dreaded Philadelphia Athletics are
to open 1880 fire against the Griffo
men.
A year ago these same AS, with
little assistance, snuffed Walter
Johnson's club out Of the Ameri-
can League race early. Today'S
inaugural at Shibe Park will go
far toward determining whether
they will repeat the stunt this
season.
A win today would help
to shake off the Athletic
spell which gripped the
Griffs q year ago.
It would materially strengthen
the confidence of club that
seems to be heading somewhere.
A two-day visit at Shibe Park
finds MyleS Thomas, diminutive
righer handler, taking the firing
pit today while burly Fred Mar
berry goes into the box tomor-
row.
Thomas has shown unlimited
stuff this spring. And he figures
to give the Elephants a merry
run for their money.
With left-handed pitching q
probability in at least one of
these games George Loepp, Sam
Vests center field alternate, is
prepared to get into the lineup.

HURTING
TRADE, CLAIM

An attack on unregulated boat
lines and motor vehicles was
made today by the Norfolk and
Southern railroad. It claimed
its revenues have shown a con-
stant and sharp decline with the
increase in the operations Of
water craft as well as motor
trucks on the public highways.
In a brief filed with the Inter
state Commerce Commission the
railroad asserted:
Boat lines that operate on
waterways maintained by and
at the expense Of the public,
and motor vehicles operating
on public highways, built like
wise at the expense of the
public, In the absence Of regu-
latiOn and control by some
governmental agency, are mot
in the interest Of the commerce
Of the United States"
Called Menace
It was further asserted that
"such unregulated facilities Of
transportation are O menace and
Q burden to the country as a
whole, since It is commonly &C
cepted without the slightest doubt
that railroads are indispensable
to the communities to which they
render the service of transporta-
ton. The brief added:
"The magnitude Of the opera
tiOn of the unregulated motors
and boat lines cannot be too
strongly stressed or even over
estimated, as the competition
set up by these unreguIated
motor trucks and boats has and
is creating q great field of
rivalry and competition with
transportation companies, pri-
vately owned, but operated un.
der governmental regulations"

CLOTH BUYING
INCREASES

NEW YORK, Dec. ~ UN.S).
Some print cloth constructions
were In good demand today, bids
being current in some instances
for larger quantities of goods.
Buyers were seldom willing to
pay the firmer asking prices that
were current In the closing days
Of last week.
Advances were obtained, how
ever, on some scattered sales.
There was continuing interest In
lightweight sheetings for the bag
manufacturing trade, with some
long term contracts sought, but

CURB TRADING
LAGGARD

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Activity
on the curb market lapsed into
q meaningless trading affair 10
day, with prices Of the main body
OF stocks backing and filling
within narrow price limits.
Speculative sentiment did not
generally vision any important
price fluctuations between now
and the end of the year, and
consequently professional opera
tions were devoted mainly to
scalping profits on the bulges.
Scattered selling for the decline
was also INDUCED in by those
traders who were Of the opinion
that a secondary reaction was
inevitable after the four-day pc
Rod of price improvement. In
many sections Of the list there
was a noticeable tendency toward
reaction, but good support on
scale down prevented the down
turn from exceeding normal tech
nical bounds.
Turnover was conspicuously
dull, and the failure Of the mar
ket to become more active as
stocks were pointing downward
was regarded as a distinctly en-
couraging point for the bullish
faction.
The utility group was generally
lower, although there was no out
ward sign Of weakness, and
losses were In the main Of un-
important character. In fact,
the only declines exceeding a

half Of the session were con.

NEW YORK. Dec. 22-Prof.
William z. Ripley, of Harvard,
speaking before the National AS
sociation Of Railroad and Public
Utility Securities at a dinner at
the Hotel Commodore, asserted
that now as never before it was
necessary for the railroads to OBJ
tain the advantages Of consolida-
ton.
He said he would oppose abro-
cation of the recapture clause Of
the transportation act so that it
might be held out as a bonus or
incentive to the railroads to CO
ordinate their rate systems.
Advantage Shown
He suggested that 1t would be
an advantage to the nation IL the

Urges Consolidation Policy
He said:

presidents of the United States
could perform no better service
than by reaching q prompt
agreement upon o consolidation
policy. Thereafter, having the
matter in their own hands, it
could be put into effect. Such
action would stabilize trunk

public importance, coming as

MAYOR WRITES
Of GAS PLANT
TRANSACTION
Alexandra Official Claims the
interests Of City Were Bet.
tered by Transaction

The sale of the Alexandria, Va,
municipal gas to the Seaboard
Investment Company through
President George A. G. Wood, of
the Washington Gas Light Com
pany, instead of being a sur
render to the interests" was
made for the better interests Of
the city, according to Mayor Car
roll Pierce who has issued a for
NAL statement describing the
financial transaction and the mo-
tives governing the city officials.
The city was confronted not
only with the details Of manag.
ing and financing the gas SER
vices for the city Of $4,000 but
with supplying the needs of the
surrounding territory which is
growing rapidly.
Thirty-Year Contract
The bid of the Seaboard In
veStment Company to take over
the plant and it's obligations was
accepted by the Alexandria coun-
cilmen. The terms provide for
the payment of $500 cash for
the works, mains and 3O-year
contract.
With the plant in private
hands, the mayor said, the rate
per thousand cubic feet of gas
has already dropped from $1.45
to $1.15. The heating value Of
the gas jumped from $50 B. T. u.
to 800. Power to- regulate the
quantity of gas and construction
Of mains remains with the city.
Should the quality of gas fall be-
low the required B. T.. U. the
price to consumers will automatl-
cally come down at the rate of
cent per 1000 for every 10
B. T. U. reduction.
Service Extended
Service was to be extended TO
the lately annexed territory with
in 10 days from date of sale,
October /. City financing was
also simplified as money from the
sale was given into the custody
Of five business men as trustees.
Sale Of gas appliances has also
jumped in the Alexandria terri
tory since the plant passed into
the hands of the private corpora
ton and inadequate and defective
parts of the system are under
going extensive replacement and
repair.

ADVISES
KEEPING CASH
INTACT
Economist Calls Savings Place
Under Present Conditions;
Warns Against Haste
BY LEWIS HANEY

BY LEWIS HANEY
Director New York University
Bureau of Business Research
and Former Economist OF
Federal Trade Commission
''What shall I do with my
money!"
This is q question often asked
these days. People are anxious,
not because they have so much
money as because they want to
play safe with what little they
have.
Unusually my advice during
the past few months has been
to put it in a savings account at
a bank. I think this advice is
still good. :
Most of us want to see our
money working for us. We want
to invest" it in some way that
will make it bring in a good re-
turn. We are impatient with a
mere savings deposit. But at
present we should remember two
main points: Cd money Is about
the only thing in the world that
is increasing in value. (2) All
investments are more or less un-
certain.
Money Value Gaining
AS to the increase in the value
of money, that is apparent from
the decline in prices. The lower
prices go, the more things a
given amount Of money will buy.
AS commodities and securities
fall in price, the purchasing
power Of the dollar rises.
For example, a United States
gold dollar (and that means all
dollars in our money! will row
buy "a per cent more commodi-
ties at wholesale than it would
have bought in 1925. A dollar is
actually worth from 10 to IS per
cent more than 1t was q year
ago.
If you had sold all your stocks
a few months ago and put your
money in the bank, you could
take 1t out now and buy more
than a third more Of the same
stocks. Moreover, these stocks
would now give you a much bet
ter yield. This is but another
Of how money Is
going up in value.
Clearly time is working for the
man who holds on to his cash
and the savings bank Is an excel
lent place to put money.
And you need not feel that this
Is bad for business. The bank
puts your money to work. It is
loaned for business purpose. It
is kept in circulation as business
requires 1t.
Bank Safest Place
Where is your money safer than
in a savings deposit? I was struck
the other day by the words of a
well-known English financial
writer. He said whereas. in a
financial crisis of 20 years ago,
would have leaned
heavily on Great Britain, she now
has a strong, well-organized bank
ing system" The general recog.
milton Of the soundness Of our old
well-established banks Is most
reasuring.
The time Is coming when the
prices Of bonds, stocks, and COM
moditieS will recover. Then money
will be worth more when invested,
For the present, however, con-
serve your cash resources. In this
way you get at least 4 per cent
compounded, which is not bad,
and the buying power Of your
