The University of North Car
DINA won the track meet from
Penn State on Emerson field
last Saturday, Is to 81. This was
a notable achievement, for the
Penn State track team is gen
orally recognized as one of the
best in the country.
Charlie Farmer, winning both
the 100-yard and the 220-yard
dashes, scored 10 of Cardinals
points. His time was go for the

second in both these events.
Marland On. CO. won the 440.
Wayland Dunaway of Penn State
took the half-mile easily in l :55.
Case On. CO. was second.
In the mile run Carolina men
came in first, second, and third.
Jenner led, his time being 4:28,
and was followed by Jones and
MacRae. In the tWo-mile Hub
bard On. Co. looked like a win
ner till near the end, but in the
last half-lap he was overtaken
and led by King (P.S.).
The high hurdle was won by

reference to the matters about
which you have made inquiry.I
think that this is one thing
which candidates for Congress
ought to agree definitely not to do
because of the unfavoraDle pub
licity. comment and rightful
prejudice which has existed and
still exists against this practice,
which has to some extent been
the policy in the past sof some
members of Congress.
From William B. Umstedd, Dur
ham, Democrat
IN my opinion the policy Of the
employment by a member of
Congress, at public expenses. of
his relatives, or members of his
family, is unwise and should be
avoided. If nominated and elect
ed to Congress, do not intend to
employ at public expense any of
my relatives.
FROM Charles L. Van Noppen,
Greensboro, Democrat
No. l. I am opposed to it.
No. 2. | would not.
From Bruce H. Cd7TdWay, High
Point, Democrat
No. l. | have always contend
ed that no Congressman or Sena-
tor should ever employ any of
his relatives at public expense.
No. 2. No, nor wife's rela-
tives, either. | am also in favor
of cutting the Congressman s
and Senator's salary $1,000 per
year
All congressman and Senators
have always drawn mileage for
transportation at "A government
expense and the present rate is
twenty cents mile. This is
about 5 times the cost of Pull
man and railway fare. | also
favor cutting this down to actual
cost of transportation and that
a Congressman or Senator be re-
quired to file a receipt from the
transportation company along
with his voucher before he can
be reimbursed for any transport
tation Of. any kind where the
Government has to pay it. This
would be a saving to the United
States Government Of more than
500, 10000 year.

DOMESTIC TRADE
LESS FAVORABLE
Commerce Department Re-

Ending January 9.
By the Associated Press.

Dy tue ASSOCldGcQ RreSS.
Domestic business conditions grew
less favorable during the week ended
January g. as the change was calcu-
lated by the Commerce Department in
its weekly summary Of conditions at
home and abroad.
Bank debts outside New York City
increased over the previous holiday
week, but were under the same week
last year. Loans and discounts of Fed
eral Reserve member banks showed
fractional decline from the previous
period. Interest rates on call money
declined. Time money rates increased
over the preceding period, reaching the
highest level since the opening of No
venlber, when the same average rate
was recorded.
Average prices of representative
stocks continued to decline. The ay-
erage price of 40 leading bonds rose
over the previous week, but was still
under this time last year. Business
failures, as reported by r. G. Dun Co.,
increased over the previous holiday
week, but were under the corresponding
week in 1881, even after corrections for
number of business days are made.
Wholesale prices, as indicated by the
composite index of 120 leading COM
modities, continued the general decline
which has been under way during the
past several months. Prices of agricul-
tural products decreased by 2,6 per cent
from the preceding week, and non

from the preceding week, reaching the

COTTON ENDS WEEK
WITH STEADY TONE
Active Positions Close Saturday
Trading Generally l to 6
Points Higher.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 16-An irregu-
lar opening in cotton today was fol-
lowed by rallies on renewal Of trade
buying and covering, promoted by re-
ports of firm basis in the South, and
rally in wheat.
March contracts, after selling off
from 6.71 to 666 during the early
trading, advanced to STA, and closed
at 673. The general market closed
very steady at net decline of points
higher on active positions.
The opening was steady at an ad-
vance OF 3 points to decline of l
point. Orders seemed to be pretty
evenly divided, but there was some
trade price fixing in the near months,
while the relatively easy showing of
the later deliveries was attributed to
some Southern selling and liquidation.
The trade demand seemed less active
than recently, and prices worked off
during the middle of kle morning
under moderate offerings, which prob
ably included some realizing or liqui-
dation and local selling on the easier
tone of the stock market.
May sold off to 6.81, while July de-
clined from 704 to 698, making net
losses OF about 2 to points on the
active positions, but the offerings were
not heavy and prices rallied in the
late trading on covering or rebuying
by some of the early sellers. There
was also some further demand from the
trade. May rallied to 6.98, and July to
7.05, and closing prices were within a
point or two of the best.
The late rally in the morning was
accompanied by reports of firm spot
basis in some of the Eastern markets,
and may have been encouraged by the
rally in the grain market. There was
comment on reports of large sales in
the cotton goods market, particularly
OF print cloth constructions, during the
week, but the days fluctuations seemed
to be largely result of technical re-
adjustments for the week end, except
for the moderate Southern selling
trade demand.

George L. Starkey, who has just been
reelected president Of the National
Bank of Washington, has been in the
service of the bank continuously for
more than 43 years, most enviable
record AS boy of 19 he started in
the humblest position in the institution,
that of messenger. However; n abll-
ity and close application to work were
soon noted by officials and he was re-
warded with rapid advancement and
for many years was one of the best
note tellerS the bank ever had.
After filling virtually every important
position in the bank, Mr.. Starkey was
advanced to the presidency on January
8, 1924, when his lifelong friend and
business associate, Clarence F. Norment,
relinquished the duties of the office and
was elected chairman of the board
That the bank does not change presi-
dents very often is shown by the fact
that Mr.. Norment held the position for
80 years before taking the place he now
holds.
Friends say that Mr. Starkey has IN
his possession his original letter OF ap-
plication for a place in the bank, writ
ten November 13, 1888, and also a
time-worn reply signed by j. A. Ruff,
the cashier, notifying him OF his ap-
pointment "on trial" effective Decem-
ber l, 1888.
Mr. Starkey is a native Of Washing
ton. His father lost leg while fight
ing with Maine regiment in the sec
ond days struggle at Gettysburg, but
lived in this city many years after the
Civil War The bankers mother is well
over 80 years of age and divides her
time between Belfast Me, and the
Starkey home on Michigan avenue.
The bank president is a member OF
the Washington Clearing House ASso-
ciation's Executive Committee, which is
the most important banking committee
in the Capital. He belongs to the
Chamber of Commerce and other SIM
liar organizations. During the World
War he was given special commenda-
ton by the Treasury for his splendid
work in connection with the Liberty
loan campaigns.

Harry Davis Cites
Scheme Evolved
In Detroit

Establishment Of taxicab stands
at approximately 70 fire plugs in
the downtown business section Of
Washington is arvocated by Harry
Davis, president of the 1ndepend-
ent Taxi Owners Association.
Davis cited a scheme evolved
in Detroit whereby space oppo-
site fire plugs is used for hack
stands, the cab drivers being al
lowed to park there but not to
desert their seats. Thus they can
pull out Immediately in case of
fire.
Chief Engineer George S. Wat
son, of the Fire Department, told
Mr.. Davis he believes there is pos
sibility in interference with the
Fire Departments apparatus, how
ever.
There are about $500 cabs in
Washington, more than in De-
troit, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh,
Cleveland and San Francisco com.
bined. Parking accommodations
on space opposite fire plugs would
lessen cruising and possibility of
arrest for parking off present
stands which only accommodate
about $50 cabs, Davis said.
In slow periods rs per cent of
cabs must cruise and so per cent
OF all their mileage is compulsory
and not paid for for this reason,
he added.
