SENSE OF HUMOR

Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey
City, who was floor leader of the
Smith forces in the Democratic

orary member of a Republican club
in New Jersey, in recognition of the
distinguished service he has rem
dered the Republican party in
broadcasting his opinion that Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt sis the weak

could have named and can not car

nually from lack of caution at in
tersections. Yet thousands of driv-
ers will continue to pass cars on
curves or will dash recklessly
across a dangerous intersection.
Virtually all authorities contend
that the answer lies with the mo-
torists. They must learn not to take
chances. They must govern their
speed according to conditions. They
must use appropriate hand signals
and respect the other fellows sig
nails. They must not pass cars on
curves or on hills. They must not
go down hills in high gear. They
must not drive cars with faulty
brakes or with defective steering
gears. They must keep their head
lights properly focused and they
must acquire a more widespread
realization of their personal respon-
sibility as drivers.
This applies to you-haVe you
thought about your responsibility?

Reduction of the leg ornament

National League as a step to pre-

gestion was made at meeting of
the circuits umpires with President
John Heydler in New York on July

the rules and various knotty prob

While nothing definite was agreed
upon as the best way to solve the
troublesome problem as to how far
a catcher can go to keep runner
from sliding into the plate, several
suggestions were offered for Presi-

suggestion which appeared most
feasible = unless an interference

BUSINESS IS NOW

But some banking quarters were
little wary because of the possibil-
ity, as they saw it, that too much
ballyhOo might raise hopes unduly
high, and that too many people
might get the idea that miraculous
change was about to take place over
night. Opinion in those quarters was
that the process of convalescence is
now started, but it will take the pa
tient some time to regain his normal
health.
Widespread attention was paid to
the plan sponsored by Eugene Meyer
for creating a huge sum which
would be utilized to finance pur-
chases of principal commodities. AS
now planned, the program would
derive the benefit of joint action by
the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton and of private banking inter-
ests. In the meantime price indexes
rose moderately with wheat register
ing a substantial gain, while ad-
vances of lesser proportions were
made by cotton, copper, lead, zinc,
beef, butter, raw silk and crude
rubber.
Further indications were furnish
ed to show that the railroads are
working earnestly to develop better
cooperation within the industry.
Representative of eastern carriers
will discuss again next week the ad-
visibility of following a proposal
broached by the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation that they borrow
from the government sponsored body
for the purpose of renovating their
equipment.
Building contracts, after advanc-
ing fairly sharply in the early part
of July as compared with the June
figures, fell off somewhat in the final
week of the month. Compared with
an average seasonal decline in July
of about per cent under June, last
months total of building contracts
was $128,767,0OO, a gain of 1872 per
cent over the June figure of $113,-
O75,OOO. The daily average rate in
the final week of the month declined,
however, to $3,939,542, against $5,-
624,129 earlier in the month.

Well, after having been on the
short end of the score in the pre-
ceding two games, the Tower Boys
showed a little of the old spirit and
let Staytonsville be on the short
end of a 4 to game at the tower.
For six innings Quillen, the Tow
er pitcher, kept the Staytonsville
boys from reaching third base, but
in the seventh a single, double and
misjudged fly which went for
double, allowed 2 runs to cross the.
plate. The games this Saturday and
Sunday are at the Tower.

with President Harridge against

put the infeld in playing condition.
The Tigers were leading, 10 to 4,
