TO 121ST ENGINEERS
Practice in SmaII-Arms
Workmanship Required.
Sanitation Good.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

CAMP RITCHIE, Md, August 9.-The
principles Of rigging and field fortiflca-
tions occupied the attention this morn
ing of the 121st Engineer Regiment,
District CT Columbia National Guard, as
Companies A and D received instruction
in knots and lashings and constructed
log dead-man and picket hold-fast
anchorsges and Companies C, E and F
taped off and dug firing trenches.
Starting today, all officers and men
who failed to qualify with the pistol,
rife or automatic rifle matches at Camp
SimmS Congress Heights, before coming
to camp, will have to forego their after
noon leisure periods and acquire prof.
cheney in small arms craftsmanship.
Corpl. Eugene A. Ross, Pvt. George F.
Kern and Pvt Jack H. Young, all of
the Ordnance Detachment, have been
buSily engaged in the preparation Of
various rifle range accessories.
If the results of yesterdays sanitary
inspection by Maj. Joseph j. Greenlaw,
regimental surgeon, are criteria of the
remainder of the camp period, the folks
back home need not fear for the health
of any soldier. Four companies scored
95 per cent in kitchen efficiency, but
Company A, commanded by Capt.
George L. Evans, won the kitchen merit
nag with SO per cent. Mess Sergt. Wal
ton E. Shipley was personally RESPONSE
BILE for the maintenance Of such a high
standard Of cleanliness and proudly dis
played the flag in front of his mess hall.
Company A, with Corpl. James r.
Mitchell as non-commissioned officer in
charge of quarters. also won another
flag, which is awarded the company
having the cleaneSt tent area and the
neatest arrangement Of clothing and
hunks.
After the usual evening concert given
by the l2lst Engineer Band, Col. John
W. Oehmann reglmental commander,
was host to the following Army officers
who are here to inspect and instruct
various National Guard and Reserve
officer units: Lieut.. Col. Charles B.

A. P. Moncure, U. S. Infantry; Capt
Glenn H.. Slough, Corps of Engineers:
Capt. Nicholas D. Woodward, U. S. In
fantry, and First Lieut.. John G. Wade,
Corps Of Engineers.
Warrant Officer Meyer N Goldman,
bandmaster, displayed his versatile
talent by singing several songs and CIV
ing a violin recital The best liked
vocal number was Sweet Violets. !"
Much improvement in the performance
of the interior guards has been evident
since Capt. Ralph L. Walker, Judge
Advocate Generals Department. State
staff, was assigned to instruct them.

earning power alone would not have
cut average prices roughly in half be-
tween March and June.
One Of the chief causes of that de-
cline, according to this explanation, was
the selling, together with the almost
complete paralysis of buying power, in
duced by fear. There was heavy
liquidation from banks which were SELL
ing out collateral loans, and reducing
their investments to get more of their
resources into cash.
Some Sent Money Abroad.
Erstwhile wealthy investors were
liquidating what they had left in the
urge to get cash. Some of them were
sending part Of their capital abroad, on
the theory there was no telling what
was going to happen, and 1t might be
prudent to have wealth distributed in
two or three countries.
And what brought the turn was again
not change in corporate earnings, but
a change in psychology. The outflow Of
gold came to an end. Congress ad-
journed without enacting any legisla-
tion OF particularly radical stripe Gold
began to come back. And, suddenly, II
was learned that foreigners had become
bullish on the United States. and were
buying dollar securities. With that the
entire mental attitude changed.

To be added to this write-up of farm

ing the upturn that has occurred i'll
cotton prices. When the increase in
miscellaneous grains and in dairy prod
ucts is included the total runs into huge
S'gureS. Both butter and eggs on Mon
S-,y reached the highest prices of the
present year, with the situation con-
sidered bullish.
Gains Real to Farmer.
Advances that have occurred in farm
prices, however, still have not carried
markets back to the levels that pre-
vailed year ago in most instances.
At this time. last year wheat was about
cents buShel cheaper than now on
the Chicago market, but corn was 20
cents higher. Hogs averaged $3.50 a
hundred pounds last year, compared
with S4-25 now; cattle averaged S81O
against SIPS now, and lambs averaged
$500, compared with $3.50. Gains that
have occurred are very real. neverthe-
less, and mean more to the farmer, be-
cause of the drastic reductions he has
made in production costs this season.
On the board of trade here Monday
the exchange celebrated the date set
for its closing by a Government COM
mission in staging the biggest day in
months. court appeal had kept the
market open for this occasion and it
was utilized to write up grain prices in
what new is spectacular manner.
Farmers in 81
die West, particularly in Iowa and
North Dakota, are talking of staging
selling Strikes-refusing to market
their products until values are carried
much higher. Insuperable difficulties
would seem to face the spread of a
movement of this kind, owing to the
necessity that confronts most producers
to meet maturing bank and other obli-
cations, so that most interests in the
agricultural industry take the proposed
strike lightly.
