BUSINESS IS
 CLIMBING OUT
 DEPRESSION PIT

WASHINGTON, July 21. World business, as it passed it's 1883 mid way mark in it's struggle for re- covery, was heartened by indica- tions that it has at last climbed from the bottom of the depression pit.
 The world outlook now, compared with that of a year or six months ago, seems generally improved, and some of the most significant bus mess indexes show definite gains in leading industrial nations since the beginning of 1883.
 Government ec m t S say, however, that most of the gains are still spotty and of an almost pure ly domestic character. The m o t striking advances, like those regis tered in the United States, are at- tributed in considerable measure to the result of governmental action to improve the individual national ablishment.

MARKET HAD
 A DIZZY SPELL

NEW YORK, July 21. Propelled by unseen forces to a trading vol ume which has not been equalled in three years, stocks and commod- ities markets collapsed yesterday bringing huge losses to spectators.
 From the most obscure to the greatest, the markets felt this sweep which in late trading seem ed unbridled. Widest confusion pre- vailed on the floor of the exchange as sellers sought buyers.
 At the close of the market traders and observers were dizzy trying to account for the two successive days of tobaganning prices which have already brought billions of dollars in paper losses.

AMERICANS ARE
 FAVORED TO WIN

AUTIUEL, France, July 21. - The American tennis team was in stalled as a slight betting favorite to beat the British and gain the right to meet France in he chal- lenge round for the Davis Cup.
 There was, however, little betting on the outcome of the three-day meeting which starts today, as most Americans here regard it as an even money proposition.
 French and British enthusiasts, however, feel that the Americans should be seven to five favorites So most of the friendly bets are made on the outcome of the diff ferent matches.

POSTS PLANE
 WAS REPAIRED
 BY ?. A. A. MEN

Aviator Harold Post, flying round- the-world, who arrived in Alaska yesterday morning after flight from Siberia fared rather ill when he came down at Flat, Alaska yes terday. In landing he damaged his airplane and quite extensive repairs were necessary.
 Grave fears were held for the safety of Aviator Post when he fail ed to show up at Fairbanks and when aviator Noel Vein, of the Vein Airways, arrived there and said that Post had passed h m about ITO miles West of Fairbanks the fears were in no way lessened. Post had left Nome at about 8::3O am. local time and should have been in Fairbanks three hours la ter, if he was to equal the time he had made on his flight with Gatty in 1881.
 The rain, and low clouds, which made visibility rather poor, prob ably accounts for the fact that Pilot Post got off his course and came down at Flat where his plane noSed over. Post was uninjured.
 Post, being dead tired, went to bed immediately.
 Meanwhile, Pilot Joe Crosson, of the Pacific Alaska Airways. and several mechanics left Fairbanks with spare propellors and props to go to Flat to repair Posts plane while the round the-world flier was getting some needed rest.
 Today, Pilot Al Monsen, picked up Fairbanks on his airplane radio and he reports that the plane had been repaired and that Post was in the air at 5:15 a. m. this morn ing. A later report says that he and Pilot Vein, each in a plane, flew to Fairbanks where further minor repairs will be made. They arrived in Fairbanks at 1O:45 am.
 From Fairbanks Post will fly to Edmonton Canada and back to his starting point, New York City.
 In speaking about the speed of Posts plane when he passed him near Fairbanks, Pilot Vein said that Post passed him almost as if he, Wien, was standing still.

proposed that the two leading candi-
dates, Mr.. Cobb and Robert c. Winthrop.
who had been Speaker in the preceding
Congress, draw lots. Sixty-two members
of the House, worn and weary, were in
favor of ending it all in that manner.
But 1872 other members, just as worn
and just as weary, insisted the choice
be by ballot.
Mr. Cobb finally won over Mr.. Win
throp by a vote of 102 to 100.
Intensity of that election reveals that
once, at least, affairs followed the sim
pie provision OF the Constitution which
states that "the House of Represent
atives shall choose their Speaker" Now
atimes, however, election of a Speaker
by the House virtually is little more than
confirmation of the choice made in ad-
vance by caucus of members of the
majority party.
It would seem exceedingly strange, for
instance, If the House were now to ad-
here to a precedent set many decades
ago when the matter of making a
choice" on the floor Of the House ap-
parently was accepted as a strict con-
stitutional enjoinder Then the House
asked all candidates for the SpeakerShip
to state their views on major issues and
to submit to questions fired at them by
their fellow legislators. This was
deemed to be "in conformity with the
principles Of a great popular Govern
ment."
The practice of calling upon candi-
dates to make campaign speeches on the
floor of the House in their efforts to gain
the speakership probably never again
will be resurrected. With many obso-
lete customs, strange circumstances, and
grand events, it has taken it's place in
the colorful history which has grown
around blocks of white marble, carved
and fitted long ago to become rostrum
which is a symbol.

Farm Values Defafed

JUST as the large corporations whose shares
- are listed ON the stock exchange have gone
through two phases in reaching low-share
values, 50, too, has the value of farm land
dropped. With the bursting of the speculative
boom stock prices fell with great rapidity. This
was followed after some recovery by a further
decline based ON the loss of dividends and earn
ing power.
The same situation has prevailed on farm
lands, with the first crash from speculative
values getting decidedly under way in 1920.
Now second stage in reduced values is under
way, with fully two-thirds of the States report
ing their farm land now valued at prices below
pre-war levels. These low prices are based,
of course, on the earning power Of the farms,
which at present low yields for agricultural
products is nothing encouraging to prospective
buyers
Only the Pacific and the New England States
can point to prices higher than the pre-war
figure, the present index being somewhere
around lis.
In the two years from January b 1880. to
January /, 1882, the decline in farm values
was about "A per cent the value dropping from

Light Causes RauciAty

A NEW discovery of the effect of light on
the rancidity Of foods may go far toward
removing this cause Of serious loss of foods in
which various oils are a component. The De-
partment Of Agriculture estimates that the
value of foods produced in this country sub
ject to rancidity totals approximately one bill
lion dollars and to this be added several
hundred million more represented by animal
feeds and various commercial articles.
Experiments have indicated that light bands
Of the spectrum approximating the green of
chlorphyl the vegetable coloring matter, will
preserve foods from rancidity while the bands
on either side of this section will stimulate the
development of rancidity. This brings the
obvious conclusion that articles wrapped in
wrappers of ehlorphyl green shade will be pro-
tected and naturally black wrappers would be
equally effective because they would absorb
the light rays causing rancidity
The adoption of the green wrapper would
be decidedly advantageous to such articles as
butter, potato chips lard, nuts, mayonnaise,
cookies corn meal whole wheat -four and other
articles in which oils play a large part. It is
estimated that millions of dollars would be
saved annually by this proper control of ram
cidity

how two attempts were made to con-

lottery.
During 10 wintry days the House had
been held at a nerve-destroying tension,
with 30 ballots having brought no ap-
proach to a decision. Lewis c. Levin,
a Representative from South Carolina,
remembering that the Senate in earlier
years had heard the proposal that the
President of the United States be chosen
from among its members by the drawing
Of lots, saw an opportunity to inject
sheer chance into conflict which well
balanced forces of five factions had
brought to a deadlock
Mr.. Levin plunged into the legislative
tumult, shouting his suggestion that five
slips of paper, each bearing the name
of one of the five leading contestants, be
placed in box and that the man whose
name appeared on the slip withdrawn
from the box by the clerk of the House
be accepted as the duly elected Speaker.
But the House would have none of it.
One more ballot was taken, and still
the deadlock continued. Then it was
