Than for Any Month in the
Past Four Years.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, June 6. Business is
better, say the statistical pundits who,
scruttnizing the recent improved figures
from every angle. find that fewer COM
panieS are falling
The complete report for May, Just
issued, discloses that the number of
nsolvencieS was the lowest for any
month in the past four years The
figure of 1909 compares with 2,758 de-
faults for May, 1882, the highest num-
Der ever recorded for that particular
month
Liabilities, too, were lower than they
have been for any month since Sep
tenber. 1881, according to Dun &
Bradstreet. Inc, compiler of the sta
tistics. The figures for May this year
OF S47,971,573 compare with S83, ,763,-
521 for May, 1882.
For the past week business failures
showed another considerable drop The
number was 378. as compared with 459
and 429 respectively, in the two pre-
ceding weeks, and 554 in the same
week last year.
The records show that the improve
ment for the past week was largely in
the South and the West. Failures in
the East were also fewer but in the
Pacific Coast there was a moderate in
crease over the preceding week.

SPACE FOR BURy|NC
100000 SOUGHT
Enlargement of Arlington
Cemetery Object of Bill by
Representative Luce.

Proposal to enlarge Arlington National
Cemetery so as to provide sufficient
room for burial of 1000, 900 World Wal
soldiers who are entitled to burial there
was made to the House yesterday by
Representative Luce, Republican, OF
Massachusetts,, former chairman of the
Library Committee.
The legislation contemplates acquisi-
ton of the Arlington Experimental
Farm of the United States Department
of Agriculture and possibly the acquisi-
ticn of a crematory adjacent to the
cemetery on the south.
The bill directs that the Secretary OF
War be required to report to Congress
before July /, 1884 plans for enlarge
ment of the cemetery and authorizes
an appropriation of $4,000 fer prepara-
tion of plans for proper topography
corresponding with the cemetery as it
already exists and for proper land
Scaping.
Representative Luce pointed out that
with the cemetery already nearly filled
it Is time to have such a study made in
order that these entitled to it may be
buried in the cemetery. The expert
mental farm lies east of the cemetery
and along the Potomac River bank.
The Representative explained that even
with this additional area the cemetery
would not be sufficiently large to &C
oommodate all those entitled to burial
there. He said some of those who have
given particular study to the situation
believe that hall of urns should be
established where the families of the
deceased could have an option between
burial in the cemetery and cremation
with an urn instead of tombstone.
This legislation has the support OF
the Secretary of War and the Com
mission of Fine Arts. which would be
advisory to the Secretary in the prepa-
ration of plans.
It has long been contemplated that
the Arlington Farm eventually would
30 taken over for the extension of the
cemetery.

the Chicago worlds fair.
The motor develops 800 horse
power and has speed of 1876 miles
an hour in high gear, and 104 miles
an hour in second.
The body, which required four
months to build by the Rollston
Body Company, New York City, is

STEERING is of broadcloth.
The instruments include COM
pass to enable the driver to deter
mine directions should he lose his
way while wandering from main
highways, and an altimeter to de-
termine his position above sea level
A light system to determine the
water supply in the battery and the
supply of oil in the motor are in
novations in the way of equipment.
The body is entirely of aluminium,
the doors of cast aluminium. The
car is equipped with safety non

BY w. E. M'KENNEY

THERE is no glory in winning a
Il trick with an ace or king
The real thrill of contract comes
in making seemingly worthless
cards work for you to produce
much-neded trick.
Sir Derrick j. Wernher of Deal,
N. j., president of the American
Bridge League, gives demonStra-
ton of this neat play in the follow
ing hand.
Sir Derrick, sitting in the South
and using the Sims constructive
system of bidding, opened the con-
tracing with one spade.
While the hand is rich in tenace
positions, it contains weak double
ton which Immediately condemns it
as an original no trump bid-and
Of course there are 100 honors in
spades, in addition.
West. having the other major,
made a negative double. North had
just borderline constructive over
call of two spades. East passed.
South went to three spades. and
North rather optimistically carried
the contract to four spades.
West opened the king of hearts
and then shifted to the eight of
trump, Sir Derrick in the South
winning with the ten. 1t looks as
though the declarer must lose two
heart and two diamond tricks.
The jack of hearts was led. West
winning with the queen. West re-
turned another spade, hoping to
stop some club ruffs. Sir Derrick
won the trick with the jack and
then led a small club, winning in
dummy with the ace.
