Commodity Price

AUBURNDALE, Mass. July P)-
Commodity prices during the week just
closed climbed to a new high and stand
on the highest level since November, 1881
The general increase in all groups from
the low in February now measures prac-
tically 80 per cent. During the opening
week in July price stability was not
noted in even one group. An inspection
of price changes in IA Individual groups
shows IL increases and three declines.
Industrial prices moved upward with
marked momentum. rejecting a moder-
ate increase in building materials, a
sharp gain in fuels and price mark-up
in non-ferrous metals. ferrous metals.
paint materials, paper and pulp and
vegetable oils. The administration
stated in its message to the World Mon
etary and Economic Conference that
the first task is to restore prices to
level at which industry, and above all
agriculture, can function profitably and
efficiently" The first objective was to
restore prices to a 1904 level. Now
the goal is price level comparable with
1924 and 1925.
Inventories Reduced.
Statistics show that inventories of
raw materials apd finished goods have
rapidly diminished during the last two
months, as replacement demand has
been partially replenished.
Agricultural prices moved upward
with about the same rapidity as the
upswing in industrial prices. Grains
reached a new high. while cotton scared
to the 10ta cent level F1axseed also
averaged somewhat higher.
Live stock represented one Of the
three groups which declined. Whereas
agricultural prices have increased So
per cent from the extreme low. the ad-
vance in live stock quotations measures
but 80 per cent.
Fuels recorded the broadest advance
Of any group as price revisions upward
in petroleum have occurred just as
abruptly as the radical declines which
took place in May.
Non-ferrouS metals advanced quite
sharply. Copper at the end Of the week
was quoted at $50 cents. Lead reached
a new high, which was also true Of tin
and zinc. as well as quicksilver.
Fine textiles featured an increase
into new high ground under the leader
ship Of cotton. Wool prices have re-
corded more stability. whereas silk prices
during the week ductuated within a
narrow range.
Other Groups Decline.
The other groups that declined dur
ing the week were chemicals and hides

More Scouts Before the Camp Fire

The Boy Scout Movement is primarily movement to the out of doors. The Boy Scouts of America is leader, and to a eer- tain extent, pioneer, in such activities. It sees to it that groups of boys get chance to go camping each summer and also in the winter if they want to do SO. Each year its efforts result in larger numbers and fully 320,000 Scouts were in camp last year. It goes further and sees boys are so directed by the counsel of friendly advisers that the boys get lot more out of their holiday in the open than they otherwise possibly could
 But even this is not the end and the Boy Scouts and other organizations working with youth go still further, planning with con- structive effort 10 give the boys who go to camp and on overnight and weekend hikes something that shall be of lasting ben eft to them and to the community of which they are growing citizens. Boy Scouts a, camp just to name three of many things they are taught, learn how to prevent aeei- dents on water and on land, how 10 render first aid and the technique of swimming.
 Every year hundreds of lives are saved by Boy Scouts who are good swimmers and experts in life saving. Boy Scouts and other outdoor leaders have but lately developed a technique for life saving in winter and prevention of skating and other ice accidents. Winter camping in spite of school duties and other controlling conditions is a popu- lar activity. and many hikes and short camps during the celebration of the twenty-third anniversary of the organization which is being celebrated February 8-l4, l933, will testify to the camping activities of Boy Scouts.

Senate to unite with me in carrying out this pledge and refuse to consider the matter of minor judgsships until definite action has been taken one way or the other on the mat ter of the district court and analogous bills. If these bills fail. then the responsibility must lie upon those who take this action. but certainly the members of the democratic party in the Senate cannot be party to it.
 It must have been clear. though to dis interested parties that the district court bill had no more chance of passing this session of the Legislature than it did in l93l. If there was any serious intent to consider it. why was the hearing on it before the judic- iary committee announced for Friday of next week. seven to ten days after hearings on majority of minor court judgeships will have been heldi Perhaps by the time the hearing is held there will be several appoint nents to the minor euorts. It's possible with the judiciary committee busy all this week holding hearings It's certainly obvious that the democrats in the Legislature to stick by their campaign pledge, must hold them up until after the district court bill has been disposed of.

Life From Outer Space

Unusual thoughts are aroused. by the re- port of Professor Charles B. Lpman of the University of California, that he has found living matter in meteors. It appears in the form of bacteria which can be grown and multiplied in the laboratory like those found here on the earth. Nearly everyone will say at once that the bacteria were doubtless earth.born. and appeared in the course of the experiments through accident or earelessneSs. But Professor Lipman thinks not.
 He took meteoric rock specimens from museums, some of which had lain in the earth while and some freshly fallen. He says he sterilized them by the most drastic treatment, with chemicals and fire, then transferred them under sterile conditions to q sterile mortar, and ground them to powder, put the powder in d sterile culture solution, and the bacteria appeared. He had similar results year ago with coal that had lain deep in the earth for millions of years, and with petroleum freshly pumped from deep wells.
 Apparently some of the most primitive forms of living matter are far more durable than scientists have thought, resisting great heat and cold and living incredibly long. If these latest experiments are trustworthy, they mean that living matter may exist in outer space and on other planets. and may be transferable from world to world

Just to show that it harbors no III feel ing towards the city for suggesting that some of it's tax-exempt property be included on the New Haven tax list Yale University officials this week forwarded to the city a check for the full amount of their taxes for the current year. The sum was slightly ovef Sl0O,000, SO the city treasury should have a comfortable feeling for few days at least New Haven taxes were due February l. but with thirty day grace period the two dates of tax installments for the taxpayers are eus- tomarily March and September 1. It is ale ways a relief to harasssd city officials to get a cheek for the full amount from the large taxpayers. It often-times is all that prevents floating a temporary loan. Yale has aided the city at an opportune moment.

Famous Waterloo bridge crossing the Thames in London won't be torn down after all A ten year controversy between the city and the government has just been ended with the decision to widen the present struc- ture to permit four lanes of traffic. Of course that will entail strengthening the pres ent supports, too. Ten years ago it was dis covered that the bridge built in the early part of the 19th century by 5ohn Rennis was disntegrating. All sorts of schemes were suggested even new bridges. But London likes its historic structures, SO Waterloo bridge will be saved, even at the price of two million dollars

 Washington--The United States is now consuming more sauerkraut than Germany itself. but that doesn't mean that 'all is rosy h the kraut industry.
 There's 0 real kraut crisis which corresponds to crisis in various other industries. Very soon there must be @ lot less kraut or there will be q few less kraut packers.
 The National Gamers associa- ton reveals this unfortunate sit, uation in releasing certain well important New York pickle man, at its national convention in Chl- cago. Mr Babcock waD for years president of tho National Kraut Packers association and his words carry great weight among kraut magnates.
 q told Q man sometime ago that I thought tho kraut packers were the biggest set of fools In Ihe country" said Mr Babcock. "They will hii their tanks with kraut in tho fall with no surety whatever that they can sell 1t at even cost.
 "It looks to me as if fully 50 per cent of tho packers, not only kraut canners but all canners, will either bo compelled to go out Of business this year or cut their out put tremendoubiy. Too much kraut was produced last fall--an increase of 20 per cent over 1881, us nearly as we can find. There should have been Q decrease Of 33 Ia per cont because to my way of thinking we will never get Q profit or even the cost of canned kraut or anything eiee until the demand is greater than the supply"
 4 while ago, said Mir Babcock, ho looked up the ratings of some of his chief competitors who wero amazing him with their low kraut prices. IIo found that ono had quick assets of S240,000, current Liabilities of s332,000 and Q net loss for the year of $125,000. If you want q business man to throw you out of his office thoso days.

The Right Idea

Governor Wilbur L. Cross has thrown down the gauntlet to the Legislature partie- ularly the democratic members. Whether or not they will fling it back in his face or line up with him will certainly be decided this week. Just as soon as the judiciary com
 mittee has reported favorably on one snsl appointment to minor court of the state it will be up to the democratic members of the Senate to show where they stand. That they will devate from the course advocated by the governor seems perfectly obvious. in- asmueh as many of them introduced, perhaps upon request. resolutions naming democrats to minor judgeships.
 As the governor points out, as soon as one judgeship resolution is passed there will be no sense in bringing the district court bill up for vote The Legislature can't very well pass it after naming the very officials New London last fail delegates to the dem oeratie state convention went on record as that 1t would remove from office. Yet at approving of the district court plan. Two years ago democrats in the House and Sem ate voted for it. while republicans were de' featins it. To explain their present att. tude towards the minor court judgeships will require more than a casual explanation. Can lie be that the democrats are blind to every. thing but the thoughts of patronage.
 Here is what Governor Cross says in tbis respect. "As che governor of this state elected on our democratic platform 1 earnes' y solicit my fellow party workers in the

Now It's a ''Kraut Krisis"
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

Mir Babcock said, just quote him D price on your commodity that would yield 0 fair profit.
 The can and tho wrapper lon kraut. he revealed, now cost more than 50 per cent of the price ob- tained for the article. The price of cans must como down or kraut packers will have to put theiF kraut in something else.
 Furthermore the laboring man, who buys most of the kraut, is going to be spending Q billion dol. lars a year for beer and you can't get away from that fact, accord. Ing to Mr Babcock.
 The bright spots, he added, were the fact that business men are becoming more businesslike and that low prices arc putting out of business "men who never should have gone into the canning business, who had not braini enough to pack kraut or anything else."
 Or maybe you'd rather hear about congress.
 Congress has been turning out more or less on masse to see the more or less musical comedy calls cd "of Thee Sing," c play which tends to make tho govern ment and It's officials look more or less ridiculous.
 The vice : president elect, Jack Garner, arranged box party iil order to sec Victor Moore, m ae' tor, make tho vico presidency .ut- teriy ridiculous.
