London Letter
BY JOSEPH GREGG, JR. United Press Staff Correspondent


 London - (UP)-Britain's fog sleuths, both professional and ann ateur, are hot on the trail of the old familiar pea-soup fog, or London Particular" which s millions of Londoners coughing and spluttering at this time of year.
 The principal center of anti-fog research is the National Physical Laboratory at Teddington, near here. A mixed assortment of fogs, ranging from synthetic harmless sea mist to the most objectionable green-pea London fog blanket, is concocted Artifically in the spe- cial department set aside there for fog research work.
 Fog Detectives
 The fog detectives have special instruments for classifying the various "vintages" of fog and test ing the amount of moisture and dirt they contain. London, accord ing to the experts, always will suf- fer from fogs, but a good deal can be done in the direction of clean- ing them up and making them less unpleasant. Another important job which the fog sleuths have been concentrating on lately is trying out different types of au- tomobile lamps to test their fog penetrating abilities.
 Old-timers in London say that the famous old-fashioped pea- souper has become somewhat a thing of the past in the metropo- lis. Whereas 10 or 15 years ago London had to resign Itself to an obnoxious green, yellow, brown, or even black blanket of fog on an average about 80 times every win- ter, the average now has fallen to about a dozen times.
 Ono of Britain's best known fog experts, Dr John s. Owens, has estimated that during the worst pea-soup fogs about 240 tons of soot are suspended over the i2O square miles of the county of London. Even during a eompara- lively anaemic variety of fog there are about 100 tons Of soot floating In the air.
 There ia very little moisture In q real "London Particular" of the Old.faahloDed kind, according 10 the exports. The soot particles abs sorb the drops of moisture nnd take theIF place. This, it neens, is the reason why the London fog ia 70 painful to tho eyes and throat.
 According io Dr Owons, every fsenhener breathee in aolnslhlnl like if billion particles of Ho0i 10 one hour .of ihiok fcE, while lhe 1000 .o0D inhabitants af the eNuils iy of London helwoen ihfm breathe into theif liinsa i.Hpp

MATRIMONY By Bill Fife

In the dictionary the word "matrimony" means marriage. Marriage doesn't mean living alone with one woman; you have to live with her mother too. Married life is often referred to as ''the sea of matrimony." Boy oh boy! Is It stormy? Your mother-in-law by the way is the captain, your vile the first mate. You're whats left. You're supposed to go out and earn money to buy food to keep your mother-in-law alive. Your wife spends the money on clothes, and gets credit for the food. Also she gets a new dress every week. You're lucky if you can buy a suit every two y:ars. And you have to keep mother-in-law properly clothed too. Your trouser pockets wear out long before their time because wife is careless when she goes through them at night. You're supposed to take all orders cheer fully, and not complain when blame Is placed on you for some- thing you knew nothing about. No doubt matrimony has its good points, but don't know what they are.

tured the non-ferrouS metals in the

ton attracted general buying from
battery makers, ammunition, paint

Zinc held steady until late in the

small galvanizing operations, as well
as because of increased ore Produc-
ton.
Tin was lower as q result largely
OF the weakness Of sterling exchange.
Demand was slow and consumers

NEW YORK, September 1.-Prepa-
rations for q general strike in the
textile industry dominated the news
today and cast shadows Of doubt and
uncertainty over the financial COM
munity.
If the strike, which seemed newt
able, were Of fairly short duration, IL
was felt that it would not seriously
interfere with what Autumn busines.
recovery was in prospect, for invento.
ries on hand are still sufiicient to last
some weeks, despite the reduced oper-
ations of the Summer. Thus, If oper-
ations are generally resumed after q
few weeks, it was felt that industry
might experience q good rebound Al
a result Of an improved statistical
position.
But a labor dispute Of such magni-
tude was decidedly sobering in it,
effect upon the financial community
and hopes that it would not spread
were widely expressed.
Business failed to give much clue
to the post-Labor day prospects, al
though that holiday Is usually re-
garded as the turning point from va
cation dullness to Autumn revival
Nevertheless, that revival is often not
particularly distinct until nid-Sep-
tember. The best augury of an Au-
tumn pickup thus far has been the
vigor of retail trade. Dun d Brad
street said The last week was the best
of the Summer.
A number of industrial plants are
using the Labor day week end for
shutdowns varying from a few days
to a week. Automobile output this
week, according to Grams estimate,
has fallen to 32,506 units, OH 19,845
from the previous week, and 14.341
under the like week of last year.

Dispatches from abroad revealed
that gold was again moving out OF
India to London in response to higher
prices. The cessation of shipments
several weeks ago, combined with the
lack of gold receipts from South
Africa, had been regarded as a prime
factor in depressing the pound.

CHEMICAL PRICES
MOVE DOWNWARD
Paint and Drug Groups Affected
Least by Further Display
of Weakness.
Special Dispatch 10 The Star.


NEW YORK, September 1.-Price
reductions outweighed advances in
several divisions of the markets for
heavy and fine chemicals last week,
the Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter
will say in its September 3 issue. THE
paint and drug groups were the least
affected by the further display of
weakness. Existing conditions and
the threat of serious labor trouble in
the textile industry constituted an un-
favorable factor.
Lower prices were named on tin
crystals, stannate of soda, domestic
tartaric acid, quicksilver, nitrate of
soda, land certain varnish gums. Ad-
vances were made in quotations on
red lead, litharge, zinc stearate and
palmitate and other metallic soaps,
and a number of organic fertilizer
materials. Coaltar chemicals, with
the exception of toluene, continued
dull; the movement of toluene to the
lacquer industry was fairly good.
The Reporters composite index
number for prices of heavy and fine
chemicals dropped from 1858 to 1884
compared with August l, 1914, as
1000. In comparison with the average
prices in 1926 (as 1907, the Reporters
index number is now 88.8, against 1913

Decline in the pound against the

Wall Street.
N YEW YORK, September 1.-Wall
N Street has been keeping close
watch on devaluation of the
i pound sterling. which appears
to have entered into a race
with the dollar in the matter of de-
probation. The effect of the cheap
ening of the pound will work some
hardship to American exporters, who
will find competitive conditions greatly
improved for British manufacturers.
President Roosevelt, however, has a
weapon with which to combat such a
situation. 1t is within his power to
reduce the gold dollar to so cents. At
this level the dollar would have an
advantage over the pound in the ex-
port trade. It Is q question, however
