PERSONALITIES BY
NELLIE DODSON
Sport Shots

That unusual play BILL BEVAN
made during the Chicago game
was an exact repetition of the one
he pulled down at Iowa. He SIM
ply hurtled over the opposing line
and leaped at the man in posses
sion of the ball. Startling, per-
haps, but both times it was at
tempted before the ball was
snapped, and ruled "no play"
This Bevan is an unusual per-
son. He goes helmetless in all
the games, and that great, I'M
ruly shock of taffy-colored hair
stands out like beacon light. He
leads straight into a line with his
head, and after every game his
face looks like something that has

been through the meat chopper.
He gets smacked down so hard
that you would think he'd never
be. able to get up, but on the next
play he's in there as tough as
ever. He throws wise cracks at
rival players until they get so
mad they could cheerfully muir
der him. Whattaman!
Bill and his kid brother, JAY,
a reserve guard, are about the two
toughest looking hombres on the
campus, and they seem to glory
in it! But Jay spoils the effect
when he speaks, for he has high,
rather falsetto voice which the fell
lows on the team just love to kid
him about.
And speaking of getting kidded,
I guess no one has stood for more
of it than MAURICE JOHNSON,
the reserve end, who has claimed
the limelight these last few weeks.
Maury is the sports editor of the
Minnesota Daily, and over in the
Daily office they razzed him plenty
about sitting on the bench, game
after game, for the last three
years. They're not razzing him
now, brother, they're wearing their
hands out slapping him on the
back. ...
have it as inside stuff that
Chicago's great back, JAY BER-
WANGER, was so tired after last
Saturdays game that he could
scarcely make it off the field. The
kids knees were fairly buckling
under him after the beating he
took. But he's great player and
of All-American calibre! Behind
line like Minnesota's that boy
would be unstoppable!
Aha, a formal is on the way
into our midst! The lads have
started scrambling for tuxedos
already. The CAMEO CLUB will
attempt to equal that history-mak-
ing formal of few years ago, all
of which means the gels will fall
out to the affair looking like
million dollars, and the boys will
be afraid to sneeze all evening for
fear the shirt front will go a-f1y-
ing off into the ozone. Wonder
if ADOLPH THOMAS still has
that collapsible silk topper which
brought down the house last time?
The thing had a way of popping
up at the most inconvenient times,
didn't it, Ad?
And that after-party at Smelling

5-YEAR MARK

American exports in June
showed the first substantial gain
over May since the boom year Of
1929, the Commerce Department
reports.
Exports were valued at $170,-
$4,000, compared with $160,207,-
900 in May and with $117,507,-
900 in June last year.
Last June, a gain of $5,500,000
was registered over May, but in
the preceding three years there
were declines averaging 20 million
dollars.
Imports dropped from $154,-
$4,000 in May to $136, ,O82 900 in
June, but were well above the
$119, 100000 for June last year.
For the first half of this year,
exports and imports increased SIS
and 46 per cent, respectively, over
last year.
Crude materials accounted for
the greatest increase in June ex-
ports, amounting to $9,028, 900 or
80 per cent of the total monthly
gain. The increase of $1,3130,000
in manufactured cotton exports
was the principal factor.
Reduction of sugar imports
from the Philippines was the
principal cause Of the decline in
imports during the month.

AUGUST STEEL
RISE EXPECTED

While appearing confident that
August will bring some improve
ment, the current month has been
written off by steelmakers as q
period Of absorption Of consumers
stocks, the magazine Steel says in
its latest summary.
Particular reliance is being
placed upon automobile manufac-
turerS' commitments, who are
now releasing only material to
round out inventories, unbalanced
by the SeasonallyStrong rate Of
production, with which to COM
plete schedules for current models.
Inquiries have already been issued
direct by some producers and part
makers.
Evidence Of the reliance of steel
makers on automobile manufac.
ture to supply tonnage in the fu-
ture is indicated, the review de-
clares by the construction or au-
thorization Of mills with annual
capacity for rolling 3,69O,00O tons
of sheets and strip, of the class
mainly used by the automobile in
duStry, at a cost of $4,000, 900.
Steelworks operations in the
nation last week dropped a half
point to an average of 29.5 per
cent Of capacity, the lowest week
since the second week in January.
The Washington times., 1934-07-30
SILVER OUTPUT PEOPLES DRUG
LOWER IN MAY NET TREBLED

Production of silver throughout
the world declined almost 100000
ounces during June, according to
the current monthly report of the
American Bureau Of Metal Stats
tics. Production is we'll above last
year, however. Total output for
the world during June is eSti-
mated at 15,193,000 fine ounces,
compared with 16,131,000 in May
and 1850 in June, 1888.
The decline was due principally
to a sharp drop in Canadian out
put from 1,543,000 ounces in May
to only 963 900 in June. The same
tendency was shown last year,
however, when Canadian output
dropped to $4,000 fine ounces in
June from 1,014,000 in May. The
July figure last year returned to
a more normal level.
In addition to the decline in
Canadian production was a 274,-
100000 drop in the estimated Mex
ican figure for June. The prelimi-
nary estimate places June output
at 100000 fine ounces compared
with 7,074,000 in May and 5,067,-
900 in June, 1888.
The Washington times., 1934-07-30
MAN-HOURS DIP
IN FACTORIES

Manufacturing activity in June,
as measured by total n1an-hourS
worked, decreased "a per cent &C.
cording to the monthly survey Of
the National Industrial Confer
ence Board, based on reports from
Is industries.
Employment decreased 81 per
cent and total payroll disburse-
ments 2.6 per cent, the first de-
creaSeS in these two indexes since
November, 1888. The pause in the
advance in manufacturing activity
indicated by a decline of 0.8 per
cent in man-hourS in May, the
first check since November, has
now extended to employment and
payrolls.
In 13 of the Is industries de-
clines in man-hourS ranged from
IA per cent in the northern cotton
industry and 13 per cent in the
automobile industry to less than
one-half of one per cent in the
iron and steel industry.
Such declines were party offset
by increased man-hourS in IL in
dustries ranging from 1915 per
cent in meat packing and IA per
cent in manufacture Of heavy
equipment to less than one-half
of one per cent in the chemical
industry.
Hourly earnings in June Of 58.6
cents were unchanged from May,
while weekly earrings of $2O.71
were less than one-half Of one per
cent smaller than in May, by rea-
son of an insignificant decline in
average hours per week.
A comparison Of conditions In
June, 1884, with those in June,
1898, in the Is industries as a
whole shows increases Of 29.9 per
cent in average hourly earnings,
11.3 per cent in actual average
weekly earnings, 2.8 per cent in
real average weekly earrings,
31.9 per cent in employment, 1875
per cent in total man-hours, and
46.7 per cent in payrolls, and a
decline of 14.7 per cent in the
average work week.
Similar stability was revealed
by the index changes in the cost
of living. With an index Of 1873
in June, compared with 100 in
1923, the computed advance over
May was less than one-haH Of one
per cent and in none Of the main
components of the cost Of living
was there a change Of as much as
one per cent.

RISECONT|NUES
FOR COTTON

NEW YORK, July 80 Q.N.S0
Cotton futures added gains of so
cents bale today to similar ad-
vance registered Saturday as SEN
timent was stimulated by a sharp
rise at Liverpool and a report
showing the carry over of Ameri-
can cotton further reduced in the
season just ended.
The market was firm from the
start, when futures Spurted 8
to 10 points on Liverpool cables
that were IL to 18 American points
above due prices. Renewed specu-
lative buying later in the forenoon
slightly increased initial gains.
Although world consumption of
American cotton in the 1933-34
season was somewhat smaller than
the preceding season, totaling 49,.
564,0OO bales against 14,405, 900
bales, it was larger than produc-
tion in 1933-34, the New York Cot.

1885, 900 bales, as compared with
11,754,000 bales a year ago and
1926, 900 bales two years ago.
These figures brought fairly
good buying from Wall Street and
commission houses. Domestic
trade sources and professionals
made scattered purchases through
out the forenoon. Locals and the
South were the chief sellers ir
early dealings. There were scat
tered offerings from some Of the
larger spot firms.
Around the noon hour, futures
were up z to II points. October
was up 7 at $500, December UP
