New York, oct. 4-(UP)--war buying reappeared nj world mar kets today pushing munitions and allied shares higher and bringing improvement in grains and cotton.
 Trading was quiet on the New York stock exchange--after a fair ly active opcning--but in light sales so-called war stocks such as aircraft issues. chemicals, gteelS. and metals of ali classes rose from fractions to 2 points. The market generally was higher but traders were cautiously awaiting news from the Ethiopian front.
 At mid d.afternoon sudden selling developed in rails-bringing losses of 1 to more than points--and unsettled the list. But the decline could not be extended, trading quieted and war stocks held gains of fractions to more than 3 points. This reflected trading in other world senters which included:
 London stock market-munitions shares sharply higher.
 Paris bourse-Prices firm.
 Bombay stock exchange-Indus- trials higher. Insurance and ship ping rates increased.
 Chicago grains--Wheat opened as much as 2 cents q bushel lower then rallied to show gains.
 New York cotton - Opened slightly higher, dipped to around the previous close and then started climbing again.
 Meanwhile world currencies de- clined in relation to the dollar and additional new shipments of gold came into New York.
 Export copper reached 8.85 cents q pound, the best since July 21, 1893, when 1t was the same price.
 New York, Oct. 4--(UP)-Auto- rNobile and auto equipment shares featured Q further rally on the stock exchange today. The market opened higher, extended gains to 2 points, turned dull and held steady at the higher levels.
 The so-called war stocks were strong although dull. Air Reduc- ton rose to 147 IA up 2 IA; AL lied Chemical 186 up 1; Du Pont 129 up 1-2; Monsanta Chemical % uV | A-T huu OHpH NNI Dluo Vo 5-8 up 1. Most of these companies produce items of war and hence there was interest in their rise. Volume was small, however, and not all of the gains was held.
 Airplane issues were strong un- der the leadership of United Air craft and Douglas, the latter rising to 31 Is up 3-8. These issues also were quiet. On moderate vol ume Electric Boat firmed 1-2 to 9 3-4 and held most of the gain. Copper shares were fairly active and higher. SteeIs were up frac- tions to more than point.
 Heaviest dealings were in Gen. eral Motors, ChrysIer and Hayes Body, the latter making a new high for the year. The automobile issues had fractional gains. Farm equipments were bid up. Rails had small gains. .
 New York, Oct 4-(UP)-War stocks--chemicals, steels, coppers, aviations--led a further advance in an active opening on the stock ex- change today. Gains ranged to more than q point on blocks of 1000 to 2,000 shares of punched orders.

 SHOWING UP
 IN AAA MOVE
By HERBERT HUMMER

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Political insiders sense a neat bit of strategy in the move of the AAA officials offering four-year production con- tracts to farmers before the Supreme Court rules on the legality Of the pso.essing tax.
 Refuzal of the court to hear argu- ments on the Hoosac Mills case until ra-ember g makes 1t highly imp.co- able that a decision win be had on the p1e 7a1t method of collecting pro- cess ing taxes until in January, 1886 at the earli st.
 Meanwhile four year contracts. su' ject t3 certain rights of termina- tia. a-e seing offered wheat and rys faimsr'. Tobacco farmers nave t-en e. wi, be offered similar con tracts. Like proposals will be submit ted to cotton and corn-hog farmers under present plans.
 In all, AAA officials would like to sec some 3.0O0,0O0 individual farm CTS sign on the dotted line as quick ly as possible, agreeing to gauge their production of various crops to the control program
 A Powerful Weapon
 The reason, say those on the in side, is that AAA officials figure with this many signed contracts in hand they will have a powerful weapon with which to deal with Con- greSs in the event the Supreme Court decides the processing taxes are un- con nstitutional.
 The Administration has insisted all along that should the court rule against the government in the Hoo- sac Mills case, Congress would have to find new taxes to replace the com mitments already made by the gov ernment to the cotton, corn-hog, rye, wheat, tobacco, peanut, and sugar farmers.
 The huge favorable majority rolled up by corn-hog farmers for extension Of contracts has encouraged AAA of ficials to push forward with their plans.
 Budget Preparations
 Refusal of the Supreme Court to grant the request Of the government for hearing arguments on the Hoosac Mills case on November 20 promises to make the job of preparing the budget for the coming fiscal year one of considerable doubt and uncer- tainty.
 It is customary for the presiden to submit his budget message to Con. gress immediately after he deliver his message on the state of the union In all probability, this budget mes sage will be in the hands of Congress before the Supreme Court acts oi the processing taxes.
 President Roosevelt. in declarin, that he was relying on the continua tion of the processing levies. estimat ed there would be S670,000 900 in crease in revenues during the currea fiscal year An adverse ruling by tn court not only would upset his pre- dict.on. but necessitate drastic re visions in the budget itself

JUNGE APPOINTED CHAIRMAN ANNUAL
 FEREMEN'S DANCE

At the regular monthly meeting of the Juneau Fire Department in the Fire Hall last night, Kenneth Junge was appointed General Chair man in charge of committees and arrangements for the Firemen's Annual Dance to be held on Feb ruary 12.
 J. L. Gray. Chairman of the Firemen's Boy Scouts Committee, reported that banquet was given in the Fire Hall for the Boy Scout troop sponsored by the Bremen, on Armistice Day, and that during the course of the dinner two fire alarms were sounded resulting in the firemen leaving the entertain ment. The second alarm which oc- cured near the close of the dinner, called the fire department to the serious Boynton Apartments fire on Willoughby Avenue, Upon their return to the Fire Hall after a con- siderable absence, the firemen were pleased to discover that the Boy Scouts had done their good turn for that day by washing the dishes.
 Minard Mill reported that there will be a first aid drill at the Fire Hall on December at 7:30 pm.
 A new fire hydrant has been in- stalled near the center of the In- dian Village, it was reported. The usual refreshments were served.

cific scored touchdown on an end run and Kept Us from winning.
 Handicapped by Breaks
 With the exception of the College of Puget Sound game. our others this season were 50 close that with any breaks at all we should have wen. The largest score against us was IA to O."
 The breaks were against Albany off the field as well as in the games.
 To begin with, a two-year lettered sackle counted upon failed to re- turn.
 Then Jce Ts-cheria, all conference enter and defensive key. developed carbuncle which became infected and narly cost his life.
 Three teammates gave two blood transfusicns each to win the big gest battle Albany faced all year the battle for Tercheria's life. Ter cheril apparently is out of danger now, and is still ambitious to become football coach.
 Cther injuries were not numerous but the loss of one or two regulars makes q Eefisas gap in squad nun ooring only %.
 Tic A bany line averages 174 pounds and the backfield 160. Until it's victorious game, Albany always was outxeighed Is to 20 pounds a man.
 A Players Testimonial
 Despite the handicaps, don't believe that in any ball game have we ever thought it hopeless to win" says the coach.
 When Albany finally tied game and then went on to win it's next encounter, there was one person happier even that Coach Mack. He is Jack Nichols, veteran guard who played in each of the 28 defeats over 3 four-year period and was one who gave blood transfusions to his team mate.
 Was he disil1usioned with football? Let Nichols answer.
 Football at Albany has proven valuable asset to me. The most inn portant factor was not to win, but in playing the game, and to build character and spirit which will carry ne on in lifes struggle.
 Tt hasn't been pleasant to play Tn thc-e losing games, yet I feel that the bitter must be taken with the sweet in all walks of life.
 And was it thrill to finally break that losing streak!'

LOSING TWENTY EIGHT GAMES IS
 DIFFICULT TASK
Hard Luck of Albany Col lege on Grid Is Not
 Disheartening
By JAMES S. NUTTER

ALBANY, Ore, Dec. 6.-After los ing it's 2Sth con 5ecutive football game and assuming the national loser championship this season, Albany college still wasn't licked.
 The unwilling heroes of defeat retained their spirit and the alumn were patiently silent.
 The Alpany Plratos finally saiied 1ut of the morass with l9-0 win ever Pacific College of Newberg, Ore gon. But that was not until a week fter homecoming. Returning grads sviawed string of 28 consecutive lefeats followed by half-satisfying 7-7 tie.
 Hackers Are Sympathetic
 Yet. if there were any wolves" they were effectually muzzled, for not one snapped at the heels of Coach Joey Mack, whose teams had never won a football game.
 The student body was solidly be- hind Coacn Mack, and the gradu- ates agreed he had done well, talk ing into account the handieaps he faced
 Inztead of bowling the alumni authorized a committee to cooper ate in a campaign to attract more football players and other students to the college whose enrolment is only 166.
 Beating Knox and Hobart colleges put for the national defeat cham pionship' was no easy job, any way you look at it.
 We had two very close calls this year" Coach Mack explains.
 The first one was against College 0f Idaho when we scored two touch towns, but one was not allowed Even shen We were leading to with ten minutes to play, but single long run beat us.
 Tn the Pacific university game Ne were leading to 0 with Is seconds eft to play. After we held for three towns within the six yard line. Pa

years of the old century. changed all
that.
Twas in Paris In 1900-at the
World Exposition-that recognition
first came to George Shiras, Sd, for his
indefatigable work in a new field
fiashlight photography in the animal
kingdom.
The United States Government, pre-
pairing to exhibit at the exposition,
officially asked permission to exhibit
enlarged sets of the Shiras photo
graphs. This done, they drew the
highest award available in the forestry
division-though they were not ofii-
cially entered in any contest. Yet
gold medal and diploma were bestowed
for the unique work. Four years later,
at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
at st. Louis, the Shiras photographs
of wild life received the grand prize.
GHORTLY after that George Shiras,
~ Sd, walked into the offices Of the
National Geographic Society one day
with batch of photographs under his
arm and a manuscript accompanying
them. These he laid on the desk of
DR.. Gilbert Grosvenor, president Of the
society. Thus began the publication
of writings and illustrations that now
find themselves between the boards Of
beautifully bound books
Ever since his first article appeared
in the National Geographic Magazine
George Shiras. Sd, has been the star
reporter of social. economic, political
and other activities in the realm Of
wild life

Paralyzer Aids Sugar.

CERTAIN strains of sugar cane
plant are believed to generate a
substance, referred to as q paralyzer
which seems to have the effect of kill
ing of the mosaic disease at one
time nenacing the entire sugar cane
industry in this country.
The damage from mosaic attacks
caused damage estimated at $780,
100000 during the 10-year period
starting in 1919. Extensive expert
ments were conducted to determine
some method of controlling the disease
and during the course of the tests
the new paralyser was discovered.
Mosaic infection has been reduced
in experiments by the United States
Department Of Agriculture by mixing
juice extracted from healthy tissues
near the tip Of the cane stalk with
virus from diseased portions and then
inoculating plants with the mixture.
According to DR.. e. w. Brendes and
DR.. Julius Matz, this tends to show
that the protective substance probably
Is generated near the tip Of the stalk,
and also that there are variations in
the effectiveness Of virus taken from
different parts Of the stalk.
