COTTON HOLDS
EARLYGA|NS

NEW YORK, Feb. 10 0N.S0.
The cotton market held on to
moderate gains established at the
opening although easiness de-
veloped in the July contract.
Steady Liverpool cables and
strong securities markets aided
sentiment somewhat. Trading de-
creased somewhat after the open
ing call.
Hedging developed in moderate
volume, tending to restrain the
market. The trade, Wall Street
and the ring were the principal
buyers with Liverpool also taking
the staple in moderate quantities.
The South, spot houses and locals
sold as did the Far East.
The July contract, which ad-
vanced yesterday in the face Of q
moderate decline in other months
was without much support today
and a moderate profit taking
movement held the month in
check.
Prices continued to hold in a
narrow range towards noon.
March was quoted at 11.36, up 4;
May 1894, UP 2; July 1884, un-
changed, and october 1925, up S
points.

MAY WHEAT Is
INDEMAND

CHICAGO Feb. 10. G.NSO.
A reversal of the downward trend
at Liverpool helped wheat prices
here today. May wheat was in
good demand and firm on the
local exchange, but deferred
months had difficulty in holding
gains because Of more favorable
crop news. Il
Corn and other grains hovered
around the previous closing level
in slow trading.
Near mid-Season wheat here was
unchanged to 5sc up with May
showing the gain, selling at 9814c.
Corn was 1sc down to Zee up, oats
unchanged to 1sc up and rye hc
up. -.. .
Liverpool wheat was 20 to. "a
pence up in late trading. Winnipeg
failed to show much response to
the upturn at Liverpool and this
proved somewhat discouraging to
bulliSh interests here.
Winnipeg wheat was Zee down to
bc up at mid-Season. Kansas City
and Minneapolis were firm.

declares: He has no feel for a car
whatsoever" Every time he takes one
out he comes back with something
wrong. He can do more damage than
any other driver in the team. And
that's what makes him so valuable.
He represents a certain type Of

who always has something wrong with
his car. whose auto passes half its
time in the repair shop. He let's his
clutch in hard, jams down on the &C

more trouble than a dozen novices.

through their PAGES are used in prefer

"Our experience, +" says N. E. Wahl-
berg. vice-president in charge of en-
gineering. has shown that specially
designed machines can test cars more
quickly and more accurately than
actual road runs"
While these runs are still used as
proving grounds for all new Nash and
Lafayette cars. the testing machines
play a more vital part in showing up
any possible weakness.
Principal among these machines is
the Magic Carpet" New Nash cars
are placed on this device and tried out
for hours at time. They get a shak-

ever why American cars have swept

Henry Ford gave visitors to the
Chicago Worlds Fair an opportunity
to see what a motor proving ground is
actually like. 1t was one of the ex-
ceedingly interesting spectacles of that
Fair. For there, in comparatively
limited space, was a complete repro
duction of such proving ground. It..
was a remarkable example of road en-
gineering skill. The amount of ground
available was of necessity miniature
by comparison with the original. But
in that limited space the Ford en-
gineers had built facsimiles of every
conceivable kind of road over which
car can be. upon emergency. driven.
And there. the visitors to the Fair
saw test drivers putting the Fords

NEARLY LOST THE BALL

George M. Varnell, veteran Pa cific Coast Conference official, goes back long way to recall an un- usual football incident.
 This is one of the queerest hap pen ngs I have ever seen in foot ball. I don't remember exactly who was playing Willamette Uni versity but I think it was Oregon State College Varnell recalls.
 "The game was hack in 1909 at Salem, Ore, in the days when only one football was brought out for competition and not a very good one at that.
 Shortly after the battle started Willamette's opponents were forced to punt in Willamettes territory. The ball sailed over the goal line and into mill-race.
 Here we were without foot ball to finish the game, and at the same time I wasn't sure as to what the rule should be on the play as the pigskin had not touched the ground.

Manufacturers
 Stress Quality

NEW YORK, Oct. 29. = Quality construction" will be emphasized in 30 displays and housing shows to be held in various parts of the country during the coming year by the Manufacturers ousing Promotion Council. The group was organized by leading manufacturers of building materials to conduct a nationwide campaign for better housing.
 Russell G. Creviston of the Crane Company, chairman of the council, praised the work of the Federal Housing Administration in setting up higher standards of land use and building construction. He said that he thought a large measure of responsibility rested with the manufacturers to see that these standards are understood by the public and applied by developers and builders
 The council has tentative plans for a series of model homes to be erected with the cooperation of the American Institute of Architects and builders organizations Accord ing to present plans. local builders and architects will participate in each exhibit.
 Travelling displays will be used for the housing shows. Motor car avans are being considered for reaching the smaller communities.

SPORT SLANTS

Sensational or emergency touch down plays in the last minute of play seldom win football games, in the opinion of Coach Ike J. Arm strong of Utah University.
 The plays your team uses many t-mes in every game are the ones most likely to result in ground gaining as the boys know all the fundamentals of off-tackle smash es, center bucks and around end lIuns,' comments the Ute mentor
 Few if any of the players are thoroughly versed in freak or sen sational plays and the odds are against completion of such plays, despite the fact they may have been tried many times in practice. " X Armstrong points out it is prac- tice that makes perfect and a coach can hardly expect his boys to perform unusual or freak plays in an emergency that calls for a touchdown to win.
 Impossible or emergency plays with one or two minutes to go sometimes win ball games, but usu- ally result in loss of time and fre- quently bring penalties Coach Armstrong declares.
 SCORES AND DOESN'T KNOW TT
 He recalls, however, that an un- conscious player once scored Utahs winning touchdown in bitter game which virtually decided the Rocky Mountain conference title.
 Utah was playing Colorado Col lege at Salt Lake City in 1928. The Utes, favorites to win, trailed at the half, IA to 2. They rallied to score two touchdowns in the third per- iod, but the Tigers also tallied and the final period began 2120 for C. c. Utah pounded it's way to the c. c. 20-yard line. Ralph Good win, halfback, plunged into the line and was injured, but said nothing. The center snapped the ball to Goodwin on the next play and the halfback romped through the entire Tiger team to score the winning touchdown. He began to stagger
