II the Merchants can hit their stride
they may have a chance to 60
places.
A shakeup in the lineup would
not hurt the local team. A change
surely won't cause the FL Centre
team to lose more consistently ano
there is a chance that a change Of
faces on the roster would help,
The batters have been hitting
fairly well in most Of the games eX-
cept in pinches. When runs to win
a ball game are needed the stickers
stand at the plate and cut like the
Old Ladies Home All Stars.
Several of the leading batters in
the FL Centro commercial league are
not included on the El Centro roster
1t is time that the softball moguls
realize that these players will not
come around begging to play on the
Valley league team but if asked to
play would undoubtedly be glad to
take part.
In order 10 have a ball team that

to chuck both game each week ano

Negro at 2:29 Of the 18th round.
They were scheduled to fight is

suffered such a beating from the
30-year old Max that his handlers
had to carry him from the ring.

went to doom instead.
The Knockout had been expected
after the fourth round when Make

from a backward crouch and smash

more rights to the same spot put
Joe< down on the canvas in that
fourth round for the first time in
his professional career.
Louis never completely recovered
from those triphammer smashes in
the fourth. And he took only one
round thereafter, as Make ham
mered and hammered his cupid
face until the left side was puffed
and distorted like a brown balloon.
End Comes
So the end came in the 18th.
when the grim -visaged Schmeling
whirled out of a clinch, and smash
ed Joe with right and left hooks
to the chin. He battered Louis
staggering on rubber legs-into a
corner and smashed him to the
head. They clinched and moved
to mid-ring. Then Make landed
five hard right smashes to the
reeling bomber's chin. and Joe wilt
ed to the floor. He came down
on his knees, and keeled over on
his stomach, holding his head sort
of up on one elbow. He was trying
futiley to rise as the count went
on. He had given game show
despite two fouls called against
him-but he had met a better man.
Make did little damage with his

scoffed so much in training. But

Miners of iron ore and coal. and
limestone quarrymen were deprived
of $1,500,000 in wages, it is
estimated, while employees of rail-
road and ore carrying steamship
companies lost approximately ST.

AS a result of the higher wages
paid to steel employees in this
country, and the prevailing low
rates of import duties, ranging as
much as 81 per cent below those
imposed by principal steel-making
countries of Europe, foreign-made

state in favor OF the economic state
under a personal dictatorship had
been forecast for a long time. The
so-called naturalization of indus
tries was not. But this feature of
Mr. Mussolinis latest adventure
needs to be clarified.
TT must be understood that
n Italian industry and the general
economic situation have been in a
very bad way for some time. 1t
must also be understood that it
has been exceedingly difficult to
finance industry. The Italian gov
eminent, like the American govern
ment, has been handling a serious
economic emergency on borrowed
funds.
And while the amount involved
seems not so large as here. it is
in fact because of the lower values
and greater poverty Of the country,
very much larger. Credit for priv
ate industry has been at low ebb
The government has been using
bank credit and thus drawing slow
ly near to the exhaustion of its
own credit. At the same time,
under such circumstances, private
credit has been almost dried up.
n n II
WHEREFORE Italy has had an
Il institution like our RFC to
finance those industries which
have been essential to its war eff
forts. AS a result the government
already either owns the stock or
controls the stock of many such
large industries.
The whole move suggests that
the economic situation in Italy has
moved into state of crisis and
that MuSsolini has chosen this mo-
ment to set up his cooperative
state and take over actual control
Of certain heavily state Enhanced
industries as the best means of
averting the crisis.
We have not yet heard the end
OF this episode No one who has
followed the course of economic
events in Italy can believe other
than that Mussolini faces one of
the most serious tests of his career.

NEW YORK, March 31.--Every
employe OF the stee, industry was
deprived of an average of about sic
in wages during 1885 as result
of sharply increased imports of iron
and steel from foreign countries,
the American Iron and Steel In
stitute calculated today from re-
ports published by the Department
of Commerce and Labor.
Additional losses in pay were also
suffered by employees of mining and
transportation companies engaged
in supplying the steel industry with
raw materials.
During 1885 a total of 405. 221
gross tons of foreign made iron and
steel products were admitted into
this country-a 40 per cent increase
over 1884 imports of 272,36 gross
tons. The volume of iron and steel
exports, however, exclusive of scrap
which is not commonly sold by the
steel industry. declined about per
cent from 1884.
Completes With u. S. Products
Almost the entire tonnage of i'm
ported iron and steel completes di-
rectly with products regularly made
in this country. About SO per cent
Of the tonnage exported from this
country. however, is bought by ma
tons which either produce no steel
or are dependent on outside sources
for a large part of the steel required
to satisfy local demand
Approximately 13,414,000 man
hours of work-equivalent to $3.50
full-time jobs-would have been
required if the imported iron and
steel had been made in this coun-
try, it is estimated.
Total losses in the wages of
American workers are thus
estimated at SO, 500 900 at the aver
age wage rates prevailing in 1885.
Of this total, steel mill employees
would have received $6,700,0O0 or
about SIG for each employee at work
last year.

Spinal Meningitis at Five

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81. (UP)
Disease epidemics attributable to
one of the most severe winters OF
the century have caused stringent
guarantees affecting communi.
ties throughout the country.
The federal public health ser.

meningitis has reached its high
est prevalence in five years as two
Virginia towns and surrounding
mine country. ordered rigid quar-.
antines.
Influenza, pneumonia n d
mumps have forced universities
and schools in Mississippi, Texas
and Ohio to close.
Public health authorities do not
ascribe meningitis directly to the
severity Of the winter but pointed
out in warning residents of in
fected communities that the avoid
ance of cold is one of two cardi-
nal means of avoiding it. The
other is to avoid crowds.
Although influenza has wrought
many times more havoc than any
other disease, the federal author
tiles are most concerned about
meningitis for which only partial
ly defective treatments have been
devised.
There have been 2,143 cases
since January 1. Tennessee had

South Carolina 10.
