will to open the annual amateur
Carnival of Knuckle Throwing,
the fifth rendition of the Wash

tournament, novice class, at Tur-
ner's Arena, last night.
Twelve hundred people, rec
ord opening night attendance
braved a heavy downpour to sit in
on the show. And they went away
satisfied. .
The card was featured with five
technical kayoes and the ring was
hlanketed wit a shower of flying
leather, which whizzed in every dl-
rection, including the right one
occasionally.

in one of the two 147-pound
clashes.
Both slugged it out tooth-and-
nail in the first two rounds and
were too tired to do much in the
third. The decision to Zones was
rounGly booed, but connoiSseurs OF
things fistic conceded that Zones
experience had given him a slight
edge.

PITT ACTIVE
NJ TAwT0N CARVER.

NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-For the
second straight week the rebel yell
of Dixieland will ring in the ears
of the Fordham Rams on Satur'
day and there is strong possibility
that the RamS-one Of the current
stalwartS of the EaSt-w1u go
down to their first defeat OF the
season, although the betting won't
be that way.
Having been held to a Scoreless
deadlock by Pitt apd to a 7-to-6
victory by Texas Christian last
Saturday, the Rams this time
leave home and move to Chapel
Hill to take on North Carolina.
The situation is made to order
for an upset.
The Rams looked none too hot
against Pitt and Texas Christian
in their only major contests 20
date, and in the Tar Heels they
tackle one of the South'S best-an
eleven which has whipped Tulane,
among others, since being tied in
the first start of the season. The
Change in climate won't figure to
do the Rams too much good,
either.
SHARE SPOTLIGHT
The Fordham North Carolina
tussle will share the spotlight in
the South with such fixtures as
indicated Vanderbilt against
Georgia Tech, undefeated Ala
bama against Kentucky, and I'M
beaten but tied Duke against
Washington and Lee.
Clearly the outstanding Strug-
gle in the east will bring together
the unbeaten and united elevenS
of Dartmouth and Yale.
This game will test the respec'
tive ability of Yale's Clint Frank
and Dartmouth'S Bill Hutchinson,
two of the greatest backs to flash
across eastern football in years.
Frank has led Yale to II points
against IA in games with tough
opponents, barring the season
opener, while Hutchinson has been
the sparkplug in Dartmouth'S 173
point attack against a mixture OF
major and minor foes. The oppo
sition has been held to nine points

Commodity Price
Changes for Week
By A. A, PATTON,

l tAbootiabcd EAceS otutissiciaAJ
NEW YORK, Oct. 3o.-Commodity
prices crashed to the lowest level'
since October, 1896, this week; with
practically every major category
chalking up new low for the year.
The precipitous decline of the past
three months has erased IL per cent
of the average price Of the IS staples
making up the Associated Press
weighted index of wholesale spot quo-
tations.
The. index fell this week to a0.89
per cent of the 1926 average from
82.09 a week ago and compared with
8091 last year.
Although prices rallied fractionally
at the close Of the period, recessions
outweighed gains three to one. The
only individual group that didn't fall
behind last year was live stock.
Metals were among the heaviest
losers, continuing pace that has been
evident for almost two months Nom
ferrous metals have fallen 16 per cent
in the last six weeks. Steel scrap,
copper. zinc, antimony and tin all
suffered price slashes this week.
Many Inventories Large.
Underlying the long period Of liqui-
dation, analysts said, has been the
unwillingness of industrial consumers
to make commitments. The tempo of
industry has slid steadily lower in
recent months, but even more impor-
tant has been the bloated condition
of many inventories.
Other industrial staples, including
rubber, turpentine and bituminous
coal, weakened. Lumber and burlap
on the other hand, managed to exc
out small upturn.
Farm commodities plunged lower as
probable harvests loomed larger and
prospective demand-tied up with the
pace of industry-looked smaller. Cot
ton, for instance, dipped as unofficial
estimates of this years harvest were
raised to the highest level ever re-
corded and cotton men forecast .
somewhat reouceo consumption.
Grains Also Down.
Grains were also marked down:
Corn, wheat and oats more than off,
setting minor upturn in rye.
Live stock has shown a consistently
downward trend since the middle of
September. Packers pointed out larger
supplies Of fatter animals have been
reaching the various markets in recent
weeks. Hogs, cattle and lamb Joined
in the reaction.
Although mixed, food prices were
carried down by heavily weighted flour
and lard. Eggs and cocoa were up a
notch.

based on 1926 as 100, compared as

NOT swAYEp BY PROPAGANDA

eve need more newspaper men who are insuiat-
ed against every kind of propaganda pressure, for
there never more propaganda loose in this
world than there is today" J. H. Furay vice presi-
dent of the United Press told Sigma Delta Chi
celebration in Des Moines.
"The reporter is exposed to all sorts of influ-
epces, from the grossest bulldozng to the most
subtle persuasion. Around every issue nowadays
there spring up groups which have come to be So
called pressure groups, one of whose prime objec-
tiyes invariably is to gain a favorable press"
Every newspaper in the country is target for
propagandists in person and by mail. One OF the
devices is to say that everybody is interested and
that failure to publish without abridgment is sure
to cause criticism. Some of the propagandists try
to claim some sort of right to have their matter
published at the expense of the publisher They try
to deny publisher a right to say what goes into
his newspaper.
1t is to the credit of the American press that
propagandists have not taken possession of it. No
propagandsts are more subtle than those in service
of the federal government. If all the matter they
submit should be published there would be no
space for news items for advertising. Day after
day. every newspaper in the land is flooded with
typewriter and printed propaganda from govern
ment sources. ..
Ii IS an unfortunate conoiion Ihat some OF the
government propagandsts are intolerant Time is
when they seem to threaten, They talk Of patriot
ism and patriotic motives, but they grow impatient
if they are asked whether they accept remunera-
ton for their services.
But the government supplies only part, if a
predominant part of this flood of propaganda.
There are many sorts of propaganda mills and they
grind every day in the week and every week in the
year. Most of them after free advertising. The
word publicity is one of the most oyerworked in
the, American version Of the English language.
If their newspapers should be swayed by propa-
gandsts their readers would not know what was
really going forward in the United States; they
would know only what the propagandists want
them to know. If freedom of the American press
should be abolished, the American people would be
deluged with the quality of propaganda which fills
the newspapers of Italy, Russia and Germany to
the exclusion of untainted Charleston News
and Courier.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
why RECOVERY, EAGS

1.-THE failure of building to recover in large
measure accounts for the tagging of recovery shown
by railroad freight loadings, for the continuance
of unemployment apd for the assumed or real ne
cessity for continued large relief expenditures.
Most buildings, including residential buildings, are
erected as an investment The government for
four years has been following policies calculated
unduly to increase the labor costs both of building
materials and of construction work At the same
time it has been following policies tending to cur
tail and make uncertains returns on all invest
ments These efforts of the government to help
labor and especially the so-caed underprivileged'
are largely responsible for increases in construc
ton costs and lack Of confidence in investments
that have prevented full revival of both residential
and non-residental building.
"The slow progress of recovery has been prin-
cipally due to economically unSound policies in
tended to change the distribution of wealth and in
come, the proponents of which have disregarded
the seemingly obvious facts that the volume of
production and construction determines the amount
of wealth and income available for distribution,
and that there can be no real recovery from de-
preston that is not based on complete recovery of
production and construction.
"The principal fallacy of their theory is its dis
regard of the vitality important fact that large
part of the buying necessary to afford full employ
ment and cause maximum production and construc-
ton is done through the investment of capital; and
that policies as respects wages working hours, tax
alton and the currency which unduly increase costs
of production and construction and prevent con-
fdence in future profits inevitably hinder the in
vestment of capital.
"Whie business in general is still improving it
should be emphasized that recovery during the last
four years has been very slow and unsatisfactory
as measured by experience following previous de-
pressons and that if the country ever is to attain
the prosperity that it should there will have to be
adopted policies that will afford more opportunity
and encouragement to the increased investment OF
capital essential to needed engagements of produc
ton and construction" -Railway Age.
