Care Of Trees Up

chamber of commerce secretary
said that letter from the chamber
to the council pointed out the
danger to trees which now stand
in front of vacant lots and under
the new setup would be neglected
City officials were endeavoring to
work out some plan whereby these
could be cared for.
Under the new plan, hometown
ers would be expected to level the
parkway in front of their own
homes and take care of sprinkling
At present, irrigation bitches run
the length of most parkings and
water is turned in every week In
summer and every three weeks, ap-
proximately, in winter. This re-
quires the work of two men in
summer time and one in the winter
Trees extend over approximately II
miles of street parking.
At present the police chain gang
crew is used to clean out the bitches
about twice a year. Knights sale
this is hardly sufficient to keer
the parkways in proper condition
but pointed out that it would take
a tremendous staff of gardeners tt
do the work correctly.
City crews will continue to prunt
and care for the trees in all way
except watering.

shells. including a carry-over OF
254 900 900 bushels. Domestic con-
sumption this year was estimated
at sos 100000 bushels, leaving 1885,
100000 bushels for export and car
ry-ove.r
the department said that pros
pective demand for Wt,eat and
availability of transport facilities
are not sufficiently clear to indi-
cate probable world movement of
wheat. World shipments are not,
however, expected to differ greatly
from last years total of 600,0OO,0OO
bushels, officials said.
No considerable reduction In
1910 wheat acreage in Europe is
expected, officials said. Declines IN
paintings in the area of military
operations probably will be offset
by increases in other areas and IN
neutral countries.
Officials do not expect any con-
siderable increase, at least not FOR
year or more, in European de-
mand for American wheat because
of the large supplies and acreage
in the countries now at war. The
present situation, they said, Is not
similar to that which resulted In
$3.50 a bushel wheat during the
last war.
Wheat supplies in the United
states are about the same as In
1914, but the world supplies are
1000, 100000 bushels larger, the de-
partment said. Stocks of importing
countries are very large" now
compared with normal 25 years
ago, it was said.

Film TecElnicians
Win 10Per Cent
Boost in Salary

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 26. CUP)-
Hollywood movie producers raised
their technicians wages an esti-
mated 100000 a year today in
order to avert a strike that might
have closed every studio in town
and darkened every film theater
in the country by nightfall
The 10 per cent boost in the SAL
airy of $4,000 workers was obtained
by the International Alliance OF
Theatrical stage employees after a
conference with leading producers
that lasted from 10 o'clock last
evening until nearly this morn
ing.
William Bioff, union represen-
tative. gave the studios until noon
today to agree to a 20 per cent
boost or face a strike of the alli-
ahce's members throughout the
country. This would have paralyz-
ed the studios by calling out all
cameramen, grips, laboratory
workers and other technicians.
Projectionists would have quit in
ali movie theaters.
Producers countered with an Of
fer of per cent boost, and both
sides compromised on 10 per cent.
retroactive to August IL. Demands
for improved hours and other
working conditions will be negotl-
ated.
