its regular meeting, Monday eve
ming.

the increase some time ago but
this is the first positive action the
board has taken on the ia2t,cf.

chase 100 new folding chairs for
use by the band and other school
organizations and to have the

Monarchs Blast
Carey, 64-47,
In League Game
Offensive Performance
Is Best to Date:
Reserves Easy Winners

Marysville High Schools bask
etball team furthered it's defense
of the Mid-Sta League champ
ionship Tuesday evening with a
64-47 victory over Carey.
Coach Warren Widner was
pleased with his teams perform
ance although he admitted they
were not up to par defensively in
allowing the twice-beaten Blue
Devils to score AZ points.
Carey used 2-l-2 zone de
fense throughout the game until
late in the fourth quarter when
Marysville began bisecting it and
they switched to man to man.
The Monarchs offensive perform
ance was probably equal to that
of last years district champs.
As against Redwood, McCrack-
en- and Dayton were under the
basket and both got a good many
shots as the box score will testI-
! fly. The floor play of Loren
Grimes was also commended by
! Coach Widner.
Against Plain City, it was the
second quarter that wrecked the
Monarch's chances when the
Scotties outscored them liz. It
was this same second period that
gave Marysville its lead over
Carey as the Monarchs hit for 81
points to Carey's 8.
CareY's Best. Too
In losing, the Blue Devils gave
their best offensive performance
to date. Berardinelli, a forward,
continued as their leading scorer
as he dumped in II points. He
was followed by Risner, center,
and Straham, guard, who got 10
points each before they went out
on fouls.
The Monarch win was all the
more impressive in view of the
fact that Mt Gilead, considered
as one of the strongest teams in
the league, defeated Carey by on
ly four points, 1881. on their
own floor.
Marysville meets Marion St.
Mary Thursday night in another
league outing. This Irish team,
like the Monarchs, has lost much
of its former power but is still
dangerous. A forward named
Merchant is their leading scorer.
The Monarch reserve team also
won over Carey but With far less
trouble. Marysville took an 11-0
lead in the first quarter and in
creased it to 24-3 at halftlme end
ALL by the end Of the game.
Smedley Hendricks hit for 10

NEW YORK, July 19.-Heavy
selling battered the stock market
again today after the sharpest set
back last week in more than a year.
The foreign news was rated as a
decisive factor.
Leading issues plunged ! to 10
points. Selling orders streamed
into the floor of the exchange so
rapidly that several times the ticker
tape couldn't keep up with actual
transactions.
Hardest hit were stocks that en-
joyed the greatest popularity during
the markets spring-summer ad-
vance.
Toward midday little more sta
bility developed but this represented
more let-up in the morning SELL
ing rush rather than a revival of
demand.
Trading during the first two hours
alone totaled more than one million
shares. Later, though, activity
slackened.
Among the weakest issues were
Skelly OF, Gulf Oil, Standard Oil
New Jersey, Union Pacific, South
ern Railway, United States Steel,
Youngstown Sheet, General Motors,
Firestone Tire, Western Union, Ana
conda Copper, General Electric,
Radio Corp, and Santa Fe.

priced issue, cracked 10 points at
one time.

.AppareI Makers Drop
Items Priced Above

By J. B. WoIIoch

NEW YORK, July 19.-Apparel
manufacturers, dismayed by fabric
costs that are meeting stubborn re-
sistance in end products, are show
ing an increasing inclination to
drop numbers from their lines
rather than assume what they con-
slider to be prohibitive risks in tex
tile commitments.
Unconvinced that adequate vol
ume any longer is available in goods
that have been priced out of wide
areas of their markets by imitation
ary pressures, garment makers are
planning to concentrate production
on more acceptably priced mer-
chandise to meet inSiStent retailer
and consumer demands.
Numbers dropped because Of ex-
cesSive fabric cost, it is believed by
some traders, will not actually low

items been encountering diminish

yielding shrinking margins at whole
sale levels.
Over the past several days, re-
tailers have been supporting some
segments of the apparel trades in
this attitude by urging that they re-
turn as nearly as possible to the
price ranges with which they were
favorably identified before inf1ation-
ary tides swept them to perilously
high levels.
In this connection, it may be
added, labor will be afforded a full
opportunity to demonstrate the sin
cerity of its will to lower prices by
making the adjustments necessary
to enable cutters to descend from
ranges that at present mean less
employment as well as business
losses.
Textile prices have reached points
which discourage forward commit
