STANDARD TARE WEIGHT 21 LBS. COTTON CONFERENCE AGREES UPON BTANDARDIZA * TION. Washington.—Tare limited to 21 pounds composed of bagging weighing two pounds a yard and ties weighing 46 pound* per bundle, including buck les, was adopted as standard cover ing for cotton bales at the gin by cotton shippors and bagging manufac turers In conference at the depart ment of agriculture. This action is regarded as a definite atep In the direction toward dealing In cotton on net weight basis Instead of the present gross weight and Is the result of agitation for the improve ment of the quality and appearance of the American cotton bale in Inter national trade. As a result, an effort •will be made by tho department to have this type bale adopted as stan dard for all of the cotton exchange* of the world. At present tho tare tn this country ranges from 18 pounds In California to 30 pounds in Goorgla qnrt South Carolina, and a score of different type materials are used for bale covering. To assure the use of the standard material, tho manufacturers agreed not to manufacture any other kind of material for stofck after 1925. The question for patches for the bale was not settled. The shippers summed up their case as follows: The shippers are seeking a patch that is large enough to cover the sam ple holes, say between 22 to 30 by 40 to 48 inches, weighing from J to I 1-2 pounds, which has a sufficent durabil ity to stand the strain of compression and which has a surface capable of taking and holding markings, and which can be bought at a jre*»onable pile*. r . The manufacturers contended: "The supply of material Is an Im portant factor and there is a question as to whether a patch' described by the shippers can be manufacture/! with sufficient strength at a reasonable price and several manufacturers ex pressed a willingness to make sam ples and submit them to the cotton commute* la the department of agri culture with -which to experiment." J. M. Locke, chairman of the tare committee of the Amerlcsdl Cotton Shipper*, association ,of Muskogee, Okla., told the committee that be cause of the lack of a standard tare. Importers and mills In Europe had to sample the bale to determine the tare and It was estimated that the samp ling cost $500,000 annually. - Ford Open* Nsw Bank.

Shreveport, La. —Combined net earn ings of the Standard Oil compnay of New Jersey and its subsidiaries in 11)24 totaled $81,016,570, an Increase of nearly f25,000,000 over 1923, Chair man A. C. Bedford announced In his annual report to stockholders. SaUfs of petroleum products during the year, he said, were the largest in volume in the company's history, and were reflected in an expansion of more than $42000.000 in gross income ' to a total of $409,995,806. * ! After the payment of $13,998,103 in preferred dividends, the company's earnings were equivalent td\ $3.30, or 12.2 per cent on the common shares, compared with $2.10 per share earned in 1923. "Results of te Standard Oil com pany's natural "gas business and of subsidiaries engaged In collateral activities, Mr. Bedford explained, were In 1924, as In previous years, more satislfsctory thsn the results arising from the oil business itself. "Excessive competition, arising from of crude and the resnitant overaccumulatlon of finish ed products which hss caused many of these products to be forced upon th* msrket at prices below their value," he said, "has seriously mili tated against the prosperity of the petroleum Industry in the past tour years. Better results should attend our operations when the industry is relieved of this problem." Millions In Tsxes Paid By Tobacco. Washington. —Tobacco not only la a means tor recreation and enjoyment, but Is a major source of Income for the American farmer. Secretary Jar dine declared In a prepared address at the national convention of the To-1 bacco Merchants' assoclstlon. As a farm enterprise, he said, tobac co is exceeded only by corn, hay. cot ton. wheat and potatoes, and It has eif riched domestic agriculture by mil lions of dollars. In the last 0 years, he relsted, the area planted in tobac co Baa almost qusdrupled snd the eco nomic relationship of tobacco to American agriculture as increased proportionately as farming itself hss increased. "Tobacco production." he continued. "Is one of those agricultural enter prises which are extremely complicat ed. So far. largely because of their difficulty, relatively little progress has been made In the of th* prob lems of the tobacco producer In com parison with the economic importance of th* industry. "These problems must be solved if we are to be assured of the continu ance of tobacco production with profit and respond in the spirit of service more and more to the demands and needs of the country in this flald. "To solvj the problems neither the efforts of th* farmers themsel?** nor those coupled with th* efforts of th* department of sericulture will be suf ficient. What 1* necessary Is tor ail Interests Involved In this groat indus try to Join together with real cooper atlve spirit." Commissioner Blair of th* Internal revenue bureau, told the convention that tax collections this yaar from to bacco were estimated at $345.M0.0M. The production of cigarette* this year, h* added.

New York. —Conflicting business movements last wesk failed to obscure a general Improvement In sentiment based on fundamentally constructive developments. Downward price revlalon* and fur ther contraction of output In certain industries Indicated that the process of readjustment was by no means com pleted, of recovery were plainly visible in other fields. April exporta of merchandise, as re ported bytfhe department of com merce, were the largest for that month in five years, bringing the favorable trade balance to this country for the past ten months near the billion dollar mark. The showing was considered significant for several reasons, testi fying to the healthful growth of our foreign commerce in the face of natur al barriers and reflecting the economic recovery of Europe, which has been able to expand Its purchases of Ameri can goods. The general average of commodity prices last week showed a slight in crease for the first time in several months. Most of the gains were re corded by foodstuffs, while _ textiles were among the most conspicuous weak spots. Railroad freight traffic continued at unprecedented high levels. Car load ings for the week ended May 2 were close to a million cars, exceeding the volume of business for any previous week this year as well as correspond ing week of the last five years. A marked expansion took place in the movement of grain, coal, ore and gen eral merchandise. Prospects for an Increase in freight rates in the north west were believed to be good and were reflected In the strength of these roads' securities. Steel operations proceeded at about the same place as In recent weeks. A further moderate curtailment of pri mary production was reported but the lower price levels of iron and steel products appeared to be attracting freah buying orders. Structural steel was in good demand and railroad pur chases increased, with several unusu ally large equipment inquiries over hanging the market Prices of other metals were firmer, and the copper in dustry was cheered by the larger first quartet- earnings. Tims to Psy, is Word of U. S. Washington.—After more than three years of waiting, the United States government has initiated steps to ob tain funding settlements from its for eign debtors. The powers to whom this nation made war or post-war loans, have been made acquainted with American opin ion thai some move should be made by them toward liquidation. Although officials of this govern ment insisted thst they held no desire to press unduly for payments, they feel, and France. Italy, Belgium. Ru mania and Csecho-Slovakla have been so advised, the American govern ment is entitled to hava funding pro posals submitted. Th* other principal debtors, Jugo Slavla. Estonia. Latvia and Greece, are awake of the Washington view slso, but It wss not made clear wheth er American diplomatic officials in those countries have been asked to carry debt settlement Questions direct ly to them. Liquor Fl**t Driven Frfcm Coast. New York. —A semi-official observa tion crtisa over the Atlantic from Nsrrangansett Pier. R- I, to Atlantic City. N.

Detroit. —Henry Ford will purchase the 400 vessels of the United States shipping board if the government will fix what he considers a fair price: The announcement was made by Mr. Ford, following a conference with T. V. O'Connor, chairman of the ship ping board. O'Connor is quoted as asking Ford to take over 200 ships In his original suggestion. However, when Ford in formed him that he would only buy the ships to scrap them for junk, O'Connor suggested that he buy all 400, as it would not cost much more to construct dismantling apparatus to handle the 400 ships than it would th> lesser number. Font agreed to this, saying that he might retain from 10 to 30 of the ships for use by Ford industries. , If any ships were put in operation by Ford, they would be reconditioned and equipped aa oil burners the arti cle states. Despite the tentative agreement, the matter of the sale of the ships to Ford will not be cleared up for several months, it is estimated. The shipping board has been wary of making any agreement heretofore, as it felt if the ships were sold abroad to be scrapped, that promises might be broken and the ships might reappear uhder foreign flags in competition with American ships. "The ships were built during the war when everybody was craiy," Ford was quoted as saying. "Most of them were thrown together in a great hurry. They were for an emergency and con sequently many of them were not strongly built and some of the engines put into them were pretty bad." "We have already purcaaed three vessels from the shipping board," he added. "We took these three boats for pioneering and we know their limitations. Two of the boats are of about 3,000 tons. The third, the East Indian, is slightly larger and is now being put into shape for service to Denmark, which we hope will begin about August 1." 44 Babies Die at "Baby Farm." New York. —Records of the Bureau of Vital Statistics were made public showing that 44 babies died in two "baby farms" conducted by Mrs. Helen Auguste Qelsen-Volk in this city since 1918. Mrs. Geisen Volk is being held in (36,000 bail on charges resulting from investigation of the institutions. The records of the deaths were turned over to Assistant District At torney Ryan, who Is in charge of the investigation of charges against Mrs. Geisen-Volk. These charges are that she substituted babies placed in her care and that she exceeded the limit of her health department license in the number of Infants accepted for her institution. The bodies of two babies are being ehumed to determine the causes of their death after they had been in the woman's farm." French Reach Basis For Debt. Chinese Shoot » and Wound 1«.

AWARDS MEDALS OF DISH THREE HONORED BY ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL ASSO CIATION. Washington.—ln the east room of the White House, President Coolidge presented' medals awarded by the Roosevelt Memorial association to Governor Pinchot, of Pennsylvania. George Bird Grlnnell, of New York, and Miss Martha Berry, of Georgia. The awards are made annually for dis tinguished service in any of 10 fields of endeavor. , Addressing Governor Pinchot, who received the medal for his services In behalf of conservation, President Cool idge declared that "no American who is familiar with the history of the great movements Inaugurated by such men as John Muir, Edward A. Bowers and Secretary John W. Noble, and later sponsored by President Roose velt, for the preservation of our for ests, bur waterpower and our mineral wealth, will question the Justice of this award." "In the development of a policy which became one of the most signi ficant of Mr. Roosevelt's administra tion," Mr. Coolidge told the governor, "you were from first to his coun sellor and helper." To his vision and his power you added knowledge and practical experience which was essen tial. You have preached your gospel eloquently and, in office and out of office, have put it into action with an effectiveness which- has rightly won you the gratitude of your fellow Ameri cans, of whiah this medal is a symbol." On presenting the medal to Mr. Grinnell, an editor and publisher, who was honored for his work in promoting outdoor life, the President recalled that he had been with General Custe? in the Black Hills and with Colonel Ludlow in the Yellowstone, had lived among the Indians, and that his study of the language and customs of the Blackfoot tribe, of which he is a mem ber, are considered authoritative. "Few had done so much as you, none have more," added the President, "to preserve vast areas of picturesque wilderness for the eyes of posterity in the simple majepty In which you and your fellow pioneers first beheld them. In the Yellowstone Park you prevented the exploitation and therefore, the destruction of the natural beauties. The Glavier Nation al Park is peculiarly your monument. As editor for 35 years of a journal de voted to outdoor life, you have done a noteworthy service in bringing to th£ men and women of a hurried and har ried age the relaxation and revitaliia tion which comes from contact with nature." General Miles Dies Suddenly. Washington.—Lieut. General Kelson A. Miles, nestor of. American army leaders, premier Indian fighter, diplo mat and author, has taken up the long trail. • His career, spanning fom of the six important military periods of his coun try's history, ended suddenly in the big tent of a circus just as afanfare of trumpets announced the opening pa geant. General Miles was surrounded by happy children, including those of his family's third generation excited over the'prospect of witnessing repro ductions of scenes wkich in their actu ality had occupied so important a phase of his own life. Turning to Mrs. W. B. Noble, mother of his daughter-in-law, the general complained that he felt ill. Before help could be summoned ,he collapsed Into the arms of Dr. A. E. Craig, sit ting directly behind him. The body was removed, under the tier of seats, to the outside, where a hasty examination in the diagnosis showed that the illness had resulted from my-carditis and acute dilation of the heart. This was confirmed later at the hospital to which the body was rushed.
