RACING WITHOUT BETTING 11 PLANNED FOR CALIFORNIA ' I iilteU I’reiw, Muff Vorrexpomlco* San Francisco, July 2t> —A racing I m ason to compare in quality with any anywhere in tho country, without betting of any kind. That is tho proposition which a group of well-known racing million-j Hires of California will attempt to put over at Tanforan track, a few miles out of San Francisco. The old Tanforan track, famed in tho days before betting was lcgislat-l ! ed out of existence in California in; lit 11, is being reconstructed by the Pacific Coast Jockey Club, organized > hy a group of millionaires. Construction is already under way, and it has been announced that everything will be in readiness for a big Thanksgiving day opening. Those interested are A. B. Spreckles, president; Rudolph Spreckles, vice-president; Herbert Fleishacker, treasurer; Howard Spreckles, secretary; A. K. Macomber, C. K. O. Hillings, Frank J. Kelly and Thomas Fortune Ryan, the New York cap!- ‘ ttilist and sportsman, directors. Colonel D. C. Jackling is also interested in tho venture, but recently resigned front active work because of other business. His place was filled '• by Ryan. The club has announced that . neither handbooks, oral betting, nor pari-mutuels will be tolerated at the I track, and the track officials will cooperate with the police to bar all 1 bookies and gamblers from entering ■ the stands. LICENSED WAREHOUSES EN.ABLE PLANTERS TO HOLD COTTON r 1 More'than 1,500,000 bales of cotton | were received during last season, up to; 1 May 31, in cotton warehouses licensed under the United States warehouse act, the United States Department of , Agriculture reports. The number of , hales on hand May 31 in these warehouses was 268,345. “These figures indicate increased I recognition of the value of warehaus-; ing cotton in Government licensed ; warehouses,” says H. S. Yohe in charge of the Federal warehouse work. I • “The receipts issued for cotton stored 1 in these warehouses are readily ac-i . t i ptable as collateral for bank loans. I The value of these receipts for col-! lateral purposes enables growers to, market their cotton orderly.” There are 271 cotton warehouses now under Federal license as compared with 239 warehouses May 31, 1921. While the umber of licensed ware--1 houses -luring this period has increas--1 ed only 32, a great many small warehouses were dropped from the : stem while a number of warehouses with capacities ranging from 5,000 to. 75,900 bales came under tlie at t. The , result has been that the licensed cotton storage capacity during this time; h is be -n increased more thi n three, times hat it was on Muy 31. 1921. There has also been a great increase in tho number of grain warehouses: requesting to be licensed under the United States warehouse act, partic-1 tlr tly in the Northwest. The number '• o' grain warehouses now licensed is; 2:11; 16 tobacco warehouses and 23 Ftol warehouses are also licensed. — • SURPLUS ARMY EQUIPMENT RETURNED FOR ROAD MAKING The first shipment of surplus war material used by the American army o occupation in Germany and now to/ be distributed among the states for use in road construction arrived at Boston, N.

Additional material for road i making to be shipped from Germany - will consist of several hundred ! trucks, a number of tractors, and i about 2,000,000 pounds of spare parts I i for trucks. - LONDON TAKES TO U, S. SOFT DRINKS ! I'res., Staff Washington, July 20—Is prohibition really sweeping across the At- ; lantic to Great Britain? Reports to the Department of , , Commerce indicate that American I soft drinks are becoming popular in |. I the British Isles. Until recently soda fountains, ac-l cording to commerce department ro-j C ports, were practically unknown in' Ixmdton. Now they can be found ini' all tho principal cities. One agent f claims to have sold 150 fountains ini' the last year.
