The autumnal sun slid haltingly down worn, brick walls as though awaiting retreat call at any moment It sifted through climbing fire escapes, throwing cubistic shadows from rcpeUtional bars onto dingy windows. It caught on torn curtains of cheap lace lappieg the slightly stirring air like monrtrous, white tongues. It glanced through tier on tier of griraely brilliant washings swaying nonchalantly; now carelessly licking the house fronts; now caressingly twining the Iron rods that stepped zig-zag up tho tenements of Babel. Its stray beams scarcely caught the canvas tops of the push carts •' at lined the nnrow streets of • .i.

The lever clicked again, and "TUe Sidewalk* of New York” was sueci eded by the “Intermezzo” from “CuValeria Kustlcana.” Feeling that Justice had been done to the amount of Um coins received, tho man and his hurdygurdy started off down the street, stdl grinding forth the tune.

INDIANA INDUSTRY. UNPROTECT ED BY TARIFF. THREATENED BY IMPORTED PRODUCT. SAYS PORTLAND CEMENT COMPANY OFFICIAL
Growing importance of foreign cement which have became a strong competitive factor on the Atlantic seaboard and In the gulf states, constitute a distinct menace to the future of the Indiana cement industry and thousands of workers dependent on it in the opinion of D. S. MacBride of the Indiana Portland Cement Company, who has just completed a survey of the industry. In six years 7.99i!,‘J18 barrels of | Foreign cement have been received ! on the Atlantic and Gulf seaboards. ; Produced at pauper wages and pro- | tected by government price-fixing, | tru-t agreements, railroad rebates J and other foreign devices to stimulate exports, this volume of cement i is displacing American production land driving Eastern and Southern I manufacturers farther inland to seek a market. Mr. MacBride says, Introi duciiig a new element of competition in interior districts. S45.168.750 Invested in State The magnitude of cement manufnc ture in Indiana and its economic imj porlance to the state are shown by some ol Mr MacBride's figures. In 19J0 the indistry contributed to the state’s industrial revenue $20,492,081. It engaged capital of $4 5,168,75u; supporting 2,858 employes and | paid $17,426,272 to other industries I lor materials and services. “Any loss of business to the cement industry is reflected in loss ol j business to the industries from which ' cement producers buy their raw material, fuel, and mill and olllce supi plies and these include many Industrie* in the buying territory served by the Indiana cement industry,” Mr. ! MacBride said. “Cement is one of the few major 1 commodities which has no tariff prolection, leaving the industry wholly unarmed against unequal competi-
tion.

By International News Service CHICAGO.—Statistics compiled by the Horse Association of America reveal the horse is rapidly dying, according to Wayne Dinsmore, secretary of the association. Vehicle license tags for horse drawn wagons have been decreasing reports from twenty cities indicated. Reports from farms in fourteen states indicate, also, that the horse is diappearing from the country. “There is an acute shortage of horses,” Dismore explained here recently. “Demand for good draft horses in large cities far exceeds the available supply. In the last seven years the number of horses on farms have dwindled from 20.000,000 to 15,000,000 and an even greater decline is indicated for the next four years.”
