SPEED UP INDUSTRIES ECONOMISTS ADVISE Will Increase* the Efficiency of Producing Units. By Times Special NEW YORK, July Economic Service in their weekly bulletins advise the speeding up by industries of measures to increase the efficiency of producing units during the present dull period. They say: “Putting them off may easily bring them into a period when activity will already be on the upgrade, and when time and effort should be applied to reaping the benefits of better methods rather than formulating them. The indications are that the present will be a short downturn and, that after the declining movement is finished, business will not stay on a low level for any great length of time."

OLD CORN SOARS TO NEW LEVELS July Wheat Sags Slightly on Crop Report. By United Press CHICAGO. July 11.—All grains, with the exception of July wheat, closed higher on the Board of Trade Friday. New high marks were set in com. Apprehension over Canadian prospects was the dominant factor in wheat and created some local buying in distant deliveries. July sagged a small fraction due to more liberal offerings from the count ry and a falling off in cash business. Old crop corn went further Into new high ground. The acute shortage of spot corn and the presence of a good cash business caused bullish enthusiasm in nearby values. Future option showed sharp advances, but were held in check by better prospects. July oats led that market In strength. Good cash business was in evidence. Receipts were light. Futures made sympathetic gains. Provisions went up with hogs, grains and some foreign buying.

NEW SCHOOL TO TRAIN SURVEYORS FORMING Geographical Society Finds College-Made Man Lacks Spirit. By Times Special NEW YORK, July 11.—The good old days when all one needed to be an explorer were a wanderlust, a sextant and a good imagination have passed, the American Geographical Society has decided, and to provide a qualified group of hardy pioneers a school for explorers will be opened In the fall. Taking a scientific glance over the earth’s surface, the society has discovered vast areas that have not been "done” properly. Valiant souls have fought their way through jungle fever and cannibalistic opposition, but the data they brought back have been insufficient to satisfy the 100 per cent scientific mind. The truth is, the society admits, that even exploration has been influenced by the age of specialization. It takes more than an independent income or the backing of a foundation to make a pioneer suitable to the needs of the contemporary generation, and so the school has been created. Surveying on Large Basis Dr. Alexander Hamilton Rice is the instigator of the scheme and is the director of the school. O. M. Miller. formerly an officer in the British Royal Field Artillery and later a student of the Royal Geographical Society, and Weld Arnold, formerly a fellow in the Harvard University astronomical laboratory, will assist in the instruction. The school's main purpose is to prepare the potential vanguards of modern civilization with a complete knowledge of surveying. The society has found that college courses in this work make a good railroad transit man or a good county sur- ' veyor. but they do not prepare the student for making a record of the vast spaces that are calling the scientifically curious to leave the comforts of the city for the excitements of the jungles. A knowledge of recording the boundaries of hundreds of acres of land that has never been subjected to this treatment before is needed by the explorative parties that are being sent out. South America Best Field The biggest opportunities for students of this school are found in South America, the society reports, for much of that continent has not been gone over thoroughly. Before the "mopping up” squads of botanists. ethnologists, geologists and physlographists can give to the world a knowledge of what really lies in these sequestered spots, exploring surveyors have to make thei r records. “Good topographical maps are as Important as capital in the exploitation of hitherto uncivilized country," the brochure on the new school announces. All aspiring Columbuses are welcome, and diplomas will be granted at the completion of the course.
