Com- pared ‘with May, 1929, with an index number of 95.8, a decrease of 7 per cent is shown.. Based on these figures, the purchasing power of the 1926 dollar was $1.044 in May, 1929, and $1.122 in May, 1930. Farm products as a whole decreased nearly 3 per cent in average price from April to May, due to declines in grains, beef ; steers, sheep, poultry, eggs. flax- Alfalfa and timothy hay, lemons, onions and oranges, on the other hand, were some- what higher than in April. Prices for the month averaged 9 per cent below those of May, 1929, Foods declined 234 per cent from the April level, with decreases for butter, coffee, flour, cornmeal and sugar. For this group also prices were appreciably lower than in the corresponding month of last year. ‘Textile products were slightly down- ward, with cotton goods, salt and rayon, woolen and worsted goods and other textile products all participating in the decline. Fuel gnd lighting materials showed only & finor change, decreases in an- thracite coal being offset by increases mt“”lme and other petroleum prod- uets. Metals and metal products averaged somewhat lower, with minér decreases shown for iron and steel and decided decreases for nonferrous metals, includ- ing copper, silver, tin and zinc. Building materials also averaged lower than in April, lumber, brick, paint materials and others sharing in the price decline. Chemicals and drugs, including fer- tilizer materials and mixed fertilizers, were Jower than in April, while house- furnishing goods showed no change.

Iu 281 jn- stances no change in price was re- ported. Comparing prices in May with those of a year ago, as measured by changes in the index numbers, it is seen that decreases have taken place in all major groups of commodities, such decreases ranging from 15 to 1 per cent in the case of housefurnishing goods to aver lflupfl' cent in the case of textile prod- ucts. 61 THEATERS BOUGHT.

Neely, former attorney for Martin, brought forth the contention that he still is alive, in testimony given in Chancery Court here Tuesday pre- pardory to distribution of the $1,000,~ | 000 estate of the late William M. Wood, grandfather of Martin, His informant that Martin was in Mexico, he said, Was & man whose name Was given as Clarence S. Eldridge. Eldridge, Neely testified, told him while on a visit to Memphis in 1927 or 1928 that he was a passenger with Martin on a boat bound for Yucatan and later spent s night with him at a chicken ranch he owned near Santa Crus e Bravoe, Mexico. Neely produced a number of letters from Eldridge and said he had learned that Martin was haunted by the fear of debts, which at one time are said to have totaled nearly $180,000, but all o{‘ which have since been paid by rel- atives, HOOVER SIGNS MEASURE Act Authorizes Erection of Memo- rial to William J.

The Board’s findings have been expressed .briefly in the *fourteen points” below. That the test procedure was followed Thet a reduction in the tate of wear,0c- curring during the use of CONOCO Germ-Processed Motor Oil over that occurring with the other cils wsed to the extent of 76.4 per cent was shown during these tests; l} That greater stability of the subject oil Q during these tests was shown by records of examination of desined oils being nearer the viscosicy of theariginal or fresh-oil and by chem- during the use of the subject oil-were lower than temperatures occurring during the wse of the comparables; That higher compression pressures were obeained with the use of the subject ail during these tests than with the use of other oils. It would be directly inferred that this was camsed by better ring seal; \ That wsing the subject oil and during 6 each test, greaser gasolime mileage for economy was cbtained than during the use of the comparahies; That-less oil consumption ss shown by the records of these tests occurred with the use of the subject oil; That carbon deposits collected from the combustion chambers and cylinder heads and weighed by the official chemist were shown by the records of the test to be less after the wee of the subject oil than after the use of the comparables; i A That the subject oil showed a reduction in the case of crank-case dilution ‘dur ing these tests; l“ That during these tests the subject oil showed improved compression pres- sure, decreased rate of crank-case dilution and decreased gasoline consumption, indicating am improved ring seal; That a reduction in the operating fuel l_]. and oil cost occurring during these tests with the use of the subject il is substantiated by the records; 12 That with the use of the eubject ol there occurred less devistion from cycle to cycle in compression pressure at starting that improved compression at higher speeds might have occurred during these tests; l That the reduction in the rate of wear occurring during these tests with the wse of the subject oil as shown by the records inference that they might be 30 is ressonable and rational, although not conclusive.
