With only $58 remaining in the $3,000 appropriation set aside for the feeding of prisoners during the year, administration officials have decided upon an experiment designed to sharply cut down the cost of "entertaining" the occupants of cells at police headquart-rs. Mayor Stanley Davis, director of Public Safety James T.

Hanlon and Police Magistrate Fred Seymour agreed that in addition to making an attempt to reduce the expense or feeding prisoners at City Hall, they will seek to have the county prison board cut the present rate for boarding city police prisoners at the county Jail. The tentative plan for police headquarters is to install the -necessary equipment in the women's ward there, and have the matrons prepare the food. Facilities for cooking are now available In the ward. Through this arrangement, the city officials believe the expense can be cut down materially. According to reports a petition is being circulated in Lehman Township, which Includes Lake Silk-worth and the Outlet section of Harvey's Lake, to bring before the voters of that township this coining election the question of local option.

This petition will be presented to the township supervisors and they in turn will be asked to petition the County Commissioners1 to place same upon the voting machines this coming election. Local option opposes the sale of liquor in any section in which it is adopted.

29. A sudden selling drive directed against the railroad shares turned the market lower in the last hour today wiping out early gains running to a point and in some Instances converting them into equally large losses. Selling of-TheTalls appearecTTo be concentrated on New Tork Central whose July earnings were estimated to have shown a loss of the worst In about a year. Other rails also came under pressure with Atchison, Southern ail-way, Lackawa-ma, and Southern Pacific quickly surrendering early gains. The motor shares encountered similar opposition to their advance.

Chrysler after getting up nearly a point on a moderate turnover ran Into heavy offerings and dropped fractionally under yesterday's closing. General Motors, Auburn and Hudson were similarly affected. Pierce Arrow was turned over in comparatively large volume with one block of 6,000 shares appearing on the tape, but there waa no material price change. Mining shares turned down along with the rest of the list as traders ignored the inflationary implications of the Morgenthau speech as it related to the use of the devaluation profit. United Smelting dipped more than a point also with Howe Sound, American Smelting, and Cerre de Pasco.

29. President Roosevelt made it plain here today that use of the profit from devaluation of the dollar to cut down the public debt was a long way off. Coming within twelve hours of Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau's announcement that this use would ultimately be made of the $2,800,000,000 "profit." the presidential comment dissipated any impression that such action would come soon. The executive regards the money as a sort of Federal nest egg, it was made plain. Of course, eventually this money will fc used.

When it is, it will be applied to the public debt to help in the big job of balancing the budget. However, Mr. Roosevelt wants it clearly understood that the time for this use Js far in the future. All efforts to have the President discuss the projected textile strike, or the action of cotton garment employers in resolving they would not obey the executive's order for higher wages and shorter hours wre unsuccessful.
