The opening, which varied from unchanged figures to %4c higher, May $1.08% to $1.08%, and July $1.06% was followed by a trifling sag and then by slow but general gains. Reports of improved quality of corn receipts tended to ease down prices of corn and oats. to After open ing unchanged %@%c lower, May 72% to 72%c, corn rallied a little, but again declined. Oats started unchanged to higher, May 45%c, and weakened. Provision: DeMolay Picks Denver Man as Activities Head KANSAS CITY, Mo, Dec. 15— Roy E.

CROOKED GUIDES ARE DRIVEN FROM STREETS QF PARIS BY OFFICERS BY JOHN O'BRIEN (United Press Staff Correspondent) PARIS (By Mail to U: —“Vant a guide, sair picture, sair?” Every tourist, Amer. {can or other, who has strolled along the boulevard about midnight. espe- cially between tho Place de l'Opera and the Madeleine, knows the ol!y gang of Balkan and Oriental crooks who infest the sidewalks of the cen- tre of Paris after nightfall.
