The, list was somewhat unsettled, first by the attack agafust United States Rubber and Producers and Refiners, but it was noteworthy that the lead- ing industrials held their ground very well. When the check came to the selling in the tires and domestic oils the whole list went ahead mod- arately, partly under the influence of short covering., and Ch4 stocks as’ American _Locomotive. Studebaker, American Can and Baldwin Locomo. tive became increasingly act hoint or more above the close on Thursday. Pressure Againat Rubber.

Not more than half of the sugar we Americans consume is used in our| homes. The rest goes into manufac- | tured products. The estimates of the | quantitics used in manufacture run this way: - Our candy makers alone use more than 350,000 tons, and 130,000 tons more go to sweeten up chocolates and ice_cream Every vear the bakers dip into the national sugar bowl for well over 15.000 tons for bread, 55,000 tons for | crackers and 90.000 tons for ples nnd] cakes. A mere 10,000 tons goes every year into frostings and odds and ends in the bakeries. Fourteen thousand or gbre soft- drink makers hit the naffon’s sugar bin for at least 135,000 tons for their | concoctions and another 100,000 tons &oes into condensed milk. Twenty thousand tons of sugar is chewed up each year in gum; and less aesthetic jaws worked on another ! 15000 tons that goes into tHe nation's “eatin’_tobacco,” this mot including about 6,000 tons that goes to smoking tobaccos. = The country’s pill ‘and potion bill disposes of about 6,000 tons of sugar aach vear, and the corner druggist uses an unknown quantity in filling | what the doctor ordered. Even sticky fly paper and ronch.i ant and rat killers draw from the sugar supply to the tune of hundreds of tons. And nobody knows how much has! gone into bootleg and home-brew. Rooster Adopts Little Chicks. From the Topeka Capital. A_year-old rooster belonging to J. Hudson of Troy, Kans, had its crop torn open by dogs. Evelyn Hudson, the daughter, cleaned and washed the crop thoroughly, sewed it up and put the rooster in a coop where they put the neyly hatched chicks from the incubator. Mr. Rooster was about two weeks recov- ering from his injuries and all the time was very friendly- with- the chicks. When they were let out in the yard he went with them “cluck- H. Mo Pacific.

Incident in Which an Auto Casual- ty Revealed Character of Driver. From the Lewiston Jourgal. A successful Maine business mam was sitting on his porch a few Sun- days ago talking with a visitor. An automobile in avhich a party of young friends rode, passed the house and then swung into the side of the highway. The young man who was driving got out and looked at the tire of the front wheel. It was flat. He ‘walked to the rear of the car, looked at the spare tire and then said something . to one of the other young men who had gotten out. The other made a reply .and both got into the car. It was turned around and driven down the street. The Lusin®ss man watched the operation but satd nothing. Half an. hour later the party came back along the road and proceeded out of slght. “I_suppose you noticed that.” sald the business man to his guest “I don't know as I understand,”| replied the other. “That car which just passed had a flat tire the first time they came by here. They turned around and went back and now they have passed again.” “I remember that car now, but did not notice that it was the same,” was the repl “It was,” said the business man. “I had a particular reason for noticing it, as the young man driving it has been seeking a place with me. I had about made up my mind to give him the chance, but I wouldn’t take him on_after watching this incident” His friend expressed surprise and the business man went on to explain. He called attention to the type of car the party was using and sald that the work of changing the tire would not have required more than twenty minutes while it ought to be done in considerab’ less time. The car should have all the necessary equip- ment for making the change. If 1t didn’t! the young man showed care- lessness in not having his tools in place when he started on the trip. “It is true said the business man. “that he might have soiled his hands, might have gotten a bit of dirt on his trousers, but the one could have been washed and the other brushed By making the change himself, he would not have lost the time neces- sary to go back to a garage to have it done and would have saved that axpense, but he wouldn't take the chance 6f the little dirt. Tt is un- tortunate for him that this took place in front of my house for it cost him the place with our firm: I don’t want that sort of youngsters working for us.’ Putting Drama in Its Place. From Eversbodys Magazine. An idea of some of the difficulties under which people throughout the country labor in any attempt to reap profit from judgment and opinion in matters artistic will be galned from the following experience of the late Creston Clarke, the actor: 2 While playing in a good-sized city he was approached one day on the street by an eager young man, who sald: “How do you do, Mr. Clarke? I saw your performance last night. T'm on the —." “Oh!" said Mr. Clarke. *“And how do_you llke newspaper work?" “I think it's fine,” replied the youth. I'm just starting in at it. I'm only dramatic critic now, but if T do we| they're going to give me police work. | Running No Risks. From the Savannah News.

Cherry-ripe time in Missouri. Trees dripping their red fruit over fence corners along highways or nodding from garden spots or orchards. From kitchen windows and doorways comes the tantalizing odor of cherries cook- ing. A cheery ple in every oven. That is central Missour these days, as a staff correspondent for the Kan- sas City Star found it. The cherry crop is larger than for several years. and even the price of sugar doesn't prevent housewives from serving cherry ple twice .. day. While many cherries are golng intb jars and cans without sugar. with hopes that sugar will be cheaper in the fall, there ways is some way to get enough sweetening” for a pie. Drop into many of the Howard and Chariton county kitchens these days and you will find women experiment- ing _with “mock” cherry bounce, cherry liquor and cherry cordial. The “kick™ is missing, but the drinks are deliciously refreshing. In one kitchen a housewife pours out a sparkling golden-red drink. adding a sprig of mint from her garden, a bit of lemon and_a handful of crushed ice. “You may find that a little tar+” she apologizes, “because 1 cut down on the sugar. That's just plain cor- dial, and it's dead easy to make. 1 take the ripest, reddest cherries I can find, stone them, cover with water, let them get piping hot, almost bolling, and strain through a jelly bag. Then. if there's plenty of sugar, I make 't half and half and seal it in glass or stone jars while hot. “My man says my right, and he doesn't some do_about missing the ‘kick.’ tell him I don’t believe in folke snea ing in alcohol or toddy and doctor- ing things up these days just to tickle the palat: _— FIND BONE HARPOONS 10,000 YEARS OLD From the Kansas City Sta A point of extreme importance for the history of prehistoric man in the British Isles has just been settled by the publication of two reports in the anthropological periodical, Man vindicating the authentRity of .two bone harpoons found beneath the peat in Holderness, Yorkshire. The two harpoons are one four and a haif inches and the other ten inches long. ‘Their interest is great, as from certain peculiarities they are now shown to be the work of Magle mose men—so called from Magle mose, a place in Denmark, where many extraordinary relics of very early man were discovered. The age of Maglemose man may be anything from_10000 to even 20000 B.C., when the North sea was dry. when land connected Denmark with Yorkshire and Scotland and when the Dogger Bank was covered with forests. In September, when a paper was read by Leslie Armstrong of Shef- fleld, at the Hull meeting of the British Association on the Holderness finds, the genuineness of these har- poons was challenged by Mr. Shepard, the curator of the Hull Museum, who declared them to be forgeries not thirty years old. They were consequently examined by two-.expert committees, whose re- ports have now appeared. 'They were compared with four harpoons from Kunda, Estonia, which are unques- tionably of Magiemose date, and were proved identical with them in type, color and chemical condition of the bone. The lines of cutting were also identical. The two harpoons are declared gen- uine and Prof. Sir W. Boyd Dawkins, oneof the greatest living aughorities on anthropology, writes: “I have no hesitation in saying that the charge that they are forgeries is_absolutely without foundation.” Further confirmation of his view is afforded by the discovery of a similar harpoon under the peat at Bethune, in France. . The Meanest Man. From the Los Angeles Times. The meanest man in the world has once more been locatéd. This time he turns out to be an eastern busi- ness man who stole a newspaper from a blind newsboy every morning for four months. He wore rubber-soled shoes and would take a paper ‘from the lad's stock without saying a word. But he was finally trapped, and it gave a policeman much pleasure to bear him off to the bastile. There a judge also found satisfaction in fin- ing him the limit. It would have been cheaper had he subscribed for the paper twenty years in advance. Origin of the Ghetto. From the Kansas City Times. The ghetto was the Jewish quarter of an Italian city. Pope Paul 1V, in 1556 established the ghetto of Rome, and it existed until 1885, when it was removed to make way for the new smbankment of the Tiber. The Jews were at one time closely confined to that section of the ¢ity and were not allowed outside the limits unless dis- tinguished from the Christians by wearing, the men a yellow hat gnd ‘he women a veil of the same color. The ghetto was inclosed by a wall and the gates thereto were locked at night. + Limited Mental Work.

The great trouble with American life today is the tendency to see | everything from a money. point of view. People are forever asking with regard to every choice in life, “Will it pay?’ They judge education and occupation and marriage and all other relations by the money point of view. But there is a side of life still that is to some extent and in some minds free from this sordid standard. There is a group of things to which we give the name of home. There are values in one's home that cannot be meas- | ured by the mere coarse yardstick of | money. So people will often sacrifice money rewards in order to retain the home associations that they prize. The question of developing what is called & good residential town de- pends in a large measure on the ac- quirement of this point of view. You can't have a good home town if you ask In regard to everything you do, if it will pay In terms of money. If the object for improving a home or a street or a neighborhood is purely to make money, a lot of folks will never co-operate in such efforts. If the only motive for planting fine trees and shrubbery is that they make a residence sell for more, & lot of people will never do it.

From the San Francisco Chronicle. Bull fighting is on the wane in Spain and the reasons given are such that sion of prize fighting in the United States. _A magazine of Madrid, Blanco ¥ Negro, quoted by the Literary Digest, sa. In 1915 there were 685 first-class fights during the season; three years later the number had fallen to 421; last year it was only 257, and the | time ‘is fast approaching when bull fighting will be only a memory.” Now for the reason given by Blanco Negro: Since the matadors came to di mand exorbitant salaries their popu- larity has dwindled. A few decades ago a torero was almost a national hero; admiring crowds followed him and the glory attached to his name was more important than money. Nowadays the bull fight is a business proposition.” y peaches, 20a65; b: they fall in very pat with any discus- {243 FINANCIAL, Grain, Produce and Live Stock LOCAL WHOLESALE MARKET.

CHICAGO, August 11.— Highest prices in several weeks were reached by the wheat market today during the early dealings. Wet weather de- laying the Canadian harvest and in- creasing the chances of damage to late wheat had a bullish influence, and so, likewise, did absence of hedg- ing sales here. 'Besides, country of- ferings in all sections were light. The_opening, which ranged from 14 to 3 higher. with September 993 to 99%, and December 1.03 to 1.03%, and then a_moderate reaction. And we can imagine the . toreros saying, as Kearns said of Dempsey a | day or two ago. “We draw the money into the gate; why shouldn't we de- mand a million for fighting?" —_— Apple Packing Poor in East. The real reason the eastern states’ apple grower has so much trouble competing with the western grower is that he insists upon sticking to a poor method of packing. At least this {s the -statement of B. D. Van Buren, head of the apple grading in- spection work of the New York state department of farms and markets. He says: “Apple growers in the east. as a whole, have not packed well enough for the best trade among the discrim- inating consumers. Consumers in all the eastern cities are waiting and longing for the opportunity to buy a package of eastern apples packed and graded as carefully as the north- western box apples. If the growers in the east will grow and pack in such a way as to meet the demand that is already here, this demand will increase to an almost unbelievable extent.” ! Poor Henry! From the Baltimore Sun. probability such efforts to beautify a place do pay in cash, but that motive alone is not sufficient. To secure these fine qualities that constitute a_high-grade home town, something besides money ambition has to. be devoted to this purpose. People must feel a love for their com- munity, an attachment to that spot that they call home. There must be a kind of affection for the scene, a desire to nurse it and make it as lovable and romantic and beautiful as possible. . Somehow civic beayty seems to have its effect on the character of the peo- ple of a town. “If you have a dull and drab looking town, you will draw dull and drab people,” ‘said a lecturer on civic topics. Fire 4larms Frequent. From the Los Angeles Times. The insurance man tells us that somewhere in the United States there is a fire every four minutes and we are further advised that three out of every four fires are preventable and unnecessary. If we built as substan- tially as they do in France or Eng- land or it we were as careful as the people are in Holland we might run all day without an alarm of fire. But we build flimsily, we leave a lot of rubbish lying around and we are reckless with our matches. That is why we are forever telephoning fer | the firemen. z A Baltimore man who was for- merly a resident of a town on the Eastern Shore recently revisited his old home town after an absence' of many vears. One day he was talking | with an old friend. about various | people he formerly knew. “What became of the Hall family?” he inquired. “Oh,” said the latter. “Tom Hall did very well. Got to be an actor out on the Pacific coast. Bill, the other brother, is something of an artist in New York, and Lucy, the sister, ia doing literary work. But Henry never amounted to much. It took ail he could lay his hands on to support the others.” , Her Favorite. From the Houston Post. “Who is your favorite poet Gush—Longfellow or Whittier the professor. “Oh, neither of them. - Mine is much more wonderful. I am quite in love with him, and the strange part of it is that 1 fon't even know his first name. Can you tell me, professor? His name is Anon. Not Particular.

Net corporate income of the Wash ington Rapid Transit Company for the month of July showed a deficit of $2,903, as compared with a loss of $2,733 for the corresponding month of last year, and with a profit of $1,34 during June, 1923. A huge decline in transportation revenue was responsi- ble for the loss, a perusal of the earnings statement filed with the Public Utllities Commission shows. Total revenue derived from trans portation during the month amounted to $22,968, ay against $24,700 last Juls, while expenses aggregated $25,505 in 1923, as against $27,230 last Revenue passengers carrled lasi month numbered only 287,787, while in July of last year they totaled 350,844 weribed to Seasonal Dullness. It is understood that the usual sea- sonal dullness is responsible for the adverse showing. It should be re- membered that the 16th street route year per | of the company is, probably, the bes: revenue producer, this line serving primarily the downtown government departments, whose list of absentees during the past month has been pa ticularly heavy, due to the vacatior season belng at hand. Then, too, it i believed in other quarters the re quested increase In fare to 10 ce has led a proportion of the compans clientele to seek other modes o travel. The decision in the rate o is still pending, but will undoubte be decided in the near future. $50,000,000 in Loans.
