By the Associated Press. . NEW YORK, July 26.—A last-min- ute order from Washington overtook the liner Kungsholm today as she was leaving for Gothenberg and aved to their father four children of five who were being deported with their mother. Mrs. Poll, an Esthonian, arrived with her children June 30. One of the children was found to have a tubercu- lar knee. The mother and children were ordered deported though _the husband and father, Taormina Poll, has resided in the United States sev- eral years An appeal was made in the case of the four children in good health and a rescinding order arrived today. The Jiner was out in the fairway, but a tug was ent out with an immigra- tion officer. The four children or- dered admitted were taken from the liner and restored to their father on the pier. The sick child sailed with her mother on the steamer. Me., | If you were a kid and had a whole dollar bill handed to you with instruc- tions to spend every cent of it any way you wanted to, what would you buy? There being a reasonable possiblll()" that a youngster's choice would differ | widely from that of an adult in such a | selection, the city editor called upon a | reporter to find out from a typical ‘Washington urchin the whims and fan- cies that control a boy’s mind in get- | ting rid of a dollar. | Through the courtesy of “Mother” | Bennett, wife of Supt. John S. Ben- nett of Central Union Mission, and ith the assistance and advice of Miss | V. Taylor, matron of the mission’s emergency home for children, at New | York avenue and First street, the | | newspaper man was introduced to Billy | ‘annon. Wen't Be Called William. Billy’'s first name is If his name goes in the person rest , tanned, | . and one who Billy naturally did not hesitate to Jump at the chance of showingta singu- larly ignorant reporter just how a dol- lar ‘bill should be put into circulation. He didn't give his peculiar benefactor an opportunity to change his mind by asking .a lot of questions about whose bank the reporter had robbed. but clutched the greenback firmly in pis fingers and stuffed it in the pocket of his_khaki pants. Ready to_ start, Billy did n scratch his head in indecision the course to take. With a w wind start he made a bee-line down M street toward North Capitol, one block away. The reporter remem- bered there was a newly-opened ice cream_parlor on North Capitol street near M, and he prepared to follow his young Mercury around the left corner to this place. But on arriv- ing at the intersection Billy turned a sharp right, hot-footing it past Sibley Hospital and _ignoring any number of attractive-looking delica- tessen stores further on. Goes Straight to Goal. It was becoming apparent to the mystified reporter that Billy had mapped out an itinerary to a definite ot to BILLY SPENDS DOLLAR BILL GIFT IN WAY DONOR NEVER EXPECTED Cones, Candy, Cakes, Peanuts, Movies, All.Passed By Disdainfully—Then He Picks Out Large, Round, Beautiful Object.

Billy's confident, buoyant step bespoke deliberate calculation. Pulling up at the window of a va- riety store, Billy surveyed with evi- ray of candy suckers, school supplies, tops, marbles, dolls and popguns. osh, it's gone!” he ejaculated “What's > some- what winded an an- swer was cut short by Billy's hur- ried departure through the screen door leading into the store. Inside, the boy's face brightened visibly as his gaze fixed itself upon a shelf and his hand dug into the ocket. i Gimme that ball” he said to the woman in charge. The clerk started to take down a reporter, broke in with a contemptuous: the big one.” Not Awed by Price. “That's 75 cent I aw, pointed out—an ai rubber ball of ren lled. eight- rkabie bounc relict with | nursery rhyme characters “I got that much,” replied Billy, un- | as he flourished the dollar | il { Billy gathered the big ball into his| arms and received two dimes and a nickel in change. *Been wanting this ball ever since school closed,” Billy confided beamingly. *I almost thought it was gone when I looked in that win- | dow. But it wasn't, was it?" The boy's companion readily agreed that it | wasn't. | Asked what he intended to do with such a large ball, Billy replied, “Play slog.” Still in the dark, the reporter asked what slog was. He was inform- ed that slog consists principally in try- ing to hi. a base runner with a ball before he gets to his base, which usu- ally is a tree, stone or similar object. | If he gets hit and still survives he is “it” and must do the throwing him- self. i Charts His Course. 4 ‘Well, Billy in five minutes had spent | three-fourths of his dollar. The other | quarter ought to go pretty fast, it was thought. Holding_the three coins in his fist, the boy began go show signs of vacillation, however. ¥ Down North Capitol street’ he walked, stopping mo- | mentarily before a window or two that looked promising, but avoiding a de- cision. Pulling up at H street, Billy voiced his mind. “Let's go to the 10- tomorrow. Washington, D. 107-115 F St. N. W. Tel.

There were no 10-cent stores in that neighborhood, so, ready to carry out his promige in full, the reporter took his young charge on a street car to 7th and K streets. In the first one Billy went direct to the toy counter and with little hesita- tion selected an auto truck, an impor- tant and compelling feature of which is its ability to dump by the maneuver- ing of a lever on the side. ‘That left 15 cents. The boy slowly cast his eyes over the ensemble of toys, switched his glance to the dime and nickel in his palm and nodded for the reporter to follow him across the street to another store. Billy was determined not to have.cause to regret a hasty purchase. Finds Wide Selection. On the second floor Billy found himself in Toyland. Even the signs sald So. His shining eyegy shifted from counter to counter as he took in the, drums, marble agates, games, picture books, wagons, goif clubs and watering cans. Shortly after- ward he exchanged the nickel for a set of table implements, including a knife, fork and spoon. That left 10 cents. A dime would not buy a whole lot here. But the lad's grip on his 75-cent ball showed that he did not regret his initial out- la: Billy picked up a toy “No Park- ing” sign, remarked that it would “‘go good” with his truck, and placed it _back. He examined the workings of a wind-up fire engine, but did not re- linguish his money. A small model of an electric fan, with revolving blades, aroused his curiosity, but he said he didrt think it was worth 10 cents in view of the fact that it wodldn't operate on electricity. It was beginning to be clear that the youngster had about made up his mind to ect one of two things, neither of which the reporter would even have suggested. One was a small, gecorated sewing box, con- taining heedles, thread, etc.. and the other a pasteboard “barrel” through which were stuck about a dozen col- lar buttons. But Billy was having as much trouble deciding which of these to take as a President has in declding a grave public problem. Something must be done quickly. The only solution was to buy both the sew- ing box and the collar buttons. He reached for another dime, handed it to the grateful boy and motioned for the clerk to wrap ‘em up. His brow slightly feverish from the suspense of the last half hour, the scribe took his ward to a nearby drug store and both guiped down fice cream sodas. Between drinks Billy explained that the sewing box would come in handy when he ripped his trousers. The collar but- tons, he admitted, were not so prac- ticable on collar-attached shirts; but they were such a bargain. “Think of all this gold for a dime!” he exclaimed. Back at the home on New York ave- nue Billy proudly displayed his étock to his wondering playmates. Wide-eyed, the youngsters inspected each toy from various angles. Billy struck a reflective attitude, as though in deep thought. “Say,” he broke out euddenly, “T don't ‘spose they'd let me change this sewing box for that fan, would they”" The reporter absolutely supposed not.

WHEAT CLIMBS AGAIN IN STRIKING CONITRAST Reaches $1.42 149 at Highest To- day—Was Under $1.00 a Year Ago. By the Amociated Prens, CHICAGO, July 26.—It 15 rare that such a startling contrast in market conditions can be shown as was the case on the Chicago Board of Trade | today, compared with a year ago. Wheat today made a long climb of | 6% ocents a bushel here on top of | many spectacular recent gains. Last year at this time, most deliveries of wheat here were under $1.00 a bushel, and below the estimated cost of pro- duction, the market demoralized, and brokers In a rush to sell. Today there was an overwhelming rush to buy, and as much as $1.42% a bushel was paid here. A strong world situation with re- spect to grains, coupled with con- tinued reports of extensive damage to the Canadian wheat crop and in partioular a greatly expanded general purchasing movement were reasons advanoed today for the remarkable ohange from the situation last year. Some of the most experienced observ- ers, however, described the appear- ande of the market at the close today as strained, and said that the outlook was one which suggested caution.
