Women Smokers Blamed for Fire Insurance Men Told Effort Should Be Made to Stop “Secret Puffs.” Ta« carelessness of smokers In general and women smokers In par ticular, was condemned by Frank M. Vond, when be addressed the Insur ance division of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce at a dinner and meeting Thursday night on the subject of "Fire Prevention.” "Tho careless smoker is our hard est proposition,'1 said Mr. Pond. It is not the cigar or pipe smoker, but the person who throws away a partly smoked and still lighted clgaret, for 1 hat holds fire. Women smokers especially are a hard proposition. "For instance, we may be out at the country club. A woirtan is smok ing a clgaret when someone comes around the corner. Tiie woman 1* very apt to hide her lighted clgaret by throwing it behind a convenient railing, anu walk away. Such eases are typical of many fire causee.” Mr. Pond said that women should smoke out in the open if they find it necessary to smoke. The speaker declared that Insur ance men are not getting the co operation from state authorities to which they are entitled. "It should be up to the fire marshal to fnake investigations,” he declared. "Nebras ka has no fire marshal.” Morris A. Hyde, chairman of the insurance division of the Lincoln chamber of commerce, urged a great er spirit of fairness and co-operation among insurance men. Walter W. Head, president of the American Bankers’ association, traced tne development of civilization and the relative increase in the recog nized value of Insurance. Twenty guests from Lincoln, and K. FoWler of Grand Island were en tertained by the 200 local men pres ent. One of the Lincoln guests was Mrs. M. A. Fairchild of the state in surance department. An eight-piece orchestra, furnished through the ef forts of Henry W. Buff of the Hy draulic Pressed Brick company, lent the necessary syncopation during the dinner. Toastmaster was Homer O. Wilhelm. _ Biblical Pky Leads to Altar • i 1 '■ Lob* Angeles, Dec. 21.—A Biblical romance will be turned Into an ac tual wedding at Angelus temple tonight.

Total ship ments were 170 cars, against 206 cars a year ago. Cash wheat was In fair demand in the Omaha market, with prices lc lower. The heavy offerings of corn went slow . ,T,C 1^»c l°wer, being generally lc to 1 V4o lower. Oat* sold Vfrc to \c lower, generally \c lower. Rye was quoted lc lower, and barley nominally unchanged to lc lower. Bearish aentlrnent prevailed in the Chi cago futures market during the early part of the session. Soiling by Winnipeg and the pronounced weakness In Minneapolis caused further liquidation, with Inade quate support until May whgat had reach ed fl.07. Houses with eastern connections took May wheat at that price, checking the decline. Corn acted very well con sidering the weakness In wheat. The recent wet weather, It Is believed, will result In relatively light arrivals for a week or more. Market !Kewa.

The price of bread has been raised and this ia causing constant talk of the necessity of reducing the import duty 14 franca per 100 kilos.

Chicago, Dec. 21.—Persistent selling of wheat by the northwest and southwest in the way of spreads and hedges today led to Increased unloading by tired longs and resulted in a sharp break. The ( lose was heavy and at bottom levels. The Ohl « ago pit, it seems, is getting to be n target because of Its relative high posi tion compared with Kansua City, Min neapolis and Winnipeg. Wheat closed l*nc to l^c lower, corn to lV*c off. Oat a were **o to T4c down and iTc ruled to 1c lower While a great deal of the buying here waa credited to ahorts, houses with east ern connections were said to have sup ported the market until May dropped below $1.07. There appeared to be little incentive left for the bull hut the mar ket. met attractive buying on the weak spots nevertheless. Export business was mediocre, sales of wheat being confirmed at 260.000 bushels. December coin manifested a heavier ap pearance. somewhat accentuated by the relative steadiness In the deferred months. The latter met fairly good support on the decline. Cash corn prices were lower but premiums strong The local arrivals of corn were the lightest in several days and offerings were well taken. December oa*s dropped fast when stop loss orders were encountered. A fair re coverey was made at the close. Rye selling dribbled into the pit snd with,the buying power thin/prices gradu ally receded. Provisions closed in slightly lower ground. Lard was unchanged to 6c lower and ribs were unchanged to 2V*» down. Pit Notes. The cheapness of Canadian wheat at Winnipeg compared with our own »t Minneapolis for several months has led to unprecedented importations despite present tariff >barrlers. The bulls foe some time have pointed to the reported clearances of wheat from United States ports as representing h fair yxport busi ness and argued thp while that v«a were selling our wheat fairly fast. Accepted reports from Winnipeg say thgt there were close to 18,000.000 bushels of Canadian wheat taken into the Unit ed States for domestic purposes during September, October ami November. The December Imports ate likely to bring f*ie total close to 20,000.000 bushels. It appears, however, that these figures do not include the Canadian wheat Im ported "In bond" ground into flour in mill* here and exported as United Staten flour. The amount of Canadian wheat used In such manner Nis not known. b\lt It is reported the quantity Is large. The conclusion reached, figuring that the foregoing figures are correct is that the United States wheat has not been sold in the large amounts reported to date, and also the scarcity of choice wheat In this country in time will more than offset ; the Importations of Canadian for demestlc milling use.

P. A. Lainaon, sheriff of Pottawat tamie county and chairman of the American layrion building committee in Council Bluffs, told members of the Council Bluffs j>ost that plans now under consideration may result In the construction of an ASmerican Legion building within a year. Heretofore, members of the post have con tern plated the erection of a suitable building on an expensive site in the center of town. The new plan contemplates purchase of a tract of ground within 13 minutes' street car ride from the center of town, and the erection of a building of brick faced tile, about lOo feet square. This type of building is being adopted by the government in numerous Instances, and is economical, according to Mr. Lainaon. Cost of such a building is estimated at $3,500. The post now has about $1,700 in a trust fund and $1,800, left from one of t|ie war funds, is also available for such a purpose. Dr. Sun Protests to MacDonald By Fr<««. Hong Kong Dec. 21—Dr. Sun Tat Sen, head of the Canton government, tod*y telegraphed to . Ramsey Mac Donald. leader of the British labor party asking hlrn to "bring to the notice of the British people and par ticularly the workers, the grave situa tion which the British representatives in china mainly have been instru mental in creating at Canton.” "My government is being threaten- 4*%^ e<1 with acts of war by an interna tional force of nearly a score of cruisers and gunboats armed with soldiers, who have already landed at Shameen (the foreign section of Can ton. where the administrative office! of other nations are located.) "This is the work of the diploma; e body at Pekin, done at the instance of the British minister on advice «i the senior consular at Canton, who is the British consul general, and the inspector general of Chinese man time customs, who is a British na tional." Sun reminds the British labor lead er that >'hina. admittedly one of the richest markets for British goods, can not be secured by s gunboat policy of old diplomacy, although It can be won by a policy aiming at the capture of Chinese good will. <> anything !* carried over into th» ne^ year front the sabs already he’d.
