Increased selling tin an early upturn revealed that the market was without any adequate support from new speculative buyers. Fluctuations became vey rapid on the downward swing of the market and trading assumed large propor tions. The violence of the break was made worse by the execution of dis tress orders by holders whose mar gins had been exhausted and who were forced to sell out sri as In stop futher losses to themselves or their brokers. The first break today earried the market down to under $ 1.9?*. the low est level since the recent setbacks in price began. After reaching $1.87 a decided rally took place but soon the pressure became more urgent than ever and the descent to $1.85 ensued. According to one authority, the market nppeared to have Buffered a I aral.vtlr Btrokr. Miller* were te ported trying to sell back to elevators recent purchases of wheat and to be more upset over the hreaks In price than by the preceding extraordinary upturns. The crash was halted by lalk which became current that exporters were seizing the opportunity to se cure ownership of large quantities of wheat at the seaboard, wheat that Is in a position for quick shipment to Kurope. The market, however, con tinued to fluctuate. On the extreme drop, the market went !< 3-4 cents a bushel under the day's high point. Some observers were inclined to attribute the col la, «' in prices largely to the cumula tive effect of high rates of margins which were recently put into opera lion by commission houses. The en forcement of unusually high rates of margin came chiefly into play when the market was at or near its maxi mum t'op price record $2.05 7-8 a bushel, May delivery.

Queer Mrs. Ferguson. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. v-' Tonight is to be the great night of the “Reformed Adventists.” In Hollywood, Mrs. Rowen expects to lead the few faithful up to heaven. In Long Island, on the east side of the continent, a stout little man, 33 year’s old, named Reidt, calling himself “the prophet of doom,” will lead his collection of survivors up to heaven, if all goes as planned. The program is hard on the ma jority. Only 144,000 are to be saved to go up in a cloud. All the test of the ifi hundred million hu mans, black, white, brown and yel low on this earth will be destroyed. That, is what you might call dis crimination. The 144,000 destined to be saved are called "brides of the lamb.” Why a lamh should want even one bride, to say nothing of 144, 000, is a puzzling feature of^this strange world ending. But very probably the world won’t end, and the 144,000 brides will have to postpone meeting/ the lamb for some time. The pitiful feature of the whole anachronistic performance is the terror of Prophet Reidt’s four little children, called followers of the prophet. They believe the world really will end, and they don’t want to go up in a clomt Mrs. Reidt, wife of the prophet of doom, bears up well. Prophets’ wives don’t always take prophecies seriously. Japan is hipping gold to the United States in advance, the price of the yen, now 23 per cent below par. The Japanese are able, excel ing in industry inventiveness, i adaptation, rapacity for hard work. Lack of gold would not destroy in-! ternational confidence in the yen. But such lack of confidence might come from the activity of Japan’s flying machine factories. A nation turning out 500 fight-: ing flying machines a month has I some ambitious plan in mind. Failure to realize the plan would ! be disastrous to the yen, and some other things in Japan. The western mind does not un derstand Japanese thought or prej udices. This was illustrated in Tokio recently when an art loan exhibit included Rodin’s statue. "The Kiss.” The police interfered, j not hecause the figures in the statue | are naked, for nudity is not objec-! tionable in Japan where it has long; been customary for men and wo-; men completely naked to bathe in | tubs on the sidewalks. The Japanese do not kiss and consider that a very objectionable ’ custom. The police compromised finally ‘ ny puiuuK » miccii statue. permitting only those of suf ficient age and education to look at it. In this country we should put a screen around the lady taking her bath in a little tub on the sidewalk, and lot the Rodin statue stand ex posed in any public park. Norman Hapgood, writing from^' Washington, says “business now rules the nation.” Why, certainly! This is a business nation; our pow erful interests are business inter ests. Every country is ruled by its principal “interests.” Religion rules Thibet through the grand llama, and the tens of thousands of Thibetian monks. Royalty, nobility—and the cler gy ruled France in old days before the revolution. Now the bour geoisie French name for business —rules France. France has learned some hard lessons, and the bourgeoisie call* in militarism, as a big brother, t<> help watch and ward while business goes on. That's simply imitating the western American bank, where you may see standing quietly in a corner of the lobhy a man with * repeating rifle, waiting for any hold up crowd. In a grocery you find a grocer in command, in a hardware «hop it's a hardware man. In a village of beavers, it is some beaver that rules. In this country of business, of course, business rules. Mrs. Ferugson. governor of the great state of Texas, justifies the opinion of some men that women in office “are queer.” Mrs. Ferguson wants to stimulafe cotton production in Texas. Mas culine governors have had the same idea. Mrs. Ferguson offers priz for the best five-acre plot of co - lon grown in any convict camp. She selects the convict camp be cause it can be controlled and ac curate returns obtained. The “queerness” of the lady lie« in this. She offers cash rewards for superior cotton production and will pay the rewards out of her own salary. Many men in office will testify that such conduct is ex tremely queer, and also sets a bad precedent. It is suggested that income tax payers be allowed to deduct from taxable income what they have to pay doctors. If a man makes his income by using machinery he is allowed to deduct from the income whatever he has to spend to keep the ma chinery in order. The machinery used by a lawyer, merchant or mechanic is his own body and brain. If he has to spend money to keep that machinery in order and fit to earn revenue, of course he should be allowed to chargp that to “repairs,” and de duct it from income tax. And also he -hould be allowed to deduct for each year of wear and tear, a fair charge for depletion. A coal mine owner charges off “depletion"’ l>ecause his mine is worth less every year. What about the man whose mine is his brain? That also is worth less each year. i t’opv rtfchf, 1 \ Horizontal. 2. Policeman (slang ). 4. A heavenly body with a nebu lous tail. 5. The north star. 8.
