small city on the big island, when 10.

where Roberts was. The local man did

who did put up joke on the Austral-

the corner was very good player,
who might be able to give him few
points. The provincial was nothing
loath and requested Roberts to play
game of 100 with him. Roberts replied
that he would be pleased, and as to
handicap he said he would reserve the
right to fix that after he had seen the
local man play his first stroke. This
offer was considered a somewhat
strange one by the challenger, but he
accepted it and opened the game with
a miss. Roberts then said: 81 will give

with an unfinished break of 100.

MAY WHEAT DEAL OVER
SLUMP OF FIVE CENTS

Chicago, April 22.-The celebrated
deal in May wheat attributed to John
W. Gates, received seemingly its death
blow today. Possibly as much as
100000 bushels for May delivery
was dumped. AS a result there was a
break of 5 cents a bushel in the price,
the quotations for May falling from
$1.13 IL to $1.0S r. Some operators
professed an opinion that the slump
was due to heavy eastern holders Of
May wheat unloading because of not
able unrest in the stock market, the
alleged purpose of the sellers being
to get free to protect securities in
Wall street. A much more prevalent
belief. however, was that Gates, tir-
ing of the burden, had shifted the
May wheat deal to Armour and others.
One thing was said to be certain,
that Gates had sold tremendous guam

titles today through at least one house
here. When the price of May wheat
fell under S1.1O commission people
poured wheat out on stop loss orders.
This caused breath-catching slide
to $1.081s. The total sales of May
were estimated all the way from
100000 to 100000 bushels. While
the bear turn was on in May the
Armour people were supporting July

eral rains. 1t was argued that Ar
mours enormous buying for July was
for the Gates crowd, either covering
heavy short sales, made from $1.01
down, or possibly going long for the
Wall street dealer At the close of
the session May jumped back to $1.10,
leaving the net decline for the day

woman leaned her head on the mans

around to a rear pocket and drew a

WHY ONE is SLEEPY.
Many hypothesis Are Advanced BY
the Scientists.


the Scientists.
Scientists disagree as to the cause
OF drowsiness Some curious and re-
markable reasons are assigned for the
desire everybody has for sleeping. 1t
Is attributed by some people to an
accumulation in the system of the
poisonous products of the wear and
tear Of the body during the day.
There seems to be some measure of
truth in this, for in many diseases
the patients are often sleepless. An
other hypothesis Is that the nerve
cells of the brainu dwell apart from
each other, as 1t We're, during sleep.
The brain is composed of millions Of
tiny bodies called cells, each having
several delicate prolongations, or
branches, for the purpose of communi-
eating with other cells. When the
brain is fully active all these cells are
in contact, or ready to be in contact,
with one another; but the time &C.
casionally comes. it Is thought, when
the branches Of all the cells curl up,
and their isolation means that COM
plete communication between the
cells ceases. The state Of body and
mind that follows is what we call
sleep.
The most probable explanation Of
sleep, however. is that in some way
or other the internal condition Of the
cells is changed, partly from exhaus-
ton and partly because Of diminished
stimulation from other parts Of the
body.
