shorts. Demand was especially urgent immedt-

than 1c from the low point of the day within
the first half-hour OF trading The tone at the
opening inclined TO be weak owing to the
poor response made by European wheat markets
to the upturn here yesterday and liberal receipts
in the Northwest Later. however shorts became
active bidders and prices advanced rapidly. An
advance Of 35c in the price OF live hogs. and
an extremely bullish market for corn were the
chief strengthening influences. A continued lively
demand for cash wheat at Northwestern mar

7 MILES
An HOUR
SLOW
Supervisors Try 1t and
Declare There Is
No Fun.

Eight miles an hour is too slow
Why, you don't know you're going al
all when you have to slow down to
eight miles an hour. I think fifteen
miles an hour at least should be al
lowed.7
Supervisor Frank Harvey is the one
quoted. He, with Supervisor Fern,
President Cooke and Vice President
Baird of the Automobile Club, had
been out spinning about the city in ex-
Governor Carter's big touring car, test
ing in a practical way just what eight
miles an hour is. And the supervise
rial committee have been converted.
They went out about noon and spent
an hour in the machine. The speedom-
eter dial pointed out the exact speed
and the committee members could
hardly believe their eyes when the car
crawled along&and the finger pointed
at nine miles fan hour.
Let her out another NOTCH sug-
gested Fern, and the speed increased
up to twelve miles. This was better,
but still the rapid transit cars whizzed
past and the dust had to be taken.
Twenty miles was better and still the
committeeman smiled in satisfaction,
especially at the thought that there
was thirty miles more an hour in the
machine. Neither of them suggested
that the chauffeur Let 'er CO." but
both looked as if they would have liked
to.
At any rate, anyone who talks about
eight miles an hour as the proper speed
for an automobile will get the laugh
from Harvey and Fern, because they

''Of course, if a man is careless he

teen miles."s
This will be the report which the

of the Supervisors on Friday.
