SCHOOL BOARD ATTACKED

Judge Hugo Pam PANIED the school
board for it's reckless expenditures. in
a talk before the Chicago Real Estate
Board at their luncheon yesterday
and said if more money was used to
make the schools recreation and So
.cial centers crime would be de-
creased.
Each meeting of the school board
is attended by committees from diff
ferent neighborhoods asking for bet
ter schools and more improvements, -
said the iurist. '"Their reply to these
requests is that they have not enough
money to grant them is not satisfac-
tory when one remembers the $1,000
trip to Europe and the payment of
$40 apiece for a number Of clocks the
only educational value of which is
that they tell the time in various por-
lions of the globe in relation to ours.
Milwaukee spends $4,000 for this
purpose. We should spend 100000.
About 400 out of $50 girls arrested on
the streets of New Yorw City lay the
cause of their downfall to their craE-
ing for recreation. Schools are the
agents of progress and Chicago is far
behind other cities of the U. S. in it's
educational facilities.

TO PROBE HIGH WHEAT PRICE
Convinced that the present price Of
wheat is due to Illegal manipulation,
Atty Gregory yesterday ordered a
nationwide investigation.
Dist Atty CIyne of this city has al
ready begun an inquiry into the meth
DDS of the stock exchange and is
seeking the identity of millionafres
who are believed to be buying
through dummy brokers in an at
tempt to corner the market
Yesterday wheat reached S1.453S,
the highest January point in so
years. Flour has gone up $40 a
barrel and the mixers are said to be
making $3.50 on each barrel. Arigid
probe is being conducted by the dis
trict attorneys Offices located In st.

claiming that high prices were due
more to the speculation than to the

by European war conditions, was
turned over to the attorney general.
