Chicago wheat SHORTS
face DELIVERY DEMAND
Filling of Orders Will Be Difficult. |,

(By the international New. Service, :,

N.1
Chicago, Aug. 2.-Shorts in September
wheat at Chicago face losses The open
interest in that month is many times
larger than the stocks Of contract wheat
held here.
Shorts will either be Obliged to go
into the pit and bid prices higher and
higher, or they will have to send agents
into the country and make purchases OF
the actual wheat, bring it to the Chica GO
market and deliver it on contracts
Those in the wheat market who are
long the September future will demand
delivery of the wheat. and 1t is expected
that instead OF the milling demand fall
ing off, it will become broader.
In this case there will be further ad-
Vances of the spot articles.
1t has been said that farmers have
sold freely of cash corn and that country
elevator concerns have also sold freely
for ten. twenty and thirty days ship.
ment This corn will soon make its ap.
pearance at Chicago. and will in a large
measure, be sent out on export or east.
ern orders. Former estimates on corr
have been reduced. and unless there are
heavy rains in some sections and the
drought is thoroughly broken up there
will be further crop losses.
Both export and domestic buyers OF
oats have taken hold literally of the
cash articles and this has been the sus,
tanning power in that market
The trade in hog products has switched
largely to lard. Some Of the export con-
Germs have bought that commodity freely
and II Is being sent to Great Britain via
Canada. The trade in meats on export
account and the domestic demand fol
both commodities is reported as active.

scaverns toward which we were be-
ing carried. Even with the smart
OF the spray burning our eyes, we
could peer into the terrible darkness
and visualize the horrors of being
held by the current under the rocks
and slowly dashed to death by the
booming waves.
Just as / felt Mr.. Lockwood's grip
on, my arm loosening and my own
pulses weakening, the rope was dam
gled before us. With one tremen-
dous effort l swung out and caught
hold. of it. Then Mr.. Lockwood S
hands closed over mine and we felt
ourselves being dragged through the
waters toward the shore.
It was several days before we
cold go to work again, as the taxi
ing of this picture had followed my
long illness in the hospital, and l
was still frail from the many weeks
in bed.

tioners, he was the leading man with

Mr.. Monney, formerly speaker Of the

very much less than the combined Re

Chairman Wilcox received word from
William T. Chaplin. OF the Wyoming
Republican committee like this: Cover

NO INCREASE COMING
in TEXTBOOK PRICES
Publishers Will Bear Additional Cost
of Paper.

There will be no increase in the price
OF school books in Washington this fall,
despite the enormous advance in the cost
OF paper, according to r. Carter Ballan-
tyne, Of the firm Of William Ballantyne
& Sons, booksellers and stationers, situ-
ated at 14Oe street northwest.
Notwithstanding the fact that paper
has SCARED between 3 and 100 per cent
IN price during the past few months"
said Mr. Ballantyne last night. there
will be no increase in the cost OF text
books in Washington this fall This does
not mean that book prices are unaffected
by the abnormal paper situation. It
merely means that textbook publishers
are to stand the increased cost Of produc-
ton themselves, instead OF shifting the
burden to the shoulders Of school pupils
and their parents.
This does not necessarily mean that
the publishers actually will lose money
on their sales but 1t does mean that
their prohts will be cut enormously and
in some cases will almost be wiped out.
But actUated by altruistic motives. the
publishers have decided that the burden
can better be borne by them than by
those persons struggling hard for an edu-
cation.
"Our firm has contracts for furnishing
a large portion OF the books used in the
public schools OF Washington and our
past years.
Indeed. prices have not yet advanced
on any Of the classes of books sold in
Washington. But such an advance Is
bound TO come and probably will come
very soon. While no formal statements
yet have been issued by publishers, 1t
generally is understood that prices on all
kinds OF books will advance approx
rnately 10 per cent. These new rates will
become effective when the fall stock OF
books is placed on the market-in Octo-
Der and November.
1T is not likely that the increased
cost Of books will decrease to any ex-
tent the demand. Most persons who pur-
chase books are Of the middle and
higher classes. While not necessarily
wealthy they have moderate means and
unGSIestionably would be willing to pay
the increased cost of about 10 per cent.
The demand for books has not les
sened so far in the slightest In fact, 1t
is a little brisker this summer than
usual With respect to our own firm, the
increased trade may be due TO our new
location. but I understand that the con-
dition is a general, and not a local, one.
The higher prices for books, when
they come, will remain until long after
the war is ended. This is because the
war primarily is responsible for the pa
per shortage and the consequent rise in
price. Formerly We received most of
our raw material. our wood pulp. from
Canada This source has been shut off
since the war. Then. a great deal of
paper I understand, is being shipped to
South American countries. which former
ly depended upon the central powers Of
Europe for their supplies And in addi-
tion. the demand for paper now Is unus-
uaIly large. This Is due to two causes
the use of more paper by newspaper
-
prompts paper consumers to purchase
much more than they Immediately need
for the present with the hope that prices
are lower now than they will be later.

NEW NAVAL BILL MAY
REVOLUTIONIzE SUBS
Submergibles to Have Oil Propulsion,
No Storage Batteries.

Contained in the big naval program Is
an appropriation for s25o,0oo which may
revolutionize submarines. The clause
provides for the purchase OF subma-
rine equipped with the ''Neff system Of
submarine propulsion" This system Is
distinct departure from the methods
of propulsion now in use. 1t diepenses
which have been the source Of much trou-
bic and many accidents on board the un,
derssa boats.
1t Is the general opinion of navy off,
GERS and OF submarine authorities that a
substitute for the battery system Is bad
ly needed, and that such an improvement
will add greatly to the safety, reliability
and efficiency OF submarines.
Three years ago an experimental boat
of this type was built and tested on the
Pacific Coast. and the Navy Board under
which the tests were made. reported to
Secretary Daniels that 1t not only dis
pensed with the storage batteries and
gave improved ventilation. but was capa-
BILE of producing much higher speeds than
had been practicable with other types of
submarines. The following is an extract
from the boards report:
'As a result OF the runs made the board
considers that the ventilation Of the oil
engines, while submerged. both at rest
and under way, was satisfactorily demon
strated. The ventilation OF the boat un-
der all conditions was found to be excel
lent. The action OF the propellers as To-
Gated on either side near the bow was
shown to improve the control OF the boat.
and thus will no doubt lessen the ten
dency of the boat TO dive at higher
speeds. 1t was noted that during the
run very little manipulation of the div
ing rudder was necessary to maintain
control OF the boat. and, further, when
the boat was trimmed by the head the
action Of the propellers while going
ahead overcame the trim and brought
her up by the head to a marked degree.
The board believes that the method OF
populsion Notwithstanding the loca-
ton OF the propellers-is capable OF pro-
ducing much higher speeds than has here
tofore been practicable with other types
OF submarines. especially under sub
merged conditions.
The distinct features OF this type OF
submarine" the report said. ARE the
elimination Of the storage battery for
propulsion, the location OF propellers for
ward and the improved ventilation. In
the experimental boat all these features
were satisfactorily demonstrated. but
otherwise the boat is in an experimental
state and not suited at present for naval
purposes"

the role. He was tall and broad

Hearts Adrift"
The cliffs rising out of the water
at the edge of the island where we
were working were almost preci-
pices, so steep were they, and in
many places the tides had beaten
so many years against them that
caves had been washed in their base.
You who have seen the picture
Hearts Adrift" will remember the
scenes where l was playing the part
of half wild girl who had been
washed ashore from the wreck as a
child, when Mr.. Lockwood, the ship
wrecked society man, discovered me.
Eager in his loneliness to find out
who the other inhabitant of the
island was, he followed me as
raced over the rocks to the cave
where l was supposed to have found
protection from the winds and
storms all these years.
1t was dangerous work-some-
times the spray OF a great wave
lashing against rock would leave
little slippery pools of Shiny water,
making dangerous footballs as we
fled over them. Two or three times
we slipped and came perilously near
falling, while the director, Mr. Por-
ter, called out his warning. But as
the days progressed and we got
more used to scampering over the
rocks in our bare feet. grew bold

into the water.
Mr.. Lockwood, who was follow
ing close at my .-eels, realized the
danger l was in, for only the day
before he had tried to swim near
the shore and was horrifcd to find
that the current swept him toward
the caves under the cliffs. Calling
at the top Of his lungs he warned
me to try to get hold of the smaller
rocks until he could swim out to
my rescue But the current beat me
against the stones and Il found that
the barnacles on them had made the
surface too slippery for me to catch
firm hold.
Mr.. Lockwood, realizing l was
being swept nearer and nearer to
the caves, plunged into the water
close to me. For ten minutes we
battled ferccly as we felt ourselves
ebbing into the yawning mouths of
those caves, from which there was
little hope of ever being rescued.
Above us Mr.. Porter. the camera
man, and the rest of the company,

rope to lower, but already l was
beginning to feel faint and drifting
into Inconsistencies. The great
