GRAIN

CHICAGO, May H. Unparalleled new high prices in the wheat market, reached a point today where leading houses refused outright any business that involved contract requiring deliv cry this month. To a lesser extent July also was put under a ban. After an e~trer1e advance of 112 cents, the mar ket closed unsettled IA to 9% net higher, with May at $3.1S and July at s2.49A to $2.50H. Corn finished half off to(3 3s up, oats gained 18 to 1Ss and provisions showed a rise of five to fif- teen cents.
 Tightening up of the wheat market developed almost as soon as trading opened. Denials were general that an American government officials refer ences to the possibility of the market ascending to S5 a bushel was a factor
 Material setbacks were brought about in the late trading. Chances of drastic measures by the directors of the board of trade against continued trading in the May delivery did much to induce unloading. The limited amount of cash wheat here capable of being utilized for settling May con- tracts excited much comment. As d consequence, No. Red, an ordinary contract grade, ssold as high as $40 today. whereas the previous topmost record was $3.321s.
 Corn hardened with wheat. but reacted after reaching a new high price level. Oats were bought literally on account of their wide discount ,noe. other cereals.
 Higher quotations on hogs and grain strengthened provisions.

NEW YORK, May 11.-High grade stocks especially rails, were subjected to renewed pressure in today's dull and speculative market, the selling again being attributed to impending uncer- tainties at home and abroad.

STEEP INCLINE NEGOTIATED
EASILY BY MOTORCYCLE

During the homework celebration
at Walla Walla, WASH. some time
ago, a motor car dealer erected an
incline in front Of his salesroom for
the purpose Of demonstrating the
hill-climbing abilities of certain au-
tomobiles, according to the March
Popular Mechanics Magazine. The
slanting driveway was extended
from the sidewalk curb to the cor
nice Of the one-story building at an
angle Of about As degrees. After
several machines had failed in an at
tempt to reach the top Of the in
cline. a young motorcyclist resolved
to try the feat. His machine proved
to be even more powerful than he
believed. Becoming somewhat con-
fused. he failed to stop the engine
at the point he had planned, and in

hicle selected to lead our heroes to
fame and fortune in the land of
dreams. From it's premier presenta-
ton, they have played to absolute ca
pacity business during the five sea-
sons 1t has been before the public.
The success of Mutt & Jeff is not
alone unprecedented, but almost un-
believable. 1t is not whit of an
exaggeration to proclaim Gus Hills
cartoon play the most remarkable
play in theatrical history. The play
has yielded its owner and actual
profit of two million dollars in the
four previous seasons of thirty weeks
each. Divide this equally among the
five separate and distinct companies
which have toured the United States
and Canada and you will find that
their profits have been an enormous
profit of hundreds of dollars a week.
The artistic success Of Mutt & Jeff
as an offering and the extent in
which it has placed its patrons must
be gagged according to these fig
ures. as such extraordinary returns
could not have been possible with
out correspondingly extraordinary
merit to the attraction. AS no musi-
cal comedy since the inception Of en-
tertainment Of that character has
ever before equalled this record, we
dare proclaim Mutt & Jeff the great
est ever.
It's coming to the Lyric, Tuesday,
March. 6. II you've seen Mutt & Jeff
before, see 1t again by all means,
there's a new laugh to every minute
from start to finish.

X-RAY USED TO PROVE
Boa AGE OF BOY IN COURT

To physicians connected with the
juvenile court of Cincinnati was re-
Gently assigned the unusual task OF
determining the age of lad by the
use OF the X-ray. according to the
March Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Under the laws of Ohio, boy, II
or younger comes under the juris-
diction OF the juvenile court, where
as one Is or over would be tried, on
a criminal charge, in the criminal
court. The parents of the boy
claimed that he was II, while the
physicians We're strongly Of the opin-
ion that he was IS or older. To
settle the question X-ray photo
graphs We're taken OF the bones OF
his arms and lower limbs. 1t is a
fact. well recognized by the medical
profession, that in the transition
from childhood to maturity these
bones undergo n change that is quite
distinct. The Photographs in this
case showed such development OF
bony tissue as to prove conclusively
that the boy was IS years old or over
and consequently his case was turned
over TO the criminal court.
