Chicago, May 31.--Excellent crop re-
ports had q decidedly beartsh effect to-
day on the wheat 1arket. According
to one authority Texas and Oklahoma
have the finest crops ever produced In
these states. 1t was said harvesting
would be started near Ardmore, Okla,
tomorrow. Opening prices, which
opened at "a cent to 8 cents lower with
July at s1.s4 to 81. were followed by re-
actions from extreme bottom figures
and comparative steadiness at 2la TO 8
cents under Tuesdays close.
Later there was q renewal of weak
ness. Heavy rains over the northwest
were said TO have insured big yields
Conditions in the Dakotas and Mime
sofa were reported as similar to those
of 1915 when the northwest raised it's
banner crop. The close was unsettled,
312 cents to 8 cents net lower, with
July at S1.9i and September at $3.50.
Corn.
Corn developed notable strength as a
result OF reports that the growing crop
was being adversely influenced by too
much rain and too little warmth. Be-
sides the rains were expected to delay
the movement OF old corn to market.
After opening q cent off to l cent ad-
vance, prices rose sharply all around.
Later the market underwent a ma
terial sag owing to reports that Euro
pean neutral countries were offering
to resell corn now at Atlantic ports.
The close was nervous at n to go

Oats.
Oats hardened III value with Corn
Field advices, however, were promis-

Provisions.
Higher quotations on hogs and corn
gave some dirmness to provisions. De-
nand, tho, was not urgent.

NEW YORK ASSEMBLY LYMEN

Patriotism of Socialist Member, Who
Opposes Universal Training.
Attacked in Debate.

ALBANY, n. Y, March 2S-After a
stormy debate. during which personal
tiles were freely exchanged and the
patriotism Of Assemblyman Abraham ].
Shiplacof. a socialist, was assailed, the
assembly today adopted a resolution
to place the New York Legislature on
record in favor OF the principle of uni
versal military training and service
as outlined IN the Chamberlain bill
which was before the last session of
Congress. Shiplacoff compared the
Chamberlain bill to a conscription law
and his position was attacked by other
members.
During g. turbulent half hour which
followed, AssemblyTnan F. A. Wells, for
msrly an officer of the National Guard
declared that Shiplacoff had the yellow
dog sort of patriotism" and at one point
asked: What's the matter with putting
this fellow out?''
Quiet eventually was restored and the
resolution was adopted with the only
negative votes being cast by Shiplacoff
and his party colleague, Joseph a.
Whitehorn.

A House That Wasn't.

Bobby Coon was quite upset. He had
been so sure that that house Of Unc'
Billy Possum's was going to be his
house that it upset him a whole lot to
find that he had been mistaken and that
he had got to look somewhere else for
a house 1t made him angry Disap-
pointment is very apt to lead to anger.
So Bobby Coon was angry. He thought
he was angry with Unc' Billy Possum,
but really he was angry with himself
for being so stupid as to forget all
about old Mrs. Possum. If he had re-
memhered her in the first place he
wouldn't have dreamed of trying to
take that house for himself. Two
against one was one too many.
But Bobby didn't let his anger show.
AS he looked up at the sharp face of
Unc' Billy and old Mrs. Possum grim
ming down at him, he grinned back and
was full of apologies, pretending that
his coming there was all mistake. lie
begged to be excused, saying that he
had got the wrong house.

sleep to make such mistake as this,
Nistah Coon. Don't do it again. be

anything like that to happen
Bobby said that that was the last
thing in the world that he wanted and
kept on apologizing as he backed down
the tree. He kept saying over and over
that 1t was all a mistake. very great
mistake, but he didn't let on that the
real mistake was forgetting about old
Mrs. Possum.

returned to him. He didn't hurry. There
was no need. That house wouldn't run
away, and he couldn't think of any one
likely to have taken possession Of it.
So he took his time, poking about
among the leaves on the ground, sniff
ing the sweet spring odors and quite
satisfied with himself and the world in
general
So at last he came to the place where
that old house had stood as long as he
could remember. Then very abruptly
Bobby sat down and rubbed his eyes.
Where was that Old tree? Everything

Where it had stood was a stump with

ALI United on Preparedness.

Cine thing which these senator's, who
favor going at a conservative pace, will
insist upon, as well as those senators
who favor an immediate declaration of
war. is that the country continue to
prepare for war so that if war does
como later the country will be ready.
The President has not yet shown his
hand to any of the senators so far as
could be learned today. Much will de-
pend upon what the President recon-
rnends to Congress, it was admitted at
the Capitol today.
II he comes before Congress and asks
that declaration that a state of war
exists there is little doubt but what it
VIII he PASSED. though it may be de-
bated and opposed in some quarters
II he asks Congress TO pass the armed
neutrality bill and make ample ap-
preparation to prepare the country for
war. undoubtedly such course will
be adopted by Congress
There will be a demand on the part
or some of the senators. of course, that
declaration of war be made without
further delay. But the feeling is the
resident will get what he asks at this
Juncture.

OF Interest TO Women
NEW SPORT FRocKs OF ROMAN STRIPES.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUSE.

Speefai Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK. March 27-Last August
the designers Of sport coats used rain
bow stripping above the hem that was
quite effective. When women kept these
garments for the proper place and the
seasonable hour one admired them. but
the reason that they did not gain un-
qualified approval was that women were
careless in their usage of them and would
put on these gay bits Of coiorfng at a
time when sedate and dignified clothes
should have been worn.
However. the Roman stripping which
has come into fashion Is more artistic
than the kind of coloring that was used
last summer. 1t suggests with so much
insistence the peasant costumery of the
Italian towns-a suggestion that clutches
at ones heart and produces mental de-
light that turns TO enchanting memories.

FOR MEASURE SIMILAR TO
ARMED NEUTRALITY BILL
Some Western Senators Think It
Would Be Far Better Than a
Declaration Of War.

The passage of a measure similar to
the armed neutrality bill which was
fiiibustered to death at the last session
of Congress is being urged as the first
step which Congress should take when
IL convenes next week.
A number OF senators from the mid
die west now in the city feel that the
prompt passage Of such a measure
would settle once and for all any ques-
ton abroad as to whether the country
was back of the President in his pro-
posal for armed neutrality and for the
armins of American ships
They feel. It was learned today that
such a course would be far better than an
Immediate declaration of war or that a
state of war now exists between this coun-
try and Germany. They believe that under
The armed neutrality plan it will be pos
stbie to protect American ships and Amer
icap lives Just as much as If this country
declared war. They believe also that Ger
many may yet give over her attacks upon
American vessels. If, however a declara-
tion Of war is made there will be no draw
