CLOSING THE WHEAT PIT.

When the gong sounded on Saturday
afternoon the Chicago wheat pit clos
ed its operations in futures indefinite
ly-certainly until after the war, and
perhaps for good. 1t is an era in the
life of the city which is almost as
marked as the great fire of forty-six
years ago. A story of the wheat pit
would mkae one of the most dramatic
chapters in American history. Frank
Norris touched rather deeply on the
subject in his famous novel, but could
not exhaust it. In that descending
stepped-cone fortunes have been
made and lost, tragedies have taken
place which have stirred the country,
and what happened there has often
been felt to the uttermost parts of
the civilized world. Gone are the
days when "Old Hutch" and his ilk
could corner the market and ruin the
thousands; gone are the days when
ambitious young parvenues like Joe
Letter could lose millions for dot
ing father to pay. Hereafter there
will only be cash wheat III Chicago

a GIRL SOLDIERS OPINION OF

The Women's Battalion of Death
has been honored all over the world (;

equally courageous, have Ind less
notice than they deserve. These are

GERMAN PEOPLE NEVER
THINK.

Do the German people never stop
70 think? They have been lied to by
their military despots from the start
hey were told that Germany was
forced into the war to protect itself
from its enemies. The fiction is kept
up. They have never been permitted
to to learn the truth. And yet, they
must be singularly dense if they are
not beginning to catch glimmer of
the truth. Surely the United States
did not go to war for the sake of ag-
gression. Certainly country after
country has not broken relations with
Germany with any intention of seiz-
ing upon it's territory. Even 'boche'
"a wooden head-of the lowest de-
gree of intelligence ought to be able

WHEN BEETHOVEN AND

on rudeness. To kings and princes

the child of chance.
Roman ROLAND, in his Life of
Beethoven, quotes the great musician
account of his meeting with Goethe
Kings and princes can easily

make great men or minds that rise
above the base turmoil of this world.
And when the two r:en are together

WHAT BECOMES OF YOUR RED
CROSS DOLLAR

The dollar you give to the Red
Cross may be worth anywhere from
thirty cents to five thousand dollars
1t all depends ON where it goes.
A dollar flannel shirt in one of the
great Red Cross bundles is worth
two dollars in cold cash by the time
1T reaches the wearer. And by arriv-
! ing at critical moment, when shirts
are not to be had. it may acquire an
enormous value. "Then too" says Mr..
| Howard Copeland, in the Yale Re-
view, "the value of that shirt may be
reduced lower than the provcrbial
thirty cents as when | am hood
winked by scalawag who sells it for

Mr.. Copeland has had special care
OF distributing hospital supplies since
the early days of the war. He says,

of the preceding summer, and he had

enfeebled by illness and the close air
of hospital wards, was shaking so
he could hardly speak. If he has sur
vivevd that day am sure it was
these humble garments that saved
his life. Money goes far that reach
es the small hospitals conducted by
local Red Cross branches. But the
value of the dollar reaches its high
water mark in the pathetic bcne-
vole hospital. These exist in villag-
es too small to boast Red Cross To-
Gals.
"Our task of distributing Red Cross
wares to hospitals such as these is a
very easy one. 1t is Just: Bon sor,
Monsieur lie Cure: here are some
warm wollens for your wounded men

DO ANIMALS THINK

Your dog doubtless seems sad while
you are away, and exhibits joy at
your return, but was he thinking
about you in your absence? Is he
happy only because he sees and he
smells again your old coat, or does
he say to himself as you enter the
door: "This is my master for whom
l have been grieving so long"
In her book, the Animal Mind,
Margaret Floy Washburn, goes ex-
haustiveiy into this and many other
questions. "a dog" she says, "shows
depression during his masters alb
sence, but his state of mind may be
merely vague discomfort at the lack
of an accustomed set of stimuli, not
clear idea of what he wants.
Miss Washburn proceeds to show
by number of instances that ami
mails lack the memory idea" A
dog or cat having difficulty in open
ing door will continue to have the
same difficulty every time the occa-
sion arises. They also lack the abili-
ty to remember an act which they
have seen done and later to do it.
Neither do they seem to be able to
postpone reacting in certain way
to certain stimulus. The delayed
reaction method has been employed
to obtain data on this. A light is
shown in any one of the three direc-
tions open to the animal, and it is
restrained from reaction at once, AT.
ter few seconds it is allowed to act
and if it goes in the direction of the
light where the light appeared, it is
gwen food. Almost all animals bun.
