COMMON ANCESTOR TO BLAME
Unsightly apple" Is a Legacy Be
queathed to His Posterity by
Old Father Adam.

We all "have It I'm" for Adam for
shutting to our faces the gates Of the
Garden Of Eden. But many Of us,
though we may not,ln0w IT, bear q
particular resemblance 10 this com
mon ancestor that puts another chip
on the shoulder For II Is generally
conceded that an adams apple" is
no aid to beauty And besides making
Of our Paradise a cold, bare world, II
is Adam who inflicted upon Us this ad-
ditionul burden When our common
progcnltor took the fatal bite that for
ever doomed the rest Of us to exist
cnce by the sweat Of our brows, u
piece Of the fruit Is supposed to have
lodged in his throat and stuck there
i'm his childrcn's children unto the nth
generation. And that is why the
slight proturberance that some people
have at the front Of the throat Is
called adams apple" Speaking Of
ancestry, some II us carry about on
our persons unmistakable proof Of our
ancient llne0ge.-Chicago Journal

CITY PEOPLE "EASY Marks
Many Bestowed Aims on Beggar for
Whom Lusty Youth Was En-
gagged in Barking"

Since efficiency is finding its way
into all business one Of the oldest
professions" of all has begun to adopt
modern methods. The innovation is
due to a beggar who made his stand
opposite one Of the subway entrances
along the Williamsburg bridge sp-
proach on Delaney street. the New
York Evening sun states.
Many who passed this spot recently
were struck by the appearance Of this
beggar, an elderly long-bearded man,
who sat huddled up in a wheel chair.
Alongside was a husky youth Of nine
teen or so, busily engaged in barking
for the bcggar. Secretly the latter
must have thought it a good joke on
the alms-gIylng public, for there was
always a smirk on his face, as his
friend shouted so none should neglect
to drop a coin in the beggar's lap. Ills
"spicl" was in Yiddish, which, roughly
translated into English, would be:

VARIETY OF BIG IMPORTANCE
Commercial Handlers Of Fruit Must
Take Note Of Characteristics
20 Avoid Disaster

Prepared bv the United States Depart
uaut of Aeror'ure1
From Whatever standpoint one may
approach it "the variety" looms large

tori>uc>-m order that he may sup

ties have gained commercial pr0mi-
nence very largely because of their
good shipping qualities when they
were seriously lacking iu dessert or
other qualities.
The consumer does not know much
about variety names as a rule, but If
the retailer with whom ne trades
would take pains to supply always
good dessert varieties when fruit Is
wanted for dessert purposes, and good
cooking varieties when they are de-
sired for cooking. everyone interested,
from the grower TO the consumer,
would be benefited thereby. However
as a rule, by the time the fruit reaches
the retailer apples are simply
"appIes," peaches are just peaches
and pums are "pIums' without much
regard to the use for which the con-
sumer wants them. Even with such
fruits as strawberries, bIackhcrries
and the like there are variety adapta-
tiOns from the consumers standpoint
but they are not always easy
ITO give fun recognition even if one
were making an effort to do so.
To return to the grower After
careful study Of varietal Characters
tics, he orders from a nurseryman, for
example, the varieties Of apple and
peach trees that he has decided Will
give him the fruit that will best sup
ply the trade to which he is to cater.

But why have this revolving wheel

Because if your automobile is going at
the usual rate Of 20 miles an hour the
tread will be depressed for only about
one hundredth part Of a second
much too short a time for even start

at an angle so that it almost touches

cred around the officer after Lewis
was shot and threatened him. Gram

William Taylor, 1918 Pierce street,
and Mary Spencer, 1925 South Six

Error Cause of
Slump in Wheat
Farmers Charge Brokers With
Attempt to Control Market
And Threaten ''Strike."
Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wir

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, Oct. ll.-Protesting
against the drop of over 90 cents a
bushel in the price OF wheat since
July, and charging Chicago brokers
with attempting to control the mar
ket, farmers throughout the middle
west are threatening a wheat strike"
on October 25. At the same time
dispatches from Ottawa state the
Canadian government is seriously
considering taking over the wheat
market, due to the bearish move
ment.
A proclamation was issued by the
national officers of the United States
Wheat Growers association, urging
4 suspension OF sales of wheat by
farmers until the price rallies to $3.
This action was hastened by another
sharp drop in price on Friday, when
wheat declined more than 6 cents a
bushel.
This decline, it has been learned,
was accelerated, II not precIpitated,
by a clerical error of three ciphers
made by an inexperienced clerk in a
selling order on the board of trade.
Instead of selling 1000 bushels he
sold 100000 bushels.
Friday was one of the most ex-
citing of recent days in the wheat
pit The market opened at $l.oc,4,
climbed quarter of cent, then
suddenly started slipping. 1t dropped
to $l.98, then to $l.o7, and continued
falling point by point.
whats the matter?' the traders
asked each other.
Rosenbaum is selling 100000
bushels" someone replied.
The news travelled fast: "Rcsen-
baum is dumping a 100000 bushels
on the markell"
Smaller traders became active and
began selling. The price continued
downward.
I 1t hit $l.93 and then finally drcp-
ped to $l.9l for the low level of tke>
day, 94c off the opening price. Just
before the close of business it
rallied to $1.93H.
