SCOUTS PUSH OUT
TO HUNT FLYERS
Daniels Sends Instructions to
Send First Reports to
Department.
By the Assoeia ted Press.

by Ine ASSOcldteo PresS.
COCHRANE, Ontario, January T.
Scouting parties, composed Of yeter-
an trappers. Indians and newspaper
correspondents. today were pushing
along various circuitous trails north
ward in the hope Of intercepting the
three United States naval baIloonists
who are trekking back to civilization
from Moose Factory. where they land
ed twelve days ago after a hazardous
fight from Rockaway, NY.
Lack of actual knowledge of the
aeronauts' progress and Impotence
their thrilling drift through stormy
clouds and Of their heroic battle
against cold and starvation, after
landing, led the scouting squads to
follow up their several speculations
regarding the route chosen by the Of
fcers' Indian guides. 1t was gener-
ally agreed here today that. barring
unforeseen trouble. the balloonists
should arrive by tonight at either
Clute, Mattice or Cochrane.
State OF Expectancy.
Postmaster w. A. Goulding at Ciute.
was in such q state of expectancy all
yesterday afternoon and last night that a
party set out from there early this
morning, fully confident Of meeting the
southbound party without going far
afield. The failure Of the baloonists to
arrive last night did not shake his con-
fidence that Clute was chosen as the
destination Of the Indian guides.
The special Pullman car for news
paper correspondents, however, was kept
here, with steam UP, ready to rush to
any point reporting the aeronauts' ar
rival. Many men here acquainted with
the north country still cling to the be-
lief that either the MaSSanibi or Abitibi
river trails were chosen. The former
would bring the party out at Mattice
and the latter terminates here.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels said
today he had forwarded instructions
by wire to the commandant OF the
Navy aviation station at Rockaway
Beach, N. Y. to notify the three bal
loonists as soon as possible to send
n full and detailed account OF their
Experiences by wire to the Navy De-
the receipt of this message. Ii will
be released to the newspapers, Mr..
Daniels said, and after that the avia-
tors are at liberty to discuss with
other newspaper men their expe-
riences.
The Secretary made the above state
ment today in reply to reports that
nv his order he had placed a virtual
"gag" on the aviators. Such Is not
his intention. he stated. although the
officers are forbidden to discuss for
publication their experiences until
efter the receipt of their telegram to
the Navy Department in Washington.

TOXIC IN FURRY OVER
Barring OF BIG GRAFT |

TOXIC, Jan. 5.-(By Henry Kinney,
u p. Staff THE city
of Toxic has been excited by the dis
covery of widespread graft in the mu-
ncipal government Numerous arrests
have already been made and the police
say that many more will follow. Cap
tain Shiroki, chief of the criminal in
vestigation section of the police, says
that he feels certain that there is not
single municipal enterprise in the
Japanese capital which will not show
irregularities.
The investigation so far has concern
ed itself mainly with the street inn
provement and sewer departments of
the city government. The persons ar
rested include number of officials
and contractors. 1t has been found
that exorbitant sums have been paid
by certain officials for the gravel which
is the principal material used in roau
and street construction, large bribes
baving been given freely by groups of
contractors. Graft was shown in the
construction Of the new great Meiji
shrine. opened with great pomp in
comemoration Of the late Emperor.
This made a great impression on the
people, who feel that at lea% that en-
terprise should have been immune.
In Japan which like most other
countries in the Orient is the home oil

presents which would be termed graft

Speculative Issues Take
Prominence in New YORK

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Speculative
ISSUES were the prominent features OF
tuesdays stock market, their variable
strength, which probably proceeded
irom pool operations, afforded a strik-
ing contrast to the irregular or slug
gish tone of seasoned shares.
me heavy tone Of rails was dis
tinct disappointment to traders who
had hoped that the January reinvest-
ment inquiry and enlarged transporta
tion earnings would make a marked
impression on that quarter of the list
News of the day was of the same
confusing character. although not
lacking in constructive clements. Ex-
change on London was strong, a mod
crate recovery was reported In the
price of refined copper and partial re.
sumption of activity was announced
from industrial centers where stagna-
tion recently ruled.
These developments were neutralized
to an extent by more bank failures
at western agricultural points, further
price cutting by Independent steel pro-
Gueers and additional wage reductions
in the textile ana affiliated trades.
Oils and shippings. as typified BY
Mexican Petroleum and Atlantic Gulf
were the chief reactionary features.
Mexican petroleum made an extreme
reversal Of nearly ten points and At
lantic Gulf replaced four point de-
cline to new low record with net
gain of l 3-4 points. Much of the re-
bound in the final dealings was
ascribed to short covering. Sales
amounted to S35,000 shares.
No perceptible relaxation of money
rates was shown, although offerings of
time funds were more liberal.
Trading in bonds was again only
moderate. but the trend was unmistak-
ably upward. many speculative issues
participating with representative Of
ferings. All the liberty and victory
flotations closed at gains. Total sales,

Too Rapid Wheat Rise

CHICAGO, Jan. s.--Wheat declined

from the sudden preceding big ad-

Corn lost to l&c and oats is tols

led from lOc recession 10 like ad-
vance.
1t was a generally accepted opinion
in the wheat trade that the upturn in
values yesterday had been too rapid
and that the time was opportune for
longs TO realize profits. Besides, mill
ing demand appeared to have dlmin-
ished and there seemed to be a pause
in export buying. Gossip was current
also that the Egyptian government
would try to resell 1900, ,0OO bushels
OF wheat that had been contracted for
in Australia. Action of the house of
representatives at Washington making
certain the revival of the war finance
corporation had but little effect on
prices, having evidently been discount
ed yesterday. on the other hand, con-
siderable bearish sentiment as to all
grain, including wheat, was generated
by heavy receipts of corn.

COST Of BREAD MAKES
PROBLEM FOR ITALIANS

ROME, Jan. 5.-(A. P)-The Ital-
ian government is facing an almost
unsolvable problem in the question Of
the cost of the nations bread. Dur
ing since the war the price of
bread was kept down artifically, the
government paying $4,000, 600, ,O0G
and even lately s1,250, 900, 900 yearly
as the difference between the actual
cost Of the flour and the price paid
by the consumer.
The price of kilo (2 Is pounds)
OF ordinary bread used to be equiva-
lent to nine cents, or of finer quali-
" II or IL cents; now the. price for
the same quantity of inferior bread
Is II cents kilo, and the Italian
working classes utterly refuse to pay
the balance which would increase. the

girl who is not considered decent.
She runs in a crowd that is even
worse than she is. l am afraid
this boy will be Influenced by her
and the crowd. Can you tell me
what | can do to make him under
stand what they can do to him? He
is much different already and it is
not his nature to be that way, as
he has been brought up by the best
of parents. 1 like him well enough
to do anything possible to help
him and make him different
know he likes me as a good friend
and has a great deal of confidence
in me. Please advise me what 1
can do to help. BODY NJ
The outward appearance usually
expresses the inner self. Many
people with very ugly faces have
beautiful souls, but in spite of the
face there is a light in the eyes, a
charm about the manner or a
something which reveals the char
acter of the person to a careful OBJ
server.
If you look hard" you should
begin with your thoughts and put
out of your mind all that is I'M
worthy and lacking in sympathy.
By hard" 1 presume you include
tough. You should do everything
possible to counteract such an ap-
pearance. Let your hair grow long
and be conservative in your dress.
The new and extreme styles should
be avoided. If you really try, you
can overcome the appearance which
bellies what you want to be.
Do not interfere in matters which
concern the 10y and not you. You
could not influence him and your
advice would be resented.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Last sum-
mer a cousin of my husband
came to visit us for a week and
she brought her four children with
her. I did everything I could to
make it pleasant for her, but with
so many people the work became
confused and at times l could not
go away from home when she prac-
tically insisted upon it. 1 do my
own washing and ironing and
even gave up that work. but my
efforts were not enough. She
