GENERAL ADVANCE IS RELNQU|SHED IN
 TIE STOCK MARKET
Market Prices Were Lowest In Last Half Hour, When Free Selling Resulted
 From Money Advance
By Associated Press

New York April 7-The stock marset today relinquished very considerable part of the general advance registered in the preceding days of the week, de- velopments overnight and in the course of the sluggish session distinctly favor ing the short interest
 Cables from London stressed an access sion of pessimisfn in financial circles growing out of the more ominous aspects of the British industrial situation and occasioned moderate liquidation here for foreign account including Holland.
 Domestic industrial conditions slso be- came more complicated by the decision of the railroad labor board denying the application of the New York Central rail- road for immediate provisional. reduction of the unskilled labor wage schedule. Publication of the government crop re- port forecasting the fourth largest win ter wheat yield in the history of this country, failed to stimulate the trans- portation shares. some of which, incIud- ing grangers, were considerably heavy.
 Market prices were at lowest aver ages in the last half hour when free Selung TeSull6Q rom all utl6Apecl6d vance in call money from 51a to 6j5 per cent, due, according to reports, to calling of loans by interior banks.
 Stocks most affected by the days re- versal comprised a number of industriais and ,speeialties whose earnings and div idend prospects are generally classed IS doubtful. Chief among these were the feathers and chemicals, together with nu- merous allied issues. Incidentally, Twin City Rapid Transit suffered reaction of 10 points, which more than cancelled it's gain of the previous day Sales amounted to 45O,000 shares.
 Exchange rates on London and Parts eased only slightly, Dutch Italian and Scandinavian bills hardening. Remit tapces to South American points re- flected the chaotic trade conditions pre- vailing in those countries,
 Liberty bonds were firm, as also were some of the French municipals, but most other domestic and foreign issues lacked definite trend. Total sales, par value, were s11, 900.

DAUGHTER JUMPED
FATHER WAS killed

Lockport, Ky, May 31-Fun-
eral services were to be held on
Monday afternoon for Bert L.
Douthitt, SO years old, merchant,
who was instantly killed Sunday
afternoon when his automobile
plunged over a 50-foot precipice
near Newcastle.
AS Mr.. Douthirr was driving
with his 12-year-old daughter on
a narrow strip of the River road
ffanked on one side by a 50-foot
precipice, the steering gear of his
automobile became disconnected
from the wheels. The car vcered
toward the bluff few feet away.
Jump, daughter he shouted,
The girl leaped to safety on the
verge of the cliff. The automobile
dived out of sight. Peering over
the edge of the bluff, the child
saw the motionless body of her
father buried in the wreckage of
the car. A tree in the automo-
bile'S path had prevented it from
plunging into the river only few
yards away.
A mile further, sitting by the
roadside, the girls mother, her
young sister end her great uncle
waited. The family had left the
home at Lockpot to attend Deco
ration Day services at a country
cemetery.
Two miles from town, Mrs.
Douthitt discovered that she had
forgotten her kodak. Her hus-
band decided to go back for it.
His daughter, Mary Lawrence,
asked to go back with him. The
others left the car.
Waiting in the shade, they
were startled by scream, and in
a few moments met Mary Law
renee running toward them.
"Father-over-bIuff!" the girl
said, and collapsed.
When the wreck Of the car was
reached they found Mr.. Douthitt
was dead. He was still clutchine
the steering wheel. The car had
turned several times. Nuts miss
ing from the steering gear dis
closed the cause Of the accident.
Physicians say the merchant was
instantly killed. His neck was bro
ken and his skull crushed.
He had been engaged in the
general merchandise business at
Lockport for nearly 20 years. He
had opened a store when he was
still III his teens.

Checkers Played by Nile,

Checkers is one of the oldest games played today. Sixteen hundred years before Christ was born the Egyptians were playing a game along the Nile that was essentially our game of checkers or drafts, as the British pre- fer to call it. The ancient Greeks had the game with but slight variations, and through all the intervening cen turies it has interested and enter. tained people. Some now prefer chess, another very old game, claim. ing that there is more mental work involved; but the game of checkers, simple as 1t is, presents a demand for the use of mental powers quite eqnal to those of the average person.
 hat the rules of the game have become very well established is indi- cated by the fact that Joshua Sturges's Guide to the Game of Drafts," which was first published in 1SOO is still the standard authority on all points of dis pute in the game of checkers as played today. ~

Women's Hair Price lncreases-

The price given by hairdressers for women's hair has increased enormous ly during the last 12 months. While some women in America and Britain sell their hair, the real trade in this commodity is done in continental coun- tries. Peasant girls in France, Bel gium and Italy sell their hair at reg ular periods to dealers. This hair is mostly of the fair and black variety. while most golden hair is obtained from Scandinavians.

Chouteau, then 25 years old, estab- lished fur trading station there, and later in the same year Ligueste him self arrived and laid out town which he predicted would become one of the largest cities in the country. At first called Laclede's Village, the place soon was named St. Louis In honor of Louis TX of France. For many years ChOuteau and his brother, Pierre, were we'll known as traders in the West.
