WEAK OPENING
TRIBUTED TO
T|NChER BILL

Chicago, May 14.-Passage of the
Tincher bill by the national house
OF representatives was generally
ascribed as the reason for weak
opening on the Chicago board of
trade today. Wheat started from 2
to cents OF with May leading the
decline. Reports of rain in some
parts of Oklahoma helped the ini-
tal movement.
Crop reports coupled with claims
OF frost in Nebraska led to buying
by commission houses and prices
started to fluctuate rapidly. Later
there were denials of Nebraska
frost damage.
May wheat opened 2 to "a cents
lower at 1.41 to 1.41ta, July being
LA to Lag. which was INC to
1hc, below yesterdays choice. Aft
er the first drops the rallies car
rled May to 1.42A, but at the end
o fthe first hour it was down again
to La.
Fresh drives continued until the
market appeared oversold and hard
rallies carried prices up to about
Yesterdays final figures. The close
saw May net unchanged at $1.43k,
to $l-43k. and July only Ac net
lower at $1.15A to s1.15h.
Corn was governed almost en-
tirely by the action of wheat. July
opened sc to 1sc lower, at 62Ac to
62Bc. September started 1ac to
NC lower at 645sc to 64Bc.
/, Corn followed wheat down slow
ly and rose sluggishly in the final
rallies. July ended &c to &c net
lower at 623sc to 621sc. September's
closing of 645sc to 64Ac was sc
to &c below yesterdays final fig
ures.
Oats followed corn and wheat
July starting sc to nc lower, at
S9@39Sc.
Provisions were firm despite the
train recessions because of opti-
mistic trade reports from packers
Opening prices were generally a
fraction higher but trade was light

ing to ~Lucille.'

Chicago, May 14-(By United
Press. 1.-The reason girls dress in
narrow knee-length skirts was re-
yealed today
The dressless sex-curious man
sits hidden behind the lingerie
counter and pulls the string that
regulates the length of milady's
skirt.
Visits to Chicago's greatest Style
setting stores today showed that
men design the styles even to the
most minute detail and that girls
have little to say as to what they
wear.
For instance, Lucille, Ltd, one of
The firms that has much to do in
originating styles. was visited.
May we interview Lucille?" the
girl behind the-hairpin counter
was asked.
Lucille was introduced. Lucille
wore salt and pepper suit. Lu-
ellie smoked cigar. Lucille was
man.
I. J. Duggan, alias Lucille, Ltd,
has much to do in setting the styles
that shock the nation.
These are the latest styles, &C.
oording to the man who helped
create them:
1.-The ridiculously narrow and
strociously short skirt is gone
where the woodbine twineth and l
sincerely hope it will not be re-
viyed until dear old Gabriel blows
his trumpet.
THE sleeveless and extremely
decollette evening gown is unfor-
tunately brit unquestionably popu-
lar and one might venture to say
that as evening gowns. they are
wonderful bathing suits.
|, Nevertheless, there are some
women who remain within the
bounds of the dignified and still
wear beautiful yet conservatively
designed evening gowns.
Now evening gowns are eight
inches from the floor.
| walking or street skirts are IL
inches from the sidewalk.
"The trend is downward. Ali new
styles show longer skirts.
! But there will always be dar.
ing women who will exploit wild
styles and exaggerate even tn.
original design"
Girls-man has spoken: let tht

PIGEONS CAUSE COMPLAINT.


What are pigeons and what can
be done about them?
These questions proved to be
quite a puzzle in the Moline police
station this morning. after two
telephone calls from citizens, who
complained and demanded that
some action be taken, were re-
ceived.
Chief Ben DeJaeger. Sergeant
Grell. Mayor c. P. Skinner and
Magistrate Frank Gustafson and
several others, took the problem
under consideration, but did not ar
rive at any conclusion.
Research work in the city ordi-
nance produced a municipal law
on fowls and some similar effort in
the police dictionary produced a
definition. But the ordinance mere
ly prohibits fowls" from running
at large. And how" asked Chief
DeJaeger. "are we going to use
that on pigeons"
Magistrate Gustafson refused to
issue a warrant against one group
of pigeons. He suggested. however,
that citizens with a reasonable
complaint endeavor to trap all pig
cons found guilty of nuisance.
