THE PRICE OF WHEAT.

Later reports as to the worlds
wheat supply, from our government
Bureau of Justice, show that at the
present time there "is no serious cause
for alarm" As matter Of fact, in the
twenty largest wheat producing ma
tons, the 1921 crop is estimated as be-
gin some hundred million bushels
larger than last year. Presenting that
these figures are fairly accurate, there
seems no reason to anticipate a big
increase in the price of wheat during
the winter. The market Is strong at

PARIS, Feb. 22.-New demonstra-
tions are being made before a Sc
lect circle of savants at the geo.
graphical institute by Miss Marie
Wolf. famous psychotelepathist.
Miss Wolf has been puzzling science
by her apparent unerring ability to
read the future as we'll as the past
from star messages"
In her newest demonstration Miss
Wolf declares to the astonishment
of the savants, that she has learned
from the stars that Clemenceau is
the reincarnation of Robespierre
and that Joseph Caillaux was Simon
the inventor of shoes. She declares
that Henri Beghon was once Sir
Isaac Newton and that Cecile Sorel
was one time the favorite actress of
Louis XIV.
Miss Wolf claims for herself a
cousinship with Cleopatra and that
since that time she has been rein
carnated five times. She predicts
that the second coming of Christ is
close at hand and that he is to be
born at Montmorency. following
which there will be a great religious

INTEREST EVINCED
OVER SECRETARY
Society Here Discusses Ap.
pointment of Aide to
Mrs. Harding.

Great interest among social cir
cles in the Capital is displayed in
the selection of a. social secretary
for the White House under the new
regime. Mrs. Harding Is not known
to have made the appointment as
yet, but three or four names are
figuring in the gossip.
The best bet seems to be Miss
Kathleen Lawler. who has been act
ing as Mrs. Harding's secretary.
Miss Lawler has never had any pre-
vious experience as social secretary,
but is very familiar with national
politics. She has been an expert
court reporter for years, and as such
has reported the last three Of the
national political conventions. g.
Last year she served as secretary
to Senator Fall, and also reported
many hearings before Senate COM
mfttees. Miss Lawler was with the
Hardings in Marion all summer and
also since the election. having ac-
companied Mrs. Harding on her trip
to Washington.
Miss Laura Harlan. who Is also
being talked Of as social secretary
to Mrs Harding. has had quite a
dinerent experience. Daughter of
the late Justice John L. Harlan of
the Supreme Court, Miss Harlan
spent her girlhood in Kentucky and
many later years In the National
Capital. Since her fathers death
Miss Harlan has served as social
secretary to many prominent wom-
en-, including the wife OF the British
Ambassador.
The third name most frequently
discussed in connection with this
post Is that Of Miss Georgina. Todd.

the state and city officials receivea

While Paris announces that mill

French moved into Frankfort, their
areas were jammed with reserves
for a week. This year there is lit

traffic between the French areas
and unoccupied Germany.

CELEBRATE BIRTHDAY WITH
OYSTER ROAST.

washington's Birthday was cele-
brated in a manner not soon to be
forgotten at Rosemont Farm, Rock
willie, at the annual oyster roast at
which Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Bradley
were the hosts. Since all the old
fashioned customs once prevailing
in Maryland were observed, the
feast was spread in the big barn.
which was decorated with greens
and vines for the occasion. Long
tables were spread to accommodate
the 100 guests. most of whom were
from Washington. although Balti-
more and nearby places contributed
other favored friends.
Although the snowy roads made
motoring difficult, there were no
last-minute regrets and a gay party
was received in the hospitable house
exactly on time, at 1880, for no one
apparently wanted to take any risk
Of missing tho oysters as they were
carried hot from the Goals to the
tables.
After all the formal dinners and
luncheons of the season this unique
entertainment proved to be delight
full in its real novelty. The drive
through the snow along the coun-
try roads gave everyone an appetite
and sent even the most jaded man
or woman homeward refreshed and
rested.
