HE'S THE TALLEsT
LEcIoNNAIRE IN AMERICA

(From the American Legion Weekly
Leo Hartley of Haskell County
Post, Satanic, Kansas, is the worlds
tallest Legionaire. That is what is
called categorical statement. II
means, members of the Legion, that
if you have any taller candidates,
bring 'em on. They must be more
than seven feet high, though, to be
eligible.
When Leo stepped onto the meas
uring dinkus that the army medicos
use to determine personal attitudes,
they had to take the top of the thing
off. The doc felt lucky not to have
to take the ceiling down. "Seven

Post. The picture of him shown
herewith was taken with XB special

chiefly in swapping pictures of the
Eiffel Tower and the Washington
Monument.
Leo is known as "Runt" Hartley to
his Legion buddies. He served with
the 237th Aero Squadron at Southern
Field, Georgia. By occupation he is
rancher. Several years ago he
travelled with a circus and for a time
was exhibited at Coney Island, New
York. But the publicity was dis
tasteful, and he returned to the
harder work and smaller pay of the
rancher.
Leo weighs $50 pounds, which is
by no means excessive for his height;
in fact, he is wonderfully proper
toned. He is not an athlete, though
he has played on local baseball teams,

ESSEX SUCCESS MAKES
POPULAR COACH BODY TYPE
Motor Boat and AeropIane Body
Builders Are capitali.ing ON
Same Name

The great popularity of the coach
type of automobile body has led to
the adoption of the name by builders
of airplane and motor boat bodies as
well. Airplane and motor boat bodies
bearing this name are just beginning
to make their appearance on the pa
cific Coast, where trials have shown
that they are proving as feasible as
their builders predicted.
Essex Motors pioneered in this
type Of body. 1t first introduced its
coach model in November, 1921. The
instantaneous success of this type
it far surpassed anything its design
ers had contemplated-led the Hud-
on Motor Car Company, its parent
concern to adopt it soon after as one
Of its stindard models. The Hudson
and Essex Coaches have been heavy
selling models right from the start,
and this demand has remained con-
slant right up to the present day, ac-
cording to Marion Mann, of the Mann
Auto Company, local Hudson-Essex
dealer and can be expected to be-
come an even greater proportion Of

the fall and winter seasons, he pre-
diets.
There is a reliability in this type
of construction" says Mr.. Mann
"that is not enjoyed in the heavier
closed cars, which, together with the
unusually attractive price at which
they are being offered insures Their
continued popularity with the gen
eral public"

He practically always gets first
base on balls, as it is nearly impos-
sible for the average pitcher to throw
a strike for him without putting the
ball over the catcher's head. His
strength is in full proportion to his
size. He never had a fight or even
got mad, but he is known to pick up
a man of average size who happened
to be annoying him and hold him
by the collar with his feet swinging
two feet above the floor until he pro-
missed to be good. Then Leo let him
down again. "Runt" is simply
great big, good natured boy, popu-

the slight annoyance Of always being
conspicuous wherever he goes. Folks

New York, September 29.-Prices of bonds. especially the foreign se- curities, reacted sharply at the open ing of today's market in response to a sharp break in sterling exchange, but they exhibited strong recuper- ative power in the afternoon, a few of the popular issues showing net gains of point or more.

More Improvement
 Shown, Says Reuiew
By Associated Press

New York. September 2se-Brsd- streets's tomorrow will say: Trade and industrial conditions very gen- orally show further improvement. Expansion in fall buying steady to higher commodity prices, a still fast CT pace in industry, employment about the most widely diffused of the year, collections better and late northern crop ripening with trifling frost damage, are among the nota- ble features of the week. Outstand- ing special features in a week which has seen some of the lateness tr the season made up for by more confident buying, are the reported heaviest purchasing of steel rails ever witnessed in one week; very general increase in buying at Drim- ary markets of all the leading tex- tiles, with important advances wit- messed in several kinds of cotton goods, raw silk and raw wool; the disappearance of the idle car from the railway records, with the largest total of 1oadings witnessed for eleven months past, and an increased coal output, this more especially visible in the anthracite branch.

Urgent Buying of
 Standard Oil on Curb
By Associated Press

New York, September 29.--The ac- tive interests showing in the meet ing of the directors of the Standard Oil of New York today was reflected in urgent buying of that stock, mak- ing it the feature of the trading on the curb exchange. It moved up IS points to the new high of 556, but reacted before the meeting adjourned without action. Standard Oil of In- diana. in which dealings were on a larger scale, ranged from 1161z to 117A. Magnolia Oil ranged from 226 to 234. There was a good demand for Vacuum Oil, which was traded, in at 524 to 533. Southern State Oil, which was exdividend, was in good demand although dealings wers on a small scale. Gulf Oil of Pennsylvania did not change it's market position and was again heavily traded in at 63 to 651s. There was only moderate amount of business in the industrial issues, because of liquidation in progress on the stock exchange, but most of the offerings were fairly well held and showed only moderate declines.

OUTLOOK WAS BAD FOR WHEAT IN PIT ON FOREIGN NEWS
4AssncIated Press


 Chicago, IL, September 29.-In- fluenced largely by changing as- poets of relations between British and Turkish forces at the Darda- nelIes, the wheat market today de- clined after an early advance. The close was unsettled. Ac to 2%c net lower. with December S1.O4 to $1.e4ls, and May s1O7ss to s1.o7%. Corn lost %@%c to 1asc: oats finished un- changed to $ O 94c off and provisions unchanged to a setback of 15c.
 Many wheat traders construed Liverpool advance as reflecting news that British forces had been hemmed in by the Turks at Chanak and were slow to allow for later adviees in- dicating Likelihood that hostilities would be averted through confer ence between British and Turkish commanders. The more peaceful view of the outlook appeared to dominate the market during the last part of the day, however.
 Owing to lack of an aggressive support, 1t took only moderate amount of selling to bring about the late decline in the wheat mar ket. Liquidation on the part of hold CTS of September delivery was feature. A difference of five cents between September and october made end of- the month ownership of Sep- tember seem undesirable, especially as primary receipts today were an- nounced as well in excess of figures last week and a year ago.
 Corn and oats paralleled the action of wheat. Crippled transportation facilities had some bearish effect on corn.
 Provisions were governed by fluc- nations in hog values.

New Orleans September 29--Momen- tarily, in the early trading today, cotton was lower, but recovertes were quick to set in and 1t was a rising market during a good part of the session, with the tone particularly strong in the late tradlng. when prices were at their highest at 20 3Sc on December and at gains over yes terday's close on the list of 41 to AS points; The close was at 20.34c for December and at net gains for the day of 4 to 70 points.
 At the lowest. prices were 22 to 70 poinss down.
