bureau Of that organization. in an
address before the class in Journal

yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Probert told Of the many mil

all without conducting the business
for profit. but merely to serve the

which it was organized and the
method Of electing directors and gen.

the history of news publications and

DISASTER INQUIRY
East Washington Associa-
tion Compliments Dr.. hewitt,
District Coroner.

Interest in the public investigation
of the Knickerbocker Theater dtsas-
ter by DIR. ]. Ramsay hewitt, District
coroner, was shown last night at a
meeting of the East Washington Citi-
zens' Association, held in East WASH
ington Hall. DIR. Charles M. Emmons,
president, said he thought the coroner
should be commended for his fair and
impartial investigation of the disas-
ter, and suggested that the District
Commissioners tender him the use
of the bOardroom in the District
building for the holding of the more
important investigations.
The coroner, DIR. Emmons asserted,
is one of the poorest-paid District
officials. His pay, it was added,
should be equal to that of the health
officer. his duties being of SO much
Importance.
Charles S. Zurhorst also paid the
coroner a high compliment for the
manner in which he conducted the
knickerbocker disaster investigation
and said he thought the District
morgue. where bodies are kept. Is
not always a fit place for the. holding
of inquests. The morgue should be
properly built and equipped, he said.
and centrally located.
DR.. Emmons' suggestions were put
in the form of motion and adopted.
The question of street improve
ments was brought to the attention
of the association by President En-
mons and discussed by c. Howard
Buckler and Charles z. Grose. DR..
Emmons said the several snOwsorms
had affected many Of the streets, leav-
ing holes in asphalt and macadamiZed
streets.
Mr.. Zurhorst called attention to the
situation at the navy yard land eX-
pressed the hope that Congress would
find way to relieve the men af-
fected.
The association passed a resolution
deploring the death of Samuel w.
Curriden. one of it's oldest members.

factory to establish its own corre-

Mr.. Probert paid a tribute to the
men who serve as reporters in Ameri,
can newspaper work. He criticised
the obsolete hat in hand method
of gathering information. and con-
demned those who referred contempt
uously to the workers as Just re,
porters." No higher compliment could
be paid than to call a man just re-
porter, he said, IL he was good one:
"Such men were the torchbearers VI

were the men who went into it as a
lifework and regarded it as a pro-
fession," he declared.

DR.. Butler said that the records of
<o,o00,000 life insurance policy holders
and of 26,0O00o0 savings bank de-
positors in this country revealed an
amazing thrift in material things, but
that the nation was in contrast, thrift
less in human values of every sort.
He spoke particularly Of the social and
political experiments proved unsound
centuries ago that were again being
agitated, exclaiming:
"Of what use is it to pile up life
insurance policy and savings bank de-
posits and go the way Of Russia :?
What protection can there be for
thrift in one field il we exercise no
care for those achievements represent
ing the thrift Of those who went be-
fore us? Unless we are sparing and
thrifty in respect to intellectual and
social and political values there can
be no opportunity in the long run to
use the results of thrift in material
things"
Raymond r. Frazier, president Of
the division, said there were three
principal means Of encouraging thrift.
He ranked first the activity in de-
veloping school savings banking, point
ing out that within two years accounts
of pupils had been built up from
|$443,00O to s1,3o5,o 900 Sound banking
laws are, in his opinion, second
essential for the stimulation Of thrift.
In support of this view he cited the
high proportion of savings accounts to
population in those states where the
laws have been most scientifically de-
vised and administered. Assistance in

markets ruled lower, with only cas-
ual interest. An early break encoun-
tered export buying, which brought
sharp reaction in the deferred
months. The December delivery ruled
heavy scattered liquidation. The
market was hardly indicative of any
material change in underlying condf-
tons. Indications point to a good

sumption during the winter and a
good deal of apprehension in regard
to the winter wheat crop which has
gone into the cold weather period in
unusually low condition of vitality.
Corn and oats received better sup
port than was generally anticipated.
The expectation of heavy receipts o.
corn has undoubtedly caused a good
deal of scattered liquidation and while
we are particularly bullish at the mo-
ment we anticipate only temporary

OF CLEAN
WHEAT is URGED TO
REDUCE CAR SHORTAGE
CBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 23-
Shipment of clean wheat to markets
by farmers and county elevators
would go great way toward reducing
car shortage and effect large savings
in the cost of transportation of the
grain, Robert B. Black, in charge of
the Department of Agriculture's grain
cleaning investigation, said today.
During the 1920-21 crop year dock
age or foreign material in wheat ship
ped to market was so great, he de-
clared that more than 1900 more
freight cars were required to haul
it to market than would have been
necessary had clean wheat been ship
ped. Minnesota grain inspection re
cords shows that last October Mime
sofa received 1882 cars of spring
wheat containing an average of Az
per cent dockage, or the equvilent of
450 cars capacity.
An educational campaign is being
conducted among pring wheat grow
ers, looking toward the cleaning of
wheat on the farms to reduce this
economic loss.

HIGH PRICE RECORDS
ATTAINED BY WHEAT
MARKET THIS WEEK
nv Associated PresO

CHICAGO, Dec. 23-Despite heavy
profit-taking sales, new high-prfce rec
ords for the season have been at
tanned in the wheat market this week.
Upturns were based largely on opin-
ions that increased purchasing soon
by foreigners could hardly be avoided.
Compared with a week ago, wheat
this morning was unchanged to 31sc
higher; corn down Ia to l Is and Y
cents; oats unchanged to 15sc off, and
provisions up 15c to &c.
Announcement of a decrease of
more than six million bushels in the
amount of wheat on ocean passage. to
gether with assertions that stocks of
breadstuffs in Europe were on nearly
a hand-to-mouth basis, had much TO do
with assumptions that export business
would be likely to enlarge before long
Sub-zero temperatures and lack of sui
ficient snow protection for the domes-
tic winter crop tended further to lift
prices, and were but little offset by
government figures implying that the
probable yield would be fifteen million
bushels in excess of a corresponding
estimate II months back.
1t was contended by some authori-
! ties that the most weighty part of the
government report was the fact that
except in two cases the present con-
dition of the winter crop is the lowest
on record. However, bullish senti-
ment was a good deal modified by vir-
tual stoppage of talk about a loan to
Germany and by slowness of steps
toward enactment of farm credit and
foreign credit bills at Washington.
Holiday conditions acted as a further
restraint on buyers as the week drew
| to an end
