GRAIN
Chicago Board of Trade.

Chicago, July 11.--Reports OF
railroad embargoes against coun-
try loading of grain had much to
do with sending wheat upward in
price today. and so likewise did
reports Of wet weather delay of
harvesting. The wheat market
closed firm. 25sc to 3 lac net high
err, with September s1.14k to
$1.14A and December $1.16% to
s1161a. Corn gained &c to 1c to
1Ac; oats &c to 1c and provisions
&c to 32c.
July delivery led the advance in
the wheat market, shorts In that
delivery showing particular anxiety
lest embargoes would render diff
ficult the filling of contracts for
supplies In Chicago this month.
Continued heavy rains interfering
with threshers appeared to intens-
ify this anxiety. and buying here
was further stimulated as a result
of Minneapolis messages telling of
an urgent eastern demand for
wheat for quick shipment. Coun-
try acceptances on bids for wheat
to arrive here were practically zero
and receipts here were below last
years figures.
With the government crop report
construed as bullish. foreign ex-
change rates improved and Liver
pool wheat quotations showing a
sharp rise, talk OF slowness of eX-
port business failed to check the
upward swing of the market, and
traders ignored also assertions that
English buyers were cancelling
purchases. Besides, favorable crop
advices from the spring wheat ter
ritory were given but meager at
tention. Buying at the last was
of character which suggested that
big shorts were covering.
Corn and oats assembled In value

MIR. METAL MIKE

An uncanny new Invention, known as Metal Mike, Is
perfected by Elmer A. Sperry, the marine inventor.
Metal Mike is an automatic ship steering device. L
looks a lot like a street car motorman's control box. Hook
it to a ships wheel and it steers six times more accurately
that the best human wheelsman.
The JMofet, largest tanker Of the Standard Oil fleet, re-
Gently made a 4000-mile trip in which it was steered almost
continuously by'Metal Mike.
If the ocean waves twist the ship off her course, Metal
Mike instantly detects the deviation from the route mapped
GU. inside him before leaving port. Automatically Mike whEis
the steering wheel and corrects the ships course.
When you have a device like Metal Mike, by which a
ship can practically steer itself from San Francisco to Hong
kong, you have about the nearesthuman piece of machinery
ever made.
It's enough to have made a skilled navigator like Christie
pher Columbus drop dead from fright.
1t makes you wonder, is there any work we do that
eventually will not be duplicated by machinery
Metal Mike, of course, lacks judgment, the most i'm
portant quality of a human pilot. That is, Mike can steer
a ship to destination-unless another ship gets in the way.
Still it would not be impossible to improve Mikes cog
wheel brain SO that, nearing another ship, he automatically
would steer away from it.
This would be just the reverse of the selenium torpedo,
which automatically pursues its prey, no matter how many
twists and turns are taken in the attempt to escape.
We recall an automatic man" that years ago toured the
country in cheap vaudeville houses. 1t walked. 1t bowed.
1t did many stunts. Its operator opened its coat, displaying
a maze of machinery visible inside through a glass.
ALI went well until a woman, crafty in her knowledge OF
masculinity, showed a hatpin into the automatic mans leg.
His career ended with a howl.
But, at that, we wouldn't be surprised to wake up one of
these marvellous days and find a genuine automatic man
strutting the streets and possibly running for political office.

THE REFEREE
(By Albert Apple)

Slower
The eight-hour day, established
throughout Germany early in the
revolution, is attacked by DR.. O..
Hoffman,, German business writer.
He says hat the eight-hour day
over there has reduced the average
workers output is per cent. So,
concludes Hoffman, bang goes the
theory that as much, work car be
done in eight hours as in nine or
len.
Hoffman, is wrong. German pro-
ductiveness has been decreased, not
by the eight-hour day, but by the
gloom of defeat and the knowledge
that to work harder merely means
more money for indemnity. That is
human nature.
Coincidence
National City Banks market let
ter makes this comment on the
claim by Hoffman,, German econ
omist, that German industrial pro-
d~uctiveness has dropped Is per cent
under the eight-hour day:
These figures have a curious CO.
incidence, for they are exactly the
figures for the annual (~reparations)
payments fixed by the London ulti-
matum Of May 1, 1921
Is it a case of premeditated coin
cidence, as we'll al a subconscious
reluctance to pay up?

Philadelphia, barring unexpected

houses, famed as homes of Ben
Franklin and Edgar Allan Poe.
Some think 1.-THE Raven" was writ
ten in the Poe house. The other
dwelling is where Poor Richard
lived when he arrived from Boston.
So it goes all over the country,
little respect for historical relics,
especially old buildings. Ford has
the typically American idea-that
today and tomorrow are the really
important, yesterday is gone and
might as well be forgotten.
Luckily, the destroyers cannot
tear down 1.-The Raven" or Ben
rranklin's homely philosophy.

Explorers bring word that girls
on Neu-Pommern Island, in the
South Pacific, are confined in cages
when three years old and kept there
until marriage. The cages are in

Woman's fight through the cen
turtles has been to get out of her
cage. Most of the bars are torn
down now, in America. If the law
of reactions holds true, men event
ually may have their turn at being
Gagged. The oaging process is well
under way. Volstead contributed d
few bars.

GOOD AMERICAN DOCTRINE

The revolt against government regulation of practically every
thing under the sun was shown in more ways than one in the recent
election. 1t is plain that the people of New Jersey, at least, do
not want such strict regulation of what they shall drink. In
Massachusetts at the recent election a referendum vote was taken
as to whether or not the act passed by the legislature providing
Tor censorship of motion pictures, should or should not be the
law. There were 545,919 votes against censorship and 217476 Ia
favor Of censorship, a majority of 33S,443 against.
This Massachusetts vote is significant. There is reason to be
,ieve that the great majority of the people in the country are be.
somirg sick and tired of so much government. The founders Of
This nation had the idea of freedom ever before them. They had
inst been oppressed by the British crown and they were for hav-
ing as little government as possible compatible with a national
existence. Gradually we have built up a great system Of boards
and commissions, both national and state, that go to the extremes
IA authority. The people are showing signs of resentment. They
want less government and more Of their old-time liberties. 1t is
good American doctrine, after all.

@. How did Thanksgiving Day
originate? E. B. c.
A. The origin of Thanksgiving
Day may be traced back through
the ages and the nations to the land
of the canaanites from whom the Is
raelites copied many of the Gus
toms. The harvest celebration ap-
peared later among the Hebrews and
was called the Feast of the Taber-
nacles. The harvest festival in
Greece was celebrated in November
in honor of Demeter, the Goddess
of Harvests, while the Romans wor-
shipped this harvest deity under the
name Of Ceres. In England this
festival was called 1.-THE Harvest
Home and its origin may be traced
back to the time of the Saxon occu-
patton. However, the first harvest
festival in America was held by the
Pilgrims in 1921 and little by little
the custom spread until in 1865 it
became a national holiday proclaim
ed by the President and proclaimed
by the governor of each state.
@. How much royalty does a per-
son get on an invention? j. G..
A. Royalty on an invention is a
matter to be determined between the
patentee and tn licensee. There can
not be a fixed rule. From 1 per cent.
to 5 per cent of the selling price
appears to be the usual rate of re-
turn in royalty matters.
@. Does a first class elevator gain
full speed between floors? G.. A. w.
A. This would depend on the full
running speed of the elevator; and
distance between floors. If by the
term a first class elevator a mod
ern high speed elevator (500 feet
per minute or over) is meant it may
be safely assumed that it does not
attain full speed between two sue
cessive floors If of the average
height-12 to Is feet.

called for Julius Caesar? J. T. S.
