WHEAT BREAKS WITH
MAY DEALS ASSURED
2,400 Carloads on Track in
Chicago for Delivery
Corn and Oats Higher.

CHICAGO, May 10.-Wheat broke sud-
denly to-day, almost cents a bushel for
May delivery, but later rallied. Emer-
gency measures permitting grain In rail-
road cars here to be used In settlement
of May contracts formed the only ap-
parent reason for the transient weak
ness. Closing quotations were unsettled,
at "A net lower to u advance, with May
s1.37% @1.377s and July $1.24@1.241s.
Corn gained " a lac. oats finished a
shade off to Il % sc. up, and provisions
ended from 5@7c. decline to rs
cents up.
Beginning tomorrow, about 2.4o0
carloads of grain on track here, chiefly
wheat. will be available for delivery on
May contracts. Except for leave to use
the grain in this manner, shorts would
be embarrassed by the crowded condL
ton OF elevators here, as under the usual
regulations any grain rendered in settle
ment of ordinary monthly contracts
would have to be accompanied by re-
ceipts showing warehouse storage. Sell
ing of May. which precipitated the tenn
porary downward slide of values for
that month, appeared to come from
eastern and northwestern interests, and
was of brief duration.
When the selling of May subsidized, the
wheat market rose at times to moder-
ate extent above yesterdays level, but
the strength waned later to some degree.
Bullish factors were talk OF better ex-
port demand with some sales to Ger
many, rust damage reports from Ten
nessee and Kentucky. and the belief by
some traders that the Government crop
report was less bearish than expected.
Reports of too much rain for corn
planting lifted corn and oats little.

RATE CUT PLAN SEEN
! In HARDING PARLEY
Question Expected to B,
Threshed Out in Confer
ence at White House.

Although President Harding's invita-
tion 20 sixteen railroad executives to
dine at the White House with him on
May 30 said merely that railway mat
ters'' would be discussed, the majority
of the officials invited incline to the
view that the President desires to
thresh out the general subject of reduc-
ticns In freight rates.
IL is known that the following execu-
tives have received invitations: A. III.
Smith. president of the New York Cen
tral Samuel Rea. president of the
Pennsylvania Daniel Willard. president
OF the Baltimore and Ohio; f. d. I'm
derwood. president of the Erie: Judge
Robert S. Lovett, chairman of the Union
Pacific; julius Kruttscnitt, chairman of
the Southern Pacific; Hale Holden.
president of the Chicago. Burlington and
Quincy, and Howard Elliott, chairman
OF the Northern Pacific Railway.
1t was reported that the remainder OF
the party would be made up of Fairfax
Harrison, president OF the Southern
Railway w. l.. Mapother president OF
the louisville and Nashville; b. F.
Bush, president OF the Missouri Pacific;
c. II. Markham, president of the Illinois
Central w. b. Storey. president of the
Atchison, topeka and Santa Fe; Ralph
Budd, president of the Great Northern
II. L. Byram. president of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul. and Il. ]. Pear
son. president of the New York. New
Haven and Hartford.
While several of these men declined
TO talk for publication in advance OF
fhs dinner. 1t is safe to say their ex-
pressions cf opinion on rate matters
recently probably will be reiterated to
the President. These are. briefly. that no
general rate reduction is warranted with
out a compensating reduction in rail-
way wages. application for which is
pending before the Railroad Labor
Board.
1t is known that r. M. Barton and
Ben Hooper. members of the Railroad
Labor Board, recently visited Washing
ton and probably advised the President
OF the boards attitude toward pending
wage reductions. This gave rise yester-
day to the idea that the President may
now be in a position TO assure the rail-
road executives at the coming meeting
that wages are going to be substantially
reduced by the board and to ask the
railroads to make some rate reductions
in advance of the cuts in pay.
In some quarters 1t Is believed the
meeting may have been called primarily
in connection with the coal miners
strike. 1t is considered POSSIBLE that
the President will ask ne Tailroad ex-
ccutivcs to consider q '.ction in the
rates on coal as the cor ribution OF the
lines toward a compromise settlement OF
the coal strike, to which the coal opera
tors would be asked to contribute a re-
duction in their selling prices and the
miners a cut in their pay.

The Western belt forecast was for

HAD NO BUSINESS TO BE OUT
THERE.
course no such babies had ever lived
! before. At least that is what White
foot and Mrs Whitefoot thought.
! For while Whitefoot did not
worry about them at all. Probably
Mrs. Whitefoot did. Being a mother.
she would have found something to
worry about anyway. That Is the
way with mothers. But Whitefoot
felt that they We're quite safe in that
snug little home in the built-oVer
old nest of Melody the Wood Thrush.
SO what was there to worry about?
! Now that they were big enough to
be lively and impatient to ,get out
Whitefoot found that each of the
four was a separate worry. Now, one
worry is bad enough. but here We're
! four worries and each one growing
/ every day. Mrs. Whitefoot grew thin
and every day looked more worried
1t was no small task to find food
enough for these fast-growing young
sters. She was afraid to leave them
for fear something would happen
| to them, yet she had to go hunt
for food. When she was with them
! she worried for fear they were not
igetting enough to eat. When she was
! away from them she worried twice
as much for fear they would get into
! trouble.
| One evening Whitefoot came hurry
| ing back home to find that Mrs.
; ;Whitefoot had gone in search Of
! food and the most venturesome of
| these babies was outside, sitting on
the roof of his home and staring
about with curiosity and wonder in
| his soft eyes He was a handsome
little fellow. Whitefoot's heart swell
J ed with pride as he saw him. Then
! fear clutched at his heart. That little
! rascal had no business to be out
! there. Supposing he had been seen.
! Whitefoot scampered up the little
| tree as fast as he could and sent that
venturesome youngster back into the
| house in a hurry
| But hardly was Whitefoots back
turned when another slipped out and
iup on the roof of that snug little
| house. Mrs. Whtefoot came home
and found him there and sent him
inside in hurry. He didn't like it.
f; He didn't like it bit. He was tired
! of staying in that little room. He
| wanted to get outside and stretch his
| legs. He wanted to be where he
could run and jump. So did the three
other babies. They cried and fretted
and fused. They wanted to see the
! Great World.
! Then Whitefoot and Mrs. Whitefoot
knew that the time had come when
they must take the four youngsters
! outside and teach them al. those
things which a Wood Mouse must
know in order to live long in the
Great World.
"Oh, dear" sighed little Mrs.

Habit Clinics to

NEA Staff COrrcSnnndent

BOSTON, Dec. 29.-"Fight the
crime wave exactly as we fight dis
ease epidemics."
That is the answer of DR.. l.. Yer
non Briggs, famous criminoIogist, to
the problem Of increasing murder
and lesser crime in America
In an interview with NEA Service,
DR.. Briggs, author of The Manner
of Man That Kills" director of the
Massachusetts Society for Mental
Hygiene and member of the Ameri-
can institute Of Criminal Law and
CriminolOgy, made these recon-
mendations:
Sentence criminals guilty of cap
ital crime to life imprisonment
and let science study their cases.
Establish habit clinics" in ev-
cry city for subnormal and abnor-
NAL children between 2 and : to
prevent possible future crlminality.
DR.. Briggs says punishment can
not stop crime, because it 7o4sn re-
move the cause. He cites the "haHIt
clinic" Of Boston, established seven
months ago under Dr. Thorn. as the
only agency directed toward prevent
ing crime by striking at the cause
of it,
when we fight typhoid, tubcicu-
losis, yellow fSer and similar dis.
ease epidemics,' he says. we don't
kill the people afflicted ana destroy
the germs and every bit of evidence
about them Instead, we study the
cases, isolate them. examine the
germs microscopically, and find a
serum that will cure Science strives
to kill the disease, not the patient.
why not treat crime like that?
Why kill the patient by hanging or
electrocution. and kill the evidence
with him? Hanging was originally
designed as a deterrant-a horrible
example-because it was public"
