Questions Answered
1. @. How much money did An
drew Carnegie devote to library en-
dowment?
A. Carnegie endowed 2,811 libra
ries with total of $60,364,S0S.
2. @. Can a caterpillar sting?
A. The caterpillar does sting, and
it is found that it's netting hairs
may be blown through the air, lodge
on a person and produce a rash.
This accounts for the stings people
often receive when there has been
no contact with caterpillars.
8. @. What is the origin of the SUI
perstitious fear of tWo-dollar bills,
and why is the corner torn away?
A. There is no national nor uni
versal superstition regarding the
two-dollar bill. Probably the treason
it is considered unlucky is that 1t is
easily mistaken for one-dollar bill.
Tearing the corner off makes II
more conspicuous and not so likely
to be paid out instead of one
dollar bill.
4. @. Is there such thing as a
black rose?'
A. The department of agriculture
saws that there is a tendency among
some rose growers to refer to an
extremely dark red rose as black
Such a statement is not correct, and
it is doubted whether anyone mas
secured an all-black rose.
5. @. Who was "the Duke Of Exc
ter's daughter?"
A. When the rack as an instru-
ment of torture was introduced into
England in 1447 by John Holland,
Duke Of Exeter, who was at that
time constable of the Tower of Lon
don, it speedily became known as
'the Duke of Exeter's daughter"
6. O, Do Americans eat as many
crackers as Englishmen do?
A. Our annual per capita expen'
diture for crackers is only 40 cents
as against 81 in England. It is prob
able that the demand in Great Brit
ain for jams, marmalades and
cheeses adds to the popularity OF bis
cults as they are called.
Z. @. At what temperature does
dynamite explode?
A. The firing point of dynamite is
about 1870 degrees, centigrade, or 356
fahrenheit, and at this temperature
it either burns or explodes. If free
from all pressure, jar, vibration, or
force of any kind, it burns.
8. @. What town in Indiana or
Ohio has a tree growing in the tow
er of the courthouse?
A. Greensberg, Ind, claims this GU
riosity. The courthouse. with its
tree-topped tower. is visible from
railway trains passing through the
town.
8. @. Is a polar bear a warm or
cold-blooded animal?
A. All bears are warm-blooded.
10. @. What is the derivation OF
the word "Ouija?"
A. 1t is believed to be a combina'
ton of the French oui and the Ger
man ia, both words meaning yes.

GRAIN

CHICAGO July 2S.-- Wheat exhibited
much strength. During the first hour of
trading there was little feature. The start
was easy on hedging pressure and later a
little rally ensued on buying by export
interests. Further hedging from southwest
interests induced locals to press the selling.
Support was Forthcoming on the breaks and
finally some Of the big shorts covered and
prices were quick to respond to this buy
ing. The market acted very much oversold
and local shorts ready to stampede at any
moment. Some Of the locals switched to
the bull side on the urgent export trade
and the 1 cent better bids for wheat by
gulf exporters. There was much bearish
news in circulation. but this was without
for the rail and coal strikes and threatened
strike by lake sailors received no comment
Cutting of wheat started in Manitoba and
cutting is expected to be general in other
of heavy volume, although southwest is adj
vising of offerings Tightening up. Cables
were lower.
Wheat closed X to 1Bc higher. Profit
taking by local longs was late feature.
July closed Silly September, $1.0SM a
LOSS; December, $1.10A @1.10?s.
advances in this market were bigger than
in wheat. There was some buying by cash
interests at the start and locals bought
December. Later there was talk of hot
weather damage to corn in southwest and
strength in Kansas City as we'll as buying
by southwest houses caused many of the
local trade to buy and much short covering
was forced. Cash demand continued good.
Receipts are not so heavy.
Corn closed " to &c higher. July, 64hc;
September. 631a @63%c; December. 59hc.
Oats were frmer along with other grain.
Leading elevator interests were the best
buyers Some short covering was noted.

Romantic Account
OF Liquor Smuggling
Revealed In Arrest

NEW YORK, July PA roman
tic story of liquor smugglers load
ing their cargo in Bermuda, under
direction of a girl and making runs
to the shores Of Long Island Sound,
gun fights and seizures by federal
agents, has been revealed in the ar
raignment of Mrs. Edith Stevens, 49,,
in Brooklyn on an Indictment charg-
ing conspiracy to smuggle liquor
from Bermuda.
She was indicted as an accomplice
of Antonio Cassese, tobacco mer-
chant, who fled when a second in
dictment, charging plot to smuggle
huge quantities of liquor into the
country, following seizures of two
of his vessels.
Gassese was charged with being
the owner Of the yacht Edith, cap
tured by government agents here,
with 1000 cases Of liquor aboard last
March.
At the trial Of Captain Charles
Oman, of the Edith, he testified that
woman directed the loading of the
Edith in Bermuda and accompanied
the cargo to New York. He said that
was on the yacht when it was seized.
Oman was sent to Atlanta for a
year.
The trawler Ripple was the second
vessel to be captured by the gov
eminent agents after a voyage to
Bermuda, when it tried to land a
cargo of liquor in New York harbor.
The vessel was only, taken after a
revolver battle with the crew. When
Gassese learned of the second seiz-
ure, he fled although out on $4,000
bail in the first case.
Mrs. Stephens, whose trial begins
today, denied that she knew anything
about the Ripple, although she ad-
mitted being on board the Edith.
Seizure of three alleged rum rum
ming boats over night was declared
by federal prohibition agents today
to indicate the resumption of activi-
ties by liquor smugglers who have
been uncommonly quiet for several
weeks.
