WHEAT FINISHES NEAR THE TOP IN TRADING OF DAY

CHICAGO, August 21.-Wheat fin ished near the top today, fore cast of frost in parts of the Ca nadian wheat belt and the pro nounced strength in September corn were the chief factors in upho1ding values. The finish was unchanged to es c up, with December $1.0415 to S1.041k@1.O4ss and May $1.09 5s. Corn advanced + O ssc to 2&c; oats gained ls c to $ O % and provisions were 71s to 1715c higher.
 Volume of trade in wheat was light and the price range narrow, closing figures being around the best of the day. At the outset there was some scattered business by commis- sion houses. but indifferent cable news served to check demand and the market quickly eased off, with some selling of September and buy ing of December Seaboard houses bought moderately. Threshing was said to be further delayed by rains light Arrivals here today were about 375 cars. After midday a re- port was received that frost was looked for in parts of Canada This, coupled with the rise in September corn brought about a reaction and tended to uphold wheat values to the close.
 Covering by previous sellers was largely responsible for the sharp up- turn in September corn, this deliv- cry touching 8635c, or a gain of 3# c over the previous finish. Other de- livery readily responded in sym pathy and the finish was near the best levels of the day. Strength in the cash market, which advanced about 1c, with practically all con -traeSwgrades selling above soc, also helped to uplift futures.
 Oats were firm throughout the day, reflecting the strength in corn. Provisions were quiet and firm packers supporting lard in small way.

EASIER TONE IS GIVEN TO CURB BY WEAKNESS OF OIL

NEW YORK, August 21.-Weak- ness of the oil shares gave<the New York curb market an easier tone in today's transactions. Net changes, however, even in the oils, were rela- lively small, most of the active shares closing within fractions of yesterdays final figures. Some of the less active stocks showed losses of to points, notably Illinois Pip , and Prairie oil and Gas. Standard oil of Indiana declined 2 points and Standard oil of New York 1. Eureka Pipe moved up 3 points on small turnover.
 Industrials were dull and net changes almost negligible. Reading coal rights again eased fractionally, while Glen Alden moved up slightly. Trading in the mining group was on 2 small scale and net changes rela- lively unimportant.

AVIAT0RS WILL TAKE
 PICTURES OF ECLIPSE
MacReady Will Aid Science By
 Making Flight

WASHINGTON, August 21.-In or der that photographs of the solar eclipse next month may be assured to science, regardless of clouds or other atmospheric conditions prevail ing at the time, the war department decided today to use it's air service personnel and equipment in way that is regarded as certain of suc- cess in picturing the phenomenon and obtaining valuable data for use of scientific organizations in this coun- try. Lieut. John A. MacReady, holder of the worlds altitude record, and Lieut.. A. J. Stevens, an expert aerial photographer. will go to height of 10000 feet to make the photographs during the eclipse. The flight will take place at Rockwell Field, San Diego Cal. on September 10, in the area of the total eclipse.
 Photographs and data secured will be made available to scientific bodies. During previous ecilpses. observers on mountains have noted compass variations distinctly different from those at lower attitudes. For the purpose of ascertaining what occurs at an altitude of 10000 feet, Lieuten- ant MacReady will note the varia- tions that occur in his magnetic com pass. This data will likewise be made available to those scientists who are interested In terrestrial mag netism and lthes relations between the magnetism of the sun and of the earth.

GENERAL TREND IN STOCKS IS HIGHER;
 UNDERTONE SHARP
Market RegainS Confidence In Outlook For American
 Business
By WALTER B. BROWN,
 Editor New York Commercial (Lensed Wire to The AEe-HeraId)

NEW YORK, August 21.-The general trend of stock market prices today was upward and the efforts to depress values met with but little response, There was in fact more buoyancy apparent than there has been for some time, not because of any particular news developments, but rather on account of general feeling that the situation was shap- ing itself for better turn. For the past several months, the market has been reacting to everything un- favorable in industrial affairs that either has happened or might hap pen, and it is considered time now that it discount favorable develop ments which 1t is possible to fore cast
 one of the re-assuring factors in this situation was the return of Sec retsry Mellon to Washington after his trip to Europe.
 Conditions Better.
 And his intimation that conditions in France and in Germany are not fully as bad as they would seem. In fact, the stage seems to be set for quick recovery by both nations as soon as the Ruhr difficulty Is dis with the opinion that has pre- vailed in Wall street for some time, and coincides with the belief that much of the demonstration has been intended for political effect There is the possibility, therefore, of sud- den change in the situation as soon as there is some agreement arrived at and which may not be so far off as many think 1t.
 O O O
 Pleased With Mellon.
 The fact that Secretary Mellon Is to remain in the cabinet, is in itself a re-assJ ring factor, for he is held in high esteem in the financial world and his record thus far in office has demonstrated him to be one of the most efficient secretaries the de- partment has ever had.
 Developments in the coal situation were negative and discourag ging. There are but 10 days left to arrive at an agreement, after which there is the possibility of a strike being called.

COOLIDGE WILL CALL FARLEY OF GOVERNORS
Prohibition Enforcement To Be Dis
 cussed At White House

WASHINGTON, August 2I.-A con- ference of state governors called by President Coolidge to consider methods for strict enforcement of the prohibition laws. was forecast today at the White House.
 President Harding had made plans to confer with the state executives on that subject last spring but the late sessions of the state legisla- lures made it inadvisable to request the governors to come to Washing ton. When he departed on his Alaskan trip he announced that the conference would be called soon aft CT he returned, and White House of ficials today said there had been no change in that plan.
 Arrangements for the conference probably will be worked out as soon as Prohibition Commissioner Haynes returns to Washington.

Are Our Women Jealous of
Their Husbands Business?

!" HERE is a great country,
largely inhabited by men,
to which most wives and
mothers are strangers. declares
Peter Clark Macfarlane in his
new novel. Mans Country" just
published by Cosmopolitan Book
Corporation.
Every morning husbands and
sons go down to this mans coun-
try. There they spend their days,
their energy, and, in proportion
as they succeed, their love. It's
name is Business. It is a despot-
ism, demanding submission to it's
laws, but it is a delectable coun-
try to those in its favor, Turing
them ever on and on. There are
kings there, and princes-and it
is the story of one of the princes
who grew up to be a king that
Peter Clark Macfarlane tells in
MANS Country" That the novel
incidentally visualizes the growth
of a modern giant-the autonio-
bile industry-only adds zest to
the story itself, which is really
about a great love of which bust
ness was jealous.
Mr.. Macfarlane has faced the
issue bravely, and has shown how
much of heartbreaking and de-
spair and jealousy and thwarted
affection is caused in the Ameri-
can home by the inability of hus-
bands and wives TO make each
other understand how they feel
when they face this great prob
lem together.
There can be no question that
MANS Country" opens up
great unexplored area in our
national life. 1t is bound to be
field for furious controversy,
too. They are saying now that
women-lots of women-do not
want their husbands to be more
than moderately successful in bust
ness, knowing full well that once
the tide of money making sets in
strongly the men they love will
be carried along with it, and they
will lose the companionship, the
affection even, that once was
theirs.
George Judson, the principal
figure in Mans Country" was
brought up in humble surround

to leave school to support his
family; at twenty-six he was the
great financial wizard of the auto
mobile industry. Business was his
inspiration-his god. 1t came first,
always.
