ToDAY's CHICAGO PRICES.

CHICAGO, July 1I.-For the first
time this season wheat today fell In
price to below 96 cents a bushel. Sep
tember delivery. All deliveries of
wheat again broke the seasons low
price record, with September touching
95a. cents. Pressure of hedging sales
as we'll as indifference of demand
appeared to be responsible for the
new downturn in values. Opening
prices, which ranged from Il to q
lower with September 90 to 9614
and December 991s to 93S, were fol-
lowed by a slight further setback
and then by rally to a little above
yesterdays finish.
Corn and oats showed an UPWARD
tendency, both markets presenting an
oversold appearance. After opening
at a range varying from 70 decline
to Il advance, September, 74A to

general gains.
Oats started at Il off to u up, Sep
TENDER. "a to 34b. Later all months
showed a slight advance.
Higher quotations on hogs gave a
lift TO the provision market.
Subsequently. the wheat market
displayed relative firmness owing to
some renewal of talk about likelihood
west, together with the fact that
offerings of wheat to arrive here and
in the southwest were of less volume
than yesterday. For the most part,
however. advances proved transient.
The close was unsettled. ranging from
~ net decline to a gain.

Do Not Do Too Much
Color and Design Work

It doesn't need a great amount of
labor to put the little touch Of color or
design that makes the difference In
home decoration. Sofa pillows shouldn't
be overloaded with either color or de-
sign. Too elaborate decoration has a
tendency to detract from the beauty of
an article instead of adding to its
charm. Just a graceful little spray or
one large flower with stem and leaf, Is
enough to add the needed bit of bright
handwork. and it does not burden the
groundwork upon which it appears.
The delicate stroke, the knowing
when there is enough and not too much
decoration is the subtle something that
we call art. 1t can be developed If the
needle-worker will study effects and
stop before she has overdone her deco.
ration.

Things Women Should
Know About Hosiery

Mock seams and mock fit that will
not Outlive the first laundering cannot
deceive the woman who is wise In the
ways of hosiery buying.
1t is the cloudy. thickened ankle that
betrays the stocking that would mas
Querade as something it is not. A
stocking to keep its fit must be seam
less, fitted in the knitting. or it must
have a genuine seam down the back.
In either case the threads will con-
verge toward the back, and the texture
of the stocking will be the same at the
ankle as 1t is just below the hem.
A stocking that is shaped after the
weaving has the fabric crowded to-
gether at the angle. This makes it
thicker and darker. Also the threads
run perfectly straight with no converg-
.ence. 1t is simple matter for the
woman buying hosiery to lay the ankle
against the top of the stocking to COM
pare the texture and at the same time
examine the threads TO see whether
they run straight or converge. The
woman who learns to do this insures
herself against shapeless hosiery.

Pack Your Furs With
Care for the Summer

Hang the furs out in the sun for
several days, then give them a good
beating and shaking up to be sure that
NO moths are in them. Brush WELL Boil
some fiaxseed, then dip cloth in the
solution and wipe the furs with this
lightly. This will make the furs look
nearly as bright as new. Wrap a lump
of camphOr in a cloth and place it with
the furs. Wrap the furs in news
paper that is without holes or breaks,
or in paper bag. Paste the edges to-
sether securely, or the furs may be
placed loosely in a box. Paste strong
strip of paper over the crack left be-
tween the box and it's cover. If there
are no moths in the furs when placed
In the box they will be safe without
camphor or tobacco. Another very
good way is to put the furs in strong
paper sack. tie the sack securely at
the top and store in dark place.
To dry-clean any kind of furs, first
warm some clean bran carefully in a
pan, stirring occasionally with the
hand so that it will not burn; rub the
warm bran into the fur for some time,
