muscles would become taut, and you
could almost feel yourself in a

STUDENTS AWAKE AS HOURS
 IN NOVEL SLEEP MARATHON
Stanford University Boys Have Blood Tested to Find Effect of Sleep
 lcssness on Condition.

Stanford University, Cal, April IS. The sleep marathon conducted by five students of Stanford university under direction Of Dr. Norris Rake straw of the faculty of chemistry, ended yesterday after AS hours of wakefulness, in which score of blood tests were made.
 The boys, who said they were none the worse for their experience. were A. r.. Butterfeld, r. D. Hahn, D. l.. Robertson and J. O. Vaughan. They submitted voluntarily to the test to determine what effect, if any, sleep lessness had upon the chemicaization of the blood.
 The results of the observation will not he known for several days, when laboratory analyses will be completed. The subjects played cards. dog trot- ted" through the streets. sang, played the piano and prodded each other during the process of keeping awake. Their food complexes were cared for by steaks. milk and vegetables.
 A similar test will be made with another batch of students in a few days and a comparison of the blood examinations made between the two squads. It is believed that deduc- tions of value in insomnia cases may be made from experiments in meta bolism in which Dr. Rakestraw tried the effect of sleeplessness with and without attendant excitement. Five subjects were found unchanged as far as blood content was concerned. A previous experiment during which the subjects were directed to take hard physical exercise and were ex- cited nervously. resulted in an in- crease of sugar and uric acid in the blood,

WHEAT GOES DOWN
In CHICAGO TRADING
Heavy Marketing of New Crop in
Canada Breaks Prices as

By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. September 15.-Heavy
marketing of new wheat in Canada
led to a downturn today in prices
here. The close was heavy. IS cents

oats q shade to u cent. In pro-
visions there was a to Is cent ad-

1t was estimated that 100000 bu-
shells of wheat had been marketed
this week at country points in the
three prairie provinces of Canada, and
values here soon developed weakness
after a little show of strength at the
start. Initial gains were in sympathy
with the early flrmness of prices at

due. more or less. to gossip that re-

JAPAN IS ORDERING
VERY LITTLE STEEL
Actual Buying From Quake
Zone Is Disappointing to
Producers in U. S.

NEW YORK. September 15.-Pros-
poets for new business in the steel mar
ket are considered favorab Bile, especially
from railroads. While a large amount
of steel will doubtless be required for
the devastated area in Japan, actual
buying from this quarter thus far has
proved disappointing. The fact that un-
filled orders on the books OF the Steel
Corporation showed a sharp August
drop also was disappointing and gave
the market a slightly heavier appear
ance. Pig iron was quiet and easier.
The fuel situation was more favorable
and buyers were not disposed to place
orders much ahead of immediate re-
quirements
Copper was quiet and about steady.
Reports Of possible curtailment of out
put by producers under the 14-cent level
encouraged firmer view of prices
earlier in the week. Domestic buyers
were conservative.
Tin was easy, as the free selling at
sources of production and the long de-
cline caused buyers 10 retire.
Lead was advanced by the leading
producer late In the week. Although
buying was less active, prospective con-
sumption requirements appeared large.
Offerings of zinc were liberal for
nearby shipment and the market ruled
easy.
Anthony quiet. although holders re-
manned steady.
