Blocking punts by opponents is as
difficult feat as any in the game.
Nice timing, perfection in team work
and very fast charging is necessary
to accomplish this play. Few teams

kicks are only able to accomplish
the play two or three times in a
game when the contestants are about
evenly matched.

10000 square feet of floor space, and

the third floor being used for storage

constructed Of Indiana limestone and

OF structural steel. There are ten
large show windows on two streets.
An Otis elevator extends from the

The building and it's appurtenances

available since the incumbency o.
the Soviet regime, it is believed that
the largest bell in the world still re-
mains intact there.
The bell here has been rung but
once. That was in the early part of
January, 1896, just 81 years ago,
when it's obstreperous tone shattered
windows in buildings near the church
and it was agreed that the tower
was in grave danger of collapsing.
Since. then it has been tapped only
by large hammer, the BELLS clap

mant position for safety sake. =
Cast in Cincinnati in memory of
Its donor. Joseph Buddeke, former
Cincinnati merchant, the bell was
hauled to its present location by 40
teams of horses. 1t weighs approx
imatcly 10000 pounds and is nearly
IL feet high and 10 feet across its
rim. The cost of the bronze
memorial was $4,000. CO..
The tone of the bell is E flat ana
were it to be rung it's sound could
be heard within radius Of Is miles
of Cincinnati. But with the simple
process of striking it with a hammer,
the sound is no louder than an,
other bell. The bell rests 1875 feet
above the ground.

NEW DECLINES
TAKE PLACE IN
WHEAT MARKET

Chicago, Jan. 23.-Although buy
ing on the part Of houses with east
ern and foreign connections made
wheat prices average little higher
during the early dealings today new
declines soon took place. The initial
buying was apparently based on
strength Of European exchange and
a reduction in Italian import duties
on flour and other food stuffs. Sus-
tanned demand, however, was lacking
and heavy accumulation Of wheat at
primary terminals had bearish eff
feet. Tne opening which varied
from unchanged figures to one-half
cent higher was followed by slight
gains and then a material setback
all around.
Purchases here as against sales
in Winnipeg turned wheat upward

of the Board of Trade. The market
closed firm, ssc to l cent higher
