SAYS NIGHT HABITS
 SHAPE CHARACTERS
Might by Night" Is Called More Important Than pr. Coue's
 Day by Day"

CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.-The test of mans character is made from what he does from nightfall until bedtime, rather than what he does during the day, according to Dr. William A. Nc Keever, author, lecturer and specialist in juvenile problems, a recent visitor in Chicago.
 Dr. McKeever would substitute for Dr. Emile Coue's famous day by day" theory new slogan night by night"
 Mark persons behavior in the evening and you can write the rest of his biographical sketch" Dr. Nc Keever said. What we need espe cially is challenging slogan that will have the same effect on peoples mor- als that Dr. Coue's day by day sug- gestion has on your physical ills"
 Amusement should be grouped on Friday and Saturday, forgetting everything else but the home habit, the lecturer said. Then finally and most important, go to your own church on Sunday.
 "A young person especially should group his studies and his amuse- ments," he continued. Every boy or girl attending high school ought to stay home from Monday to Thursday. On Friday and Saturday he or she ought to indulge in clean, wholesome social amusements and activities. And on Sunday, church."
 Several Statewide "clean living cam paigns" have been conducted by Dr. McKeever. During his crusade in Oklahoma recently thirty-six cities competed for a prize awarded to one proving to be the best place to rear children.

HONOLULU, Feb 2S. - Honolulu carpenters are turning their eyes to- ward the coming session of the Legis- lature and licking their chops in antici- patton of large job as result of the converting of that august body here this month.
 The Legislature will meet in the old , Iolani Palace, now the Capitol There will be 30 members of the lower house, as usual. Thirty chairs are to be supplied for them.
 Superintendent of Public Works Ly- man H. Bigelow has 29 chairs ready to place behind the desks of the honor able members. The one chair that he does not possess is the one that may have to be contracted for. This is the chair to be occupied by the new legislator from the Fourth Dis trict A. R. ("Sonny") Cunha.
 "Sonny"-who is one of the best known men in the Territory and the author of 12 popular song hits, includ- ing Honolulu Tomboy," "Everybody Hula,' My Lulu Girl" and My Hula Girl"-weighs 360 pounds, and there isn't a chair in old Iolani Palace that will accommodate him. Incidentally, he received practically the highest vote in the last election. His com paign motto was, 'T'm big fellow-I need a lot of votes."
 The superintendent, in his efforts to accommodate MT. Cunhas genial self comfortably went on a tour of inspec- tion and looked over some of the old chairs that graced the throne room in monarchial days. These chairs were built on large plan to fit the persons of the Hawaiians of those days, who were built on a generous frame, which they padded out well for continual poi eating, guaranteed to make the thin nest fat Still there isn't a chair that will fit "Sonny's" measure.
 "Seing that I got the largest vote, I want a real chair, commensurate with my weighty dignity" checked Cunha when told of the superintend- ent's predicament.

Barring Stigma, Some Better Off Than Waifs
 Outside NIGHT AND DAY NURSES
Law Provides Little Ones Must Leave 2 Weeks After Birth

| LTdSt.
 Behind the gray walls of Auburn State Prison-daily medical examin- ations, scientific nutrition, nurses on | duty day and night to watch over the babes of women convicts, mur- derers, robbers and belles of the underworld.
 Outside the prison walls, in the great American cities and smaller towns-thousands upon thousands of babes, suffering from want of medi- | ical care, from malnutrition and left | alone, unattended, in their cribs while their mothers struggle to earn few dollars to buy the scanty sup, ply of milk.
 Get Fine Care That's why Brigadier-G G eneral Ed. gar s. Jennings, war hero warden of Auburn Prison, declares that the penal misunderstanding the stigma of ''prison babe"-is model nursery, l offering a babe better care than it would receive in it's own home. Warden Jennings cities the case of Baby Julia Kosmowski, daughter of Mrs. Julia Kosmowski, of Buffalo | to prove his contention. Baby Julia, born in the women's prison here, is the last child which will be permitted to romp in the corridors of the States institution. A new State law, passed by the | Legislature as the result of ap- peals made following publicity given the case of Pearl Odell, Rochester murderess, serving a life sentence for complicity in the killing of her alleged betrayer, provides that prison f born babes must be torn from the arms of their mothers two weeks after birth.
 Stayed Two Years Under the old State law children were permitted to remain with their inmate mothers until two years old This law governed the case of Baby Julia, but in her case the State prison authorities have gone even further; because her mother will be eligible for parole in March, Baby Julia will remain in prison here until that time.
 According to General Jennings, Whc rules Auburn prison, only the stigma that attaches to prison babies rules against the penal institution as an ideal nursery.
 "How many babies on the outside get the care that the infants we had in prison got?" asked the warden.
 "Each child underwent medical ex animation every day. Each was bathed regularly, and it's nutrition was scientifically regulated. Each had nurse who was in constant attendance, as there were no movies or shows or dates to share the interest of the inmate nurses.
 Lavish Attention
 "Every care was lavished on the tots. The prison is really splendid nursery, and the women prisoners will miss the loving association with the youngsters. But, of course, the prison stigma should not be placed on innocent babes."
 Baby Julia will be honor guest at farewell party when she leaves Auburn.
 In the last few months two pris oners were removed to city hospitals so that their babes might be born outside prison walls. When the mothers went back to prison then babies did not go with them.
 Baby Gloria Odell, pretty daughter of Pearl Odell, whose father was executed at Sing Sing for the same murder for which the mother is serving a life term here, is now with

relatives. Baby Gloria was born in Auburn prison. She never saw her father.

FOREIGN DEMAND BRINGS UPTURN IN PRICE OF WHEAT

CHICAGO, April 21.-With nearly 1000, 900 bushels estimated as having been bought for shipment to Europe and with bullish reports current as to the seeding outlook northwest the wheat market today made something of an upturn in price. The close was unsettled 14 to &c net higher, to 1.225s. Corn finished ls to %c lower. oats down 1sQ Ac to B @ 9ac, and provisions off Pc to Dc.
 At first wheat prices showed a downward tendency owing to rains which were in progress over the do- nestle winter crop belt, including some heretofore dry sections off Kan sas and Nebraska Lower quota tions at Liverpool tended also tenn porarily to weaken values hore. 1n- dications. however. that export de- mand had improved. and that Euro pan purchases included considerable Durum wheat, led to change or front on the part of numerous trad CTS. Bullish sentiment was further stimulated by predictions that seed ing of spring wheat would be s-satly curtailed In the DakotaS this season.
 According to one authority. many Dakota farmers who intended to sow wheat are instead sowing flax and barley, eliminating every acre of wheat. This course. he reported, was especially being followed in South Dakota and in southern North Da- kota, and was due to the fact that the lateness of spring this year had much increased the danger of wheat being damaged by black rust. Un- der such circumstances early declines in price were more than overcome and the market closed at fractional gains.
 Speculative selling weakened the corn market, and indirectly had bearish effcc. on oats.
 Provisions went lower in line with hog values.

Butter Prices Bread
 To Lowest For Season

CHICAGO. April 21.-Excessive supplies and weak foreign markets caused the do- mestic butter market to become very weak this week. Prices broke sharply to a new low level for the season. Trading was marked by frantic selling on the part of those who had surplus and indiffer- ence on the part of buyers.
 Each or the almost daily declines ap- parently brought the market no nearer to stable basis. Confidence generally was lacking. Near the close of the week there were some operators who felt that prices were at oG close to the bottom but those opinions apepared to be based on the fact that the market does not usually break so sharply for long period of time.
 Efforts to find level where the con sumptive demand would be sufficiently increased to clean up the current receipts were regarded as the cause of the declines during the week.
 From statistical standpoint it was rather difficult to understand the weak ness. Production showed only slight in creases and the receipts at the four mar kets while fluctuating from week to week. did not show increases that might Indicate such sharp break. With drawai from storage was small. Statis- tics indicate the weakness was due to A small surplus that no one was willing to carry through impending declines
