Wheat rallied sharply today with alb
sorption of offerings in the pit and
prices. which had hit the downgrade
course and advanced to we'll above
Saturdays finish. At the close wheat
was to 1sc higher, with September
1.24 to 1.24s and December 1.29 to
1924: corn was lac lower to lac high
er: oats unchanged to &c up. and pro-
visions ranging from 23c loss to soc
gain.
Renewed liquidation brought about
sharp decline in wheat values early,
following a firm start on reported
strength in Liverpool, but after the
selling, spent its force the market here
reacted with considerable buying of
the September delivery. This was
creditor to houses with export connec-
tions. indicating there had been a
heavy export business done overnight
Some large figures were mentioned as
to the amounts Of wheat sold during
the day, and while there was consider
able buying by seaboard interests and
cash houses, accurate estimates could
not be made.
Corn and oats likewise were affected
by liquidation. prices of corn declining
more than three cents in some in
stances only to recover in the later
Nading. Weather conditions were ia
for the threshing of CATS the move
ment in the latter increasing rapidly.
Provisions broke sharply early on
selling of lard by commission houses,
part of which was attributed to SYM
pathy with cottonseed oil and a drop
in hog values. There was good sup
port on the break and a rally ensued.

was his desire to erect a memorial
worthy of the youth Of whom he
said:
The truly great character must,
unite unusual strength and deter
mination with. gentleness. My boy
was imperious. He recognized no
superior on earth, and yet was tho
tender and intimate friend OF tho
weak and h2mble."
Thus the Rufus F. Dawes Hotter
came into being, financed by the
General and operating under c.
code framed by him. 3
Soon after the Chicago hotel
opened a similar institution was
begun in Boston and it has proved
as valuable TO the community al

Then General Dawes paid a pro.

determined that there should BEL
a similar hotel for women in

erected he named it for her-the
Mary Dawes Hotel. Here also

LOcatelli's Plane
Damaged Beyond Repair

On board the L. S. S. Richmond,
off Greenland. Aug. 25-(By A. P.)-
The United States cruiser Richmond
after having been tossed about on
the bleak north Atlantic Ocean for
So hours, and after hope had been
given up for the safety of Lieuten-
ant Locatelli, the Italian aviator. and
his three companions. picked up the
marooned men from their damaged
plane shortly before midnight Sun
day.
All of the members of the party
were well, but were exhausted from
their ordeal.
Locatelli's plane was damaged be-
yond repair, and it was destroyed by
gunfire from the Richmond. The
cruiser, with Locatelli and his COM
panions on board, is proceeding to-
ward Labrador to re-enter the naval
patrol for the continuation of the
fight of Lieutenant Lowell II. Smith
and Lieutenant Erik Nelson from
1vigtut to Labrador.
Locatelli. who started from Ice
land for Greenland last Thursday
with Lieutenants Smith and Nelson.
was forced down by motor trouble at
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. After
repairs had been made to the plane
Locatelli was unable to make a
ke-off from the water. The plane
drifted from the point near the Lab
IA dor coast where it came down in
the water and was found 125 miles
due east of Cape Farewell, the south
ernmost tip of Greenland.
The discovery of the damaged
plane was due to Signalman Willis
Pinkston. who from the bridge of the
Richmond. caught sight of green
flares sent up from the plane. The
flares were repeated at intervals and
the Richmond was able to steer her
course by them and finally ran
alongside and took off Locatelli and
his companions.

Girls Club Members
Enjoy Travel Talk
By Miss Thomas

Telling of the customs and cos
tunes of the women of many lands
and particularly Of the Orient, Miss
Katherine Thomas held the undivided
interest of her hearers at the Augusta
Girls Community Club. Monday even
ing. Considering the inclemency of
the weather there was a sizeable
group of the club members present
to hear the story of Miss Thomas
experiences during tt! world tour
which she recently completed and
during which she taught school in
many countries.
Miss Thomas took her audience
with her on a veritable word tour of
the Philippines to Japan and China
and then to Egypt, India and the Oc-
cident. She described the peculiar
and expensive dress of the Japanese
women and the embroidered and bro
caded garments of the Chinese. Miss
Thomas said that the Chinese women
are really further advanced in many
ways than are those of Japan
The speaker described interesting
and intriguing adventures in Hindu
India, including entertainment at the
home of native woman of high
caste. 1t was also her privilege to he
introduced to several of the wives of a
native Hindu, and the American girl
considered them quite. pretty with
their quaint round faces and jet
black eyes.
Miss Thomas told of the popularity
of automobiles of Americay manu-
facture in all parts of the world. and
mentioned several out of the way
places where her party had been
surprised to find these modern vehi-
cles of transportation.
Her audience asked many questions
concerning the countries and the
people where Miss Thomas had visit
ed. and the evening was most in
teresting, entertaining and profitabl
one to those in attendance.

The Capital of .yugosIayia

The first sight of Belgrade is dis
tinctly impressive. Grinding along
over the Slavonian flatlands, the
train gradually rises a range of
hills on the southern horizon. Sud
denly, from between the clumps of
trees and shrubs that fringe the rail-
way line one gets a perspective
across a fiat alluvial plain and a
broad river. behind which rise bluffs
crowned by large town with hills
in the further background. That is
"Beo-G rad'-"The White City as
it is most appropriately named,
since most of its buildings are light
Colored stucco or stone.
Emerging from the railway sta
ton, the Eastern atmosphere hits
YOU in the eye. My first impression
was that of a large, illdefned and
ill-paved open space, casually
fringed by nondescript structures
and peppered with people mostly
swarthy in appearance. Some were
in queer peasant costumes. others
were picturesquely ragged, while ev-
erywhere there was a strong sprink-
ling of soldiers. At one point
knot of men were squatting about a
small fire, their dark faces picked
out by the freight against the gath
erlng DUSK. Entering my carriage,
l was jolted over atrocious pave
ments to brand-new and very ugly
hotel.
There you have the spirit of pres
ent-day Belgrade: patches of glaring
''Westernism," pasted crudely on a
Balkan background. And the queer
part of it is that the patches, nu-
merous though they be, merely en-
phasize Belgrade's fundamental
"Balkanism." The city is. in fact,
going through an acute transition
period. A decade ago it was the
seat of small Balkan State. Today
it is the capital of ''Jugoslavia"
Nation stretching from the head of
the Adriatic almost to the Aegean
Sea, with an area considerably larg-
er than Great Britain's and with
fully 12,000.OOO population.
Elated by their good fortune, the
Serbs have been doing their best to
make Belgrade a big modern capt.
tai. They are doing tremendous
amount of building, new five and
six-story structures rising on every
side. In fact, they have overbuilt,

vaiIing over all Europe having hit
