PROBE Hints START
BREAK IN WHEAT
Heavy Buying in Russia Also
Factor in Weeks Wild
Fluctuations.

CHICAGO, February I1.-ProposaIs
to restrict fluctuations in the price
OF grain have been followed by more
bewildering fluctuations this week
than perhaps ever witnessed before.
After re- establishing itself In the COS
the wheat market went as low as
sl.171a bushel, May delivery,
against a recent high record of
S2.05N. Compared with a week ago,
wheat this morning was AZ to 6is
down, corn. 79s to S1a off: oats show
ing 3 e to rs setback, and provisions
varying from 72 cents decline to %
cents gain.
1t was suggested by an official of
the United States Department of
Agriculture that a limit on price
movements during any single day
ought to be adopted by the grain ex-
changes. The suggestion, which was
construed in some quarters as a
warning that sensational sudden
breaks and bulges in the wheat
be checked, was succeeded the very
next day by a tumble to IL cents a
bushel under the top figures of the
day previous. On the two trading
days which next ensued, wild futher
downward plunges took place, carry
ing May wheat each time to $1.7112
Corn was depressed by a visible
supply about three times as large as
a year ago Stocks of oats are also
heavy.
Provisions averaged lower, SYM

a general upturn.
Oats started unchanged to Il up,

With the advent of winter and furs.
the velvet dress has once more stepped
into its perennial popularity. This
year, observes Paris fashion CORE

high-necked and long-sleeved and the
most popular shades are violet and
claret, with bottle green and dark
honey. as close seconds. One and all
are trimmed with fine old lace, creamy
and soft. The most popular model has
something akin to a loose polonaise
top with flared skirt scalloped on, or
sewn on, in triangular points. 1t takes
much cutting and tailoring.
Black velvet evening dresses also
trimmed with the fine old lace-rose
point or the most exquisite valen-
ciennes of the shade of old ivory-are
also extremely popular.
Some people, of the very "chicest'
too, are even daring a return to fine
wooden stockings. Plentiful supplies
OF these In all the fashionable shades
OF gray and beige adorn every hosier's
window, though it is not expected that
the mode will make a wide appeal.
Most Parisiennes prefer to freeze in
"maille "A" stockings that have little
more body than a cobweb.
Paris has taken up the polo sweater
with enthusiasm, and devised a vari-
alton two-piece dress on the same
theme, with frankly garconne lines,
that is proving great success for
morning wear. This is skirt and

MIXTURE OF SECTS
PUZZLE IN INDIA
Buddhists Put Up Problem
in Government.

To most people it would appear, &C
cording to Bombay paper, very nat
ural that the famous temple of Budh
Gaya, the most sacred spot in all the
world to the Buddhist, should be I'M
der their control.
But 1t is not, and in recent years
the Buddhist community has been car
rying on an agitation which has for
It's object the persuading of the gov
eminent to give them the right to man
age the temple in the interests of their
faith.
Is there. in India, any temple which
has associations with so many faiths
as this beautiful structure in Gaya?
The original building, not the present
one for this is Of comparatively
modern period, was built over the
place made sacred by the great teach
err Buddha, who here received that en-
lightenment which was the basis OF
his future teaching, and today Bud
dhists come from all parts of the world
to pay their homage at this shrine.
There is something very impressive in
the sight of some piOuS Buddhist who
has made a journey of thousands OF
miles, along difficult roads, to rest
his eyes on this sacred spot, every
inch of which has been honoredl by the
presence of the Buddha.
But what is found when one passes
inside the temple of Buddha? Here is
an image, but strange to say, it bears
the trident" mark, the emblem of
Vishnu, and even more strange, the
rites are performed by Brahmin.
Could anything be more incongruous?
The pious Buddhist pilgrim places rev.
erently his pieces of gold leaf on the
sacred image of his Lord, but he must
pay in his gift to the Brahmin priest
who officiates. Nor is this all, for it
is found that the Mahant or guardian
of the Buddhist "Holy of Holes is a
Mohammedan, and he can easily
show his right to the post.
How? By reference to sanad
granted to him by Christian" gov
eminent. Thus these four faiths are
associated in this central shrine of
Buddhism, and it is not surprising that
Buddhists resent the ownership being
in the hands of others. The British
government will doubtless give due con-
sideration to the petitions which have
been sent by representative Buddhist
bodies.-Montreal Family Herald.

Every woman should be interested
in an appearance which is attractive
and pleasing to others. Why should
we presume to be a blot on land
scape of so much natural beauty? 1t
is personal satisfaction to know that

To radiate truly beautiful spirit,
and to be sure of a sincere manner

kindly in thoughts as well as words.
No one can be beautiful or interest

Scientists have proved that the brain
cells possess a vital element which is
exhausted during our waking hours,
and renewed during sleep.
The brain cells of an individual
killed, or who dies after suffering

in this vital element that they cannot

Decorated Sleeves and
Jabot Effects Popular

Extravagantly exaggerated are the
jabot effects used on many of the inn
ported dresses or the copies of these
importations. Not only are they ex-
tremely popular on waists, but they
are often introduced to give the skirt
of a frock additional fullness and
grace.
Wearing hearts on sleeves is not,
even figuratively, being DONE" al
though decorative sleeves are much in
vogue. Some are hand-painted, others
embroidered, still others beribboned
or trimmed in inserts of metallic lace.
Long sleeves of the bell, and also of
the pulled, type are seen in the smart
est semi-formal dinner frocks, as well
as those designed for wear at after
noon functions.

Ships on Scrap Henn

Ships come and ships go, but on the
whole we hear very little about them.
Here are some remarkable figures
about the worlds fleet:
Last year there were lost through
one cause or another 316 merchant
ships, totaling nearly two million tons,
and nearly three-quarters of them
were steamers or motor ships.
This does not mean that there were
more wrecks. for there were actually
fewer; but the huge total of more
than 100000 tons of shipping was
strapped, the biggest figure ever re-
corded. Britain alone strapped $780,
600 tons.
