SHARP BREAK
HITS WHEAT
MARKET
BY CHARLES ]. LEYDEN
Universal Service staff Correspondent.

Universal Service staff Correspondent.
CHICAGO. Jan. 16.-Disheartened
over the sustained indifference of
Europe to world surplus wheat and
liStlcss action of foreign markets at
tracted additional liquidation in the
local pit today which resulted in sharp
losses. The decline was checked by
bids" There was nothing especially
hcariSh in the news, but rather it
seemed that underlying conditions lost
their grip during this period when
foreigners failed to take requirements.
Northwest houses continued to offer
wheat locally which was presumably IN
the way of spreading against North
west positions. Eastern houses sold
wheat. Below S1.75 for the May de-
livery stop loss orders were encoun-
tered. Some of the local bulls were
still buying but their purchases were
not of the aggressive kind. Corn re-
manned independently weak.
The seaboard confirmed slow trade
in wheat, but some messages from
Liverpool had the continent buying
more freely in the United Kingdom,
Liverpool closed unchanged to IA
pence lower and Buenos Aires steady
Locally wheat closed 1 1-2 to 2 Is
cents lower, corn / IL to 5-S cents
lower, oats 3-S to SIS cent down, and
rye ID to IS cent lower.
Longs in corn have been quietly
selling out. The impression of the
trade is that Wall Street interests that
bought corn last week on the political
news have liquidated. Buying power
in this grain was slack.
Cash interests were fair buyers o.
oats on weak spots.
Rye trailed the leading cereal down
Provisions closed higher but at con
siderable recession from best levels
The lard situation is unmistakabl,
strong for this season of the year ant
is arousing much comment generally

DOCTOR SCORES
EXPERT LOVE
ANALYSTS.
Quack Mental Heaters Prey
on Weak-minded, Says
Psychologist.

BOSTON, Jan. 16.-"Women are
being extensively fooled every day by
quack love experts posing as psyche
analysts and other mental healers.
"These women get mental drug
to dull the pain of their emotional
experiences. But the cure is more
harmful than the malady."
DR.. A. A. Roback, professor of
psychology at Harvard, who is con-
Quoting series of lectures on this
subject at Steinert Hall, declared the
country is overrun by fake psyche
analysts who prey upon impression
able women.
"These so-called analysts and heal
ers have no training or background
for their work." DR.. Roback said.
Nevertheless, they are cleaning up a
fortune.
"Such practitioners claim that they
can cure all forms of mental depres-
sion, including disappointments in love
and other emotional problems.
"The women are fascinated. They
feel relieved to be given a chance to
talk about their troubles. They feel
flattered because the clever psuedo-
psychoanalyst seems so interested.
"Most of these women are impatient
for a cure. That makes is easier for
the fake healers, who give them some
simple formula like a sugar-coated
pill. This pill may work for while,
but it doesn't reach the root OF the
trouble.
Most women who are weak-minded
like sympathy. They like to depend
on some one of stronger mentality
to cling to them for support. The
takers furnish them with this support
and charge them plenty for it.
Real psychoanalysts know that
the process of healing the mind is
often slow and difficult.
"The mental takers are like the
old medicine men, who claimed that
one bottle of their wonderful fluid
would cure all diseases on earth. Tins
craze for mental healing is the modern
version of that old-fashiOned faith"

SOUTH AUSTRALIA
ONCE GLACIAL LAND

ADELAIDE, Jan. 16.-There was
an epoch when Australia. south of a
line drawn from Kimberley. on the
Western Australia goldfields, to
Brisbane in Queensland. would have
presented very much the appearance
of the Antarctic continent today.
The gathering ground for this great
ice sheet lay mostly to the south of
the present Australian coast line on
n large land area which has either
since foundered or has broken away,
little by little, until now it is tenn
porarily anchored at the South Pole
as the Antarctic continent.
That. says Professor David, af-
fords a satisfactory explanation why
the fossil ferns of the Antarctic coal
fields resemble those embedded in the
rocks of the Australian coal areas.

GIRL Of GHETTO
J|LTSPR|NCE:,
Webs POET

CHICAGO. Jan. 16-Nahami Krupp
Chicago poetes and dreamer, who once
was wooed by Sarath Ghosh, an In
dian prince and master of vast es-
tates, has let the world know she is a
married woman. And her husband is
NJ. Reingold, the son of a Yiddish
poet.
A few years ago. when Nahami
was only Is, the prince met her and
fell in love. Sarath Ghosh was an
aesthetic and the little Ghetto girl in
Chicago appealed to him more than
Irene Marcellus of the "Ziegfeld Fol
lies" more than DR.. Mona Gould,
noted physician; more than dozens of
other women.
The prince, whose word in his ma
tive land was law and before whom
subjects were very humble, became q
slave to this little poetess.
INSPIRED HER
The prince proposed marriage to her
almost every day of his visit in Chi
cago. He offered to make her his heir.
He promised her priceless pearls, gilt
tering gold, everything in the world.
He kept on calling on her. But
Nabami rejected his love. Maybe, she
was too young to understand. She
knew nothing of love then. She want
ed to know what love in its ultimate
perfection was before she cast her lot
with any man.
But Nahami. who dreamed much,
was charmed by him who represented
all the broOding romance of the East.
She loved this mysterious land. India.
She was yearning for the weird music
of India. This son of India was her
inspiration. the one who gave her the
atmosphere n poetess needs.
Many princeSseS wanted TO marry
him, but the prince loved Nahaml. She
was his white lily.
One day Nahami's sister forbade
him to come to their home. The
prince knelt at her feet and poured
out the yearning Of his soul and
heart.
DIES OF BROKEN HEART
It was an impossible thing for
Nahami to marry him and he left. But
his correspondence continued. He
wrote letters to her from all parts OF
the country and from other countries.
Nahami answered the letters. but they
carried the same rejection of his pro-
poSals for marriage.
The last time Nahami saw him he
was rundown and worried. And in
March. 1923. he was found dead in
his apartment in New York. He died
at 32-of a broken heart; of love for
his Nahami. 100000
Marcellus. ''Follies' girl, then
claimed the prince beqIeathed to her
his estate. Nahami protested. She
wanted all his money 10 go to his PEG,
pie in India. for whom his heart
ached so much. What will become Of
the estate she knows not.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 16.-Cot-
ton prices advanced several points IN
an active market today. Although
there was some irregularity noted at
the opening, the market ruled steady
throughout.
Following the uneven start. active
positions scored moderate upSwmS.
There was an easing of values later,
attributed to the activity of shorts on
the selling side.
Sustaining influences were noted in
the last half of the session and the
values firmed again.
After a little wavering, prices
closed at slightly higher levels than
those registered at the close of yester-
