cations for the benefit Of the visit

But the names of these brave host
esses are few. For the most part,
they simply have their day. A butler
opens the door just wide enough to
stick out monOgramed silver card
tray. and the door is shut quickly
again.
Sometimes the congrcsswomen
can't even find the tray. One ''lit-
tie woman" told me this tale.
The BOrahs Snubbed
"Six Of US dubbed together on
taxi and started early one day in
order to get in as many calls as pos
sible. We got to our first port Of
call shortly before 4 p. m. THE maid
crack and said, My missus doesn't
receive until 4 o'clock and wouldn't
even take the cards. We had to 20
back the next week. Why did we do
it! Oh. official duty"
Some of Washington's women who
are most lionized today went through
their baptism Of fire in the way of
snubbing. The William Borahs. for
instance, refuse about Is dinner in
vitations in every mail. They will
not accept for they say they cannot
afford to reciprocate. But folks
don't care. They want the Borahs,
even if they don't eat at their cx-
pense in return. But Mrs. Borah tells
her tales of her more than full share
of snubs received when she was
green" to the ways of official wo-
mandom in d. G. ~

Make $4,000, 900

BH I HlfCu IFfSS
NEW YORK. Feb. An three or
four years, o. p. and NJ. j. Van
Sweringen. Cleveland. have made
paper profits of $63,0OO.000 on the
stocks of three of the railroads they
intend to merge into a $1,000, 900, 900
trunk line system, Dow, Jones &
Co. estimated.
Testifying before the Interstate
Commerce Commission in 1925, o. p.
Van Sweringen listed the railroad
holdings of brother and himself in
Chesapeake & Ohio, Pere Marquette
and three classes of Erie railroad
stock. The Dow-Jones Co. estimate
was based on that testimony.
Paper profits on the stock owned
in 1925 amounted to $40, 100000. Adj
ditional stock bought since the /.
C. C. hearing has brought profit Of
$1S. 800 900.
The Van SYeringens continue
their efforts to smooth away the re-
manning wrinkles in the merger
plan. The belief prevailed in Wall
Street. however, that there may be
no presentation of a new merger
plan until the transportation act has
been amended so that minority stock
holdings may be appraised when
their opposition threatens to block
consolidation.

HOG MARKET STEADY TO IS CENTS LOWER
PROFITS TAKENBY
HOLDERS OF GRAIN
Wheat Deliveries Reach
Highest on Upturn.
BIZ United Press

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-The DISPOSE
ton on the part of holders to take
profits on wheat on all bulges, es-
pecially the May, and the fact that
all deliveries reached the highest on
the present upturn yesterday with
September at another new high
mark, made a more two-sided propo-
sition. Prices were nc lower to &c
higher than the previous close at the
opening of the Chicago Board of
Trade today. Liverpool was some
what lower than expected today due
to the large worlds shipments.
Trade in corn continues disappoint-
ingly slow. Commission houses who
were large buyers of corn week or
more ago has been fair sellers the
last few days. making it easy for
shorts to get in.
Opening prices were Ac to sc
higher than Fridays close. A new
feature for the corn trade to con-
tend with is the movement at Wash
ington to quarantine shipments from
Illinois owing to the corn borer.
oats opened unchanged to Nc
higher than yesterdays close. This
grain remains featureless and gives
no indication of a trend in price ex-
cept by following other grains.
Provisions opened higher.

Small runs being normal on Sat.

the recent scarcity of livestock at the

not seem to have been any consid-
Grafton in determining prices. The

lower.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Wheeling &
Lake Erie was the center of an at
tack in early trading on the stock
market today. Opening a point I'M
der its last price of yesterday, the
issue dropped to So, off points.
Wabash common made up for this
recession with a heavy demand de-
veloping, which sent the issue to
57A, up 21s, after reaching a low
of 56H earlier. Dealings in general
were active and prices throughout
the list continued irregular.
Western Maryland also was easier,
dropping Is to "a and Atchison de-
clined fractionally to 164%. Erie, B.
& o., and several others in the rail
group moved higher.
Action of Wheeling and Lake Erie
directors in calling a special meeting
Monday to consider prescribing regu-
lations for conversion of the prior
lien and preferred shares into COM
mon, caused an easier tone at the
opening in the latter issue, which
sold off 21a to S51a.

HOUSTON YOUTHS HOLD
 WALL-sCA[|NC RECORD

HOUSTON, Texas, June 21. (P)- Eight Houston youths can run 25 feet to board wall 1-2 feet high, scale it without mechanical aid and run 25 feet beyond faster than and other group of lads their age in America.
 The youths, members of Troop Ten of the Boy Scouts of America, hold the worlds record for wall scaling. The record of 10 2-5 seconds was set April g, 1927, at an invitation field meet here. The record previously was held by a different team of the same troop, which made the time of II seconds in April, 1926.
 Wall-scaling, in the opinion of John Ross, assistant Scout master, com pines the use of many attainments for which Boy Scouts strive, including athletic ability, woodcraft, quick thinking, perfect teamwork and agili- ty. Therefore he thinks it approaches a major Boy Scout test.

Stock Outlook Good
in Arizona This ear

M. R. Wells, agricultural statisti-
clan, makes the following report on
livestock conditions in Arizona:
Spring feed prospects in Arizona
are very promising and there is
generally a good supply of moisture.
Cold and frosts have done but little
damage to young feed. The condition
of Arizona ranges as reported by
well-informed stockmen, April /, was
go per cent of normal as compared
with 92 last April
Cattle are going onto spring feed
in good condition, with breeding cows
in. good shape and generally good
prospects for a large calf crop.
Winter and early spring losses have
been light The cattle business seems
to be getting on a little firmer basis
with better prices for stock cattle and
slight tendency to restock in some
sections. The condition of cattle for
April was reported at SO per cent Of
normal compared with SO last April.
The cattle movement from Arizona
this spring will be much lighter than
the past two years being estimated at
$4,000 compared with $4,000 in 1926
and the same number in 1925, 74,000
in 1924 and 10000 in 1923. Feed con-
ditions are very good and the heavy
movement of the past two years has
cut the available supply of cattle
There will be fewer cows and aged
steers to move this spring. The
spring shipments last year consisted
of 81 per cent steers, 35 per cent cows,
heifers and bulls, per cent calves,
compared with 72 per cent steers,
81 per cent cows, heifers and bulls and
z per cent calves in 1924.
Sheep are generally in very good
condition showing a. points gain
since March /. Breeding ewes are
holding up well and early lanlbing has
generally resulted in a large thrifty
crop of lambs. Sheep and lamb losses
have been light. The condition of
sheep was reported at 95 per cent of
normal compared with 80 per cent last
month and 95 per cent year ago.
Early Easter lambs in Arizona were
of good size From observation it ap-
pears that most of them ranged from
20 to 80 pounds. It is very likely that
from 80 to 40 thousand head will move
to market before April Is.
Several shipments of early lambs
have been sold for as high as $1,000
per head f. o. b. Phoenix. Reports of
sales on the Kansas City market have
been eminently satisfactory, in at
least one instance showing the highest
ever paid for Arizona lambs.
Only one or two sales of wool we're
reported during the month, and the
clip continues to move to Boston on
consignment as it is sheared. The
Boston market appears rather slug
gish at this time.
