NEW YORK, May 5.-Following
the seasonal trend, a lower CONNER
cial mortality Is reported to r. G..
Dun & Co. for April. Totaling 1868,
last months commercial defaults in
the United States are about s per
cent below the 9,14S insolvencies of
March. while the April liabilities of
S53,155,727 are approximately So per
cent under the $57,S90,905 Of the
earlier period.
When comparison is made with
the returns for April, 1926, the rec
ord of the number of failures, which
Is the best measurement of the BUSH
ness mortality. makes the more
satisfactory exhibit. Thus, last
months defaults are less than per
cent above these for April of last
year. whereas the present indebted
ness shows an increase of about SO
per cent over the $Ss.4S7,321 of a
year ago.
In point of number of insolven-
cies, the decrease from March to
April of last year was only 1.3 per
cent. which Is a relatively less IA
vorable showing than is made by

WHEAT RULED BY

Traders Believe Corn Will

By United Press

CHICAGO, May 5.-With Liver
pool again considerably higher than
expected, and with the Southwest re-
porting heavy rains, sentiment In
wheat at the opening of the Chicago
Board of Trade was quite bullish,
with quotations II to q higher than
Yesterdays close. Although the gen
eral belief among local traders APP
pears to be that the rise has gone
far enough and a decline in the
technical position is not impossible,
a number expressed themselves as
bullish ana said the short interest
has been reduced, at the same time
adding that any adverse crop news
would cause an advance.
May corn is up cents from the
recent low and many traders believe
that it will go higher. Opening
prices were "a to y higher than
Wednesdays close. The market, it
appears, is giving an example of
what can be accomplished by con-
centrated speculative action. The
professionals who are buying appar-
emily have dug under the surface
and found something to convince
them that corn is too cheap.
Oats opened unchanged to Il
higher than the previous close. There
is no feature in the news to bring
either buying or selling and prices
continue to follow leadership of
other grains.
Provisions opened unchanged.

bU United Press
&, MADISON, Wis, May 8. - Do
twins tend to become more like each
other Intellectually as they grow
old and does the fact of their being
a twin impose an intellectual handi-

The answer to both of these ques-
tons has been announced by Prof.

Geological examination of some 200
pairs of twins, all pupils in the ele-
mentary schools.
He found that older pairs Of twins
did not resemble each other intel

pairs. Hence his answer to the first
question is that twins do not become

MORRIS BRIDGE VI
CONTRACT LET |
FOR $26S,5OO.
Decide to Lengthen, Repair.
Span After WrangIe Be-
tween City and County.

The National Concrete Company,
1917 Lemcke Bldg, was awarded a
contract to repair and lengthen the
Morris ST. bridge at White River in
conformity with the flood prevention
program following wrangle between
the board Of works and county COM
missioners Wednesday
The low bid of $26S,500 Of the Ma,
tional Company was accepted reluct-
antly by the board because 1t failed
to provide for new structure.
Taxpayers Interest
County Commission President Gas.
sius Hogle insisted on the remodeling
bid 'in the interest Of taxpayers"
while Virgil Vandagrifft, board presl-
dent, and Frank c. Lingenfelter, city
engineer. recommended widening the
bridge to eighty feet with a sixty
foot road way.
The contract provides for the ex-
tension Of the bridge which has a
3S-foot roadway. Lingenfelter recon 4
mended the contract be let to the.
waukee, for $4,000, which was the
lowest bidder on the wider bridge.
City Sought Wide Span
The city officials held the narrow
bridge would not meet with plans of
the city plan commission to widen
Morris st. as a main thoroughfare.
Vandagrifft suggested a compro-
mise by rejecting the bids and allow
ing all companies to submit prices
on the repair and extension project.
Only National Concrete offered fig
ures money could be saved by ask
ing all to bid on the repair plan.
Board Member Frank Cones, who
also has a county council seat, Joined
with the county forces in making q
motion to award the bid to the Ma
tional firm. John w. Friday sec.
onded the motion.
Start of Flood Program
Lingenfelter declared that $4,000
could have been saved IL bids were
rejected and other firms allowed to
bid on the repair plan.
There is some question about
the legality of the award since the
. competing bidders did not under
stand there might be an alternative
bid Lingenfelter said
Figured on a unit basis the Ma
tional bid was more than double
the price bid by the other firms on
new span, he said
Engineer Lingenfelter cited
the insufficient footing OF the Col
lege Ave. bridge which toppled re-
Gently into Fall Creek and warned
against inadequate piers in urging q
new and wider Morris st. span.
First Flood Step
Letting Of the contract was the
first step in the S2,760000 flood pre-
vention program between Morris and
Raymond SITS. Cost will be paid As
per cent by each tn city and county
and 10 per cent by benefited prop
erty owners.
The delay in dredging of the cham
mel and building Of levees by the
city is holding up a part of the $14,-
100000 Belt Railroad track elevnr
ton agreement. The part between
w. New York st. and English Ave.
must be begun thirty days after the
city let's the contracts and completed
in ten years.
