Liverpool corn prices were depressed
on account of very large arrivals of
corn expected at Liverpool this week.
Under such circumstances, little or no
notice was taken of the fact that
corn belt weather conditions were un-
favorable, that country offerings to
Chicrgo were light, and that eastern
shipping demand here had improved.
Total primary receipts of corn today
were 100000 bushels, against $4,000
bushels year ago. Deliveries of corn
in Chicago today on December con-
tracts were 100000 bushels.
In the wheat market, an outstand-
ing feature was that the worlds avail
able supply totaIed 291 ,O24,OOO bushels,
compared with 237,895,000 bushels a
year back There were also advices of
larger offerings of wheat from Ar
gentina and Australia at sharp dis
count under wheat from North Ameri-
ca. Meanwhile, leading authority
here pointed out that with 80,O00,0 900
bushels in the United States wheat Wis
ible supply, 53,000,000 bushels in the
Canadian visible and 37,000,000 bushels
of bonded wheat in store in the United
States the situation did not suggest
any scarity for some time.
Oats were easier owing to sympathy
with other gIain.
Provisions declined, responsive to the
action of hog values and corn.

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Dec. 13 lP-With general
selling out on the part of holders of
future delivery, grain contracts led to
all-around smash in prices today. Corn
in particular showed weakness largely
as q result of an unexpectedly good
sized amount of corn being delivered
today to settle Chicago December con-
tracts Another source of weakness
was announcement of 4,102,000 bushels
increase of the world available supply
of wheat.
Closing quotations on corn were
heavy, SC to 31ac net lower, wheat &c
to 23sc down. oats Ac to 19sc off, and
provisions unchanged to zoe decline.
Increasing arrivals of corn in the
southwest and west of late had appar-
emily much to do with the bottom
dropping out of the corn market to-
day. The free movement of corn in the
sections named was responsible for
milking total primary domestic re-
ceip.s big compared to year ago,
and with a sharp break reported to-
day in Argentine and Liverpool corn
prices the majority of Chicago traders
turned to the selling side. In this
connection, it was current gossip that
corn recently bought for leading
speculator here had come back into the
pit.
New Argentine corn was reported to-
day as being offered for April ship
ment, and word was also received that

TOMBSTONES BARRED
FROM Pixies PEAK
U. S. Takes Cognizance of Fast
Cemetery Cannot Be Public
Playground.
correspondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo
Uncle Sam has taken official cog
nizance of the fact that cemetery
cannot be a public playground.
A new order prohibits the use OF the
summit of Pixies Peak as burial
ground. Placing of monuments and
tombstones on the peak have also
come under the ban.
The action has resulted from the re-
cent growth of the practice of scatter
ing ashes Of deceased persons from the
peak and the later erection of d mon
ument to commemorate the dead. The
scattering of ashes will not be stop
ped. but in the future no tablets or
monuments can be placed on the
mountain.
A public demand for the setting
aside of an obscure portion of the
mountain as a cemetery site may re-
suit in the granting of this request
by the United States Forestry Serv
ice, it was intimated.

Odor as Well as Color Draws Insects
To Flowers, 9 Years of Study Proves

Insects are drawn to flowers by both
color and odor and, once at them, are
guided by form and such markings as
stripes and dots.
That is one of the conclusions
reached by DIR. Frederic Z. Clements
and DR.. Frances l.. Long of the staff
of the Carnegie Institution of Wash.
ington after nine years of investiga-
ton at Alpine Laboratory, on Pixies
Peak.
Their study had it's origin in the
strange behavior of a hawk-moth
which, so years ago. flew into the
window of scientist and was OBJ
Sc. veG plunging it's tongue repeatedly
into flower designs woven in tapestry.
Experiments undertaken at that
time showed that the hawk-moth
which caused them to be started was
not very intelligent, as insects go. 1t

chief attraction of flowers for insects,

flowers and real blossoms disclosed
that few could be fooled by the
counterfeits however sllillfully they
might be arranged or scented.
Drs. Clements and Long. In their
study, undertook to determine what
elements attracted insects TO flowers,
the effect of competition among flowers
for insect visitors and the ability OF
the latter to adjust themselves to the
new conditions. Bees rarely were de.
ceived by artificial flowers, but such
meets as did visit them disclosed y
marked preference for blue, while red
was the least popular color. Pertaining
and flavorinG them with honey de-
creased their attraction.
Insect visitors" the scientists
found, exhibit great differences r.
size and structure. in skill and In
dustry. as well as its flower prefer
ence. Like people, they are largely
controlled by habit and their potential
intellige ce is likewise often concealed
by this fact"

SAYS CATS KILL BIRDS.
Game Warden Warns Against
Abandoning Felines. e

WICHITA, Kan.-The turning loose
upon the wide open spaces of Kansas
of the surplus cat population of the
cities must stop or drastic measures
must be taken to preserve the bird life
of the State.
This is the ultimatum of ]. B. Doze,
State fish and game warden.
"Chicken-hearted citizens uninten-
tionally are aiding in the destruction
of bird life when they dispose of the
yearly litter of the family tabby cat
by dropping the kittens in the coun-
try" he said.
kittens rapidly become wild in
such surroundings. A full grown cat
will destroy from 200 to 400 birds a
year. Domestic cats in a generation
or two become as wild as coyote
and as destructive"
