CORN PRICES
GO DOWNWARD
Liberal Receipts Have Bearish
Effect]Prices of Other
Grains Affected

Chicago, Dec. 27.-R,-Liberal
receipts Of corn had an early bearish
effect on the corn market today,
and tended also at times to weigh
down other grain. Arrivals Of corn
in Chicago today totailed IT'S cars.
Opening unchanged to ga cent off,
corn subsequently showed moder-
ate general setback. Wheat started
at l-8 cent decline to an equal adj
vance, and later receded little all
around. Oats were easy. Provisions
likewise Inclined downward.
Although corn prices underwent
an early setback today, evidence Of
power to rally showed itself later.
Indications of corn export business
acted as considerable OF an offset
for heavy influx of corn prices
today both at Chicago and at Kan
sas City and Omaha as well. Be-
sides, indications pointed to un-
settled weather adverse to con-
tinued free movement Of corn from
rural sources.
Comprt hensive advices at hand
were to the effect that most grain
dealers now are acting on the basis
that latest government figures as
to corn production ard also regard
ing oats yield are over estimates.
Talk was current that this is par
ticularly the case in many sections
where the ligh, test weight and poor
quality Of the feed grains have be.
come most apparent.

New Ignite Freight
Rates Misunderstood

Misunderstanding Of the new lig-
mite freight rates established for
interstate traffic by the interstate
commerce commission persists de-
spite attempts to clarity the situa-
ton, it was said today at the Of
fees Of the state railroad board.
Despite repeated statements that
the interstate rates have no bear
in on intrastate rates, freight
bills dated as late as December 3
show that the increased interstate
rates have been applied on ship
ments within the state, traffic ex-
perts for the board said. Attempts
are being made to collect the over
charges from the railroads. In adj
dition the railroads have been asked
to have their agents make an effort
to see that ignite is properly billed
for shipment in the future.
Receivers and shippers of Ignite
should watch their bills carefully
to see that the proper rate has been
applied and IL they are in doubt
should send their freight bills to the
state railroad boards traffic depart
ment for audit, it was said at the
board offices.
The last general increase in intra-
state rates on Ignite coal was made

home where he fired a shot into his
abdomen. He died just as he was
taken to Drake for medical atten-
ton.
Rath Very Jealous
Amplifing the story Of the shoot
ing, Miss Filler today told Of how
Rath, during the few months that
he has been calling on her, has ex-
hibited jealous attitude whenever
she talked to another boy friend.
She declared that she had become
fearful Of him because of threats
which she asserts that he had made,
and it was this factor, as well as
the reason that he was nearly six
years older, that prompted her to
inform him that she believed their
companionship should end.
The wound in Miss Filters left
arm is between the shoulder and the
elbow. The shot which was re-
moved was Of a small size.

MAIN TREND
STOCKS UPWARD
General Motors and United
States Steel Common Lead
Advance Movement

New York, Dec. 27.-(AP)-Price
movements in today's stock market
lacked uniformity, but the main
trend appeared to be upward with
General Motors and United States
Steel common in the vanguard OF the
advance. Call money was marked
up to five and one-half per cent, and
this had tendency to restrict spec
ulative operations, although the
higher rate was generally regarded
as temporary.
Buying Of steel common was in
fluenced in part by widespread re-
ports that ]. P. Morgan would be
named chairman Of the board Of d.
rectors of the corporation at the
regular monthly meeting late this
afternoon. Favorable steel trade re-
ports also were a factor.
The demand for General Motors
was stimulated by runors of several
surprise features when the new
| Chevrolet car is introduced on Jan.
/. Steel rallied from an early low
of 152 So to around 155. General
Motors moved up more than two
points.
Several strong spots also devel-
oped in the public utility, fertilizer,
rubber and sugar groups, while
| heaviness was most pronounced
among the oil, copper and merchan-
dising issues. Rails were rather
quiet, although a fair demand de-
veloped for Erie common.
Manatie Sugar, Commercial Solv-
ents, Continental Insurance, old and
Collins and Altman sold three to
five points higher, while Greene
Cananea, copper, Montgomery Ward,
General Railway Signals and A. NJ.
Byers sold down three points.

Oconto, Neb., Passes Away
This Morning

Oconto, Nebraska, Dec. 27.-lR-

-of Alma Overgard, tho 16.year.old

So days through the aid Of artificial
respiration, ended today. The girl
died at $3.50 this morning, conscious
ITO the end.
Failing since Christmas day, the
girls strength was almost gone last
night. She no longer joked with
her parents, and for the first time
during her fight for life complained
she was in pain.
Death ended the 36-day-and- might
battle, wherein frien Is and relatives
have increasingly assisted in artifi-
cial respiration, alte .nately pressing
the girls bod. and raising and low
ering her arms. There was no re-
spite until death won.
At the bedside were the father
and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. Peter
Overgard. Steve Overgard, an
uncle, was bending over the child
pressing air in and out Of her lungs
and whispering encouragement to
ner Wnen 6nc Olcus
Alma did not know she was dying
and those making the fight to save
her life did not tell her.
More than q month ago, the child
was stricken with paralysis, A
twin sister was i'll at the same time,
but recovered to aid in the fight for
lie.
Hypodermics were resorted to
yesterday when the child, weaken
ing, cried with pain. Her arms
were raw and disco. ored with black
and blue bruises, the marks Of the
losing fight.
Christmas eve she told her par
ents she would get well. I'm hap
py," she told them. Gee. I'm a
bother"

MODERN GIRL WINS
EDUCATORS PRAISE
"DeIicatessen-Auto" Exist
ence Is Result of Times, Says
College Executive.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, September 29.-The
modern American girl, although she
leads "a delicatessen-auto existence,
possesses a keen brain and is eager
to achieve, Agnes r. Wayman, heao
of the physical education department
of Barnard College, told the annual
convention of the National Council
of Girl Scout leaders yesterday.
The use of cosmetics too freely
smoking too much in the formative
age and the wearing Of insufficient
clothing she listed as some of the
faults Of the modern girl, but she said
she believed these were outWelghed py
many fine qualities.
THE modern girl is the outcome of
modern life" she said. "She reflects
Inc restiessness OF life in industry
religion, society and education. But
she has a brain, a keen and better
one than the girls of the preceding
generation. She sees clearly and
straight, she is frank and unafrald,
she has courage, she has initiative
she is not afraid Of responsibility and
she is eager to do and achieve. But
her energy needs to be directed ana
conserved and given a constructive
outlet. She needs. most of all, proper
guidance and leadership"
Miss Wayman recommended to the
modern girl an outdoor life. participa-
ton in a variety Of games for the
benefit to be derived rather than for
the mere desire to win.
Mrs. Herbert Hoover, wife OF the
Secretary Of Commerce and chair
man Of the national board of directors
Of the Girl Scouts, is presiding at the
convention, which opened yesterday
for q four-day session.
