This selling was coincidcnt with
vigorous buying Of selected stocks on
reports of excellent earnings, stock
dividends and larger cash distribu-
tions to share holders. Taking the
increased car loadings as an indica-
ton that general business is holding
up we'll, pools were again active.
Special buying was evident in most
of the important groups. including
railroad equipments, tobacco, farm
implement and foods.
United States Steel, after selling
as low as 1913, rallied to 1897 follow
ing the publication Of the untitled
tonnage figures, showing q loss of
$4,000 tons, somewhat greater than
had been expected in some quarters.
Other pivotal shares, however, were
on the downward trend at / O'Clock, a
good many issues relinquishing
earlier advances. Heaviness cropped
out particularly in some Of the oils,
motors and western railroads, espe-
ciaIly Union Pacific and Chicago and
Northwestern.

MARKETS
By Associated Pres Leased Wire
WHEAT PRICES
GO DOWNWARD
Market Is Affected BY lndi-
cations of Better Weather
in Northwest

Chicago, May 10. ar - Wheat
prices went down grade today affect
ed by indications Of better weather
northwest. Furthermore, notwith-
standing that the government crop
forecast was bullish as compared
with last years final figures, it was
given in many quarters bearish
construction when compared with
the figures issued ut this season
last year. The market acted over
bought and, with export demand
slow, declines were easily attained.
Wheat closed heavy 2 cents to 2ss
cents net lower, corn " to cent
down, oats u to %GDM cent off, and
provisions showing 2 cents to 10
cents decline.
Decided weakness shown at times
today by wheat was in the face Of
fresh reports of winter crop damage
southwest. A leading authority on
field conditions wired from Wood
ward, Okla, that the present outlook
in the Texas Panhandle is for a yield
Of only about one-fifth of last year,
and that generally two to five bush
els an acre would be a high csti-
mate.
On the other hand, considerable
notice was taken today Of the fact
that the government forecast of
500 100000 bushels winter wheat
yield this season in the country as a
whole is the largest since 1920, and
compares with only 54S,00O,O0O bush
els year ago. In this connection.
it was pointed out that with general
condition l.6 per cent better and
acreage 100000 more than last year,
any prediction of much larger crop
might easily find fuIfillmcnt.

New York, May 1O.-(R-With

public speaker, is certain to rivet
the attention Of every nearer by his
thrilling story.
Wonderful Views
Among the pictures thrown on the
screen will be views Of the great
dirigible airship, Norge, leaving
Rome. Italy, cheercd by large crowds,
while others will show the desccnts
that were made in England, Russia,
Norway and Spitzbcrgen, where sup
plies of fuel and provisions were
taken on board. Then will follow a
pictorial record of the Norge's de-
parture from Spitzbergcn and its sub
sequent arrival at the North Pole,
where a series Of wonderful views
was obtained. The final episodes
will include the crossing of the Arc
tic and the completion Of the voy-
age at Teller. Alaska, where the air.
ship descended in the midst Of a
terrific storm.
In recent months the whole world
has united in paying tribute to Cap
tain Amundsen, the fact being rccog-
nized that it was largely owing to
his courage and resourcefulness that
the airshin voyage of 6,82O miles
PAVVSu ouCO0coluis oIuCC HIS ulSCOF-
cry of the South Pole in 1911, which
followed other notable exploits. this
famous explorer has been decorated
and honored by every country. He
has been described as "a modern
Viking" and today he undoubt eddy
ranks as the worlds foremost ex.
plorer. The greater part of his life
has been devoted to exploring vast
areas of the Arctic and Antarctic, a
work which he has carried on with
an utter contempt of danger.
Is Noted Speaker
From his youth upward Captain
Amundsen has spoken English fluent
~. and for years past has been noted
as public speaker. In telling the
story of his adventures he invariably
makes hit with his audiences, be-
cause of his ability to describe what
he has seen in the most graphic
language. He is. not only a great ex-
pl0rcr but also man Of the highest
culture, having graduated with honors
at the Christiania University before
he sought fame in the region of the
two poles. In his forthcoming lecture
he will unron picture after picture,
showing the great airship at differ
emit stages of it's historic flight, the
frozen wastes of the Arctic, the vast
expanses Of ice at the North Pole.
He will also. show the men of his
party and give an intimate account
of life on the airship as we'll as the
perils of the voyage. While crossing
the Arctic all food on board was
frozen solid and the great dirigible,
bombarded with chunks Of ice thrown
off by the propellers, narrowly es-
capped destruction. Captain Amund-
sens audience, in short, will hear a
story Of courage and endurance that
has never been surpassed in the an
nails Of human achievement.

There are as many measures Of
prosperity as there are viewpoints.
To one man prosperity means the
ownership of an automobile. For the
public officials who collected auto
mobile license fees amounting to
about $3.50, 100000 in 1926 there is an
indication of national prosperity in
the fact that 23,O00,O00 automobiles
are registered in the United States.
Bankers see prosperity in our enor-
nous savings on deposit. Last year
new annual savings in the banks of
the United States rose more than
S1,5O0, 100000 to the record high per
capita savings average of $211. To-
day our savings deposits total more
than $25,OOO,0O0,000 and our savings
depositors number close to 47,00O.-
900, a gain of more than 100000 in
a single year.
Steady employment at good wages
is another index. The average real
weekly earnings of industrial work
-ers, their actual earnings in relation
to living costs, were 20 per cent
greater in 1926 than in 1914. Ac-
cording to the National Bureau Of
Economic Research, the average

OLD-FASHIONED WAYS
Stella E. Fulton

when Grandma comes, hope
she won't upset Betty's training
She's so old-fashioned, I'm afraid
she will want to interfere with the
child's schedule and give her all
sorts of impossible things to eat
Mrs. Treadwell had said when the
vigorous old lady had announced her
intention of making visit.
But, on the contrary, Grandma
had no suggestions to make regard
ing Betty-Betty who was finical
about her food, restless and impati-
ent bursting into tears at slight pro-
vocation and altogether too pale and
languid.
Betty lived in a household of
grOwn-ups. Grandpa enjoyed taking
her to the movies any pleasant af-
ternoon. Cousin Mary donated pink
chiffon bonnets and white broad
cloth coats. Her father brought
home pair of real kid gloves, just
to see her eyes shine, and doll so
fragile and delicately arrayed that
someone had to be continually re-
minding her not to drop it, not to
soil it. Mother took her on her
shopping trips, proud of the attent-
ion she received in the stores.
And still Grandma said nothing.
Until one day young Mrs. Treadwell
remarked, q don't see how mothers
in your day ever succeeded in rails
ing their families. They paid so
little attention to diet!"
Grandma must have been slightly
ruffled for she replied, eve weren't
perhaps as careful of the food that
went into their stomachs as you are,
but we were a good deal more par
ticular about the food we gave their
mind. We maybe did give them too
much spice in their victualS, but not
so much in their amusements. We
didn't dash in a lot of excitement on
the top of a full day. We didn't
take them about through crowds to
over-stimulate and exhaust them.
You say you don't want Betty to get
a taste for highly seasoned food.
Well, our children didn't get such a
taste for excitement that they
couldn't enjoy quiet day at home,
reading or working. Excitement
arouses the desire for more excite
ment, just as the condiments you
worry about, cause a desire for
more condiments.
''You say that certain foods are
burden to a child's delicate stomach.
We never made playthings burden
A child ought not to be continually
pestered about taking care of a
fragile toy. If Betty were my child
I'd put away that fancy doll until
she were older. A simpler one
would be better for her now.
