of the ancient Mayas.
The race that reached cultural heights
far above the rest of their neighbors IN
prehistoric America put all their eggs

the Job of destruction. there was no in

Secrets Were Lost.
The eggs In the basket were broken
and the secrets Of the Maya civtliZa-

TO develop were lost. The race. I'm the

NEW YORK, May "a feature
in the market of the moment is
the list of securities leading the
advance. These issues are, in the
main, those which were holding
firmly to their previously best prices
and are representative Of dominant
factors in their particular line Of
endeavor. This brings to mind the
possibility of more activity and an
advance in the market valuation OF
other stocks in similar position, but
in industries where improvement is
due such as Sugars, Rubbers, Oils.
With the Delaware and Hudson
meeting scheduled for today some
official news as to the distribution
of the receipts from the sale of Wa
bash and Lehigh Valley may be
made and at the same time a clear
idea as to whether Pennsylvania is
to hold or distribute part of the
ownership to the other Eastern
Trunk lines. With the stock markets
of New York, London and Paris,
sustaining new record volume and
prices, spectators are being treated
to spectacle never before wit
messed. That this condition can
exist in face of repeated effort on
the part of Central Banking Agen-
cies to curb the fervor is eloquent
proof of confidence by the trading
public and except for temporary
breathing spells now and then, this
confidence gives no sign of abate-
ment.

WASHINGTON, May 8.-Judge
Edwin B. Parker, prominent leader
in the United States Chamber Of
Commerce, today exhorted organ
lied business to clean house of dis
reputable elements.
Speaking before the Chambers
sixteenth annual convention, he
asked for outlawry of those whose
ruthless methods tend to discredlt
all business" and of chose pirates
whose acts bring business generally
into disrepute."
Referring to recent conspicuous
examples Of individuals, prominent
in big business, becoming intoxi-
Gated with power and involved in
transactions tainted with fraud and
corruption" Parker declared such
persons bring down upon business
the thunderbolts of public wrath"
This in turn results in legislative
and governmental regulation of
business, placing upon it an undue
rein, he said.
Inscriptions business men, he
said, must be branded as social
outlaws" stockholders profiting
from shady deals cannot escape
the moral stigma adhering to such
profits.
Congressional investigations, he
suggested, are proper unless bust
ness investigates itself and is frank
with the public.

CHICAGO, May 3.-Weaker Liv-

weather reports sent wheat into a
sharp slump at the opening on the
Board Of Trade today. Prices were
off Is to 1 cent, with no quotation
for May.
Corn was also off at the opening.
4 to % cent and oats were down
u to 4 cent. Provisions were
sharply higher.
BeariSh reports featured wheat.
Liverpool prices were lower than ex-
pected and weather reports were
favorable. The general belief of
traders is that the heavy selling
Monday has taken the edge of the
market for the present. Good
abSorbitive power was shown.
Corn sentiment is mixed and there
is much selling on the bulges.
There is a liberal short interest in
this grain, however, and hedge
sales are easily absorbed.
The cash demand for oats con-

orally shows strength. Reports from
