largest was $3.50 for posting pictures
and distributing literature.
This isn't all the money that has
been expended" woodward broke in
during subsequent questioning by Chair
man Steiwer. He handed up a state
ment showing expenditures Of 1881 "a,
explaining this was spent by him out
Of his own funds before there had been
receipts from other sources.
The two items totaled $3.50, bring
ing the now known total spent on be-
half of the Commerce Secretary's cam
paign to $259,121.
Gave $4,000.
Scarcely had this total been struck
before woodward volunteered that
Huston, former Assistant Secretary OF
Commerce, had given $4,000 to the
West Virginia organization. woodward
said he himself was willing to advance
a total of $4,000.
woodward testified he knew nothing
of the financing of the campaign OF
Senator D. Goff, who is opposing Hoover
in the primary to be held on May 20.
your expenses are running about
$40 a day. according to your figures,
Senator Steiwer said.
II think that Is correct" woodward
said.
woodward said he had been one OF
those who had come to washington to
urge Hoover TO enter his name in the
West Virginia primary, but he testified
that he knew nothing OF any proposal
of bankers to finance the Hoover cam
paign.
Senator Barley, Democrat, Ken
tucky, brought out that the expenditures
listed plus the total of the advertising
contract would aggregate $l9,125. This
did not include salaries of the office
force at headquarters and the expenses
of men sent into the State.
That's about what figured it would
be-" woodward said, but then he pointed
out there was a duplication Of one
weeks expenses amounting to over
$4,000.

of the 13-month year in earnest. Al
ready he has the support of nearly 100
prominent Americans, who have agreed
to Use all their efforts to get public
opinion aroused to the benefits OF such
a calendar.
Should such movement be success
full, new calendar consisting OF 13
months of % days each would result
A new month between June and July
would be added.
Business would be greatly helped
by it." says George Eastman.
The National Association of Cost Ac-'
countants has Endorsed the move. So
have many other organizations.
If Monday happened to be the first,
1t would then always be the first, the
eighth. the fifteenth, the twenty y-second
and the first. again.
No one raises objection to it. The
difficulty is merely lack of interest, bu-
George Eastman is not used to people
ignoring matters in which he happens
to be vitality interested, nor will he
allow this movement for a 13-month
year to be ignored.

"BlG MONEY" is FINDING
PROFITS IN LOAN FUNDS
By tie Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, october 30.-"Big
money" which long has turned cold
shoulder to "little money" apparently
has opened its eyes to the fact that
the collection of a few dollars here and
few more there makes sum quite
worthy of consideration. ~.s,..
That may explain the sudden growth
in the number, and resources of COM
panieS loaning funds to wage earnerS.
One concern alone is planning to put
out $50,000,000 in such loans next year
and there are dozens of others ready to
do similarly extensive business. Then
there are numerous banks inviting the
Borrowing of small but necessary sums
on good collateral, such as securities or
the signatures of friends.
Much of the small loan business,
however, probably will be done by COM
panies making loans under the uniform
small loan law affecting sums below
$500. With interest rates on personal
loans averaging per cent month,
millions of dollars passing over their
counters and the call money market
hungry for any temporarily idle fun,Ss
such companies evidently see a good
opportunity to turn little money into
big without undue risk and with small
overhead.

Jack Horner a Real Personality.

A direct descendant of the original
Jack Horner, who put in his thumb
and pulled out a plum" has been
found. He is Julian, grandson and heir
Of the late Earl Of oxford and Asquith,
whose mother was formerly Miss
Horner of .Mells Manor, Somerset.
Legend has 1t that the famous Horner
of the nursery rhyme was steward to
the Bishop of Glastonbury in the
reign of Henry VIII. The bishop, a
lover of good fare, built kitchen with
stone roof and boasted that 1t could
not be burned down by "all the Kings
men," To which the King replied,
ominously: "Is that SOP" Fearing to
lose his estates, the bishop sent his
steward, Horner, to Henry with an
enormous pie. but his enissary's curl
osity was such that during the journey
he pried beneath the crust and found
the deeds of IL manors belonging to
his master. A prudent man, Horner
extracted only one deed, that of the
Manor of Mells. now the Horner FAM
ilys seat. That was the plum. The
King was satisfied, the bishop kept his
kitchen.

WHEAT VALUES SAG
ON INITIAL DEALS
Revised Estimates of Crop in
Northern Hemisphere At
feet Market.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, october 30.-Wheat values
sagged today after an opening advance.
Revised estimates of the wheat crop in
the Northern Hemisphere indicated a
total world crop of 298,000000 bushels
more than last year. Opening unchanged
to "a UP, wheat prices hardened little
more and then receded all around to be-
low Yesterdays finish. Corn and oats
were firm, corn starting 4 to q up;
and then holding near to initial hgures.
Provisions were steady.
According to estimates current today,
the world crop of wheat aggregates
4lO4.OO.00O bushels, compared with
3.s06, 900 600 bushels in 1927. However,
the Yield of other cereals in Europe Is
smaller and, therefore, larger quan-
titles of wheat are likely to be import
ed than last year. The total European
requirements of wheat, nevertheless,
ere still figured at 824,000,0 600 buShelS,
about 30o,00000o bushels under the
available surplus.
Comparative steadiness of Liverpool
wheat quotations today, on the other
hand, helped to induce some strength
at times in wheat at Chicago, eSpe-
cially after downturns. In various
quarters the action of the Liverpool
market was ascribed to buying orders
from America, but it wes also pointed
out that Liverpool stocks of wheat are
decreasing Another steadying influence
was talk from some trade leaders that
IL is advisable to treat the wheat
market now as a trading affair until
after election.

MARKET VALUATION
OF STOCKS MAY RISE
Indication of Gain Seen in Quota
tions of Shares on
Exchange.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special OtSpdtCH 10 4le obdA'
NEW YORK, october ga COM
p2r.son of prices of stocks at the end
of October with those at the beginning
of the month indicates that there is
to be another considerable addition to
the market valuation of all shares dealt
in on the New York Stock Exchange
when the final reckoning is made.
1t was stated a few days ego by
prominent banker that there had been
an increase of approximately $4,000
100000 in the value of listed stocks.
chiefly as a result of the rise in prices" ="
This is supposed to cover the period
since 1924.
The combined gains of July, August
and September were roughly S30O0,-
100000. or twice as much as the de-
cline in the June reaction. Except Tor
the motor group the results in October
should be nearly as good as those for
September. when the valuation rose
$500 900 ,000 .e.- -.
The most striking changes during the
month have been in the metal and min
ing stocks, those of the oil refining and
producing companies, in the mail order
shares and in what might be classified
as communications stocks. western
Union is the leader in this group with
a rise of over SO points. Radio Corpora
ton stock is up about 80 points.
Montgomery Ward has had an ad-
vance of 100 points, Shelters common
80 points, Atlantic Refining nearly SO
and International Nickel over so points.
The motors have not done so well
this month, with the exception OF
Chrysler, which is up 10 points, and
General Motors about 8. Until today
Hudson Motors was under the price ruiz
ing on October /, as we're Hupp,
Graham. Paige and Studebaker, with
others showing small change.
The iron and steel stocks will make
about the same showing as in Septem-
bcr. The big additions to the valua-
ton list, however, will come from the
oils, the metals and mail order, de-
partment store, telephone, telegraph
and radio issues.
Another month has passed without
bringing any definite improvement in
the rails, which in September were up
comparatively little. In the list of 20
prominent railroad issues majority
shows a lower price at the end of
October than at the beginning of the
month, especially what are known as
the standard investment rails. Some
of the rail specialties from the South
western group have. however, made
sufficient addition to their market value
to counterbalance losses elsewhere. The
public utilities have had spells Of ac-
tivity and strength during october,
but have not made the gain that took
place last month when they added near
ly $90,000000 to their market worth.
