FALL Of WHEAT
IS CITED BY
FORBES
By B. G. FORBES

The fall of wheat to the low.
est price in five years IL .
much more important develop
ment than the drop in call money
from 10 to per cent at the
tail.end of the Wall Street week.
The money rate is likely to re-
bound forthwith, but not wheat,
notwithstanding that it looks too
cheap in the neighborhood OF
dollar a busheI at Chicago.
Happily, Industrial, railway, pub
lie utility and general business
news continues cheerful insuring
record.breaking financial results
for most companies and most
industries in the first half Of
this year.
It is significant OF the hold
stock speculation has on the
mind of the American public
that far more attention was dc.
voted last week to a speech by
the president OF the New York
Stock Exchange than to the seri-
GUS decline in grains.
Speech Amazing
That speech admittedly was
amazing in several respects. It
conveyed very clearly that the
chief official of the stock ex-
change decries all warnings
against the ongoings which have
been witnessed in Wall Street:
and he conveys the distinct i'm
preston that he is bullish on
stocks. a most unusual stand for
the head of the nations chief
stock exchange to take publicly.
Again, MIR. Simmons chose this
time of widespread agitation con-
cerning rampant speculation and
concerning the operations Of the
Federal Reserve Board to advo-
cate a fundamental change in the
Nations banking system 10 favor
stock speculation. He advocates
the basis for borrowing from
Federal Reserve banks, a pro-
posal which was emphatically re-
jected by the trainers Of the law
which does not stand ghost of
a chance of being Endorsed by
Congress.
Curb On Loans Needed
The New York Stock Exchange
should be the last institution in
America to urge tamperinS with
the Federal Reserve law in he
present temper Of the politicians.
II any changes should be made
it is a foregone conclusion that
they should be designed, not to
make carte blanche borrowing by
stock brokers from reserve banks
possible, but to curb borrowing
by stock market interests.
II brokers are willing to borrow
almost $1,000, 900, 900 at the very
high interest rates which have
ruled for both demand and time
loans, how many more billions
would they absorb il rates were
halved?

"And do you know where

minute? To a flat-a nice,
quiet little flat he leased for
her an had decorated for

''That's a lie. It's all a

Eddie snatched the paper
from her hand.

he barked, and out the door
he bolted.

A tenderness suffused her
face. Then it faded under
a black mien of resolve. A
sneer of contempt was what
Eddie saw as she put her
'hand on his shoulder and
jerked him around.
"What kind Of a cluck
are youf" she snarled.
Haven't you got any CUTS

stand. "You love her,
don't you" He hesitated.
He started to shake his head
up and down, then changed
Don't lie to me. You re.

frantically. But he had
stopped denying. "And she
loves you, too-if that's any

was soiled. She rubbed her
palms together to get the
touch of him off. She
paced the floor now and
stopped again at his side.
"You amt fit to love a
girl-any girl, not to say
my Queenie. -
He opened his mouth. She
shut it again with a down
ward gesture of her right
hand.
"Bah! You think you

be-"
There was knock on the
door. Eddie came in.
Queenie turned her back
on him and picked up Sthe
gown. With a sudden fury
Hank seized it.
Queenie pulled. Eddie in
terfered in time to save the
costly garment from destruc-
tion.
"You start that stuff
again, an I'll move out o.
this dressing room, sister or
no sister," snarled Queenie.
Hank advanced on her.
"Who do you think you re
talkin' to?" she demanded.

not even for myself. An
this is the answer. She gets
stuck on you"
"She's stuck on that
Warriner," he answered,
sullenly.
ooh, my Lord. So you've
lost two sweeties tonight
an you sit there an suck
your thumb. Say, if I loved
you, I'd cut Queenie's s throat
before I'd let her get away
with you. An if you loved
Queenie the way you think
you do, you'd go out an
battle for her. If I loved
anybody, I'd take 'em away
from a. dozen WARMERS. "
"You mean that" he
gasped. "You were just
stringin' me-all the timef"
"All the time excep' right
now, you foolish fish,"
She laughed right into his
face. She banged her little
fists on the zinc dressing
shelf.
"Say-I'm so nuts about

Manley circuit that I can't

distance every night. He's

If he ever caught me lookin'

off o. me, you ham. I hate
you"
Stunned by it all, Eddie
let his hands go limp. Hank
was watching the scene with
numb bewilderment. Queenie
dashed back behind the
screen and was madly sour
rying into her party clothes.
Hank blinked her eyes and
raised them to Eddie to con-
vince herself it wasn't a
nightmare. So-that was it3
These two loved one another.
And she had never even sus-
pected any such catastrophe
behind the mess that the
few days had seemed to
make of her life.
Queenie came forth, Ed
die made a move to inter
cept her, but with a cat-like
stride she beat him to the
doorknob. She twisted it
savagely, yanked open the
door and flounced out. Ed
die shook himself and met
Hanks gaze. He shut his
eyes against it when he had
read it. He stumbled into
a chair and let his head fall
on his chest.
Hank crossed to the win
dow, which faced the back
street behind the theater,
where the motors Of the mil
lionaires waited for the
coming of the glorified. She
saw a beautiful car, glisten-
ing in its newness, draw up
at Queenie's feet. The
clean-cut chauffeur hoped
off and opened the door for
her. Out of the black in
terror sprang Francis War
riner, a beaming smile on his
good-looking face.
"Yours!" he chortled,
slipping one arm in hers
and waving the other at the
car as the chauffeur threw
on the inside lights and re-
vealed luxurious body, up
holstered in gray alligator
hide. Queenie gasped with
wonderment. Warriner help
ed her in as though she were
Dresden china. The chauf-
feur shut the door, which
clicked with that important
sound that only grand cars
can register. He took the
wheel, a lever slid in gear,
and the machine was off and
around the corner.
Hank closed the window.
She stared a moment at
Eddie's detected, collapsed
figure. Them a light of de.
termination appeared, a plan
seemed to be forming -and
she walked to where he sat.

Eddie nodded his acknowl-
edgement. In his heart
burned the first glow of
success. But on his cheek
burned the slap. from
Queenie s hand apd in his
soul burned a resentment
against Francis Warriner.
Queenie s spot in the final
lineup was among the ace
principals. Hank was in
the second line. The girls
walked to their dressing
room together. Against the
door stood a large box en-
bossed with the name of a
Park Avenue costumer.
Hank looked at the tag. Of
course, it was addressed to
Queenie. She carried it in
and shipped the string.
Within lay a gorgeous
gown of shimmering cloth
of-silver. On it was War
riner's card, inscribed:
"For my Queenie to wear
tonight. ="
Hank tore the card to bits
in temper. She threw the
gown at Queenie.

Hand aimed a swing at
Queenie, who lodged and

engaged in a hand-to-hand
struggle with Eddie tearing
them apart. When he had
separated the girls, Queenie,

of the room, glowering all
about her as she cried:
"That s the blowoff. Here
after you live your life an
I'll run mine. That's that. "
She started behind the
screen to dress, taking her
precious gown.
Hank turned after her,
then sank to her knees, Sob

"Oh, Eddie-don't let her

Eddie gritted his teeth,

Queenie popped out her

"I'1l break his neck-an'

The glance was rather a

It meant "Shut up!" But

Queenie ventured a look
toward Hank. She was

SONORA ACTIVITY RENEWED.
Battle Impends at Naco; Manzo Moves
North from Sinaloa.

Battle Impends at Naco; Manzo Moves
North from Sinaloa.
NOGALES, Ariz., March 80 R).-A
renewal of revolutionary activity in the
State of Sonora, birthplace of the revolt
in Western Mexico, was apparent to-
day with indications of an impending
battle at Naco and receipt Of word that
Gen. Francisco r. Manzo, commander
of the rebel army which attacked, but
failed to capture Mazatlan, was on MS
way Northward from Sinaloa.
Sonora is predominantly revolutionary
in sentiment but is menaced in three
places by the proximity Of federal
troops. To the west, Gen. Abelardo
Rodriguez has troops on the Sonora
Baja California border. A federal army
recently was reported nearing Culiacan,
Sinaloa, on its way North. Last, but not
least, is the loyal garrison at Naco,
south of Bisbee, Ariz., which for two
weeks has been holding the fort for the
government despite the mact that all
Mexican territory around 1t Is In the
hands of the rebels.
Reports at revolutionary headquarters
at Nogales, Sonora, were that MANGO
army was massed at Quilan, Sinaloa, Its
base camp in the campaign against
Mazatlan. There was said to have been
no disorder in It's withdrawal from
Mazaltan. Whether Manzo will return
to Nogales was not stated.
Edward Koehler, American aviator
flying for the rebel forces, arrived at
Nogales, Sonora, last night from Mazat-
Ian. He said he had been the leader Of
five rebel flyers in the Mazatlan attack,
but that the planes had been used for
making observations and not for actual
fighting.
