FINDS MONEY MARKET
POSITION UNCHANGED.
New York Reserve Discovers In
crease in Bank Loans on
Securities.
Rv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 2.-The New York
Federal Reserve Bank, in its monthly
review of credit and business conditions,
states that "there has been no essen
tial change during the month in the
position of the money market" from
the situation which prevailed at the
end of March and resulted in the crisis
which sent the call money rate to 20
per cent.
The review points out that the re-
duction in call loans, which amounts
to S177,000,000 since February 6, when
the Federal Reserve issued its first
worning on the excessive use of credit
for speculation, has been Offset by an
increase of 1924 ,000 900 in bank loans
directly to customers on security COL
lateral. The reduction in brokerage
loans since they reached their peak. on
March 20, however, has been 1901 ,000.-
900, and since that time bank loans
on security collateral have decreased
S24,000,O00.
1T is clear" states the review, that
the total amount of credit employed in
carrying securities remains slightly
larger than early in February. but Is re-
duced from the high point of March 20"

WHEAT CLOSES STRONGER

CHICAGO, May R-Frost in
Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri gave
firmness to wheat values today despite
bearish unofficial crop estimates. 1t
was figured by Chicago trade authorities
that the domestic Winter wheat yield
this season would be about 10000 900
bushels more than last year On the
other hand, with the new wheat crop
jointed over a large area extending as
far North as Lincoln, Nebr, freezing
temperatures led to fears of consider

NEW YORK, May Few companies
have shown steadier progress i'll the
past seven years than the two leading
manufacturers of chewing gum. The
earnings of Wrigley and American
Chicle have increased year by year and
at present it looks as if this steady
growth would continue indefinitely.
Wr;gley.
The William Wrigley OH Co. has
shown an unusually steady growth in
earnings since its formation in 1891.
Until 1919 it's stock was closely held,
but since then there has been an in
creaSing outside interest in the COM
pany, and not long ago large offering
of new stock was made to the public.
Wrigley was one of the original be-
levers in the power Of advertising,
Within the last eight years it has spent
$50, 900, 900 on advertising, although it
carries goodwill on its books at slightly
over six million. Many years of large
advertising expenditures have made
Spearmint, Doublemint, Juicy Fruit
and PKs chewing gums trade names
of unusual familiarity.
Like most we'll advertised products
for which the demand is recurrent,
sales and earnings have grown steadily
if not spectacularly. Even in years OF

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 2.-The capture
of one of Americas newest and most
promising industries has been deter
mined on by the Middle West The
centers of that great section of the
country, long identified with the pro-
duction of raw materials. now have SAL
lied forth into the manufacturing field
and have decided that their peculiar
advantages will give them a command
ing lead in the production of aircraft.
This intent has been crystallized into
action by a score of Midwest centers,
including cities in Ohio, Indiana. Illi-
nois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and
other States. st. Louis is spending $780,
900 in an aeronautical survey and for
advertising its advantages as an avia-
ton center. This survey has now been
completed and presents cogent argu-
ments for the location of airplane fac
tories and airline terminals In that
section.
Already Cleveland plants are manu-
featuring the major portion of the air
plane accessory requirements of the en-
tire Nation. Kansas City. Mo-: Chicago
and some Kansas cities are equally ad-
vanced along certain lines. Indianapolis
is turning out airplane motors, and
many sections of the South are being
called on for necessary textiles.
The survey just completed by St.
Louis outlines what also must prove to
be in some degree the advantages Of
that city and the whole Midwest. Per-
haps the arguments which are deserv-
eddy placed among the highest in this
survey are the level topography of the
Midwest, the favorable climate and the
freedom from fogs, declared by Col.
Lindbergh to be the greatest danger to
commercial flying.
Nothing is being overlooked by the
leaders striving for this new and grow
ing business. st. Louis. for example, al
ready has four aviation fields. Many Of
her buildings are marked SO as to direct
flyers to the most available airport.
Factory sites have been provided adj
joining these airports which will have
accessibility to power and Transports
ton and about which a workers resi-
Dental district may be built up. This
same advancement is shown in the other
cities of the section.

TOO HIGH \ PRICE
 By Alice JuG>On pcaie

When Mary was 10 years old she had good many of the sioVenly per sonal habits which are expected and forgiven in boys but are considered thorouehly scGnGalous in nice little girls.
 One oi Mary's little tricks was to stuff her soiled garments back into he bureau drawers instead of put ting them into the proper hamper.
 Her mother, in putting some clean clothes away one day, discovered this failing. There were guests in the house at the time. and Narys moth TT called them all 10 bear witness 10 her daughters disgrac"'ui ways.
 Mary still recalls the acute humilia- ton Of that moment.
 The disgrace Of public exposure cured her Of her sloyeniiness. There after Il public inspection of her bu- reau drawers would have revealed them at any time neat. fresh im- maculatc. As her mother said, she certainly knew how 10 put stop to that sort Of thing.
 II is almost always possible 10
 make a child conform 10 rules and standards if We do not care how high d piicc We pay, or what other values We sacrifice in the progess. i Mary learned 10 keep her bureau 1 drawers in order but she carried from the incident sting of shame out of al proportion to her misde-
 meanor as well as an hostility 10 ! ward her mott her which contributed it's share 10 lack of confidence and ! friendliness between them. Public humiliation is an effective i but expensive means of achieving | inn mediate good behavior. If Mary S
 mother had been patient of her un- l tidy habits. had used gentler if | less sure fire method 10 cure her, 1 Mary in all probability would be quite as neat as she is today. She would have carried from her child
 hood one memory less of cruel in- | justice.

 Tried to Diagnose Disease
 The apotheosis of folly in cOnnec- ton with diagnosis from handwrit- ing was the attempt of Albert Abrams. founder Of the electronic method. 10 diagnose the diseases from which famous persons in the past may have suffered by placing their signatures in his complicated machine.
 Of quite q different order are the studies made by Charles l.. Dana Of New York Of the handwriting in nervous diseases. For some 15 years he made patients suffering from such nervous diseases as paralysis aGitans Or shaking palsy; writers cramp. chronic alcoholism, general paralysis. Iocomotcr ataXia. epilepsy. Sonile deterioration. and other forms of tremor, write their signatures. Also. for purposes Of compa rison, he had them write the unfamiliar name, William Shakespeare" and some times long word like "Constanti- nople.'
