WHEAT PRICES DECLINE

Chicago, Oct. 14 R-Sharp set bac':s in Liverpool wheat qutations resulted in a decided early down. turn today of all grain values here. Every delivery of wheat in Chicago touched a new low price record for tn present crop. General timely rains in Australia and lower ex- change rates from Argentina were bearish factors, together with cheap Canadian and Russian offerings of wheat abroad. Some complications in Chicago trading resulted from a change of rules so that dealings were both in new and old style con- tracts, but brokers quickly adjusted their operations to fit the altered circumstances.

Nurse Improved After ,34 Days in RespiratOr

Chicago. Oct. 14 R)-Frances Mc- Gam, student nurse who has spent 34 days in respirator at a Chi cago hospital, breathed normally for 40 minutes at one interval last night.
 Hospital authorities today said this was the longest interval she has been able to use her breathing muscles since they were impaired Sept. II by infantile paralysis and artificial respiration was resorted to in order to save her life.
 They said 1t would be 'very hard to estimate how long she must re- main in the respirator," but that she was making slow but sure progress. Each day she is given longer periods to breathe without aid and within a short time should be able to func- tion normally for an hour or more, physicians said.

EMBASSY THEATER

Any girl aspiring to success on the stage or talking screen should read great deal, according to Ann Harding, who plays the lead in Girl of the Golden West" the Belasco success which ends tonight 8; the Embassy theater is a First National and Vitaphone special production.
 Miss Harding believes that the key to understanding and depth of feeling comes from wide reading of good literature, and that an actress can put a great deal more into a part, and play much wider variety of roles if she has covered a great deal of ground in literature. She feels that this is largely the key to her own success.
 Miss Harding herself wanted to become writer before she went OF the stage. She,is a graduate of Byrn Mawr, where she majored in languages and music.
 Tomorrow will be shown the sea- sons biggest two feature program.

SURGEONS RACKET
 ATTACKED TODAY
Doctors Who Operate Needlessly
 Criticized in Session

Philadelphia, Oct. 14 (UP)-Dr. c. Jeff Miller, incoming president of the American College of Surgeons. criticized ''pocketbook" operations in an address at the opening of the surgeons congress, attended by 4,- 900 persons.
 His remarks were made before the 18th annual hospital standardization conference, one of the important ac- tivities of the congress. He offered several suggestions to protect the public against surgeons who operate to laid their pocketbooks instead of the patients" and criticized those who lack adequate skill and perform unnecessary operations.
 Hospital statistics should be in- voked to help correct the evil. he said. Records make it easily pos sible to determine whether the per- centage of deaths after a particular type of operation by any given sur geon is running seriously higher than after similar operations by his colleagues, Dr. Miller said. It is the duty of the staff, he pointed out, to deal with such a situation.

H. 5, TRACK TEAM
 CANDIDATES MEET
Coach Depot Talks to Athletes
 on Keeping in Condition

Cross-country candidates of the Senior High school met yesterday afternoon after school in room 12O. Although tho turnout was not as great as that of the first meeting this year, the group was a large one.
 Coach Lionel M. Depot called the meeting in order to get the group organized and to speak to the boys on training. Coach Depot told the candidates that he will leave the matter of training entirely up to them, but they should realize that lt they wish to succeed in track they must keep in condition. The first run of the season will be held on Thursday afternoon of this week after school. The workout will probably be more of a walk than a run as it will be the first practice of the season. The candidates are to run every Monday and Thursday afternoons after school from the school around the regular cross- country course.
 All candidates have been examin- cd by the school physician and have been declared to be physically fit to partake in track activities. Each workout will probably see the boys running the course a little faster. Coach Depot announced last night that he would not time the runners until after about three weeks of training.
 The meeting yesterday was at- tended by Stanley Neverdoski, ex- captain of the track team and for mer football star on the New Brit ain team. who visited the school yesterday afternoon to renew ac- quaintances. Neverdoski is now at tending Fordham.

Football Insurance Is
 Suggested by Daily

New Haven, Oct. if R-lnsur- ance for men who come out for football was suggested by Yale News, undergraduate daily, today which said the wisdo om of the prin- ciple was unquestioned.
 The Yale athletic management once gave consideration to a plan of football insurance and dropped 1t. The News holds that 1t would be a good thing for an arrangement to be made to cover doctor bills and hospital attention up to & given maximum, even if the athlete paid something toward the insurance and the association made up the bal ance.

STRAND THEATER

w Hat luO"s
 So spoke Sidney Howard, the playwright, when he heard an out line of the story being prepared for Gloria Swanson's new picture.
 What Widow!' What a title!". Miss Swanson exclaimed.
 And so it came to pass that the title was adopted for the new Swan son talking and singing comedy which is the current attraction at the Strand theater., And Sidney Howard shortly was seen rolling kither and yon in a new front drive coupe. What price inspiration in Hollywood!
 What Widow!", directed by AL Ian Dwan, is a United Artists picture and perhaps the most pretentious offering by Miss Swanson in years. The supporting cast is headed by Owen Moore, Lew Cody and Mar garet Livingston.

ALARM INCREASING
 AT STATE DROUGHT
New Britain Escapes Shortage
 Felt by Rest of Connecticut

New Haven. Oct. if lR - Rural Connecticut has gone dry and is get ting drier every day with October's blue skies showing no signs of rain.
 Serious difficulties are being ex- perienced by farmers whose wells and streams have been shrunk by the continuing drought. Ordinary sources of water have become con- taminated, the forest fire menace has been increased and the life of game and fish threatened.
 Cities have not felt the pinch of water shortage but warnings have been issued that every drop should be conserved as the levels in reser- voirs are exceedingly low.
 Many farmers haul water sev- cral miles to supply household and livestock needs. In some places neighbors are sharing their water. In Brooklyn the water from the town pump has been pronounced un- fit by the state laboratory.
 State officials have requested everyone to stay out of the woods until the hazard of forest fires has been eliminated by hard rains. While no serious fires have been reported, brush fires are daily presenting a menace. One man, Patrick Brennan, a member of the Norwich fire de- partment, died of monoxide poison ing while fighting a blaze near that city.
 The low levels of streams have ex- posed game fish to predatory natural foes, according to the state board of fisheries and game. Bolton Lake Is almost dry.
 Hartford and New Britain water supplies are low but in no danger Of exhaustion, officials said. but New Haven sees limited service in the near future unless rains fill the res- ervoirs.
 And when those rains will come. no weather man is willing to guess.
 The situation in New Britain is not alarming. according to officials of the water department, and it has not yet been found necessary to sound a warning against waste, al-

Urge Tariff Protection
For Crude Oil Products

From the Oklahoma City Times.
Oklahoma is intensely interested in
the effort Of independent oil producers
to secure an oil tariff, that American
crude may be spared the competition Of
cheaper crude from Latin America.
Other States in the rnidcontinent field,
as we'll as every other section Of the
quantities, must share this approval
and applaud Writ Franklins determine
ton to continue the fight. backed by the
Independent Petroleum Association, of
which he is president.
In the recent defeats Of oil tariff
measures in the Senate the iadepend-
ents marshaled strength enough to
prove their fight need not be considered
hopeless. They are fighting powerful
opponents, skilled in the use of political
power. They are handicapped, too, by
the fact that most of the States are not
important oil producers. while all States
are consumers of petroleum products on
q large scale. Those States with little
or no oil production may be inclined to
feel that 1t is to their best interests to
keep crude prices at low level.
They will continue to feel that way
until they are made to see that the
importers are less concerned in con-
serving Americas oil resources than In
establishing q monopoly in the indus
try-a monopoly for which the public
would pay dearly, as the public of other
lands where the monopoly is an accom-
plished fact is now paying. The indie
pendentS face the necessity Of enlight-
ening the people of the Nation. and
through them their Representatives and
Senators, on the purposes of this fight
that Standard Oil and Royal Dutch
Shell are making for the control OF this
vital commodity.
It is apparent that the independents
can expect nothing from the present
Congress, but all Representatives and
many Senators must face the November
elections. There will be many issues 1r
the congressional campaign, but there
are States and districts where fight or
incumbentS because Of their favoritism
to the oil monopoly may be made effec-
lively. Writ Franklin faces a large
task, but he brings to it gifts Of organi-
zation and leadership and confidence
in his cause that should be felt In fu-
ture sessions Of Congress.

it gave the impression that 1t was salts
fed to have at least two other nations
faster In the air by something like one
hundred miles an hour. Such COM
placence is not particularly conducive
to the feeling Of national pride that is
so important to any country.
Now that everything has been straight
ened out the danger of another misun-
derstanding seems past. The Navy, II It

ford expenditures for this vital phase
Of fighting plane development If italy,
England and other nations can afford
them, and appropriations should be
made Immediately available In order
that some Of the lamentably lost time
may be made up. The extent to which
America has Jagged behind can be re-
allied when the top-speed figure of this
country Of two hundred and sixty-six
miles an hour in landplane and the
English mark of three hundred and
fifty-seven miles an hour in a seaplane
are scanned. Americas seaplane record
Is puny two hundred and forty-f1ve
miles an hour.
It is obvious that the time has ar
rived for action. With the Navy work.
ing on speed development and Congress
furnishing adequate funds, America may
regain some Of its lost prestige in the
air among nations.

Seeks Fourth Term

From the New York World.
Addressing q meeting called for the
purpose Of inviting him to seek fourth
term, Gov. Albert G. Ritchie Of Mary
land said the other night that he saw
no reason why he shouldn't run or why
his 10 years In ONCE should in any way

words, he will run. And it will be
interesting to see the outcome. For the

that there appeared last year q roads

what has come to be known as the

which assures you that II you climb

It Is a poor system, one Of the things
that all our various State governments.
What it results in is the elevation OF
dreadfully mediocre men to high ONCE.
It would operate exactly that way this
time in Maryland, for the various seek

Thanks to Mr.. Coyle.

The encouraging feature about a
speech like that delivered in the House
yesterday by Representative Coyle Of
Pennsylvania, in which he urges a re-
turn to the 60-40 principle of appro-
priating for the District and suggests
the appointment Of a Joint committee
to study the relationship between the
District and the Federal Government,
is that it connotes an interest in the
physical aspects of Capital welfare and
a desire to remedy whatever may be
wrong. The District suffers more from
a lack Of interest in and a consequent
lack Of understanding of its problems
by members of Congress than from
any other one factor.
There has seldom been any legisla-
tive proposal for Capital betterment
that did not receive the sympathetic
support of Congress, provided that it
assumed tangible form, free from the
intricate controversies over equity and
fair dealing that so frequently come as
the natural Accomplishments of such
legislation. But the threat of contro-
versy often Is enough to kill legislation
in one swift stroke. And without con-
troversy, not necessarily acrimonious,
but involving perforce the presentation
of conflicting views, the Districts plea
viii never receive the attention it de-
serves.
Mr.. Coyle's speech yesterday reflected
sympathetic study of the problem of
Capital financing. His suggestion for
the appointment of a joint committee
Of Congress to examine the relationship
between the municipality and the Fed
eral Government was made with the
thought that 1t is only through the i'm
partial examination of the facts that
fairness and efficient government will
survive.
His views are called to the attention
of his fellow members of Congress, all
Of whom, it is granted, have the well
fare and the best interest of their Cap
ital at heart.
