Does it make you primp and preen,
Does it make you proud and mean?
Do you bawl your partner out

Do you find you cannot bear
Losing to another pair?
If it makes you sour and sore,
Quit the game forevermore.
But if bridge improves your style,
If it makes you laugh and smile,
If it builds respect in you

DEMANDS QUIZ
into WHEAT'S
RISE AND FALL
Senator Burton Wheeler Is
Behind Movement to
Call Operators.

b. Scripps- Hoiedrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. Nov. ia thor
ough investigation into the fall and
rise of wheat prices and reports of
millions made by grain traders was
proposed today by Senator Burton
K. Wheeler (Dem., Month.
Referring to the startling price
comeback, President Hoover's charge
that spectators deliberately had
pressed the market, and rumors that
Chicago grain operators had profit
ed from the recent recovery, Wheeler
said he woulu ask the senate COM
mittee on agriculture to summon
Arthur w. Cutten of Chicago, Jesse
Livermore of New York and other
bear interests, alleged to have
knocked the price down early in the
summer. The committee will meet
next Tuesday.
Wheeler said the public is entitled
to- know whether, as Hoover charged
on July 10, d conspiracy existed
among the grain gamblers to pre-
cipitate a collapse of wheat prices
as prelude to large profits result
ing from the return to higher levels.
He also urged that the farm board
be forced to tell what part, if any,
it played through its failure to
promise to lock up its sterilization
holdings.
Several other senators, including
William E. Borah (Rep., Idaho) and
Gerald P. Nye Rep., N. ID, have
exhibited an interest in the turn in
the wheat market. Borah says he is
at loss to understand the markets
antics, while Nye contends that only
one-third of the northwest'S short
wheat crop is on the farms and that
the farmer will get a small share in
the benefits from higher prices.

By Uaited Press
DENVER, Nov. 18.-The death of
a 20-year-old truck driver after be-
ing beaten by a federal prohibition
agent during a scufle over three
ounces of wine was expected today
to lead to a general investigation
of prohibition administration in
Colorado.
Two special officers of the federal
prohibition department, assigned by
National Director Amos w. Wood
cock, were here to investigate the
fatal beating of Milford G.. Smith
and also, it was believed, to delve
INTO the state prohibition problem.
Henry L. Dierks, the agent
charged with beating the young
truck driver, is at liberty under
$4,000 bond. He claimed he struck
Smith on the head with a pistol
butt in Self-defense.
The agent was charged with
murder in an information filed in
the judicial court. BY federal writ
the case was transferred to United
State district court. A move is
planned to remand the case to the
state courts.
The death of the truck driver oc-
casioned intense feeling in Engle-
wood, a Denver suburb, where he
had lived for a number of years.
The city council there petitioned
President Hoover, Woodcock and
Colorado senators and congressman
for a thorough investigation.
Witnesses to the beating of the
truck driver said he was sitting
in an Englewood hamburger stand
when Dierks and another agent
entered. DierkS attempted to take
small bottle containing wine from
Smith. The men struggled and

Victoria Johnson, sweetheart of
the driver, entered the hamburger
stand as Smith was being led out.
She said she asked the agents to
see that Smith obtained immediate
medical aid and that she was

Smith was taken to Jail and, it is
asserted, was not given medical
treatment for more than eight
hours. The next day he was re-
moved to a hospital, where he died.
Smith was buried a week ago to-
