CHICAGO, Oct. 81 ON.S0.
Steadily rising wheat prices are
lighting the way back to general
prosperity, James e. Murray,
president Of the board Of trade,
declared today as wheat con-
tinued its climb.
Enormous buying orders again
flooded the wheat pit today and
carried prices up 2Ac q bushel in
the first hour Of trading.
Trade was exceedingly broad.
FirmnesS in Liverpool and further
advices to buy back contracts for
forward shipment OF wheat by
Russia were the bulliSh factors.
Liverpool was 23s to 25sd higher
due to scarcity Of C. i. I. offers
and active weekend covering by
shorts.
Coarse grains and rye were up
from 2s to 13sc a buShel in SYM
pathy with wheat. Some COM
mission house selling. was noted
on the bulge, but the undertone
was strong. At the top today the
corn market was SA to 99sc
above the low Of October S. Trade

Spectator Forecasts Early
Attempt to Break Through
110 Upside Level From 1N
BY THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, Oct. S1.-The
steadfast contention Of this
column that the market would
veer definitely to the upside was
convincingly demonstrated IN
yesterdays session.
The rails again assumed the
position Of pace-setter and there
have been few times in recent
sessions when strength in this
group failed to influence similarly
other sections.
Average Up to 1O4
AS measured by the Dow-JoneS
averages, the industrial index
moved up $50 points to q level
slightly under 104, definitely
taking 1t out Of the critical trad
ing range Of the past few days.
Unless some Unexpectedly ad'
verse development puts in an ap-
pearance, another attempt to
penetrate the 10 level on the
upside should be made in the
near future.
Because Of the average stability
Of the general food industry.
Standard Statistics is Of the opin-
ion that shares In this group
should be considered largely from
the standpoint Of conservatism
and income return.
Food Stocks Favored
Stocks favored in this group
are Borden, Corn Products, Gen.
eral Foods, Hershey Chocolate,
National Biscuit and Standard
Brands.
The quiet but persistent
strength in wheat which was ad-
vanced to new seasonal highs is
expected to stimulate speculative
interest in the shares Of those
companies whose fortunes are
closely intertwined with the
movements Of commodity prices.

HOOvERGROUP'S
JOBLESS AID
SCANNED 4
Plans Generally Sound, Says
Haney, But Weak in Idea
Credits Can Create Work
BY LEWIS HANEY
Director New York University


Bureau Of Business Research
The report Of the Hoover COM
mite on employment plans is. on
the whole, good. 1t indicates q
thorough appreciation Of the mag
nitude of the problem and shows
US the wide scope of the efforts
being made to relieve unemploy-
ment.
Especially welcome is the at.
tention given to the problem Of
the so-called "white-cOllar worker"
Where It Weakens
It is when the report attempts
to deal with the problem Of max
ing more work that it weakenS.
Here it takes up the subject OF
bank credit and advocates means
of increasing what it calls the
"fluidity" of credit.
Even on this subject, however,
the report is sounder than most
public utteranceS.
It frankly recognizes the limited
powers of the new National Cred1e
CORPORATION. It does not advO'
cate q change in the eligibility
rules of the reserve banks. II
saws that we might undermine
public confidence if we were to
allow reserve banks to make loans
ON less desirable security than
they now take.
Terms Confused
But there is a tendency in the
report to confuse "fluid1ty' WlCn
"liouodity." The committee seems
to think that floating a frozen
loan by shifting it from one oank
to another is going to be very
helpful.
This is open to question.
We do not know how many OF
these frozen loans are really
sound" And if these credit
pools are to act chiefly as "relie1
agencies" will they not be tempted
to be too lenient in taking over
loans?
Is there not real danger that
the credit of sound banks will Be
tied up in supporting the weak
ones?
Real Danger Here
You see, to mobilize" frozen
credits this way means that We
demobilize credit that is now
liquid. When business does ex'
pand, we may wish there were
no credit pools.
Finally, there is a real danger
that reserve bank credit ana
government credit may be drawn
upon to support all these credit
pools. That would almost Ger"
tainly lead to unSound initiation.

when the others had gone, their gay voices drifting back careless with light laughter, Sue looked at Jack. He was serious tonight. The whimsy was gone from his gray eyes. He looked tired.
 ''Sue," he said abruptly, ''how much money does 1t take to swing a house?"
 Mot much to swing one like we'll be having" Sue answered. I've been trained to be economi- cal. You'll be surprised at the things I'll make a dollar buy"
 Sure you don't mind sacrificeing a. little bit?" Jack asked. 1T hate like the deuce to ask you to. But can't see daylight"
 Don't let that worry you" she answered. Sue left her chair and went to sit on the arm of his. Jacks arm reached up and pulled her down and she brushed her lips lightly across his forehead. we haven't thing to worry about as long as we have each other. And besides, didn't you make money on that trip of yours?"
 He nodded. T did-but when I started to balance up figures 1t isn't as much as I thought 1t would be. Or 1t doesn't go as far as I thought 1t would. Something's the matter"
 Maybe we had better take an apartment and let the house go," Sue said slowly.

'Bastien, don't like your tone.' ? aha eaid frf1idly

''Bastien, don't like your. tone." she said frigidly.
 "And I don't like your goings on, Judy. They are hateful. He's not a man you ought to go about with. I've been hearing things"
 You mean you've been spying on mel" she interrupted.
 "Judy, don't look at me like that! He's a millionaire. You're a poor girl. He hasn't a good repu- tation. What can he want with you? Don't be angry. I'm a man. and understand the world bet- ter. Judy"
 He gazed at her in miserable ap. peal.
 Her fiery spirit was up in arms. She could hardly think for rage. So Bastien, her best friend. was accusing her of phiiandering with Bruce Gideon because he was rich, of laying herself open to blame, of behaving like girl who was no better than she should bel She went white and rigid. and turned on him an annihilating stare.
 My meetings with Mir Gideon are purely of a business nature" she said Jelly. T am taking up dancing as . career and he is ad- vising me-"
 Thus did Judy burn her boats. She would not allow Bastien to discuss the matter further. Her mind was made up, she told him. She was tired of models life. It was such hard work and one de- pended entirely on ones looks and one's health and the decency of ones employer. She was going to take up dancing, She didn't mind l working hard, and there might be something in it. Mir Gideon knew e lot about such things, and he was introducing her to Q teacher. That was all the information she vouchsafed. She ended by asking belligerently if Bastien wished to deny that she had talent for danc- ing.
 Of course. Bastien was forced to admit that she could dance like an angel. and that no doubt, given a chance, she would make tremen- dous success. It was plainly Bruce Gideon he could not get over; but Judy would hear no word against him. It was purely business mat ter, she told Dumont. Gideon was very kind in giving her advice that was all.
 "A business matteri" exclaimed poor Bastien. with 0 groan. Judy.

Elbows have & tendency to be- come rough and discolored un. Jess you spend 8 little time on them each day.,
 First of all, make sure that they are very clean. Have a little soft brush especially for them, and every time you bathe, massage and scrub your elbows until not 2 particle of dirt is left in the pores of the skin on them. It Is a good idea to use your cleansing cream on them when you put 1t on your face. Remove 1t carefully with cleansing tissues after you have massaged them with 1t.
 If they have become slightly dis colored, take measures to make them as white as your arms and shoulders. There are good bleach ing creams on the market, and lemon juice or buttermilk are ex- cellent "home" bleaches. Get in the habit. of keeping 8 piece of lemon over your sink and in the bathroom: when you rub 1t on your hands and finger tips. don't forget your elbows. It's quite surprising how few lemon juice applications what such freedom means. Not our idea of happiness, surely.

Twenty years ago the brides wore white satin of a dead white hue. The dress had leg of mutton sleeves with tight cuffs coming down well over the wrists. The bodice was fitted and the waist line was at the natural" waist. Sentf fment and economy prompted Annabel to use her
 mothers wedding dress for her own wedding which was occurring
 late in November.
 The ivory satin which had been
 a dead white had turned quite
 ivory with age. But 1t was @ color that could not be matched. And the leg mutton sleves were too
 soiled and creased to stand mak-
 ing over.
 The dress maker suggested that
 Annabel get more of the lace
 which had trimmed the bodice. Copies of rare old laces In the old
 ivory shades may be purchased in
 many shops.
 The lace was used to make an
 over jacket effect which came down well below the waist at back
 and sides but left the bodice line of the front unchanged.

 "Mothing." Then he changed his mind. "Sue, I've got some invita- tions at the office to parties and dinners. We'll have to do. And I want you to meet these people. But we'll have to do some entertaining ourselves. And my club dues are all falling due. Dad took care of them before. Paid them all. But now 1.
 I'm sort of an expensive addi- ton to the family" Sue said slow ly. You'd better let me go to work. And we'll take an apartment"

 Fine" Sue nodded. But hadn't we better walt until we're moved and see how much our expenses are going to be?"
 T guess you're right. We'll have to put some money aside for the housewarming, you know. Everybody will come. Let's forget it now. Sure you aren't sorry you took 8 chance on me?"
 Sorry I took chance on your" Sues very words were startled. "Of course not. Don't be foolish. Money doesn't mean anything at all to me. You should know that.'
 But all the rest of the evening Sue couldn't get the thought out of her head that a dollar sign was casting a shadow over the future. Money was important, she kept telling herself. They needn't wor- ry. But she wondered Why did girls try to keep their hearts free when they came in contact with men, who had nice disposi- tions and flat pocketbooks? Why did they say that it was better to give yourself a chance to take both love and money?
 But Jack was different! And she could do her own work and keep herself as attractive as ever. Any girl who couldn't was just ,.

 Accessories were the prayerbook bount in white vellum, ivory white kid gloves, lace handkerchief which had belonged to her grand mother.
 She did not carry flowers since the prayer book took their place. But her husband-to-be, nice man that he was--sent flowers to her mother.
 That little attention pleased the whole family. They felt as if they were gaining a thoughtful and con- siderate member rather than los- ing a dear daughter and sister to strange man.

have been reading a lot about Rusgia--about the status of wo- men and children in that new or der of things that the world is watching.
 In case you are one of the free and independent souls who wish for absolute freedom from the duties of herhood-provided you are a mother-or if you se- cretly harbor some longings for a state of government that will take the onus of caring for your children away from you, let me pass on to you small sketch of conditions in that far distant land known as the Union of Soviet So- cialist Republics.
 Some three or four years ago we are told, the idea of building children's villages or colonies in the country was conceived and several of them wer finished and tried. One contained quarters for several of them were finished and children were removed from their parents and were to be brought up and educated by the state.
 Plan Badly Received
 The reaction to this being un- favorable, resulting in a storm of | protest from the bereft mothers, the plan was temporarily aban- doned.
 But this is what has happened. You know that the workers, and nearly all Russia now are workers, men and women alike, for women are rapidly being drafted into in- kdustry, live mostly in community or rather "communaW houses. These houses are large, sheltering sometimes 500 families. A man, his wife and two children have one small room.
 In the building there Is a nurs- cry. A mother does not have to leave her baby there with the nurses but in the course of events she does. She cannot care for 6 baby properly in such small quar- ters, and if she is working she must do so anyway. And most women work.
 A mother may take her baby to the factory and leave 1t in the nursery provided there being per- mitted to see and nurse 1t every three or four hours, and she may either take 1t home or leave 1t in the nursery at night. But she is usually too tired to give it proper attention after her work and even- tually the nursery, that is to say, the state, gets it for good.
 Things are arranged to dis courage any mother from keeping her child any longer than neces- sary.
 Divorce is merely a matter of renunciation. Civilization based on the Banctity of the family as a unit looks on in amazement and shakes it's head. The American woman who dreams of complete domestic emancipation may get some idea from this picture of

 He replied at once, asking her to come to lunch at his apart ment, the following day, to meet

 You may feel that your elbows are too thin and that they look scrawny. Massage them with a heavy nourishing cream and do a few exercises intended to improve the appearance of arms that are too thin. If they are too fat and show a roll of flesh around the in- dentation, vigorous batting with astringent-soaked cotton pads may tend to reduce them. However, if you are overweight anyway, 1t is doubtful that batting will reduce any one part of the body.
