WHEAT RISE WORLD MARKETS HAILED As
 KEY ID RECOVERY

CHICAGO, Nov. 13. (P)- The up- ward swing of wheat prices was watched with greatest interest by Federal Farm Board members who saw in the advance of commodity prices signs that the worst is over" for business.
 Neither James Stone, chairman of the board, nor c. Williams, an other member, were willing to guess how far the current move ment will go, but MT. Stone said: We are very much encouraged by the advance in wheat prices"
 Wheat started with another rise in Chicago, Liverpool and London markets but eased off later and was generally little below Mondays closing levels when trading ended.
 The decline in prices followed the denial that Soviet Ambassador V. E. Dovgalesky had stated that Russia will export no more wheat this year or next At their best prices in Chicago were more than one cent above Mondays close.

SACRAMENTO, Nov. l2. R) - Prohibition era liquor killed 100 Californians during the first six months of the year, with indications that the 1881 total will be close to the 230 bootleg deaths of last year.

TOKYO, Nov. 13. (P)-The Jap anese military intelligence bureau at Mukden reported that large force of Chinese cavalry had prac- tically enveloped the Japanese right wing in a battle at the Japanese wing in battle at the Nonni River, and the situation is admittedly dangerous.

LEADING BUSINESS MAN IF JAPAN PASSED AWAY
 AT HIS TOKYO HOME

TOKYO, Nov. 12. (P Viscount Eiichi Shibusawa, Japan's Grand Old Man" of business died here
 Wednesday.
 ShibusaWa was a founder and an
 uncrowned monarch of the Japan
 csc business empire. He enjoyed an
 influence and fame quite as great
 as minister of state. His career
 was so closely interwoyen with the growth of modern Japan that his public life is in itself history of the economic and financial growth of the country. The Japanese called him the Nestor of their business world.
 He was 91 years old, born Feb ruary 13, 184O, the son of an indigo merchant, in small village near Tokyo. He received a thorough education in Chinese classics in his boyhood and later finished his studies in Tokyo, while the coun- try was still under the Shogunate regime.
 Inspired with patriotic zeal, he went to Kioto, the then imperial capital, where he entered the sery- ice of Lord Hitosubashi, an influ- ential hranch of the Shogunate Tokugawa family. Tn 1867 he was sent to France with one of the TokuWaga princes, but on the es- tablishment' of the Imperial goy- ernment in 1869, he was appointed 3 high official in the finance de- partment holding the post of junior vice. minister.
 In 1873, he left the government on account of differences of opinion on the question of budget esti- mates, never to return to the goy 1 7rnment service though he was Of [ ten offered the portfolio of the 
 Soon after his retirement from official life, Mir. Shibusawa estab- ished the First National Bank, the ,loneer of national banks in Ja- 'an, in 1873. Afterward he iden- flied himself with the commercial nd industrial progress of the en- 'ire and took the lead in almost all important business enterprises in- for the development and ex- of the country.
 He travelled widely in Europe and lmerica. His first trip was in 1902 or inspection of commercial and industrial progress in the Occident. Il 1909, at the age of 70, he visited ne United States as the head of l ne Japanese business delegation in eSponse to the invitation of the $ Chambers of Commerce. { n the autumn of 1916 he revisited { ne United States to study the com lerclal and industrial relations of t apan and America and to investi- ate questions of political nature { etWeen the two countries. r

INTRODUCE new
GAS IN COAST
PRICE BATTLES

LOS ANGELES. Sept. ID. U.P)-
A new grade and brand of gaso-
line was on the market here today
for motorists seeking bargain
prices.
The new gasoline, known as Blue
Flash, and sold by the Blue Flash
Oil company Of Los Angeles. was
generally credited to the Richfield
Oil company, although William G..
McDuffie, receiver, denied his COM
pany was selling such a product.
Other sources credited the Stan
dard Oil Company of California for
the product.
Selling at many Richfield sta
tions in distinctive type of blue
pump, the gasoline opened at 10k
cents aallon, but last night had
climbed in many instances to 1919
cents a gallon.
So-called bootleg gasoline, which
has been retailing for as low as 10
cents gallon, also climbed to l21A
cents in most instances.
The gasoline is a third grade of
the market here, distinctive from
the Ethyl types and standard
brands. Reports said its introduce
ton was for the purpose of COM
batting price cutting.

blandness so desirable, or special

The following rule is for o

BY SISTER MARY

LEW family dietaries contain
i enough fruit. 1t usually is
served only at breakfast. Con-
sequently the practice of serving
fruit salads and fruit desserts is
decidedly commendable from a
health standpoint.
Fruit salads seem to be an
especially happy choice for fall
menus. They fit in equally we'll
for luncheon or dinner and are
generally popular.
Children ordinarily are fond of
fruit salads and they are a whole
some and thoroughly satisfactory
concoction for the juniors. Care
should be taken that any inedible
portions, such as the seeds Of
grapes and raisins, are removed.
Very often a salad can be made
up of odds and ends of fruit that
otherwise might go begging. One
orange, one banana and two pears
or an equal quantity OF some other
fruit will make enough salad for
four persons. but used alone the
fruit would be inadequate for a
meal.
Fresh and canned fruits also
can be combined with good re-
suits. The dried fruits-dates.
prunes and raisins-are available
and are an acceptable addition to
many fresh or canned fruit COM
binations.
Avoid Too Many Fruits
The perfect fruit salad does not
use too many fruits in it's COM
position. However, when it's a
family affair" and a matter of
economy, variety can be used
with good effect.
Always be sure to include one
tart fruit in the salad combina-
tion. This prevents a tasteless,
uninteresting mixture and insures
a pleasingly piquant and appetiz-
ing salad.
The dressing is of utmost i'm.
portance. A delicacy OF flavor is
essential in order not to over
power the taste of the fruits. The
dressing must be just tart enough
to blend with the fruit. the salt

MOVING BOYS
BAND PROVES
BIG PROBLEM

MT. CARMEL, Pa, Sept l8. UP)
Transportation of Our Boys Band
and Drum Corps, reputedly the
largest boys musical organization "in
the world" is neither fun nor frolic,
those in charge have learned.
There are about 600 boys, most
of them under II, in the band, the
drum and bugle corps, and the
guard of honor.
Getting them to conventions, pa
rade cities and other places is a
problem large enough to tax the
energies of an experienced railroad
traffic manager.
The trip to Easton to participate
in the American Legion parade dur
ing the state convention there Of
fered a fair example
At the outset, they had to calm
one frightened youngster, who never
before had been on train and eX
pressed his dislike in loud crying.
He refused to get on board. Finally
a neighbor appeared and persuaded
him it was all right.
Hardly had the train got under
way when that cry SO familiar to
all fathers at the dead of night
arose. The boys wanted "a drink"
Train facilities to accommodate them
were soon exhausted. Harrassed
trainmen and band officials were
hard pressed to quench the general
thirst.
Casualties of a minor kind were
frequent. One boy had a finger
pinched in a door. Another devel-
oped an ear ache and let the world
know it. A third turned up with
a blistered foot. A fourth was
stricken i'll. A fifth fell by the way
side while parading.
