Some selling came into Coca-Cola
and the issue dipped from its early
high of 1914 to 811$, the latter off
Ia points. Canada Dry ginger ale
ranged between 8% and 81, the
latter unchanged from the previous
close.
Steel issues were bid up late in
the day after ruling firm through
out the early dealings. Steel COM
mon reached 271a, up Is, and the
preferred also made a fair gain.
Rail Group Moves Up
Allied Chemical one of Thurs
days weak spots, rallied more than
2 points, as did Eastman Kodak.
Gains Of fractions to more than a
point were noted in Case, United
aircraft, Auburn, Du Pont, Inter-
national Harvester, Westinghouse
Electric and American Can.

The bow and arrow not only
played an important part in his
tory as defensive weapon, but
it is believed to have been the
forerunner of all stringed musi-
cal instruments.
The sound of a taut bowstring,
when plucked with the finger,
could have been but little less
musical than the first harps of
ancient man, and it is from these
prehistoric instruments that our
modern piano has descended.

Wheat Closes Higher but
Fails to Hold All OF
Gains.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-Wheat fluc-
tuated erratically on the Board Of
Trade Friday, reacting around a
cent from the early high to close
steady.
Speculative activity broadened
early, but bulges continued to meet
the persistent selling that has met
all upturns of late, making traders
cautious. Corn was more active
and held the greater part of the
sharp Woodworking. bulge. Closing
OF spreads with wheat was a fac
tor in holding the former grain up
while wheat reacted. Oats and rye
followed the others.
Close Is Strong
At the close wheat was Is cent
higher, corn Il cent to & cent
higher, oats 4 cent higher, rye IS
cent to q cent higher and barley
Il cent higher. Provisions were
steady.
Winnipeg was inclined to lag
early, although export sales again
were placed around 100000 bushels.
in addition to Thursdays 1900 900
bushels. Liverpool rallied from its
lows and closed Il cent to Il cent
higher. Trade was more active
than for some time early, with pres
sure practically absent and COM
mission houses buying. Cash prices
were unchanged. Receipts were "A
cars.
May Corn Rises
The efforts of local operator to
buy May corn shortly after the
opening found offerings scarce and
sent prices up more than a cent.
Shorts covered on the way up, but
there was some selling and the best
prices were not held, the market
selling back to q to q cent higher
at mid-sesSion. The possibility of
the house passing the repeal mea-
sure was the chief factor. Ship
ping sales we're $4,000 bushels and
100000 bushels were booked. Cash
prices were Il to p cent higher. Re-
ceipts we're 1856 cars.
Oats participated in the better
sentiment and advanced 4 cent
early with greater activity than has
been witnessed in several weeks.
The low prices encouraged buying.
Cash demand was good with $4,000
bushels sold. Cash prices were I'M
changed to 4 cent higher. Re-
ceipts were Is cars.

Proceed Slowly

The judiciary committee of the Legisla- ture wfA do well 10 consider carefully the argume nts pro and con on the elimination of thrs offices of coroner and medical exam iner. A hearing on this proposal was held at Il lse State Capitol this afternoon and repo It is expected perhaps by Friday of this wee' or the first of next week at the very late tt. It is not the first time that an effort lsass been made to prove that these county offices are unnecessary and can be filled by anH enforcement officer, but it has the ad- vantage this year of being rated as an ecEDnomy measure. And in these days any ming that can be termed. economical IS ddubly appealing to ordinary citizens as wall as legislators.
 However, we cannot let the occasion pass without coming to the defense once more of he office of coroner and medical examiner. Tn the past these offices may have shown : .jeficits. We don't doubt but what the ln crease in the number of violent deaths has caused the coroner and medical examiner to devote most of their time to these official duties. Hence. it is easy to see why the costs of these offices run higher than they did some years ago. But transferal of their du-  ties to other officials won't decrease the costs one bit in our estimation. Anybody to whom is assigned the task of investigating violent deaths and returning true findings must devote more than few leisure mom ents to the task
 It is obvious that medical reports, such as those submitted by the medical examn- CT, can't be given by layman or even an enforcement official. That is work for phy- scian only. And if the average enforcement agent can perform the necessary tasks of finding witnesses to fatalities interrogatIng them and then fixing responsibility for the violent death be or she is particularly gifted and wasting bis or her time at present oceu- patton. We can't quite, conceive any but trained person performing the duties that a coroner now does. We sincerely trust that the judiciary committee will weigh well these considerations and act accordingly Haste sometimes doesn't make economy but waste

Railroad Trends

The report of the National Transporta- ton Committee, of which Calvin Coolidge and Alfred E. Smith were members, will not accomplish much immediately but helps to chart future course. The railroads are a great and growing problem. They are and will remain. indispensable. Their conditions have changed much, and continue changing. They are overcapitalized and nearly bank rupt. Their plight is complicated by the competition of motor. water and air trans portation.
 Certain tendencies seem plain from this report and from general observation. Create consolidation is inevitable. It. may grow in time to complete unfieation of our national railroad system With increasing size there necessarily comes increasing regulation by the federal government.
 Consultations naturally tend to absorb not only rail competitors, but air. truck and water lines. There might be, some day. complete unification, national transport system under broad government control with perhaps secretary of transportation in the Cabinet. That might be under private ownership or government ownership. If the R. F. C. keeps on pouring government loans into the rail system. by way of blood transfusion public ownership may come by that route. Few want it. But what peo- pie want may have little to do with the matter.

A Book a Day
 by BRUCE CATION
A Wanderer Comes Home

A rather murky mysticism and a very real and deep feeling for the living earth give Saunders Oak" by Robert Reynolds, an un- usual and distinctive atmosphere "a blend of ecstasy and eerie dread that makes the book, for all its faults, one that you arc likely to remember.
 This novel tells how lusty Ed Saunders, the last of his line, re- turns after two decades of wild and fruitless wandering to the New England farm Of his ances- tors.
 His farm is to be haven for him. Having roamed afar, he wants, now, a home, wants to take root i the friendly soil and claim his heritage among the green hills. But life is so complicated that the task isn't easy.
 Adjoining his land Is the farm home of Lavinia. the sweetheart of his youth, now an aging. frustrat- ed and embittered housewife. And to Ed Saunders farm comes Opal the outcast woman who would not let him bury his wild past. For third complication there is Edith, Lavihia's daughter, who tramps the hills at night. writes impassioned verse and steeps herself In vague shadowy mysticism.
 With these three women the mans life is now entwined: and to the working out of his plot MT. Raynolds brings certain dark power-a feeling of dread, a sense of mystery. an awareness of beauty, ably interwoven.
 The one trouble is that the feel ing of reality is missing. You never quite feel that you are reading about flesh -and-blood people.
