 A bit of green chiffon protruding from his coat pocket attracted her attention. Her eyes narrowed. Be- fore he was aware of what she was doing she had grasped the bit of cloth and removed it. It was a woman's trailing green chiffon handkerchief such as is worn with an evening gown.

 She ran to him. "oh it's bleed I ing frightfully,'' she exclaimed. Thrusting her hand into the bosom of her dress she pulled out the green chiffon handkerchief. Here, she cried.

Commodity Price
Changes for Week.
BY II. \. McGILL,

EDITOR. g0CSul SOIlHlOullS SetNiSS, Inv
AUBURNDALE, Mass, May 10 (P.-
Commodity prices for the third con-
secutive week moved sidewise showing
no definite trend. The groups that
advanced we're limited primarily to
the agricultural products. The agri-
cultural group moved upward reflect
ing the severe drought and the radi-
cal contraction in the prospective
grain production for this year. Paint
materials increased due to higher
quotations for linseed oil and turpen-
tine. Finally, textiles moved higher
under the leadership of cotton and
silk, and the fourth group that in
creased-vegetable oils-also reflected
and higher prices for inseed oil,
which more than counteracted weak
ness in cottonseed and china wood
oils. Five groups during the week
declined, namely, live stock. building
materials, hides and leather. ferrous
metals and coarse textiles All other
groups remain unchanged.
Industrial prices moved in align
ment with the general index as there
was no change from the previous
week. Preliminary reports point to
the beginning of a seasonal recession
in industrial activity.
Farm Prices Advance.
Agricultural prices successfully ad-
vanced under the leadership of wheat,
corn. barley, cotton and flaxseed.
Other important items such as oats,
rye, eggs and beans ruled lower dur
ing the week
Live stock prices lost some ground,
the decrease being due to hogs, sheep
and lambs. Cattle averaged frac-
tionally higher.
Hides and leather prices declined
during the week as hides lost y cent
and calfskins lost 4 cent.
Non-ferrous metals recorded no
change from the previous week and
the fractional decline in ferrous
metals was due to further weakness in
steel scrap.
Fine textiles increased due pri-
marily to higher quotations for cot
ton. Silk recorded but little change
on the up side, while all other items
remained steady.
Coarse textiles recorded a down.
ward trend, the movement being due
to burlap and hemp.
Changes Are Limited.
Generally speaking. commodity
price changes during the week we're
of a limited character, rejecting the
general conservatism that is now
dominating commodity markets.
Most important changes in the
McGiu weekly price index G926
equalling 1000 are as follows:
