By the Associated Press.
The Agriculture Department., Presi-
dent Roosevelt disclosed today, expects
to make loans to farmers on 200, ,000,-
900 bushels of the 1888 wheat crop.

600 bushels and that domestic con-
sumption and export Of wheat during
the marketing year beginning July J.
1888, is estimated at 750,000,000.
Loan Held Necessary.
He advised that under these con-
ditions loan to producers of wheat
on the 1888 surplus of some 0,000,-

sirable that the wheat on which loans
are made be stored in grain elevators

ernment"
To do this, Mr.. Bell said, the Secre-
tary will have to license and super
wise additional grain-storage facilities

VI in "Mannequin" entered its
a second lap at the Palace yes
terday, 1t is a picture, in case you
have not heard, which restores Miss
Crawford 70 her old Cinderella role,
and while it is not exactly a great
contribution to the art of the film. it
is lot better than The Bride Wore
Red" her last previous work.
There IS not much you can do to
freshen the appearance of the highway
from rags to riches, but letting Spen-
Ger Tracy represent wealth is some-
thing resembling a piquant item. Mr..
Tracy, who never was an actor to let
even an unimportant role down, is
making his first appearance in q din
ner jacket. and while it does not make
him look like Prince Charming, it is a
pleasant departure from the rough
dress of his previous screen parts. He
lmpersonates a self-made man who
made lot a practitioner of the simple
virtues Of honesty, friendliness, SINGER
ity, and it is obvious from the Begin
ming that he is just what Miss Craw-
ford's Hester street heart actually is
set upon.
Before she can marry him. however
she has to go through pretty stupid
matrimonial chapter with q handsome
bounder (played by Newcomer Alan
Curtis) which pretty we'll skaters her
illusions. In the end, however. every
thing comes out just as you knew it
would from the first minute Tracy's
eyes looked into Joans and faltered.
Cinderella. you know. never was a girl
to go on missing happiness forever.
There is some very convincing back
ground in the early part of Name
quin" to show you how dreary Hester
street life really is and how really
sound was Miss Crawford's yearning
to marry into penthouse. Less ef-
fective is the palatial part of the pic
ture which lapses into the conven-
tional groove.
