BUYERS WORK IN HARMONY

u
Surplus Marketing Administration
has been doing most of the extra
buying and its operations will PROB
ably equal if not surpass food pur-
chases for Army and Navy which
are estimated to total $500 million
for the year.
There is a little evidence of these
two biggest buyers not working in
the closest of harmony. SMA does
q good bit of distress buying to
support tagging prices. Naturally. it
can't announce in advance that it
is going to buy a million cases of
canned tomatoes or the price would
Immediately rise. The OPM pur-
chasing division is also a canny
buyer. and watches markets for
surpluses and distress prices.
SMA's purchases reach astound-
ing totals in some categories. From
March Is to July y, SMA has
bought, for example, 156 million
pounds of lard, Al million pounds
of dried and frozen eggs. 10 million
pounds of cheese, $50 million pounds
of pork, 122 million pounds of dried
prunes, 172 million pounds of dried
beans, 40 million pounds of cheese,
and SO on.
Anyway you look at it, there are
no immediate shortages in sight
for the average dining room table.
Grains are available in surplus.
Beef and lamb supplies are report
ed adequate. Pork may be tenn
porarily short in the fall and WIN
ter. Hens were never more CO.
operative and the egg and poultry
supplies are breaking all time pro-
duction records. Early spring de-
mands for more vegetables have
been responsible for an estimated
20 per cent increase in truck patch
acreage. Dairy products may ir
time be a little shy for, like a ma
chine tool, it seems to take two
years to manufacture a COW thai

HOLLYWOOD, July 23-The fact
that this is a wear -what-you- please
town makes all the more striking
the foppishnesS of Adolphe, the
Magnificent Menjou. 1t must be
admitted that his fantastic ward
robe is a great asset though a
doubtful compliment to his ca
reer. You'll get an idea of how
much clothes mean to him per-
sonally when you learn that he
has just built house for them in
Beverly Hills.
Menjou and his wife, Verree
Teasdale, live there too The place
has the atmosphere of a Bond
Street tailor shop or a Park Ave-
nue haberdashery. They are get
ting along fine, but under other
circumstances I think it would
be funny if an actress sued for
divorce and named a top hat as
correspondent.
Back in the days when it was
considered important for movie
people to maintain an imposing
front, Menjou augmented his per-
sonal elegance by buying a 22-
room mansion in the Oak Park
region of Hollywood Even with
his wardrobe, which wasn't so ex-
tensive then, he and Miss Teas
dale ratified around in the place,
so they closed off about thirds
of the establishment and lived in
one end of it. Menjou tried to sell
it and finally did

set of Father Takes a Wife. Off
the downstairs hall is room
entirely devoted to the Menjou
shoes, boots, leggings, CATERS and
spats There are several hundred
items, all perfectly kept and a
few brand new.
Across the nall from the shoe
is a roomful of sports
wear and equipment. Everything
from pith helmets to scarlet riding
coats, ski suits TO bathing trunks.
Farther along the hall is a mir
rored lounging room where the
actors formal attire is kept. Here
are morning suits, top hats, tail
coats, several shades of Tuxedos.
scarves, gloves, canes, mess jackets
md all the rest.
In an upstairs room are his bus
ness suits-about 100. And in an
adjacent alcove is a completely
equipped haberdashery-shirts, ties.
ocks, soft hats, handkerchiefs un-
ierwear, suspenders, jeWelry.
There are few otner rooms, of
curse in which the Menjous live.

idious man / know about is Boris

CHTCAED GRAINS

CHICAGO, July 23 UP)-Short
covering, preceded by buying plac-
ed to the account of mills, boosted
prices for wheat sharply on the
Chicago board of trade today after
brief period of weakness at the
outset.
Around $1.05H for September,
sufficient selling was encountered
to check the advance. The July
contract showed the most strength,
narrowing its discount a fraction
under the deferred position.
Reports of a good flour business
during the past week and rather
unfaVorable weather conditions In
the domestic spring wheat area
were minimized by belief that the
crop is well along and that high
temperatures will tend to hasten
maturity.

Yale Headed For Fifth Loss at Ithaca;
 Wesleyan Wins, 2l-2O
iRx United Pressl

(by UhAt&u TEesSD
 Yale University's eleven, still with plenty of fight after four defeats in Q row, packs up its travelling bags this weekend for an invasion of Cornell, where the favored Red Raiders confidently expected a "breather" game.
 The Ellis fell before Brown Sat- urday In 6 game played in the mud and slime of Q rain-drenched Yale Bowl. The single touchdown of the game, which gave the Bruins Q 2 to 0 advantage, was scored with about five minutes to play in the final quarter. A forward pass to Dick High on the line of scrimmage, and dash of SS yards after the catch, proved the margin of victory.
 Before the score, 1t was purely Q kicking duel, with each side waiting for the breaks which never came until the final minutes.
 The big upset of the day in Con- necticut, however, was the startling victory by Wesleyan over the fav- ored U. s, Coast Guard Academy eleven, 2l to 20,

Every time you see Minnesota beat Michigan, you are tremendously iFi- pressed by the size of the operatives. Urban Odson, Minnesota tackle, stands six feet three and comes In at PAT pounds plus the weight of c brace on his leg. Odson is an aEl- chor man, all right, but he didn't make the other young savages ap. year small.
 The Minnesota boys look like any, thing but Q group in search of cui. ture and play the same way. And Michigan wasn't asking any favors. The casualty list makes it clear the athletes couldn't have done much more damage had they been armed with clubs and knives.
 Navy engages neither Minnesota nor Michigan, and after what trans pired at Harvard the midshipmen no doubt are just as well pleased. The Oroton boys aren't SO bad at diehing it out themselves. Here was one line Swede Larson's double shift couldn't wear down.
