 He held hard to her shoulders Little by little he quieted.
 "It was that accident2"
 "Yes, Drake. But don't try tc talk about 1t yet. You'll get vel now"
 His grasp loosened. She looked fearfully at him. He was quietel now. Very slowly he turned ht face to the wall.
 Randy turned away from the window where she had been stand ing. The frost-rimmed squares oi glass gave a distorted vision of the still cold day. She felt that her mint was like that wavy glass. She hac not true pictures of anything.
 Yes: Drake would live. It wa just here that all of the savage questions arose against her-arost and stood like an impossible bar. rier across her way.
 She went into the kitchen. Hel father had come in and had taker of his shoes to warm his feet al the oven door.
 "Going somewhere, Randy?"
 "Yes, I've got to get out for a while"
 Is Drake asleep?"
 T don't know. The nurse is ur there"
 "How long is she going to stay?' 'Dr Gordon said Drake wouldn't have to have her after next Mon- day"
 "How's he going to make out them"
 The sound of her fathers words cleared something in Randy's brain. Her face cleared, too. The quivering uncertainty disappeared. A simple resolution replaced 1t.
 Whats the matter, Randy? Change your mind?"
 "Yes. don't need to go out now"
 whats that2 What did you say?"
 1T said don't need to go now I know now" She spoke the last phrase half to herself.
 'What is it, daughter? What's on your mind?"
 T didn't know what to do. ] know now what I'm going to do."
 MT. Monaghan kept his eyes down. He didn't want her to see how much he pitied her.
 Listen, honeq. I want you tc hear what got to say"
 I'm listening. Go ahead"
 MT. Monaghan stood up. His gaunt, bony figure lowered above her. His shaggy white hair almost touched the low kitchen ceiling.
 Randy, you want to keer Drake here, don't you?"
 Randy lifted her hand to he1 throat and held 1t as though tc stop whatever was struggling fol uterance.
 "That's what you want, ain't it Randy?"
 Very slowly her eyes filled witt tears. Very Slowl her hand re- faxed. She did not make sounc but let herself sway and lear l aga1nSC her 1aLnerS DTeaSL as nS reached out and put his arm' around her.

HOW MARYLAND MOTHERS
HEALTH Is SAFEGUARDED
Prenatal Clinics in State Last
Year Helped $500 Mothers

Emphasizing the need of every eX-
pectant mother for medical advice,
continuous supervision and attention
during the entire period before the
baby arrives, skilled care at confine-
ment, and for some time afterwards,
DR.. ]. H. M. Knox, Jr., Chief Of the
Bureau Of Child Hygiene of the State
Department of Health, said that last
year over $4,000 mothers to-be, in the
Counties of Maryland, had the bene-
fit of supervision of this sort at the
prenatal clinics held throughout the
States.
Started in 1928, in a single county,
for the benefit of mothers of limited
means, the service has gradually
been extended DR.. Knox said, to
other counties. 1t is available now to
eXpectant mothers in twenty of the
twenty-three counties of the State.
In each county where they are
held, the clinics are arranged by the
County Health Officer, with the APP
proval of the local physicians and the
County Medical Society. They are con-
Quoted in cooperation with the Blu
reau of Child Hygiene by physicians
with special training and experience
in services of this sort and are held
at some central place at regular
time, each month. Follow-up care,
according to the instructions of the
clinic physicians, is given to the eX-
pectant mothers in their homes, by
the public health nurses.
The prenatal services are planned
especially for expectant mothers who
cannot afford the services of private
physicians. They include a prelim-
nary physical examination, measure
ments, blood tests, periodical tests of
the urine, advice as to diet, personal
hygiene and as to preparations for
confinement. Return visits to the
clinics are made by the mothers at
regular intervals for further instruc-
ton and advice. Care at the time of
confinement is not included, but adj
vice and assistance are given in max
ing the necessary arrangements for
care at home, or if advisable, in a
hospital.
"Services of this sort" DR.. Knox
continued, Safeguard two lives-the
life of the baby as well as the life
of the mother. Mothers come through
the waiting period much more safely
and the babies who have had share
in prenatal care have a much better
start in life than do those of the
mothers who drift along without med
ical supervision.
at is the responsibility of the
fathers as well as of the mothers to
arrange for these prenatal services
and to sec that the advice and in
struction of the doctor and the public
health nurse are carefully followed.
Conformation about the prenatal
services, the dates and places where
the clinics are to be held may be OBJ
tanned by those who are interested
from the County Health Depart
ments."

Low Prices for Lard
Blamed for Smaller
Yield Per Hog
Animals Are Heavier,
But Fat Production
Is Less Profitable
BY WILLIAM FERRIS,
Wide World Market Writer.

CHICAGO, July 18 - Although
hogs coming to market today are
comparatively heavy. trade sources
point out that the yield Of lard per
hog has been smaller than in recent
years.
In April the yield was 30.3 pounds
per hog; in May, 3l3 pounds and
is estimated at 317 pounds for June.
A year ago the yield per hog was
running three pounds above the cur
rent rate, and, in the opinion OF
market analysts. yield Of SO pounds
or more could be expected from the
weight of hogs now being marketed.
The reason for the decline in lard
output per hog, in the opinion of
traders, is the relatively low price
of lard against that Of pork meat.
Professors, they added. find 1t prof.
liable to reduce as much as possible
the amount of fat material being
turned into lard.
One analyst said that. If the lard
yield per head from Federally in
spected hogs during the current
marketing year had been equal to
the 10-year average yield from 1921
to 1880, the lard production in the
last nine months would have been
increased by 10000, 900 pounds.
Declining against the seasonal
trend, the supply of lard and rem
dered pork fat on hand on July /
was 15,448,o0o pounds less than at
the start of June. With the Agri-
cultural Marketing Administration
making large purchases for lend
lease export. traders expect further
sharp reductions in the lard supply
during the next few months.
Salable receipts of hogs continued
small this week and prices, rejecting
the low supply, gained about rs cents
to hit SIS on Friday. equal with the
peak for the past is years. Sows
comprised between 26 and 81 per cent
of the salable supply and were gen.
orally weaker.
Supply abatement stimulated steer
trade, with granted steers and
yearlings Is to so cents higher. Cows
were under pressure and mainly IS
cents lower.
Spring lambs closed steady to IS
cents lower.

Ore Volume Expected
To Rise Far Above
Last War; sPeak
TotoI Almost Half
Again as Large Is
Seen for 1912
By the Associated Press.

CLEVELAND, July 18.-Great
Lakes ore fleets, operating every one
of the 300 available boats. are busy
moving a seasons total expected to
be almost half again as great as the
biggest year in the first World War.
C. C. Lindeman, M. A. Hanna Co.
statistician, who complies figures
on the tonnage in commission, re-
called that total movement Of Great
Lakes ore in 1917 was 2,498 900
gross tons. This year he predicted
80 900 900 to 9o.0O0,000 tons will move
from the Lake Superior district to
lower lakes steel mills before Ice
stops navigation. Last year 80,116,-
900 tons moved.
The American Great Lakes fleet
is now capable of hauling 2,739,490
gross tons on a single trip, an in
crease of 1880 in the last month,
Lindeman reported.
In June steel mills daily consumed
234, ,444 tons of Lake Superior iron
ore-a record beating the 233, Sal
tons average daily consumption in
May. Total consumption this year
so far is 41960,455 tons, against
36,681 ,O83 at this time year ago,
the Lake Superior Iron Ore Asso-
citation said today.
During June three additional fur
naces were blown in to make 181 OF
an available 100 stacks in blast.
This equals the record established
April l this year. Because present.
day furnaces are much larger than
those formerly used, blast furnace
production is at an unprecedented
high.
On the first day of this month
furnace yards held 27,7l4,0O4 tons
of the red mineral and United States
Lake Erie docks 3,267,159 tons for
total lower lake stock pile OF 30,981,-
163 tons. This compared with 25,-
1917 tons month ago and 26,-
629670 tons year ago.

An increase in the price ceiling on
canned soup was ordered by the
Office of Price Administration yes
terday to compensate Gamers and
dealers for the larger cans and more

now required to sell.
The price order removed canned
soup from the universal price CELL
ing, and provided wholly new pric-
ing formula for retailers, wholesalers
and Gamers, effective Immediately.
The action was necessary, OPA
explained, because the War Produc-

Prospects Good for Bumper
Crop of Wheat in Canada
By @. H. MARTINSON,
Foreign Correspondent of The Star and
North American Nevspaper Alliance

Foreign Correspondent of The Star and
North American Newspaper Alliance.
WINNIPEG, July 18.-Prospects
for bumper yields of wheat and
coarse grains in Western Canada
have improved materially during
the past three weeks. The general
outlook is probably the best In
the history of the West.
Except at isolated points, the
common crop hazards and deteri-
Grating factors of past years are not
in evidence The sawf1y, which
made its appearance last season fol-
lowing an absence of many years,
will again take some toll OF the
wheat crop this year. Early frosts
are a potential threat and are un-
doubtedly mentioned as a possible
source of damage due to the cool
weather experienced so far this
season.
This information is revealed in
the Winnipeg Tribune's fourth crop
report for the current season and
based on replies from correspon-
dents located in every crop-report-
ing district in Western Canada.
Most Stands Are Heavy.
More than so per cent OF the
wheat crop is now headed out and II
practically all districts stands are
heavy. The condition of oats ano
barley generally is good, although
In some areas late-soWn crops art
backward. Slightly more than A.
per cent of the barley and about 81
per cent of the oat crop is headee
out.
Flax is good at most points and II
Alberta many correspondents re-
port the crop now Towering. MI
merous late-sown fields show heaV,
weed growth.
Taking the West as a whole, TIT
general moisture condition is goot
and the majority Of points can q
more than two weeks without rain
Warm weather is needed in prac
tically all districts to promote NOR
rapid development.
Seventy per cent of the CORE
spondents state that the wheat crol
has improved during the past thre'
weeks. The Peace River area i
the only section to indicate de
terioration; but there it has beer
slight and prospects are still de
scribed as good. The poorest out
look is in the inter-lake region o
Manitoba where prospects appea
to be roughly 25 per cent below las
