ston he has done much to estab-
lish art expression as an integral
part of the school curriculum. He
is very well fitted to describe the
nationally famed House of Wor-
ship of the Baha'is at Wilmette,
near Chicago, having watched its
development from the laying of
the corner stone many years ago.
Heralded as one of the most I'M
Usual and beautiful buildings of
modern times, as well as an arch
ftectural expression of the spirit
Of world unity, this striking struc-
ture on the shore Of Lake Michi-
gan has attracted attention all over
the world. It's significance, I as
well as the ideals Of the Baha'i
Faith, will be stressed in these
talks.
The continent-wide visit OF Abb
dull BAHIA, eldest son of Baha'u'-
llah, the founder of the Baha'i
Faith, is a vivid memory to Mr..
Scheffler, who was often in the
presence of this great spiritual
teacher and he will describe him
and his message particularly on
Saturday evening. In the field Of
Baha'i administration Mr.. Scheff-
Ter is also at home having served
as a member of the National Baha'i
Assembly for several years.
Thrilling indeed is it to those
working in this inclusive and far
reaching Movement to see the prin-
ciples for which the early follow
ers of Baha'u'lla and his predec-
essor gave their lives being dis
cussed by thousands in different
walks of life. The hope and aim
of those who follow this Teaching
is to help in the greatest spiritual
adventure of all time uniting III
peace and brotherhood all the var
ious races, classes and nations and
Solving permanently and equitably
the economic and national prob
lens which have heretofore baffled
the wisest of men. A very cord
ial invitation is extended to all to
attend these lectures.

United States Treasury Position
Priority Confusion Blamed
For LuII in Textiles

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20-Textile &C
tivity dwindled during the week,
with mills declining to take addi-
tional orders pending clarification
of Washington's program OH simpli-
flying operations and procedure for
taking up priority orders.
Mills took small fill-in lots of print
cloths, sheetings, Osnaburgs and
other items and continued to work
largely on Government orders. Or
ders placed included an Army award
for 5000, 900 yards Of 7-ounce un-
bleached Osnaburgs and 11,250, 900
yards Of olive drab 1.8-ounce mar
quisette mosquito netting.
There was strong replacement de-
mand for woolens and worsteds be-
cause of heavy retail buying in mems
and women's wear. but mills still
released goods sparingly. Some in
the trade looked for increased civil
ian wool quotas, while deliveries in
that category were running 80 to so
days behind schedule. Government
and lend-lease orders took up most
operating capacity.
Rayon goods continued tight and
confined mainly to Government or
ders. Bids on 100000 yards of
rayon twills were received Monday
while bids on 100. 900 yards of cargo
chute cloth for the Navy we're due
next Monday.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-The stock
market today finished spotty week
with brisk rally that carried lead
ing rails ard industrials up fractions
to around 3 points. manv to peaks
for the past year or longer.
The revival came in the final hour,
when short covering appeared along
with reinstatement of sold-out COM
mitments by those who felt that the
reaction OF the previous two sessions
had put the list in healthier tech
nical position after its long climb
from last April's lows. Notable was
the fact that todays upswing was
paced by prime issues instead of the
recently fast-sprinting penny"
stocks.
While many customers stood aside
because Ct the forthcoming two-day
holiday-major securities exchanges
will recess Monday-others turned
to the buying side with the thought
there might be a decided change for
the better in the African news be-
fore Tuesday.
Activity Picks Up Later.
There was considerable hesitancy
in the forepart of the brief proceed
ings, but activity quickened at the
last, and transfers of 1890 shares
were the second largest for Saturday
since December o. 194l. They COM
pared with 794 800 week ago, which
were the best since the December
date. The Associated Press average
of so stocks was up 04 of a point at
44.9, and on the week showed a net
gain of OIL.
Stocks In the new high" division
today included American Telephone,
up 3is; Union Pacific. Wabash pre-
ferred, Chesapeake & Ohio, North
ern Pacific, Pennsylvania, Postal
Telegraph preferred and United
States Rubber.
Strength of the carriers was en-
couraging to Wall Streeters. The
15-rail composite pushed through to
its best level since January 4, 1910.
Prominent gamers were United
States Steel, Bethlehem, Santa Fe,
Great Northern, General Motors,
Chrysler. Sears -Roebuck, Interna-
tional Harvester. Douglas Aircraft,
Atlantic Coast Line and American
Car & Foundry.

Prospects Favorable
For Another Bumper
Grain Harvest
Corei|I Reports Ample
Moisture for Start
Of Growing Season
BY WILLIAM FERRIS,
Associated Press Market Writer

CHICAGO. Feb. 20.-Another year
Of good crop yields-unless unfore-
seen calamity develops-was pre-
dicted today by a large grain ele-
vator concern. All reports received
by the grain trade here are in agree
ment with the prediction.
In review of the crop situation,
Cargill, Inc, said soil moisture con-
ditions are ample to give crops a
good start this spring, and with a
continuation of favorable conditions
yields OF most crops should be high
The survey said the winter wheat
crop. had developed remarkably
Most Of the producing area was pro-
tected with snow during the winter,
although some spots were bare when
the recent cold spell arrived. The
rye crop, on a reduced acreage, may
show good development when spring
opens up. .t
One less favorable factor in the
general crop picture, the report said,
was in the Southwest, where winter
oats and harley has suffered severely
from q cold winter, and much of
the acreage has been lost
Wheat Futures Firm.
Mill buying in the last half hour
took wheat contracts out of an early
lassitude today and prices frmed in
expanded trading. The May de-
livery moved to new seasonal high.
Strength in wheat carried over to
the rye pit, where advances of nearly
cent were recorded. Oats, how
ever, Jagged. All corn deliveries held
against their ceilings throughout
the session.
Wheat closed 1s-12 higher, May
$l.42b-4, July $1.42ss; corn was
unchanged, May $780, oats were
unchanged to 70 higher: rye ad-
vanced sa-h and all trading in
soybeans was halted.
Trading in soybeans has dwindled
to a very small total since last
summer, when the Commodity
Credit Corp. entered into contracts
with soybean crushers. The SELL
ing price Of the agency was vir-
tually ceiling on futures, while the
Government had previously set a
moor under prices. There was little
leeway between the floor and the
ceiling, grainmen said, and farmers
no longer found it necessary to
use futures as hedging medium.
Corn Loans Below 1912.
Corn loans through February 13
amounted to 46,176,893 bushels on
the 1912 crop against 39,12l.525
bushels in the previous week and
8l,7l6,755 bushels on the same date
last year.

Substitute Alloys Save
Vital Tin in BEARINGS

By tie Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio Feb. 20.--Ex-
periments show that thousands of
tons of war-scarce tin can be saved
annually through use of substitute
alloys in bearings. the Battelle Me-
mortal Institute reported today. The
private industrial research organiza-
tion in reporting its research assert
ed that "the possibility of conserving
several thousand tons of tin a year
by substitute bearing alloys is of
especial concern because of a recent
Government order further restrict
ing tin consumption for 1943 by
$4,000 tons"
Metallurgists estimated that tin
consumption by this Nations great
est user, the tin plate industry, ul-
timately would be cut from the
$4,000 long tons used from October,
1910, to September, 1941, to "less
than 10000 tons per year by substi-
tutes already developed"

Hog Supplies Expected
10 SET 1943 Record
Br the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Feb. 2O.-Supplies of
hogs for slaughter in 1943 we're ex-
pected to reach new record high
levels, the Department of Agricul-
ture reported today.
The 1912 pig crop of nearly 1o5-
100000 head was "a per cent larger
than the 1s4l crop, the department
said, and breeding intentions as re-
ported by farmers on December |
indicated an additional d per cent
increase in the 1943 spring crop.
This increase in farrowings will con-
tribute to larger marketings in the
last quarter of the year. Despite
the prospective boost in slaughter
supplies for l943, hog prices were ex-
pected to continue strong through
the year, the department said.
Some factors which may account
for the smaller than expected in
crease in marketings during recent
months included feeding of hogs TO
heavier weights, delayed marketings
and holding back of more sows for
breeding purposes this winter than
year ago, the department said.
Livestock producers thought diver
sion Of animals to black markets"
was an added factor.
