PROFITS

But Retreat Into Losses AT
Board OF
Trade

CHICAGO, Aug. 10 (P An
early upturn in corn ran into in
creased pr~ofit-taking on the Board
Of Trade today and prices retreat
ed to close the day with losses.
Corn set the pace for the rest
of the market, as it has in all
sessions for recent weeks, al
though wheat showed resistance
to the late selling and finished
with prices practically unchanged.
At one time July wheat and De-
cember oats reached new season
al high.
Wheat closed unchanged to IA
lower, September $2.38 IL, corn
was 2 ga to 4 cents lower, Sep
TEMPER $3.50 1-4-2.33, and oats
were l to l 3-3 lower, September
$1.04 1924.
The early advance in corn,
which carried prices close to rec
ord peaks, was based upon a
weather bureau forecast OF clear
skies in Iowa. However, alate
forecast predicted scattered show
ers and private reports said light
moisture was received today.
Offerings of corn by the coun-
try were fairly liberal for a Sat-
urday, purchaes on a to-arrive
basis totaling 100, 900 bushels. In
the spot market prices were
steady to 3 cents lower.
Wheat was aided by a some
what more aggressive Commodity
Credit corporation buying policy
and Washington reports that ex-
ports will be heavy this autumn,
possibly exceeding ALLEGATIONS, as
the shipping situation has improv-
ed and small stockpiles of grain
may be built up in foreign .coun-
tries.
The CCC raised its wheat buy
ing price 8 cents after the close
yesterday, offering $2.29 at Kan
sas city and $2.40 IA a bushel at
Chicago.
Oats move up Or down in SYM
pathy with corn, following the vel
low cereal closely. Many traders
feel that higher prices for corn
will increase the use of cats al a
feed. The lard market was ex-
tremely dull with active deliveries
closing 2 cents lower to 8 cents
a hundred pounds higher.

Cub Planes Start Flight Around The World

TETERBORO, N. J. lP)-A pair of tiny, single-engined planes pi- loted by former army fliers took off Saturday on 2l ,350-mile flight around the world-the first at tempt of planes of less than 575 horsepower to make the circuit.
 The lOO-horsepower cub planes followed one another down the Teterboro airport runway, the first becoming airborne at l0:10 am. (EST), and the second two minutes later.
 The pilots-George Truman. 39, of Los Angeles, former army flight instructor, and Clifford v. Evans, 26, of Washington, D. C., who flew in the -Burma-In- dia theater during the war-said Friday they expected the trip to take 200 to 220 flying hours and from 30 to 45 days.
 The planes, which have a cruis- ing speed of 100 miles per hour, are equipped to carry 138 gallons of gasoline, 100 more than the cubs normal load.

GROUND" FOR DIVORCE

PALESTINE - The Arab Wo- men of Palestine have found a new weapon in their fight against the Jews. Mrs. Map Amin el Husseini, wife of the grand multi and chair man of the Arab Higher Commit 'tee, has advised Palestinian wo- men to divorce their husbands if they even show any inclination to sell their land to Jews.
 This may turn out to be an eff fective bar to land sales. Very few men, Arabs or otherwise, are in clined to do much talking or sell ing in the face of an irate spouse. But on the other hand, it offers a golden opportunity for men who want to get rid of their wives.
 If Mrs. Husseini's advice is taken, readers might be able to watch the box scores in the Arab Jewish struggle by just reading the lists of divorce applications.

Plan To Make Port ChilkOOt Alaska's Greatest City
By William E. Lowell)

'NfD opeCldl w dSnlHSIOn oeIVlee'
 WASHINGTON, (P)-The head of veterans group engaged in de- veloping colony at Port Chilkoot in Alaska Saturday commended Rep. Crawford (R.-MichD for a statement encouraging settlement of the Territory.
 Crawford, chairman of a public lands subcommittee considering Statehood for Alaska, recently said Alaska should be homesteaded, colonized and settled as quickly as possible"
 Burke Edwards, former air force major and president of the Port Chilkoot Co.,, which bought Chilkoot barracks at a surplus sale, said in a statement:
 "We need people who think as Mr. Crawford does and we are getting them"
 He said Some of the advance party" already have arrived at Port Chilkoot, which is 75 miles north of Juneau, the Territorial capital. He said he communicates nightly via amateur radio with Martin A. Cordes, resident mana ger at Port Chilkoot. "Only Wednesday night" he said, "Cordes reported a new party had arrived with a four-year-old daughter and dog, via the Alaska Highway The newest arrivals were not identified.
 Harry B. Gauss, of the Inter:- or Departments bureau of Ian ] management, said the department is encouraging settlement of the Territory and is drawing attention to possibilities for development through use of areas along the highway, recently released to pub lie use.
 We are pointing out the possi- bilities of settlement but not neceS- sarily homesteading," Gauss told a reporter "Homesteading re- quires some farming and the farm ing opportunities are limited. Along the highway, though, there were opportunities for service stations and other activities"
 Edwards, too, noted these possi- bilities. The property taken over by his company includes 400 acres and 86 buildings.
 'We have the makings of Alas ka'S greatest city" he said. "We have the essentials of a complete town situated on a peninsula with 100-foot deep fiords on either side, from which 4,0OO and 4,500-foot peaks rise straight up. This natu- ral setting, plus the already in stalled necessities for modern liv- ing, will make Port Chilkoot the economic and vacation center of America"
 He said inquiries had been re- ceived 'from all over the country from doctors, nurses, school teach CTS, dairymen, laborers, farmers, and ministers.
