—June 14—
Following the rather impressive recov
ery In the stock market yesterday after
noon opinions this morning locally were
divided and the professional element lost
no time in seiling stocks this morning,
which was In harmony with their theory
that the turn was but a temporary
movement.
The recessions that followed apparent
ly was just what commission house
clients were waiting for, and an Increas
ing volume of buying orders quickly ab- ,
sorbed the offerings and again the pro
fessional element were on the defensive
competing with commission houses for
stocks that were becoming scarce.
There were a few notable exceptions,
among them Pullman and American
Sugar, these stocks continuing under
pressure both from professional sellers
as well as liquidation. Studebaker was
a distinct feature in the markets recov
ery. not so much because of the extent
of" the recovery, but because of the con
stant demand for the stock on every lit
tle recession.
In the rails there was some further
liquidation in Northern Pacific and
Great Northern, but the selling was ab
sorbed more readily and the entire list
displayed great stability.
While we can see no fundamental
change at this time, we can see a distinct
Improvement in sentiment and a greater
willingness on the part of the public to
acquire securities at prevailing prices,
and as heavy liquidation has undoubt
edlv been completed there is every rea
son to look for betterment from now on
and on the reactions as they occur, we
anticipate a continued public demand.

Say Crop Reports Misleading

CHICAGO, June 14—Wheat prices took

(By Thomson A McKinnon)
June 14.
Wheat—Further setbacks in wheat,
which was due, occurred early but mar
ket met good support from previous sel
lers and the exchanging of cash wheat
for July was reflected In the marke*
Black rust reports from new and .impor
tant spring wheat territory came to hand
today, the start of which means ap
prehension for several weeks to come.
You can hardly expect wheat to break
badly with mutterings of black rust
commencing to come from spring wheat
country. This injects anew condition
into the situation and 'unexpected!?
early. Its all right for Nebraska and
lowa to talk about rust in spring wheat.
Their acreage is small, but to have the
Dakotas commence, is important and we
can now expect it to become a feature
and one that will lessen the bearishness
of the new winter wheat movement and
in fact might stimulate further export
and milling demand for the new winter
wheat. Cash wheat nremiums were 3 to
4 cents lower than yesterday and there
was selling of July presumably In the
way of hedges and quite a little chang
ing, selling July and buying Sept, today
Kansas City cash 4 to 13c lower. Ex
pect quite an unsettled market with wide
ly divergent news and prices and while
there Is any chance so rblack rust dam
age, It will be safer, we think, to work
on the side of better values even in face
of the expected run of winter wheat. Ex
changes of cash wheat to exporters today
reported 1,500,000 bushels.
Corn and Oats—Very favorable crop
and lower wheat values eased that mar
ket. but weakness was not so good.
; Crop is spotted and the oat price is sti',l
cheap. Any particular change in corn
and oat values can hardly he for the
worse.
Provisions—Hogs prices were some
lower and this with easy grain markets
made the tone. Feel rather friendly to
product Just now.

PLAN DRIVE FOR
MEMORIAL PLAZA
■
Supporters to Argue With
Opposition.
Opposition which has developed against
the city and county participating in the
State war memorial plaza project was
discussed by the citizens’ war memorial
committee at a meeting at the Chamber
of Commerce at noon today.
The dozen member./ who were present
decided to bring all the pressure they
can exert to bear upon persons whom
they believe to be responsible for the
circulation of petitions asking that a
special election be held to give the pub
lic an opportunity to express itself in
favor or against the plan to get the cir
culators to abandon their‘efforts.
It was said by a member of the com
mittee after the meeting, which was pri
vate, that the "'ommittee does not be
lieve the opposition will continue Its
activities when it discovers how small
the annual cost of the purchase of land
by the city and county for gift to the
State as part of the plaza will be and
how the public will regard such an atti
tude.

Roach Races Give
Some Real Thrills
CONSTANTINOPLE. June 14.—Betting
on cockroach races Is one of the newest
sports here. It was introduced by a Rus
sian woh has Just opened a hall where
a man who wants some real excitement
for his money can get results. The hall
Is darkened at the moment the race be
gins. Then a single electric light at the
end of a runway Is turned on. and the
cockroaches, each in a separate track, are
let loose form their 'ages to race for the
light. More real, old fashioned, nonpro
fessional sport may be had here than in
other city in Europe. This is due in
part to the allied troops of occupation, to
the American officers and sailors on sta
tion here, snd the large number of Amer
ican and British civilians who have come
out for business since the armistice.
U. S. Banks Stay in
Cuba to Save Isle
NEW YORK, June 14.—Banks here,
doing business in Cuba declare they
can not “pull out” of the island, no
matter what happens there, because it
would probably mean the complete
financial breakdown of the Island and
probably would precipitate a condition
of chaos from which Cuba would not
recover for years.
An executive of one of the banks
which has a number of branches in Cuba
declared that practically every bit ot
credit was solidly frozen there in un
liquidated sugar and that business was
stagnant. He made it plain, however,
that it was the Intention of the Ameri
ca/. bankers to carry their usual cus
tomers along until the sugar situation
Improved and the frozen credits com
mence to thaw out.
The banks of New Y’ork have approx
imately $40,000,000 tied up In Cuba su
gars.
Court Reporters’
P a y Hike Approved
The county commissioners bare agreed
with the judges of the Marion County
courts that the official court reporters
under the new law shall receive $2,400
a year Instead of the present salary of

Tho judges claim they now have power
to enter court orders increasing the sal
ary of the official court reporters.
The bailiffs are after an increase which
will boost them from $1,200 a year to
about $2,000. The commissioners have
not agreed to this. Some of the judges
feel that the bailiffs are entitled to $7
per diem or $1,750 a year.

And a Right Merry
Time Was Had by All
CHICAGO. June 14.—They advertised
here for a house detective—and they had
to call out the police.
The “Loop” Hotel which sought a light
footed guardian of the slumbering peace
will never seek again—by advertising.
The “ad" brought the strangest con
gress of amateur sleuths, correspondence
school Sherlocks. ambitious “fiat foots"
and private “dicks" ever assembled out
side the “movies." There were 200 of
them.
They ‘'detected” the guests, visitors and
finally each other. It all ended when
some of the “wise lads from around the
corner.” who were out doing this and
that, broke into the congress. One of
the “smart lad9’’ quietly “lifted" the
shield, "billy” and wallet from one
sleuth.
The uproar that followed when the
’’Sherlock” found himself "frisked'’ was
enough to cause the management to send
in a call for “regular” police. That end
ed that.

CHILDREN EAT
ACCORDING TO
CHART GUIDES
•
Proof That Anaemic Children
Fed Well-Balanced Meals
Grow Rapidly.
CAUSES OF ILL HEALTH
NEYV YORK CITY The amazing
speed with which frail or anemic
youngsters may be brought up to nor
mal health through nothing more dras
tic than three well-balanced meals a
day, is being demonstrated in a novel
way in Brooklyn, where a so-called
“School of Eating” has been established.
Here twenty-five little folks are prop
erly fed every day, and the results of
this feeding—ln weight und vitality—are
recorded, at regular intervals, upon a
chart. So far, they have shown conclu
sively that 111 health, In early life at
least. Is largely a matter of Improper
or Insufficient diet.
This school, which Is known as the
“Children’s Restaurant,” Is one of the
many laudable activities of the National
League for Women's Service, a war or
ganization, which still finds plenty of
opportunities for service In peace time.
One of the most pressing of these, It
believes, is the prevention of malnutri
tion among growing Americans.
This nation is contributing generously
to the upkeep of Innumerable diet
kitchens in all of the stricken European
countries having congenial governments,
so that the rising generations over there
may not be hopelessly weakened and un
fit. This is very gallant and admirable,
but what of our own rising generation*
The National League for Women’s
Service would have us remember the
shocking disclosures of existing ill health
in this country revealed by the late
draft. It would have us bear In mind
our large infant mortality rate, and con
sider the many thousands of under
nourished children brought to light in
our children's clinics. Large numbers of
the last, weakened and diseased by lack
of proper food, will be dependent upon
charity by the time they are grown,
whereas they might be made strong, self
supporting citizens for life if properly
fed.
In order to prove this assertion, th*
league, under the direction of Dr. Carl
11. Lav, opened its school of eating last
February a year ago, with twenty-five
registered anemic pupils, selected from
five different public schools. Visiting
nurses in the schools did the choosing,
sending only children who were under
nourished but who were not diseased.
This first experiment lasted until Sept. 1,
of last year, when all of the pupils had
achieved a normal degree of health.
The second experiment, now under way,
is proving equally successful. Most of
the charts are again showing a decided
curve toward the red line that indicates
normal health. Occasionally a chart ex
hibits a line suddenly curving down, but
this is always accompanied by some
penciled explanation such as "Had tonsil!
out.”
The depressing odor of charity has been
avoided In this enterprise by charging
*.;e cents per meal, which does not begin
to pay for the cost of the food and serv
ice, of course, but which serves to en
hance the importance of the diet in toe
eyes of the children's parents . The con
ditions of membership are simple, but ex
tremely strict. Each child must make a
solemn pledge not to drink tea or coffee
at home, not to eat between meals, to
wash before eating and to brush his or
her teeth after each meal. A weekly bath
is also required, from which there is no
escape. If there are no adequate bathing
facilities at home, a tub on the school
premises must be used.
The restaurant itself is a large, light,
airy room, with big. Immaculate windows,
and a shining blue and white linoleum
floor. The delicious appetizing odor which
permeates the atmosphere must be ex
tremely stimulating to starved appetites.
In the rear of the restaurant Is the
somewhat unpopular home of the school
bathtub, to which several children watt
their reluctant turns of admission every
afternoon. A washstand also occupies an
honored and conspicuous position in the
school office beneath a row of dangling
tooth brushes, each bearing the printed
name of its owner—“ Marie,” “Fletro,”
’’Joan.” “Angelo," and 21 others. On i*/e
wall near the washstand, also, are the
rows of charts with their sanguine rec
ords.
in this same office, too, the mothers of
the neighborhood are frequently as
sembled to listen to words of wisdom
upon the proper upbringing of the child.
The value of everything that is done for
the school's pupils is explained; the im
portance of clean bodies and well-care®
for teeth is emphasized, and the visitor*
are shown how to extract the utmost
nourishment from a soup bone or a piece
of cheese. They, themselves, are urged
to bring their children to the school tot
weighing and measuring, and are direct
ed to clinics if need of medical treatment
In short, this Brooklyn school of eat
ing does, on a small scale, what child
welfare authorities declare, the Ideal pub
lic school of the future must do for the
community. For the tendency of society
to make the public school responsible for
the health of children as well as for their
education. Is growing more and more
marked every year. Long ago. the State,
realizing the general incompetence' of
parents, claimed the mental training of
the child from the ages of 6 to 14 years.
Now it is also beginning to claim the
right to supervise the child’s health.
Already medical inspection has been
Introduced into a large number of
schools, and has resulted In a number
of much-needed reforms. Tubercular
children have been segregated and placed
In special fresh air classes, while chil
dren discovered to have weak hearts are
also receiving special treatment in many
cases. This same medical inspection,
moreover, has revealed the appalling
amount of malnutrition which exists
among young children, and the wide
spread establishment of school lunches
has been the result.
Europe was the first to realize that
the provision of a hot, nutritious lunch
to school children was as great a need
as the provisions of textbooks, and school
lunches were Introduced over there as far
hack as thirty years ago. In IS9B, the
first school lunches were started in this
country. In Philadelphia, provoking wide
spread Interest and discussion. It was
not until 1908 that New York opened
lunch counters in two public schools, and
then not on its own initiative, but
through the efforts of a private organiza
tion. These immediately proved so suc
cessful that since then a fund of $50,000
has been appropriated to start a (far
reaching school lunch system, by which
good food well selected and scientifically
prepared, will be served at cost.
Other cities have been equally progres
sive in the matter of school lunches. Os
eighty-six cities of 50,000 or more popu
lation. seventy-two are now offering
lunches in their schools.
All idea of the importance of this pro
vision may be gathered from the records
of visiting nurses working in the tene
ment neighborhoods of New York, who
find that 6 Oper cent of the children In
these districts drink tea and coffee in
place of milk, and that a very large num
ber, in the absence of a wage-earning
mother, prepare their own scanty meals.
I’hese are the children whose undernour
ished brains and bodies provide the ever
increasing materials for our prisons, hos
pitals. and various asylums.
