observers to attribute the cause to
ccnditoins within the market itself.

though some of the older trusts and
trading corporations were liquidat

points to a new low at 23 in reflec

over the California oil situation.

WHEAT MARKET
TAKES PLUNGE
I
-— ‘ *
Lowest Level in Last Two
Months Reached As Price
Drops 3c Per Bushel
CHICAGO. Sept. 21.—{A*)—A col
j lapse of almost three cents s bushel
j in wheat prices today plunged the
market below any level touched in
the last two months. Numerous
holders of wheat lost nerve in the
face of enlarged estimates of the
world's available supply and news
of further rains in Argentina ailay
! ing fears about additional crop cur
tailment there.
Despite week-end rallies, closing
quotations on wheat were nervous
at 5-8c to 1 1-4c under yesterday’s
finish. Com closed 7-8c to 1 3-4c
down and oats 1-8 and l-4c to 3-8c
off, with provisions varying from
25c decline to a rise of 2c.
From the outset, an outstanding
influence in the direction of lower
values came from figures which |
placed the world's available supply
of wheat at 436.790.000 bushels,
compared with 233,301.000 bushels a
year ago, an increase of 66,688,000
bushels in August as against 5,777,-;
000 bushels increase during the
month last year.
Com and oats went lower In
price largely in sympathy with
wheat weakness. Besides, season
abei weather for the corn crop was
widespread. Oats traders took no
tice of reports that Germany was
offering oats to Canada at a rela
tively cheap rate.
Provisions ruled easy, responsive
to downturns in the value of hogs. ,
LIVESTOCK
, KANSAS CITY. Sept. 21.—«V
Livestock trade around the 11 mar
ket circuit this week was marked
by a sharp break in beef steer
prices. Fed steers were in liberal
supply and with eastern dressed
i beef trade very sluggish packers
enforced declines of 50c to $1.50.
Webern grass steers closed mate
rially lower at most points. Fat
she stock worked lower at markets
where supplies had an appreciable
volume. Cutter grades of cows and I
bulls were in broad demand at
higher values. The Stocker and
feeder markets continued somewhat
erratic. No material pr e changes
were registered on replacement
stock. Aggregate receipts 261.000
as compared with 246.810 last week
and 362,369 a year ago.
Hogs staged a comeback and ,
closed 25^80c higher than a week
ago. Choice light butchers, on the '
close at St. Louis, scored $11.30. '
Total offerings 388.300. a decrease
of 21 000 fro mlast week but 16,
500 heavier than a year ago.
The sheep supply was 512.300
against 444.963 last week and 540,
020 a year ago. More liberal re
ceipts enabled packqers to obtain
moderate concessions on fat lambs
but values on aged stock were un
changed. Choice native lambs in
Chicago made 514 00 while hast ran
gers cashed at $13.50.

Trading Active in Short Ses
sion; Favorable Weather
Induces Sales

lated to speed up picking and gin
ning. The lows cf the session were
reached at the end and the market
closed at the lowest, 11 to 12 points
below the previous close on active

at 18.66 or 34 points below the:
previous close, trades down to 18.68
and closed at that figure, 12 points
net lower for the day. The general
market closed steady at net declines
of 8 to 12 points.
Liverpool came in 2 to 3 points
better than due. but the market ig
nored the English market, opening
3 points up on October and 2 to
4 points down on later positions.
Prices continued to ease off after
the start on hedge selling and ween 1
end liquidation. At the end of the
first hour October was at 18.32, De
cember at 18.63 and January 18.70. i

liquidation induced by the prospects
for good weather over the week
end. The lows of the day were

Prison Softens Natures
Of Two Thrill Slayers
Nathan Leopold (left) and Richard Loeb, as they appeared during
their trial in Chicago for the thrill slaying of Bobby Franks.
By WALTER T. BROWN
(AP Feature Service Writer)
JOLIET, 111., Sept. 21.—(A*)—The
old clock in the warden's office has
ticked away five years of the life- {
time that Nathan Leopold and
Richard Loeb must pay for the
“perfect crime" that was so imper
fect.
In May, 1924, the wealthy colle
giate youths, outstanding students
and scions of well established Chi
cago families, killed 14-year-old
Bobby Franks, also of a wealthy
family.
Thcv naively dismissed the trag
edy with the reason that they had
sought a thrill. On September 12
Leopold and Loeb were ““dressed in"
at state prison here.
Loeb. now 23, is a messenger—an
errand boy—in the yard of the old
prison. Leopold, 24. whets the su
perior intelligence that was his un
doing in the library of the new
prison. Occasional he checks the
records of the shoe factory’. The
two youths never see each other.
Prison routine ard monotony
^=—-—.----_
have blurred the alert, intelligent
mien of the thrill slayers, and dull
ed the Focialy rebellious attitude
that lured them to the “perfect
crime."
At first Leopold was sneeringly
skeptical of serving his sentence,
and Loeb, rebellious and violent.
Now they are reconciled; nameless
numbers.
Reatives see them on visitors
day, a heavy screen separating
them. Rumors of parole efforts
come up and taae. Clarence Dar
row. the attorney who pleaded so
brilliantly for their lives because of
their youth and “mental illness,"
says the families never will make
an effort to free them.
Loeb and Leopold still are avii
scholars and read widely and con
tinuously.
Two accidents marred the “per
fect crime” and revealed the amaz
ing slayers to a shocked city. A
pevlestrian found the body of Bobby
Franks in » culvert in the lonely
outskirts of Chicago. The slayer -
had failed to entirely conceal it.
Leopold's spectacles were dropped
at the culvert, and they were traced
to him.
GRADE SCHOOL
EXHIBITS ART
•mmmmmmmmmtmmmammmm
Display of 30 Posters Illus
trates Fire Danger and
Prevention
Art as a means of linking school
subjects with every day life is vivid
ly illustrated by the collection of
fire prevention posters now on dis
play in the auditorium at the gram
mar school.
The posters were made by chil
dren in the grammar grades last
ypar under the direction of Miss
Mary McCollum, head of the art
department, and entered in the
county fair at Harlingen the latter
part of the year, where they at
tracted much favorable notice. The
group includes about 30 postei e.
illustrating fire dangers and me
thods of prevention, which were
made during fire prevention week.
In most eases the designs are cut
from colored construction paper
and mounted upon the foundation
sheet.
Designs are usually original with
the children, or copied or assembled
from pictures of their selection.
Miss McCollum explained that
there is little actual abstract
drawing work in her classes, mout
of the projects being correlated
with health. English or geography
work, or with some of the many
different “weeks” which hold at
tention throughout the year. Holi
days such as Armistice Day, Wash
ington's Birthday, and other time
honored occasions also come in for
their share of attention.
