Sept. 24—Hardware Age, in its weekly market summary, says; '‘Although there has been a marked improvement in the volume of business transacted, in practically ail of the wholesale hardware markets throughout the country, it can not be said accurately that current demands for hardware are large. In the opinion of many jobbers September sales will approximate last September’s t total, although in many cases it is considered doubtful that the month’s average will be as large as tiie tir3t two weeks indicated. "Current demands for Hardware are divided, although on the i whole staple articles are slightly more active than seasonal goods. Retailers, with few exceptions, are not anticipating their future require- j ments to the extent that is custom- j this time of year.

GRAINS SHARPLY LOWER AT CLOSE Corn Leads Downturn on Improved Crop. CHICAGO. Sept. 24. — Grain futures broke to a sharply lower finish in the Board of Trade Wednesday. Wheat was choppy and without any definite undertone. The nervous undertone that prevailed made the market susceptible to th< numerous dips and rallies which featured the session. Locals operated oil a scalping basis. Corn sunk to new lows and led other grains in the downturn. Liberal country offerings and better crop and weather news caused infiuentlals to sell. Oats eased off with corn. There was a good cash demand on the dip at lower prices. Provisions finished higher with some foreign buying. Chicago Grain Table —Sept. 24 WHEAT— Prev. Open. Hish. Low.

THIS PRINCE JOB HAS ■ ITS MANY DRAWBACKS - Wales Thinks as Much of Americans as Americans Think of Themselves,
B” iVF.t Service NEW YORK, Sept. 24.—Had . the Prince of Wales lived in the year 1620 lie probably would have bought a one-way passage on one of the Mayflower IJne vessels plying between Plymouth and Southampton. He thinks as much of America as Americans think of themselves, and that's a pretty high compliment for us. These, and other facts, are gleaned from a highly confidential but reliable source. 'The Prince won’t talk for publication on what he thinks of Americans, but to intimate friends he unburdens himself freely. Why, if he had his choice, according to our informant, he’d (ICtt u2es yamkft (,£ 2 —^ rather live over here than over there. Americans have more zip and pep than Brltains, he thinks. He calls it “Yankee hustle.’’ He feels more at home with some Americans he is meeting for the first time than he does with many Britons he has known for years. That shows an American viewpoint. “What I like most about Americans,’’ he once said, “is their naturalness, their directness and their utter freedom from fear of convention.” He lias quite a bit to say about the American girl. So gather ’round, girls, and get an earful! The American girl is a more interesting talker than the British girl, he is quoted as having said. She doesn't limit her talk to dress and parlor small talk. She doesn't talk
about how much she weTffbs, at least the girls on Bong Island don't. She can discuss politics, art and literature. She is familiar with the classics of the stage and she even knows that “Abie's Irish Rose" isn't a flower, but a gold mine. On only one occasion, to our informant's knowledge, lias the prince expressed himself on dress. He shocked his British listeners by saying he thought the American girl dressed more neatly and effectively than the British girl. The best danegin partner he ever had was an American girl, he Is quoted as saying. Even the air suits him Eietter. In

GORILLAS DOCILE
UNLESS CORNERED Author Says They Shun Men and Fights, A good many familiar stories about birds and beasts are being denied-. The ostrich, we have recently learned, does not bury ita head in the sand when trying to escape hunters. And now we are assured that the gorilla, far from being the ferocious ape of legend, is in reality not nearly so quarrelsome as the chimpanzee or the baboons. It does not raid native villages to carry off the women nor is its favorite amusement . bending rifle barrels, which is pictured as doing in all the old books. The gorilla is enormously strong, but the huge ape does not use its strength in fights, unless cornered. The gorilla is vegetarian in diet, preferring bamboo shoots to anything else. T. Alexander Barns, author of "Across the Great Craterland to the Congo,” says that he shot several gorillas and that only one had marks of a wound from fighting. They shufi men and other animals and are so averse to coming to close quaiters that hunting them is tame sport as compared with trailing a rhinoceros. WROTEOVERTON OF MANUSCRIPT Englishman Gathered Quaint Information, The tremendous amount of work that can be accomplished in a long lifetime is illustrated by the discovery that, an elderly Englishman who died recently left more than a ton of manuscript- Many years ago Richard Blakeborough began to go through the countryside in the north of England collecting old songs, queer stories, folk-tales and odd customs of the people. He wrote down each night what he had heard during the clay and his son has found no’ebooks weighing more than a ton, filled with all sorts of quaint information about the days that have gone. A first volume of selections has just been published and. if the book sells, there is material enough for an annual publication for many years to come. CONFUSION IS CITED A. F. Bentley, Indiana chairman, T,a Follette Progressive party, today said confusion has resulted from indorsement by the Indiana Progressive Political Action League of nominees for Congress. Bentley said he desired it to ba understood that while the political action league is supporting La Follette and the support is valued, the La Follette Progressive party is in no way to he connected with the indorsement of Congressional nominees. —— rr— BLiiding Permits RBine Prater, srarape. 540 N.

Won’t Join Colonels Without giving a specific reason for his action First Baseman Nelson (Chicken) Hawkes, recently sold by Nashville to Louisville of the American Association, has refused to join the latter club. Hawkes has intimated that he might retire from baseball and devote his time to the trucking business which he owns in San Francisco. England he is subjected to days of mental depression, caused by clouded skies and mists and fogs. The prince has a great dream which the present generation might live to see fulfilled. That is a genuine, close feeling between the British people and the American people, so that his fraternizing over here assumed a deeper significance than just a pleasure jaunt for the rojal heir.
