There wa6 a considtrable amount of business yesterday in Cuba* at the 2% level. It appears that producing interests are not being influenced to any appreciable extent by the unsettlement in the refined market. The last day or so there has been some selling in futures from Cuban sources but this has been more than offset by purchases for investment account and snort covering from abroad. The steady tone of distant months has strengthened the view that prices have fallen to a level low enough to be attractive to those who are Interested in buying for the pull and who are not so much concerned with the current fluctuations and the limited demand in |refined.

GRAIN MARKET IS IRREGULAR Traders Feel Price Advance Unwarranted Now. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 28 —Grain prices were irregular at the opening of the Chicago Board of Trade today. The wheat market had a strong undertone except in the September delivery which started % cent lower.

Receipts today were somewhat heavier than anticipated and provided the chief bearish influence. The oat trade was extremely dull, with prices unchanged, except In the May delivery, where a Vfe-cent gain was scored. Provisions opened lower. Chicago Grain Table —Feb. 20— __ WHEAT— Prev. Hitrh.

Times Washin'iton Bureau. tS22 Xew For* Avenue. WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—Government operatirfn of Muscle Shoals under the Federal Power Commission is the latest proposal made to Congress. Senator Ransdell of Louisiana is author of the new bill. Three southern Senators now have Government operation bills pending before the Senate Agriculture Com mittee. Senator Smith of South Carolina proposes operation under a commission composed of the Secretaries of war and Agriculture. Senator McKellar of Tennessee proposes operation under a three-man commission, one member to be the Department of Agriculture's fixed nitrogen expert and the other two to be appointees of the Presiden^. A fourth Government operation bill is that of Senator Norris of Nebraska. the same bill he has kept before Congress throughout the Muscle Shaols controversy. Hearing on all four bills will begin before the Senate Agriculture Committee, of which Norris is chair man, .during the next week. The bills of Senators Ransdell and McKellar both provide that States and municipalities shall have preferential right to electricity and power produced by the Federal Government at Muscle Shoals. Senator Norris’ bill puts the Government even more firmly In the power field. Senator Smith’s bill declares that manufacture of nitrates Is the principal function of Muscle Shoals, but Smith Is determined to prevent Muscle Shoals being grabbed by private interests. That three southern men now have Government operation bills pending indicates that sentiment on Government operation is changing In the South. A year ago Senator Norris was fighting practically alone against private exploitation.

SHIFT IN WIND AT WASHINGTON OVER COMBINES / _____ Business Hereafter to Come Under More Careful Scrutiny. WASHfNGTON, Feb. 26.—EviJence points more strongly every lay to anew momentous political question involving big business. The most significant fact is that President Coolidge is quietly preparing himself against any attack in chat quarter. Several days ago it was stated that there has been a shift in the wind at Washington and that business would hereafter come under more critical eyes. One of the first indications of this was the unusual action of the department of justice in moving to prevent formation of the Ward Food Products Corporation instead of waiting until the merger was consummated and then filing suit in the ordinary way. The aluminum casfc also is directing attention to the general situation. Resolutions called - for investigations of this and the baking mergers are pending in the Senate. Coolidge Concerned Now it has become known that President Coolidge is concerned over the tendecy of large corporations to squeeze the investing stockholder out from any control in the management by depriving the shares issue to the public of all voting rights. This movement already has caused some concern in the New York Stock Exchange which recently announced that all Issues of nonvoting stock would be scrutinized before being approved. Realizing the grave possibilities that might arlso from abuse of this device of nonvoting stock, President Coolidge called W. Z. Ripley, professor of economics at Harvard and one of the leading students of this phase of corporation organization, to the White House to advise on possible Federal action. At the moment. President Coolidge does not see that the Federal government can do anything. Investigation by the investor is regarded as the best protection now. But it is possible that the situation, unless corrected voluntarily by current publicity and criticism, will call for some action at Washington. Taft’s Plan If any recomendatlon Is made, It probably will be similar to that advocated by President Taft In his last message to Congress. He urged Fed eral incorporation and a government corporation bureau which would supervise issue of securities and regulate publicity of accounts much ns Jhe Interstate Commerce Commission does for railroads, telegraphs, telephones and other common carriers—but with far less detailed regulation. Possibly some license system would be coupled with the plan. Taft advised that at the begining Federal Incorporation of concerns doing interstate business be made voluntary. Inducements would be offered by a more clear-cut definition of the anti-trust laws so that large business would know exactly how far they could go Instead of having to try out each case in the courts.

‘EMBEZZLER’ GIVEN TERM Boy, 15, Magazine Salesman, Found Guilty. A 15-year-old boy, the master-mind in a group composed of two other boys and a 14-year-old girl was found guilty of "embezzlement” of $l2O today by Judge Frank J.

Juvenile court attaches said the boy tried to sell Governor Jackson a subscription. The Juvenile “embezzler” admitted he lavished some of the money on the girl. Judge Lahr criticised the' parents of the girl for permitting her to attire hersslf In boy’s clothing.

SCHOOL CAMEL The Queer HELPS “Ship of the Desert.” Coo.vricht. Corantoh’s Pictured Encyelonedl* Feature S*r*lr.

( VERYTIIINQ about a camel Ip I is as queer as if you had 1 I dreamed him in a nightmare. His peck and legs look too long and sprawly for his body. His feet are each split into two hoofed toes almost up to the ankle. His head is small and ugly. brown eyes fairly pop out of his head. His nostrils are bias splits. He can open them wide or close them almost shut during the terrible sand storms of his native deserts. His rough hair looks as If it had never been combed. On his knobby knees and arched breast-bone he wears tough leathery pads like a football player. Finally, his hump makes him look as if he “had his back up” against an unfriendly world. For many years the camel has been one of the most useful animals to men, because of his great strength and his ability to endure heat, thirst and hunger. But he is a very stupid beast and has never learned to do more than a few simple things. He never seems to know or care for his driver, who may have brought him up from a baby. He has as little sense as a sheep, is as ill-tem-pered as an angry bull, and as stubborn as a mule. He- works, but not willingly, as a horse does. Camel Can Kneel Ope of the few things a camel has learned to do is to kneel when he is ordered to do so. His kneepads protect hts joints from the hard ground, but he maons and groans as If in terrible pain. He knows some kind 01“ a load is to be put on. and com plains alcud. He carries with ease a quarter of a ton of goods for hundreds of miles across wide deserts. FIRED MEN ASIT FOR EXTRA PAY Building Department Inspectors Cause Trouble. Building department inspectors, ousted by the bo.tvd of safety Tuesday, today added to complications of the board political manipulations by refusing to resign to make way for new men until alleged arrears In salary have been paid. The 1926 budget gave them $2,000 a year, but the building code, a city ordinance, authorizes $2,400. The in. specters have been paid during the two months of this year on the $2,000 basis. 'The Shank employes, discharged by the board, will remain until March 16. PHONE RATES BOOSTED Order for Klrksville Passed By Service Commission. Tn an order passed today by the public service commission the Central Indiana Telephone Company was authorized to increase its rates at Kirksville, Monroe County, from 75 cents a month to $1.25.

U. S. Prohibition Ruined Him Bu Times Special ACCRINGTON, England, Feb. 26.—/Mrs. Elizabeth Mullin of Clayton-le-Moorn is back from the United States with her husband after having taken him to prohibition America to cure him of the drink habit. His fondness for liquor made her life unbearable, she said. So she persuaded him to take her to a "dry” land. "It was worse than ever over there,” she told the Judge in asking for separation. "He built a complete brewing plant and drank an average of thirty-five half-pints daily. He got fired for taking beer to work with him. So I brought him home again, but be couldn’t quit. Prohibition had finished his ruin." Her sujt for separation was granted.

but he moans and groans as if In he is asked to. carry two little children about the zoo. If you get seasick you had better not try to ride a camel. He lifts both feet on one side at the same time, tilting his body sideways. Then he lifts the two feet on the other side. So you must roll over and back. Tossing and pitching, heaving and rolling, you feel as though you were in a sailboat on rough water. For food, after a day’s travel, a camel 1.3 given a small measure of hard dates or dry beans. Besides, he crops the twigs, thistles and thorny shrubs that grow here and there In the desert. Camels will eat anything. They will chew their own leather bridles or tent cloth, and they consider an old mat or basket a great delicacy. Their digestion Is so good that even poison affects them very little. Moreover, the camel’s big, solid hump Is his pantry shelf full of fat, to be drawn upon when food is scarce, and his stomach Is a honey-comb of little cells for storing water, so that he can go a week between drinks in case of need. Furnishes Necessities In the hot desert regions the camel is the horse, the cow and the sheep of the herders and traders. He carries all the burdens, he furnishes flesh and milk for food, and his hair or wool furnishes material for weaving cloth. At night In camp the little children of the chief drink cups of the camel’s thick cheesy milk, mixed with water. On the chief’s table Is Cooked camel’s flesh. The herders wear robes and turbans of brown camel’s-hair cloth. The master sleeps under a cambel’s-halr tent. Without this ugly stupid, useful beast, thn hot deserts of the Old World would lie unpeopled and unknown, but the camel knows nothing of his value and cares less. There is just one thing for which the camel has a soft feeling. The mother camel shows affection for her beby. Although the camel Is three feet high and heavier than a calf when born, he Is so weak and wobbly on his legs that he can scarcely walk. Without his mother’s milk he would 'die. The mother perhaps has to go with the caravan of hundreds of other camels, traveling twenty-five or more miles a day. The helpless baby is put Into a hammock, and swung from one side of the big freight camel. There is a curious reason why the baby is not put on his mother’s back. If the mother could not see her baby, even if it were on her own back, she would be apt to think It has been left behind. Then she might turn and bolt for the last camping place. After the day’s march she has him all to herself. She can feast her eyes on her baby, for the dark blue velvet dome of the sky is hung all over with little golden lambs of stars.
