Bu United Press NEW YORK, March 18.—Speculative attention in early dealings was centered on Chesepeake & Ohio, due to the action of its directors at a meeting in Cleveland late Thursday in authorizing an extra dividend of 84 a share and a payment of $2 for the first quarter of 1926, compared with the previous annual late of $4. The shorts in Chesepeake & Ohio were caught napping and the stock jumped 414 to 5 points, sales totaling 10.000 shares, the stock having a split opening from 133 to 133%. This remarkable gain stimulated the whole market and price changes in active stocks were almost uniformly on the upside.

This attack came along according to schedule, forcing substantial recessions in automobile issues, particularly in those in which group operation recently had been conducted. Chrysler broke 4 points to 3G. Dodge 1% to 3414, Jordan 2 to 4914 and Hudson 214 to 107%. General Motors held better than other active issues of its class.

SCHOOL GRASSES —The most O important vegetable HELPS ■ Coot right. Canutes’* Tietored Enryelonedls Featars Servlr# '

There is a fable of a magic carpet that carries one to wealth and the world’s wonders. Grasses —the most important and useful family of the whole vegetable kingdom—are such a magic carpet for earth’s surface. Wild and cultivated they are the greatest contributors to the needs of human and animal life. A large portion of our food is provided by cultivated “grasses”—wheat, oats, rye, barley, rice, corn, sorghums and sugar cane; and from grasslands in the ordinary sense come our beef and mutton, hides and wool. Grasses are the most widely distributed of all the plant families. Pigmy grasses, moss-like grasses not over two inches high, cling close to the cold ground right up to the borders of the field of ice and snow. The ,giants of the family are the bamboos growing 100 feet tall in the burning heat of the tropics, and other tall species form the impenetrable “cane-breakers’’ of the South, where many fishpoles grow. Such “reeds” as they are often called, are used in furniture making, especially in cane-seated chairs. Small and middle-sized grasses, growing in the greatest luxuriance in the north temperate zone, increase the total of the family to over 4,000 species. In the United States alone there are over 1,000 species, and there may be as many as a dozen in one dooryard. Grasses grow, or can bo made to grow, on all kinds of soil and in

SKELETON CASE THEORIES VARY (t'ontinued From Page One) hole in the boards above the hole in which the body was found, but detectives stated that other workmen said the floor hole was several feet away. Philip Chasman, Beech Grove, who occupied the building from 1923 to 192* said he noticed that the floor had been disturbed. “I moved into the building some time in September, 1923,” Chasman said. “I had bought the stock of Harry Silver, my cousin. He never mentioned any peculiarity of the flooring. “One day when I was cleaning the floor I happened to notice that there were line© which indicated that boards had been cut across and replaced. “I presumed It was a trap door, but It seemed solidly in place and I did not try to open It. In January of 1925 I moved out.” Detective Sneed said the body might have been buried in the backyard before an addition to the original building was erected about twenty years ago. He has lived in that vicinity for many years and remembers the addition. The spot where the remains were found would have been under the newer building or in the back yard, he said. Police Balked Detective Captain Jerry Kinney admitted police are at a loss as to how to continue the Investigation. He had hoped to assign two additional detectives to the case, but is unable to get the men free from other duties. “I would like to send every man on the force up there to get different views on the case,” Kinney said. “But we are balked. We had hoped someone would give us a clew following publication of the description of the woman’s gold teeth, but have received no responses. “This might be a murder and Jt might not. We are unable to say. I want the matter gone into as fully as possible.” Police Chief Johnson said he believed the mysterious circumstances warranted a thorough investigation. Columbus (Ind.) officials have been unable to find any relatives of Mary Henry, reported to have left there in June, 1925. Description Corresponds The description of her teeth, sent to local police, corresponds somewhat to the teeth found in the skeleton. She was said to have been accompanied by her 6-year-old child. Columbus police have not seen her since her disappearance. , “Since there is no argument against the fact that the body was buried in lime, it is unreasonable to believe that the body has been in the ground much longer than three years,” Robinson said. “In a short time I believe the entire skeleton would have been eaten up, although the quick lime was no doubt losing its strength,” Robinson added.

all sorts of conditions. They thrive on the banks of streams along the seashore, in the low wet marshlands, on the sunny meadows, or in the shade of woodlawn and orchard, varieties, such as the sweet vernal grass, June grass and orchard grass, are the first out of bed in the spring; others, like fimothy, red top and hair grass, flourish in midsummer; and even fall has its grasses, the beard grass and the dropseed grasses of September. The grasses can boast of their long ancestry, for they belong to one of the “first families” of the vegetable kingdom. As far back as history can -go, grasses were growing In abundance. Just as today, they were among the first of plants to cover waste or barren ground and reclaim a neglected roadway or field. One of the most important things grasses do is to bind down the soil until plants of larger and slower growth can establish themselves, and even then the grasses protect the roots of trees and our fences, roads and buildings by forming a thick, enduring carpet, which prevents the wind and rain from carrying away their soil foundation or from blotting them out and burying them under shifting sands. In winter the grasses changed from their beautiful green to colors of gold and brown, give protection to the seeds and tender bulbs during their long sleep under the snow. The great natural pasture-land of

SEEK RECRUITS IN S.H.S. FIGHT (Continued From Page One) James Coffin and Mrs. James F. Bailey. This committee will select anew place to hold the next meeting which probably will be held Wednesday. Association members were urged to attend the meeting of the Shortridge High School Parent-Teachers’ Association at 8 tonight at the school, it is expected the Shortridge controversy will be discussed. Urged to Continue J. Clyde Hoffman, association president and attorney, urged persons interested in the fight to continue to support the move. “One of the purposes of this organization will be to assure school board members that the majority of the patrons are still insisting on the location of Shortridge at ThirtyFourth St. and no other place,” Hoffman said. "The school should be erected there immediately." Association members scored persons who spoke in favor of the Forty-Sixth St. site at a meeting Monday evening at the Meridian Heights Presbyterian Church, FortySeventh and Park Ave. “They had no good arguments why the school should be erected on Forty-Fourth St.,“ Forbes said. Hoffman said since both sides had rights to their own opinions there were “no ill feelings." Bosson Speaks William Bosson, association attorney, said persons favoring the school on Forty-Sixth St., “spoke as though Forty-Sixth St. would be an educational thoroughfare 100 l'eet wide.” Bosson attacked the Forty-Sixth St. proponents for their statements about transportation facilities. Hoffman said he resented the For-ty-Sixth St. proponents' insinuations about the immoral conditions and poolrooms in the Thirty-Fourth St. neighborhood. He said there have been four or five in several years, but there are none now. It was announced that all but one of the 200 members of the Thirtieth Street Business Men© Club had voted favoring locating the school on Thirty-Fourth St. Meeting of the Indianapolis Federation of Community Civic Clubs executive committee, which was to have been held Wednesday night, was postponed until Monday, President A. Le Roy Portteus announced. The Shortridge situation will be discussed.

the world are the steppes of Russia, the pampas of South America, the vast plains of America, find the wide ranges or "runs” of Australia. Practically every farm has its pastureland. and the reason is easily understood. Fattening beef cattle, which would cost 20 cents on a ration of grain and roughage, costs only 3 or 4 cents a pound on pasture-land, and a cow pastured at a cost of 3 to 5 cents a day will give as much milk as when fed on grain and hay at three or four times the cost. Grasslands of greatest perfection are lawns, especially the lawns of England, and other old countries where they have been rolled, trimmed and regularly watered for centuries. Lawn or pasture grasses have leaves that grow constantly from their bases so that when they are grazed or clipped, they quickly grow up again. There are a number of ornamental grasses such as ribbon grasses, plume grass, Ravenna grass. Job's tears, and the tall plumed Argentine pampas. Grasses are well fitted for making their own way in the world, and if for any reason they are not wanted they become a most persistent weed, like the blue grass and quack grass which are among the worst weeds of our fields. Numerous are the devices for spreading their seeds, and grass plants are multiplied many times by growths from stolons or stems running along the ground, underground stems, and multiplying bulbs. Grases are rapid growers.
