which suggested that they stood in ' need of technical correction following the sweeping advance of the last several weeks. Signs of weariness which they showed encouraged bearish professionals to push their operations for the declina with increasing aggressiveness us 4 the session progressed. 1 Vigorous bullish demonstrations were staged in the first three or four hours in individual / stocks like Houston Oil, Westingiiouse Airbrake; Erie preferred and Nickel Plate. However, the failure of the market leaders to respond to this situation gave confidence to the bear crowd.

Hu United Press PARIS, May 12.; —Anew school of French art—the “brass-tacks realists’’—has conte into being in succession to the futurists, the cubists and the nudists. fc Their motto might well be “An eye "for an eye” and “Give no quarter.” They believe in painting things as they see them and in using wherever possible real concrete ideas. They provide the humor and the highlights of the new Salon des Independents in the Grand Palais. Since that saloq, unlike all the otheis. great annual gatherings of paintings in Paris, has no jury, any artist can submit any of his works, accompanied by an entrance fee, and find his picture hung. The “brasstacks realists” entered the new salon by platdbns. Work Swiftly Perhaps the outstanding accomplishment of their brief existence is their ability to paint often and swiftly, and paint things exactly as they see them, getting to brass tacks in their work. Some of their canvases are really sensational. There is one showing the Virgin with the Christ Child bentacross her knees, inflicting upon hint a sound spanking with such force that his aureola has fallen off. Wears Only Eye Glasses There is depicting the elopement of a princess of mytholdgy 1 but there is nothing of mythology in the princess’ dress. She wears a late Patou sports suit, high heeled black boots and flesh-colored /Silk stockings. To paint a self-portrait, one of the painters of the new school disrobed himself except for his eye glasses. But the group’s masterpiece is a statue, made of stove-pipe "and bed springs, with a few splashes of plaster of Paris. This piece compares with anything the cubists haw entered in the show. The longest successful forward pass, made by “Brick” Muller of the i’niversity of California in 1920, was 0 yards.

Despite the fact that 4 per cent or 69,000 acres of wheat-sown last fall in Indiana have been abandoned because of winter killing, flooding and other causes, the acreage for May 1 was reported as 1,715.000, which is 18,000 more than last year, acceding to an announcement today from the office of Miner M. Justin, agricultural statistician of the Purdue Diversity agricultural experiment station and the United States Department of Agriculture.

In the Cotton Market

(By Thomson k. MvKinnnn) NEW YORK. May 12.—Unexpected rains in northern Texas and Louisiana added eonftiderable strength to the cotton market this morning:. Pro fen - ion a 1 traders were of the opinion that of the liquidation wan over and this view was strengthened by the notieeablc scarcity of nellinp orders on' the advamr. Private reports that levees along- the Red River had reached tinlimit of their holding power were received in the early afternoon. It is apparent that the market advances much more easily than it declines. The eastern belt JUiwell as west Texas ar<* still in need of moisture. These conditions lead us to believe that a short position is still preearious and we therefore favor the long side of the market both ns a trading position or for those who prefer a permanent position.

WHEAT DECLINES, LATER RALLYING; OATS MAKES GAIN 9 ___________ Corn Surprises by Advancing, but Falls Off at Close. Bu United Press CHICAGO. May 12.—The generally improved weather over the grain belt, especially fn the Northwest and Canada, together with an unresponsive Liverpool market, resulted in local selling and some cony misslon house pressure early, and with the demand scattered and moderate in volume,'prices declined sharply for the May. Later, however,' of considerable insect damage and the strength in corn brought out considerable buying, aand all early losses weer regained, with final figures unchanged to %c higher. Export business continued small. Receipts here were 30 cars. The cash market was unchanged. Liverpool was %c to %c higher at midday, and this helped stimulate buying here. Corn again surprised the trade by making good advances, with the May especially strong. There was profit-taking early and prices declined, but an oversold developed on short cohering, together, with a fair outside trade, forced prices higher. However, heavy profit taking late in the session again forced prices down, with the close %c higher to *4c lower. The cash demand was good ttnd receipts continued light at only thirty-eight cars. There was no news to nccount for the heavy buying. The cash market was lie to lc higher/ Oats followed corn and made good advances, closing %e to %c higher. There was considerable commission house buying and offerings were light. Receipts were seventy-four cars. The cash market was %c to lie higher. Provisions were easier, hogs being 10c to 15c lower, with a generally slow demand. • _____ Chicago Grain Table VfHEAT— ~ 'D 1 Prpv. Open. Hiyli. Low. Clow\ cloai*.

STEVE’S BATTLE TO SOUTH BEND (Continued From Page 1) I lug tested and the country's call went out for its sonfe to rally and I save its flag, Stephenson was one of the boys who marched away. then said ‘the best will be none too good for you when you come back.’ ‘‘He went in a private and cauic back a major. ‘‘They certainly didn't mean a framed prosecution—solitary 'confinement and the refusal to even see Ills personal attorney privately. BI T YET THE TRUTH ALWAYS CLAMORS FOR UTTERANCE. THERE IS NO MALICE IN OCR HEARTS, BUT A DEMAND FOR JUSTICE SO BOLD THAT BEFORE WE ARK THROUGH IT MAY BATTER IN ! DOORS WHERE THEY LEAST EXPECT IT.” Punishment Known The punishmept of Stephenson is known inside the prison. The guards whisper it, afraid to I talk openly. No guard will talk, j They fear contact with this unusual | prisoner. Bad luck has followed ' every one who lias had anything to do with him. They know that for eight he was given punishment known as solitary. That followed the return of Crawford when he told of the plot with friends of Eddie Touhy, to stage a dramatic prison delivery and set Stephenson free and the further Admission . that he had received money stint to a South Bend lawyer, by Stephenson which had for its' . last desperate use the hiring of a Chicago gunman to assassinate the Governor of Indiana. They know that since lie was I taken from that solitary, which oth- ! ers have said left Stephenson cring- ! ing and crying for mercy, Stepheni son has been in isolation. In the petition filed by Attorney j Moore, he sets up the specific charge that “an immense fund was raised j to intimidate witnesses and tamper J with the jury” when Stephenson | was tried for murder. Relies on “Mad Mullah” Moare is frank in saying that this i will be backed up by sources which--1 recently pubUshed the story of Stephenson in a book entitled “The Mad Mullah of America.’’ ’ln that book is this significant paragraph: “During the time which intervened between the day of Stephenson’s arrest and the day on which lie was declared guilty by the jury which heard the triad, fhc ‘scandal department* of the Klan worked day and night, and, in round fig. ures, spent $100,000." Because of the fact that Moore is himself plaintiff in the suit to force permission to see his client. Stepheirj son will not be brought into court I at any hearing. What Isolation Means • Isolation means sitting in a eell whose front is covered with a thin i screen all through the days. He never leaves this cell except for a weekly bath. He talks to no one. He is left with the of hl vanquished ixower, of bis grip over officials, of the days when ho made Governors and hohnobbed with United Statss Senators. That, says the whispered rumor about the prison, can have hut one ! effeef. And the prediction of an j early insanity hearing for Stephenj son is whispered from lip to lip.

GIRLS OF RUSSIA GET MORE WORK DONE THAN BOYS Results of Survey Among 4,000 Children An- 1 . nounced. But ifUt il Tress MOSCOW, May 12.—The age-old question of who has to work hardest. the girls or the boys, lia.s been answered in favor of the girls by ;t survey of the way -1,000 .Kiissian children spend the twenty-four hours of each day. The girls work one and onc-hulf times as hard as the boys, in the Soviet Union at least. The report showed that Soviet children spend 38 per cent of their leisure time playing games and 61 per cent in taking walks. Only one-half of one per cent of their free time is passed in moving plcturo theaters or other entertainments of the sort. Dolls for the girls have almost lost their charm entirely. The survey, including children from every sort of family environment, divided the homework of the hoys and girls, ltunning errands is tho principal item, 54 per cent of all the homo work. Dusting, washing floors and other domestic chorea come second in importance,) 24 per cent. Washing and wiping dishes, cooking, setting table and clearing up after meals occupy third place, lti per Cent. > The family laundry is mostly for the girls to do and this accounts for 12 per cent the home labors, exactly the same proportion allotted to taking care of younger brothers and sisters, also principally tho work of the girls. Mending and darning clothes, work for girls, and tending animals, drawing water and splitting kindling wood, work for boys, balance each other, each being -1 per cent of all the housework. The sports include hockey, skating, ski-ing and sledding as the winter's favorite pastimes* and swimming ! and rowing in summer. Tho boys Ihlso play football as much as posj sible <Tnd hand ball lias been winning favor. Driver Arrested J. T>.
