(By Thomson Sc McKinnon) NEW YORK, Nov. 25.—Wednesday’s unusually heavy turn over on an orderly rising market iwas evidence of the underlying confidence in general conditions. I believe that confidence is fully justified. I see nothing in the news this morning to cause any change in the markets attitude. On the contrary I am looking for increased interest in the rails. Whatever has been disappointing for the carriers has already been discounted and earnings reports before long should show improvemeht. i look for another strong market.

GRAIN FUTURES GENERALLY OFF IN CHICAGO PIT Foreign Markets Decline During Thanksgiving Holiday. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Nov. 25.—Grain 'futures opened generally lower this morning on the Chicago Board of Trade. Opening prices were: Wheat, I%C to l%c lower; com, %c to %c off; and oats up !4c to !4c lower. Decline of all foreign markets over the holiday here was responsible for the downturn. Argentine news was generally favorable and the main factor in the decline. Canadian weather was excellent today and the large movement of grain was resumed. This also tended to depress the local market. Liquidation of December com with the date of delivery nearing continued to be the bearish influence in the com pit today. Weather in the belt was little changed, and early pit news made no important disclosures. Oats were nervous early and displayed more strength than the leading grains. a Provisions opened lower.

Bu United Press LONDON, Nov. 25.—Children have given up playing with dolls, but grown-ups have taken to playing with them. This' unusual fact was revealed at a recent meeting of the Associated Toy Manufacturers. Two explanations were offered for children's lack of interest. The first was that most children now play athletic games almost as soon as they able to toddle. The second was that with the modern small families, the little girl of today does not often see a baby being nursed, therefore the imitaUve faculty of playing with dolld is Jiot developed.

LIFE ONE JOLT AFTERANOTHER 98 Accidents Suffered by Man During Life. Bu United Press FERGUS FALLS, Minn., Nov. 25. -Ninety-eight accidents, some of them serious but most of them minor, have befallen E. P. Lindgren, formerly of Henning, Minn.,'' during his life time. Gofed and tossed into a street by a large Holstein bull, whose tail he grasped, Lindgren suffered his first mishap at the age of 5. His left leg, right arm and collar-bone were broken and his body was punctured in many places.
Now, at the age of 45, he has run over by thirty-seven freight cars and a caboose. The automobile he was driving was struck by an express train, he drove over a fiftyfoot embankment with his car, he has all but chopped off his foot with a hatchet and he has jumped off the top of a bam with a large umbrella, as a parachute, breaking his left leg. This he opened at the age, of 6. He stumbled over a railroad porter’s stool to rupture a joint in his spinal column, causing total paralysis from the hips down. But despite all these mishaps, Lindgren today is representative of the Standard Extension of the University of Chicago, and in recognized as a sales lecturer. Although he has but one arm, he can drive his car, operate a typewriter at a speed of sixty words a minute and can do almost everything with one hand.

EVERYBODY IS GOING TO
MAIL SCHOOLS WILL-GUT OUT BIGjOtOMISES Glowing Pledges of Fat Pay and Mayor Jobs Must Go to Discard. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—N0 longer will correspondence schools “guarantee” jobs in the movies, or that scenarios will be accepted or that one can earn $250 a week as a draftsman or an equal sum as an accountant or, that one’s short story will be printed and the writer get money for it. Extravagent advertising will be discarded officially Jan. 1, and instead overtures to prospective students will be based on the merits of the schools. If correspondence schools resort to misrepresentation they will be violating the agreement of the industry and at the same time laying themselves open to citation by the Federal Trade Commission for violation of the law. This is a result of a conference between representatives of corresjjondence schools handling 80 per cent of this business and the Federal Trade Commission. Unfair Practices Shown The first meeting was in Pittsburgli last spring and after a discussion of many of the extravagant promises contained in the mail schools’ advertisements it was agreed to let the truth speak for itself hereafter. Twenty-six resolutions were adopted setting forth “unfair practices” which constitute violations of the Federal Trade Commission law. Among them were condemnations of misrepresentations concerning prospective earnings, likewise overstatements of the opportunities in certain vocations. While many competent and ex-

perienced draftsmen command sloft a week, schools should not advertise “Earn $250 a week as a drafts-' man.” Another illustration of the practice being tabooed is the fact that the motion picture industry does not generally consider the scenarios of unknown and inexperienced writers. A school, it was agreed, should not, therefore, advertise that there is a big demand for new scenario writers, likewise newspaper and piagazine artists. ‘Guarantees’ Are Hit Another objectionable practice has; been the “guaranteeing” of a jOb or a raise in pay. Still another was so-called bargain prices for a course when the advertised price is the reg-' ular price and not a reduction at all. “Blind” advertisements, misuse of the picture of the National Capitol,, indicating that thf Government is connected with the ■ school, and statements that a school is privately owned when it is conducted as a business institution also are prohibited. Pledging themselves to abide by the agreement are schools in New York, Chicago, Washington, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Scranton, Pa., Rochester and other cities embracing the entire range of subjects taught by mail. London has thousands of basement stores, kitchens and cellars well below the level of the Thames. The fact that these are very seldom flooded is due to the drainage scheme said to be the finest in the world.
