WHEAT WORKS LOWER; CORN PRICES HIGHER Heavy Stocks on Hand and Optimistic Reports Slow Market. By United Press CHICAGO Oct. 22.—Oppressed by record-breaking stocks in North America and predictions of good crops in foreign countries, wheat worked lower today on the Board of Trade. The tone in corn was optimistic and prices advanced. Oats were irregular. Wheat opened *4 to %-cent lower, corn was up % to %-cent and oats ranged from %-cent up. Provisions were slightly lower. A good increase in the visible ■wheat supply is expected today with total supplies in the United States estimated at about 130,000,000 bushels, the largest stock on record at this time of year. The movement in Canada and the northwest has become lighter, but storage room is small. Total corn stocks are about 2,500,000 bushels compared with 22,000,000 bushels at this time last year. The corn belt has heavy rains over the week-end. Cash interests have been selling December oats and buying May, but little new business has developed. B,y Times Special • CHICAGO.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Oct. 22.—Ordinarily serious minded people continue to devote time and thought in the effort to analyze values of stocks as if it was a lot of merchandise —cost of production so much, cost of handling so much, cost of sales so much, profit so much. Is there a man anywhere that is not yet aware of the fact that we are not dealing now in real, in established values? The public state of mind is the real basis for what is going on and for some of the prices prevailing. Every man trading in some of these sensational issues thinks that he is smart enough and quick enough to sell his holdings to some other person just before the big reaction, comes that he is quite sure is coming. The plan sounds fine, it reads well when put on paper, but it does not work in practice. The usual practice in the early part of a bull market is to pyramid, which means continuing to buy more and more as the market rises. Today I believe the very reverse of this practice is warranted. Continue to reduce your holdings. The smaller the long line the more comfortable you will be one of these days.

OLD MENU ONLY DEATH CLEW Probe Kappa Psi Dinner for Woman’s Identity. By United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—A sorority dinner given years ago may prove the only clew by which police can establish the identity of a welldressed woman who died by gas poisoning in a midtown hotel Sunday after registering as “Miss Sloan.” A menu among her effects, evidently preserved for sentimental reasons, was that of a dinner given by Beta Delta chapter, Kappa Psi. Stanwix hall, March 15, 1915. A name on her baggage had been scratched out and a letter mutilated so that it- gave no name or address. The young woman had paid S2O in advance for the room when she entered the hotel, Saturday evening. The police found a granite pot over the open gas jet in the kitchenette and were inclined to assume death was purely accidental until they encountered puzzling difficulties of identification.

Misses A l Smith Enters Back Door at Hospital; Patient Waits at Front.

THERE was a disappointed patient at Methodist hospital today. Dr. George W. Staton. 94, of 1301 University court, had taken a chair in the lobby to see A1 Smith Saturday afternoon when he made a hurried visit to the "bedside of Tom Taggart, veteran Democratic boss. Careful arrangements for the De: ecratic candidate to enter the front way had been made in the morning but at last minute plans were changed. Al's special car whisked him to the ambulance entrance where he found a waiting elevator. Mrs. Anita Scott, hospital hostess knew of the doctor’s desire to see the presidential candidate. She rushed back to the lobby and moved his chair to a window while Smith was in Taggart’s room. But the aged physician was unable to get a glimpse of the Governor. “Well. I’ll have another chance to see the President when I see Hoover,” said Dr. Staton, returning to his room. “I’ll vote for him If I'm living and it isn’t too cold on election day,” he said. “I voted twice for Abraham Lincoln.” Dr. and Mrs. Staton have been married sixty-two years.

NEW STAR IS YARDSTICK FOR SKY DISTANCES Hope to Measure Neighbors by Recent Discovery in Nebula. By Science Service CAMBRIDGE. Mass., Oct. 22.—A nova or “new star” which will help to determine more accurately the distance of one of the neighbor universes of stars just has been discovered by a German astronomer of the Hamburg Observatory, at Bergedorf. This announcement was made here by Dr. Harlow Shapley, director of the Harvard College Observatory, following a cablegram from the International Astronomical Bureau of Copenhagen. The nova appeared in the spiral nebula known to science as Messier, 33, after its number in Messier’s catalog of such objects. It is in the constellation of the triangle, a rather inconspicuous constellation which can now be seen in the eastern evening sky, halfway from the horizon to the zenith. “The nova is important.” stated Dr. Shapley “because its study will help to determine the distance and dimensions of this northern spiral nebula. The system appears to be -the nearest spiral to the earth, but its distance exceeds 700.000 light years.”

TALK AIRPORT LAW Resolution ‘to Acquire’ Is First Legal Step, Adoption of a resolution “to acquire” will be the first legal step in purchasing a municipal landing field, Corporation Counsel John W. Holtzman said today. The 1920 statute permits the city to purchase and manage an airport but does not specifically state the legal procedure. An amendment to the law passed in 1921 permits the city to lease ground for an airport. Following adoption of the resolution of determination the works board will name appraisers to fix a price on the proposed tract. A public hearing probably will be held followed by a request of council for a bond issue, Oren S. Hack, works board president said. Council will have a public hearing before bonds are sold regardless of whether the works board has a public hearing. Holtzman said the works body can have a public hearing to allow citizens to protest but it is not required by statute. Meanwhile Mayor L. Ert Slack ordered city officials to conduct an “independent investigation” of proposed sites before deciding on acceptance of Site 30, north of Ben Davis, which was recommended by the citizens committee. Council has indicated willingness to pass the necessary bond issue. About $30,000 is appropriated in the 1929 budget for operation. AYRES COMPANY HOST 1,200 Employes to Be Entertained at Claypool Tonight. L. S. Ayres & Cos. will entertain about 1,200 employes at dinner in the Riley room of the Claypool tonight.

One of the privileges of the members is three weeks’ vacation with a gift of SIOO from the firm.

TALKING MOVIES GIVEN STINGING RAP IN BRITAIN Most of Audiences Fail to Register Approval of American Films. BY MILTON BRONNER NeA Service Writer LONDON, Oct. 22.—Literally all London seems to be talking about the “talkies,” which just have been introduced here. Most of the professional newspaper film critics do not like them. Musicians who work in movte houses are wondering dolefully whether or not they soon will be losing their jobs. Actors are discussing whether the talkies will seriously affect the speaking stage Would-be preservers of the amenities of the English language write in to the newspapers objecting to the America word “talkies” and propose what they term more dignified appellations, such as “Cinephone." Rap Yankee Twang Others say unless England at once develops a "talkie” art of its own, all England will soon be talking with a Yankee twang. At a recent movie program the rendition of some Classic music by the New York Philharmonic Symphony orchestra left the audience cold. But a couple of comedians with the banjo set the crowd going. They applauded just as if the men were there in the flesh. The first real burst of big enthusiasm came when Martinelli, tenor of the Metropolitan Opera company, sang the famous aria from “Pagliacci.” If one closed one’s eyes once could imagine he were really sitting in the Metropolitan Opera house and hearing Martinelli. The applause that greeted the number was immense. The last thing on the program was a film in which A1 Jolson sings some of his famous “Mammy” songs. < They Like Jolson It is said that A1 always has been shy about trying his fate with a London audience, and that some time during his honeymoon A1 is going to the theater to see how he goes over in the “talkies” with a London crowd. If he had been there the other night he would have been fully satisfied. The audience distinctly liked him. The concensus seemed to be that the “talkies” furnished not only a new, but a highly satisfactory kind of evening’s amusement.
