INTEREST GONE; WHEAT TRADING AT STANDSTILL Grain Speculators Staying Out of Market Until After Election. By United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 31.—With trade almost at a standstill and buying interest lacking, wheat worked lower today on the Board of Trade. The com situation was unchanged. Oats were steady. Wheat opened unchanged to tic off. Com and oats were unchanged. Provisions were slightly lower. Many traders have no confidence in wheat and are staying out of the market until after the election. The foreign situation is bullish but supplies in North America are so large that most operators take a pessimistic outlook. It generally is believed that prices will work lower early in the winter, although day to day news may hold them up for the present. Receipts of new corn are increasing but they are readily absorbed because of the scarcity of old com. European countries have been buying moderate quantities due to the prevailing low prices. Oats from the northwest are being hedged but they are readily absorbed. The market is holding within narrow limits. Chicago Grain Table WHEAT— Prev. High. Low. Last, close.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) Anyone, and that means nearly every one bullish on business in the country, needs offer no apology for his position. The report of the United States Steel Corporation following closely the report of the General Motors Corporation, amply justifies even the extreme bullish view. But why did the stock market slip again? A reasonable question, isn’t it? Millions all over the world are bullish on our stocks and are buying them. Then why the more frequent setbacks of late? We think it means that the supply from distributors has increased to the extent where it has caught up with the demand. If such is true, then you have a real problem before you because if something should go wrong here or elsewhere, something to shawe confidence, so that the desire to sell should increase only moderately, you can readily see o.* figure out what would happen to the price. It is because of this thought rather than any actual bearish feeling that we continue to urge moderation in commitments.

Placing six and one-haif ton Ind ana limestone column capitals on New Civil Courts Building, St. Louis.

Bn Times Special ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 31.—The ; new Civil Courts building here is ' unique in its classic treatment of ■■ exterior. All architectural embellishment has been confined to the crowning upper part of the struc- j ttire. Thirty-two columns of In- j diana limestone, 40 feet high and | 5 feet 2 inches in diameter, weigh-1 ing sixty-five tons each, form the j massive colonnade which orna- l ments the top of the building. One of the most spectacular'■ feats of stone setting was carried out when the large, artistically carved column capitals, each weighing six and a half tons, were hoisted nearly 300 feet In the air and then lowered on to their bed of mortar on top of the stone shaft of the column. The speed and skill with which the present day masons bring their work to completion is clearly apparent in this building operation. After the lifting tackle was adjusted, it required only eight to ten minutes to raise each section of the columns, and the large column caps, such as the one shown in process of setting, from the truck, hoist it into the air and bed It into place. More than 15,000 pieces, of stone for the entire building were shipped from the Bedford quarries of the Indana Limestone Company, 433 carloads in all, and in less than six months, all stone work was completed. THIEF™ TAKES TUXEDO Police Search for Halloween Sprite Ready to Step Out A seal-skin coat, a tuxedo, a white gold bracelet, a suit, a black leather bag and 50 cents was the lopt a burglar obtained when he used a skeleton key on her apartment at 1932 Central avenue Tuesday, Mrs. Lena Youell reported to police today.

ATHEIST GOES HUNGRY FOR 14 DAYS IN CELL Plans Little Rock Free Speech Meeting After Release From Jail. Bu United Press LITTLE ROCK. Ark., Oct. 31. Charles Smith, atheist, is prepared to call a free speech meeting here in protest against the proposed Arkansas anti-evolution law, he said in a telegram to E. HaldemanJulius. Girard, Kan., publisher. Ha’deman-Julius had wired Smith j suggesting the meeting be called on the first Sunday after Smith is released from custody of authorities. | Smith agreed to the suggestion and I asked the publisher to be the prinj cipal speaker. Smith today entered his fourj teenth day of a hunger strike on ! which he entered in protest against his being placed in jail for circulating atheistic literature here. He had come to Little Rock to campaign against the proposed law which would eliminate the teaching | of the theory of evolution in Arkansas schools. A writ of habeas corpus was obtained Tuesday by Smith’s attorneys, asking that Smith be brought into court Friday to show cause why he should be released. The writ declared ' the act under which Smith was refused the right to testify, because of his atheistic beliefs, is in direct violation of the Constitution of the United States. Smith believes if his case is carried to the United States Supreme Court and if he wins, the decision would affect anti-evolution laws in five states, which he listed as Teanessee, Mississippi, North and South Carolina qnd Maryland.

240-MILE CLIP < IS AIM OF AUTO SPEEDDEMON Segrave Deaf to Direful Forecast Given Him by Fortune Hunter. i Bu United Press LONDON, Oct. 31.—Although a fortune-teller informed Major H. O. D. Segrave that he could come to an untimely end in February, 1929, the major’s preparations for his dual attempt on the world’s automobile and motorboat speed Tecords are in full swing. Weather permitting, both attempts will be made the same week at Daytona, Fla. During the last few months a model of Segrave's automobile has been undergoing scientific tests at the National Physical laboratory, Teddington, Middlesex, for wind and resistance pressure, which is one of the biggest problems connected with the land attempt. The model was subjected to tests in wind tunnels, in which artificial wind pressures were created, in order to overcome the danger of wind lifting the front of the automobile. Expects 240 Miles An Hour In a recent press interview Segrave stated “I am told I may expect a minimum speed of 240 miles an hour, or four miles a minute, with a possible 260 miles an hour. “I am using a British engine similar to the one in the plane in which Flight Lieutenant Webster won the Schneider cup, but qf later date. It Is rated at 450 horsepower, but it is tuned up to give nearly 1,000 horse-power. “Scientific methods of streamlining have saved hundreds of horse-power. The car is shaped like a cigar or an immaase shell. Its streamlining follows closely that of the Schneider cup plane. Withstand Terrific Heat “At first it was considered that ! no tire could be built to withstand | the heat created at a speed of from 240 to 260 miles an hour. The tire makers, however, carried out tests on a special apparatus where tires could be subjected to stresses similar to those to be imposed on the real thing. “They told me they can make the tires to do the speed, but they can only guarantee that they can stand up at the maximum speed for one minute. This, however, should be suffi M ent. “Fifteen seconds will be required to cover the mile at 240 miles an hour, and I probably shall want another fifteen seconds at maximum j speed for approaching the electrical I timing tape, and after passing the | finishing tape, before I begin to ; brake. This gives me thirty seconds at maximum speed. In other words, 1 nave a safety factor of thirty seconds.”
