STRONG BUYING SENDS FUTURE PRICES HIGHER firm Liverpool Market Is Aid in Early Grain Advance. BY HAROLD E. RAINVILI.E United Pre* Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, April 9. Spring leather brought a more cheerful feeling on the Board of Trade today and grains were * generally higher. Wheat scored a modest advance on the decidedly firmer Liverpool market and strength in stocks. There was a smattering of selling orders, but a fair demand gobbled them up with alacrity. Liverpool rose on a better demand. Corn buoyed up the firmness in wheat, but May suffered some selling, which held that month about steady. Oats held in line and gained with the major grains. At the opening wheat was ■'% to \ cent higher with May % cent lower. Provisions were fairly active and steady. Chicago Grain Table April 9 WHEAT— Prev. Hlßh. Low 11:00. close.

Cites Safety Growth Increased safety of flying in the army air corps in the last year, compared with 1921 and the intervening years, is shown in figures announced by Dr. R. E. Whitehead, 517 HumeMansur building, army medical reserves captain and aviation medical examiner for the department of commerce. There was one death for each 1,718 hours of flying in 1921, compared with cne death for each 8,700 hours of flying in 1930, Dr. Whitehead pointed out. For the period July 1 to Dec. 31, 1930, there was one death for 16,903 hours flown, none of the accidents attributable to engine or structural failure, he reported. Earhart Sets Record PHILADELPHIA, April 9.—Amelia Earhart, with one record to her credit—that of being the first woman to fly an Autogiro plane—today awaited official confirmation of her barographs for the second record. Miss Earhart made two altitude tests with the new type windmill plane at Pitcairn airfield. Willow grove, Wednesday, reaching an unofficial height of 19,000 feet in the second flight after soaring to 18,500 feet in the first. Takes Solo Flight Herman P. Roesch, local druggist and president of the Indianapolis Aero-Glider Association, made his first solo flight Tuesday afternoon at municipal airport in an Eaglet monoplane. Roesch soloed after about seven hours’ instruction part of which was taken under Bob Shank at Hoosier airport and the remainder under Orville L. Grimes of the Eaglet Aviation Corporation at municipal airport.

On request, sent with stamped addressed envelope, Mr. Ripley will furnish proof of anything depicted by him.

Following is the explanation of j Ripley's "Believe It or Not” ; which appeared in Wednesday’s j Times: An Elephant Was Supported by Four Small Glass Bottles—ln a test to prove the strength of or- j dinary glass bottles, four seven- j ounce capacity bottles were placed on a wooden base and another wooden platform placed on the bottle necks. The weight of a 13,-000-pound elephant sitting on the platform did not break the bottles, though one was driven into the wood. My drawing was made from an original photograph taken at the Toledo zoo Sept. 11, 1925. Polycrates the Fortunate—Polycrates, the Fortunate, ruler of Samos (sixth century, B. C.% was persuaded to part with the thing he valued most for the purpose of appeasing the gods, jealous of his extraordinary and continuous good fortune. Accordingly he lost a valuable signet ring in the sea. A few’ days later a fisherman j offered him a freshly caught fish, j in the maw of which the tyrant’s ; ring was found. Polycrates eventually was cruci- ; tied by Oroetes of Sardis, accord- j ing to the account of Herodotus. John L. Sullivan Won a FiveMile Race Twelve Out of Thirteen Times—John L. Sullivan, known as "The Marvelous Miracle Man of Syracuse,” won the Pastime Athletic Club five-mile race twelve out of thirteen times in 1923. At that time he was 53 years of age. The Glow of a Firefly—Although the deep-cloaked glow within the body of a firefly is wholly lacking in heat, it is 100 per cent pure flame. A gas flame is only 3 per cent efficient, an electric arc about 10 per cent of what it should be and sunshine gives off only 35 per cent of visible light rays. Reference: “Jungle Days.” by William Beebe, Page 154. Friday: “Older than her husband, though born later.” STUTZ SHOWS GAIN Motor Plant Pay Roll Up 25 Per Cent. Shipments of Stutz cars during the first quarter of this year were approximately 9% times greater than in the same quarter last year, E. S. Gorreil, president of the Stutz Motor Car Company of America, announced today. Each month has shown increases in business, and during March shipments W’ere four times larger than in March, 1930. The carry-over of unfilled orders on the books of the company on April 1, 1931. was greater than the entire monthly shipments in 1930 and likew’ise greater than the monthly shipments in any one month so far this year. Production forces have been substantially enlarged, and today the Stutz pay roll is 25 per cent greater than it was on Feb. 1, 1931, it is stated. Gives Bond In Still Case Bond of $2,000 was provided by John W. Darnell, at whose home in Mars Hill deputy sheriffs confiscated a large still last week, when he was arraigned before United States Commisisoner Howard S. Barret O'Hara to Aid Brothers earl grand jury Wednesday. A CLEAR COMPLEXION * Ruddy cheeks—sparkling eyes—most women can have. Dr. F. M. Edwards for 20 years treated scores of women for liver and bowel ailments. During these years he gave his patients a substitute for calomel made of a few well-known vegetable ingredients, naming them Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. Know them by their olive color. These tablets are wonder-workers on the liver and bowels, causing a normal action, carrying off the waste and poisonous matter in one's system. If you have a pale face, sallow look, dull eyes, pimples, coated tongue, headaches, a listless, no-good feeling, all out of sorts, inactive bowels, take one of Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets nightly for a time and note the pleasing results. Thousands of women and men take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets—now and then to keep fit. 15c, 30c and 60c.—Adwortianmanf.
