WHEAT PIT TURMOIL SENDS PRICES BACK TO NEW TOP SPOT

CHICAGO. May 12. Summary stoppage of trading In the May delivery did not long delay fresh advances In the prices of other options. Although the market at first shorted material declines on account of lack of support, buying was soon resumed In sufficient quantities to make quotations Jump in the same extraordinary fashion that of late has kept the , wheat pit In a turmoil. July delivery leaped up 13 to $2.59 as against 246 to at the opening and compared with 249 to 2.50 4 at yesterday's fin1 Jen. Meanwhile, Sept. soared to 227, a rise of 9 to 10c over night. The market was extremely nervous. Corn followed the same course as : wheat. Trade was very light After : opening Va to lc lower the market rallied sharply and scored decided ; gains over yesterday. 1 Traders in oats took their cut wholly from the action of other cereals. Buying power, though, was not great- ' ly in evidence. Strength of hogs and ' grain caused provisions to average higher. Firmness was most apparent in pork and ribs.

Traders Are Cautious in New York Stock

NEW YORK, May 12. Operations proceeded with extreme caution In the first half-hour of today's session. Dealings were the lightest pf any recent similar period, offerings being limited almost entirely to the usual market leaders. Fractional gains and losses were about evenly distributed at the outset but heaviness soon developed in Utah Copper, Texas Company, American Telephone and Baldwin Lo

comotive, those issues losing from half a point to a full point. St Paul was weakest of the rails, losing two points. Reading and other coalers also shaded. United States Steel lost a moderate fraction, but rallied. Shippings, Industrial Alcohol and prominent equipments were steady. A postmortem, held on m hen that cied near Rochester, disclosed ten full-sized soft-shelled eggs in her body. People condemned her for keeping products out of circulation, and thus adding to the high cost of living.

The Only Automobile Headlight Glass that Does

en

One foggy night ten cars left the Exmoor Country Club, Chicago. Nine of them equipped with ordinary headlights crept nervously along at 10 miles an hour behind a blinding blur. Only one car could make any speed in the fog. It sped along at 25 miles per hour. Its headlights shot a low, strong, golden beam through the fog for several hundred feet. This car sped along this golden path swiftly and safely. It was equipped with Conaphores. How Noviol Glass Causes Light to Pierce Fog The Conaphore is a new scientific headlight glass which pierces fog and dust without back-glare. It is the only headlight glass that can do this. The reason the Conaphore has this exclusive fog-piercing feature is that it is made of Noviol Glass. Noviol glass is a patented golden-tint glass. It was invented and perfected by scientists in the laboratories of the Corning Glass Works. This company is the largest manufacturer of technical glass in the world. It makes practically all the signal glass used on all American railroads. Noviol Glass absorbs the blue and violet rays that are

the chief cause of back-glare. This does not decrease the efficiency of the light, but increases it. Only motorists who have ridden behind Conaphores in a heavy fog can realize what this wonderful feature means. Wonderful Range in Clear Weather On foggy nights the Conaphore is the only headlight glass that gives range without back-glare. On clear nights it has a range of 500 feet or more and has absolutely no glare. The light is on the road whe're you want it; there is ample side-light. Because of the golden-tint of the Noviol beam, the bushes, ditches, etc., along the roadside stand out clearly. In design the Conaphore is scientific, yet simple. It has a smooth outer surface which never gets clogged with dust or snow, and a series of horizontal corrugations on the inner face. These corrugations bend down the light and shoot it out in a long beam, never more than 42 inches above the road. Thus all state and city no-glare laws are complied with. Also Made in Clear Glass Conaphores are made of clear glass as well as Noviol

Glass. Clear glass Conaphores are equally efficient !n giving long range and preventing glare, but lack' the added advantages possessed by the Noviol Glass of eliminating back-glare and penetrating fog cr dust. We strongly recommend the Noviol. Easy to Install You will find the Conaphore easy to install. Simply take out the glass now in your headlight and put the Conaphore in its place. Sizes are made to fit all cars. In ordering give name, model and year of your car, and diameter of your present headlight glass. All progressive dealers now sell Conaphores. Put a pair on your car today. If your dealer cannot supply you, write us. PRICE LIST
