Dec- l.-4VNerv-ousness over grave aspects of Sino-Japanese war happenings did much to lift Jheat prices today. ... - Although setbacks of securities sernred '. at times - to pull wheat .rallies down, new .upturns of the Chicago wheat market as the day drew to an end more than over- , came transient losses. Brisk Jumps of wheat quotations in Buenos Aires vere likewise a late stimulus. t - Visible Supply Drop Export purchases of United States wheat totaling 650,000 bushels helped further to bring about late advances in price; and sotoo did 2,745,000 bushels de crease . of the domestic wheat visible supply. : At the tlose.

While Tolnme was compara tively email, and there were a few recoveries in the final hour, leading steels, motors, oils and specialties ended at or near bot tom levels for the session. A number of new lows for the year or longer were recorded. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks fell 1.5 points to 44.6. It was the sharpest relapse since November 22.

Large Croup From Scio Hears Kryl Orchestra , At Albany Appearance ALBANY Approximately 900 persons attended the Kryl Sym phony concert In the auditorium of the high school Wednesday night. Among those in the audi ence were a large number of resi dents from the vicinity of Scio, who came especially to see Bohu mir Kryl. For the most part these were natives of Bohemia, Kryl's native country. Appearing on the program with the great cornetist was Edith Hackleman Gilchrist of Albany. Miss Hackleman, pianist, played the Lizt Hungarian fantasie with the orchestra. Pacific northwestern barley markets were steady to slightly higher for the week ended De cember 9 with feeding types in fair request and a slightly stronger inquiry for malting bar ley. Arrivals at Portland com prised mainly feeding barley from the Klamath Falls area. Some increased inquiry for malting barley from middlewest ern points and reluctance of the Willamette valley growers to sell except at . substantial premiums over feeding types was the prin cipal strengthening factor in the market for malting barley. Offerings of feeding barley were about sufficient for current market needs and No. 2 bright western testing 45 pounds per bushel was quoted at Portland at Sl-35 per 100, sacked, with malting barley of the Henchen variety from the Willamette val ley up around IViC per 100 and quoted at 1.42 per 100, sacked basis, FOB cars Willam ette valley points.

How's that, my fine friend?" He slapped Clyde heartily on the shoulder, pleased as a boy with his scheme. 1 "Gosh, Bruce, thafs great of yoo. I know just the place to land, too. There's an open space near Rose rae&d; used to be a practice track . when they raised race horses on the plantation. No trees on it, or wires near by or anything." There was a -- ring of excitement in Clyde's warrds. His eyes glistened, f Won't Lucy Lee . be surprised to see us and boy; wont it be fine to be back home again 1 i "Figuring it as about eighteen - hundred to two thousand miles down there, Ames calculated, "we ought to do it in say, bow fast does this ' new boat of yours travel T" ",. vTnising speed ot about one - hundred and fifty." ' " sv "Then we ought to make It easily bi less than fourteen hours flying time. Suppose we pull out tomorrow morning early. How will that pel "Great," assented Lorinar and Clyde in chorus. The actor fixed Ames with . a stern and knowing ; gaze. " "Remember, fella no pub- bcityT Get that! Nix on the bally. boo. Well just ; drift down there and back without the papers or the studio being any the wiser. I know what you're aching to do with the yarn; but this time," lay off. No monkey business. Get met" - 1 "Aye, ye, skipper. Dumb's the word on this cruise. But listen, you got me wrong, honest you did,? Ames added plaintively. "It never entered my innocent young mind to broadcast the yarn." "No, not any more than a cat would think of lapping cream, know you too well,- yon big bum.' "My pal," grinned the press agent. ! "You birds can pbone me when to be ready in the morning," Loring - said. Be seeing you then." He went In to the dressing-room where his Japanese boy was waitine to helo ', him take off bis make-up and change . lnn street clothes. - - . .; Clyde and Don Ames left. the bunralow tosrether. the former as hopeful now as he had been down .cast when they 1 entered. ' They walked across the lot to his dressing-room. Perhaps he had not lost . Lucy Lee after all. Of course he didn't deserve to be forgiven for what he had done and said last night but if he could only make her under stand how sorry he was ... he would spend the rest of his life trying to make her happy. What a grand guy Bruce was. If there were more like him in Hollywood it would be a mar. velous place. Here "he was, taking that beautiful new low-wing mono- Elane of his, the finest job of its ind on the Coast, to taxi a fellow itwe thousand miles! There was a pal for you. Just like that time on : the island when he hurt his foot and Bruce waited on him like a nurse. - icooiung nis zooa ana everything. "They dont come much finer than ; eld Bruce," he mused. "He's always . there in the pinches." You said it. Big Boy. .He's prince. But I still think it's a dirty shame he killed the story. Can't you feature the headlines? 'Star Aids Hero Friend.' 'Loring Saves Sweethearts 'Romance Rides the Air.' How I could go to town on that yarn! It's breaking my heart, not to use it." IH break your neck if you do," Clyde assured him. "So you'd better lay off, like he said." You Willi" exclaimed Ames, with a chuckle. "And how many more? What's the idea, you big lug! Publicity put you on the map, didnt it? Where would' you have been without the old ballyhoo, huh?" - "Right where I'm heading for to morrow morning fast as the plane will carry use," replied Clyde. , -t ; They were in his dressing-room and he was smearing his face with cold cream to remove the make-up, "If it hadn't been for your darned ballyhoo Lucy Lee and I would never have left Carterton in the first place. Well, we're going to forget it, see, and settle down again like regular folks." - That may be true, but don't over look the fact that my drcusing won you a wad you wouldn't have got your mitts on in fifty years, young fella," the press agent reminded him. "Unless yOu happened to strike oil, or something." . I know and I appreciate It, too. I've got more dough now than I ever dreamed of having. Why, down in Carterton they'll think I'm. as rich as Henry Ford. But don't you see, Don all the money In the world doesn't make any difference if I've lost Lucy Lee. The only reason I wanted it in the first place was to do things for her:; ' -i .- "Like putting a new roof on Rose mead?" - Ames 1 suggested with a quirk of the eyebrows. . "That's what she yearned for most, you know." "If Lucy Lee will Just take me back, she can put a solid' gold roof on the old house, for all I care. It would be worth it, to see her happy." He fiunsr down the towel with which he had been wiping off his face and stared at himself in the mirror, "Lord, but I'm glad to get that greasy, stuff off my homely pan. Never again, for me. Tm through with trying to be an actor. If , any of the big shots around the studio ask about me you can say 1 ve gone back to Louisiana and motor grease. It s more in my line." , " Rosemead, dreaming in the South ern sun, its stately facade of mellow brick and tall white pillars pat terned by the flickering shadows of tall trees. . Dark green eedars marching In two dignified lines from the road to the house. Tangled thicket of roses run riot, creamy white and golden pink, lavishly scattering their rich perfume on the ambient air. When the returning travelers drove op to the house in the old station wagon which had met trains at the junction for the past twenty years they saw, to their astonish ment, smoke rising above the trees. For one desperate moment fear clutched at Lucy Lee. Rosemead was on fire! Else why the pillar of smoke? Then she realized that it was rising decorously - from , the kitchen chimney as it had done, ever since she - could remember.- when Gardenia was at her culinary tasks. But ef course it could not be Gar denia getting dinner. No one knew they were returning. She had not let a soul in Carterton know that the Carter family was coming back home. Yet that was certainly smoke rising from the kitchen chimney. But how and why? Now that she was actually drivinr up the cedar bordered road te the half circle drive before the house, Lucy Lee's heart was heavy within her breast. Each mfle the train had moved had made her realize she was going farther and farther away . from Clyde. The first burst of re sentment, indignation and deep hurt which had made possible her de- ; cision to leave Hollywood passed in a few hours, leaving her heartsick and regretful. Why had she acted so hastily? Not even giving Clyde a chance to explain. It was no use telling herself that no girl ought to forgive a man for saying and doing what he had done. Her pride did not sustain her now, except during the daylight hours when she must pretend to Daddy Carter and Juddy that she was as ' glad as they were to be going back home. At night in her;.berth she had lain awake endless weary hours listening to the grinding of the train wheels, with but one thought in her tired brain. "I've lost Clyde , . . I've lost Clyde ... I've lost Clyde ." each turn of the wheels seem ed to say, grinding the words into hex very soul with pitiless reitera tion. ;: ' ' ' ' . Yet next day, as the ramshackle station wagon came up the drive way to Rosemead, Lucy Lee felt a belated thrill of gladness. After all, this was home. The kindly old house seemed to welcome them benignly. As a child she had often fancied it was almost on the verge of actually speaking to .. her, so wise and friendly did it appear. Now it might have been saying, "This is where you belong, child." The an cient eedars nodded a greeting, too, as she passed,- And there was oId Billy Boy getting creakily up and wagging his tail, as he barked bis joy.- .: -' . ; Juddy jumped down off the slowly : moving wagon and hugged the old dog. Billy Boy licked Juddy's face ecstatically, for the moment feeling young and spry again. ' The carry-all stopped before the wide steps of the veranda and the negro driver, under Wakefield Car ter's direction, began to unload the luggage.
