ESS CIRCLES
ENCOURAGED ON
CONTINUED FIRMNESS
AH Markets Hold Their Own
Pretty Well in Week of
General Busy Trading
\EW VORK. Oct. 14.—Considerable
encouragement was found In business
circles during- the past week In the con
tinued firmness in the grain markets.
(’urn remained the center of interest,
new high prices for the last three years
Mug: realized despite the fact that the
department • of agriculture predicted a
crop of 3.021.000.000 bushels. Such a
large yield and at prices considered re
markably good, should, it was thought,
improve the position' of the farmer con
siderably.
Wheat prices also held close to the
season s high while the department of
agriculture announced that the prices
which the farmers are now receiving1
for their principal crops are 27 per een^;
above those of a year ago.
Cotton prices also continued to hold
up well although additional curtail
ments were reported in certain New
England textile mills. Mills in the
south were stated, however, to be op
erating at about 90 per cent of capacity
and the government consumption report
which was published Saturday was
rather better than had been expected.
This report showed 484,000 bales of
lint were used in September, which was
a short month, as far as working days
are concerned, as compared with 492,
Ofln bales in August, which was a long
month.
Railroad car loadings reports mean
while showed that the extraordinary
large distribution of goods was being
maintained. A new high‘record was,
in fact, set by the'week ending Septem
ber 29. some 1.097,000 cars being loaded
with revenue freight. •
Signs of a further slight slackening
were apparent in the steel industry,
though buying during October was re
ported to be somewhaf; better than that
during September.
Firmness in the foreign exchanges
was attributed to encouragement over
♦he French agreement with the Ruhr
industrialists and to (greater optimism
°ver the possibiliyt of a reparations
settlement. Little change was apparent
in the money market, conditions be
;ng described as relatively comfortable.
Bonds displayed a slightly better tone.

“THE GIRL OF THE GOLDEN WEST”
David Belasco says that were he to
! produce "The Girl of the Golden West”
on the legitimate stage again he would
pick Sylvia Bregmer for the title role.
At least such was the essence of a
letter received by Director' -Edwin.
| Car ewe from the famous prodttcer aft
er he had witnessed a showing of the
screen adaptation of “The Girl of "the
Golden West," a First National pic
ture which is to play at the Victoria
theatre starting “today.
Carewe, who both produced and di
rected the picture, sent a print to Be
lasco so that the genius of the • stage
could -see his favorite production on
the silver screen. In the letter Belasco
said that he was Immensely pleased
with the way Carewe had transferred
his favorite play to the films, and he
was particularly delighted with Sylvia
Breamer’s work.
Reminds Producer of Blanche Bates
If he were to stage a revival of the
classic, Mr. Belasco' says he should
like to have Miss Breamer play the
title role, because she was his ideal
for the title part, and reminded him
so much of Blanche Bates, who cre
ated the part behind the footlights.
. Has Highest Praise for Star
"Miss Breamer has done wonderful
work in this picture," said Carewe,
"and I know it will establish a won
derful reputation for her. She seems
to live the part and I think that David
Belasco is more than justified when
he says that Miss Breamer would be
marvelous on thp stage in , the same
.rdle she plays in the picture.”

NEW YORK, Oct. Ill—An art gal
lery In a ^railway station was never
known until the opening last spring of
the exhibition rooms of the Painters’
and Sculptors' Galleries association on
the top floor of the Grand Central
Terminal in New York. .
Far from being incongruous, the lo
cation of the new gallery seems to
bring art a little nearer to every day
things. Since the frank object of the
gallery is to help the American artist
to sell his work, th4 situation is par
ticularly appropriate.
There is always something new to he
seen at the Grand Central Galleries, as
exhibits are changed every few weeks.
This Is a boon to the unknown exhib
itor, and many a talented "new”
painter and sculptor is brought to light
by this policy.
The railway station art gallery now
occupies eight-rooms. Soon the entire
series of 20 rooms of the original plan
will be ready for occupancy, and It
will then be among cne largest gal
leries In the world.
Not nearly all the ardent music
lovers and just plain curious people
who were eager to witness Paderew
ski’s return from politics to the piano
were able to gratify their wish last
year. The great pianist’s promised
American tour this season will give
these admirers another chalhce. Pade
rewski’s first appearance in New York
will be .with the New York Symphony
Orchestra on December 6 and 7, when,
it is stated, he will either direct his
own symphony or play his Polish Fan
tasy.
Johan Bojer, the Norwegian novel
ist, author of “The Last of the
Vikings," “The Great Hunger,” and
othet Important works, which in Eng
lish translations have .been much read
in America, has comu to this country,
planning, it is said, to gather mate
rial for a new novel, with the lives of
Scandinavfan-Amerlcans as its theme.
He will also give lectures to former
Scandinavians, who have emigrated to
the United States and are now resi
dents of Wisconsin and North Dakota.
Some .of the glorious color of the
American southwest, its vast skies and
Inspiring distances, have been trans
ported to New York by a group, of
artists calling themselves tha New
Mexico painters, who are exhibiting
during October at the Montross Gal
leries on Fifth avenue.
The desert, tha Grand Canyon, and
tha North American Indian appear in
most of the paintings, etchings, bnd
wood block color prists comprising the
exhibition. The artists represented are
Frank G. Applegate, Joseph G. Bakos,
Gustaye Bautpann, Ernest L.' Blum
schein, William P. Henderson, .Victor

"A Lost Lady,” Willa Cather’s latest
novel, is reminiscent of the days of the
railroad aristocracy in the west, when,
as the author puts it, “everyone con
nected with the road, .even the large
grain and cattle shippers had annual
passes. They and their families rode
around over the road a great deal.." A
Nebraska town is the scene of the
story, and an elusive personality is its
theme. ,
Percy Grainger, the pianlst-conjposer
from Australia, has recently become a

Most self rising'flours\are not
successful because they do not
and cannot raise the bakings to
the proper lightness. This
means a certain loss of nutri
tion because they are heavy
and hard to digest -
Every time you edt food that
does not properly digest you
do not get the full nutritional
value -r you are over-taxing
your stomach., Nourishing and
perfect bakings are what good
health demands. The one sure
way is—use pure flour and
good baking powder.
If you want to find what thou
sands of housewives have
learned—make some biscuits

make some with good plain

One trial will satisfy you. Your
health demands that you make
the experiment.
. Those who know—millions of

Play safe—use Calumet and
