When You Need
Money
If you are the average man or woman, you

money quickly. One is to borrow it—if you
can; the other is to draw it from your ac
count. Even well to do people take no
chances on borrowing; they have their
checking account.

GRAIN MARKET COLLAPSED
CHICAGO, 111., May 12.—(IP)—
Wheat prices dropped five and a half
to eight and one half cents below
previous close after a government
report that the season’s yield of
winter what will be twenty million
bushels more than was expected.
There was sympathetic declines in
corn, oats and rye, but the latter
were on smaller scales.

great courage, a good sister praised

NOT EVERY METEOR
FEELS IT'S OBLIGED
TO FALL iN KANSAS
MCPHERSON, Kan., May 12.—(JP)
—Kansas has attained a reputation
beyond this planet as a landing field
for stray meteorites, but that reputa
tion would not stand the test of sci
ence, declared Prof. H. H. Nininger
of McPherson college, past presi
dent of the Kansas Academy of Sci
ence, in an address on the subject
of meteorites.
The belief that Kansas, center of
the United States, exerts some, unex
plained influence on the heavenly
wanderers, is without foundation in
fact, the professor asserted. A chart
of recorded meteorltic falls discloses
that one-fifth of the significant finds
in the world have been in Kansas,
and this has led, according to Pro
fessor Nininger, to the popular and
fallacious impression that this state
is peculiarly attractive to meteorites.
Two explanations he offered for
the apparent monopoly Kansas has
maintained: the character of the soil,
and the interest aroused in the sci
ence.
“The finding of stony meteorites,”
Professor Nininger pointed out,
“which have not been seen to fall,
may be considered among .the rarest
events in the annals of meteoritics.
In only two localities on this con
tinent have such finds occurred n
numbers—western Kansas and the
coastal plans of Texas. In both of
these regions the soil is comparative
ly free from terrestrial rocks.” This,
he said, facilitated distinguishing me
teoritic stones from the earth.
A series of witnessed falls of now
famous iron and stone meteorites also
had kept scientific circles, the public
and the press interested in Kansas
for long periods, he said, with which
they were weighing down fences and
roofs were in fact meteorites. Thus
were the discoveries multiplied.
Scientists have never satisfactorily
accounted for the concentration of
iron meteorites in large show*ers,
Professor Nininger told his audi
ence. One theory is that such show
ers are remnants of disintegrating
comets which have “sideswiped” the
earth. This, he said, may explain
the huge crater in northeast Arizona,
devoid of volcanic rock and sur
rounded by traces of iron meteoritic
falls, which geologists believe marks
the entrance into the earth of a
monster meteorite.

Doom, is given by a Dutch journal
ist, Barteld H. Ibelings, who recent
ly visited Doom castle.
Another pastime of the former em
peror is collecting photographs o!
the Prince of Wales, and he is also
fond of cutting and pasting up pic
tures of Queen Wilhelmina of Hol
land. He dresses most carefully,
says Mr. Ibelings, and his suits are
always of the latest cut. At the
court which William continues to
hold, the same stiff ceremonial as
obtained in Berlin day3 is observed.
One of the former emperor’s chief
ambitions is to become popular with
the people, and especially the young
folk of Doom. He therefore often
goes out personally to shop and ad
dresses the townfolk in their native
dialect. He even deigns now to tip
his hat pleasantly in greeting, where
as formerly he had everybody bow
ing to him.
