WOMAN MONEY WIZARD MAY FAY Mme. Marthe Hanau, the wizard of flanance in Paris who was declared Insolvent two years ago, has started her efforts to repay her 5200 creditors the 150,000,000 francs due them.

Hanau founded the Gazette due Franc, a combined fi; nancial newspaper and banking undertaking.

When it failed she was Imprisoned. Her appeals for time to investigate the affairs of the Gazette were granted, and her re port has Just been made. All but five of her creditors accepted her proposals, and the president of the tribunal officially registered' the de clsion. GETTING READY TOR THE EASTER BRIDE Many invitations are out for Easter weddings, and that means there will be many a diligent hunt for appropriate gifts to give these brides. Mast of these brides have been filling hope chests and are, therefore pretty well prepared to begin housekeeping.

There are, however, many, many little not really and vitally essential to early days of housekeeping, but it is the little things that help to make the new home cosy and homey. It is not very difficult to ascertain Just what would be an acceptable gift, for we have but to ask a near friend or relative. The custom of starting silver and china sets, giving the name of the shop at which they may and the ipleoes not yet purchased, a splendid idea. This obviates the necessity for avoid, too many duplicates, and at the same time assures the recipient a gift that will fit into her possessions and be a Joy forever. For the benefit of those who do not have access to the name and number of patterns, and who must make a selection quite different, let us start on a tour of the shops and see what we can find something not too expensive, but useful and worthwhile.

Ornaments for the living room are always acceptable to a bride, for the room, mantel, seem so hare without the bric-a-brac which fit in so well to living roan environment. Vases, of odd' design, shape and coloring come before us first. Here is one of red lacquer with gold design in Chinese motif is good looking and would fit in with black lacquer desk and chair. And the rose jars, which may be used without the covers for holding flowers. Here is one of exquisite old porcelain, green, rose or cream color, with teakwood stand and top.

Another near it. a Ming, beautiful in coloring and design, and would be a fitting accompaniment to the Ming incense burner and Jade handled paper knife. Things oriental have a fascination all their ownl Belgian brass in fascinating new types of accessories shows a beau tiful candelabrum, and there is i quaint brass beside It. Then there is a desk set, in lovely, graceful design, most charming to behold. As we turn about, our eye catches a quaint old Jug, which we are assured was hand-made by the peasants of Europe.

It is so homely, it is beautiful! If one's fancy runs toward odd bottles, there is a hand' etched beauty, in deep wine, which could be used for ornament only or put to very good use. Fashion states definitely that sets of cups and saucers are very smart when made up of several patterns and shapes. Arent you glad that fashions are Just so, for there are so many lovely cups and saucers from every country, nearly, in the world, from which to We can select the tiny, handless ones, for serving Japanese tea, the delicate, dainty ones for formal teas, the large woes for the man who likes coffee, and plenty of it, those of glass in any color we may choose. Linens are always acceptable, and especially the bridge sets, now so much in -vogue for serving lunch-emu and refreshments at card tables. Or it may be that plain white luncheon sets with scalloped border, all in white, would be more acceptable.

These are always good, for they may be. used with cloth, doilies or luncheon cloths, as needs arise. A Chinese pewter teapot in one of those delightful shapes which make you sure they must have been designed by some celestial poet-humor 1st craftsman, has white Jade spout, handle and top, and etched on the sides are bamboo characters and the artist's name. A rare gift for one who appreciates such gems. A Sardinian tapestry, primitive in its designs and colors, and hand woven in wool cm a coarse canvas back, is a beautiful thing and different from the usual sort of wall hanging or runner.

A decorative bit of color that will brighten a somber room, or a matchless gift for the owner of a Spanish or Italian house. We find also a very Interesting, antique, hand-wrought iron lantern whose beauty would be appreciated by an artistic bride. It may be used effectively at the doorway leading into the patio, if your bride's house is Spanish, and it would be equally charming In the hall. Candlesticks are as popular as ever they were, and since there is type and design to please the most particular bride, it should not be difficult to make a wise selection. The low candleholders are still being used, but as was predicted when they came into favor they hold only an even place with the regulation height candlestick.

When buying anything to last, it is always wise to buy conservative styles and designs, for they will always be good, even though some new fad comes in in the meantime, you may be sure the conservative types will remain good always. a r. I 1 A Cordial Invitation 1 Awaits You From The CHEAP WHEAT PROSPECT New Crop, 1930 Surplus Hint at Lowest Prices In 35 Years By OWEN SCOTT (Special to The Sm CHICAGO, March 25 (CPA) Harvest' time is barely two months away for. this countrys biggest po- lltical crop wheat with developments now suggesting that during 1931 it will lose non of a well established reputation for trouble-making. When on May 31 the federal farm board steps aside to let.

the grain market take its normal course, there will end one phase of a vast economic experiment forced by the politics of wheat. It will leave the government holding approximately 200.000.000 bushels of this grain purchased at a cost of at least above the present market. Outlook Not Encouraging After that, unless drouth, or Insets or disease cuts deeply into production of this country, Canada, Europe or Russia, causing prices to advance sharply, embattled farmers already vocal, indicate that they will be oh the warpath again. Rumbling heard here from the country suggests that rural folk are thinking again of political organization such! as that which gave the northwest! the non-partisan league 10 years ago. Briefly, the situation which confronts the wheat belt today causing new political activity it this: Nearly 38,000,000 acres of winter wheat, an only slightly smaller acreage than a year ago, is thriving except in a portion of the Ohio valley.

With normal conditions for two months more, 600,000,000 bushels of new crop grain will start to market. Up in the northwest, where farmers are warned to cut acreage sharply, they have expressed an intention to plant over 20,000,000 acres of spring wheat. In August and September, with normal conditions until then, this would mean 250.000.000 more bushels of wheat ready for market. Huge Carryover put, on July 1 when the new crop season officially opens, the department of agriculture estimates that approximately 300,000,000 bushels of the 1930 crop still will be on hand. A normal carryover would be around 200.000.000 bushels.

This country consumes about bushels of wheat each year. It! produces about 850,000,000 bushels under normal circumstances. That ynfnn a surplus of 250,000,000 bushels, which must disposed of outside of the country. lit is this surplus wheat around which all of the war wages and all of the plans for farm relief revolve. To dispose of it, the American farmer must offer a price which will compete with the price offered by- the Russian farmer, the Canadian, Australian and Argentinan firmer.

How to do that and at the lime time keep prices higher in the Ignited States is the crux of the -problem, i Huge Surplus In Sight i So, with a tremendous surplus in sight, unless conditions change before the new crop goes to market, the winter wheat fanner when he sn will receive a return smaller tin any paid him in 35 years. On tjie Chicago board of trade, where art open market is maintained for dealing in contracts for future delivery, Winter wheat is selling now fbr about 59 cents a bushel. Owing to marketing costs, the farmer usually receives about 10 cents less than this. i The law of supply and demand, operating through the machinery of the market exchanges, and uninfluenced by manipulation of the farm board, today suggests that the American farmer when he markets this years crop will receive 50 cents a bushel or under. J.

C. Mohler, secretary of the y-yntfa state board of agriculture, and a student of wheat production costs, advises that only on the cheapest land with the most extensive use of power machinery for plowing, discing, planting and harvesting, can wheat be produced at a profit for 50 cents a bushel. The bureau of agricultural economics of the federal department of agriculture has made studies which cated that it cost over $1 a bushel to- produce wheat on the average American farm.
