 New York Oct, 25--R. c. Dun and Company's Weekly Review of Trade, tomorrow will say:
 Trade reports are irregular. the events of the week in the financiai section tending to cause conservatfann, but current retail trade Is active the nation and the leading Industries maintain active machinery at most plants. An encouraging sign is the absence of cancellations. Trans porters are unable to handle promptly all the frieght offered and railway earnings in October thus far surpass last years by 6.S per cent
 It is encouraging to note In dis- patches from Pfttsburg and other cen- ters of iron and steel that no cancella- tiens have been received and that specifications on old contracts maintain activity at most mills and furnaces. New business is light as might be ex- pected, but plants are fairly well oc- cupied except tin plate mills. which have shut down about fifty per cent. The only important decline of the week occurred in light rails-
 Cotton mills have orders so far ahead that current events produce little ef- feet, but there is an evident fndis- position by buyers to operate Tor the future. Standard cottons are stili sold at full figures and for late delivery not considered influential although that factor might be felt were 1t not for the more potent financial situation.

ERw IDEALS FoR WOMEN.
Domestic Science IA Important study at

AxeRRus
 Gainesville. Ga. Oct. Especial. J--- The visit of faculty and students of Fireman to the State Fafr for the pur- pose of making an exhibit of the woyK of the department of Domestic Sci- ence or Household Economies. empha- sizes the fact that revolution is talk ing place in the courses Of study in col- leges for women.
 One of the most popular courses at Brenau Is that which has domestic sel- ence as it's chief object. This would have been tmposs!kI4A ten years ago. Now almost one entire floor of the Bailey building Is given up to 'ttis work.
 Tn the modern presentation of this subject emphasis Is placed upon the science. The art of cooking Is second ary in importance to the science in eol- leges IL Is claimed that the art has already reached its highest develop naent. but that the science is just in It's infancy. The Significance of this statement Is in the fact that the cook, or at least the housewife. will com pound the food elements with reference to their relative food value and the ideal housewife will prepare menu for each individual according to his or her needs.
 The new course of study which has cooking as it's majoF subject. also5 re. quiries a considerable amount of Eng fish, history. philosophy, natural sci. ence and modern languages. and ad- mits music, art and oratory as electives There will be a number of graduates in this course next year and each grad uate will be required to give a public demonstration of the art of cooking and a scientific exposition of the prin4 cioles involved.
