Inc cotton market opened steady at an
advance of 1a5 points on old crop, but
unchanged to points lower on the new,
near positions being influenced by bull
support. while the later months respond
ed to disappointing cables and favorable
weather reports.
Early fluctuations were somewhat ir-
regular, but active buying of the old crops
attributed to the dull leaders impaired
a very firm undertone to the market, with
July ana August selling up to a net gain
OF 12a1o points, while the new crop was
2a3 points net higher before the end of
the first hour.
The market was excited late in the fore
noon on covering by old crop shorts. The
advance caught stop-loss orders on the
short side which sent July cotton up to
loo, or 40 points net higher, while
August sold 2S points above the closing
nSures OF last week and the new crop
worked some JaS points higher than last
Saturday At this level, realizing checked

GIRLS USE TAMMANY WAYS?
Wire-Pulling Among Students to
Gain Coveted College Positions.

From the Delineator.
The present day college for girls is a
round Of pleasure and social eXcitements.
The girls think far more about fudge
than philosophy.
Endless wire pulling is done to gain
coveted positions. When it is a question
of making a society the methods en-
ployed and the excitement aroused remind
one of a political campaign and partic-
ularly of the methods of Tammany Hall.
Large sums of money are spent on lunch
cons, flowers and candy in order to focus
attention upon the giver and bring her
into prominence. The poor father must
often be aStoniShed at the amount of
money a daughter can spend, even in a
small town. Alas, alas. it is such man
euvers that for the average girl are the
momentous affairs of college life.
The best dressed girls are the ones who
are given all the SNOWY positions. such as
that of usher at junior prom, dramaticS
or commencement. The moral, therefore,
is, wear good clothes: get them somehow,
anyhoW-and il you haven't money
enough to make a display, you must at
least dress in the fashion to be tolerated.

Eating is another all-important enter

wise what constitution could survive the
afternoon tearooms? Between 4 and )
o'clock an exodus to these haunts begins
where. alas not only tea and toast but
ices and fudge cake are devoured with
passionate delights Nine o'clock i'm the

MORE TIME WANTED TO
COMPLY WITH THE LAW
Extension Desired by Railroads TO.
Installation Of Safety Appli-
ances Required.

All the railroads which are affected by
safety appliance laws passed by Con-
gress during the last year or so are pre-
pairing to ask for extensions of time in
which to comply with the new regula-
tons.
In response to a request of the inter-
state commerce commission, an informal
conference between the commissions in
spectors and the various railroad officials
who met here to ask for the extension Of
time was held today at the offices Of the
commission in regardSto the enforcement
of the safety appliance act.
From time to time the date Of the
absolute effectiveness of the law has
been postponed because of the diff
Guilty experienced by the railways in
equipping all of their cars with the
safety devices. Approximately 80 per
cent of the cars in service at present
are equipped with the necessary ap-
planes. The railroads expect in a
few months to have all of them equip
ped in accordance with the law.
