The Housewives Corner

The same, old common, homely,

l look around each morning; there
Upon the tables and the chairs,
Find cut paper, strings and nails;
Oh me, the same old, humdrum
cares,
While whittlings litter up the floors
And here's cap, and there S
some shoes
To put away. Does it seem strangs
That 1, sometimes, my temper
lose?
1 think how nice the house would
look,
And how much easier work would
be,
If l had nothing out of place,
And everything from dirt was
free;
No strings or toys to be picked up
No misplaced cap, no muddy shoe
Then life would be a happy dream,
And l would never have the blues
But when the shades of n light
are drawn,
My days work done, L sit me
down
To read or write, tbs then I'm tired
'Tis then | try to think and frown
Because of Grandpa and the boy,
Who laugh and chatter, blithe
and gay,
Dear me. l wonder who could think
They drive my every thought
away.
But when l think of how I'd feel,
If nevermore should come my boy
If he should go far, far from me,
Would not my pleasure, all my
joy
In life go too? And then 1 know
That 1 had rather keep my boy,
With all his litter in the house,
Than all my happiness destroy.
For, oh, how desolate the house
Would seem with him afar away.
How quiet always would be;
How l could think by night and
day.
No, no, l would not have it so.

COTTON MARKET A
WEATHER AFFAIR
Trade Will Watch Weather
Map Closely-May Be

New Orleans, March 23.-This week
the cotton market promises to be more
of a weather affair than ever. The
spring season actually commenced last
Friday, according to the calendar, and
with 1t crop work becomes general over
the south. The trade will watch the
weather map closely and daily swings
of the market will. in large measure,
be influenced by what is found through.
What is wanted now is warm and dry
weather couple of weeks of such
conditions would allow a vast amount
of work to be done preparatory TO
planting and would also allow a greaI
Warm and dry weather would stimulate
short selling and cause liquidation of
the long interest. Any long continued
period of favorable weather woul
probably lead to a material fall in
prices.
on the other hand cold and wet
weather would lead to alarm among
the shorts and would probably result
in heavy long selling. What The short
side most fears is another cold snap,
such as visited the cotton region this
last week. Cold spells are liable even
well into April and until the danger Of
them is past the market will get very
nervous every time an area of high
pressure makes its appearance on the
weather map 1t has been mild win
ter which leads many planters to look
for a late spring, with belated frost.
More frost this week would cause much
anxiety concerning the start of the
crop.

EASTER SERVICES
/. LARGELY ATTENDED
Elaborate Ceremonial and
Fine Music at st. Paul's
Church

st. Paul's church was crowded yester-
day at all the masses The Rev. Father
Coyle says that at the $50 and 7:So masses
the number of the faithful receiving holy
ccpmunion was exceptionally large-fully
1000 the pastor estimated
At 1890 O'clock the church was filled to
oyerfiowing. There was a solemn hign
mass with the Rev. Father Early as cele-
brant the Rev. Father Benedict, Q. S.
B., as deacon, the Rev. Father Coyle as
sub-deacon and the Rev. Father Carroll
as master of ceremonies. The three Off
GERS of the mass wore cloth Of gold
vestments and the servers wore white
soutanes with red silk capes. red sashes
and red cuffs, heightening the picturesque
effect of the scene within the chancel or
sanctuary.
The mass was followed by the benedic-
ton of the Blessed Sacrament. Father
Benedict preached the sermon. He chose
for his text these words, from the gospel
Of the day: HE is risen; He is not here"
The reverend father in support of the
doctrine of the resurrection of the body
stressed the emphatic words of st. Paul
in the fifteenth chapter of First Corin-
thiens-if Christ be not risen, then Is
our preaching vain, your faith also is
vain" Members of the congregation
spoke of the sermon as one of exceptional
power.
The music consisted of Gounod's ''St
Cecilia" mass, and Gounod's Ave Maria =
for the offertory. The mass was sung by
a chorus of 80 voices with Mrs. c. J.
SEVERN as solo soprano. The choir was
supported by an orchestra with Clarence
klenk and Oliver Chalifoux at the first
violin desk. The older members of st.
Paups congregation spoke of the music
as the best that had ever been heard in
that church. In former years when this
celebrated mass was sung the oboe was
missing, but yesterday the woodwinds,
including the oboe, were particularly ef-
fective. Mrs. Severin sang the Ave
Maria accompanied by Mrs. Memol on
the harp and w. II. Geigenberger on the
violoncello The choir was under the
baton of Philip Memoli and Mrs o. w.
Golgan was at the organ.

gales; it Will be preceded by rains and
much warmer at the beginning of the
week in the eastern and southern states
and be attended by SHOWS in the north
western states and along the northern
border. 1t will be followed by decided
ly colder Monday and Tuesday over
the middle west and the southwest and
Tuesday and Wednesday generally east

Another disturbance of widespread
influence will develop in the far west
about Wednesday or Thursday, move
eastward attended by rain in southern

DISCOVERY FOUND
TO CONFIRM THE
NEbULAR THEORY
Observations at Lowell Cor
rObOrates Solar Systems
Origin According to
LaPlace Ideas

Chicago, March 2s.-Important details
of recent discoveries concerning the neb-
,ilar hypothesis of solar systems by DR..
V. D. Slipher of the Lowell observatory,
Flagstaff Ariz., we're made known here
tonight on the arrival OF Prof Percival
Lowell. on his way TO New York. The
nebular theory of LaPlace, which in re-
cent years has been somewhat discred-
ited in certain astronomical quarters
received a strong corroboration, accord
ing to a statement issued from observa-
tions at Flagstaff, which show that nu-
merous nebulae shine by reflected light.
Observers at Lowell observatory have
established the fact that these nebulate
consist of clouds of star dust developed
in gas.
This is the first step in the evolu-
ton of a solar system" Professor Lo-
wells statement reads. The statement
follows:
ut has been discovered at the Lo-
we'll observatory by DIR. V. D. Sipher,
through spectroscopic observations that
the nebular in the pleiades Is illumi-
mated by reflected light of the neigh
boring stars and that this nebula is
In reality a cloud of finely divided mat
ter Such as the lnNeStlSdtlonS Ol Sll
Norman Lockyer and Sir George Darwin
led them to suppose might exist in
space.
''The proof of this consists in the
fact that with the slit of the spec
trograph so placed as to include the star
and the wisps of nebula in its neigh
borhood the resulting spectrogram
shows the spectrum of the star sur
rounded by faint continuous spec
trum where the nebulosity exists
crossed by the we'll known dark bands
of the ABSORPTION of hydrogen and 9TH
er gases. This indicates that the nebu-
IA consists of solid matter rejecting
the light 1t receives from the star and
surrounded by cool gases. Or. in other
words, that we see here cloud of me-
teoric matter enveloped in lighter par
ticles of gas.
This is the first step in the evolu-
ton of solar system.
THE Importance of this discovery
which is corroborated by other Flag
clusters will be seen when it is pointed
out that it bears directly upon the
nature of thousands of other nebulae
and suggests that many of them may
closely reproduce the hypothetical ne
bula assumed by La Place as the basis
for his nebular hypothesis.
'Spectroscopists of numeous observa-
tories are interested in the discovery
and are working on collateral investi-
cations"

tonight on his way to New York.

Greatest Count of Money

Washington, March 2S.-The greatest
count of money and securities in the
history of the world will begin at the
treasury department on April l. when
Dakota, takes the oath of office as
treasurer of the United States. succeed
ing Carmi A. Thompson.
To safeguard the nations wealth
Uncle Sam requires that the retiring
treasurer's record of the transfer of
funds be verified by count of the notes,
coin and securities in the treasury. Sec
retary McAdoo will appoint a COM
mittee to take charge of the vaults and
each vault and safe will be sealed on
April / in preparation for the count.
Only enough money to keep the wheels
Iof government revolving will be laid
aside for daily use while the counting
lis in progress.
May Take Months
1t generally requires from two to FIVE
months to make the count. govern
ment mathematician has figured out
that 1t would take one person 800 years
to verify Mr.. Thompsons records. Or

security is counted. Unless a shortage

each. usually is weighed, a test bag
being balanced against all others for

the counters and workmen to protect
them from interference
Losses seldom have been found in
these counts. When the treasurer was
changed some years ago $500 was stolen

gagged to lift the heavy bags of coin
substituted leaden disks for silver dol
lars in several bags. necessitatlng a

The laborer was convicted of the theft
and the retiring treasurer relieved by
Congress of the responsibility for the

When Carmi Thompson succeeded Lee
McClung as treasurer he received over
every cent of that amount, plus the
millions he has since received, minus
expenditures.
While the treasurer of the United
States handles no money personally, he
is the only bonded official in his office.
His S150,000 bond covers every subor-
dinate and for many years treasurers
have urged Congress to order the bond
