Cotton bears got very unpleasant
surprise yesterday when the market ran
UP sharply on the Giles report, which
showed a deterioration during tho first
half OF June OF 2.2 points. Tho report
made tho condition 1858. against 77.5
the latter part OF May. Inasmuch as
every one has been expecting an improve
ment as a result OF the favorable weather
IN Texas and the beneficial showers In
the Eastern belt, the figures proved some
thing OF "a shock.
It is only fair to state. however. that
the report was compiled from returns
mailed before the full benefit OF the re-
cent good weather materialzed The ef-
fects OF the clear weather in Texas and
the good showers in the Eastern belt were
not obtained the last two or three days.
Liverpool ran up quite sharply on the
figures, and In fact seemed to have paid
more attention to the report than local
traders. The advance was accompanied
by some irregularity, as there is a growing
bearish sentiment on the exchange. with
the result that short Interest Is accumu-
lating
A good many experienced. traders doubt
the wisdom Of selling after a break OF 80
points on good weather in June. AS a
matter OF fact the records go to show that
cotton bought in June on any depression
caused by the favorable weather in that
month usually brings a profit before the
end OF the summer. In fact the brilliant
outlook in this month Is no guide either to
the size of the crop or to the course OF

GRABS RIFLE BALL
French Aviator Thinks 1t Is a
Strange Insect.
When High in the Air He Stretches
Out His Hand and Grasps What
to His Amusement Proves
to Be Bullet.

London.-A French aviator is re.
ported to have brought from the skies
a German rife bullet which he had
caught in his hand. The story goes
that he was flying at a height of about
seven thousand feet when he sudden
ly became aware of a small black OBJ
ject close to his head. He thought it
was an insect of some kind, and was
sufficient of an entomologist to realize
that a flying insect at such an alti-
tude was curiosity. So he stretched
out his hand and grasped what to his
amazement proved to be a bullet
He explained afterward that it was
evidently a rifle bullet that had been
fired almost vertically and had
reached it's utmost elevation He
arrived on his aeroplane just at the
moment when the bullet slowly turned
over and was about to fall again.
Looking for bullets in the air is a
new interest, and calculations based
on the known muzzle velocity OF the
rifles are made as to the most favor
able attitudes. A wag suggests "catch
er the war.
The kite balloons employed by
the Germans promptly became Ger
man sausages,' in the language Of
Tommy Atkins. They are not first-Tate
craft for observation, being stationary.
but they are not SO easy to bring down
as aeroplanes. THE sausage drive
therefore, provides good sport for
bomb choppers.
A story is told in the Aeroplane of
an officer of high rank who had never
before been up in an aeroplane, and
who was taken up as an observer by
an English pilot Coming into the
fire zone the aeroplane was hit several
times and one of the contact cables
was cut through, rendering the task
of keeping the machine in hand al
most impossible. The pilot very skill
fully, however, managed to make
safe descent and to land within his
own lines.
Then his passenger, who had not in
the least understood what had hap
pened, roundly abused him for his
cowardice When the situation was
explained, and he realized that he
had had a narrow escape with his
life, he was duly apologize and CRATE
full.
Some curious souvenirs are in pos
session of members of the corps. There
are, for example, altimeters, speed in
dicators and revolution indicators
pierced and smashed by bullets.

Odd Baby Tender.

The baby tender" invented and
used to this day in the Island of
Marken in the Zuyder Zee is the sub
stitute for the cradle which resists
the advance of baby carriages and
modern high chairs. In Marker, ba-
bies Of both sexes are dressed exactly
alike, the accepted fashion having
been unchanged for three centuries.
AT so early an age is the infant in
cased in the stays of this costume that
there is no use for cradle for babies
in Marker. The child is supported
and kept out from under foot in a
wooden contrivance serving both az a
chair and cradle, which is mounted on
small wheels so that it may be readily
moved about. A shelf in front serves
as a rest or receptacle for food or
playthings.

Berlin.-A concert in the firing line
Becker with one of the German ar
mics in France:
After long march we went into
camp at C. and promised ourselves
a good nights rest. At 2:30 we were
suddenly and rudely walked up; our
0utposts had come into touch with
strong French forces and the whole
camp suddenly became alive. A sharp
fight was soon in progress. The
French artillery was firing incessant-
~ from a covered position. Their
shells came with a sharp whiz, to ex-
PIode with a mighty crash. Their in
fantry also kept up a hot fire. / went
forward with my musicians in COW
cred position and met Colonel Won

nay part to this Internal concert.
81 crawled forward, therefore, with
nay men to the most advanced trench,
asked them to get ost their instru-
ments, and we played to the great
amusement of the troops the beautiful
air, I Feel So Fine in the Evening
After some time the moon came out
from behind a thick bank of clouds
and lit up the battlefield with its burst
ing shells, and we gave it welcome
with the melody, Good Moon, You
Move So Quietly and the soldiers
Joined in with spirit
Somewhat later the French at
tempted a forward movement, and we
promptly received them with Dolly,
You Are the Light of my Eyes The
French did not seem to trust this as
surance, however, for they hastily
withdrew, to the resounding laughter
of our men, who did splendid shoot
ing. In order to make it clear to the
French just whom they had in their
front, l next struck up the fierce Rad
etzh march, and just as the rising sun
was colOring the east blood-red,
closed the concert with the hopeful
choral, Fair Beams the Morning Star
Many of the soldiers, holding their
rifles in firing position, Joined in lus-

Your Pace,

Have you ever tried to pace off an
eighth of a mile, or any other dis
lance? If you pace an eighth of a
mile you will probably find that it will
take you considerably more than two
hundred and twenty yards. The trained
walker learns to gauge his pace &C
curately. Do you know how long
your normal pace is? The way to find
out how long it ought to be is to
drop a string from your eyebrows to
the floor. One-half of that distance
is the normal pace. British soldiers
are trained to step 311a inches, the
Germans one-half inch less, French
and Austrian infantrymen step 80
inches, and Russians 271a-The
American Boy.

TRAGEDY OF LAWS DELAY
Girl Injured in Street Car Accident
Unable to Collect Damages Owing
to Company's Bankruptcy.

New York.-Harriett Nugent, the
young girl who has just been dis
charged from the Kings county hos
pital to which place she was taken
when found wandering in pitiable
condition, due to lack of nourishment,
on a Brooklyn street, is the principal
figure in one of the most interesting
phases of the laws delay ever written
of. When three years old Harriet
was run over by a Madison street car
and badly crippled. Benjamin OPP
penheim, prominent young attorney,
took her case to court and received a
verdict Of $4,000 against the company.
The Metropolitan Street Railroad COM
pany refused to pay this claim and
managed by devious ways to have Ben
jamin Oppenheim disbarred. One of
the employees of the company was
told to burn certain vouchers he had
IN his possession, but believing they
would some day be of value to him
did not do so. In 1915 this mans land
lady discovered among the papers the
data which proved that Oppenheim
was wrongfully disbarred. Her evil
dence restored him to the bar. The
verdict received by him IL years ago
has now. with interest, reached the
sum of $4,000, but stih the girl can
not. because of the bankruptcy of the
street railway company, collect the
amount of her judgment.

Physiological Facts.

Several recently discovered facts
about the body's growth are surpris-
ing. One is that the height increases
more during the warm months, while
the reverse is the case with the
weight. Another is that women con-
tinue to grow tall long after men have
stopped. A mans height rarely in
creases after he is twenty-five years
old, but a woman, when she becomes
a mother or under other conditions,
may add as much as an inch to her
stature up to the age of thirty or even
beyond.

to the animals age.

ooh, don't let that little fact worry

replaced by the war hospital
change takes place automatically as
soon as the army proceeds, for the
field hospital follows the troops. The
patients remain where they are, while
the personnel and material about them
are changing from the wandering field
hospital to the stationary war hos
pital. From there the wounded event
ually are sent back into Germany for
complete recovery in one of the splen-
didly appointed city Of military hos
pitfalls.
The city hospital of Frankfort-on-
the-Main, for instance, having pre-
pared 5000 beds, had 5000 patients by
the beginning Of September. In most
cases the soldiers were but slightly
injured, suffering from wounds in the
arms or legs. They were accolnmo-
dated in large, light, airy, f1ower-be-
decked rooms and attended by female
nurses. On August 27 the German en-
press passed through Frankfort, and,
escorted by the physician in chief, Doc
tor Voss, stopped at each bed in turn.
The much-beloved, white-haired first
lady of the land, who herself has
given six sons to the army, did not
have to simulate sympathy. She talked
with each man in her gentle, sincere,
sympathetic way and from the huge
bunch she carried left roses in many
hand.
Many reports from Germany tell of
the active part Americans there take
In the Red Cross work. In Munich the
American women of that city have
rented large hall in the Hotel Bay
FISCHER Hof, and there meet daily to
do their part with knitting needles and
sewing machines. Other Americans
have donated sums for the Red Cross,
and many individually assist in en-
thusiastic work
On the other hand, just as strangers
help in the great work, SO do strangers
benefit by tin this case the wound
ed among the prisoners from Belgium,
France, England and Russia. They
are treated with such efficacy and hui
maneness that some French prisoners
in Stuttgart, in token Of their graft
tude, made a large donation to the
German Red Cross. A curious account
is published by the Vossiche Zeitung,
Berlin, On September 4. 1t relates to
the strange behavior of the wounded
Russian prisoners. When the ply
sicians approach them with scissors
to cut open the uniform about wound
or try to make an incision or apply a
bandage, the Russians resist to the
utmost of their forces. Not that they
are faint hearted, afraid of the opera
tion-but they expect to be mutilated,
blinded, murdered. A Russian colonel
even refused all nourishment Sc hours
for fear of being poisoned. Finally
one of his fellow prisoners, who hap
pened to be a man of education and
intelligence, succeeded in convincing
him of his folly" The paper adds,
whimsically: What lies these poor
fools must have been told about US,
to take us for such cannibals!"
No doubt, in way, their terror OF
the Germans will explain many of the
Russian rocities"-because fear
and ignorance always beget cruelty
Truth alone can lead the way to
Utopia of brotherly and neighborly
love. In the meantime we must be
satisfied with the Red Cross.

Why Animals CHANCE Color.

AS has long been known, the chame-
leon and several other cold-blooded
creatures are able to change color at
will Science ascribes this ability to
minute cells situated in the cults and
called chromatophores. They are filed
with the pigments of the various col.
ors, and capable of contraction or en-

A large cavity in a tooth can be
deodorized by dipping a pellet Of
cotton, held by pliers, into water, then
taking up with it small quantity of
sodium perborate from a saucer OF
glass slab and quickly introducing
this dressing into the cavity. The per
borate iberates oxygen, which rem
