Americus warehousemen and hum
dreds of customers who have been
holding their cotton in hopes of ar
advance in prices, reioiced yesterday
and made merry at the course of the
market, which has been doing a series
of aeroplane stunts during the past
two days.
The cotton bulls" are again in the

towards the tall timber.
The market secured an advance of
43 points on Friday alone, and to this
big gain another advance of 20 points
vas added yesterday, net gain of
63 points, or more than three dollars
bale, in two days.
Something in this, at least, to be
very thankful for.
az ihe1i hSt at IuO ClOSC yesterday
had advanced 105 points for the low
level to which it fell two weeks ago,
gain of S. per bale, while it is now
within fifty points of the highest
notch of the season. 1t is hoped that
this additional fifty points may be
gained within few days, which would
put spot cotton well above twelve
cents for the holidays

Dr. Cecile l.. Griel, of the Ancona
survivors, was returning to New York
from special hospital work, to which
she was called at Bari, Italy, by the
Russian Red Cross. She sailed from
America last August on the Adriatic.
Il would not go there merely TO
bind up wounds" she said. There
is too much misery here at home that
needs an abundant supply of working
physicians. 1 am going for the or
ganizing part of the work"
At ten, DIR. Griel was a cash girl
in store at Grand and Allen streets,
New York city. She married at six
teen, and after having three child
ren found herself called upon TO
support them. She said once that it
took her fourteen years to save the
$500 with which, after reaching the
age of thirty, she went through medi-
cal school. She later went to Italy
and was attached to the Children s
hospital in Florence and the Marine
