PLAN OF JUNIOR MEMBER.
SHIP RED CROSS.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 2. Is
Henry p. Davidson. Chairman
Of the Red Cross War Council
announces the launching of a Jun
ior Red Cross open to all school
children in the country. The new
organization hopes to become 8
channel for patriotic service and
interest to the 22,O0O,O0O boys
and girls of school age in the Uni
ted States.
Membership in the Junior Rel
Cross is to be by schools. When.
ever there has been placed in the
local school fund an amount equal
to 25c for every pupil, the school
becomes school auxiliary of the
Red Cross, and is entitled to dis
play a special Red Cross banner.
At the same time every pupil be
comes a Junior Mmber, and is en-
titled to wear the membership
button.
The school fund can be raised
by the school, or collected by SUD-
scription. In some states it will
be raised by cities to cover all
schools in the city districts. In
other states the campaign will be
for statewide fund and the en-
rollment Of all the pupils in the
state. In every case, however.
the schools are to be associated
with the local chapters Of the Red
Cross through teachers CON-
mittee of the chapter.
The school fund will be used
for the purchase of materials
which the children will make up
into Red Cross supplies, and for
other uses in, which the children
will have a personal share. No
part of it is to go for chapter or
expenses.
Membership in the Junior Red
Cross will be developed by states.
Division managers will appoint
membership committees and school
activities committees for each
state. The membership commit
tee stimulates interest and raises
funds for the School Supply Fund.
It will be composed of some Of
The most influential people de-
voted to educational affairs.
The school activities committee
will be made up of vocational
,eachers and other school officials.
Under its direction patterns Of
articles to be made. and other in
for use in the voca-
ional classrooms, will be pre-
Jared and sent to all the schools.
The plan has been developed by
resident Mac Cracker of Vassar,
n consultation with school an
horities and the National Red
ross. DR.. MacCracken said to.

Youth Kills Sweetheart
 and Himself in Room of
 University DOrmitOry

Athens, Ga, January 30.-While three students were asleep in their dormitory room at the University of Georgia early this morning, Jamie Johnson, boy friend. and his 1S-year-old sweetheart, Belle Hill.s whom they had taken in for the night, were shot to death in the same room. Johnson left note for his mother saying he was disgusted with life and had decided to end it all. The coro- ner rendered a verdict of murder and suicide.
 Johnson lived at Jefferson, about 10 miles from Athens, and the girl lived in the same county. They arrived here last night and registered at hotel as man and wife. Later they were joined by Tom Holiday, one of the students The actions of the party aroused the suspicious of the clerk, who asked them to leave. Holiday took Johnson and the girl to the room which he shares with Howard Dadisman and A. W. Prem dergrass.
 The three students testified today be- fore the coroner's jury that the couple told them they were on their way to Atlanta to be married. and wanted a place to spend a few hours until train time. They swore they were asleep when the shots were fired. They awoke just in time to see Johnson fall dead across the body of the girl

BULLISH SPOTS
 ST|FFEN COTTON
Southwest Reports Con- tinued Drouth With No
 Relief in Sight

New York. January S0.-The cotton market was less active today and fluc- tuations were irregular. but the tone was steadier in sympathy with bullish southern spot advances and the ap- pearance of a moderate demand from trade sources on the setbacks. After selling up to 30.5Sc, March contracts broke to So23c under a renewal of liquidation. but closed at S0.SOc with the general list closing very steady, net F points higher to 2 points lower.
 The market opened steady at ali advance of l to g points and after some little irregularity advanced on buying by spot house brokers and covering. Near months were relative ly firm on reports that a consider able amount of cotton was soon to be shipped out of the local certificated stock and there were also reports around the ring that spinners still had considerable cotton on which they had not yet fixed prices. ~March led the advance, selling 30 points above last nights closing figures, while May touched 30.a2c and July 29.62c, or about 20 to 29 points net higher.
 Demand failed to broaden on the advanve, owing to reports that the fuel shortage is becoming still more serious in New England, predictions of continued light exports, or further talk of government price fixing, and the market met increased offerings around the 3O-cent level for May Re- actions followed to the lowest prices of the day with May touching 29.6Sc and July 29.29c in the late trading of about to 8 points net lower. There was another spurt of covering and trade buying in the last few minutes, with the close showing rallies of sew eral points from the lowest. No rain was reported in the southwest and the forecast for continued dry wealth CT probably helped the early advance, but brokers generally attributed the rally from yesterdays low level to the firmness of the spot situation and tine reports of trade buying to price their cotton in the futures market.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, January 30.-Although the local cotton market today felt periods Of depression, it was very steady, and stood at a net advance the better part of the session a moderate demand be- ing met by only scanty offerings. High est levels were reached following reports of strikes in Germany, but in the morn ing session buying appeared to be mostly in sympathy with the advance in New York. Last prices showed net gains of 6 to 1o points.
 On the first call. the market improved 9 to 1S points. but from this prices drop ped to a level to points under yes terdav's close. On the decline a new demand came in and for a considerable period the tendency was upward, highest quotations being reached in the early afternoon when the rise amounted to "A to 29 points.
 The loss of s7 points in spot quotations. coupled with offerings which were set down to the account of western traders, caused reaction from the advance late in the day, which carried the market practically to the lowest levels, but steadiness against asserted itself just on the close with the result that the last transactions were at higher range than yesterdays final prices.

OF T|E-UP
 HARDENED GRAIN
Hog Arrivals Fall Off, Send ing Provisions Up From
 20 to 45 Cents

Chicago. January 30.-Prospects of 2 new tie-up of the raiiroads west or Chicago hardened the corn market to- day after a temporary sag, due to bet ter weather here than had been looked for. Prices closed firm the same as yesterdays finish to bQAc higher. with March $1.27 and May s1.25ss. Oats gained $ Q1bc, and provisions 20@ 45c.
 At first, sunny skies and the com paratively mild temperature in Chicago gave a slight advantage to the bears In corn Forecasts soon appeared which made more snow and cold virtual cer- tainty. Besides complaints of car scarcity continued. Nevertheless, the market remained easy until detailed reports began to be circulated telling of severe low temperature in Iowa and of snow there drifting badly. Then the prospect that eastward progress of the storm would bring about more or less complete traffic blockades all the way to this city turned prices in favor of the bulls
 Shortage in immediate supplies, to- gether with chances of further tight ening of conditions had much to do with hoisting the value of oats. There was some seaboard inquiry.
 A big falling off in hog arrivals lifted provisions. In addition it was said there had been liberal buying for export.

The market opened at a decline of 5 to 10 points. with active months selling about 13 to IA points net lower during the middle of the day or at S.6Sc for May, and 9.11c for September. This made a de- cline of about S9 to 40 points from the recent high level, which seemed to bring in a little covering or fresh buying. caus- ing rallies of or 10 points from the lowest. The close showed a net loss of 1 to points: January. $500; March, s.4S; May, S.7Sc; July, S.9Sc; September, 920c; October. 9.26c; December 9.4Sc.

SHIT TING MARKET
 IN TIE STOCK LIST
Gains Were Variable at the Close of Session of Wall
 Street Traders

New York, January 30-Technieal con- ditions governed today's stock market Irregular price changes being largely traeeable to the constant shifting of traders commitments. Overnight devel- opments exerted little influence, the out come of the United States Steel meeting evidently having been discounted.
 Rails were dull and uncertain of trend ana news regarding transportation condi- ditions was again mixed Traffic is nov ing more easily at eastern points, but elsewhere the problem seems to have yielded none of it's serious aspects.
 Traders were interested in reports that the admiistrat ton would oppose the proposed amenGment to the Senate bill to take the railroads out of federal con trol year after the war. A loan oy bankers to the Baltimore and Ohio road pointed to the pressing needs of the railroads pending enactment of legisia- tton by Congress
 Announcement of an agreement be- tween American and British marine in- terests strengthened the shipping group and metals were responsive to an ln- crease of private consumption.
 Pools relieved the rnonotony of the dull afternoon by fresh activity in va riety of specialties, including fertilizers and allied issues. High priced shares of the class represented by General Motors and Industrial Alcohol derived their stimulus from similar sources.
 Variable gains ruled at the close, United States Steel and a few other leaders rallying fractionally from their setback of the intermediate period.
 Bonds were irregular. a few specula- tive industrials advancing 1 to 21a points. All the liberty issues recorded new min imums, the 31ac declining to 9730 first As to 9650, and second As to 95.96. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, January 30-(Special)-A very natural reaction from the decline of last week brought May again to 30 cents, at which point some of the sell CTS of yesterday bought. thep a gradual recession followed, with the market clos ing practically unchanged from the open ing Such record means that those who were so positive of higher prices at the beginning of the month have become more or less indifferent under the falling off in the consumption. due to heatless days They also feel the loss in the buving power, as reported In the trade Journals, at the extreme high prices quoted for textile goods. Naturally, any cessation in the production tends to in crease the price. On the whole, the mar ket lacks new buyers who were not pre- vious short sellers.--Hubbard Bros. & Co,

Over w. E. Campbelrs Wire

New Orleans, anuary 30.-Surprising strength featured the cotton market to- day in the face of weather conditions, which made for increased anxiety regard ing the freight situation, and reports that the freight embargo against cotton was spreading over a wide territory. At no time was there good supply of contracts to work on and buyers who were impressed with the upward ten- dency of New York caused a quick rise Nervousness among shorts made the mar get all the more susceptible to buying. On top of everything was the report of widespread strikes in Germany, carried by reliable news agencies, and making 1t apparent that the first organized re- volt against the existing state of things in that country was under way.
 Around the first call prices were to 13 points up. Enough selling developed immediately to put the trading months 2 to points under the close of yesterday From this level there was an advance which was gradually widened until in the early afternoon the market stood 23 to 29 points over yesterdays final prices. While bullish sentiment has been tem- pered by the freight and fuel situation, it is apparent that the fundamental in- fluences of the early part of the season are still having their effect. Supplies are small and wants, though curtailed temporarily. will be large in the long run. The market advances on the least encouragement. and, while cautious att Atude is advisable. good breaks con- tinue to invite purchases.-Shepard & Gluck.
