mittees can get any information deal ing with figures they desire, but it IS not unlikely they prefer to have their own ferrets working over the head of the executive branch of govern ment. Whether this would bring on d conflict between the legislative and executive branches is a question, and on the face of the matter it would look as though the communities were going the limit. The question might even be raised as to whether or not special authority should not be asked of Congress before such "super-ac- countants'' could be used.
 Salaries already paid to ferrets of the committee are far beyond the normal earning capacity of these in Yestigators. In one case a former em- ploye of one of the departments was employed to ''snOOp' around the de- partment to find out if there was anything wrong at a salary said to be approximately three times that which he had drawn in the depart ment. In another instance a Major in the army was offered $50 a day and expenses, it is reliably reported, to do sleuthing work for one of the com mittees.

,anks of the army of happiness. The

ranks of the army of happiness. The delightful comedy drama written bE J. Hartley Manners is of the highest order and imIbued with all the char acteristics which make a play dis tinctive. As the Polly Anna play, it may be referred to as the glad play, ' and it's object of spreading good cheer everywhere brings it on a par with the famous Polly Anna production. Of great interest to the audience last night was the new leading woman of the PoH players, Miss Mary Ann Dentler, who comes direct from New York where she has appeared with Laurette Taylor in the same play. If first impressions are lasting, then Miss Dentler has already endeared herself into the, hearts of theatre gOers. Her charming personality, de- lightful enunciation, and excellent characterization of Jenny" the hap py heroine of the play, has already shown her eapability as the leading member of the versatile company. Sharing honors with Miss Dentler in the play this week, is Miss Marjorie Mason, who is given a part where she can give full vent of her abality as a versatile artist. As the character of Sarah NIaxill Perkins, little Marjorie even greater enhances her popularity , among theatre patrons.
 Announcement was made last night of next weeks production, ''P1ea SC Get Married which enjoyed a long run on the stage and is now being presented on the screen. It is one of those bedroom farces replete with hu- nor, funny situations and bubbling over with laughs.

Disease Determined
 By Perspiration

Perspira ton from the human body is one of the best indications of health or disease. The experienced handler of living bodies-the athletic trainer, the physical culturist and particularly the masseur and expert Turkish bath proprietor is able to tell almost at the first glance what form of illness or disease is formed within the body. The bath rubber's hand is extremely sensitive when it comes in contact with flesh or water. Uric acids from the rheumatic bodies feels like the smaller crystals of sand. Other symptoms are found by the oilyness- of the water, the pastry four-and-water feeling, etc.
 4 visit to the Turkish bath will tell you whether you are healthy or not, and also determine just what nature the illness is. In this way relief can be gained before anything serious sets in.

New Orleans Cotton.


 New Orleans, Feb. 2O.-A rise Of over a cent pound was the result in the cotton market today of buy ing movement which started on the opening and was still in evidence al most on the close. Ire generally wet weather over the belt and very bullsh advices from Liverpool and Manchcs- ter, with heavy buying on this side of the water for the account of Eng fish traders, were the main reasons for the advance. As prices moved upward yesterdays sellers took aalrnl and covered on 2 large scale. Jhia covering movement was made all the more general by the fact that Satur- day will be holiday in both Ameli- can markets. Highest prices were reached late in the day an the rerort that group of southern traders would take up cotton on 10000 bales of March contracts in the New York market. The weather map was wet and more rains were predicted for the Eastern belt.
 eTelegrams from Texas claimed that in some counties farmers were leav- ing for other lines of work because of their water soaked fields. Further re- visions of low grade differences in At no time was there any pressure which was so much in evidence yes. terday.
 Cotton closed steady at an advance of 83 to 103 points.

 New York, Feb. 2O.-The cotton market recovered good part of its recent losses during today's trading owing to the continued firmness of Liverpool, reports of an improved tone in the goods trade and renewal of more or less general buying. The general list closed at net advance of 63 to 92 points.
 The opening was active and rather excited with first prices showing ad- vances in response toi'1t the firmer cables.

 Rumors was circulated on this ad- vance that southern factories were planning to buy considerable amount of March cotton here and demand de- livery.
 A further sharp increase was re- ported in low grade discounts, which was considered partly responsible for the Liverpool buying of near months to undo straddles. Private cables from Liverpool attributed tn eadvance there to improved labor conditions and an increased trade demand.
