Over W. T. Phelts X Co.'S Wire

New Orleans, March 22-Small advances were made in cotton today ma very small market Around the opening fioc- tuations were narrow and nervous and at one time the trading months were to Ii points under the close of yesterday. Later in the session prices were Ii to IA poirts above yesterdays finals. Next to nothing was done in old contracts and it looks as if the time is fast approach ine when orders will be executed in them only with the greatest difficulty
 The advance was mainly the result or reports of a better spot demand and the lack of any selling pressure. Weather co, oitions over the belt were very favor able. the drop in sterling exchange was a disturbing feature and international pol itics still remained an uncertain quan- tity. nevertheless no selling of conse- quence developed.
 While the foreign exchange market IS generally regarded as having bearish relation to cotton right now, spot peo- pie themselves do not appear to De much concerned. Some firms saw what was coming long ago and took measures to protect themselves. As for the future there are two sides to opinion, one being fiat the weakness of sterling will have an unfavorable effect on our cotton eX- norts while another opinion is that Eng fish importers will come forward with a better demand. It has been openly stated that the British government was restricting cotton imports in order TO protect sterling. Should the spot de msrd expand in the near future we feel that there will be no holding the mar ket down. .
 The market closed at net advance Of to 12 points on the, old contracts and point up to down on the new.-Shepard & Gluck.

CLOTHE THE NAKED.

The catastrophe which has overtaken
the Jewish people in the Eastern War
Zone has left them so destitute that it is
impossible adequately to picture their
condition to those living as we do in
comfort and plenty.
Another hard, terrible winter is facing
those who have so far survived starva
tion. The week Of November 18th to the
28th has been set aside by the Peoples
Relief Committee for a national cam
paign to gather clothing and shoes for
these pitiful survivors. During this week
volunteers will call at the homes to col
lect the bundles which our readers are
asked to make ready. Kindly tie each
pair of shoes separately. The local COM
mittee will forward these to the New
York headquarters from where they will
be forwarded to the needy in Europe.
Should you be overlooked by. the volun-
teers kindly call any of the following
by phone, and your bundle will be called
for: D. Shier, Hyland 6932; S. Zalmonof,
South 1898; I. Schneider. Drexel 1856;

Hayakawa in Great PhotopIay

Sessue Hayakawa never did a more convincing, more sympathetic charac- ter than as Akira, the Japanese poet, who gave his life to an ideal of sac rifice, in ''The Temple of Dusk" fea- ture photoplay being offered at the Columbia theater again today and Sat urday.
 Al1ira loves an American girl Ruth Dale. Ruth marries a man of her own race. Edward Markham. Three years later Ruth dies, neglected by Mark ham Akira promises the mother that her child shall be for him a sacred | trust
 Another spring finds Markham mar Tied to Adrienne Chester. They leave Japan for America. Akira accompanies them to be near the child Pembroke Wilson, an old friend of Adrienne, re sumes his attentions. Markham dis covers Wilson in his home and there is a murder, Akira assumes the guilt { that no disgrace may come to the fla | ther of the little girl. In making his l escape Akira is shot by one of the | guards. Al1ira rushes into Blossom S

 where she had gone in a delirium in search for him. He carries her back to l her room and tries to amuse her. His l every move sends excruciating pains

tull-armed. a modern musical Mi nerva, Lucy Gates flashed into the arena of American concert activities The day before her first concert in New York, four years ago, only a few of the cognoscenti were aware that this alert and radiant American girl had relinquished prestige and position as one of the advanced figures of the German operatic stage and upon the outbreak of the war, in defiance of the imperial mandate, fled to her own country ry-unheralded, unacclaimed. 1 The day after she sang the press rang with praise; nor was it mere

It isn't often tF .t the people of Phoe- nix have the firs. opportunity of view ing a world event. While everyone has been reading about the contest be- tween the nations to first cross the Atlantic ocean, the Columbia theater shows today and tomorrow the actual landing of the naval planes of the Emitted States in the Azores.
 This is a big scoop for the Columbia fAeater and an event in which the whole world is intesely interested s8 the present time.
 Since the taking of this picture news has been received of the safe landing of the United States planes across the Atlantic, and no doubt within a few days this event also will be shown at the Columbia theater.
 It is a distinct compliment to Phoe- nicians that the showing at the Colum- bia tbeater of this event is the first in the west

 Sonny Clay is all tuned up for the occasion, and states that he, with his piano playing partner, will sure put it across.
 Then there is the picture show which is a nightly free attraction. Staged in the big open air theater, offering the best to be procured, this is one of the most appreciated of attractions
 Then last but by no means least is the big pool, which is always open. It is filled with heated water, removing the chill, and always offering all that could be desired in water sports.
