Federated Women CLUBS

FROM The Patterson Tribune:
The Louisiana Federation OF
Women's Clubs will hold its
Nineteenth Annual Convention
February 12-13-14, in New Or
leans. Mrs. w. G. c. Storm, the
Estate president is anxious to
have every club represented by
Its full quota of delegates, which
lis three, that the meeting may
bring forth the results for which
it is held, and that it may be the
means of a revival of Federation
Ispirit.-a great enthusiasm and
| determination to "carry on"
Federation stands for protec-
Ition and betterment. All hope of
progress lies in a unity of pur-
pose. Without conventions our
work would be colorless. We
must bring together thoughts
representing workable ideas
from different sections, then
discuss the ideas for proper and
Intelligent action. The State
and District Conventions have
been productive of much good
Ito Federated clubs, broadening
considerably their sphere of use
fulness and opening new chan
nels whereby their energy for
doing better and more useful
work could flow. The work of
reconstruction is of vital inter-
est to club women. The conven-
ton program will deal largely
with it. Mrs. Owen Kildare, au-
thor and writer, will address the
convention on "Woman's Place
in Industrial Issues" While it
will be vastly different from the
bitter period, that made double
heroes of our gallant fore-fath-
ers, there will be work for all
in solving the problems, and as
during the war, women will be
called upon to share this work
with the men on a $3.50 basis.
The work performed through
clubs will be accomplished with
system and thoroughness, and
consequently be of more value.
It is the wish of the president,
Mrs. Storm, that special effort
be made on the part of all clubs
to be represented at this conven-
ton. The Patterson Civic
League will meet on Tuesday,
February 4th. Delegates will be
appointed. All members are ask
ed to attend.

Patterson Can Claim the
Distinction Of Calling
One Of its Citizens
Famous Inventor
Practical Inventions Of Local
Business Man Has Brought
Attention to City. May.

From The Patterson Tribune:
Patterson can claim as her
own. a citizen, who has put on
the records at Washington, y.
c., a number Of inventions that
have proven themselves be-
yond any question of dispute.
The inventor, Is Mr.. w. G.
Maloz. Born and raised in Pat
terson. An invention that tests
the genius Of mechanical mathe-
mates must in the natural or
der Of things come from the
brain of a man whose study in
mechanical science has been far
above the ordinary man.
To be able to. set the world
thinking Of several things, is a
master stroke for an incorpora-
tor seeking to organize compa-
MES. To serve the public with
actual necessities that benefits
the business world and at the
same time save the individual
from loss of merchandise, is
without doubt, genius.
Therefore, W. c. Maloz is a
genius. Not a crank. Some
cranks are smart, but the genius
is that kind Of man who benefits
the human race and protects it.
What the first invention was
Mr.. Maloz put before the public
the writer does not know. Mod
esty on the part Of Mr.. Maloz
made it difficult for the writer
to get full facts as to the char
acter Of early inventions. But
it is known that his one key null
tiplying machine that he demon
strated in New Orleans before
a number Of expert adding and
comptometer operators, made
them scratch their heads with
wonderment and sincere admir-
alton.
His Keyless lock for mail
sacks, with an unlimited num-
Der Of combinations to lock or
open has met with approval from
standard. authorities Of locks
and secret panel devices. When
questioned as to the exact num-
Der Of changes his keyless look
would respond to,-the writer
thinking that dozen or more
pretty large-the inventor quite
! nonchantly replied, ooh about
eight hundred thousand, there's
no limit"
His six foot "Cranometer", is
a thing that shows beyond any
doubt it's usefulness. There is
one in the store behind the coun-
ter which belongs to the broth
<ers, W. c. and D. H. Maloz.
This "Cranometer" is a me-
chanical device which automat-
ically measures grain. On top
is a large bin holding any num-
Der Of pounds or quarts of loose
cereal, such as peas, beans, rice,
coffee, grits, and other loose
b;ik barrelled goods. Below, or
what can be called the waistline,
there are indicators or push but
tons, with the numerals from
five cents up to fifty cents,
which when pressed, at the same
time releasing a pressfoot con-
ncction, allows the amount pur-
chased Of the goods wanted, to
flow to the bag held by the oper-
ator. allowing the use OF both
hands.
For instance: Customer wants
fifty cents of grits. Clerk takes
paper bag and places the
mouth Of the bag at the funnel
underneath the so cents push
button, presses foot control,
then the SO cent dial bag fills up
to the exact amount of fifty

 New Orleans, September 7--Trading in cotton last week was marked by a long series of slumps, prices falling 343 to $50 points from the high levels made on the opening session. The net change for the week was a decline of 293 to 325 points. In the spot depart ment prices lost 225 points, middling closing at 29c. The closing price on October was 28.4Sc.
 Selling started on the bearish con struction placed on the government con dition report on August 25 The trade paid no great attention to the condi- tion percentage of 61.4, but made much of the fact that it indicated a yield of 11,230,000 bales, which compared with the indicated yield of 11,136,00O on August 25, of last year.
 The favorable weather of the week, in practically all sections of the belt, lack of spot demand, further weak ness in foreign exchange and an unfa- vorable view of labor conditions the closing session of the week, encour- aged selling. Only small support was derived from the storm reported in tropical waters and the realizing of profits on short contracts the last two days of the week hardly had more than a steadying influence on values.
 Throughout the week just ended ex- pectations were for small ginning re- turns in the first report of the season from the census bureau, which is due at g o'clock Monday morning, but no buy ing of consequence was aroused by these anticipations. Private returns

It was with a great deal of pleasure that I read Stephen Bush's review of "'The Miracle Man in this weeks Bill board out Saturday. MT. Bush is one or the noted reviewers of the country and said in part
 No little material for strong, human and wholesome screen plots and stories is to be found in what are known as the Four Gospels, quite aside from seen ario for the Passion Play. Memories or Tolstoy and Browning are scattered all thru this play, memories that lead back to ''Ressurection' and to "Pippa Passes" mystic spirit of gospel love is this play. that scriptual quotations and alusions find their way into the titles as easily as water runs down a hill. When thls sort of material falls into the hands or a master or even clever manipulator it is very apt to develop into first-class screen production. Such is this play called "The Miracle Man" To say that it ap- peals to the crowd is understating It's effects Let me rather say it makes the crowd in the theatre part and parcel or the crowd on the screen.

New York, September 7-Business on the stock exchange last week hinged almost exclusively on the industrial sit nation. The firm stand taken by the administration in connection with the railroad brotherhoods was offset in measure by the ultimatum of the steel workers to the United States steel cor poration.
 Banking and general financial condl- tions yielded none of their recent sta- bility, aside from recurrent weakness in the foreign exchange market. sterling forfeited much of its re- cent recovery with French and Italian rem:ttances at new low records.
 The foreign exchange situation con tinued to engage the attention of leading economists in the financial district, and there was reason to believe that steps soon would be taken by the French gov ernment to rectify existing conditions Iondon bankers, however. holding aloof.
 In the money market the only note worthy change was the lower rates Tor call leans, which dropped from their "pegged'' quotation of six per cent to five and even 41z. but time funds held firm on the smaller supply at $ to SH per cent.

New York, September 7While- there was still a disposition to delay future commitments. the steel market was ac- tive last week in all branches and some congestion of orders was apparent in certain lines. The shortage of steel bars and sheets was more acute Producers no. only were unable to keep up with the demand, but were hampered by an in> sufficient supply of bars. Demand was also active for plates, structural steel material and for tin plates for export
 Prices were firm without increase. Consumers of iron were fairly well covered for the last quarter but there were many inauiries for the first half,
 upon which many furnaces were unwill-

 Prices were firm, but unchanged except for premiums on certain grades. | Copper remained quiet with larger con- sunerssstin out of the market. Producers asked 23t. for September and 24c for october, but resale copper in small lots was Ctfeled at 221a to 22h.
