suspecting guest, Then the goops appear and lead the now loudly pro- testing guests in the dark through the witchs dungeon. Here they must climb over obstacles, crawl through narrow openings and walk ten feet on piece of rubber hoseI
 When all the guests have met the ghosts, spooks and goops, the witch appears. She is director of festivi ties
 The whole evening should be crammed full of stunts and games and tricks. Ducking for apples, for tune telling, peeling apples without breaking the peel, so your wish will come true, doughnut biting, are all fun.
 Here are three unusually good games to play at your Halloween party The Musical Nut Hunt" will start the ball rolling and will insure ease and freedom from diffidence on the part of every guests. Try it first, because it gets your guests moving about the rooms.
 Three Letter Words.
 The first player spells out word of three letters; any word, like pie" for example. The next player spells word of three letters beginning with the last letter of the word just given. In the example it would be "e," and the chance to give 'eat," the third following with "t," tea" Mo 1uOYd oof1 ha oriua1, fUi0o and anV- one failing to give word must drop out of the game.
 Testing Fate.
 Seven candles, each marked signi- flying some special good fortune money, travel, fame, promotion, wrist watch, diamond ring, marriage-are placed around the room. Players in turn, blindfolded with black hand kerchief so that no light can pene- trate, are turned three times to the center of the room and then allowed to walk forward four steps and blow thrice. When candle is extinguished, its particular luck falls to the player within the year.
 Someone seated at a piano begins to play "a chestnut" This is the sig nal to start gathering nuts which are hidden all over the house. When the music stops short, players must hold the exact attitudes in which they are caught until the music begins again or pay a forfeit to the witch. This will be perfectly ludicrous at times and will cause great merri- ment. When three chords are sound ed all must return with their treas ures to the piano, where prize IS awarded for the most points. To make it doubly interesting each vatiS ety should score differently-an al mond, points, maybe; a huge CO coanut, ? points; Brazil nut, 10, and so on.

BitrO-P PhOsphate Is Good for Thin, Ner
 vOus People
A PHYSICIANS ADVICE.

Frederick s. Kolfe, NJ. D., Editor of New York Physicians Who's Who" says that weak, nervous people who want increased weight, strength and nerve force, should take 5-grain tablet of Bitro-Phosphate just before or during each meal.
 This particular phosphate is the discovery of a famous French scien- tist, and reports of remarkable re- suits from its use have recently ap- peared in many medical journals.
 If you do not feel well or are too thin, go to any good druggist and get enough Phosphate for a two weeks supply-it costs only fifty cents a week
 Eat less; chew your food thorough ly, and ir at the end of few weeks you do not feel stronger and better than you have for months; if your nerves are not steadier; if you do not sleep better and have more vim, endurance and vitality, your money will be returned, and the Bitro Phos- phate will cost you nothing.-Adv.

Now, the Druids believed In trans migration of couls, and on the eve of their festival to the hun they lighted their fire altars to propotiate the spir- it's of darkness. The custom was kept up in parts of Great Britain until a comparatively recent period. None of the levity caused by the modern witch fire" however was attached to this observance. Instead of chestnuts being roasted white stones, each pre- viously. marked with the name of, a member of the family, were thrown inti the Halloween fire. Prayers were then said and the family went to bed hoping to find all the stones again in the morning. If any stone were miss ing, it betokened that the owner of it would die within the year.
 While some superstitions are pretty, this was one of many which were cruel. Happily only sportiveness re- mains today of this quaint old-time and whatever incantations are chanteG have to do with healthy nonsense

HALLOWEEN, ALL HALLOWS EVE,
 OBSERVED OVER ENTIRE WORLD

Halloween, or All Hallows Eve, which will be observed in various ways in all parts of the world to- night, has a deep religious signifi- canoe as the vigil of Hallowmas, or All Saints Day. Though it's observ- ance today is entirely a Christian one, the orlgln or Halloween ante dates Christianity, and it is to this pagan origin that the games and mer- Iymakng associated with it today are traced. The ante-Christian ob- seryance of Halloween originated with the Druids, and was character ized by the lighting of bonfires, and a belief that ghosts and witches wan dered abroad on this night The Druids held. their autumnal festival on October 31, and lighted fires in honor of their Snn-God in Thanks giving for their harvest The Druids also believed that Saman, the lord of death, on the night of October 31 called together the souls of wicked persons from the bodies of animals into which these had been condemned 10 pass. In parts oT Ireland today Halloween is still called the vigil of Saman"
 ' Modern Scotch superstition also holds Halloween to be a night on which the witches, elves, ghosts, fair ies and imps hold holiday. The Scotch observances of the occasion are depicted in Robert Burns poem, Halloween" the most widely known contribution of the holiday to English literature. Up to few years ago huge fires were lighted in the hills of Scotland and Wales on Halloween.
 The Druids borrowed certain of their Halloween obseryances from

SUGGESTIONS FOR HALLOWEEN
 FUN AND HOUSE DECORATIONS

Of course, no Halloween gathering is true to form without witches, spooks. candles. diving for apples and fortune telling wizards. But here are some suggestions as to how to marshal the ghosts, spooks and witches to get the most fun.
 First of all. Halloween requires special decorations. The whole house may be decorated at extremely low cost and yet elaborately Get out into the country and bring in quan- titles of autumn leaves and golden rod With plenty of orange and black tissue paper and few pump kin lanterns, the whole place can be made very festive indeed.
 spooks and Goops.
 Invitations should be sent out about a week before the party. Ask a number of girls to be "spooks, 9 some to be "goops," and other ghosts. Ghosts are all white-the usual gar ment made out of a sheet and pillow case. The "goop" costume is accom-. plished with dark skirts fastened at the waist and caught over the head. At tue waist line a stick is fastened to form arms on which to hang a sweater which reaches to the floor. This gives the effect of a queer little body and an enormous head.
 During the evening the ghosts, spooks and goops should be very busy; also the goops may dance and do clever stunts. At the front. door as the guests arrive. one of the ghosts should be stationed to receive people in the dark. She must shake hands with everybody-not a soul should be allowed to escape her clammy, cold hand. This is really an old cotton glove, stuffed with boiled rice and kept on ice for several hours.
 Witch's Dungeon.
 After the ghost, still in the dark, the guest is confronted with the spook, who is armed with a bellows. She springs out suddenly and blows fierce blasts in the face of the un-

| ter of the floor of dark room. The pan contains some four or five pounds of salt which has been fairly we'll sat urated with wood alcohol. The party fathers around the pan, chanting the incantation quoted above. Each has been given chestnut, and each chest nut has been marked in some distin- gushing way. A lighted match is thrown on the salt, which breaks into blaze that gives off an uncsnnY green light. The chestnuts are then thrown in and the girl whose chestnut pops first will be the first bride. Of course, she must immediately eat the chestnut. BUT-that is not all.
 She is supposed to see the face of her future husband arising from the flamesi

New Orleans Cotton.
By Associated Press

New Orleans. June Manifestations were wide in cotton today, the market advancing strongly in the early trading, then slumping until net decline was es- tablished and recovering late in the ses- sion so that the close showed net gains of r to 72 points. It was an active mar ket and much of weather affair
 Liverpool was better than due, which bullish feature of the early session was the wet weather in Texas. Prospects of more rain over considerable portion of the belt and widespread complaints of foul fields intensified the effect of the map and before the day was very old prices were 101 to 1Sl points higher than yes terday's finals, continually rising to a2.S and October to 30.70.
 At this level October was 401 points higher than the low levels of last Satur- day and much realizing from the long side came on the market, checking the advance. Bedrish traders were quick to seize their advantage and they put out much short cotton. As the market reac- ted from the advance selling gradually in creased because of nervousness over the threatened spread of the wire strike to- morrow morning and the easiness con tinued until prices were to 3S points under yesterdays close. Rumors that a private bureau was out with a semi monthly condition report of only 70 per cent helped give the market better tone in the afternoon. The rise of 50 points in spot quotations putting middling to 3175 was also a steadying influence.

PIT TRADERS WENT SELLING AND SENT
 CORN PRICES DOWN
Oats Also Fell Off, While the Provisions List Va ries, 25c Decline to
 10c Rise
By Associated Prsss

Chicago, June 10.-Efforts which the federal reserve banking system was said to be putting forth to check unZ due speculation led to much selling of corn today. The market closed heavy at $ @2Ac net lower with July s1,e79s 91.674s, and September s1.5s% GL5sA. Oats finished A@%c down, and pro- visions varying from 25c decline to a rise of 10c.
 Weakness in the corn market became pronounced in the last hour.
 It was at that juncture reports were circulated that letters from the fed eral reserve board to the various re- serve banks had been sent expressing serious concern in regard to signs of over-speculation. Simultaneous down. turns in stocks and cotton had fur ther bearish effect on corn.
 Previously the corn market during the greater part of the day had shown strength on~account of wet weather and prospect of more. Bearish senti- ment crop report was noticeable at the opening, but. the bears did not again rule values to any important degree until competition of sellers widened out after midday and found support poor.
 Oats were governed mainly by the changes In corn. Higher quotations on nogs made provisions average higher. On the bulge, however, packers sold.

 DIPSAND ADVANCES
Closed Firm At a Net Advance Of 15 to As Points Over the Pre-
 viOus Day
By AssocIatsd Press

New York, June 10.-There were ex- tremely violent fluctuations in the cotton market today October contracts, for in- stance. sold up to s1.sOc during the early trading, or 1o7 points net higher. broke to soc, or 1SO points from the top. and closed at SO,6Sc, with the general list closed firm at net advance of b to IS points.
 There was a renewal of yesterdays excited and general buying movement at the start, which was evidently stim- ulated by the sensational strength of Liverpool and reports of further rains or showers in the south. The opening was strong at an advance of 4s to Ss points in consequence, and before the ur- gent demand had been supplied active months sold 101 to 1o7 points above last nights closing figures. with July touch ing 32.20c and December 3095c. In the case of October deliveries, this made an advance of SIT points, or of s1S.s5 Der bale fro mthe low level of last Saturday The buying movement then subsided and the market broke even more rapidly than it had advanced during the early afternoon under realizing or liquidation inspired by reports that domestic min buyers had withdrawn from the market talk of rather disappointing domestic mill consumption for May and rumors that the federal reserve board was con sidering measure to discourage general speculative activity.
 July broke to S0.70c and December to 29.e0c, or about 11S to 15o points from the high level of the morning on the active months but the market rallied later on hullish private condition figures and re- newed covering, with the close showing recoveries of some 60 to 75 points from the lowest. One of the southern authorl- ties estimated the mid-month condition of the crop at TO- compared with the re- cent government report of 765 and do- nestle mill consumption for May at ASA. . 600 bales, compared with 576,00O last year.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-06-11

forecast of even more rain to come over a large part of the belt intensified the effect of numerous complaints of very foul fields and prospects of much aban- donment of acreage The improvement continued until the market was 101 to 13l points up.
 Toward the middle of the day there was much realizing on profits on the long side, which was altogether natural, when 1t is remembered that october at the highest today was 401 points over the lowest of Saturday. Bearish traders were quick to seize their advantage and they made much of the wire trouble to aid their operations. The market fell until it stood to SS points under the close of yesterday. It is likely that the opening tomorrow may be affected by the telegraph situation. If 1t is not very bad the weekly crop reports at 10 o'clock will probably be the main factor.
 The market was stronger toward the colse and last prices were at net gains of 1T to 73 points for the session.--Shep- ard & Gluck

REGULATION HAS
 FEDERAL RESERVE OFFICIALS WORRIED
aused Depression of 1 to ES Points In Prices On Stock Exchange During
 Yesterdays Session
By Asseelatsd PreSs


 New York, June 10.-Renewed experess- ''' or concern on the part of the federal serve bank officials in Washington re- rding excessive speculation was con- Fered the dominating factor in a de- ession of from 1 to 1S0 points in prices
 the stock exchange today. The turn CT in shares approached the two million ark. The rate on call money for mixed ans did not advance beyond it's custo- ary six percent and this conformed to le understanding that the federal re- rye regarded as impracticable any such lsthod of favoring speculation, owing to le fact that there is so much government aancing in progress which must not be Ibjected to interference. The rate on ldustrial loans ruled at nine percent late the afternoon.
 Tn some quarters the opinion was ex- essed that an analysis of the federal serve banks letter to it's member banks king for information as to the extent
 borrowings for speculative purposes owed that the communication was not tended to deal with investments In sea- ned securities but rather only with cer- in oil properties and other enterprises slieved to be worthless. After publi- ltion of this interpretation, late in the lssion, prices improved somewhat, but le market closed heavy and its tone was ecidedly uncertain. Short covering also as a factor in the late moderate re- Dveries.
 Virtually only the tobacco group ex- Ibited sustained strength during the day Id the advances of six points in Ameri- Tn Sumatra tobacco and fractions in her shares were attributed to announc- g that some of the large interests had -ganized a company to extend their oerations into the foreign retail field.

Japan's Policy As a World Power

From "Present-D Day Government in
 Japan by Walter Wallace McLaren, in
 Asia" Magazine.
 Japanese imperialism. as recorded in their own history. manifested itself as early as A. D. 200, in which year the army Of the Empress lingo overran one of the kingdoms of Korea. Even though there is no historical basis for these events. the memory of them has been preserved for the political effect upon the nation. To- ward the close of the sixteenth century
 1ideyoshi set out to subjugate Korea and the middle Kingdom, and the records of his feats O. arms remained to the Jap anese an inspiring story. Not even dur ing the long night of the Tokugawa se- cluson did the Japanese entirely forget that glorious century in their history Nourished upon the stories of Japanese prowess of an earlier time, a whole school ot ardent imperialists appeared in the second quarter of the nineteenth century to plague the Tokugawa and assist in the overturning of their power. Among these later-day chauvihists was youthful prodigy. Yoshida Shoin, who deserves at- tention not because his teachings were more significant than those of many an- other of his generation. but because he Was schoolmaster to Kido, Inouye, Ito. Shinagawa and others of the leading men of the restoration. The burden of To- shida's teaching was directed against the Shogunate as usurpation of the right ful authority of the imperial house, and his activity in that direction led to his execution by the Yedo government in 1853. But Yoshida had many other strings to his bow; and one which was hardly less effective for the overthrow of the Toku- gawa than his exaltation of the Emperor was his imperialism. He advocated the opening of the Hokkaido, the taking of Kamchatka and the Kurile Islands, the absorption of the Loochoo Islands, taking part of Manchuria, Formosa and adjust ing Japans relations with Korea with a view of reasserting Japan's suzerainty over that kingdom and gradually showing an aggressive tendency"
