New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, January 6.--Selling pres- sures forced decline of s4 a bale in the price of cotton today before the market displayed any sustained steadiness. In the afternoon shorts took their profits and their demand caused moderate re- coveries, the market closing at net loss for the day of 49 to 55 points.
 Offerings were heavy on the opening and appeared to be designed to force fresh liquidation of long contracts In the early trading the active months were off 36 to 4s points. Recoveries of about 90 points came about after which selling again increased. Lowest prices were reached in the early afternoon when the decline amounted to S1 to SS points,
 Features that caused periods of steadi- ness were reports of lower ocean freight rates out of Galveston and the large mill takings for last week. These sta tistics were not issued until today be- cause of delays in transmission of ca blegrams from Europe. Total world takings of American cotton were put at 363,000 bales against 360,OO0 this week last year and S5s,OO0 two years ago.

The women of the First Baptist church will observe Tuesday as day of prayer, meeting at the church at 10 o'clock and remaining until o'clock. It was decided to have the all-day session instead of short service every day this week, as the week is being observed all over the dis trict as one of prayer. A programme has been arranged, giving different topic for each hour, and meeting in interest of missions will be well attended. A num- Der of women from the church will at tend the all-day 'prayer service at the Woodlawn- Baptist church Thursday, when the Baptist women from the district will assemble.

GERMAN FACTORY IS MAKING IRON CROSSES
 FOR WAR SOUVENIRS

Coblenz, Feb. 2.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-A factory at Pforzheim near Karlsruhe has been working day and night recently turning out iron crosses to be sold to American soldiers and other troops eager for :. souvenirs of the war, according to- travellers from Germany who arrived in Coblenz late in January While the Berlin au- thorities have discouraged the idea and other war decorations to sol- diers of the allies quite business has been built up in this line in the zones occupied by the British, French and Americans. In Coblenz and oth- ef cities the .burgomasters have ap- pealed to the self-respect of the trades people in endeavors to stamp out the business of selling the vari- ous German medals and officers in- signia. ,e4
 But the souvenir business thrives nevertheless, the merchants in the neutral areas reporting that they can purchase all the iron crosses and other decorations in any quanti- ty desired. These are all brought from unoccupied Germany, the sup ply in the occupied part of the Rhineland having been exhausted soon after the allies took up their positions at the three bridgeheads.
 Owing to the fact that the author ities will not issue permits for the shipment of honor medals into the occupied zones, travellers say that iron crosses by the hundred and oth- CT relices of the war are being snug gled across the border in great num- bers.
 In Coblenz during the latter part of January iron crosses sold in the stores for from nine to twelve marks each When the Americans first came to Coblenz the crosses were valued at from five to nine marks. During the war, around the prisoner stockades, iron crosses were sold to the Americans at prices ranging from fifty francs to two hundred francs.
 The factory at Pforzheim which has been manufacturing the crosses for the souvenir hunters is the same one which had a contract from the German government for years for the making of the iron crosses given to the German soldiers f6r acts of brav- cry on the battlefield

SEARCH FOR METEOR.

Towanda, Pa., March 16.-A search for a missing meteor, conducted by the United States geological survey, has ended in the reservoir of the Towanda Water company. Incident ally it has epabled the company to account for the sudden disappears aAce of it's ice crop on the night of January 22.
 On the afternoon of the meteor's flight local officials visited the re- servoir and decided to cut the eight inch crop of ice the next morning. During the night the meteor landed in the reservoir. When workmen went to harvest the ice, it had dwindled to a scant three inches, due. it is asserted, to the heat of the meteor warming the water in the reservoir.
 The reservoir will be drained in an effort to find the meteor.

ize. There can be but three posi- tions of the feet if there is to be per feet ease in dancing. The muscles cannot memorize the freak steps. That is the reason the waltz and two step lived right down to the time of the tango
 And here let me say that the tango was only diversion; so was the maXixe; so vas the hesitation, and so were the other similar dances. They had their day, but were soon tossed aside by the public. The hesitation was pretty, but it was also difficult
 "The foX-trot has been kept alive by pretty music. This step was not originated by dancing masters. In fact, the public. and not the dancing masters, are the originatOrs of new dances. The fox-trot was the out growth of an attempt by eastern col lege boys to liven up the one-step. When the dance became popular composers were quick t63get on the market with music that blended prop erly with the steps.
 Will the dancing craze increase after July 1? Dancing masters think so. But theatrical men also predict increased interest So do all other amusement men. It is largely guess what prohibitio nwill do for the various amusements.
 But right now America is dancing like she never danced before"

DANCING CRAZE
 AGAIN |NVADES
 THIS CONTINENT
Americans Are Prone To Dance And Forget
 Recent War.

Chicago, March 18.-America's in terest in dancing has quickened since i, hostilities ended, according to lead ing dancing masters, who declare that the public, young and old, are literally dancing off the depression of , war.
 Since early December, record crowds have filled public and private halls, clubs. cafes and other places where dancing is permitted. Sim
 ilar conditions obtain in other cities, the masters say Dancing classes, in many cases including father, mother and children of one family,
 have increased to six times the num-
 Der they contained during the war
 months. There are no new dances to which the increased interest may be attri- buted Indeed, the experts predict that the pre-war dances-the one- step, waltz and fox trot-will con tinue to be the standards for the next ten years, for they have perfect rythm, and only dances with perfect rythm can survive.
 Of course, tempermental America, ever craving variety must have it's freak steps, twists, turns, dips and slides, but these are merely passing fancies, the masters explain. They add that these steps, silly as they
 seem, take thought and there cannot
 be dancing rythm where thought is
 required.
 Even now, the masters explain, the
 daring dances are fading into the
 background, and body positions are becoming more and more dignified. The twinkle toe, the chicken hop, the jelly wobble, and the slip-up, for time popular, are but a flash in the pan, and already have been discard ed in first class dancing institutions. { Some Are "HOrrid."
 %Fancy the day partner bending the leg straight back from the knee and then taking two quick hops for ward on. the other foot" said one teacher. Ut isn't rythm; there is no art; the chicken hop and its kin dred dances soon will be relegated to the burlesque show"
 "But," explained John Chalmers, for twenty eight years master in New York Canada and Chicago, "the one-step, for-trot and waltz will re- main, just as the two-step and waltz were standards for years.
 Dances are governed largely by the music of the day. For instance, Sousa's marches of twenty-seven years ago resulted in the re-intro- duction of the two-step. This dance was easy for the muscles to memor-

MANY AMERICAN HEARTS
 WON BY FRENCH GIRLS

PARIS, April 8 Correspondence of the Associated Press) That Cupid was nearly busy as Mars with the members of the American Expedition ary Force and that romance bloomed in France in spite of wars talarms is shown by the fact that more than six thousand French women have been wooed and won by American soldiers within one year. The majority of the French girls who have become Amer jeans through marrying men and off |cers of the American Expeditonary Force are stenographers, salegirls ol teachers with sprinkling of peasant girls and those of the middle class ol bourgeoisie.
 The romances are in most cases very similar. A soldier would be bil leted with French family member of which would be girl of marriage able age. Together they would delvt into the intricacies of the French Ian

TO ARGUE SHEA CASE
 BEFORE CIRCUIT COURT

District Attorney w. A. Muif1ey, of Valdez, was in town today on his way to San Francisco to argue the appeal case of William Shea who was found guilty of the murder of Rance Book.
 While outside Judge Munly expects to meet his son, Captain William C.. Munly, now first assistant to the chief surgeon at Leterman Military Hos- pital at the Presidio, San Francisco. Captain Munly has the distinction of passing the highest examination of any officer in the United States ill the medical examinations conducted last year by the National Board of Exam iners, and is regarded as one of the most promising and efficient young officers in the medical corps of the regular army. Last Sunday MT. Munly's son, Ser geant Edmund F. Munly, wired his parents that he had just safely ar rived in New York from France and he will likely be in Portland when his father arrives there.
 Edmund is a member of the famous Ninety First division and went w1tE that division through the historic bat tie of Argonne forest and was with them in the subsequent drive against the Germans on Flanders fields" just prior to the armistice. He has since been at Ceton, France, awaiting return.
 During the absence of the United States Attorney Munly, Assistant U s. Attorneys Bennett at Valdez anc Murphy at Anchorage, will have charge of the office.

superseded by combination of Anglo French jibberish.
 The clean cut, healthy physique of the Americans, their politeness and generosity would appeal to the heart of the French girl who saw in the American the realization of her dreams. As a rule, the Americans also made no secret of the particular sympathetic feeling they had for the French girls and so as a natural SC, uuence, marriages resulted. Many such pairs now are puzzled whether the wife should accompany her husband to America or the hus band should make his home 1T France. It is expected that fully fifty per cent of the benedicts will adopt France for their future home.

PROSPECT FOR NIZINA BRIDGE
 IS BRIGHTER
(From the Mccarthy News)

(From the Mccarthy News)
 At last there is hope of some action on the bridge question. The contin- ued agitation of our Commercial club and others has resulted in the matter being placed before the territorial Legislature in the shape of bill re- gently introduced by Representative Slater for an appropriation of $25,OOO to complete the Nizina bridge.
 The Hon. H. A. Slater is making every effort to secure us, by the pass age of this bill as large grant as is available this session. This appropri- ation, however, is totally inadequate for the work which is to be done, but acting on the principle of "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, " it would be well to use the appropria- tion if the bill is passed, always keep ing in view the fact that we must have permanent structure, and that it will cost a much greater sum than any that has yet been granted.
 An appropriation of $25,O00 would allow for the salvage of the present bridge, which is worth $20,O00.
 A logging crew could be sent out this fall to cut piling and the same could be hauled out over the ice next winter. Meantime a competent engi- neer could be testing the gravels, so that the error of trying to drive through hardpan or false bedrock, or whatever it might be, would not be repeated.
 By the fall of 1920 the construction of the permanent bridge could be be- gun. All this will be feasible if the present structure is saved and an other appropriation secured.
 The following would be fair esti- mate of the expense to be incurred :: $4,000 to save present structure i; $2,500 to cut and haul piling; $3,O0O for engineers tests-a total of $8,50O, which would leave balance of the appropriation on hand of $15,5OO which, with the $20,OOO of lumber saved, gives us $35,5OO for starter on tf1at permanent bridge. Now an other appropriation of $1500O would bring the fund up to $50OO0, the amount required to build bridge over the Nizina and build it right.
 Then we would have,a bridge which would be a source of comfort and benefit to the residents of either side
 The many Investors who are only too ready to listen to mineral projects where there are trails and bridges would begin to come in and would de- that forbidding expanse of the now velop the rich minerals which lie over unbridged Nizina
