Sr-ar Market

By Associated Press
 New York, November lS.-The local market for raw sugar was weak and prices declined into new low ground for the season, closing easy at 5Ac for Cubas, cost and freight equal to s6.26 for centrifugal. There were sales of 3,7f0 bags of surname afloat. five cents, .c. i. f., and 2,600 bags Nof Porto Ricos, prompt shipment at 6.26 for centrifugal, which represented a declined of FAC from the previous level.
 The continued weakness in the spot market led to another downward revis- ion in refined with practically all re- liners lowering their quotations to the balls of $500 for fine granulated, the lowest price touched this season. The demand was again light, with buyers confining their purchases to nearby re- quirements only.
 The weakness in raws and the un- satisfactory developments in connection with the Cuban loan led to renewed selling pressure in sugar futures and prices at one time showed declines of 20 to 90 points for active positions. Near the close there was a slight rally on covering and buying by Wall street houses with final quotations IS to 20 points net lower. Business was mod erately active.

Unfortunately there Is no buying from spinners, so that as the securities market shows little signs of improving. there ia little in the situation to induce much fresh buying outside of the same investment buying which had appeared during the past few days. rally should take place. but there Is nothing new in the situation outside of the technical po- stion of the market to cause it.

 In order to avoid similar exper- fence the superintendent engaged a finger print expert to instruct the
 cad nurse in trying the system on the babies. We found we eouldn t get good prints of their hands, said the official. "Their feet, however, came out beautifully and for greater security the mother is finger-print- ed also"
 Very young babies, it was said, may look just alike, but their feet are quite diseimilar. One child, the superintendent said, will have per fcctly formed miniature pedal eX- tremlty, anothers will print mostly vague crss-cross lines and stll an other will look like "an egg and rye toothpicks."

Women to be Sugar Chemists at Spot
 Near Port Au Prince; Brave Wilds of
 Negro Republic for Business Conquest

New Orleans, Jan. 24.-When Miss 1nez Greenwood, chief chemist fol the Haitian American Sugar com pany, leaves New York today with her young and charming troup of laboratory assistants, for Husco plantation outside Port au Prince, an other precedent will be broken. The business C. being sugar chemist has always seemed purely masculine prerogaJlve. This group of girls will De the first women leaving the Unit ed States to take charge of sugar plantation laboratory.
 Breaking prerogatives is rather an old story to Miss Greenwood. A pro tracted session of the Louisiana i State University faculty was held three years ago to answer her de- mand for registration in the sugar chemistry course-the first girls to apply and enter.
 1t was the shop work" explained Miss Greenwood Friday afternoon just before leaving for New York. "They didn't think 1 could handle that part of the workout l did. l was determined to take the course and l didn't sec why woman couldn't make just as good chemist as q man. 1 just made sort of the blue denim overall and I learned to plane and saw just like the men in the course"
 Miss Greenwood is not the femin istic and mature person one would expect. She is young and smiling, and brown of eye and golden of hair "a real girly-girl, fond of dancing and fun, but with real ambition for serious work. She closed her work as head chemist at the Tally-Ho plan tation, near Bayou Goula, at o'clock Christmas eve, with strenuous Christmas day in prospect.

Keep Vigil for Soldier Reported
 as Dead Abroad

Cleveland, O., Jan. 24.--The body of Corporal Harold A. Moorehouse of Cleveland, according to the re- cords of the United States army, lies beneath small mound at ol- sene, just over the Belgian border and within the sound of gpnshot from the ruins of Ypres. Confirma- tion of his death and burial is con tained in sympathetic letters from his superior officers and chums who stood by the open graves of the he- roes of Olsene.
 But the relatives of the young man, his father and mother and many friends can not believe that he is dead and confidently expect his tarly return home.
 Their hope is based on what they have heard of "lost memory" cases among the returned soldiers. Nurses and attendants at various army hos- pitals in the United States have identified photographs of Corporal Moorehouse as the likeness of n wounded soldier who showed an K ray picture of his wounded arm:
 Hospitals at Camp Sherman, Fort Benj. Harrison, Camp Grant and Fort Sheridan have been visited by the father, Herbert s. Moor ahouse, in search of his son. Further en- couragement in tthe search has come from letters from Denver and towns in Utah telling of Corporal Moorehouse.
 So the vigil at the Moorehouse home, 2481 Arlington road, Shaker Heights, continues for the boy who they believe is wandering some where in the United States" trying to remember his home and return to it.

Census in Texas
 Reveals Mexican s 132 Years Old

N Austin, Tex, Jan. 24.-Census senumerators in Texas have brought : to light number of men and women of extraordinary old age, according to the reports turned in. In a re- mote part of Zapata county was found Mexican by the name of Pablo Rodriguez, who gave his age as lS2 years. He brought from the depths of a heavy, rough-hewn chest made of mesquite wood parchment upon which was recorded the date of his birth, September Is, 17SS, Tn Monterey. Mexico, and attested by s Padre Enrique Pajos. According to Rodriguez this document was secured by him when he became of age Tn or 5 der to prove his title to large body of land that had come to him from his father thru inheritance, but which was claimed by others. AL tho he proved his rightful owner shin of the land in question, he afterwards lost it in one of the many revolutions in which Mexico was involved. Finally, more than one hundred years ago he moved to his present home and became over seer of a large ranch that was at that time owned by a Spanlard, Thomas Vilegas. The Spaniard fell into hard lines. or died, and his big estate was divided adn sold. Rod riguez found himself out of Job as ranch overseer and became vaquero or cowboy, later descending in the scale of employment to that of goat-herder, For many years he has eked out living by raising few goats and doing odd jobs for the ranch owners near his home.
 Aunt Easter Robertson, negress, who lives at Brenham, gave her age as 120 years. She was slave in the Robertson family for many years and was brought to Texas by Gen. Jerome B. Robertson. She re- members many historical events of the early part of last century. The living members of the Robertson family vouch for Der statement as sto her age.
 It is found that there arc scores of Mexicans of more than 100 years old living in the Rio Grande border region.

 "We came to Missouri 60 years ago." said Mrs. Wall, land it was a long drive from Salem, but our two horses, Kit and Pete, didn't mind for when we arrived in Kingsville, Mo-, corn was so plentiful that the farmers had to burn it to make room for the new crop"
 Speaking of Civil war days, Mrs. Wall said:
 During the Civil war we had to be friends with the bushwhackers as we'll as with the federal troops, and often we fed troop of federals in the morning only to get ready for some irregular Southern troops in the evening. Idid not see any of the actual fighting, but I remem- Der the booming of the guns during the battle of Lone Jack"

Take Children's
 Footprints to Avoid
 Mixing Them Ur

New York, Jan. 24.-A system of taking footprints of children has been adopted in tho New York Nur- sery and Child's Hospital to pre- vent infants born there from going to the wrong mothers. Its adoption was due to the fact that a soldiers wife who recently gave birth to a baby in that hospital at first denied that the child was hers. The young mother, who had been reading sto- ries of accidental substitution Of children hospitals and similar institutions declined to nurse the baby.
 "We brought all the proofs we could muster" explained the super intendent, "but the mother persisted in the Authorization. She became hysterical with grief and fright. Finally, brought her out records which showed that only little col ared baby and her own had been born in the hospital that day. That convinced her, but just think of
