The StoryILike Best
written By Perth Amboy School Children upon
during "Book Week"

Katherine Allgaier, Of grade ga,
school No. I was most interested in
the story of Samuel Howe and gives
the following version of his ac-
eomplishment:
There was once q man named
Samuel Howe who was very kind
to the blind people.
The people wanted him to start a
school but he said that he would
go to Europe and learn how they
do it there. He stayed there and
learned all that he could and came
home. First he put a bandage yer
his W eyes to realize what 1t was
to be blind. Then he got a crowd
of children and brought them to his
fathers house and taught them how
to talk with their fingers. He did
this so wonderfully that he asked
the Legislature for money and they
promised to give six thousand dol
lars to start to teach a school. He
went to all the legislatures and ask
ed for money which they did.

The Book of Martha

little could we girls surmise of what
a man thought of his fairs, and the
deceits they caused, and the conse-

The big difficulty with Martha and

experience.
y Did Ewart take it for granted
that everything was always all right
between them. no matter what he
had been doing, il only she wouldn't
talk about IL?
And did Ewart smile IL she kept
still?
And rage IL she dared to show
that she knew about his romances?
And grow almost violent IL she
happened to touch upon the real
truth?
1t would simply be a waste of
time to try to get anything out of
Daddy Lorimer on that point. l
knew well that even at his age he
would never hand US girls some
facts about the double standard.
Certain truths no man eve tells any
woman.
But from Daddy's attitude toward
Martha and me. and his remark
about certain fool young husbands.
we could sum up the residum of his
experiences, perhaps. as he looked
back upon them from the serenity
of old age
when / see little women like
you, struggling in a net" Daddy
liked the phrase so much that he
repeated it. struggling in a net, and
using your puny strength to save
big, strong men from themselves,

of doing it, I'd like to make the
chaps swallow a bit of the real

THE WANDERER" AT THE
 JEFFERSON TONIGHT

s'The Wanderer,' the great Biblical drama that has created sensation wher- ever shown, comes to the Jefferson the-
 ater for return engagement of three performances and will be presented to-
 night, tomorrow night and matinee to-
 morrow afternoon.
 One of the most crucial points in The Wanderer' is where Jether, the prodigal son, foreswears the God of. his fathers and makes a sacrifice to Ishtar, the mother goddess of the Babylonians. He
 does this while under the influence or
 Tisfa, the siren, with whom he is madly
 infatuated, in order to prove to her ms
 deep devotion.
 Ishtar was particularly the guardian of woman and her interests. In all the trials and tribulations incident to her sex, the Babylonian woman could go to lsh- tar for sympathy and help and there were many Ishtars, from the goddesses of impurity to those with Minerva-hke austerity of morals. In denying the one true God and or fering sacrifices to this abomination, Jether was doomed to be cast out oI Israel. out of his home and family as a dog. But in "The Wanderer" it is most beautifully shown how the boundless love of his mother obtained for him the TOT giveness of his. father and restored him to his home and his family. to his race and his religion.

Weekly Cotton Review
By Associated Pres.

New Orleans, April 25.-The general trend in the cotton market last week was strongly lower under liquidation of the long interest and fresh selling
 for short account, based mainly on the
 idea that a prolonged reaction from
 the advance was due, although heavy
 selling appeared at times, particularly
 at the middle of the week, in sympa-
 thy with unfavorable developments in
 the money market buldged On unfa- vorable crop news. At the highest the
 trading months were 1s to 32 points over the close of the preceding week From this there was steady decline LuntiI the lowest levels were reached on the closing session. Here the mar ket stood at net declines of 2Se to z61 points, July traded at it's highest al 4O.16c, a new high level for that posi- tion. and fell off to 3762c. closing at i3777c. Last prices showed net losses for the week of 220 to Zoo points, The market moved over a range or 254 to 2ss points. In the spot depart ment middling closed at 47c, showing net loss of 10 points.
 On several sessions the udrhel re-
 covered strongly from the decline on unfavorable reports from the new crop, the weather being too cold over the greater portion of the belt. while too much rain fell in the central and eastern portions of the belt and not enough in the western portion, the drouth over Texas and Oklahoma be- ing described as serious by some crop observers. On the weekend there was heavy selling on prospects of the drouth being relieved
 This week 1t will probably be a weather market more than anything l else. although financial conditions are claiming a good deal of attention from most traders. Rains in Texas would | be regarded as about the most ia vorable crop development that could arise at this time. although warm and dry weather in the eastern belt would l be a development almost as important. | While at the opening of this last week | the market acted technically weak l the heavy selling of the succeeding l Sessions has put it in healthier shape | so that It can hardly be expected this week that technical conditions will play so important part in the trad l ing.
