STRENGTH 0F NEAR
 M0NTRS IS FEATURE
 OF COTTON MARKET

New York, April 7.-The feature in the cotton market today was the strength of near positions. shorts were forced to bid April up to 1i.50 before they could get few hundred bales at the opening. This evidently increased the nervousness of May shorts and that delivery late in the day sold up to 4l 20 or 90 points net higher and a new high record for the season. It closed at 4090, with the general market closing very steady at a net advance of 120 points on April and of ? to CT points on other months.
 Notwithstanding the big opening advance in April, reactionary senti- ment was very much in evidence dur ing the earlier trading. Reports of better weather in the south with the easier ruling of exchange led to a good deal of realizing and scattered selling by spinners and the market turned firmer toward the end of the morning. The weekly report from the weather bureau seemed to meet bullsh expectations, particularly m it's reference to the necessity of con siderable replanting in Texas, and buying also was stimulated by re- ports rom Washington that the house might vote on the peace resolution by next Friday. Exports today, S,331, making 5,193, i38 so far this season. Port receipts 20,348. United States port stock l,215, ,73S.

 the Construction
 Program of Navy

Washington, April 7.--A,though standing on the 1921 naval building program as authorized by the house, the senate naval affairs committee will recommend an increase of $S9,- 100000 over house appropriations to enable quick construction. The house bill authorized 9 total ofs424,bQ0, 900.
 The senate committed. which vir- tually completed the naval bill to- day and plans to report it to the senate late this week, also granted liberal increases for other naval en- terpriscs. including an increase of nearly $lo,000, 900 for naval aviation.
 The largest single increase was $ll,70oO00 for completing aviation tenders under construction at Hog Island, for which material already has been fabricAtcd. The house omitted |this item.
 To complete 1916 building program as decided on by the house, the senate |eommitfee raised the appropriations from &t8.OQ0, 900 to $52 ,000 900. Items of $1f f,000, 900 for torpedo boat lconstruetion and $45, ,000, 900 for armor plate Iafe left unchanged.

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, April I. Weekly crop reviews were issued today and were much more unfavorabe than expected and they put prices of cotton con tracts higher in decided way, fol lowing declines in the early trading. Last prices were at net galns for the day of 15 to 37 points.
 The openlng was lower, Liverpool not meeting the ad;.2nccs on this side of the water during the last couple of sessions. Foreign political news was considered highly unfavorable and it's effect was intensified by the fall irl the rate of French exchange. When tha weather map was posted 1t was found to reflect very good conditions over the belt and the market reached its lowest on this showing. The weekly crop returns at lo o'clock changed the look of the mar ket completely, mention of too much rain in the eastern belt and too little in Texas and the claim that replant- ing would be necessary in that state causing general buying for both ac- counts

Universal Military Training is Likely
 to be Defeated

Washington, April 1.-The big fipht against universal military train ing opened late today in the senate with indications that the final vote probably tomorrow, would result in its rejection.
 Leaders on both sides who informal, ly canvassed the senate voted, refused to comment on the probable outcome. IA was said, however, that 40 demo- 0crats and i3 republicans were against the training plan. In this situation 'a movement was begun aiming at the substitution of program of volun- tary training.
 There was sharp debate today on the training scheme. which was rraised and condemned but the sum tntal of action was the decision to nostnone @ from 1921 to- 1929 the date cn which tho plan would De put into force. That was done with less tnah Ia dozen senators in the chamber. :,

Helene's Married. Life


relieved herself of irksome duties.
 Again my pride rose up in arms. I longed to turn about and travel back to, New York.

 If Alice merely tolerated mc-hate- ful thought! now held trump card in the possession of the mys- terious bracelet! Such knowledge gave me power.
 When alighted at the little coun- try platform nearest to Anstruther Lodge. I found a car was waiting for me. Instead of the usual chauf- feur, MT. Anstruther himself was at the wheel.
 "Glad to see you back, Helene" he said gruffly, as he helped me in- stos the seat ' behind him. Here, give me your parcels. r "Be careful. Don't drop them. They may burst" l admonished him, pleased with my welcome, but anx- ious over, Alice's delicacies.
 Good heavens! Are you carry ing bombs, or high explosives? Or what?" Alice's husband handled the packages gingerly "What have we here ?" "Alice's commissions. Cabbage leaf cakes of maripan-some" pastry and these are chocolates" I res bonded.
 MT. Anstruther drowned. He open- ed his lips as though to speak. And then, apparently, he changed his mind.

 Young St. Aubyns? Oh, he's do- ing. fairly well!" It was evident that my hosts thoughts were not centered upon the invalid, but on something else. "We had a first class man from town today, who 1 says that he'll pull through ~fh 1 time, and be as right as rain." The words were uttered absentv-minded- ly.,

BETTER THAN CALOME[
Thousands Have Discovered Er. Edwards Olive Tablets
 are a Harmless Substitute

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub stitute for calornel are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. These little olive colored tablets are the result of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
 The pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel- They take hold of the trouble and
 uicl.ly correct it. Why cure the liver
 the expense of the teeth? Calomel

Alkali in ShampOos
 Bad for Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
 The best thing to use is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's bery cheap and beats anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Simply moisten the hair with wa ter and rub it in, about teaspoon ful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt ana dandruff.

By May Christie

Having once made up my mind, am always quick to act. With in three minutes I was bowling thru the streets.
 I counted out the~ contents of my purse. had $s5 in bills and silver Yes, that would be. ample to redeem the watch, purchase my ticket for the country, and leave little sur plus.
 In an incredibly short time, I had reached my destination. The taxi drew up outside a mean looking little shop. in a drab side street.
 l descended, telling the driver to wait. I had no mind to be left alone in this shady neighborhood.
 And then I went inside the place.
 A greasy-looking Jew came for ward at the summoning tinkle of the shop bell. He beamed billy upon me.
 "Yes, ma'am. You have. something that you wish to show me ?" He rubbed plump hands together, smirk- ing.
 His face fell 'visibly when 1 pro- duced the ticket.
 ("But it was a gen'lema that left the goods") he murmured.
 I cleared my throat.
 q am friend of his," 1 said, fore ing the words out sorely against my will.
 I paid the $70 dollars, received the watch bracelet, and returnerd to the waiting taxi. My mission was ac- complished.
 And I was glad. For now it might be possible to find out Jim's part in the affair. I could wear the watch in Jim's presence-watch his face when his eyes rested on it-sce if the sight of it stirred up any mem ories---
 Then my heart sank. For there were great gaps in Jim's memory since his accident-gaps that never might be bridged. e1 #.
 Oh. would q day come when he would remember me, his secret wife?
 Why, why hadn't confessed the whole truth before?
 It was too late now. In view o1 Jim's utter bewildcrment at any such announcement. and my own pre- vious silence, they never would be- lieve me--never! <, But-here I gave q wan smile-l had my marriage certificate, perfect

German Hand is Seen in Recent
 !. Sim Fein Plots

London, April 7.-Recent uncon- firmed reports of Sim Fein plot
 for an armed uprising in ireland were based on fact according to the Irish
 police. They state that they are in possession of information not only indicating rising was intended but that certain Germans in Berlin had engaged to furnish war material. In this connection, Thomas J. Loughlin, Dublin business man, and mem ber of the Sim Fein has been ar rested under the defense of the realn, act No definite charge has as yet been preferred against him, but the Irish police state that his arrest was effected after they had learned that he was party to a treaty with the Germans for arms and ammunition.

ly intact. That was proof posi- tive.
 Yet my proud heart told me that not until Jim himself assured me of his loye--not until Jim himself an- nounced our marriage, proudly, like a happy bridegroom, and for all the world to know-no, not till then would I take any steps to let my true position as Jim's wife be known! + < + + {. Ethically, I suppose, had no right from it's lowly sojourn in the pawn brokers establishment. But the ethics of the situation didn't worry me at all. .e The discovery might lead to some- thing. And Alice -doubtless--would be thankful to have her property back again.
 Oh, must completely disillusion her as to Tony, and his doings! Tho couldn't possibly approve of AL ice, must stand by my own sex, and stop Tony's goings-on. There were limits to the patience of even the most indulgent husband. AL ices life-partner might, like the pro- verbal worm, do some 'turning" that would be far from pleasant. This in the near future, too, unless the flrtatious Alice mended her little ways.
 As the train carried me swiftly to- wards the objects of my solicitude, my thoughts as usual reverted to the invaiid-Jim St. Aubyns. I began to dread the news that might hear. Suppose poor Jim were worse? Sup pose the operation hadn't been quite successful, and the brain were per manently affected? Oh, suppose a thousand things?
 Of all emotions, love can be the most torturing. :.

 An, if only had the right to a permanent position as Jim's nurse.
 Submerged in sudden mood of depression, I told myself that 1 was only here on sufferance. Alice shirking the responsibility of illness ! in the .house--was forced against her will to tolerate me, in that was useful to the invalid, and thereby

 Every care should be taken. 10 preserve the skin, especially the tace' neck, arms and hands. Only the purcst and best sterilized toilet soap should be used to cleanse the skin and when a face powder must be employed, one ot the highest quality should be selected. s=

 Corn trading was active and prices fluctuated rapidly. At first, the pre- vailing feature was lack of selling pressure and shorts soon became ap- prehensive regarding the strike situ- ation. Toward the last the market swung upward again, with bulls giv- ing emphasis to the reports of liberal European buying of wheat and rye at about the highest prices yet this sea son.
