Gland Capsules Give Man of 72 the
 Health of Youth

Robert George Laws, seven- ty-two, retired London broker who arrived here recent ly on the liner Cedric, claims his health and strength were recently restored after years of illness by the use of capsules made up of monkeys glands.
 He asserts fifty capsules made from the prescription of a Professor whose intestinal gland discoveries astounded the medical world not long ago, have added years to his life.
 Laws appears to be about forty and possesses unusual strength. He asserts the admin ftration of the monkeys glands restored his health after ten years illness.

 At the opening of this month a sur plus of farm labor was evident. There were a number of instances of men who came back from the harvest fields declaring that they had been unable to find employment. At the end of the first week in July scattered requests were received for more harvest laborers to be sent to counties in northwestern Kansas, a need which is being filled. according to the federal employment agents.

Joy.Riding on the Via Sacra

From Three Ia.aces,' by J. .. F.
 Bland, in Asia.
 For good or evil, the west has left its mark upon and around the Forbidden City. They have cut great holes in the Chien Hen wall and the stupid people make free of the Via Sacra, the straight and royal road which runs from the heart of the imperial enclosure to the Temple of Heaven. Cooks tourists, in motor cars, no wraise the dust in places where in former days no foreigner might pass. The picturesque old Picking cart and the palanquin have almost disap- peared from the main streets; today ministers of state and wealthy men drive in their limousines, where twenty years ago they sat behind fat Ezechuan mules, protected from the mud in covered carts. You can even motor on a good metaled Summer palace; if rumor lie not. more than one dignitary of the new regime repairs thither for week-en joy-rides with Dulcinea- a-up-to-date. Thousands of jinrikshas, public and private crowd the new thoroughfares; these, and Gnu Chi chien's stold police, are conspicuous amongst the outward and visible signs of change. But the camel and the don key still bear their modest share of the traffic, and the general appearance of the city beyond the small area in which foreign-style houses have been built is much the same as it was in the days of the Manchus. At dusk the shrili cries and pipings of innumerable hawkers and pedlers blend in an old-time evensong, that seem to speak of lives deep-rooted in ancestral ways-a sort of vocal in- cense to the past

Military Finesse In Arabia

From the Trojan Horse Enters Damas-
 cus." by Lowell Thomas, in Asia
 In June. 1918, when Ludendorff was making his last drive toward Paris md the channel rorts. the allies were so hard pressed on the western front that they had to ask General Allenby to send many of his divisions from Palestine as endorsements to France. Allenby had intended to launch his final attack against the Turkish lines north of Jeru- salem early in the summer. but the tl- lied reverses on the western front dis rupted all his plans.
 Allenby could not engage the Turks in pitched battle with his small and poorly trained army so his object was to draw all the Turkish reserves to the wrong place-the Jordan valley. Colonel Thom- as Lawrence and Emir Feisal started north from the head of the Gulf of Aka ba to- cooperate with Allenby early in September It was Lawrence's plan to build LID a new army recruited from the Arabs of the north Arabian desert and Syrian deserters from the Turkish forces He did not take many HeJaz Arabs along on his final expedition. When his caravans started on their way up she wady Araba, the desolate valley be- tween the head of the Gulf of Akaba and the Dead Sea, his equipment con- sisted of 2,00O baggage camels, 45o Arab regulars mounted on camels, Aram ntachine-gun units, aeroplanes, 3 Rolls-Royce armored motored cars, demolition company of picked men from the Egyptian camel corps (to assist him in blowing up the Turkish lines of com municatiops), a battalion of Ghurkhas from India mounted. on camels and four guns manned by French Algerians.

Diving is not permitted for two years in sue- cession at the same island. The vari- ous pearl islands are opened in rota- ton. This means that all gear, stocks of merchandise and building material must be taken to a new island each year-no small undertaking when it is remembered that the coral atoll, which in ordinary times supports less than 200 persons. becomes in the diving season the abiding place of 2,500 or more.
 This year the open island is Hikueru, one of the Paumotu Archipelago, 400 miles to the eastward of Tahiti,

Cotton Is Weaker
Again Because of
Trade Uneasiness
Early Advances Lost in Re-
actions and Closing Is
at Lowest Prices Of Day:
Decline of 5 to 20 Points

Early advances In the cotton market
were followed by reactions. While the
crop Is supposed to be improving as a
result of recent favorable weather. the
fear ef another short yield has not vet
been eliminated. On the other hand.
the days are passing without any i'm
provement in the goods trade, and
opposing influences seem to be caus-
ing uncertainty and restricting general
business. The comparatively narrow mar
ket resulting, is readily influenced by
Email orders, and there was increased
selling late yesterday, accompanied by
rumors of bearish semi-monthly crop
report from prominent Southern au-
thorlty. These rum0rs were not con-
nrned, but closing prices were the low
est OF the day on most positions, with
the market barely steady at a net de-
cline of to 20 points.
The market opened at an advance of
points to decline Of points. There
was no general demand, but trade in
terests were again moderate buyers
while there was scattered covering and
and after some irregularity the active
months sold about 38 to 40 points
above Wednesdays closing figures for
the new crop positions. Notwithstand-
ing reports of ar improved spot de-
mand, July was relatively easy, selling
only II points net higher, and there
were reiterated reports that low gra le
cotton was coming here from the South
for delivery. This may have con-
irlbuted to the weakness late in the
afternoon, when offerings were larger
although scattered and in hardly suf-
ncient volume to suggest any material
change in the situation.
The days weather news was gener-
ally favorable and the forecasts salts
factory, but while the crop must have
been doing somewhat better, the trade
still expected that the next official
crop report would show the lowest end
June condition on record. The great
est Improvement in condition reported
during the last ten years between the
end of May and the end of June was
5.3 points in 1914 and such an improve
nent this season would mean an end
June condition of only 677 compared
with lowest report for the end of
June previously published. This end
June report will not be published until
July 2, however, and there may be a
considerable change of sentiment be-
fore then. Unfavorable news from the
Boston wool sale may have had some
influence IN the late trading but the
selling had started before the reports
were published. Southern spot mar
ksts were unchanged to 25 points lower
The local market for spot cotton was
quiet and unchanged at 40c for mid
