NEW YORK, April 13.-Less favorable re-
ports Of the British labor situation and a
sharp break in Liverpool had an unsettling
effect in the cotton market here at the
openn gtoday. First prices were barely
steady at a decline of II to 10 points under
liquidation and southern and Liverpool
selling of near months. Some of the Liver
POOL houses were buyers of later deliveries,
however, while there was also a moderate
demand, believed to be for japanese and
Wall street accounts, which steadied
the market. May sold up from 11.93c to
12.02c and July from 12.52c to 1850, and
the buying was encouraged by reports of
better tone in the goods market. Liverpool
cable advices reported better spot demand
in the English market.
Prices held steady during the morning,
owing to the absence of any important SELL
ing pressure and reports Of encouraging
trade prospects in Manchester. One of the
private cables received in New Orleans pre-
dicted that all Manchester mills would go
on full time within three weeks. should the
labor troubles be settled. Toward mid
day, however, the market turned easier, July
declining from 1852 to 12.47 with the
general list ruling about % to 80 points
net lower early in the noon hour.
After selling off to 1912 for July, or
about 80 to 50 points net lower the market
steadiad a few points on covering and was

Where Ice Makes Crops.

We are accustomed to think OF
Alaska as moist part of the world,
but except in the southern portion it
is rather arid, having rainfall in
sufficient for the production of crops.
When an area is first cleared for
planting the soil is moist enough, be-
ing frozen nearly to the surface the
year around. Then the ice in the
ground gradually melts, so that the
first few crops require only slight
rainfall-the melting of the ice furn-
fishing sufficient moisture to the roots
Of the growing plants.
In the course of few years, how
ever, the ice recedes to depth of six
Or more feet, and this reservoir OF
moisture is no longer available for the
crops. 1t then becomes necessary to
resort to various expedients, such as
"mulching,' for hindering evaporation
and economizing the available water.

DIFFICULT TO HANDLE FORKS
When First introduced, Diners Could
See Little of Benefit in the
Innovation.

1t is hard to believe the sensation
produced when forks first came into
use. 1t was in 1874, at dinner given
by Henry III Of France Here is an
account by royal lady guest. 'The
guests never touched the meat with
they carried to their mouths, bending
their necks and bodies over their
plates.
"There were several salads. These
they ate with forks, for it is not con-
sidered proper to touch the food with
the fingers. However difficult it may
be to manage it, it is thought better to
put the little forked instrument in the
mouth than the fingers.
"The artichokes, asparagus, peas
and beans were brought. 1t was a
pleasure to watch them try to eat
these with their forks, for some, who
were less adroit than the others,
dropped as many on their plates and
on the way to the mouth as they were
able to get to their mouths.
"Afterward a great silver basin and
q pitcher of water were brought and
the guests washed their hands, though
it seems as if there would not be much
scent of meat and grease on them, for
they had touched their food only with
those forked instruments. Ladies

Trickinq Fate.

Every Hindoo must have q son to
perform the proper rites in his behalf
so that he may be released from pur
gatory after death. Especially cursed,
therefore, is he whose fate is to be
sonless. One such, Brahman, pro-
pitiated the god Vishnu and obtained
a boon. He asked for son, but,
since a son was not in the mans fate,
Vishnu refused. Twice this happened,
but the third time the Brahman asked
that his merriments might be shared
by gods and men alike. This was
granted. He then went home, locked
his door and, with his wife, began to
sing and dance. Thereupon, all the
gods and men, by the terms of the
boon, were compelled to sing and
dance with him, and the business Of
the universe was brought to a stand
still. "Stop!" begged the gods. "Only
when you grant me son." answered
the Brahman. And he had his way

RED CROSS WORKING
FOR HEALTHIER U. S.
Thousands Aided by instruction
in Care of the Sick, Food Sc
lection and First Aid.

How the American Red Cross guides
thousands of persons to health Is
shown In a summary Of the society's
activities In the health field based
upon the annual report for the last fis-
cal year. Through its Nursing Service,
It's Home Hygiene and Care Of the
Sick courses, nutrition classes, First
Air classes, Life Saving classes and
Health Centers and In numerous other
ways designed to acquaint masses of
citizens with proper methods of living,
the Red Cross carried it's message of
health into all parts Of the country.
The work of the Red Cross during
the war in it's traditional field Of nurs-
ing, furnishing the military and naval
establishments of the nation with 49,
877 nurses, is well known. And there
are today 37,787 nurses registered with
the American Red Cross and subject
to call in emergency. During the fis-
cal year, 1,551 Red Cross nurses were
accepted for assignment to Govern
ment service, 388 by the Army and
Navy and 1,163 by the United States
Public Health Service.
In addition to the nurses enrolled
by the Red Cross for Government sery-
ice, the Red Cross itself employed
total of 1,348 public health nurses in
the United States and Europe. By far
the greatest number was employed in
the United States, 1857, while 81 were
in foreign service.
Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick
classes, giving thorough instruction in
the proper care of the sick in instances
where the Illness is not so serious as to
require professional nursing care, dur
ing the fiscal year numbered 5,179. A
statistical picture of the Red Cross
operations in this field follows:

year .............. o,IS

In addition to the above, total of
22,OO6 children were given instruction
in the proper selection and prepare
ton of foods.
Through it's 26O Health Centers, the
Red Cross reached 9O252 persons. In
these Health Centers, 4,O15 health lee
lures were given and 780 health ex-
hibits held.
In the United States last year, 75,-
432 persons were killed and 100000
injured in industrial accidents. To
prevent this enormous waste the Red
Cross held 800 first aid classes with
a total of 104 900 students enrolled.

FATHER OF MODERN SPINNING
invention of Samuel Crompton, Eng
Iishman, of Immense Importance
to the Western World.

At one time muslins were imported
from India for the reason that English
spinners were unable to produce yarn
fine enough for the manufacture Of
such delicate fabrics.
The invention of Arkwright, by
which spinning with rollers was used,
and Hargreaves, with his spinning
jenny, led the way for Crompton to
combine both of those inventions in
his mule, thereby enabling spinners
to draw out long threads in large
numbers to more tenuity than had
ever been done by the East Indians.
This invention enabled Lancashire
to assume the first place as Gotten
spinner to the world. Samuel Cromp-
ton was born December 3, 1853, at Fir
wood. He came of the farming class
and had rather good education. I'm
the death of his father his mother
carried on the farm and set Samuel
to spinning at home. Five years after
his majority he completed his mule.
'.his mind during that time being in
continual endeavor to realize more
perfect principle of spinning.
This he did at the expense of every
shilling he had; and he gave his in
yention to the world, but in such a
way that he gained no credit. Years

RED CROSS RESCUED
100000 FROM DEATH
Spent $1,2OO,O0O for Relief Of
Famine Sufferers in China
Last Year.

To help overcome conditions Of acute
distress in five famine stricken prov
inces Of Northern China, where mil
lions of persons were affe cted by an
unprecedented shortage of food, the
American Red Cross during the last
fiscal year spent more than $1,2OO,OOO,
s1.OOO.OOO of which was contributed d.
recty by National Headquarters and
the remainder by various groups in
terested in the welfare Of China.
Through the wide relief operations
thus made possible it is estimated that
more than 100000 famine sufferers
were saved from starvation.
To the end that similar prompt re-
lief measures by the organization may
always be possible the Red Cross is
asking continued support by the Amer
lean people by universal renewal Of
membership at the Annual Red Cross
Roll Call, November IL to "a.
The method of relief employed by
the American Red Cross in It's opera
lions in China was particularly effec-
tive. for in addition to saving hundreds
Of thousands of lives it provided China
with more than 900 miles of permanent
roads that are sorely needed to pre-
vent a recurrence of famine. At one
time the Red Cross employed $4,000
Chinese workmen. paying them in food
for themselves and dependents, this
food being brought in from Manchuria
and lsewhere.

mics Of the Canine Race.

A story calculated to make dog
haters grit their teeth finds it's way
into print, remarks the New York
Tribune. An East side collie awak
ened his master, told him things were
not as they should be, and then Sc
cured a prompt turning In of a fire
alarm, which saved many lives.

develops. With this as basis the
dog haterS have secured a code whose
severity is sue. that once in a while
il naturally breaks down some dogs
nervous system. Leashed and wear
ing a mask or jaw straps, mans best
friend is denied normal life. If, his
patience exhausted and his temper
frayed, he bites anything, no matter
whether by accident or with ample
Justification, he is thrown into Jail
without trial. Not satisfied with
this, there is constant cutlery for
a practical determination of the spe-
cies, with only enough left to pro-
vide raw material for vivisectionists.

in one column the number of human

be one wherein life insurance rates
would be raised.

never been satisfactorily explained.

him. He can scarcely be said to take
pleasure In his malignancy, for he
is gloomy and somber, yet he stub
bOrnly clings to his frenzy, putting in
time inventing calumnies which one
look into a dogs honest and loyal eyes
sufficiently refute.
