FUTURE TRADING
Is AGAIN ACTIVE
Continuation of Recent Wide
Fluctuations Maintained
In Cotton Market.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-The trad
ing in cotton contracts for future
deliveries was again active today
with a continuance of the recent
wide fluctuations. On Liverpool s
strength in following the further
bullish crop reports from this side
and a continuance OF the bullish ac-
tivity there was a strong opening
here, with general buying in wheat.
the shorts were forced to cover
freely. Prices went up between so
and 20 points from yesterdays clos
ing. with October selling close to
20 cents, December 20.32. January
20.29. March 20.1s. and next May
deliveries at 20 cents.
AS was the case early yesterday
when the market bulged above the
2O-cent level for the general list,
a big profit-taking movement de-
veloped among trade interests.
There was also considerable fresh
selling from New Orleans and other
Southern accounts here. This pres
sure increased after the Liverpool
markets had closed. and with the
demand from outside sources fall
ing off sharply and the stock mar
ket developing renewed weakness,
as well as wheat, cotton prices
went off rapidly in the early after
noon.
As the market receded many
carly buyers turned sellers. thereby
showing they had not had much
confidence in their buying position
on the bulge. Prices broke until
the general list had worked below
Yesterdays closing quotations,
thereby cancelling all of the early
sharp advance.

Perfect Breakfast Hostess At
 High School Reveals Training

beyond this, and instills into each of her young pupils minds the fact that the art of serving a meal lies in the concealment of the service; that the perfect hostess is tbe one who has the appearance of letting the meal serve itself because she has planned each detail ahead. and knows exactly what she has to do.-
 Each week of the year one of the pupils is allowed to plan meal for Some of her friends. This meal is dis cussed in class, readjusted to fit the particular pupil who is giving 1t, and served by her, when the time comes, without any assistance from Miss Wingfield. In this way the girl is made to rely on her own resources, and by the time she was graduated from school can go into her own home, if necessary, and take charge of the kitchen.
 So that anyone who thinks that the art of being a good cook is going out of style has only to go out to the high school to become convinced of the contrary The art of becoming a good cook is in style-decidedly in style right now.

DENY REHEAR|NG ON TWO-L|NE HAUL CASE

Application for a rehearing of the two-line haul case was denied the Southern Pacific and Arizona Eastern railroads yesterday In denying the application the corporation commis- sion stated:
 We are constrained to remark that it must require a high degree of cour- age to make these representations in the lace of the sworn testimony of the executive officials of these two lines in direct conflict herewith.
 The commission held that it failed to find that there was new or additional evidence to be offered why the case should be opened, the applicants mere Iy reiter4ting statements that had previously been presented. The com mission, however. granted an exten- 1 sion of time until January 31, when the rates and charges made and coll 1 lected for transportation of property interchanged on the two roads will be at the rate of one-road haul. The com mission based it's ruling on the ground that the Southern Pacific is under the same management and control. This Is denied by the roads despite the
 sworn statements of officials in the records on file with the commission.

A charming little hostess was Alma Norman, as she sat before her perfectly appointed breakfast table in the do- mestic science department of the high school yesterday morning and served, to three hungry teachers, the meal which she herself had just prepared It was a Valentine breakfast, the color scheme being red and white. Red shaded candles lighted the table, and red and white favors of sweet peas and carnations reposed on each snowy nap kin. The center decoration was low bowl filled with the same fragrant flowers, interlaced with maiden h-sir ferns.
 The same color, due to excitement, was reflected in the cheeks and lips of Alma but her hands were steady as she served her guests, and her eyes did not miss one of their needs For this, you must know, was a servantless breakfast, with everything for the meal either on the table when the guests were seated, or standing close by on the tea cart. The problem which confront ed her was to serve a three course breakfast, and serve it hot, without once rising from the table. That she came through with honors goes without saying.
 FIrSt there was 1ruit puncn, or orange and straw berries served in orange cups l Next a cereal, piping hot from the cas- 1 serole with plenty of thick cream. Ther came creamed clipped beef on toast with diced beets accompanying, to car ry out the color combination. Witt this were served hot biscuits, about a: big around as a quarter, and so ligh they could almost float on air. Cof fee was made in an electric percolator placed on a side table. AS each cours,
 was finished the young hostess re
 moved the dishes to the lower shelf 0 the tea cart. on which she had arranget
 all the plates required for further serv
 ing. When the meal was over it wa pronounced perfect by the teachers wh
 were lucky enough to have partaken o
 it, and Alma was voted an excellen
 cook and hostess.
 This particular type of training i
 given by Miss Beulah Wingfield. wh
 is head of the cooking department.
 is her ambition to not only turn ou
 pupils who can cook edible food, bu
 those who can serve the food in a wa
 which will enhance its nutritive valu,
