PEOPLE WHO woRsHIPED SUN

From Sun-Chlld. by Geneyieve Tag
 gard in Asia Magazine
 Of course the grownups couldn't be expected to know how subtle the changes are in Hawaii or how, as he day grows yellower and yeilower' making brighter and brighter sun splotches between deep green leaves. you must be forever keeping pace with this, or give up calling the Sun your com mpanion--and perhaps give up having Yellow as a name. These grownups sometimes kindly tried to amuse Yellow. They could not see that she war far. far beyond being amused. And they often asked her to do things that were direct contradic- ton to her game with the sun
 For instance, once at noons very hottest, drowsiest and sultriest when bees boomed deep in the flowers of the kiawe. or carob-tree, and the sea slept with It's head between it's paws against the sand, they asked ner to gather ginger-flowers and make leis.
 Now anybody who Is half child knows that ginger-flowers belong root and stem to dewy evenings, when there are delicate lines of gre en and lavender in the sky and the sound of fishing birds cc,ling in over the low reefs
 She gathered the flowers. They seemed a little surprised and Yellow felt that there was much meaning in the cloud that covered the sun for moment, as if the sun said, "oh, dear, you didn't understand, after all. drought you did.
 After this she worked very hard to retrieve herself with the sun She drew deep arch on the sand. This . ,arf and along the line of the arch she fit ted shells from the palest shades of the morning to the very deep yellow of noon and then. as afternoon fell to the sea, put in pink shells for sun set
 An old Hawaiian came down and watched her. He had & stick between his hands and faded denim clothes.
 She pointed to the sun and he nodded.
 My name Is Yellow" she said
 Yellow and the old man talked and talked. She had more to say to him than she had ever had to say to any grownup she had ever known. In fact he quite redeemed all grownups for her as he told her the story Of the people who worshiped the sun.
 Like you" he said, taking his eyes from the sea for minute to look at her.
 They were a young people. Not like these now, these white men and women," he said. They fitted this country. They were just as old as 1t looks, and that Is not old--not old and very merry and new every nor ming, withfno clouds left from yester- day. no old rain. They moved about under the sui. like It's own brown shadows. with flowers around their waist. and they threw themselves Into the sea and held 1t in their arms and pretended to go to sleep in it's em- brace. Afterwards they would wrestie

RED CROSS WORK ALL OVER WORLD
 SHOWS GROWTH
Forty-Three Disasters Rang ing From GraSShopper Plague to Chinese
 Famine
By BRIGGS
By Associated Press

Washington, october 81.--Forty three disasters. ranging from th> grasshopper plague in North Da- kota to the Chinese famine, called for emergency relief measures by the American Red Cross during the fis cal year ending last June 30, accord ing to the portion of the society's annual report dealing with peace time service, made public today
 The disasters resulted in tie death in the United States of $50 persons and the Injury of 2,500, caused prop erty damage estimated at S30.000.000, affected communities and rendered 65,000 families homeless. Attendant relief activities resulted in an ex- penditure by the Red Cross of S1,- SS1,ODO.
 The summary of the years dis asters as given in the report showed that Red Cross relief was furnished in the case of IT fires, five floods, seven tornadoes or cyclones one de- vastating storm, three explosions, including the one in Wall street; one building accident, two typhoid epi- denies, the more serious being that at Salem. O., which affected nine per cent of the population; a small pox epidemic in Haiti, train wreck, the Tulsa. Okla, race riot. the fam inc in China, affecting millions of persons, the famine among the In- dians of Alaska, the grasshopper plague in North Dakota and an earthquake in Italy
 The most serious disaster In the United States was the Pueblo flood last June, in which the Red Cross assisted in rehabilitation.
 In marked contrast with the pre- Ni0tlc only a iq ac the proportions aof a major disaster, the report said. This occurred last April in the border sections of Texas and Arkansas with the city of Tex arkana as the center. The famine in China, calling for expenditure by the Red Cross of more than $1 ,000 000, was the most serious of foreign dis asters in which the organization gave aid.
 The report declared an increasing effectiveness on the part of the Red Cross to deal with emergencies was manifest during the year. Through it's chain of chapters. linking virtual ly every county in the county with national headquarters at Washing ton, the Red Cross. it was said, has established network of cdmmunica- ton through which instantaneous re- liet may be dispatched to any part of the United States.
 Through its nursing service. it's home hygiene and care of the sick. nutrition, first aid, and life-saying classes and health centers, and in nu- merous other ways designed to ac- quaint masses of citizens with proper methods of living, the Red Cross car ried its message of health into all parts of the country. The American Red Cross nursing service, the re- serve of the army, navy and public health service, at the end of the year had enrolled S7,787 nurses, an increase of 1,0S4 over last year. More than 7S,000 certificates were issued to women and girls who completed the Red Cross course in home hygiene and care of the sick and through it's 260 health centers, the Red Cross reached so,252 persons with health in- formation.

 DOWN EARLY RISE
 IN NCOTT0N PRICES
General Market Closed Steady at a Net Decline of Twenty Three to Forty-Three
 Points on Day

New York. October S1.-An early advance In the cotton market was followed by declines under renewed liquidation accompanied by talk of a disappointing trade demand and in- creased southern selling. JanuaI contracts broke from 1S.SSc to 1S.15c 1S.60c at the close of last week, with the general market closing steady at a net decline of 23 to 43 points
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of lT to 30 points on the higher Liverpool cables and covering There may have been some scattered buying on reports that two representatives of the bureau of markets recently re- turned from abroad estimated for eign consumption of Ameri can cot ton this season at from 10 to IS per cent in excess of last year. No gen eral or aggressive demand developed, however, and the market soon turned easier on liquidation by early buyers and renewal of western, Wall street and southern selling.
 Offerings seemed to grow heavier as prices worked lower, and the mar ket was weak and unsettled during the afternoon. selling off from 1S.esc, lue early hlBn leNel, 10 lo.3Uc TOT be eember, and from 1S.75c to is.0sc for March, or about 35 to 45 points net lower on the general list. Last prices were only 8 few points up from the lowest on covering.
 There was a little trade buying In the market here on scale down, but It appeared to be outweighed by in- creased southern hedge selling, and the market was unsettled by a contin- uation of near month liquidation. fn some cases sellers of December bought the later deliveries and the spring months were relatively firm. X preliminary estimate by a Chicago authority placing the cotton crop at 6,62i,000 bales of 800 pounds net weight and tho percentage of the crop picked at s3, attracted no spe- cial comment and failed to check the afternoon decline. Private cables said Liverpool had advanced on cov- ering, but had encountered hedging and Manchester selling

NEW YORK COTTON By Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 


 New Orleans. October 31.-The early trading in cotton today brought ad- vances over last weeks close of 2l to 26 points, but after December touched 1s.40c a pound selling pres sure appeared and during much ot the remainder of the session it was felt. In the late trading prices were driven 70 to 45 points under the close of Saturday and last prices were 40 to A. under. December fell to l775c, and closed at that price.
 On the opening values were helped by better Liverpool than due and by favorable opinion of weekly textile trade reviews, but after their effects wore off. offerings became heavier on the lack of any special trading in the spot department. As the market fell away. considerable liquidation came from the long side and much of this, to all appearances, was due to the holiday here tomor- row in observance of All Saints Day.
 During the course of the decline the market had its small upturns. but none of them was sustained for any length of time. nor did the market run Into any real support after the early trading was over. although much bullish comment was aroused by private crop estimate of 6,621,- 900 bales, accompanied by the claim that the crop was s3 per cent picked.

Birmingham. October S1-Liverpooi came over this morning slight ly better than due, the sales at 1000 were light, however. but quota tions advanced further after our mar kets had opened, 20 to 35 points above Saturdays close, but the advance both in our markets and Liverpool did not hold after the first hours session. The advance seemed to bring in heavy selling orders. Finding no resistance the bears took things in their hands and the market depressed during the entire session, the finals being around hc per bale decline under Saturdays figures.
 private report issued by a large house estimated the ginnings at 6,621 900. stating 93 per cent had been picked This makes a crop a little above II. Trade paid little atten- tion to the figures, however. The ginning report November some be- lieve will show marked falling off in the total for the period between october IS and November l.

PriuQte Wires Report Not Any Too Much Life In Market Trading
SHANNON < CO.'S LETTER.

New York, October .)- While there has been rallies at times in cotton. these have not been main tained, as demand has failed to broaden on the upturns, and sellers have gained confidence from that to keep prices under pressure in spite of various fits of bullish news on the spot situation and outlook, including a report that German mills are buy ing for delivery from January to July and that the continental consumption promises to shoM a substantial in crease over last year.
 As long as sellers outnumber buy CTS it cannot be expected that the market will advance, in spite of the constantly growing strength of the technical position which will, we be- lieve, assert itself In an important way in the long run. We hear of ho weakness in spots or any impending pressure from that quarter.
 The stock market has run true to form today. in that Monday has been reaction day for some time. The best feature of the situation Is the great dullness which has come after -his only moderate setback, and when a market acts this way and gets dull on the reaction 1t is the best indica- tion that 1t Is a bull market, a5 in the great bear markets such as that of late 1919-1920 and 1921 the mar ket got dull on all rallies and persist ed in refusing to hold the improve ment. There has not been a great deal of news come to hand today, and it has been at the best, drift ing, desultory sort of market. Under the ordinary rule of the swing, the market should commence to pick up again by tomorrow night. Sales 732,- 400.-Post & Flagg.

Rx A.sociated Press

New York, October 31.-Fluctua tions in the stock market today were confusing, issues of the same discrip- tion frequently moving in opposite directions. Dealings were farly large but again subject to the manoeuvers of professional traders.
 Money rates furnished an excuse for the markets unstable course. Call loans opened at 5h per cent. relaxed to 5 per cent at midday and suddenly hardened to per cont in the final hour.
 Developments over the weekend offered little encouragement to the bull accounts. Railroad tonnage showed irregular decreases and busi- ness gains 1t prominent centers were neutralized by further price reduc- tions for important industries.
 Independent steel producers were reported to be contemplating lower prices for structural steel and other Fabricated materials and substantial cuts were announced by manufactur- CTS of motor trucks and rubber tires.
 Among market leaders Mexican Pc troleum was heaviest at an extreme decline of nearly 8 points, the stock being under greatest pressure in the last hour and unsettling the entire list.
 Rails iapsed into the duiiness shown by that group prior to the strike settlement and equipments, mo- tors and food shares were heavy. Wilson and company. common and preferred, made gross declines of to 10 points. Officials of the com pany were quoted as being unable to account for the weakness of those issues.
 Foreign exchanges were irregular, the French rate being the only in- portant remittance to display strength. German, Scandinavian and central Europe rates were variably lower.
 Trading in bonds was moderate with an uneven tone. Liberty issues closed mostly at slight gains, rails were uncertain and mixed changes ruled internationals. Total sales, par value $14,376.000
