MUCH COTTON NOW HELD
 IS OF VERY LOW GRADE

Montgomery, September 2.-(Spe- cial)--An important part of the of- flcial report on cotton issued yester- day which did not seem to receive notice at the time, related to the proportion of cotton held by farmers and not in storage which Is unten- derable on future contracts by req son of low grade. Inquiry through the regular sources disclosed the fact that 13.o peS cent of all such holdings on July 3l was not tender able.
 According to information available about 2,492,000 bales of cotton were held outside of congresses and pub lie warehouses at the end of the cotton year, July 3l. A year ago only 500,000 bales were so held, but two years ago 1,150,000 bales were held outside of storage. presumably cn farms. Apparently about 336,000 bales are now on farms which is not tenderable on future contracts by reason of its low grade. and would therefore be of small relative value.

Here Is one of Birmingham's so- ciety girls who is almost a real lit-
 tie actress without trying bit. She IS
 Miss Mary Alice Eastwood, with a
 mop of red gold hair, pair of hazel eyes and just the accent, and way
 with her-that bespeaks the old tim9 South.
 Just let Miss Eastwood quite nat urafly turn her head sidways and in spite of yourself you are engrossed in the picture. Just let her smile her lit- tie twisted smile a you and you could
 fancy you were watching heroine in
 motion picture show. She doesn't seem to know she is clever; in fact
 she is so busy being herself and the embodiment of youth, that she doesn't seem to think of herself at all.
 Miss Eastwood makes the cleverest little sketches and water coIors-and even has done some oil painting. A
 great many people think that art is her forte.
 However, she hasn't decided upon
 that yet. and will go away to school this year. She is now in Pittsburg as , the guest of Mrs. A. M, Lynn, having gone there from Lake Placid, New
 York, where she has been spending
 the summer.-Photo by J. F. Knox.

SEEK TO SAVE LUDLOW JAIL
Members of Greater New York "Ali.
mony Club" Don't Want Their
Famous Home Converted.

The Ludlow street Jail. where mem
bers of the Greater New York "Alimony
club" have frittered away much p!eas-
urable time, appears to be doomed.
Sheriff David H. Knott thinks a far
more profitable use could be made by
the city Of the historic structure. The
plan is to send the Ludlowers to some
other city institution, scatter them, If
necessary, through a number Of build
ings, for 1t Is now costing $4,000 an
nually to keep their present home
going.
The proposal has eliminated in a
"save-the-jail" agitation among those
who have s%ojourned in Ludlow. There
is deep sentiment, it seems, in hav-
ing been a guest" The Ludlow
street Jail al built by Boss Tweed,
his name being Inscribed onsthe build
ing erected in 1859. His desk and
chair are still in the room where. he
died a prisoner in 1878. Besides
Tweed the Jail has sheltered many
famous men, including the members
Of the brokerage firm who traded on
the name Of General Grant and swim
died thousands. Whitaker Wright,
the British Wallingford, lived there
for a spell, and showed his sports
manship by contributing 500 to the
other prisoners for fireworks one
Fourth Of July. :
But it is as the established home
for staIwart men who refused to be
subservient TO "the weaker sex" that
Ludlow's fame spread throughout; the
land. Poets and actors, journalists
and musicians, bankers and laboring
men all have met there to fan the
flame Of resistance to the payment
Of alimony.

New Blood IN Cancer Treatment

Rollin reported at a meeting Of the
Hamburg Medical society that two
persons with extensive and advanced
gastric cancer were treated by In
tragluteal injection Of 2 &C. Of blood,
twice a week, from their grown-up
children. Both improved yisibly, the
h%emoglobin percentage rose and the
weight increased as appetite returned,
and the earning capacity was restored.
Rollin had reasoned that there must
be something in the blood Of the young
that prevents the development Of can
Ger, and hence that there would be
advantage In injecting It in cases Of
cancer.
The Medizinische Klinik relates that
Kummel gave this method a trial In
three cases Of cancer, injecting the
blood Of young relatives. The gen.
eral health improved, but this benefit
was transient. The malignant disease
itself was not Influenced.

PUT TALENT TO LITTLE USE
Horace. w9Ipe'' Chiefly Fameus Ter
Making Collection Of Curious and
Valuable objects,

The death Of Horace Walpo1e on
March 2, 1797, calls to mind a collec-
ton Of curious and valuable objects
which he had collected In his famous
country seat, Strawberry Hill.
One article Of great elegance was
a silver bell which had been made by
Benvenuto Celllni for Pope Clement
VII, with a rich display Of carving on
the exterior representing serpents,
flies, grasshoppers and other objec.
tionable insects, the purpose Of the
bell having been to serve a papal ours
ing Of these animals when they be-
came 90 troublesome to demand that
mode Of castigation.
Another curious article suggesting
the beliefs Of q past age was the
Shew-stone Of Doctor Dee, q piece OF
polished camel coal which had been
used by that celebrate1e mystic as a
mirror in which to see spirits. But
we Of this generation and In what we
are pleased to call the age Of snllght-
eminent have our crystal gazers, astrol-
ogers and oulja boards, although they
are not being used or believed by the
community en- masse.
But the glories Of Strawberry Hill
have come to an end and way back
In ~ the entire collection passed un-
der the hammer and was dispersed
In q sale which lasted almost four
weeks. Throngs came to- see the home
Of the man who devoted his no mean
talents to the pursuit Of triding i'm
portance-"piling up triaes to a cOlos'
sal height and making a pyramid OF
nothing"

ness" including, such favorites as
Lila Lee, Lois Wilson, Jack Holt and
Conrad Nagel. -:
