ORLEANS COTTON
DECIDEDLY WGHER
Market Shows Sire N From the
Opening.
(Ry Associated Pressl

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 15.-Stronger
from the opening, the cotton market to-
day made a display of pronounced
strength. Highest prices came late in
the session when the active months were
So to SO points over the last quotations
of yesterday. The close was at gains Of
81 to SIS points. March traded as high as
1882 and closed at 1879.
Early gains were due to favorable ca
bles from Liverpool and much of the
demand in the late trading was caused
by private messages from the English
market reporting distinct Improvement
in Manchester. Reports from Washing
ton that legislation affecting future trad
ing had been shelved for this session of
congress, claims of a better spot de-
mand from Texas and the announcement
that the recent government figures on
the probable worlds carry over of cot
ton at the end of this season were too
high by 100000 bales. owing to errors
in calculations concerning the East In
dian crop, were features that helped to
keep the advance giong.
There was much short covering, espe-
cially after rumors were heard that
March shorts were getting out of their
contracts because OF indications that
March tenders would not be as large as
expected. The market had a firm I'M
dertone from start to finish.

BOARD HEARS PLEA
FOR LOWER WAGES
Wide Variety of Evidence Placed Be-
fore Railway Labor Board.
by Associated Pressl

CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-The United
States railway labor board today
heard arguments on the Atlanta,
Birmingham & Atlantic railways plea
for permission to reduce wages. The
case produced a wider variety of evil
dence and is said by railroad men to
be of greater Importance than any
other single line dispute yet brought
before the board.
The argument hinged on whether
the board had Jurisdiction over the
roads financial status, which fur
nished the railroads principal reason
for wanting to reduce wages. 1t de-
clared that a reduction of wages was
made imperative because the road
faced a monthly deficit Of 100000.
Summed up by Col. B. L. Bugg,
president of the road, the roads po-
sition was:
els the board going to disregard
conditions of traffic?
rs the board to fix rates regardless
of the railroads earning power?
IF the board can fix wages with
out regard to other conditions than
the claims of the employees, then it is
just as we'll that we have no represen-
tation here"
For the employees, w. S. Garter,
president of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive F'iremen and Enginemen, stat
ed his case thus:
'It mas never before been suggested
that wages be made to depend on the
financial condition of road. We are
willing to make a test case before the
courts ON the constitutionality of the
transportation act. If the contention
of the A. B. & A. stands, then on the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western,
which is able to pay twice as much,
we will come in tomorrow with a re-
quest for an increase in wages
"Representative of the A. p. & A.
were on the stand most of the day.
Colonel Bugg answered many points
of the employees argument in previous
testimony and added there was no use
to ask the interstate commerce COM
for a larger share of rates on
hauls extending beyond the A. B. &
A. lines. He said he thought the road
was receiving it's fair division.
Before any conferences were called
with employees, Col. Bugg said, officers
of the road went over all the difficult
ties and followed every thread which
promised relief before asking for a
wage reduction.
Morris Brandon. counsel for the
road, declared if the board disregard
ed inability to pay for one road it
could do so for all roads and the re-
suit would be chaos. He said the
was es granted by decision No. Of
the labor board last July were the
highest ever paid the men and were
granted under extraordinary condi-
tions when the cost of living was the
highest we've known"

EARTH TO- PASS
THROUGH "RINC"
Event Which Occurs Every Sixteen
Years Takes Place Feb. %.
by Associated .Pressl

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Feb. 15.-The in
ner ring of the planet Saturn, known to
astronomers as the crepe ring on ac-
count of the fact that is much less bril-
liant than the others, has a thickness
of 1000 miles, while the other rings are
very much thinner, according to obser-
vations made by Professor William H.
Pickering, of Harvard, at the Harvard
astronomical station at Vaudeville, ia
maica.
The thickness of the rings of Saturn
is a matter which has long attracted
the interest of astronomers. This planet
is surrounded by what appears through
a small telescope 10 be a single flat
ring of exceeding thickness. Through
a larger telescope this is seen to be in
reality three concentric rings.
Every sixteen years or so the earth
passes through the plane of these rings,
which are then in a position edgewise
to the earth. So thin are they that for
while they disappear and cannot be
seen until the earth moves out of their
plane. This phenomenon occurred on
November 7 and will occur again on Feb
ruary p and August of this year, after
which there will be no opportunity of
observing it again for sixteen years.
Professor Pickering reports that he
observed the ring just before and after
the November transit, and found the
inner ring to be thicker than the others,
estimating it to be 1000 miles thick
He also reports that in the outer edge
OF the second ring the meteors seem to
be more concentrated than elsewhere
Astronomers believe these rings to be
composed of innumerable small meteors
revolving in dense swarms about the
middle portions of the planet.
Professor Pickering hopes to make fur
Their observations during the February
transit. He is also engaged in studying
the channels on the planet Mars, and in
searching for the still undiscovered plan
ct which is believed to revolve around
the sun FAR outside the orbit of Neptune,
the outermost planet yet discovered in
the solar system.

COTTON MARKET
Is MORE ACTIVE
Better Liverpool Reports and World
Shortage Strengthens Market.
(By Associated Press)


NEW YORK, Feb 15.-The cotton
market was more active today with
prices higher on reports of an improve
ment in Liverpool and reduced figures on
the worlds available supply of all kinds
for the season . May contracts sold up
to 1850 or 81 points net higher and 73
points above the recent low level. That
month closed at M.40, with the general
market closing very steady at net
advance of Al to 81 points.
The market opened steady at an adj
vance of 5 to Is points on the firmer
Liverpool cables, and reports of better
spot demand N the English market There
was considerable southern and spot house
selling at the start, presumably against
spot business in the belt late yesterday
but the offerings were soon absorbed and
the market became firmer during the
middle of the DAY. 1t was reported that
a revision was necessary in the figures
recently issued by the bureau of markets
on the worlds available supply for the
season, owing to a reduction amounting
to 1900, 900 bales of 500 pounds in the
estimate of the East Indian crop. This,
Of course, did not affect the figures on the
supply OF American cotton but combined
with the reports of a better business in
Manchester, the firmness of sterling eX-
change and the more optimistic tone in
Wall street, evidently made a bullish inn
preston on sentiment. March contracts
sold up to 14.04 and July to 1883. making
a net advance of AZ to 81 points on the

MANY CHILDREN

Years Ago
(Ry Associated Press.)

CHICAGO, Feb. i4.-The office boy
Is going back to school. Fourteen,
fifteen and sixteen year old girl stem
ographers are reentering high school.
Failing wages in the industrial and
commercial world are sending boys
and girls. thousand on thousand of
them into the classrooms they left
when war elevated salaries lured
them away.
Increase in school membership in
the United States during 1920-21 IS
approximately 100000 over 1919 20,
according to a survey just completed
here by the Better School Service, a
bureau of the American Federation of
Teachers. In the large cities the sur
vey shows the increase has averaged
10 percent although the figure for the
whole nation IS nearer rs percent
owing TO the decline In efficiency of
the rural school. The resumption Of
immigra tion is responsible for a large
part OF this increase, the report shows,
New York and Chicago having been
forced to set up extra quarters called
steamer rooms for newly arrived
foreign children.
Estimates show that the 100000
figure for the present school member
ship of the nation must be increased
by 100000 at least" said VIM, T.
Mccoy, chairman of the Better School
Service. He continued:
Immigrants send their children to
school as quick as they land. They
show more av1dity for education than
did their predecessors in the years be-
MT Gl1
Is among the boys and girls who quit
school 10 lake advantage of high
wages in industry. Now the war in
flation is gone these young people are
swarming back into high school to fit
themselves for work other than man
ual labor.
"A greater proportion of children
from the homes of skilled and manual
laborers are seeking higher education
than ever before, due 10 the fact that
both parents and children often
worked at high wages during the war
period with the idea of spending ac-
cumulated money in further schooling
for the children. This Is shown In
the fact that the heaviest proportional
gain has been In high schools where
this age is represented.
1.-THE greatest rush Of attendance
has taxed the already oyercrowded
schools to the limit. In laBge cities
and in mining and industrial centers
schools are over-pupiled and under
teachered to the point where the work
done is bitterly unfair to the chill
dren. The increase in attendance has
come at q time when the number of
teachers is decreasing and when the
building of schools has stopped. Au-
thorities agree that the best work
can be done in school when there isl
one teacher for every 25 pupils and
yet the average for the is largest
American cities is over SO pupils per
teacher, Philadelphia having 4e, Chi
cago a., st. Louis and Milwaukee as,
New York SO. Los Angeles 81. New

These averages will grow much higher
for the increase in numbers of pupils
