We had another dull session in the
stock market Saturday. During the first
hour there was practically no commission
house business 10 speak of, with the ex-
ception of some liquidation in Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. The professional ele-
ment, who have, in the past, taken ad-
vantage Of the absence Of commission
house business, apparently were not dis
posed to, do much.
Later in the session there was a mod
crate amount Of liquidation, as well as
professional selling of Northern Pacific
and Great Northern. The industrials as
a rule were steady, and subsequently
there was an improvement in a number
Of active issues.
Considering prevailing conditions here
and the serious state of affairs in Eng
land, the stock market is displaying re-
markable stability and can only be ex-
planned on the theory that because con-
6itions are so very serious, that any
change over the weekend is likely to be
for the better.
It is just likely that in the near fu-
ture the market operations will disclose
a few more weak spots during which time
liquidation will be completed, and then
the market will simply rest on its pres
ent foundation until the changes have
occurred in foreign affairs and in busi-
ness to warrant greater activity and an
increase in the investment demand for
our securities.

CHICAGO STOCKS.
(By Thomson & McKinnon.)
In the Cotton Market

NEW YORK, April 11.-Improvement
in the British labor news, with stronger
cables from Liverpool, induced heavy
buying of cotton by Liverpool and Wall
street, at the opening of the market
today.
New Orleans and other southern points
supplied most of the offerings early.
Prices rose further after the start, but
the list met increased pressure which
subsequently caused reactions Of about
10 points from the top.

Sleepy Students
Must Be Diplomats

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, April 90
Harvard is trying efficiency on its
goodies" The latter are the women
who fix up the rooms in the college
dormitories and the late sleeper
among the students is the first to feel
the effects.
Rumor has It that the goodies
must report late sleepers and that
some OF the marathon snorers of the
Harvard contingent have been caught
Some sort OF truce has been affected
so that the prosecuted Undergraduate
may pound his ear" so long as he
pleases, if he makes rangements with
the goodies"

WEATHER CONDITrONS.

The cool wave is now passing across
the eastern part of the country, having
caused killing frosts last night far
south as the Ohio Valley. and lighter
frosts over the Mississippi Valley to
northern Louisiana. Sunday morning
killing frosts prevailed west of the Mis-
sissippi a. far south as southern Kansas
and the Texas Panhandle. Temperatures
are now rising over the country west of
the Lakes region and Ohio Valley, and
the readings are near or above normal
for the season over much of the west and
northwest. Aside from light precipita-
ton In east central sections, the weather
during the last twenty -four hours has
been fair. j. II. ARMINGTON,

Cotton Letter

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE prospect
for a settlement of the labor controversy
in England was undoubtedly the chief
cause for the strength in the Liverpool
market this morning, though reports
from Manchester show improved condi
ton and a better demand for goods.
Trade In this country has not made the
progress that was anticipated and some
of the reports from the New England
textile district are rather pesslmistic.
The point is made that owing to the diff
ference in wages between the New Eng
land and southern mills, the southern
mills are getting an advantage in
business.
Although prices were substantially
higher here, there was no great activity
at any time during the session.
In the event of a further advance we
would suggest profit taking on long cot
ton.

Women Deny They
Dress ImmOdestly

LONDON, April 11.-English women
are up in arms over the statements of
several prominent clergymen about the
immodesty of present-day dress.
II cannot think where they have seen
the dresses that they describe" said
Lady Alexander, generally considered to
be London's best addressed woman. Il
think that modern women's dress is
charming and more modest than it has
been for generations, in addition to the
hygienic value that it has gained in re-
cent years.

STOCK MARKET
BUSINESS SMALL
Practically All Issues Open
FractiOnally Higher.

NEW YORK, April IA further i'm
provement in the weekend bank state
ments and the better advices from Eng
land regarding the coal strike crisis were
influential in causing advances from frac-
lions to l point at the opening of the
stock market today.
Business was on very small scale,
however.
General Asphalt rose 1 point to 61A.
Studebaker advanced nearly 1 point to
u and United States Rubber rose y OF
a point to 1884.
Steel common was unchanged at 81.
Baldwin and Crucible hung around
Saturdays closing level
Mexican Petroleum rose to 40, while
Royal Dutch sold up over points to 604
Atlantic Gulf, after selling up q OF a
point to 1864, quickly lost this advance.
The rails were fractionally higher.
The irregular tone of the market in
the first fifteen minutes was followed by
activity and strength in many issues, de-
spite the fact that the renewal rate for
call money was fixed at per cent, the
highest for several weeks.
Sears ROebuck was in demand, ad-
vancing over points to 1914. while
American Linseed was weak, falling 3
points to 10.
The motor stocks were strong. The
steel issues also showed a better tone.

ART OF LIVING
Civilized Methods Benefit
Heather Nations but
Little.
SHOULD BE LET ALONE

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Thousands OF
wealthy persons are now booking trips
to Hawaii and a good many to Tahiti
and other South Sea islands These places,
of which you seldom heard a few years
ago, are now in all the prints. Numerous
books are written about them. Pictures
of them are painted. They are the fad.
And the romantic element in each or
these places-the real center of interest
is native population which still wears
picturesque clothes and follows pic
turesque native customs. The civilized
man seems suddenly TO have discovered
that the primitive man is an interesting
chap, worth knowing for his own sake.
When you come to think about it, this
attitude toward the Tahitians and the
is probably the beginning Of
a great change in the attitude of ciViliza-
ton toward savagery. Only consider
what the attitude toward the savage has
been in the past. First he must be con-
quered. Every savage or primitive people
on the face of the globe has been more or
less shot up by some civilized nation.
Then the savage must be civilized. He
must be given clothes and religion. He
must be taught to farm and make change.
Incidentally, he has nearly always been
introduced to whisky, morphine, cocaine,
tuberculosis, and various other perqui
sites of civilization
The civilizing process has been almost
as hard on the savage as being con-
quered. The classic case of the Hawai-
ians who were induced by the mission
aries to wear clothes, with the result
that they all caught cold and many OF
them died, is typical 1t may be said
that almost no part of civilization has
really benefited the savage He simply
isn't ready for it. His only hope OF
survival is to be allowed to go on being
a savage in peace. And that is what,
at least, the civilized man seems in

NOSE RINGS AND
HOBBLE SPIRITS.

One woman scientist, Elsie Clews Par
sons, has gone still further and shown
that most of the queer beliefs, customs,
taboOs and superstitiOns of primitive
life, which we ridicule. survive In some
form in civilization. She has shown that
the hobble skirt is very near relation
to the nose ring. Some of our lively
parties" are savage orgies with little
changed except the costumes. Many. If
not most of our politicians, are medicine
men and the heap big medicine they Of
fer us is no better than the dope the
tribal shamans hand out.
In a word. there Is reason to suspect
that we are not as far ahead of the saw
ages as we thought we were. The saw
ages seem to have suspected this all
along. They. have chung to their own
way of life and rejected our civilization
with the utmost determination.
An excellent example of the whole
process is afforded by the Pueblo Indians
Of our own Southwest. The Spaniards
began trying to civilize them nearly 800
years ago. They toiled unremittingly
for several centuries and then the Yam
KEGS took up the good work. The Pueblos
staged one big revolt and drove all the
white men out of the country, but they
were not good fighters and ultimately
they settled down to passive resistance
1t has been astonishingly successful.
After four or five centuries of hard work
by two great civilized nations, the Pueblo
is in all essentials unchanged. Although
church stands in every pueblo, the
Pueblo Indian still worships his print.
tive gods. Although a school stands
there, too, he remains gloriously ignorant
of books. He still weaves and wears his
own blankets, builds his own house,
makes his own pottery, cultivates the
ground and hunts the wild things as his
fathers did. Taos Pueblo in New Mexico
today is just as Coronado described It
In the seventeenth century.
Now artists have begun to flock to that
vicinity, and there is a growing move.
ment to let the Pueblo be as he is, fol
his own sake, and for the sake of art.
The artists and the Indians get along
admirably together. Both Of them have
a fine appreciation of color and of nat
ural beauty and Of the mystery of ma
ture. Both of them dislike the restraints
and the ugliness of civilization. 1t may
be that after soldiers, missionaries and
educators have failed the artist will be
the savage's 0alvation.

ARTISTS COMES TO
AID OF SAVAGE.

1t really seems to be the artist who
has come to the rescue of the savage.
Take the case Of Tahiti Some years
ago a French painter named Gauguin
went to that remote island. He stayed
there the rest Of his life, living with
the natives and painting them. He be-
came famous. He suddenly called the at
tention of the civilized world to the fact
that the TahitianS were a most pictures
que and beautiful people, who should
be preserved as they are, like any other
wonderful nature. not converted into
commonplace civilized persons. Then
Somerset Vaughan, an English novelist
wrote a novel> based on the life OF
GauGuin. and in this he told most effec-
lively how the great artist, battered by
the ugliness of commercialism. had
found beauty and peace in the tropical
island.
Third came another artist In words.
Frederick O'Brien, and wrote a book
about Tahiti and neighboring Islands
which was one of the most popular travel
books ever written. In effect all three
Of these artists were apolog!Sts for the
savage as he is. They said, in the first
place, that he Is a picturesque and in
teresting fellow, who is not bothering any
one, ana VINO ought TO be allowed to
live his life as he pleases both for his
own sake and for that of the rest Of hui
manity. In the second place, these art
lists intimated that perhaps civilization
is not such blessed thing as it Is
crack up to be-that possibly the civil
lized man could even learn something
about the art of living from the savage.
Such a thought would have been CON
sidered insane a generation ago. Today
It is merely regarded as mildly heretical
The new and thriving science OF an
thropology also comes to the support of
the artist in this contention. The an
thropologlsts have been studying print
tive men with unusual zeal. They find
that in some respects at least he may be
considered the superior of the civilized
man. For instance, the primitive man
has a better sense of beauty. His pot
terry, his weavings, his dwellings, his
dances. his ceremonies, are all picturesque
and often of high artistic merit In
civilization the real appreciation of beauty
seems to be limited to very few. The
majority of us have lost all taste. The
things We use and wear, the houses we
live in, our dances and ceremonies are
for the most part ugly and often even
grotesque.
