Cotton Goods Advance

An active market in gray or unfn-
ished cotton goods yesterday led to
appreciate advances N several con-
structions. The standard $3.50, 3s1a
inch print cloths were quoted as high
as cents yard for spot deliveries.
which represented gain Of 1s-cent
from thc price asked on Saturday.
Buying of print cloths was fairly heavy,
according to several brokers. Finer
constructions led the market, with
sheetngs also active.

Silk Aspect Brighter

Silk merchants believe that with
the middle of September business will
show marked Improvement Accord
ing to letters received by several local
houses. many buyers expect to enter
the market at that time The trade at
presen mt presents a paradox Although
retailers arr said TO be selling more
yardage than normally, their orders
continue to be about one-hird Of nor
nal size. The opinion that retailers
must soon deviate from their cautious
buying policy because of low stocks
has gained considerable credence in
the trade

Praises Lasker's Work
Points Out the Stupendous
Task and Shows Neces-
sity of Engaging Experts

Elmer Sehlesinger, general counsel
Of the United States Shipping Board
in ar exclusive interview given to The
Tribune, yesterday, told Of the means
by which Chairman Albert d. Lasker
il building up business organization
in that srm Of the government and the
problems confronting him.
He also commented on the criticism
that has been made Of salaries paid n
8 number OF officials in the operating
and legal departments and invited at
ten.ioa to the incomes Of officers of
the coun,rys greatest commercial and
industrial corporations, none Of which.
he said. compared in assets or volume
of business with that OF the board. He
dwelt upon the high caliber and expert
ence Of the men now in the board s
employ, whose appointments have been
the cause OF objection solely on ac-
count Of the salary attached to the
Office.
According to the list Of those receiv-
ing $4,000 q year or more, made pub
lie by the general counsel. it is pathet-
icsNy small, ne declared. compared
with salaries paid TO big men in civil
life, whose sponsibilities were not
any greater than OF those now on the
roster o. the board in like position Of
trust. He particularly compared the
stipend paid to members of his own
staff, each an expert, entitled to the
fees paid the country's greatest law
ysrs many Of whom are engaged In
prosecuting suits against the govern
mert, amounting TO millions OF dol
lars.
Documents Loosely Drawn
One of his striking points was the
revelation that contracts involving mil
lions was drawn up by $500 year
men with the result that the board is
now obliged 60 defend itself in ligita-
tion arising from the loosely drawn
documents
The case OF the United States Mail
Steamship Company was due in part.
Mr. Schlesinger insisted, to the manner
in which the contract was drawn

Disagree over Famous Vine.

On Roanoke island, off the North
Carolina coast, stands an ancient
Scuppernong vine. 1t is near the
grave of Virginia Dare and the site of
the Lost Colony" Nobody knows the
age OF that vine, burt many nearby
vines, which seem more youthful by
comparison, actually are known to be
more than one hundred years old.
A regional contribution to Ameri-
can mythology credits Sir Walter
Raleigh with having planted the vine
where 1t now stands, and further
claims are that 1t Is the original Soup
pernong. Unimaginative investigators.
however, say that the original Soup
pernong grew wild in Tyrrell county,
North Carolina, along the Scupper-
nong river, well before 1850, and that
from this county the species found its
way TO Roanoke island.

Dolls With African Burial.

Art galleries in New York last year
exhibited specimens Of African doll
makers. Perhaps the most interesting
story of dolls in Africa Is that which
concerns the doll custom of tribe
dwelling near Lake Nyassa. When a
member of the tribe dies a rough i'm
age Of the dead person is made of rags
or wood and laid away in tent.
Thousands of doll images of dead
tribe members lie in the tent, and ii
is said that the tribe believes that the
dolls are the embodiment of the souls
Of the dead men. BY keeping the souls
on earth they believe they are cheat
ing the fiends which are supposed to
Turk beyond life. The tent is regarded
as sacred and only the medicine men
are permitted near ii.

The Kiss in Ancient Folklore.

A story of Alexander the Great and
Il kiss forms one of the most thrilling
bits of history. An enemy Of the king 5
invented a novel plot to cause AleXan-
der's death. He discovered beautiful
young girl, who, like Rappacini's
daughter in Hawthorne's story, had
been brought up on deadly poison, and
every one who came near her was
killed by her deadly atmosphere. She
was sent to the kings palace with in
structions to do what would be called
"vamping" today. Alexander saw and
admired her extravagantly, but the
shrewd Aristotle suspected treachery.
Before he allowed the girl TO approach
the throne he sent for criminal who
had been sentenced TO death, and in
structed him to kiss the girl in the
presence of the king. He fell dead
on the ground, like one struck by light
ming.
The some story appears in folklore
of India, and the early Christian
monks made great use of it in their
sermons, personifying the Christian
as Alexander, conscience cs Aristotle,
sin as the yenomous girl, and the weak
sinner as the criminal who was pun
ished.

NEED FOR BALANCE WHEEL
Thing, But Should Be Regulated
by Prudence.

Courage is an Indispensable quality
In our success; but If ii is not bal
anced and regulated by prudence it
will run away with us and lead us into
all sorts of foOlhardy things. Boldness
Is great quality when ii is held in
check by proper cautiousness and
guided by good judgment.
l know a man whose courage is very
much over-developed and his faculty
of caution is very deficient. He does
not know what fear means, and he
plUnges into all sorts of foolish oper-
,atiOns which do not turn out well, and
he is always trying TO get out of
things which he had gone into hastily.
If his prudence had been equally de-
veloped with his courage, with his bold
ness, lie would have made very
strong man.
Futile endeayors, half-hearted eff
forts never accomplish anything. 1t
takes the fire of determination, en-
ergy, push, and good judgment to ac-
complish that which counts. 1t is the
well-balanced enthusiastic man with
fire in his blood, and ginger in his
brain, who makes things move and
achieves the seemingly impossible

SCENE OF MAJESTIC BEAUTY
Table Mountain. for Many Reasons, Is
Superior to Any OF the Earth's
Great Peaks.

i have seen many flat-topped kopjes
in Africa. l have seen the bare and
golden Atlas range drop away into
the golden sands of Mogador, but l
have never seen anything resembling
its mighty mass which is the DOM
inant, the royal fact of the Cape Pc
ninsula. 1t is by virtue of its
mass and the colossal buttressed
cliffs which form its walls that Table
mountain is majestic, as also by the
abruptness of its rise from the visible
sea-level. The height of inland noun
tains is matter of faith rather than
sight; but this mountain, like Etna
and the Peak of Teneriffe and others
whose roots are in the sea, announces
its stature at once To the eye. 1t rises
more Immediately from the sea than
either of these, yet not so immedi-
ately as ii appears to do when seen
from the bay. Ii throws out toward
the ocean low spurs of mingled rock
and green banks. In spring these
grassy banks are all set with flowers.
Among them is pretty white flower,
about the size of "A narcissus, though
different in shape, of which l have
seen bouquet in England, many
weeks after il had been gathered at
the Cape, standing in vase without
water and still quite fresh. :.

The goby (of which there are many
kinds) selects the clean valve Of a
clam and uses this as the ready made
nest. The pair (for the goby mates
with but one and is jealous of any
rivaD hover round an inverted valve
and then the male scoops out the sand
from underneath IL. forming a cavity,
the shell being slightly tilted and
pressed into the sand. The female
then enters the cavity and deposits
her eggs OH the lower (inner) surface
of the shell. These eggs are some
what, cigar-shaped structures, fixed at
one end by a glutinous network that
secures them firmly TO the shell. Hav-
ing done her work, the female then ex-
changes places with the male, who
remains on guard, keeping up a con
slant current of water over the eggs
by movements of the pectoral fins,
and darling out at the approach of an
intruder.

Shoe Throwing Old Custom.

Throwing old shoes was not always
confined TO weddings, though the Gus
tom nowadays has come to be asso-
ciated entirely with the going away of
bridal couples. Authorities differ as
TO the origin Of the practice and Its
exact significance 1t seems. however,
as IL 1t had to do with the transfer
of property-women being regarded
as such among the nations in which
the custom began.
