Singing In the Home
BY Elise U. Eaton

Those who were fortunate enough
to see. the all-star performance OF
Hartley Manners "Out There,
which was given for the benefit OF
the Red Cross during the world war
will never forget the effect produced
upon the audience in the hospital
scene when "Auntie Annie" Iau-
rette Taylor) sang "Rock-a-bye-
baby" to a few wounded soldiers
until one by one they ceased tossing
and turning and fell asleep.
There is human sympathy and a
spiritual uplift induced by the sing
ing of beautiful melodies, and the
craving for music is part of the her.
itage of every normal person. Why
is it then, that present day parents
are so neglectful of this educative
force, so careless Of the necessity
for laying the foundations of artis-
tic appreciation in the impression
able years? Why do so few mothers
and fathers nowadays sing either
to or with their children the songs
which combine fine sentiment and
really good music to offset the cur
rent atrocities which masquerade as
melody? What has become of the
parents who used to sing the nursery
songs and other good melodies to
their babies, and follow them with
a wider range of music as the chill
dren grew older an dneeded it?
Where are the arandmothers who
knew all the old hymns aid ballads
and were not afraid to let their
voices be heard by admiring youthP
Where. oh, where, are thu modern
children who are brough- up on any
tpirg but ragtime or iaz:'
As a nation we are losing the
power Of expressing ourselves in our
songs, and the younger generation is
losing all the joy and cultural value
of being brought up in households
where music is as much daily habit
as speech, and father, mother and
children sing separately or en- masse
as regularly as they eat and sleep.
Nothing can take the place to the
child of the living human voice as
medium. In no other way
than by listening and trying to copy
can he so easily be taught to sing
himself. There is. no fund Of mem
ories in later wears which will WELD
him such rich treasure as those con-
rected with the music of his child
hood. provided it he's been made by
mother, father and the rest Of the
family.
Whatever the reason for the disap-
pearance of singing in the home. he

are gone.
If every mother and father would
resolve to spend ten minutes day
singing with and to their children,
preferably the songs of their own
childhood, I venture to predict that
in a few years there would be a
marked change in the too often inso-
lent, modern attitude of many chill
dren towards their elders, and that
we should not hear so much as we
now do of the bad manners Of young
people. Music still hath its charms
and a mothers music is a charm
which ought to surround a child's
life from babyhood, be a delightful
and living memory in later years and
an inspiration to do likewise, when
the time comes, for the new genera
ton.

NEW YORK COTTON By AssOciafed press
NEW ORLEANS COTTON


 New Orleans. October 24.-While prices were lower in the early trad ing in cotton today the market soon recovered, as the result of suneasi- ness over the hurricane. which was headed for the Houston portion of the belt. and during the remainder of the session preserved a tendency to advance. From declines under last weeks close of 21 to 2S points there was a rise until prices were 27 to S5 points oyer last week S close. Last prices were at net gains today of Is to. 26 points. De- cember fell to 1755c in the early session, gradually rose until 1t
 Heaviest buying pressure came late in the dN whenfit was market gossip that shorts were covering in large way. their buying apparent ly being influenced more by the prob able movements of the hurricane than by anything else. Reports that a large spot firm had estimated that tho Texas crop was 96 per cent ginned and telegrams from Savannah claim in gthat the Georgia crop was 90 per cent ginned were a help to values
 The early depression was in sym pathy with much lower Liverpool than was due and with the unfa- vorahle tone of European political ac- rccunts. Even on the initial decline however a good demand, apparently coming from the short side, was felt.

VISIBLE SUPPLY
 OF WHEAT CAUSES
 MATERIAL UPTURN
Corn and Oats Keep Pace With Wheat, While Provi- sions Take a Dip With
 Hoq Quotations
By Associated Press

Chicago, october 24.-Unexpected falling off In the visible supply ;o- tai, together with increased talk of the rail strike being averted, led 70 a material upturn today in the price of wheat, Closing quotations, al though unsettled, were 1ssc to 2Ac net higher. Corn gained 1Ac to 1Ac and oats A @ $ c to %@Ec from 121sc decline to 15c advance. Most, of the traders in wheat had looked for liberal enlargement io- day in the visible supply As soon, however, as indications appeared that the general assumption in this re- spect would prove unfounded, per- sistent buying on the part of strong commission houses set in. Demand for wheat was further stimulated on account of current developments, which caused many dealers to con- clude that the strike situation was clearing rapidly.
 Still further encouragement for bulls was found in predictions that would be held back to take advan- tage of reduced freight rates. On the other hand, export news was bearish, and partly because of this circumstance the best prices of the day dropped at the last.
 1, Corn and oats rose with wh sat. Besides, smallness of receipts count ed as a bullish influence. Downturns in the value of hogs made provisions average lower

THE DIET PESTS

From the New York Herald.
 The fat reducing contest which is being run by the health commissioner and some gymnasium owners may af- feet many more persons than the hundred fat mon and women who are dieting. For large number of the hundred are sure to go forth to be pests. <
 Since William Banting told the world. nearly sixty years ago. of a method of reducing corrulence by diet there have been diet fiends by the thousand, bent on changing the fig ures of their neighbors. First recit- ing their own marvellous experiences, they go on to spout advice which should come only from a physician who has made a careful study of the obese individual.
 In recent years the diet fiends have picked up professional lingo. They talk of protein and carbohydrates as golfer talks of foozles and ap- breaches. They measure their food and, of course, their neighbors-in hundreds of calories. They would count calories at Christmas dinner.
 The diet fiend weighs himself every day and advises all within his hear ir.g to do the same. He has deiu- sions about how thin he is becoming and how terribly fat his friends are His face may be lined by privation and his jaws sagged by sudden reduc- tion. but he inissts that he Is an im- proved person.
 Better race of Falstaffs and Por- theses than a race of creatures with the obsession of hanting.

DROP IN THE FLEECY. STAPLE GAVE WAY ID A LATER RISE
General Market List Closed Very Steady at a Net Ad- vance of Ten to Thirty
 Four Points
By Associated Press

New York. October 24.-Unsettling foreign political news and weakness in Liverpool caused early declines in the cotton market, but after sell ing off to 1S.10c for December. prices rallied on trade buying and covering That delivery sold up to 18.65c and closed at 1S.55c, with the general market closing very steady at net advance of ,10 to S4 points.
 The market opened steady at de- cline of 12 to 16 points and after some irregularity, active months sold about 25 to 80 points below last weeks closing figures during the middle of the morning. About the only factors mentioned on this de- cline were the easier Liverpool ca bles which private advices attributed to the pitch in the Irish negotiations and the activities of ex-emperor Charles of Hungary.
 Southern selling was not active and 1t soon became evident that there Were good many buying orders in the market on the basis of 1S.10c for December and 17.S6c for January. This steadied the market on cov- ering by western and Wall street shorts, promoted by the reassuring statement of the railroad labor board as to the prospects for settlement of labor disputes and the firner ruling Of foreign exchange.
 The western and Wall street buying was estimated at fully 50,000 bales, but 1t seemed to be quite ready supplied on the rally to 1S.41c I. N January and last prices were several points off from the best on the more active positions.
 There was nothing in the talk around the ring to suggest any change of sentiment as to the prob able showing of the ginning figures tomorrow but a good many private reports came in from the south with reference to the large per centage of the crop picked in most sections. These same reports tended to offset the effect of the tropical storm news which indicated that a disturbance was moving toward the Gulf coast although lates. accounts suggested that it was turn ing somewhat eastward.
 The official forecasts suggested that there would be rains along the Gulf coast as result of the storm, but traders doubted whether it would work far enough into the belt to cause much damage to cotton.
