A BOON FOR THE SOUTH.
Sharp Rises in Cotton Add 800 Mill
 lion to Wealth.

New York, Sept. Tremendous excitement prevailed in the cotton market this morning when an excep- tionally large volume of trading the market rose from 162 to 197 points, or from $8 to approximately $10 a bale. The advance was checked in part by heavy realizing and hedge selling, and a sharp reaction just be- fore the close sent October and De- cember below 20 cents a pound, with corresponding losses for the more re- mote months. Closing prices were the lowest for the day and trading was limited.
 The mornings rise came atop an ad- vance of nearly S10 bale yesterday, and experienced cotton traders said the recent forward movement was the most remarkable exhibition in the his tory of cotton trading.
 As recently as June 22 cotton sold as low as 11A cents a pound. Today 1t crossed 22A cents. This meant a rise of $55 bale in the last ten weeks. July 31 the South held G. 640,000 bales of cotton carried over from the crop of last year. The gov ernment estimates this years crop will amount to 7,030000 bales. The rise in cotton since June 22 adds ap proximately 800 million dollars to the wealth of the South.

lBy InternatIonal M seFyIee.l


 Kansas City, Mo, Sept. 9.-Shower baths. in the street, via pipe line, is Kansas City's latest innovation to war against the heat.
 It is now possible to make social feature of your nightly or weekly bath by frequenring the municipal street shower baths recently opened here.
 The bathing hour is 6:30 in the evening. At that hour a pipe IS at tached to 8 corner water plug. This connects with shower bath appara- tus, which. set in the street, throws water for a radius of fifteen or eight cen feet. The water is turned on for an hour.
 Since the baths have been opened crowds have fiocked to the beach nightly The grown-ups and the chil- dren mingle and enjoy their frolic.
 The bathers are not bothered with any bathing beach inspectors to cen sor their costumes. Persons can be seen promenading to the "beach" at tired in bathing suits, overalls, wrap pers, kimonas and trunks.
 The fire and water board is plan ming to install street shower baths in other districts where there are no municipal bath house.

JODLESS SOLD ON
 AUCTION BLOCK
''Shorn Lambs of Unemployment" Are Brought to Bids--Stripped Men to Waist As in Slave Days
 Crowd Didn't Bid.

Boston, Sept. 9.-Human flesh, in the shape of jobless and disspirited men, was auctioned off yesterday on Boston Common.
 And a dog on the same auction block brought more than any of nine men who, stripped to the waist, as was customary when slaves were bar tered for in the days before the Civil war, were offered for sale.
 In one of the strangest and most dramatic scenes ever witnessed on the historic Common, hungry, shelterless and jobless men voluntarily offered themselves flor sale" in return for a weeks food and lodging.
 But the Crowd Didn't Bid.
 A huge throng of curious men and women packed themselves around the auction bloek-the park bandstand- and gazed with varying emotions as the auctioneer recounted the histories and abilities of the men he was trying to "sell.'
 The auctioneer was Urbain J. Le- doux, who called himself "Mr. Zero" grand high priest of the "shorn lambs of unemployment" who has establish- ed home, eating place and employ ment agency for Boston's down-and- cutters, and is attempting to wake up Boston's "civic consciousness Ledoux led band of more than 150 of his "shorn lambs" to the common, and all partook of luncheon given by suburban country club. A large crowd had gathered by the finish of the meal, and Ledoux and nine men went to the band stand. He introduced his tattered proteges as mine men, pillories of our industrial system and forced to the auction block Three of them, ne says, were overseas vet erans.
 So Dog Was Offered.
 Jim Ferris, 20-year-old overseas veteran, was the first slave to go on the block. A murmur swept thru the crowd as "Mr. Zero" ordered him to strip to the waist. He was turned around slowly and posed in every po- sition to show the play of his splen- did muscles.
 "You used this in the war; what will you dc with it now? What price am I offered for this man ?" Ledoux shouted to the crowd.
 But the crowd was silent.
 Shall it go starving now that you have ne further use for it ?" taunted the auctioneer.
 And still there was no bid.
 Get down." he ordered erris. "They won't have you; perhaps they'll take your dog"
 Found One Kind Heart.
 Bidding went up to $20 for Ser geant Ferris frightened little fox ter rier, which had served with him thru the war, but when the time came to pay the SEQ bidder could not be found. It appeared that $5 was the highest real bid. The bidder gave Ferris S5 and told him to keep the dog.
 Only two of the nine men were taken and assured of a place to eat and sleep regularly-for week, at least. They were Joe Mitchell, a 39- year-old negro from the Virgin Is- lands, who said he had been out of work six months and averaging two meals a week, and Willie Davis, homeless 1S-year-old boy from the farm"
 The remaining seven and many more like them, Ledoux said tonight. still are flor sale"

RATES COON DOGS SCORED.
When A. ?. Schott's Pets Escaped
 Soon Had Wanderer Freed.

Charles Bates Mena's hound dog expert, had chance Saturday to prove he has sure enough coon dogs, and A. P. School was saved lot of work and worry because young Mir. Bates makes Mena his headquarters. To start in the beginning, Mir. Schott is raising family of raccoons, the ex- pectation being that some time in the not too far distant future, he will have enough coonskins to make a fur coat. Saturday two of the coons escaped and one made a sure enough getaway to the tall and uncut. Happening to re- call reading in The Star that Charles Bates was coon dog owner, Mc. Schott called on him for assistance Bates and his hound dogs answered the s. 0. s. and in less than an hours time Mir. Raccoon was back in the cage. The hounds picked up the trail readily and soon treed the wandering animal

TRIED EVERY TRICK
 TO SAVE HIS PLANE
Survivor of Fall in West Virginia Pays Tribute to Courage of Pilot;
 Send Four Bodies Home.

Charleston, W. Vt, Sept. s.-The bodies of the four aviators who last Saturday lost their lives in the noun tain district of Nicholas county when the army airplane in which the were riding fell were sent home today.
 Those of Lieutenants Harry L. Speek and w. s. Fitzpatrick were started to Medford, Ore; that of Ser geant Arthur R. Brown, for Kentucky and Private Walter B. Towards for San Francisco.
 The bodies arrived here yesterday, having been placed on special train at Swiss, where they were taken from Summerville on motor truck. Be- fore the departure from Summers vile, the town near where the acci- dent occurred funeral services were held in the court yard
 Corporal Alexander c. Hazleton, of Wilmington, Del, fifth and surviving member of the airplane crew, now a patient at Coal Valley hospital, today was reported improving.
 Altho dangerously injured intern ally, Corporal Hazleton was strong enough yesterday to speak briefly of his experience. He paid a tribute to the courage of Lieutenant Speck, pi- lot of the ill-fated bomber. Speck, he declared, until the last resorted to every known trick of flying to bring the big machine out of the fatal tail spin.
 Corporal Hazleton said his last con- scious moment until he woke up in the hospital was one which he avert ed his eyes from the agonized faces of his four companions, who realized a moment before the plane crumpled under the terrific impact of the crash that they were doomed.

 ty Districts Named.

 In addition, road building machin- cry urgently needed in the state will be shipped as soon as possible.
 This announcement was made by Herbert R. Wilson, chairman of the Arkansas Highway Commission, fol- lowing series of conferences with Thomas H. Macdonald, chief of the Bureau of Public Roads.
 Bitter attacks on the manner in which the road construction work was being handled in Arkansas caused the temporary suspension of federal aid for projects in that state The fight was taken up by eastern news papers and was brought up in both houses of Congress by Arkansas rep resentatives.
 A committee from Arkansas has been in Washington for several days in an effort to bring about an under standing and agreement on the ques- tion.
 Polk County Named.
 Mir Wilson also said tonight that progressive payments for the follow < ing districts will be made at onces Crittenden No. i, No. and No. g.; Polk No. l and Pope No. l.

 "This meeting has been a most sat isfactory one so far as Arkansas is concerned" said Chairman Wilson.
 Best of Feeling shown.
 "We came here prepared to dem- onstrate just what the state highway commission is doing and expects to do, ana l am happy to say we 1Ound the federal government, thru Mir. Macdonald, anxious and willing to meet us half way.
 Full accord was reached us on the several matters of dispute and I think there is a better understanding all around. want to express my ap- preciation of the assistance rendered to us by Senator Caraway, who att tended the conference with us yes terday."
 Following the conference Senator Caraway accompanied Messrs. Wilson, Turner and Falconer to the White House where the Arkansans paid there respects to President Harding.
 They were greeted cordially and President Harding expressed his in tention in the good roads movements. Members of the highway commission left here this afternoon returning to Little Rock so as to be pesent at the hearing there on the proposal to raise freight rates on road building materials.
