COTTON CONTRACT
MARKET ADVANCES
Crop Acts in Sympathy With
Continued Bullishness in
Stocks and Wheat.

NEW YORK. April 2l.-AlthouGh
the Liverpool markets were some
what disappointing this morning and
the weather conditions throughout
the cotton belt were more favorable
than for some time past. being gen
orally clear ana slightly warmer. ex-
cept over the northwest portion of
the Carolinas and the western part
of Texas and Oklahoma, the con-
tinued bull movement on the stock
market and the further sharp rise
in wheat had sympathetic influence
IL turning up cotton contract prices
here shortly after the opening. There
was a renewal Of the good buyin=
Of cotton contracts by local trade
commission houses, Wall Street and
Western interests noticed in these
reports OF earlier in the week. While
the demand was not broad. il was
sufficient to make itself felt with
the market in a well liqudated posi-
ton and as a consequence. there was
a gradual advance i'm prices of 90 to
- points from yesterdays closing
quotations by 2:15 o'clock.
This brought the market IN to near
the lS-cent level again for May con-
tracts. while July sold at near 1876
against 1856 for October and De-
CeInDtl utllNcEltS- lheTe WAS less
selling from trade interests and the
South than lately and with the grain
and stock markets maintaining q
strong tone. most of the advance was
held during the afternoon. Reports
on the Mississippi River situation
were Of a more serious character. A
flood Is now threatening the lower
Mississippi Valley districts as the
river from below Memphis has passed
the highest stage known. So far
there have been no breaks reported
but the engineers are viewing the
situation more seriously.
At Liverpool cotton futures Closed
quiet and steady at to points
net decline against the early decline
of 10 to II points and as compared
with 3 to points decline due to
have met our closing reaction of late
yesterday. Spot cotton there was IL
points lower at 10.l1d for middling
with the days spot sales at 5000
bales. mainly as the result OF the
recently diminished demand, owing
TO the unsettled feeling caused b.
recent events at the Genoa confer
ence. There was also a report cabIed
here late this afternoon that the
negotiations between the Lancashire
manufacturers and the labor unions
in discussing terms for the new wage
scale had Been broken OF for the
time being.

Why is modesty? All my life I've
heard modesty extolled and advised -
! but never yet have heard 1t explained
! You're supposed to yearn for it as nat
urally as you would for food and air
| and If you don't, you're not mice
person."
But it is not natural to be modest, in
the sense in which we now use that
term. Only the most elementary mod
esty prevails among savages. Now I've
| no use for virtues which you can't ex-
plain. Nor has the modern young per-
son, for which reason / admire her
| greatly. Your preachings and puff
fings against transparent blouses, short
| skirts, backless evening gowns and
! barred knees mean nothing to her-for
you do not base them on reason. 1t
it's merely a matter of prejudice. surely
she has as good a right to indulge her
prejudices as you nave to indulge yours
| However. there really is a reason for
and a value to modesty. Modesty is a
civilized invention, like dynamos, but
! it's worth while if you know what it's
about. Here's what it's about. We all
! want to be happy. and the way to
| acquire happiness is to obtain power.
piest. Power in the average woman
| doesn't imply Drawn nor, necessarily,
brains. ut does mean an ability to at
| tract the, admiration. respect, faith,
| companionship, desire and love Of others
and. by means of these bonds, to in
J fluence other lives.
People do not deeply desire that which
| they can get cheaply. They want the
thing that stimulates their interest,
! which is not to be had by the masses
| and in the winning Of which there is
an element of personal victory. This
applies not only to personal alliances,
! but to all things that serve as an end
for human desire. 1t applies particu-
larly to girls.
The social code changes with each
generation. When Christ was q grow
| Ing boy He and His girl associates wore
far less clothes than young people do
| now, yet there was no lamentation on
| the subject. Tney gave significance to
other things which we now consider ir-
relevant. There is nothing intrinsical-
| 1y wrong in a barred knee. But since
our present code attaches strategic
value to the knee cap, it is faulty rea-
soning to disregard it. So
| The modern taste demands mystery in
knee caps. Therefore, If you wish to
| command the modern taste, you had
best concede the point. If you set all
your wares out for the public to gaze
upon you'll be as cheap as a corner
vegetable stand full of wilted fruit I'M
modesty is poor craftsmanship. It's q
deliberate wasting of your values.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Ivy Poisoning,

Ivy Poisoning.
understand you recommend some
KIND of home treatment, which will
immunize a susceptible person to ivy
poisoning. Will you please reprint
the remedy or treatment.-(B. o. L.
Answer-It is described IN greater
detail than I have space for here. in
letter on the treatment of ivy
poisoning and immunization. which |
have prepared and will send by mail
when the request is accompanied with
an addressed stamped envelope for
reply. No loose stamps and no other
subject should be included in the let
ter of request.
Born With Veil. ~ ..
My daughter was born with a veil
over her face. l would like to know
whether 1t has any significance.-G.
j. J.)
Answer-No. 1t is a very common
occurrence. and would be almost the
rule If childbirth were not assisted
by the physician.
MnyOnnaise Rich in Oil.
Is mayonnaise dressing made rich
with oil laxative food?-(S. A. NJ
Answer-The oil is a laxative food.
The Almanac Signs.
Many grandmothers firmly believe
that the only time to wean a baby
is by the almanac signs. What do
you advise about that?-(Mrs. L. A.
R.)
Answer-If the signs happen to be
right when you are weaving it is all
right to keep on weaving. I would
not advise fastening or postponing
the weaving just because you happen
to find the signs are right. But the
truth is that the grandmothers ring
in this superstition for the purpose
Of throwing a scare into the amateur
mother and keeping her under their
influence, SO to speak. Naturally a
grandmother doesn't like to be seen
and not heard. If history were en-
tirely reliable We might find that
when grandma weaned her babies she
weaned 'em and never worried her
head about any signs.

finished now until 1t has numerous
shelves and cupboards. If you can
not afford to have shelves with hing
ed or sliding doors you can make
curtains of white muslin to go be-
fore the shelves. They should be
starched very little in ironing and
hung on rings SO that they may be
pushed hack easily.
And speaking of shelves. 1t is al
ways good plan to have your
shelves painted and then finished
with enamel-preferably in white.
Closets SO treated may be busted and
cleaned much more satisfactorily
than those left in plain finish.
