Families That Never Sought
Help Before Big Factor in
Charity Increase. :.

One out Of every six persons in Nov
York city was aided in some way by ths
Salvation Army during the past year.
according to the annual report by Lieut.
Col A. e. Kimball, made public yester-
day at Salvation Army headquarters
at 122 West Fourteenth street. The re-
port serves as a basis for the citywide
appeal which the Army will make May
to 10 to raise 100000 to continue its
program in New York
Increase in demands made upon tho
organization for help are evidenced by
the fact that sos new families, represent

than twenty nationalities and include
members of practically every Protestant
denomination as well as Roman Catho-
lies and members of the Jewish faith.
The relief worl. Is non-sectarian.
All applicants for help are referred
through the Social Service Exchange in
order to avoid duplication of efforl by
other Organizations. In cases where

zations they are officially recorced IS

home visiting in order to keep in close
touch with applicants for relief and a
careful tabulation Is made of all cases.
In 1921. according to the report total
or 1.49l hours was spent in investiga ton
in New York city and 6,450 families were
interviewed
During the summer of 1921 ,2TA0o5

average of five to family received
groceries and milk. The Salvation Army
sometimes pays the rent In exceptional
cases when the destitute family is with
out resources Approximately 300 fam
lilies were helped in this way in the
course of the year.
Temporary relief given individuals Is
an equally important phase OF The
Army's activities. The meals furnished
during | 92l totaled more than 266.00o. In
addition, approximately 5000 persons
received free lodging and hundreds more
were given shoes and clothing. Tho

of the applicants were ex-service men
and 9,04S former soldiers and sailors
were placed in jobs in the twelve months
ended December 81 last.
Summer outings for mothers and chill

constitute an important phase of the
Army's program Of service. The report

VIENNA GIRLS WARNED
OF u. S. MARRIAGE ADS
Paper Tells of Several Alleged
Cases of Deception.

VIENNA, March 25.-Vienna girls are
being warned not to be misled by mar.
riage advertisements from America
Half dozen alleged cases of deception
are cited by Der Morgan, which asserts
they are but a few out of hundreds" in
which Austrian women have gone to
America to marry.
One case described is that of o daugli-
ter of high Official who answered an
advertisement in a Vienna paper stating
that an engineer in Chicago desired TO
wed a pretty educated Viennese. In Ger
man the word engineer always means a
professional title and is never applied to
mechanics.
When she arrived she found the man
was a metal worker. He soon lost his
Job and the girls parents had to sacri-
fice even their household goods to send
her money to return.
Another instance is recited in which
the advertisement contained the phrase
IAN American dark wishes to marry
etc" The prospective bridegroom was Il
negro.
Usually. says the paper. the advertise
ments describe the man as earning so
many million crowns O month. which the
woman finds to mean virtually nothing
In American standards.

COTTON HAS YEARS
DULLEST SESSION
Final Bids Are Around Low Of
Day at 4 to 7 Points Less
Than Fridays Close.

The cotton market was little changed
yesterday in what was probably this
years dullest short session. After
opening a point to 4 points net higher
the contract list moved aimlessly
around Fridays closing level under idle
professional give and take and scattered
evening up. There was not the slightest
sign of feature from the beginning to
the end Of the session. final bids being
around the days low to points less
than Fridays finish.
Week end statistics were largely
ignored. 1t made little difference to the
trading element how large spinners'
takings for the week were or how much
the visible supply increased or de-
creased. Latest reports from Fall
River placed total sales of print cloths
at 10000 pieces an destimated cur
tailment at the same number of pieces.
Marshall Field & Co. stated that current
weekly wholesale distribution of dry
goods was somewhat less than for the
corresponding week OF 1921.
The weather map although favorable,
showed considerable precipitation at
several places in tho western bet 1t

sippi. but many traders looked for show
ers over Sunday. In central portions of
the belt II was cloudy and unsettled.
Excert for short period directly after
the CA there was i,s.le or no buying
incentive in the market. with which the
new labor cloud in Manchester had
much to do. The heaviest selling came
from Wall Street longs in the last half
hour when all months made their lows
for the day.
The local spot market was quiet net
unchanged at 1885 cents for middllng.
The New Orleans market was unchanged
at 1850 cents. It's sales were 472 bales.

Cotton Merchandise Stagnant
and General Buying Shows
No Change.
W0GTEN CoonS I.yrELTss

The outstanding feature of a disap-
last week was the chaotic development
in the silk market. Demand was fitful.
rrmors being current OF possibilities of
a strike OF silk workers in Paterson Sew
eral broad silk manufacturers announced
curtailed production because of lack of
demand. General dissatisfaction with the
new silk schedule was apparent and
cables from Japan reported the markets
there as dull and stagnant.
Business in the woolen goods market
was without life. buyers marking time
for the most part while unsettlement in
the clothing industry and the decision
reached by the wool sorters' union TO
strike Tomorrow because of wage cuts
did much further to unsettie conditions
there. The week closed without par
ticular feature in mems or womens
wear departments. The only business
that developed in yarn markets was for
novelty dress goods, but staple line
goods were at low ebb. In knitted ends,
and a fair number of orders were on
record for April, May and June delivery
in all lines. Fall buying. however, was
limited
Further evidence of a weak cotton
goods market was apparent in lack OF
developments in gray goods during the
week. Print cloths were lifeless and
an increasing tendency by the holders
to unde"sell market quotations was
shown The developments in Law
renfq were watched keenly with an eye
to effects on production of percales and
s.rinted and beached goods Fall River
sales were estimated at 10000 pieces.
A continued call for novelties and fam
les was the feature of the wash fabrics
market. Ginghams. suitings and ratines
were bought heavily. The situation In
the burlap market was decidedly en-
couraging, heavyweight goods being on
large demand. Little improvement was
noted in the raw fur situation. Manufac-
turers expressed themselves as frankly
disappointed with the amount of spring
business done. and the sum and sub
stance of the situation appears to be
that profitable business is impossible
