Greatest Strength Shown in Middle of Week, Follow lowing Governments
 Estimate
By Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. It. Prices were sent above the 25-cent level in the cotton market this week. Greatest strength was shown around the middle of the week, following the governments estimate of the crop. A little later a great deal of liquidation came from the long side, causing moderate reactions. but on the clos ing session the tone was very steady. The net results of the week in the contract market were advances of Il to s5 points. January closing at 2529c pound At the highest the list showed net gains of 92 to 103 points, January trading as high as 2550c. In the spot department, middling gained 75 points. closing at 25.50c. which price compared with 17.25c as the closing price this week last year.
 The outstanding features of the week. aside from the effect on senti- ment of the very strong market for foreign exchange an dthe growing hopes of betterment of European conditions were found in statistics.
 The annual estimate by the depart ment of agriculture placed the sea- sons crop at 9,964000 bales or al- most exactly in line with bullish expectations. Later in the week the census bureau issued its monthly fig ures on American mills, placing con sumption during November at 577,5 ,561 bales, against 533950 in October and 527,940 in November. last year, much larger total than expected These two items furnished most of the motive power for the advances.
 1t is evident that this coming week the cotton trade will watch the for eign situation with great eagerness because any further improvement will mean much in connection with the business of 1923. On Wednesday the census bureau will issue it's sew enth ginning report of the season and it may be attended by heavy trading if its figures are out of line, one way or the other, with the crop estimate of Ia Sf 1vaelx

SEEKS TO RESTORE
 FORGOTTEN TONGU E
By Associated Press


 CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, Dec. IT. Restoration of an almost forgotten language with the aid of an unedu- cated, nearly illiterate, self-taught full-blooded Indian from the high lands of Guatemala, is being under taken by Dr. William Gates of The Indian is Quiche, and his language, which heretofore, never has been thoroughly studied, bears the same name. The race and tongue are offshoots of the ancient .Mayas. whose high civilization, the most advanced of any early Ameri- can people. flourished before tie Spanish arrived in South and Central America.
 The Mayas built marvellous cities, palaces and temples, the ruins of which dot Yucatan and Guatemala. Their descendants are the Indians and peon class which inhabit that re- zion today. Only the mountain tribes escaped the advance of civili- zation.
 Through the application of new scientific method which reaches to the root of language, Dr. Gates ex- poets to restore the decadent tongue. decipher the hitherto unraveled se- crets of the ancient Mayas hiero- glyphic writings and inscriptions which have baffled archaeologists for centuries, compile books for the in- struction of the historians and. even tually restore the literature.

1000 CHILDREN YEARLY
ARE ARRESTED IN U. S.
Statistics on Violations of Federal
Laws Supplied by Secretary OF
Labor Department.

Approximately 1000 children under
eighteen years of age are arrested
in the United States each year Tor
violations of federal laws. Secretary
of Labor Davis announced today IN
making public a report dealing with
the procedure of federal courts and
delinquent children, prepared by the
children's bureau.
The report presents the results of
a study of methods of dealing with
children who have violated postal
and other federal laws. The Post
Office Department and the Depart
ment of Justice assisted the Labor
Department in it's Investigations by
making available their records. The
study showed 1.145 children arrested
during a two-year period for vio-
lating postal laws and 211 arrested
for other federal offenses.
A measure authorizing federal pros
ecution, the report said. was passed
by Congress in 1917. but was not
signed by the President. A similar
bill is pending in the present Con-
gress, and the proposed legislation,
the report suggested. would enable
the United States courts to deal much
more effectively with children s
cases. 1t was probable. the report
pointed out. that the simplest. most
practicable and least expensive plan
for the proper handling of children's 9
cases involving violation of federal
laws would be the development of
definite system of reference to
state juvenile courts at least in GER
tain types of cases.

Too Active

my wife is too blamed energetic" !"
admitted Hiram Dingbat West; "she
thinks I am sight pathetic because
I'd fold my hands and rest. With
mop and broom and feather duster
she gallops on her course insane,
and when I'd sleep I cannot trust
her a decent silence to maintain.
She's always scrubbing door or case
ment, or packing chairs from room
to room, or hanging washings in the
basement, until she fills my soul
with gloom. She fills the house
with sound and fury, she makes ex-
istence distress; and yet there is
no judge or jury who would not call
her success. She launders well,
and she's a winner at making COM
forts for the beds, and if you want
a we'll cooked dinner she's surely
there, on non-skid treads. OF all
the virtues she's the owner, and /
should speak of her with pride; my
neighbors say I pulled no boner
when she was chosen as my bride.
And yet I often dream of Daisy,
another girl l might have wed, a
drowsy maid, so ALFRED lazy she
wouldn't even comb her head. With
such a wife a man might idle
through long and slumbrous after
moons, but she was taken to the
bridal by Grocer Griggs. who deals
in prunes. Because she's lazy he
keeps knocking, and grief and care
have made him gaunt; and thus we
see that life is shecking-we do not
