But, fortunately for women, this notion that their husbands
love them merely for their beauty, and will cease to care for
them when they lose it, is a false doctrine. In the first place,
men don't marry women for their looks. or else there would
be many more old maids than now exist, for if you will OBJ
serve any crowd of matrons, you will perceive that not many
Il them would have taken a blue ribbon in a beauty show.
Men admire a pretty face, yes. They rave over a beauty. but
they are generally content to let some other man have it,

Jewel Merchants In A Panic
PARIS POLICE MAKE CASUAL INSPECTION

PARIS, Nov. 25.-Evil days have fallen on the sidewalk diamond mer- chants of Paris. Panic has seized their unique trade center on the pavement and marble-topped tables in front of the jewelry cafe in the Rue Lafayette.
 Gone are the happy days when q free-lance jewel merchant could gather with his kind in the open air exchange and spend pleasant and profitable day haggling, buying and selling precious gems represent ing a vast fortune.
 From all the far lands of the earth came the merchants-turbaned Indians, swarthy Turks, hawk-eyed Greeks, east side Jews. Russians and representatives of a dozen other na- tions. It was an ideal business. There was no rent to pay, no office staff. and a two-cent drink could be nursed for many hours.
 Unkind jewellers of the conven- tional type began casting dark in- situations about the source of the jewel displays on the Rue LaFay- cite And it was intimated that the sidewalk chamber of commerce in- cluded many members with prison records as long and detailed as the pedigree of a blue ribbon greyhound.

COTTON KEEPS ON .|TS UP WARD TREND
Market Touches 35 Gents, Highest Level In Pact
 For Four Years

NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. 25.- Last week was another week of ad- vancing prices in cotton, the mar ket rising to just above S5 cents pound on March and May and to 34.s5 for January, the highest levels in about four years. At the topmost prices of the week, the active months were 11S to 127 points over the close of the preceding week. Lowest prices were made on the opening session, when the list was 20 to 8 points under the close of the preceding week The close was at net gains on the weellI of 97 to 99 points. January closing at 3464. In the spot department, middling gaine 75 points iii the net results and closed at 34.50 cents a pound. Total sales of the week at all southern spot markets amounted to 232,342 bales, against 201.574 during the preceding week and 61,537 during the same week last year.
 The spread of short crop views was mainly responsible for the gains in values Contracts were helped to higher levels by the continued good demand for actual cotton. but in fluences were greatly interlocked, for much of the demand for spots came from the uneasiness felt in the
 
 in the price. Spot markets in the in terior constantly reported evidence of large foreign inquiry with Liverpool to all appearances, lead ing in the buying. Competition by England for supplies of raw material was explained by the further ac- counts of good trade at Manchester.
 The census bureau report on gin ning county production prior to No- vember IA at S,36S.6S3 bales, was a buying influence of importance. AL though it was 100000 bales higher than some private ginning estimates, it still was low enough to support contentious of a very small total yield
 Toward the end of the week claims were heard that ginning in some sec tions of the belt was increasing as the result of dry weather, and this week interest in the question of gin ring will grow because the sixth ginning period of the season will end Friday night. Late in the week pri- vate statements concerning ginning may have much to do with the Fluctuations.

Shame And Ridicule Follow Such Steps In Egypt,
 He Says

CHICAGO, Nov. 25-More people are divorced in the United States in 24 hours than in 10 years in Egypt, according to I. H. Elkordi, represen- tative of tho Egyptian government, who is here ostensibly to study the manufacture of telephones, but who has also found time to make an ex- haustive comparison of the relative merits of American and Egyptian women. El-Kordi is unable to un- derstand why American couples can unite with such great ease the knot that holds so firmly in the land of the Nile.
 we have some divorces in our larger cities, but really divorce is among the rarest things in Egypt" he said Shame and ridicule go with divorce. From a moral stand point, we are prone to reject the desirability of such action. It has long been our custom to look with of the land to sever marital rela- tionship.
 we shun as much as possible the woman in the case. She Is thought possessed with some wickedness or weakness This attitude will con . tinue to keep the number or al vorces down to the lowest possiple figure, We are satisfied with the emaIl number of actual divorces, and feel a sense of security in our we'll established homes.
 The independence of the American woman has startled El-Kordi also; she is so independent that 1t does not make for the best in marriage he thinks.
 The use of cosmetics. too. has come in for a share of the little Egyptian officials general disapproval or American women.
 American girls use so much pow der. rouge and lipstick," he said. It really is not good for them. our girls use all three, but not with the Startling effects produced by the girls in this country.
 Prohibition is not good for Amer ican men, El-Kordi believes, but IL twill make the American girls more healthy and better women.'

ASHLAND. Wis, Nov. 25,-The deer season of 1923 closed at mid night Friday night with record for disregard for law never before equaled in the history of the state, according to hunters here.

A large percentage of the hunters, however, it is de- clared, paid no attention to the one buck law or to human life.
 The result was the killing of half dozen hunters in the state. Be- sides the casualties, the game war dens in the northern half of the state were kept busy hauling out lawns and does shot by careless hunters, while hundreds of lawns and does were left in the woods to rot
