NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 13.-Con-
tinued drought in Texas and Oklaho-
ma caused heavy buying of cotton to
dav and the first hour of the session
brought advances of SO to 81 points.
October rising to 1886 cents a pound.
Much of the demand appeared to
come from outside interests and was
stimulated by complaints of wide
spread premature opening of bolls IN
the drouthy districts of the west.
At levels 81 to sc points up, the
market felt considerable realizing
from the long side, more or less
hedge selling on an unfavordble
opinion of European news. At IL
o'clock October was off to 1883, but
the tone was steady because of the
forecast of continued fair weather
for both Texas and Oklahoma.
The heaviest realizing of profits
on long contracts of the day was
felt after mid-session and it car
RED prices off to levels only three
to eight points over the close OF
last week. Toward 1880 O'Clock
October traded at 1888.

RADICALS AND DEMOCRATS
NOT LIKELY TO AGREE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-A pre-
diction that there will be no coop
GRAFTON between house Democrats
and the Republicans belonging to
the La Toilette wing of the party in
organizing the next house was made
today by Representative Garrett,
Of Tennessee, Democratic floor lead
er in the last congress.
While in legislative matters the
Democrats may cooperate" with
the La Toilette Republicans, he said,
they will not, in his judgment, per-
NIT any factional division in the
Republican party to place them in
control of the house and make them
responsible for its legislative ac-
ton.
The death of President Harding
did not change the general political
situation, Representative Garrett de-
clared, because President Coolidge
has announced his intention of car
rying out the policies Of his pred
eceSSOr.

MIX DID MORE DARING
STUNTS FOR FUN IN old
DAYS THAN FOR PAY NOW

Tom Mix says he did more daring
stunts for fun on the range than he
has done in pictures. What do you
think, for example, OF eight cowboys
who amused themselves by placing s
pals upside down in n corral and bet
ting which Of the eight could stand on
the upturned pail longest after a wild
steer had been admitted into the cor
rail-
You see. as long MS a person r e
mains motionless a steer won't gore
in. But when a steer nosed up be
hind you and shifts and shorts. you
don't know that he is not ready to
lower his head n butt. Therefore.
the boys get v and make a
dash for the fence, with the steer
trailing. OF course. that makes the
other boys laugh. They move. The
steer sees them and comes back on
the Away most OF them go for
the fence. Figuring things out as
Mix does, It would seem that the last
one to remain on the upturned pail
deserves to win at so cheerful a game
IS that.

with ease and facility. One of these
men is extremely adaptable to almost

as bones. His flexibility makes him
a good running partner with the
other. Dangerous and th'llng bal

act. Tho work is done half humor-

Cairns and Devoil are a Mutt and

the most amusing feature, the big

University endowment was an
nounced yesterday upon the return
to Washington Of the Rev. w. Cole
man Nevis, 8. j., regent OF the
Foreign Service School, from a
swing through the middle West in
the interests of the movement.
Instead Of continuing the cam
paign over a period of two years,
the executive committee Of the en-
dowment association decided to
press the work to a finish by April
Is. It was felt that the best in.
terests Of the university would be
served by fixing a definite date
this spring for winding up the
campaign which Is being initiated
from coast to coast among George
town alumni.
simultaneously the District of Co.
lumbia committee, headed by Frank
J. Hogan, chairman, made plans at
a meeting at the University Club
to redouble, it's efforts to raise
Washington'G quota by that time.
While no definite figure has been
fixed for local alumni as yet, it is
expected $500 will be established

Radical changes in handling
claims Of thousands of former serv-
ice men throughout the country
were decided upon yesterday at a
meeting in the office of the Disabled
American Veterans here OF repre-
sentatives Of the American Legion,
Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled
American Veterans, American Red
Cross and Veterans Bureau.
Nearly year and a half ago the
decentralization act Of the Veterans
Bureau sent into the respective dis
trict offices Of the claimants the
folders, and the dictrict offices were
authorized to adjudicate the cases.
Since then the claims have con-
tinued to be sent into Washington
at such a rate that there are now
here thousands of letters which
must be sent back to the individual
claimants with instructions to APP
peal directly to the district offices.
Under the procedure agreed upon
yesterday cooperation officers will
be assigned to each Of the fourteen
district offices to handle cases that
are being urged by the veterans or
CARNATIONS or the Red Cross. In
case representatives or organiZa-
tons attempt to urge the cases
notices will. be sent out that the
claims are already being given
special service. This method, it was
agreed, will lessen conflict of the
rivalry Of various supporters of the
particular claimant and will serve
to divert from Washington the mass
of letters that must be sent back.
Those attending the meeting were
II. H. Raege and Frank j. Irwin, of
the Disabled American Veterans; 10.
seph Sparks, chairman Of the ma
/ tional disqualification committee OF
the American Legion; Edward Bet.
tleheim, Washington representative
OF the Veterans of Foreign Wars
Robert e. Bondy. director OF war
service Of the American Red Cross
and H. A. Wallerstein, chief of co
operation Of the Veterans Bureau.
