jacksonville Physician Finds
Outdoor Bathing Surpasses
Indoor Tank.
By FRED j. WALKER.
COSMOPOLITAN News Service Staff

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2S.-The
"ole swimming hole" emerged vic
toriously in a wordy argument with
the modern indoor tank today.
P. Marshall Taylor, Jacksonville
physician, acted as referee, reading
an impartial outline of the swim
ming situation and the placid out
door "hole" where granddad was
wont to dash, won hands down.
Organisms in modern swimming
pools have placed a different prob
lem before the public than formerly
obtained in the days of the ole
swimming hole immortalized by
James Whitcomb Riley which was
comparatively Clean" DIR. Taylor
said. The article, which was one Of
the first to be read in the opening of
the scientific sections OF the Ameri.
can Medical Association, in session
here.
Swimming pools that aren't
properly sterilized are constant
source Of skin, ear and nose afflic-
tons. Practically the only way
for the individual to prevent
disease when he is uncertain of
the cleanliness OF the tank is for
him to put cotton in the ears and
in the case of high divers, in the
nose.
"The protective mechanism of
the nose against infection Is def
initely impaired by the destructive
action Of the water. The problems
incident to swimming and diving
demand the attention Of physicians
and public health officials if in.
lection Is to be prevented.

San Quentin prison, agreed that a
new factor in crininology has ar

Four Southern Cities
Owe Uncle Sam
$37,277.O6

Four southern cities-New
Orleans, La, Savannah, Ga,
Galveston, Texas, and Little
Rock, Ark.-it came to light
here today, owe the Post
Office Department $27,277.O6.
Further, this debit has been on
the federal books for sixty-two
years, dating back to the Civil
war, and here is what the De-
partment has to say of the
matter.
"There seems to be no hope
of wiping out these debts and
they probably will be carried
on the books indefinitely, or
until Congress sees fit to
charge them to profit and
loss"
The story of the debit is
this: In 1861, Confederate
forces took possession of Fed
eral postal funds at the New
Orleans sub-Treasury in the
amount of $31,164.44, and in
the United States depositaries
at Little Rock in the amount
of $5,823.50; at Savannah, Of
$205.76, and at Galveston, of
1886.
Every time a balance is
struck and every time the
Postmaster General issues his
annual report. these entries
must be taken into considera-
ton to make the accounts
balance.
In 1912, Congress was asked
to legislate them from the
books, and while this was not
done they were in effect null
lifted.

TURKS SEE NEAR

WRECKED
Ottoman Debt Issue Is Rock
to Split Peace Pact,
Officials Hold.

CONSTANTINOPLE, June Is
Turkish officials today expressed
the utmost pessimism over the re-
suit of the Near East peace confer
ence which is dragging toward its
close at Lausanne. It is feared
that the Ottoman debt issue is the
rock upon which the parley will be
wrecked.
The international News Service
correspondent, who has just re.
turned from Angora, was told by
Premier Reuf Bey that gold pay
ments by Turkey are impossible.
THE government would surely
fall if it attempted to make gold
payments" the premier said.
The Turkish government is conf
dent that the allies do not want
war, but the Turkish army is being
held intact Additional forces are
being recruited daily among the
Anatolian peasants.
Mustapha Renal Pasha, chief
minister of state and commander of
the Turkish Nationalist army, is
suffering from overwork. He is
often at his desk all night long,
reading and debating.

a double shooting. designed by its
perpetrator, Lewrence At. Price. a
salesman, of Highland Park, to
unite himself and his wife in

he had shot his wife while she
slept, 80 she might suffer no
agony" The note was Addressed
to Prices mother. Mrs. Louis c.

delivered over all property to hep.
The remainder of the note was a
recital of business reverses and of
the estrangement between Price and
his wife, growing out of his resent
ment that she was attractive to
other men. Price complained that
his wife had not made enough fuss
over him when he returned from a
business. trip recently"
Today the two children of the slain
couple, Lawrence, jr., seven, and Ed

COTTON MARKET. FOR WEEK WEAK AND UNSETTLED

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-The cotton mar ket was rather weak and unsettled during the earlier part of the week. when traders appeared to be influenced by unfavorable reports from the goods trade with talk of domestic mill curtailment and the fear of
 ncISasing crop receipts in the south In addition to scattering pressure on the decline, which carried the price of De- cember deliveries down to 27.12c. or PTS points below the high record of last month. As the market approached the 27-eent level however, a better trade de- mand made it's appearance while it looked as if the technical had strengthened. A good many contracts were probably taken out of the ring by the trade buying to fix prices on eall cotton, and when shorts prospects for unsettled weather in Texas offerings were limited. Prices rallied very sharply in consequence, with Decem- Der selling up to 42S95c during today $ trading, of approximately i25 points from the lowest. This rally was not accompa- provefnent in the mill situation but there appeared to be feeling among local traders that mills have been taking ad- vantage of the earlier week declines to price their cotton if not to secure further covering against their forward require nents. This idea was rejected by reports of an increased spot demand in the south and of a generally firm basis Possibly the latter applied more particularly to the higher grades of cotton, as the tendency has been toward wider differences be- tween high and low grades. but there has been nothing to suggest any pressure of the latter against the markets otherwise. Stocks of certifScated cotton in New York amount to less fhan 200 bales and so far nothing has been learned of shipments here 10 replenish them, as there probably would be were tenderable low grades pressing for sale In the belt Much Of the buying on the end-week rally, however. was attributed to covering of shorts for over the Columbus Day adjournment. and the demand of that sort was probably stimulated by a fear that unsettled weath. CT might develop in the southwest while the American markets were closed and Liverpool was open.

PAPER MANUFACTURER
 PREDICTS GOOD TIMES
''No Doubt Of Approach Of Period
 Of Good General Business"

CHICAGO, Oct. 11.-A belief in gcod times for months to come was indicated in a statement by Henry w. Stokes, president of the Ameri- can Paper and Pulp association, at the final session today of the an- nuaI joint conference of the Ameri- can Paper and Pulp association and the National Paper Trade associa- ton.
 There have been difficulties in the raw material situation" the state ment said, such as the shortage and consequent high prices for ground wood pulp due to low water. Inn ports of foreign pulp have recently been larger than ever before re- corded. The possibility of an em- bargo on the export of Canadian pulp wood has disturbed the wood market. No recession of prices due to possible lower costs of raw ma terials can be anticipated.
 In general there seems to be nc doubt of the approach of a period of good general business and the paper manufacturer cannot fail to be favcrably affected"

SLIGHT DECLINES APPROXIMATE IN DAYS BOND MART

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Today's bond market was a dull affair with slight recessions predominating in the general list. Bankers and in vestment houses, however, reported sales to investors were holding up well.
 Some buying of U. s. Treasury 41ss was noted, the bonds moving up 7-32 a point. Most of the other active United States government issues held relatively steady. French Ii ssues were inclined to slip downward but probably reflected the pre-holiday trading rather than selling pressure. For the most rart trading in the for eign group was at a standstill.
 Numerous second grade mortgages fell off in slow trading. Fractional gains were recorded by few rail- road issues. notably Texas and Pa cific first 5s, Burlington refunding 5s and Chesapeake and Ohio conver- tible 4tas.
 Declines in the industrial group extended to the tobaccos. coppers, some of the rubbers and utilities. Some of the sugar company liens and steel issues moved forward. 1
