COTTON RECEDES
 AFTER LEAPING UP
Record Reached When March Position Sold Up To
 34.08

NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 11-The first four sessions of the week just ended in the cotton market carried high ground for the season being broken into every day, but Fridays s trading was distinctly reactionary. On the closing session there were again moderate advances. Lowest prices were made on the opening session and high prices came on Thursday when the March position sold up to 34.0Sc a pound, the high est price in years. At the highest points over the close of the preceding week. Net changes were gains of 67 to III points, December closing at 32.47c and March at 32.73c. At the highest of the week December sold at 33.S5c. In the spot department prices gained 100 points on middling, which closed at S3c pound against 26.37c on the close Of this week last year.
 The most important event of the week was the census bureaus report on ginning, which counted the output to the first of November at only 7554,587 bales against S,139,215 bales to the same time last year. This report was the foundation for a gen.
 
 end of the week brought local crop estimate of 9.657.o0o bales. which was given respectful consideration. all though it compared with 9,729,306 bales as the total crop of last year. Up to this week serious crop esti- mates under the total production tf last year had not appeared.
 The reactionary feeling which ap- peared toward the end of the week was stimulated, to considerable ex- tent, by the unfavorable German po- litical news, but the main reason for it. according to market comment, was world of realizing from the long side Cn a market that had be- come somewhat overbought. At the end of the week there still was a tendency among some traders to look for further reactions because it was not considered that technical condi- tions were wholly satisfactory. Dur ing this week 1t locks as if the ques- tion of the technical position the market is in may be the outstanding trading issue.

VACATION TAN SPOILS PLAY Actress Presents Study In Tan

morals (and they are supposed to be even more liberal than those of the ball room) the audience was first puzzled and then thrown in the throes of an understandable laughing fit.
 The fact was that while rice powder had somewhat toned down the marked tan hue of the face, the shoulders and arms were those of a creole, if not of a nulatto, and in strange contrast with her auburn hair The production. which was of the pathetic, moving kind, was utter ly spoiled. When, in the second act, the actress appeared with her arms coated with what resembled white lead, the public greeted her with a series of jocular remarks, which greatly added to the general merri ment. The manager took a rather serious view of the situation, and fined the actress a heavy sum. The actress protested and threatened to sue the company and let the court decide whether an actress has the right to go to the seashore for her health, and whether the outward eff fects of the cure can be the cause of ridicule and a heavy fine.

 By helpful suggestions, the bud get officers and committees have improved methods of administration and operation of many institutions and have eliminated some duplication of effort by combining the work or one with another. By the same method of helpful suggestion, there has been an improvement in pur- chasing methods, storing of supplies and systems for the requisitfonlng of supplies have been introduced all for the benefit of the institutions themselves and. of course, resulting in more economy and efficiency in the use of funds.
 Itis further felt that the existence of the Centralized Budget, or any central financing organization, tends to prevent the springing up Of new agencies which simply duplicate the further tends to break down racial, religious and individual prejudices by working in a common enterprise and therefore, fosters coordination, cooperation and community spirit.
 Only about one-half of our agencies are now members or our budget This Is largely due to the fact that many cannot meet the re- quirements as regards administra- ton and accounting, but there are some who prefer to remain independ- ent. However, more are joining every year-six new agencies joined this year on their own initiative, and others have indicated that they ex- pect to make application during the coming year.
 If there Is anything further I can do for you in this connection, please do not hesitate to call upon me. Very sincerely yours,

DR. LOVEJOY LAUDS- BOYS HOME MOVE
Urges Square Deal For Un- derpriviIeged Youth Of
 Birmingham

A plea for 8 better chance at the good things of life, such as educa- tion, home influence, health and the opportunity to develop into useful men and women, was made by Dr.. Owen Dove1oy, secretary of the Ma tional Child Labor committee, in be- half of the boys and girls of Bir- mingham and America, in an address Sunday night at the Lyric theatre Presbyterian church. The speaker had a word of praise for the spirit which prompted the Boys club build ing drive and referred to the Ala bama anti-child labor law, passed five years ago. as a model for other states in their efforts to give the younger generation a square deal.
 "Our democracy depends for it's life upon an intelligent citizenship, and that means an intelligent regard for our children" he said.
 We must educate the child for the responsibilities of later life. the United States, in spite of our child labor laws. It is responsibll- ity to look out for these and the 10,- 100000 illiterates that were revealed by recent statistics
 Dr. Lovejoy spoke of his expenrl- ence in the camps during the war and described the conditions he ob- served among the soldiers who were unable to write letter home with out assistance. There were 2,500 of them at Camp Sevier, $. C., while he was there, he said, many of them Alabama boys who as children had been denied the opportunity to ob- tain an education.
 Dr. Lovejoy also discussed child labor and the duty of the govern ment and individuals to eliminate it and spread the doctrine of a fair chance for the child, in an address Sunay morning at the open forum Tn Temple Emanu-El.

Economy in collection and solicita- tion of funds is cited by Oliver c. Fuller, president of the First Ma tional Bank of Milwaukee, Wis. in latter to Oscar Wells, financial di- rector of the Birmingham Chest cam paign, as perhaps the greatest ad- vantage experienced in Milwaukee from the operation of the Centralized Budget of Community Chest plan,ot meeting the needs of MllwauKee charities and philanthropies.
 MT. Fuller writes:
 Replying to your letter asking my opinion of the success of our Com munity Chest-Centralized Budget as we call it-the purpose of our cen tralized Budget is to collect and disburse charity funds With tne the management of charitable lnstl- tutions so as to prevent unnecessary duplication of effort and to make TOT proper efficiency and economy Tn the expenditure of funds consistent with the work which the institution pro- poses to do.
 There 8 no doubt that our Central ized Budget has made it possible to secure funds for charitable work in a larger amount than could have been secured by the organizations working separately, but perhaps the greatest advantages experlenceu up to this time has been the economy in the solicitation and collection of funds. Before the organization Of the Centralized Budget our institu- tions individually collected their own funds. This was done largely by way of horse shows fairs, bazars, etc, in. which case the expenses no doubt exceeded 25 per cent of the funds raised, whereas under the Centralized Budget plan the expenses for solicitation, collection and. dis tribution of the funds, in fact, all of the work of the Centralized Bud get, does not exceed 71a per cent of the total fund raised. There IS no doubt that the business people are saved much annoyance as a re- suit of one solicitation as compared with the many.
 Our Centralized Budget is gradu- ally working into the. supervision or the management of the member in stitutions, but as yet has not gone so far as to direct such management. Tke requirements for membership in the budget are such that an institu- tion joining must be able to make proper showing as to revenues and to that extent is obliged to set up a proper bookkeeping and accounting

ROME, Nov. 11.-According to the Arte Drammatica, official organ of the Italian theatrical federation, the Italian courts will soon be called to decide one of the most unusual case involving the right of a tired, fair complexioned actress to go to the seashore during the summer vaca- tion.
 One of the leading Italian actress ses, whose name for the present is withheld pending a friendly settle ment of the controversy. went to the seashore some time in July, and, aft CT a month of daiy bathing, walking and playing on the hot sand, and daily exposure to a scorching sun, her fair complexion underwent radical change till she looked more like gypsy than the splendid speci- men of the arian race she once was.
 One day she was suddenly called to appear in a production staged to celebrate one of the usual extra seasonal events occurring in a north ern Italian city. The actress inter- rupted her vacation, but when she appeared on the stage in as low necked attire as was consistent with the most liberal rules of stage
