CHICAGO, Nov. 1S.--Big receipts
Of hogs again were the cause Of a
break Of 10 cents In the general
market. The decision was checked
somewhat by liberal buying on the
part OF Eastern shippers. Receipts
were 81 900 against 1000 q week
ago. Top was $3.50 against 5000
q week ago.
Cattle sold slowly and weaker,
with receipts too large to fIt the
demand. Cows and hSifers were
steady, but hard to sell. Bulls sold
weaker and calves were steady.
Lambs were quoted steady to
strong on account Of moderate re.
ceipts.

Spindle Top Gas
Comes Up, Future
Looks Very Good

Gas of sufficient pressure to throw
mud and water from the bailer and
to readily burn when ignited has
been developed by the Spindle Top
well at the depth of 1705 feet. The
showing is considered, by experts,
to be unusually encouraging. Evi-
tleace of successful future is not
led for this outpost wildcat wellp
as a pressure of over $50 pounds
ITO the square inch is exerted at the
bottom of the hole by the water
column of 1880 feet standing in
the well and any gas found, neces-
sarily, would be of greater pressure
than that of the water to force EN-
trance into the well. Oil is also
found in the muck bailed from the
well, it is stated. + 't
This well which is being drilled
north of the Salton Sea by San
Bernardino interests is attracting q
great deal of interest from oil cir
cles as it is regarded to be a prob
able pioneer of new oil field. The
test is being made on a large asym-
metrical anticlinal dome of sedi-
mentary origin said to be of Pliocene
lage The district has ideal natural
conditions for the occurrence, accum-
ulation and storage of hydro-car-
bons, it is reported.

high spirits and eonfiding to news
papermen that "that man Coolidge
is Il clever fellow -, Henry Ford
came here today to call ON the exc
cutive.
Ford, with his friends Thomas A
Edison and Harvey Firestone, ar
rived at Ludlow, Vermont, 12 miles
from here last night, enroute to Can
ada on their annual camping trip.
TIE President had advised them
that he would hold open house for
them.
The President and Mrs. Coolidge
were still confined to the house
today becausey oft the icy winds
sweeping down from the north, so
the executive took advantage of
the weather to 60 through his huge
accumulation of mail.
With no means of filing unans-
wered letters in their proper order,
tie President called in Secretary
Slemp's stenographer and started
to grind out replies.
just after breakfast this morning,
the President and Mrs. Coolidge
went out into the yard and in the
corner of the garden nearest the
house set up little wooden wind
mill on the fence, post.
The windmill had been carved by
Calvin Coolidge, Jr., and will be a
reminder of his tragic loss.

Dempsey's Nose
RemOdeled Now

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 19.-The de
sire for facial beauty gets them all
when they come to Hollywood. Jack
Dempsey, heavyweight champion and
more recently pictrre star, is
the latest to fall for the remodel
ing stuff.
Dempsey's nose, which normally
had a droop in the center and a
pagoda effect at the end, has Just
been done over by plastic surgeon
and in week or two will prove y
fitting accompaniment to his side
burns and creased hair.
During his recent picture series
Dempsey 5 nose was filled out witt
putty, but the champ decided i
would take too much time TO stick
on and smooth out a COB of it ev
cry morning, hence the operation.

"THE ARAB" TO
BE AT PALACE
FOR TWO DAYS

''The Arab Rex ingram 5 first
Metro production since ''Scara-
mcuche," is coming to the Palace
Airdoma for tonight and Wednes-
day.
"'The Arab" is an exciting story
of the love of Sheik's son for the
daughter on an American mission
airy; the attempted massacre of the
Christians by the governor of the
Turkish province; ana thelf rescue
by the Arabs own warriors.
Ramon Novarro and Alice Terry
have the chief roles, and it is said
that both appear to better advant-
age than ever before. The back
ground and costumes are authentic,
since Mr.. Ingram took his company
to Northern Africa to obtain the
real atmosphere.
THE Arab" is based on Edgar

THINGS WGMEN ARE
DOING EVERYWHERE

Tibetian women go through con
siderable Inconvenience and even
pain to attain beauty.
A Texas woman has a wholesale
and retail business for the buying
and selling of snakes.
Statisticians find that the aver
age woman has chance of living
longer than the average man.
In many of the provinces in
China women vote and occupy seats
in what would be our Legislatures.
The Bisa women weave red and
white beads into their hair until
the hair itself in places is quite
concealed.
In Seville the women pile their
hair on top their heads like a little
fortress, a custom they have prac-
ticed for hundreds of years.

choosing in color or in plain white.
The material hangs well and is not
expensive. Many people are dying
the material also in solid colors
or in shaded tints, so that the dark
est part of the material can be used
for the bottom of the curtain,
which shades to lighter tint at
the top. Other ambitious designers
are tie-dying the goods and they
get some remarkably beautiful CT
fects.
Patient people are doing unusual
things in drawn work on the crash
materials for curtain borders. After
the borders are drawn and the bot
toms fringed, color is used in en-
broidering the centers of flowers
or the veining of leaves, or out
lining arabesques, which makes the
work very striking in appearance.
1t looks more elaborate than it
really is. Some dip the curtains
after the drawn work is done and
get some wonderful effects.
Another odd fancy is to buy silk
embroidered Chinese squares or
bands, then herring bone them to-
gether with gold thread or match
ing silks. These are then used as
lamberquins or over-drapes. 1t is
quite lot of work and the pieces
are expensive, though they are
lovely when finished.

SUGGESTIONS THAT
ARE USEFUL FOR
ALL HOME MAKERS


TableclothS aud sheets should be
folded crosswise occasionally. 1t
will make them last longer.
a splendid polish will be OBJ
tanned ON clean linoleum if Gnsced
oil is rubbed into it. 1t will not
make the floor slippery as do so
many oilcloth polishes.
When making custard, using the
stiffened whites on top, try sweet
ening the whites with couple of
spoonsful of strawberry preserves.
1t adds delicious flavor and
makes the egg whites pretty pink.
n little butter rubbed on pota-
toes before baking will prevent the
skins from hardening and make
the potato mealy.
Potatoes boiled too rapidly will
crumble on the outside before the
centers ;Ye finished. Turn down
the burner to an even, slow boil.
Fried potatoes should be drained
on brown paper for a minute or so
before serving so that all grease
will be absorbed before placing
them on the platter for serving.

The curtain question always seems

blessed with a houseful of windows,
These "eyebrows of the windows
are in almost constant need of be-
ing washed, cleaned or changed for
seasonal reasons or because they
wear out TO the point of shabbi-

taken down with the modern rods
and poles, curtain rings and pins
than Formerly.

The introduction of cheap mate
rials is of comparatively recent
date, but they have been welcomed
by fashion, and the result has been
AN increase in choice of eolors and
also the widening of many mate

To double width the goods is al
ways an economy. Though II costs
a little more to buy this wide
aterial, it goes twice as far.

sozens of curtains to make, even q
rev edges less to hem are worth

their net-hlc surface between the
