nondescript little black dog saved
the lives of Mrs. r. l.. Jones and

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2l.-Prlces
were lower by 40 to As points or the
Onening of the cotton market today,
March falling to 32.67. Liverpool
came in lower than due and the
British railway strike also was
bearish influence. The extremely
severe weather over the belt, Will
it was regarded as seriously inter-
ferring with blowing, appeared to
cause considerable selling because of
its effects in destroying insect life.
Selling pressure was not sustained
and March recovered to 1922 by the
e i'd of the first half hour of business.
At the lowest of the early trading
old crop prices were 50 to So points
off and October was so points off,
compared with the close of last
week. Private messages from Liver
pool, declaring that the railroad
strike was not so serious as it at first
appeared, gave the market a better
tone and buying increased on the
forecast of continued cold weather
To-. the cotton region. Some Sec
lions of Texas wired in that not a
plow had been stuck in the ground
this winter. Late in the morning
prices were unchanged to 16 points
down, compared with the finals Of
last week. March, came back to 33.11
and October to 27.55.
Prices broke to nearly the lowest
of the4 day under rumors that Liver
pool was trying to cancel contracts
for spots on this side of the water
but a swift recovery to the highest
level occurred when spot men COM
planned that just the reverse actual
1y was the case and that the founda-
tion of the rumors was attempts by
shippers on this side to induce Liv-
erpool to cancel contracts which the
shippers were having trouble in COW
ering. At 1880 o'clock prices were
about ten points off from the high
est, March trading $500 and Octo-
Der at 2745.

WHAT FLIGHT MEANS
To WORLD FLYERS

SEATTLE, Ap. 16-Attempting the
unprecedented feat of flight around
the world, never before essayed in the
history Of mankind, means a great
deal to each of the United States army
pilots selected to prove once more Am
erica's indomitable spirit of adven-
ture and progress. Here's what it
means for three of the filters:
Major Frederick Martin, command
er of the squadron Of four-It means
everything to me. It's the greatest OPP
portunity I've ever had or ever will
have
1t is a trust of signal honor which |
had hoped for but hardly expected
prior to the moment of notice that /
had been selected as one of the four,
and to command. We are expected to
go through with it and we will.
Lieut.. Leigh Wade, number three in
the squadron-It means that part Of
this globe circling by air job has been
put up to me and I'm going to put
over my share Of it. | feel nothing can
stop US unless our ships are wrecked
some where while anchored for night.
My plane worked without develop
ing flaw all the way from Santa
Monica to Seward Now it seems to
me there's nothing to do but fly
around the world. l received my COM
mission for the trip the day before
Christmas, the best Christmas present
| ever had Wen do it.
Lieut.. Lowell H. Smith, number two
in the squadron-Aside from appre-
citation of the honor of sharing in the
flight, it means to me the big step in
the advancement Of commercial flying
and the ultimate conquering Of the
air by passenger and freight planes.
Our flight will be successful. 1t will
prove that long distance flights are
practicable and safe | am interested
in the rapid advancement of CONNER
cial flying, for the nation possessed
Of good commercial flyers is assured
of experienced flyers in war times.

s65O.OOO FOR ALASKA
ROADS IN ARMY BILL

WASHINGTON, D. c., April Is
AS passed by the House of Represen-
tatives last week, the Army Appro-
priation bill carried an item of $780,
900 for the next fiscal year to be ex-
pended by the Alaska Road Commits
sion on roads and trails in the Terri
tory. This is the amount approved
by the Bureau Budget and is identical
with that appropriated by Congress
for the current fiscal year.
Col. James G. Steese, who has been
chairman of the Commission for the
past four years, has been appointed
by President Coolidge as Engineer Of
ficer on the Commission, succeeding
Col. John C.. Gotwals.
The Alaska Road Commission had
not hoped to get any increase from the
House over the amount recommended
by the Budget, according to advices
received here from reliable sources. 1t
is known, however, that Col. Steese,
whose estimates called for $1,500,000
for next year, hopes to be able to get
a substantial increase in the Senate.
Col Gotwals will appear before the
Senate committee in support of the
Commissions estimates.
While no word has been received
relative to the retirement of Colfnel
J. C. Gotwals, from the Commission,
the above Associated Press dispatch
indicates he will not return to Alaska.
1t was known that his four-year-ter
of duty with the Commission would
expire early this summer and it was
considered doubtful if he would be al
lowed to remain longer away from
the Corps of Engineers. The appoint
ment of Col. Steese as Engineer Of
ficer consolidates that position with
that of Chairman of the Commission.
