Fiction

Good fiction's creative need it.,
as you must all agree; but | would
rather read it than have it told to
me. Before my humble hovel l sit
me down in peace, to read the latest
novel, brought to ME by my niece
And if it proves winner that's
bound to gain rcnown, I'd do with
out my dinner before I'd lay it down.
And if it doesn't suit me | throw it
at the cat, though idle critics hoot
me and voice their scorn thereat
My chair is soft and easy, my wom-
bats round me play; I'll let no story
cheesey destroy my happy day. And
it is thus with reading; when you
are tired you quit, and take the nap
you're needing, or watch the jazz
birds fit. But when human critter
would spring legend queer, your
soul be may embittcr, but you must
lend an ear. A martyr to politeness,
you listen to a tale, a miracle of
trltness, that made old Noah quail
You heard old bores repeat it when
you were young and fair; the moths
have tried to cat it, and left the yarn
threadbare. And you must sit and
listen to annals stale and weird,
while briny teardrops glisten and
tricklc down your beard. | like my
stories printed, with pictures, in
book, with covers bravely tinted, and
blurbs where'er | look. Give me
blue or red one, volume large and
fat; and if it proves a dead one, I'll
throw it at the cat.

CITIZENS OPPOSE
STREET WIDENING
Mid-City Group Favors Ban
on All Parking Unless Driver
Sits in Auto.

Disapproval of the general prin-
ciple of widening streets in this city
was expressed in resolution adopted
by the executive committee of the
Mid-Cfty Citizens Association meet
ing in the Thomson School last
night. Members of the committee
were practically unanimous in ex-
pressing the belief that making
streets wider could. at best, only
bring about a temporary relief of the
congested traffic situation.
Added to the above was the opinion
that the shade trees should not be
cut down. To this phase of the ques-
tion was added a sentimental touch
when one of the committee member $
said. II have spent SIS years Watching
these trees grow and 1 don't want to
see them cut down.
Would han Parking.
Following this action. the COM
mfttee adopted a resolution to recon-
mend to the District Commissioners
the banning of all parking in con-
geSted downtown areaS-eXcept with
driver sitting in the car. 1t was;
pointed out that such a regulation II
now in operation in many of the
larger cities and it was stated that
such a measure would be the only
means of truly relieving the streets
from congestion by parked auto
mobiles.
The policy of putting a time limit
on parking and imposing heavy pen
altieS on those violating the parking
laws would only serve to make own
crs more diligent in moving their cars
every hour-or whatever the time
limit might be-and parking them in
other places maybe only a few feet

Among other suggestions made at
the meeting was the taking into ac-

Government clerks, who park their
cars down town when they do not

can prove that they need to use their

have all unnecessary parking along

$3.50 in the afternoon. prohibited.

 By Buyers

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-The cotton mar ket today lost a good part of satur- days advance, owing to better weather reports than expected and re-selling by recent buyers who appeared to be even- ing up their commitments in prepara- tion for Wednesdays government re- port. After selling off to 24.s5c, Decem- Der rallied to 25.25c, but broke back to the early low level and closed at 25.05c. The general market closed barely steady at net declines of 35 to 43 points.
 The opening was weak at a decline of r to 53 points. Active positions sold about 40 to 57 points net lower in the early trading under southern hedge sell ing and liquidation by Saturdays buy CTS who were disappointed by the fail- ure of the weather map to show any indication of the drop in temperature predicted the end of last week. After initial selling orders had been absorbed, trading became comparatively quiet, fol- lowed by midday rallies accompanied by reports of continued firm spot basis in the southwest. Demand failed to broaden on the advance, which car ried October up to 26.32c and January to 25.56c, however, and the market weakened again under renewed pre- bureau liquidation.
 Near months touched the lowest prices of the day in the late trading. october selling at 25.s0c, but last prices were 10 or 15 points up from the bottom on covering.

 Obligation of the New Haven rail- road, which also will be called upon to meet heavy maturities next year, re- acted in sympathy, but the net losses were held to fractions. Chicago & AL ton 3hs, Atchison, Adjustment 4s. Stamped, and Denver and Rio Grande Refunding 5s were other heavy spots. Northern Pacific issues were firm. | Industrial mortgages held relatively firm.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Stock prices eurned reactionary in today's market when heavy professional selling pressure was exerted against the St. Paul issues hrousing apprehension over the roads ability to refund the large maturities next year.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 6.-The cotton market today was reactionary and the general trend of prices was downward, although there were frequent moderate rallies which served to hold those bear ishly inclined in check. At the lowest, December, the most active month at present, showed a loss from Saturdays close of 54 points, but this was cut down by a rally in the late trading based on reports of rains in west Texas which reduced the net loss to 3S points. The other months showed net losses of 39 to 43 points. At the start Liver pool was about as due, but the market here opened lower with rather active selling on the opening call which forced December and January down 43 to 49 points, the former month trading down to 24.95c and the later to 25.S1c. A sub sequent rally based on fears of un- settled weather owing to a low depres- sion in the far northwest advanced De- cember to 25.22c and January 25.30c, or a recovery of 27 to 30 points from the low, but the improvement did not hold, as liquidation, hedge sales and scalpers selling caused prices to again ease off were established at 24.S4c for Decem- Der and 24.93c for January, or 54 to 57 points below the previous close. There was a moderate rally in the late after noon which trimmed the loss somewhat.
 The easier trend today was due to fears that the government report Wed- nesday would not show as small an in- dicated yield as many traders expected a few days ago. The generally favorable weather over Sunday was also bear ish influence. Three more private con- dition reports were issued today rang ing from 53.6 to 55.2 and indicated yield of from 12,400,000 to 12,599,000 bales.
 NEW ORLEANS, Oct. e.-Cotton futures closed steady at net decline of 3s to 43 points.
