New Orleans Quotations.
NEW ORLEANS, September Il
The cotton market opened active and
firmer with heavy trading during the
call and Immediately afterward.
First trades showed gains of 10 to
l8 points and prices continued to ad-
vance at the call until October
traded 22.55. December 22.65 ana
January at 22.73, or % to 2S points
above the closing levels of yesterday.
The brisk buying and covering
were attributed to general and
rather heavy rains in Texas and else
where in the West. which are ex-
pected to damage somewhat the great
amo cunt of cotton open in the fields
and temporarily slow down the
movement to market.
Cotton futures closed steady at net decline

Being Sixty-F0ur Not So Bad,
Says Mrs. Clara NOUeUO DaUieS
BY MARIAN HALE
NEA Service Writer

n living as we do during the
reign of the flapper, when
II most women try to conceal
their years and grown-up ladies
act more or less like babies, 1t is
a pleasant relief to meet Mrs.
Clara NovelIo Davies.
She admits frankly and not with
out pride that she is 81 years old.
Il own up to the evidence sup
piled by the calendar and public
records and Let it go at that" she
told me.
II don't let it make any differ
ence to me, though, I just go on
about my work without ever
thinking whether I'm young or old.
by this time 1 know pretty
much what want to do, and what
1 can do and what the world will
let me do. and my years Of ex-
>perience make it possible for me
to help many others who have not
had as much time as 1 to learn
this"
Instead of resting on her past
laurels as a musician, director,
teacher and composed of nearly
half a century's recognition, she is
now at work on a new idea.
She is engaged in organizing
what she calls a mo voice class"
in New York for music lovers Of
all ages, who love music, but have
had no opportunity for cultivation
of their voices.
She believes that any person
may learn to sing, at least enough
for his own personal enjoyment,
if he has the desire to do so.
Another of her pet theories is
that age does not wither women's
interest in clothes or in expressing
beauty through the medium of
themselves.
81 believe it is possible to dress
as beautifully at so as at 49," she
said, but it requires more taste
and more money"
Mrs. Davies is the mother of
Ivor Novello, the screen star.

Supporters Say,

By United Press
WASHINGTON, July IA mas
sive Independent political machine.
organized to an extent unsupported
by Democraticc and Republican lead
ers,>is claimed today to have been
set up by the La Toilette leaders.
The railroad brotherhoods, which
stretch into every State in the ma
ton, the farmer-labor and non-par-
tisan movements in half a dozen
States, the progressive groups in
half a dozen more and the Socialist
party in least three States with
other smaller organizations are said
to have been moulded together into
a great extensive Independent politi-
cal machine.
The moulding process was started
in March. Finishing touches are to
be put on this week when the ma
tional committee of the Conference
for Progressive Political Action
meets here with La Toilette to pick
a vice presidential mate for him.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE low

There is nothing in the world,

vention committee
Miss McHugh voiced the disap-
pointment Of the entire Indiana

tor Samuel NJ Ralston at the last
minute, when his nomination seemed
certain.
Miss McHugh stated that plans
for the fall campaign would get

he was one of the brainiest men
Of the party. She declared that
Davis was a friend of labor and had
been counsel for Eugene z. Debs

ticable suggestions Of police. regard
less of whether required by ordi-
nance or not.
Sumner said that his survey Of
the Pennsylvania crossings, part
OF a city-wide investigation launched
after The Times called attention to
conditions on the Monon and Nickel
Plate roads last week, showed that
the Pennsylvania is punctilious in
its observance of crossing ordi-
nances.
Meanwhile Sumner reported that
the Monon and Nickel Plate had
made good their promise to have
watchmen at all required points not
later than Saturday night
- Following complaint that pla cling

entail useless expense, Mayor Shank

STATE LAUNCHES
TELEPHONE PROBE;
FACES HUGE TASK
Investigation of Rates and
Property Value to Be
Thorough,

Preparations for the Statewide in
vestigation Of rates and property
Of the Indiana Bell Telephone Com
pany by the public service commits
sion were well under way today.
It viii be several days before the
company will be called upon TO pro
vide definite information regarding
rates, service, property, etc, Samuel
R. Artman, chairman of the COM
mission, said today. A great amount
of preliminary work must be done
by the engineering and research de
partments, he said, and details Of
conducting the investigation must be
worked out.
That the investigation will be the
most thorough and carefully worked
out ever made by the commission is
indicated by the earnestness with
which commission representatives
have thrown themselves into the
work.
Encouraged by Victory
Encouraged by the first victory
the commission ever has scored in
Federal Court in a utility case. there
seems to be no intention of losing a
bit of ground gained in the hearing
before Federal Judge George T. Page
Of the United States Circuit Court
Of Appeals Friday.
Contrary to usual custom. all in
ventories of the company's property
will be made by the commission in
stead Of relying upon the company's
statistics.
Meantime the company was pre-
pairing rate schedules which became
effective under the agreement in
Federal Court. Owing to the fact
that separate petitions were filed
with the commission by the company
for each one of its seventy-one ex-
changes it is necessary to consider
each petition separately in determin-
ing rates for various cities outside
the Indianapolis area.
Will Not Be Higher
These rates will not be higher as
a general rule than those put in eff
feet by the company July l and
which We're set aside in Federal
Court Friday. Curtis H. Rottger.
president of the company, said. How
ever, it is known in some instances
the rates are higher.
In indianapolis settlement Of the
rate question pending another COM
mission hearing was regarded with
general satisfaction. Users of party
line telephones We're not pleased
with the 25-cent advance on their
telephones, but there was general
rejoicing over the abolition of the
measured service, which was the
source of so much controversy and
dissatisfaction.
