THE POINT OF LIFE
(By Marcelline D'Alroy)

LIFE is like a PENCIL
NAN is the POINT.
WOMAN-its RUBBER
That ERASES his Mistakes,
Gives him a CLEAN SLATE
And encourages him to TRY Again
At least that is how it used to be;
But woman seems to have got tired
of guiding mans hand
And now she wants
To write her OWN NAME
On the Walls Of Fame
Or is 1t the Halls of Fame?
Anyway, she wants the World
To know she has ARRIVED:
So she stops rubbering
And gets down to work.
Now the MODERN WOMAN
Is Ike . Fountain Pen
SELF-F1LLING and often
SELF-SUPPORTING:
She = doing great things,
Developing and 1mprovin9;
Bat do not aea that q time Goes on
She win let her heart
RUN DRY.

How Are Your Eyes?

Many persons troubled with poor
vision, are fitted with glasses-or
rather misfitted-when an examina-
ton by competent eye surgeon will
show that they are not needed, but
appropriate treatment instead. 1t is
better therefore, to call upon special.
ist, who must always be an educated
physician, and first find out whether
Il is glasses or treatments you need.

NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 1S.-The cot ton market was mildly reactionary to- day and although trading during the session as a whole was very moderate there were some spurts of activity, par ticularly near the close, when the prices weakened on a private estimate Of gin nings to December IS, of 12,772,0 900 bales. Prices dropped to the lowest points of the day right at the end, the most ac- tive trading months, January and March, closed 27 points down for the day.
 At the start, although Liverpool was much lower than due, the local market opened fairly steady and practically unchanged. The opening trades proved to be the highs of the day, with Janu- ary at 24.15c, March at 2422c and May at 244Sc. The market soon eased off on realizing despite continued good spot news and favorable advices from the cotton goods trade. Around noon January traded at 23.95c and March at 24 4.O3c, or 19 to 20 points below the pre- vious close. There was rally in the early afternoon of about 10 points on the continued good spot news, but prices weakened sharply in the late trading, all active months making new lows for the day with January at 23c and March at 2394c and closed at those levels, showing net losses for the day of 26 to 27 points.
 The slump of the late afternoon was due mainly to the private ginning estl- mate already referred to. There was another ginnings estimate by differ ent authority of 12,60O000 bales, but little attention was paid to 1t after the larger estimate made its appear ance. The export situation was sus- taining influence most of the day. To- tai exports since August 1 are now 954,- 151 bales in excess of the correspond ing period last season and 1t Is ex- pected that the excess will reach mil lion bales before the end of the current month.
 The market was also supported for time by favorable cotton goods reports, reported sales of print cloths of 2oO, 900 pieces in New York so far this week and expectation of bullish weekend sta tistics, particularly mill takings. Ex- uorts today totalled 25,932 bales.

WHEAT JUMPS TO HIGHER LEVEL Heavy Buying On Every Side Causes Rising
 Market

cHIcAGO. Dec. 1S.-Wheat closed strong today at the highest prices yet this season both for December delivery and for May. Seaboard houses were active buyers, Russia and other Euro pean countries were said to be purchas- ing and there was an unexpected strength in quotations at LiVerpool. Compared with "A hours before wheat finished 2% to 3A up, May $1.73h to s1'73A; July s149A to $1.49%, with corn showing 1A to 1A gain, oats x to "a higher, and provisions varying from 1Oc decline to 2c advance.
 JJpturns in wheat prices started early but heavy profit taking sales led to numerous reactions which however, all proved to be transient. Some Of the selling was said to be due to correct surmises that the government crop re- port issued after the close would show an increase of domestic winter wheat acreage. The government figures indi- eating a falling off in the condition of winter wheat, though, were apparently unforeseen. Nevertheless, demand broadened on the breaks in price, and with adverse harvest conditions in Argentina offerings here became scarce, especially as the day drew to an end.
 Announcement from Washington of a decrease of 44O,00o,000- bushels in the worlds wheat crop as compared with the last year was received too late to be a factor in today's market. A lead ing unofficial authority, however, was being quoted here as saying that a shortage of good grain underlies the market and that there was no possibil- ity of overcoming the shortage before the next crop.
 Corn and oats were weak most of the time, until the last hour when they ral- lied owing largely to wheat strength. Corn receipts here were fairly liberal but bad weather was something of an offset.
 Packers selling counterbalanced in the provision market the influence of higher quotations on hogs.

FRMNESS FELT IN BOND PRICES
Market Is Kept Within Marrow Limits During
 Day

NEW YORK, Dec. 1s.-Bond prices fluctuated within narrow limits today but steady investment buying imparted a firm tine to trading. The firmer tendency of time money and accept ance rates, due to year-end influences, however, brought moderate recessions in Liberty bonds and discouraged any fresh speculative operations.
 Heavy oversubscription of tho $50,- 100000 Belgian loan offered today on a per cent yield basis was the principal feature of interest in investment circles. Bankers estimated that subscriptions exceeded the amount of the loan from three to five times and said that the demand for the new bonds compared fa- vorably with the response to the recent French loan. Meanwhile the new Greek bonds, which were sold yesterday, con- tinued to command a substantial pre- mium.
 Negotiations for a loan to Poland of between $30,000,000 and $40,000,000, re- ported underway in cables dispatches from Warsaw, have not yet reached the stage where an offering is in sight, al- -ers have been approached on the pro- posed financing.
 The most interesting price changes in bond trading were in individual shares. Among the rail issues which advanced was Delaware and Hudson convertible 5. Grand Trunk 7s, Great Northern Is and Central of Georgia 5hs. Robbins 6 Myers Is lost points on small turnover.
 Public offering will be made tomor- row of $7,00O,000 Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee 30-year per cent bonds at 9S, to yield 6.15 per cent.

 NEW YORK, Dec. 1s.-Stock prices bounded upward in today's curb mar ket, all classes participating in the ad- vance and a number creating new high records.
 Oils rallied in sympathy with tho bet ter demand for those issues on the "big board" Net gains of a point or more were recorded by Standard Oils of In- diana and New York, Gulf, Imperial and Northern Pipe.
 Radio shares gave one of the most impressive demonstrations of group strength. Dubilier touching record top at 65% and Ware at 87 and Freed to 31s. Buying of these issues was stimulated by reports of heavy holi- day demand for radio sets and the ex- ecution of favorable dividend develop ments on several issues in the near future.
 Lehigh Valley coal certificates re- sponded to the declaration of an initial quarterly dividend of SIPS by advanc- ing nearly points to Al. Other strong spots in the industrial group included Chapin Sacks & Co.,, which touched a new high at 1895, and Borden's. which closed points higher at 233.
 Steady accumulation of tho public utilities took place throughout the ses- sion, net gains of a point or moro be- ing registered by American Power Ss Light, American Gas & Electric.

COTTON MARKET LOSES ADVANCE
Day Closes At Net De- clines Of 23 To 29
 Points

NEW YORK, Dec. 1s.-The cotton market lost part of its recent advances in todays trading as result of real izing and a falling off in demand after rather active buying of the last few days March contracts eased off to 23.98c or 27 points net lower, about 35 points from the high level of yesterday, and ket closed barely steady at net de- clines of 23 to 29 points.
 The opening was steady at decline of five points to an advance of one point, The tone was strengthened by overnight buying orders and the con- tfnued bullish character of southern spot advices, but there was considerable selling on the relatively easy showing of Liverpool. Offerings were fairly well taken on moderate setbacks, but demand was much less active and aggressive than 1t was yesterday, while the real izing continued. Selling for reaction also was reported and at times trrfe appeared to be more selling orders here from the south.
 The market gradually worked lower, reaching the lowest levels of the day in the late trading wheR January sold at 23.55c and May at 24.33c, or 24 to 2s points net lower on the active posi- tions. One or two reports from the south suggested that the higher basis was bringing out little more cotton in the interior and some traders were inclined to anticipate a falling off in spot demand after filling of December market, although the majority of the advices from the south continued to emphasize the strength of the spot sit uation and local brokers attribute the bulk of the selling here to the realizing of recent Wall Street or commission house buying.
 Private cables reported London and continental selling in the Liverpool mar ket with continued price fixing at the decline.
 Exports today 26,182, making 3,9S3,- 672 so far this season. Port receipts 3S,- SIS. United States port stocks 1,514,- 923.

STOCK MARKET HITS NEW LEVEL
 NDAYS TRADING
Total Sales Exceed 2,000,- 900 For 18th Time
 Since Election

NEW YORK, Dec. 1s.-Stock prices gave another impressive demonstration of strength in today's market. both the rail and industrial averages being lifted to new high levels Total sales exceeded the two million share marks Tor the 18th time since election day.
 Lowering of the call money rate to 2h per cent and publication Of an in- terview with Secretary Mellon by the financial news tickers, quoting him as saving that he saw no danger in the present course of tho stock market, stimulated the buying of all classes Of stocks. Fifty-seven issues, including 17 rails and Il public utilities, attained new top prices. Many others, including United States Steel common, duplicated their previous 1924 highs.
 Revival of speculative interest in the oil shares, reflecting the more cheerful in the oil trade circles was one of the features of the days trading. Heavy buying of the Pan-American issues, each of which gained about 1A points on the day, was due, in part, to speculative expectation that the present $4 divi- dend would be increased next year, be- cause of the companys dominant posi- tion in the fuel oil market.
 Railroad shares were in active de-
  the buying in the eastern carriers. Del aware and Hudson was one of the fea- lures, being bid up points to a new tou at 13Sh. Lackawanna showed an extreme gain of 8 points at l4S, also a new top. Other issues to attain new meximum prices included Reading com mon and second preferred, Union Pa cific. Northern Pacific, Atchison, South ern Railway, Louisville and Nashville and New Haven, although the earlier gains were not maintained in all cases.
 Marked buoyancy developed in the merchandising issues, s. $. kresge standing out with a gain of more than IS points at $4.5oA. Sears-Roebuck was run up 5A points to 150 on the an no,ncement that the company was to open retail stores but it slipped back to 147A at the close. Woolworth and Gimbel Brothers touched new top prices on buying influenced by reports or un- usually heavy Christmas trade. A spirited demand for American Can Just before the close resulted in Jumping of more than nine points to 161, large ly at the expense of an overcrowded short interest. Other outstanding strong spots included General Electric, United Railways investment common and pre- ferred, American Republics, central Railroad of New Jersey Commercial Solvents B., Fisher Body. Gulf, Mobile and Northern preferred, Iron Products, Jewel Tea preferred, Market Street Rail- way preferred, Nash Motors, Tidewa- ter oil and West Pennsylvania Power, the net gains ranging from to points.
 Call money renewed at 3 per cent and then dropped to 21a where 1t closed. The time money market showed a hard ening tendency with business quiet. Commercial paper rates were un- changed.
 Foreign exchange rates held relative ly steady. Demand sterling moved up about %c to $4.69% and French francs ruled unchanged around 5.351 cents.
