EXCHANGE RISE
 BOOSTS COTTON
Dawes Report Causes Op- timism For Future For
 Foreign Trade
By Webster

NEW YORK. April 6.-(By Asso- ciated Press.)-A more cheerful sem timent developed in business and finan- cial circles last week. Considerable op- timism was expressed with regard to the Dawes committee report. Atten. tion also was given reports of better prospects for tax reduction. Securities and commodities rallied briskly, appar- ently because the market was oversold. Foreign exchange rates also displayed considerable strength.
 One of the most spectacular recov- cries of the week occurred in cotton. Liverpool led the advance, apparently impressed with the prospects for better business in Europe, with the added Flu ropean purchasing power implied in the advancing exchange rates. Short cover- ing was heavy here and its effect was augmented by foreign and domestic trade buying. May rose above 30 cents, a gain of 4 cents from the low of less than two weeks ago.
 Car L0adings Decrease
 Car loading figures for the week ended March p disclosed another slight decrease compared with the previous week. For the first time since early in the year, the total was smaller than for the corresponding week of 1923.
 These decreases were attributed to a

SKIN DEEP BEAUTY
 MYTH, SAYS ARTIST
American Women Lead All
 Others, Declares Painter

LOS ANGELES, Cal, April 6.-The old saying that "beauty is only skin deep" is untrue, according to Ernest Linnenkamp, Austrian artist, who has been characterized by Professor Traut- gle, Yiennese art museum historian, as ''the most celebrated portrait painter in central Europe
 Beauty is discernible in a woman through her eyes, which mirror the soul" he told an interviewer here. "ln- telligence is as necessary an adjunct to real beauty as a perfect form or d finely modelled nose, and no woman is really beautiful unless she has the nat uralness that comes with perfect breed ing"
 The Austrian painter, who is now living here, is in the United States with commission from the Amaithea Veriag, publishing firm of Zurich, Switzerland. to paint what he con- siders the 15 most beautiful types of American wOmanhood. '.t
 Linnenkamp says so far he has only found seven to measure up to his stand ards of feminine pulchritude. Neither the movies nor the stage have provided any of these seven.
 'The beauty of the American wom- an is like the quintessence' of a rare flower" he said. From every cline and country in the world she has devel- oped into pure mixture, embracing the finest from all, until now T. con slider the American woman the most beautiful on earth"

HERE'S WHAT HOOCH DOES FOR MANKIND
British Board Bares Secret, But
 Withholds Source

LONDON, April, 6.-Following its advice to ambitious drinkers to start the evening off with glass of milk. the government advisory board of the central control board on alcohol has found out-it does not say how-what hooch does for humanity.
 What is there about alcohol that constitutes the secret of it's charm, it's we'll nigh universal attraction for the human raceF' the board asks itself.
 Tt gives a sense of careless we'll be- ing or of bodily and mental comfort 2 the board replies. e"In so far as this sense of well being is of bodily origin, it is no doubt due tosa flushing of the skin with blood that abolishes' all sense of chill.
 But it is due also in part to a blunt ing of the sensibility to the small aches and pains and thousand hardly dis tinguishable sense impressions which, except in those in perfect health, con tribute to tip the balance of bodily feeling-tone to the negative or unpleas- ant side"
 Then the board tells it's readers when, It ever, they have had enough:
 There comes a stage in drunkenness when man leads double life. His inner self, detached observer with fold ed hands, watches his bodily actions with surprise, conSternation or amuse- ment. He may become aware of wearing facial expressions, of making gestures, or of uttering remarks which ne did not intend and cannot wholly repress, but which seem to him to he executed by his members of their own initiative"

COTTON REGAINS
 OVER 45O POINTS
RecOvers $22.50 A Bale In Little More Than
 A Week

NEW ORLEANS, April 6.-The past week has, in the opinion of most traders. witnessed the turning of the corner from a long siege of declining prices into period of recovery. The May delivery reached its lowest price for the season Thursday of last week when it traded as low as 26.6O. In yesterdays brief Saturday session May advanced to 31.14, a recovery in lit tie more than week of 454 points, or $22.50 a bale.
 Of course, so considerable an ad- vance was accompanied by very active trading and rather wide fluctuations as the recovery was not accomplished without stubborn resistance on the part of the interests opposed to an ad- vancing market at the present time, l but every dip was followed by rallies constantly increasing in scope until the thoroughly frightened shorts started to cover freely and found contracts scarce and consequently had to bid the market up rapidly in buying back what they had sold.
 The principal cause for the advance | included the persistent unfavorable weather in the south, which has further delayed the planting of the new crop i; strong Liverpool and Manchester a growing appreciation of the strength of the statical position and revival of the demand for dry goods.
 Manchester, which but a short time ago was bemoaning slack trade, resort ing to short time, now reports active business with broad demand for cloths from India and China, and predicts that all mills will soon be running full | time if the scarcity of labor permits. On this side of the Atlantic, dry goods | buyers, who for so long restricted | themselves to hand-to-mouth policy, have suddenly commenced to buy in large lots and heavy sales of cotton goods were reported in New York dur ing the last few days, totalling in the neighborhood of half a million pieces. Fall River also reports sales of 100000 1 pieces of print cloths for the week, the largest sales in a long time.
 Although there was a moderate reac- tion from the high points reached on Saturday, owing to evening up for over the Sunday holiday, the undertone re- mained strong at the close.

3OO-TON CUSTER
 OPENS OIL BOOM
 FOR GER MANY
New Field May Gompen- sate Loss Of Alsatiah
 Basin UnGer Treaty
By FERDINAND HAHN
 tLsased Wire to The Aae. < eraid)

BERLIN, April 6.--Oil we'll struck near Celle, in the province of Han mover, will supply Germany with at least ninth of her needs if the initial flow continues. And has promoted a German oil boom reminiscent of Oklahoma and California.
 The well so far is yielding 300 tons daily, while it is estimated that the coantry. will need about 900, 900 tons in 1924.
 Under the Versailles treaty Germany lost the. Alsatian wells, producing a yearly average of 10000 tons The maximum German oil output was only 43,00O tons in 1923.
 Shines Kept Out Practically all German oil wells be- long to the "Deutsche- Erdoel Aktien Gesellschaft' (Germany Oil c0mpany) |. which also owns the new. we'll. Stinnes during the last year has tried to get in the oil business, but as far as production is concerned, his interests are insignificant.
 All German oil wells, worth men tioning are located in the Celle dis trict. <aI
 They were struck at two or three hundred meters, and thesma jority of the experts did not suspct oil strata in Germany in greater depths. .
 Despite the universal scpeticism which their enterprise encountered, the company's engineers continued to drive their pipes deeper and deeper, till finally, 700 meters below the sur face, they were rewarded.
 Fever" Sets In
 The great success has caused the widest agitation. A real prospecting fever" has seized the population. Every land owner in the district dreams of being made millionaire through the ''liquid gold a
 Within the last few days not less than 40 new contracts to explore for oil in the Celle district have been concluded Stinnes is showing great activity. He started to sink numerous new wells near the villages of Sehnde, Rethmar and Lebke, which, according to earlier contracts, form his field of action. He is understood also to be negotiating new. contract for explora- tion in various other places. A number of new oil companies are being founded for the purpose of drilling for oil in the new Fl Colorado"

February, but slackening- came in the last 10 days. The market was slightly easier and there was disposition to expect some reduction in output. The best judges did not anticipate a snd- den or large decrease in operations, pointing to the large volume of build ing construction under contract, apd to the big railroad orders for material to be used in improving rights of way.
 Preliminary figures placed automo. bile production in March at 356, 900 passenger vehicles and trucks. Allow ing about 10 per cent for trucks, this means approximately 320,OO0 passenger cars. These figures confirmed the re- ports that production schedules were reduced about 15 per cent during ths month. It was pointed out in the trade. however, that an unusual mum Der of cars were made during January and February, as the manufacturer, wished to anticipate the spring de. mand. The trade continued to be sat. isfied that the curtailments had placed the situation in proper balance. Ip the rate of the first quarter is continued through 1924, the output of motor ve- hicles will be approximately 4,OOO, O,OO(.

sharp slackening in car loadings, for stocks of coal were built up against the possibility of strike on April 1. Pro- duction and loadings of coal have de- creased rapidly since the middle of Feb. ruary, when it became apparent there would be no strike.
 Meanwhile there was no reduction in the movement of general merchandise and less than carload freight, which continued to run ahead of the move ment at this time last year.

aAduchEy AdFE Adttly been presented by the owners, or turn. ed over on the easiest of terms, to as sociates and employees. This weeks newspapers report that one New York hosiery man left more than $100, 900 te his associates and workers.
 After all, most busy business men come into. closer contact with and sec much more of the co-wokers thar their distant relatives. Moreover heads of firms are coming to realize more and more that they owe their sue cess in no small measure to the co. operation of those about them.
 The likelihood is that this practice of treating associates and workers more generously than distanct relatives is likely to spread all over the country.
 Another significant and gratifying development is the steady, even rapid purchase of shares of companies by their employees.
 Think of it: In one month (Jahu. aryl, no fewer than 11,079 of the New York Telephone company employees sub scribed for stock of the parent company American Telephone and Telegraph They subscribed for ,36,75S shares, WHICH tOudy nave &markeC value 0I about $4, 4,730,000.
 Before then employees had finished paying for 129, ,336 shares, worth today approximately $16,650O00. This This means that employees have sub scribed for total of $21,095,0 worth of stock.
 Employes of the Pennsylvania rail road have purchased through their Elm. ploees' Prevalent and Loan association 1866 shares of the road. This repre- sents at current quotations about $90O,- 900. A report giving these figures was issued this week.
 Public utility corporations have been particularly enterprising in inducing not only their employees but their GUS toners to subscribe for their stocks and bonds.
 This is one step towards industrial democracy, which has distinctly more advantages thatn disadvantages. Low-priced railway shares still look attractive.
 Don't fool with the French franc Because it has had sensational rise is no guarantee that it will continue to stay up. And commodity, or security
