Cotton Prices Down

New York, Oct. s.-(R)-Thrown In
to combustion by the governments
forecast of the largest cotton crop on
record, the cotton market underwent
another drastic reaction today with
prices plunging downward to pre-war
levels around 12s cents pound. The
days extreme break amounted to -
bale, but mill buying brought about
partial recoveries and the net losses
ranged from 81 to $3.50 bale.
Since September s, when the depart
ment of agriculture estimated the
yield at 15,166,000 bales, as compared
with the latest prediction of 16,627, 900.
the market value of cotton has fallen
approximately 500 a bale. The severi-
ty Of this decline has been uneaualled
since the postwar depression sent the
price of cotton below IL cents a pound
in 1921.
The excessively large acreage town
last spring in defiance Of warnings
from bankers, merchants and men,
bers OF the big cotton exchanges, were
blamed for the present situation by
leaders in the trade. Aided by excep-
tionally favorable growing weather
most of the season, and almost ideal
conditions in the past month, the crop
piled up in overwhelming volume I'M
til the market was inundated with the
white staple.
Serious efforts recently have been
made by government and private agen-
cies, through the media of tones and
other relief measures, to steady the
market. Cotton brokers today express
ed the belief that with the commodity
so far under the cost of production the
time might be near at hand for large
scale investment purchases. The chief
hope for restoring the market to a
sounder basis, it was said, now rests
on the absorption of several million
bales by large consumers.

'CRABTREES HAD
Not HEARD OF.
WEDDING

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. IA P.-Two
cousins of the late Lolita Crabtree
testified in Suffolk probate court
today that they never heard of the
alleged marriage of Jack Craptret
and Annie Leopold, on which Mrs.
Carlotta Cockburn, of San Gabr1en,
Calls, bases her claim to be legal
niece of the former actress and en-
titled to share in her $4,0oo,oo6
estate. SIS s,.egt
Mrs Gockburn contends that her
parents were married in San Fran,
cisco in 1879 and then went to TOMB
stone Ariz., where she was born.
Counsel for the special administrators
! Of the Crabtree estate, who have petf'
toned the court to find that Mrs.
Cockburn is not an heir at law ana
unqualified to contest the will, today
offered evidence to show that Ann:e
Evylin Crabtree, daughter of PeteA-
j. Harris, of Boston, was the wife OF
! Jack Crabtree.
Two death certificates, recording
the death of Annie Evyl:n Crabtree at
Braintree October 49,, 1918, as well
as other documents and letters were
introduced as further proof of the
! marriage. The letters included u
number which had passed between
Lotta. John A., and Annie Crabtrec,
from 1902 to 1908. One, addressed to
Mrs Annie Crabtree and signed "Jac,''
the initials Of Jack Crabtree, told how
the writer had won SIT on a Balti-
more. horse race. The cousins of
-T.otta, who declared themselves ignor-
ant of the reported marriage between
Jack Crabtree and Annie Leopold
were Sarah Ann Crabtree, of Birken-
head, England, and Mrs. Annie S,
Fretwell, of San Francisco, both of
whom received an annuity of $1,000
under the will.
Both testified that Jack Crabtrse
was known as John Ashworth, Jr.

years today but she invited third
to attend the reunion and that one

Kipchal, "a taxi driver, was, at his
stand today at 125th street when a
woman with gaiily crimson hat was
seen to climb hesitantly to the rail
of the Riverside drive viaduct, 115
feet above Then the hat disappeared;
fear for the moment had conquered
grim resolve.
Again the gay hat appeared above
the rail and again it disappeared. A
crowd gathered in the street and
shouts were raised to attract atten

highest in starch of all vegetables.
Lima and navy beans, known gener-
ally as baked beans, have the added
merit of containing high percentage
of protein and for that reason they
/ form a we'll balanced dish. Red kid
ney beans are much the same. Only
a point or two lower than potatoes
in starch are peas. This is fortunate
for they are always well-liked and a
can of peas may be. prepared In a
number of tasty ways. Neck and neck
with peas in starch and i'll goodly pro-
portion of protein, we find parsnips
and right close behind comes corn.
Other vegetables that must not be
neglected in the diet that gives energy
are squash and stringless beans, also
turnipS.
Hot vegetables make the best lunch
con for school children. With minds
set on getting back to the school room
and the playground, they are inclined
to hurry and should therefore lunch
on easily digested food. Milk. of
course, they must have, pint a day
each at the very least, and fruits.
Hawaiian pineapple, for instance, has
not only minerals, energizing sugar
galore in its syrup, but large pro-
tein content as well. This is true OF
many other canned fruits.
Cream soups supply milk in the diet
very well, and soup as first course
lhas its best use in preparing the, stem-
ach for its task of digesting other
foods. Among the most important
soups in calory and vitamin content
Iare first, cream of tomato soup, ther
