Cotton Market
Shows Decline
ny United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Further
scattered long liquidation caused a
further decline of about so cents a
bale in the cotton market today.
Trading however was comparatively
light with the result that a steadier
tone developed later in the session.
Selling was largely encouraged by
the discouraging action of the mar
ket yesterday. Local interests ap-
parently were disappointed over the
failure of the market to maintain
rallies recently.
Reports from cotton goods CEN
tiers were discouraging.

Themes for many of the tribal songs

center around the whale and the
sea, according to Miss Frances Dens-

tribes customs.
The Makah live near Neah Bay,
Cape Flattery, and before the white
man came. the whale was the main
item of food supply. The whale was
to the Makahs what the buffalo was
to the tribes on the plains.
Photograph records of more than

Every State bank In Nebraska is

In some cases the bank remains
open and the commission loans
money from the guarantee fund to

In other cases, the bank Is closed

Burden Not On Innocent
The losses, in case of bank fall
ure, are borne by the other bankers
Of the State and the stockholders.
The burden of loss is not placed, as
is ordinarily the case, on the in
nocent depositors.
1t is absolutely necessary for the
success of such a law, Shallenberger
says, that the State bankers should
have something to say about who
shall be permitted to go into the
banking business that there should
be strict limitation and regulation.
Commission Contrals
1t is also necessary to have the
control of a falling bank taken over
by a banking commission, rather
than to put it in the hands of re-
ceiver appointed by the court.

A school which teaches only one
subject is unique in the local educa
tional field, yet the Master School of
Interior Decoration. 1905 Connecticut

highly specialized practical education

principle the Master School specializes
exclusively in the interior decorative
arts, employing instructors who are
experts in their respective lines. Stu
dents are under their personal direc-
ton and are thus assured thorough
technical and practical training.
The school texts are by acknowl
edged authorities, are most compre-
hensive and easily understood and the
course finishes within Is months, in
Guiding two months and a half of
Summer vacation.
Students attend two one-hour periods
per week and one two-hour session in
drawing, color and lectures every
other week. Cooperating with the
trade. the school makes every effort
to obtain suitable positions for those
students who have passed satisfac-
tory final examination.
Arrangements are now under way
for a new beginners class to take up
studies early in October and further
