COOPERATION NEEDED

BOSTON, Oct. 26 (H9-The clearest
lesson that "long siege of unprofit-
able conditions" from which it is now
emerging, has taught the cotton in
duStry is the need for cooperation,
President William b. MacColl of Paw
tucket, r. l., today. told members of
the National Association of Cotton
Manufacturers here for their 62nd an
nual convention.
''The recovery has been slower than
expected, but it apparently required
an experience such as we have passed
through to arouse, US sufficiently to
organize a great clearing house such
as the cotton textile institute" he said.
Ernest G. Moore, who has charge of
the department devoted to extending
existing uses and developing new uses
for cotton, declared that the new
trend toward the material had result
ed in one New York store selling styled
dresses for from 500 to $85 each, with
piece goods as high as $4.30 yard.
He predicted fuller and longer skirts
with flares, princess effects and cir
cular designs in greater popularity.
Mr., Morse revealed that in other
directions the institute was engaged in
promotion activities ranging from de-
velopment of fireproof awning to-an

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Oct 26 (P0-Wheat prices
tended upward today whereas corn
underwent a lively tumble. Export
demand for North American wheat
broadened, with total purchasing fig
ured at 100000 bushels. BeariSh pri-
vate crop estimates on corn yield were
being looked for in some quarters.
Wheat closed unsettled, nc to 5sc
net higher, corn 1%c to 2Hc off, oats
at. 3sc decline to NC advance and pro-
visions unchanged to setback of 50c
Much of the speculative demand for
wheat today was on the basis that
United States wheat prices are too
low, compared to Winnipeg and Liver
pool. In this connection, special stress
was laid on talk that this country'S
wheat is at present the best available
anywhere. Reports were also current
that mills at Minneapolis were pur-
chasing future deliveries, December in
particular, and that unsettled weather
threatened to hamper the Canadian
crop movement in parts OF the prairie
provinces. On the other hand, pre-
dicted frosts in Argentina failed to
appear and corn weakness had a bear
iSh effect at times, although some OF
the selling of corn was in the nature
of spread against buying Of wheat

COTTON HELPS
FARM CONDITION
SAYS .JARDIINE

WASHINGTON Oct. 26 P)-Cotton
has played an important part in the
marked improvement in the farm Sit
uation as compared with this time a
year ago, Secretary Jardine said to-
day in reviewing the farm situation
The improvement in cotton affected
nearly a third of million farms, he
said
Pointing out that the cotton crop Is
approximately a third smaller than
last year, according to October esti-
mates, and that cotton prices are
more than a third higher than last
year, he said the south could sell this
years crop for nearly 100000 more
than last years production, based on
october prices.
The good weather which has been
prevailing has not made any more
cotton, the secretary said, because. the
crop was made early this year and the
boil weevil has destroyed that made
late. Because of the good weather

NEW YORK, oct 26 R-A lack of
uniformity marked price movements in
the stock market today, after a squirt
of buying stimulated by the record
breaking earnings report of the Gen
eral Motors corporation had run its
course. Quotations on many issues,
which had moved up briskly in the
morning, turned downward when profit
taking developed in various groups,
and bear pressure against u. S. Steel,
Greene Cananea Copper, Houston Oil,
and other speculative features, hast
ened the reactionary movement. Re-
newed buying toward the end of the
session brought about some late rallies,
but nevertheless a number of leading
issues closed the day with net losses
of to 3 points or more.
News developments were of mixed
character, the most significant being
General Motors big increase and u S.

FILM WOMEN SHY. |
AT CAFE BUSINESS
Feminine Stars Put Money
Into Other Investments.
Men Back Restaurants.
Correspondents of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD, Calif.-It may be
that the girl who once breaks away
from cooking and dish-waShing by
going into motion pictures Is content
to let well enough alone. At any rate
feminine film players, though they
readily become financially interested
in flower shops. beauty parlors, real
estate operations and even garages
and service stations. generally fight
shy of the restaurant business as a
field for the investment of their
cinema savings.
Among the men of the movies the
eatlnghouse idea is more popular.
Henry Bergman, who has been in the
cast of every Charles Chaplin picture
for the past Il years, operates one OF
the most prosperous cafes on the
boulevard. Raymond Mckee, come
dian. runs an exotic chicken-dinner
establishment on the highway north
Of Hollywood. James Hall, one Of the
younger blond heroes of the screen.
has invested some of the profits Of
his film success in doughnut station
where one can get whole-wheat dough-
nuts between swims at the beach.
But If any prominent film women
have put money into cafes. they have
kept their ventures a secret. Bebe
Daniels said not long ago that she
would like to open a real Spanish
cafe" in Hollywood, but that apparent
ly Is as far as it went. Being film
colony food barons simply doesn't
seem to appeal to the women Of the
screen.

NOISE-MAKiNG INSECTS
HAVE SENSE OF HEARING
Scientist Believes Organs Producing
Sound Also May Serve
Purpose Of Ears.
Correspondence Of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
BERLIN.-Insectst that chirp. pipe.
sing or hum must be gifted with a
sense of hearing. concludes Prof.
Norbert in an article in the Volks-
zeitung. He argues that such noises
voluntarily produced can only be in.
tended for insects of the same species
and not for other living beings.
Prof. Norbert thinks a certain organ
that has been located on the legs of
crickets and on the stomach of locusts
may very well serve the same purpose
as the ear in the human being. This
organ consists of a concavity over
which a membrane Is faulty stretched
which Is caused to vibrate by any
distinct tone and thereby stimulates
the underlying nerve.
The writer describes the experiment
of playing a high tone as closely as
possible to such an insect. Crickets.
he says, will be seen instantly to
stretch out their feelers in the direc-
ton of the tone, while locusts will
manifest by similar signs that they
hear the tone. Butterflies and dragon.
flies, on the other hand. can never be
induced to respond in the least to any
kind Of tone. not even to a bugle
blown with full lung power in the
closest proximity.
