NARROW RANCE
HOLD5COTTON

NEW YORK, Dec. IL 1N.SO.
The Cotton Market settled into
a narrow range again today after
yesterdays brief run-up, as trad
ing tapered off to marked de-
gree. Futures fluctuated within
an approximate 5-point range
and showed virtually no change
from the previous close.
Liverpool was somewhat i'm
proved, ruling l to American
points above due prices, but this
failed to inspire any buying OF
note in the local ring.
Domestic trade sources were in
the market for smadd quantities
of cotton, while Liverpool and
the continent were moderate buy
ers, but their combined demand
was of slight proportions. Con-
tracts were supplied in limited
amounts by spot firms and local
operators. Southern selling was
negligible.
Selling through Government
agencies. which in the past few
days was reputed to have run as
high as 100000 bales, appeared to
have run it's course today, at least
for the time being. The Govern
ment some time ago had approxi'
mately 10000 bales of long fu'
lures and if this is what is being
sold the bulk of offerings of this
sort has been we'll taken care OF.
Most of the theories Of the Gov"
ernment sales continued conjec::
tural, however, and an official
statement which it is said may
appear in few days is anXlously
awaited.
Noon quotations were l point
higher to / lower. December was
off / at 1882, January unchanged
at 1882, March up at 1880 and

THERE ought to be a course for
Il boys in feminine psychology,
if only for business reasons.
Well put aside the romantic for
the moment and concentrate upon
the practical, which the men so
admire.
Now if they we're the financial
wizards they think themselves in
stead of the obvious blunderers
they are, they would assume an
entirely different attitude toward
their women workers. They would
begin to praise them.
It's a well-known fact that
women and bird dogs are alike in
their natures. A pat on the head
will throw both into ecstaSieS of
joy and result in violent outburStS
of industry. The faintest sign of
appreciation converts them into a
state of abject slavery.
Men who have tried out this
system on their wives know it
works. Wouldn't you think, then,
they'd label it Business Efficiency
Fact No. L." since the woman in the
Office differs very little from her
home-body sister? They instruct
their junior partners to get as
much work as possible out Of their
men employees. Financial astute-
ness demands they do the same
with the women workers. But
even the feeblest intellect realizes
that the approach must be differ
ent.
Let's be specific Two girls I
know have built up a small, new
department in a good sized store
into a paying part of the concern.
In February they made a $500
profit. In March they increased
the sum to $4,000.
And the managers, being
smart" in the ways Of business,
swooped down upon them the first
day of April saying, We'll, Young
Ladies, we're off to a flying start.
Now let's put everything we've got
into it this month and see what
we can do. Remember our new

woman, at middle age, to blame all
of her problems on the fact that
she is not married. The fact that
her job is monotonous, that her
social contacts are limited, that she
has no vital interests to fill her
leisure-she attributes all of them
to her lack Of a husband. If she
had only married, she thinks, these
problems would have automatically
solved themselves.
The truth, Of course, is that
marriage-far from solving every
thing - brings a whole train of
added problems in its wake. House
work is at least as mOnotonous to
women as even the most routine
job. Social contacts are made more
difficult for the married, because
potential friends must prove con-
genial to two temperamentS instead
of to one alone. And the means Of
the middle-aged married woman
finds Of occupying her leisure are
very largely open to the single
woman as we'll.
We hear far fewer laments Of
wasted lives from wives than from
SpinSters. For one woman who
curses the marriage that took her
away from a promising career you
= will find several hundred single
women who regret their state. And
this is quite natural. for marriage is
the normal state of present human
kind.
Marriage Does Not Count
But does that mean that life must
end at 40 for the spinster? Not
bit more inevitably than it must
end at 40 for the married woman
and that is not at all. If the dis
contented Spinster will look about
her at the married women older
than 40 who are living full, rich
and happy lives she will be
surprised to find how few of their
activities are due to their married
state
Mrs. Thomas Hitchcock Sr., who
recently died, was 81 years old when
she won jumping events against
young women riders. She was 81
when she was thrown twenty feet
against a wire fence, was hurt, but
remounted and rode on. Down to
the year of her death, at ST, she
was one of the best horsewomen in
America.
Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt is 40. No
one could say that life ended for
her nine years ago. Yet how many
of her manifold and exciting &C
+ tivitieS are forbidden to the single
woman of ability and energy equal
to hers?
Mrs. Charles H Sabin was past
40 when the organization for the
repeal of prohibition got well
started. Do you think that such a
job could not have been under
taken by a single woman and as
thoroughly enjoyed?
1t is true that the married woman
can more easily live a we'll
rounded life than the single woman
The emotional side of her nature
is more apt to have found fulfil
ment. But there are other sides of
a perSon'S-even a woman'S-nature
than the emotional.
Life may end for a single woman
at 40 or at 80 or at % if she makes
no effort to keep herself alive. But
it need never end this side of an
octogenarian'S grave.

x Twelve of Hollywopds brilliant TstarS head the tremendous cast of noted players who appear in the Warner Bros. mammoth spectacle, f"Footlight Parade" which comes to the Capitol Theatre tomorrow.
 The two principles are James Cagney and Joan Blondell who played together on the stage and rose to stardom side by side on the screen, playing together in Sinners Holiday Blonde Crazy and The Crowd Roars,' before they began to star separately. And now they are united again in the "Footight Parade" as one of the greatest teams of wise cracking fast action players that ever to- gether appeared on the screen.
 Then there is that wholesome singing, dancing team of Ruby Keelor and Dick Powell who have made three distinctive hits In mu- sical spectacles with "42nd Street. Gold Diggers of 19339 and the cur rent production. The two make so perfect team as screen lovers that Warner Bros. plan to continue them also in such roles in non- musical pictures.
 Such noted comedians as Frank McHugh, Guy Kibbee, Ruth Don nelly and Hugh Herbert supply the comedy in the hilariously funny situations in "F'ootlight Parade.' Claire Dodd as the vamp, Gordon Westcott and Arthur Hohl as the two villains with Philip Faversham comprise another quartet of rec- ognized players.

 The O'Nenl play has uvcn pre- served intact, but before we see Jones about to flee from his voo- doo-supported throne, the life of the outlawed porter is portrayed in brief slices leading up to the eventful day when he is washed ashore on a tropical island, a fugi- tive from justice.
 His rise and fall, his avarice, his romances, his arrogance and his egotism, are all pictured, where as, in the original, Jones sins and transgressions are only discovered when ghosts of them turn up to be-devil him as he barges delir- iously through.
