CUTTEN HAD SEEN THOSE SORRY
 WRECkS"

Those soaring boom days of the POS and theh ultimate sudden crash in '29 have become period of American history and the older who played a part in them are gradually dropping from the picture. One Of the financially successful has passed in the death of Arthur w Cutten of Chi cago the wheat king of his time Cutten played both sides Of the market and always he made money
 During the boom his group earned the title Big Ten" although it was said actually to com prise a greater number of the biggest plungers in the country.
 The Big Ten" deals in U S. Steel Montgomery Ward, International Harvester Radio Corporation of America and other stocks with sensational results Cuttens profits in Montgomery Ward early in 1928 were reckoned "conservatvely" at $l80OOOOO and by the less conservative at the dazzling sum of S35 100000
 Cutten, as usual was noncommittal but in 1s33 when the banking committee of the Federal Senate investigated the boom Cutten testified he and group of friends had made $12OOO,OOO in Consolidated Oil Company stock.
 In September 1929 Cutten posed for a portrait The sittings kept him away from the ticker for short periods for time. When the painting was finished, friend praised it. Cuttens reply perfect key to the spirit of the day was:
 Tt was too expensive-it cost me Sl00000O0
 His losses in the days and months of cascading quotations after the catacysm of October 1929 were reported to have been comparable to his winnings but he cushioned his losses some extent He learned to play the game the bear side and returned to the grain market to recoup
 It was this move that brought about his disbar- ment by the Grain Futures Administration He was cited April H. 1884 charge of failing to report his grain holdings to the Government in accordance with a rule which called for such reports from brokers and individuals when any one person held 5OOoOO bushels or more any one wheat option, or was short" that much
 The Government produced evidence that Cutten had accounts in the names of his wife numerous friends and relatives, and designated merely by numbers. The charge that he had jugged his holdings to keep each account below 5Oo0OO bush els but that in 1880 he had at times been short as much as 100000 bushels and in 1881 6000O00.
 The evidence revealed that he had been con- sistent bear with total short holdings of 37 900 OoC bushels in 1880 and 36O0O000 in 1881 During the period of his operations, the government charged

NEW YORK, October 17.-Corpo-
rate liens continued in good call today,
with rails and industrials achieving
the best gains.
The carrier issues were supported
at levels ranging from fractions to
around a point above previous finals.
Buying activities appeared to be due
in part to favorable sentiment inspired
by the six-year peak established by
the weekly carloadings and forecasts
OF further substantial gains in October
revenues.
st. Paul IS, Great Northern Is,
Nickel Plate AIS, Missouri Pacific IS
and Southern Railway As were among
the gamers. Allis-C Chalmers As scored
another sharp gain in the first hour
but other industrials lately favored
were quieter.

Intricate NecL1lines Are
Feature of Fall Frocks

Daytime dresses this fall will all
have high necks, but with diff
ference. Lingerie touches, flowers
and all fussiness have gone, and in
their place are intricate cutting,
draping and subtle fullness.
With these new neckline develop
ments, jewels are more necessary
than they have been for years.
Multiple strands of pearls, semi
precious stone chollers to add color
contrast to a somber costume, big
pins, combining several colors and
kinds Of gems often set in gold, will
all be worn, and so will bracelets,
for sleeves at the wrist are slim
and plain.
For early fall, before coats are
necessary, smart women will wear
longer gloves with their bracelets
or watches over them.

Ensembles for Every Hour of
Day Is Keynote.

Dramatic ensembles for every
hour Of the day, is the keynote Of
the daytime collection Of two hun
dred and fifty models shown by the
Style Creators of Chicago, in their
fashion prevues.
Costume suits are significant
fashions because American women
prefer the finished look" of an en-
sembled costume which includes
frock and coat; or skirt, blouse and
coat; or skirt, tunic and coat, etc.
Lavishly trimmed coats with
matching skirts and blouses ar e
especially smart for fall. The satin
or lame blouse which changes the
afternoon or 'dressy daytime suit
into more formal dinner hour
costume is also stressed. Velvet
suits for formal wear with fur
trimmed dresses, and occasionally
a cape costume in picturesque styl-
ing
Some full-length coats are shown
with tunics and peplum blouses over
skirts to match the coats. Flat
furs are shown in fur coats with
cloth or silk frocks in other cos
tune suit types.
Straight hanging lines are liked
best in the cape suits, with con-
cealed pleats at the back to give
a full swing and allow freedom of
movement for the arms.

FaIsssifesr1nIl Plans
Grade Work. Has
New Play Court
Preparations M de for
Larger Enrolment
This Fall

Among the improvements being
made at Fassifern School for Girls
this summer, preparing for larg-
err enrolment this fall, is a room
especially designated and fitted
for the grade work of the school.
Fassifern accepts students in the
fifth, sixth and seventh grades,
preparing them for high school,
and then offers a very thorough
course for the four years of high
school or college preparatory
work.
This new room has been built
adjoining the new gymnasium and
the young girls who attend will
have easy access to this large
room for their exercises on in
clement days. Miss Catherine
Howard, of Georgia, who was in
charge of the physical education
department last year will be IN
charge again this year and Will
see that the young children have
exercises and games suited TO
their age and size. !.
The front door of this beauti-
full new room opens out on a play
court where various equipment
will be provided suitable for the
Young children. Mrs. j. B. Hill
house is at the head of this de-
partment. This is Mrs. Hillhouse's
fourth year at Fassifern where
she has made an enviable record
as a teacher Of young children.
DR.. Sewer, the president, an
nounces that he is now RECEIVING
enrollments for this as well as the
high school department of the
school. ~
Many parents in Hendersonville
are interested in such a school as
this for their little children and
will doubtless take advantage OF
the opportunity to consult Mr.
Woodward, the principal, or Mrs.
Woodward, the dean, who are at
the school every day to see callers.
