You'll have real stand-out-from-the- crowd distinction when you wear Pattern 287 by Claire Tilden. The fashion highlight centers of course, on the smoothly curving bodice panel and waist-girdle that are cut in one piece. What a wonder fully slim and 1.-the effect this treat ment givesl The neckline may be a neat V-shape as shown on the larger figure, or you might prefer to use the wide pointed collar sketched in the small view.

Defense Spurs Peanut Growing,
Now a $50, 100000 Business

The peanut growing industry to-
day is a 100000 900 annual business
for Dixie's farmers.
There are $500 acres planted to
peanuts in the South, representing
a production last year of 1,734 4,000, 900
pounds, or better than a 10-pound
bag for every man, woman and child
in the United States.
Production today is more than
twice that of 1888 This years crop,
stunted by drought, is off IA per
cent from 1910, but Uncle Sam is
calling for more than two and one
half billion pounds and the addition
of 100000 acres planted to peanuts
in 1912.
The government has announced
that farmers can plant an unre-
stricted acreage of peanuts for oil in
1912, while efforts are being made to
guarantee a satisfactory, stable
price. Prices for peanuts for oil now
range from $65 to $85 ton.

Power Pool Urged 10 Avert
Shortage in South
By the Associated Press


ATLANTA, Oct. ia pooling of
the power resources of the Tennes-
see Valley Authority and the Com
monwealth & Southern Corp, a
group of technicians decided here
yesterday, would avert at least until
November 10 threatened power
shortage in Tennessee, Alabama
and Georgia.
In announcing this, Chairman
Walter R. Mcdonald of the Georgia
Public Service Commission said that
if rain did not relieve the current
drought by that time a curtailment
of power usage by 20 to 25 per cent
would be necessary in the three
States unless Carolina Utilities con-
tributed to the pool.
The meeting was attended by pub
lie and private utility experts from
the Carolinas, Tennessee, Georgia
and Alabama. Their purpose was to
determine what could be done to al
leviate a developing power shortage.
Mcdonald said the technicians
found that the Commonwealth &
Southern storage reservoirs in the
area had only enough water left to
last a week or 10 days, but that a
pooling arrangement with the T.
v. A. would enable the company to
meet power demands until Novem-
ber 10.

Chongesin Week
By the Associated Press.

% VIC AoeONlhNtu
NEW YORK, Oct. lS-Tense sit
uations in Russia and the Far East
outweighed all other influences in
major cash commodity markets this
week and sent prices of many
staples into the sharpest downward
spiral since May, 1910.
BY the close of the week, how
ever, confidence had returned some
what and most staples had re-
gained at least portion OF their
losses. For the week as a whole,
the Associated Press weighted index
of 35 spot wholesale commodity
prices declined to 90.30 from 91.S9
the previous week.
The downtrend was started early
in the week by news of a new Argen-
tine trade agreement lowering duties
on fats. oils and meats. With ths
rapid worsening Of the Russian Sit
uation, the weakness spread to
grains and when the japanese cabi-
net resigned wheat futures cracked
the 10-cent limit. Later, part of the
losses were recovered.
Farm products were the biggest
losers during the week. Cotton,
hogs, lard and -four as well as wheat
showed substantial declines. Oats,
rye, lambs, corn and eggs were also
lower. Butter lost ground again as
Dig supplies continued to unsettle
the market.
Among the few staples selling at
nlgner prices during the week were
cement, turpentine, coffee and

Brisk Rally
All Groups Join Rise;
Average Is Boosted
0.4 of q Point
BY BERNARD S. O'HARA,

NEW YORK, Oct. ia brisk
rally in all departments today sup
piled happy ending to a generally
unhappy week in the stock market.
The performance was highlighted
by rise of a of point in the Asso-
ciated Press 60-stock average, the
best upturn in this measure since
September II. On Thursday the
market suffered the widest drop
since April 8, amounting to 8 of a
point, and on the week the composite
showed a net loss of g of a point.
Transfers of 296,13 we're the largest
for a short session since August 9
and compared with 227,050 a week
ago.
TodayS move was a carry through
of recovery which gained fair mo-
mentum just before the close on Fri
day.
Buying Interest Revives.
Co-incident with some easing in
the recently acute fears over the
danger of conflict with Japan, there
was moderate revival of buying in
tereSt in the aircraftS, steels, motors,
rubbers, rails and industrial special
ties. Closing gains ranged from
fractions to around 2 points.
Other factors in the more conf
dent speculative sentiment were
firmness in commodities and reports
that Russian counterattacks had ar
rpCtod nf thu GaTY,p
the Moscow front. 1t was theorized
the new victory" program projected
in Washington would enlarge back
logs of the major defense industries,
but in this connection Wall Street
did not overlook the prospects for
more industrial dislocations as the
Government strives for maximum
production goals.
Analysts suggested that the re-
covery could be credited, at least
in part, to conditions within the
market, pointing out that prices had
been in an almost steady decline
since late September. This slide,
1t was argued, discounted a good
deal of unfavorable news and put
the market in the way of develop
ing a resistance level.
Showing final gains were United
States Steel, Bethlehem, Chrysler,
United States Rubber. Caterpillar,
Douglas, United Aircraft, Console
dated Aircraft, Dupont. American
Can, Santa Fe and Great Northern
Pfd. New highs for the year were
posted by Atlantic Gulf e. West In
dies common and preferred.
Improve on Curb.
In the curb better prices ruled for
aluminium, Ltd, Creole Petroleum
and International Petroleum. Trans
actions here were around $1,000
shares against $1,000 the previous
Saturday.
The Stock Market had to absorb q
number of shocks during the week
and until the turn on Friday trends
were controlled by disturbing for
eign news. Putting the list off bal
ance Tuesday, after the holiday re-
cess, was flow of selling based on
fears of an impending Russian COL
lapse
Under this ominous shadow the
decline continued Wednesday.
Thursdays dip was accelerated by
news of the Japanese cabinet over
turn and a violent break in COM
modify prices.
The comeback Friday was in
terrupted momentarily by the an
nouncement of the torpedo attack
on the United States destroyer
Kearny, but at the close prices
were moderately improved and COM
modities in many cases retrieved a
large part of Thursdays setback.
