The cotton market moved through
another dull session today, closing
20 to so cents a bale higher. A lack
of offerings rather than new devel-
oprnents accounted for the steady
tone as small mill buying and local

Prices at one time showed gains
of as much as 70 cents a bale al

which there should be four to five
cups, in a large enamel saucepan.
Measure the ground meat and add
to the stock. Then add an equal
quantity of quick-cooking rolled
oats and one teaspoon Of salt. Mix
thoroughly. The mixture should be
quite thick: If necessary, add more
oats. Cook over direct heat until
the boiling point is reached, stirring
constantly. Then set the pan of

Card Parade
BY Dorothy BihIman

The usual pictorial story of
America and its way OF life is again
represented in the 1914 Christmas
cards featuring varied scenes, such
as snow-covered landscapes, Christ
mas activity in the rural manner,
the gay decorations Of the big city,
cheerful homes with old friends be-
ing warmly greeted, and the peace
tul, friendly group of family and
pets gathered around the glowing
fireplace. A few extremely modern
istic cards are also among this years
supply for those whose taste runs
in that direction.
II you'll stop to remember two
years ago, the Christmas card in
dustry went overheard with their
interpretations Of service and camp
life. Activities from reveille to
taps, from submarines to planes,
were covered in complete detail and
this type of card was In the ma
jority. Then last year the trend
changed and adopted more seri-
Gus aspect Top honors went to
the ones emphasizing the message
OF hope, faith and peace. Although
again this year one can secure cards
OF martial vein, you'll find them
greatly in the minority.
Some of Americas leading con-
temporary artists have contributed
to the 1914 collection. The display
shows what they are doing today
to keep the real spirit of Christ
mas ever fresh and alive. No con-
flning restrictions were placed upon
them as to subject matter or treat
ment, with the result the public has
a wide choice of subjects over which
to browse, and from which to make
a selection. That is-at the present
time there is wide assortment
However, we were informed the sup
ply may start to dwindle rapidly, sc
perhaps you'd better take the HIM
and put your Christmas card buying
at the top of the shopping list. q
Special cards for mother, dad
wife, husband, sweetheart and other
members of the family are about
the same as usual. The verses are
nice and usually very fitting to the
individual.

the popular custom of having your

Dorothy Dix SAYS

girl gauges her success by the num-
Der Of dates she has, and in her
desire to be thought a man-killer
she often initiates the number of
perfectly marvellous men she could
have married.
So take your wife's stories about
her conouests with a grain of salt.
She thinks she makes herself more
desirable to you by bragging out
how crazy the boys were about her,
and that she makes you a little
jealous by pretending that she was
in love with some of them. 1t is
common strategy with wives. So
just tell her that since you are the
last one she loved it doesn't matter

Dear Miss Dix: I am married to
a girl In whom I have lost all faith
Before we were married I thought
she was the sweetest person in the
world, but soon after we were mar
ried she told me about number
of boys she had gone with, and
from her stories I gathered that she
was quite boy crazy.
She is very gay and has the most
wonderful knack for making friends.
Do you think girl of % could have
a dozen love affairs and two en-
gaeements and still stay nice and
sweet? She says that ali of her
affairs were innocent, but I can't
help wondering. We have often
spoken of divorce, but both of us
are opposed to it. and deep in my
heart I think I still love her. Do
all girls crave popularity?

Further more 600,O00,OO
pounds of wool are owned by the
British Government and held in
America. The sheepmens' pre-
dicament is being aggravated by
the sale of this British wool to
American manufacturers. Wool
growers have been unable to
learn just what the bureaucrats
intend to d o with the greater
part of this British-owned wool,
but believe it not impossible that
Great Britain will turn over this
wool in payment for lend-Iease

WINGS OVER JAPAN

The eager officers and men of
the American Navy are not
so elated over the Battle Of For.
mosa as are American civilians,
smiling over the headline, Jap
Fleet Runs" The trouble is the
enemy ran altogether too success
fully-he got away. American
seadogs want him to stand and
fight.
But. whatever their disappoinr-
ment at his escape just when
they were beginning to hope they
had at last drawn him into &C.
ton, there are compensations.
The biggest one is that in the
operations of the past week, Ad-
miral Halsey has shown that the
day is in sight when there will
be no chance of the japanese
Fleet running away. For h e
naval air power that has defied
the enemy's land-based planes
over the Ryukyus. Formosa, and
Luzon can defy them also over
Japan itself. If the Japanese
Fleet continues to hide. it will
then be biased out of Sasebo or
any other refuge in is home is
lands.
That is what the latest impress
sive demonstration of American
sea.air power means. Admiral
Mitcher's carrier force had some
help from giant BIOS, which
wrecked airields and plane re.
pair facilities on Formosa. But
the B.29's can also reach Japan
itself. And apparently General
Chennault's Liberators, which
were supposed to have lost their
bases n recent Japanese d.
vances in China, can still strike
the main enemy supply line in
side Formosa. Their share o f
the past weeks bag" was .
cruiser and $4,000 tons of enemy
supply ships.
Admiral Nimitz's report dis
closes how clear-cut is Americas
air superiority. 1t counts more
than 800 Japanese planes d E.
stroyed in a week, against SO
American planes lost. Two small
American ships (destroyers or
light cruisers. perhaps) were hit
by aerial torpedoes. but we're able
to withdraw under their own pow
er, and no large unit was seriously
damaged. This contrasts with the
fantastic tales Tokyo was hand
ing out about 81 American vessels
sunk or damaged"
On the strength of this, Japan
has been celebrating great ma
val victory-and perhaps some
admiral took it seriously enough
to order the fleet out. Such ex-
tremes of prevaricating propa-
ganda tell something about the
desperation of Tokyo. It knows
