GOVERNMENT ESTIMATE SHAKES COTTON MARKET The Annual Roll Call of the Ameri can Red Cross, announced for Novem ber llth to 24th, will find more than 3,000 chapter: 5 Peking memberships for support of regular and emergency activities through 1933. The National Red Cross activities for the past year may be summed up as follows: • The Red Cross made wide distribu tion of wheat, flour, clothing, medi cine and other supplies to prevent suffering in this period of unemploy ment and general economic depres sion. More than 2,200 chapters par ticipated in relief programs. Constructive measures for combat ting hardship 5 rji drought areas re- sulted^in the distribution of garden seed to 605,000 farmers in 1931, and 315,000 additional packets of garden seed were dutiibuted in the spring-of 1932. Work for war veterans and their families multiplied. Nursing and health activities were broadened and intea 5 ified to meet the sudden emergencie 5 and to cope with incipient disease threatened by mal nutrition. * First aid and life saving continued as the national evangels of safety on land, water and highw-ays. The Junior Red Cross wag stimu lated to increased achievements in New York, Oct. 8.—The cotton mar ket ^broke sharply today on the gov ernment’s October 1 crop estimate of 11,425,000 bales, which was from 25(),- 000 to 300,000 bale 5 larger than ex pected by the trade. The figures were greeted with heavy selling which forced contracts down ,nearly ^ cent a pound to the lowest ievels since the market reached its summer peak in August. The mixture of liquidation and pro fessional pressure thrown into the market when the government figures Were released at 11 o’clock encounter ed rather po<fr resistance, due to.the trade’s previous belief that the esti mate would be considerably below the September 1 figure of 11,310,000 bales. October conti acts dropped precipi- tou-dy from 6.90 cents a pound to 6.50 cents, December from 6.97 to 6.62, March from 7.08 to 6.66 and July from 7.30 to 6.85. Closing prices were only a shade above the lows. Net losse. 5 ranged from $2.15 to $2.35 a bale. The maiket's performance was not unlike that following the September 1 estimate which al-o was well above general expectations. An endless number of private estimates since Augu.-t harped on crop deterioration and placed the indicated yield at any where from 11,000,000 bales maximum to 10,700,000 minimum* At today’s low levels cotton is shown to have fallen back very shaip- ly—approximately 3 cents a pound— from the high level. 5 of July-August, which were the expression of a very widespread belief in the trade that this season’s irop was destined to run considerably shoit of the outturn which the government crop authorities now con-ider probable. Period of Pueblo Home Revealed by Tree Rings An ancient tragedy resulted in the discovery by a Smithsonian Institu tion expedition of what is probably (be oldest known inhabited site north of Mexico which can be positively dated, says the Pathfinder Magazine. More than 1,(KM) years ago an early American’s family fled from Its burn ing home and lost everything. The fire which destroyed the home for the family preserved it for posterity. Dr. .Frank IT. H. Rnl»erts. Jr., institution archeologist, found the charred re mains (fr the home while excavating an ancient site on a low mesa over looking the Puerco river valley In eastern Arizona. The flames caused the roof to cave in. pinning down all (he household equipment, IncUidlng clay pots and corn grThdlng’^utonsils, Just ns the family h^nd left them. Some of the timbers, the archeologist reported, \vere charred but not de stroyed and Unis preserved from rot ting. The ancient tree rings on these timbers are still clear. By checking them with the Douglass tree-ring cal endar the building was dated exact ly at 7!H) A. D. This old structure was of the pit house type and dates from the Pueblo 1 period. Looks Bod, S molls Bod An Algerian centipede,- recently received at the London zoo, is a hor rid-looking creature, nearly 6 inches in length, with a narrow, worm-like body divided into about 10 or 12 rings, or portions, to each of which Is attached a pair of legs of bright or ange-yellow. It has two small black horns on its head. Not only has the centipede more than 20 legs, each one of which. Ieavp_s a j^olsonous trail behind it as it passes over human skin, but it is also armed with fangs Just as sharp as those of the scor pion. If it is attacked this hateful creature puts out an evil-smelling fluid as a protection. In the tropics centipedes grow much bigger, and are as dangerous as' certain poison ous snakes. Screech Owl’. “Spell’* In neglected orchards, and often close to the cities, you will find the screech owl. It rarely stirs abroad be fore dark, being a nocturnal bird, whose silent ghostly flight may account somewhat for the superstitions that surround it. In Louisiana, folks call it the shivering owl, and in Mississip pi. the superstitious among the darkies turn their pockets inside out to avert its evil spell when they hear its qua vering voice. In South Carolina a piece of iron is tossed into the tire to effect the same release from the “spell'’ loraos trade mark red.

If there is the least slip in the making we have no use for the result, hut If done to the proper turn we excuse the lack of substance because of the smooth, delectable fluf- flness.—Indianapolis News. “Amerind” In general use the term American Indian was frequently abbreviated to Indian and this lead to confusion with the Indian who is inhabitant of the East Indies. So to designate the American Indian the bureau of Amer ican ethnology authorized the word Amerind or Amerindian which is a combination of the two words Amer ican and Indian.
