PREDICTS COTTON
WILL BE SCARCE
British Expert Says Supply
Next Ten Years Will Be
Threatened
Blackpool. Eng., Dec. 12.—Pro
fessor John A. Todd, one of the
British delegates to the World Cot
ton Conference at New Orleans, in
October last, told the Textile Insti
tute the other day that the world's
supply of cotton for the next 10
years was seriously threatened. He
saw indications that the scarcity of
cotton would increase as the world
capacity to consume it returned to
normal.
Professor Todd said the first step
to be taken should be to assure the
grower of a reasonable price to cover
the cost of production and to re
ward him adequately for growing
Improved cotton. He pointed out
that the present system of market
ing did not encourage the production
of better cotton and insisted that the
British government might well do a
great deal more than this to extend
the cotton industry. He pleaded for
rigorous economy in consumption.
The American cotton crop, said the
Professor, was the limiting factor in
the world's supply. This crop had
developed an extreme undesirable
see-saw movement of acreage, crops
and prices. There had been five
bad crops in succession with high
prices accentuated by world infla
tion.
Before the war, said the speaker,
a large part of the American grow
ers were on a small margin of pro
fit and when prices did not #ay they
reduced their acreage. This oe
curred during the war and the acre
age then lost had not since been re
covered. American acreage was re
duced in 1919 and, owing to bad
weather, this year's was "a disas
trous failure and a calamity." The

Many cases of rheumatism are

results obtained. Others suffering
from bronchial troubles have found
much relief and are more than
pleased.
Our cases of stomach troubles,
with heart complications, and nerv
ousness, are very grateful for the
treatment received. All our patients
that are under treatment for catarrh
of nose and throat, deafness and
discharging ears are rapidly
gaining their health and are recom
mending us to their friends.
Rapid progress is being made in
all cases of rectal troubles, such as
piles, fissure, fistulas, etc. One
gentleman said, "I am going to send
all cases of rectal diseases I know
of among my friends to you for
treatment.
Each day brings many expres
sions of gratitude from happy,
thankful, patients, who appreciate

FRIDAY EVENING,
result was that prices had been
forced up to a very high level.
Europe and Asia are without
stocks of cotton g*>ods, said the Pro
fessor. The amount of cotton which
the world's mills could spin and
weave is now restricted by destruc
tion of machinery in the devastated
regions of Europe and restriction of
the hours of labor but these con
ditions would not be permanent.
One thing which alarmed him was
the enormous development of the
use of motor cars in America with
a consequent demand for 500,000
bales of staple cotton for fabrics in
tires. This demand existed at a
time when the whole world supply of
staple cotton, he said, had been re
duced to 1,500,000 balesi
Motor Bandits Steal
S9O Worth of Ham and
Eggs From Butcher
Philadelphia, Dec. 12. —Three mo
tor bandits are held to-day on
.charges of stealing S9O worth of ham
and eggs from a butcher's window.
The robbery was carried out with
Success until detectives took up the
trail of the thieves and arrested
three men as they were preparing
a meal of ham and eggs. A fourth,
carrying a suitcase of breakfast, also
was arrested.
An hour after the robbery Patrol
man Reading saw a young negro
with a heavy suitcase. The police
man examined the bag and found
that it was full of eggs and pieces
of ham. The negro was arrested.
After the prisoner had been ques
tioned, Detective Fairstein and sev
eral policemen went to another
street and say three negroes in a
room cooking a meal of ham and
eggs into three shares. One man di
vided the eggs while the other ,two
cooked the meal with flatirOns,
which they heated over gas jets and
then used as griddles.

Kills Himself Seeking
"More Action" in His Story
Freeport, L. I„ Dee. 12.—Stanley
Simon, aged 19, accidentally killed
himself while trying to solve a prob
lem in the use of a revolver which
arose in a short story he was writing,
according to Coroner Wilbur South
ard, who conducted an inquest.
Simon was found dead beneath a
mirror. H. S. Simon, his uncle, tes
tified that a magazine had returned
a short story written by his nephew
with the request for more action in
it. This brought up a question con
cerning the method of using a re
volver. The uncle told .him of a sit
uation described in a magazine, got
his own revolver, unloaded it, allow
ed Simon to handle it. Later he re
loaded It and put it away.
After the body was found, the
magazine was discovered on a table
open at the story mentioned by the
uncle.
It is presumed that the young man,
after his uncle and aunt had left
the house, got the revolver and, not
knowing that the cartridges had
been replaced, pulled the trigger.
Draws Vat of Gasoline
Through Blaze to Safety
Philadelphia. Dec. 12.—Patrolman
Thomas was the hero yesterday of
a fire on the first floor of the
United Tinning Company. The pa
trolman dragged a 40-gallon vat of
gasoline through the flames to a safe
place on the sidewalk, and probably
prevented a serious explosion.
The tinning company has a smel
ter on the main floor which is used
in the process of reclaiming old tin
cans and kettles. Becoming over
heated, the smelter ignited floor
timbers and soon the walls were
ablaze.
Red Peril Is Over,
Taft Tells Yale Club
New York, Dec. 12.—Danger of
holshevism is past in America, Wil
liam Taft declared before the Yale
Civic Club, "because the leaders of

could not turn this country into a
Bolshevik government."
Mr. Taft asserted that the Indus
trial situation was becoming ra
tional and that world conditions
i would shortly be settled through the
| Peace Treaty, which he predicted, I
[would be ratified.
