Scattered Demand and Some Short
Covering Caused Rise in Cotton
July Was Lower but New
Crops Were Higher on
Buying Based on 801 l Wee
vil Complaints and Reports
of Much Better Situation
in Textile Centers
' ’X '
NEW YORK, July 17. —Growing
confidence in the general' business
oUtibOk and prospects for continued
showe/s in the south sent the new
crop months into new high ground
for the movement' in the cotton mar
ket here today. July was relatively
qujet and easy, but later months
closed at very nearly the best prices
of the morning with October quoted
at 34.72. The general market closed
very steady at a net decline of 40
points on . uly, while other months
were 17 to 43 points higher.
The market opened steady at an
advance of 3 to § poipts on reports
of showers in the belt. There was
a good deal of reactionary sentiment
around the ring, based largely on ex
pectations of realizing for over the
week-end after earlier week ad
vances. This eased the market off
right after the • call with October
selling at 34.45 and December at
32.30. The more bullish character of
the news from Lancashire and re
ports of active wholesale goods
.business in the middle west, brought
+ln fresh buying, however, and the
market soon turned firmer on this
demand and renewed covering. Octo
’ber sold up to 34.77 and December to
33.10, making net advances of 27
•tto 32 points and, in the case of
a recovery of 225 points
.from the low level of a.week ago
•"Friday.
*• There was very little trading in
jituly, but there • were rumors that
/there would be additional notices
itrext week, which may have account
'%d for the decline to 41.10 for that
'position, compared with 42.05, the
'high point of yesterday morning.
Manchester reported an improved
Remand with stiffening prices for
and yarns, and one of the,
scabies said that South American;
who had cancelled, orders
.there had cabled to withdraw the l
.cancellations. No improvement was
reported in for
foods at-first hands-and Fall River
, sales for the week were estimated
‘ it only 40.000 pieces.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS. July 17.—Bullish
sentiment increased in the cotton,
market today and prices were
stronger almost from the opening.!
The same influences that lifted val-!
ues on preceding sessions of the i
week were at work, unfavorable re
ports regarding weevil activities in 1
the belt and favorable accounts re-,
garding revival of trade in mill -cen-i
ters, but they appeared to be far.|
from discounted. Heaviest buying
followed the posting of the forecast
of showery weather for the eastern
division of the cotton region as it
was felt that such weather would
increase weevil damage. Probabili
ties of cloudy weather in the west
efp division were also regarded as
unfavorable. Highest prices came
late in the day when the trading
months were 33 to 48 points up and
October was trading at 34.23. Closing
prices -were at net gains of 30 to 45
points.
July was inactive, but this did not
restrict the activity of other months.
For a short period after the opening
the nearer months were rather easy
and they dropped off to levels 2 to 4
points under the close of yesterday,
but almost" immediately recovered
and advanced. March was the strong
est month and rose to 31.43, closing
at 31.40. In the early trading the
rains in the belt were the main in
fluence. The map was wet except
in the extreme western sections of
the cotton region.

State Farmers Warned
Not to Rush Cotton
To Market Too Fast
The Georgia department of agri
culture has noted with interest and
pleasure the recent rapid advances
made in the price of cotton. Never
theless, the department feels it is
only proper to caution and advise
Georgia farmers not to get excited
over the upward turn, and not to
rush tlieir cotton rapidly to market,
■ a cdUirse the eVil effect Os which in
Tofrher seasons, is Only tod’ well
known. . - -.
A short cotfoih crop is inevitable,
declares Commissioner Brown, who
has visited every section of the
Statg and made close observation of
crop ’conditions-. Considering the
present demand and the good prices
at which manufacture®! cottoh* 'goods’
are being sold, the tendency Os raw
‘ eoftoi) must be upward, Mr. Brown
! ’states,.' '
.‘lf .cotton producers are not' in a
; lli)ry ' to sell ,and‘ the law of supply
and demand Is made to operate as
It Should, in the process of putting ■
cotton on the market” said' Mr.
Brown, “there is no doubt in my
mind that record-breaking prices
will prevail.”

Why Women Are More Timid
Than Men, Says Doctor
In normal, well-balanced persons
vnere is a certain relationship be
tween the element of fear and the
element of courage. Fear is an emo
tion existing for the purpose of pro
moting caution, and in primitive
days and in animals tends to self
preservation. Anger, curiosity and
courage are factors which oppose
tears and flight. When knowledge, ex
perience repetition finally limit or
uelirnft the action of these two op
posing instincts and emotions con
scious action is carried out with un
derstanding according to the inherent
reactions. '
“Woman was made with the ele
ment of fear and caution more pro
nounced than in man because woman,
the mother, was not supposed to he
the fighter. Man, primitive man, the
fighter, was endowed more with cour
age.”
These quotations from a report by
. Dr. Samuel Wyllis Bandler, of New
! York, to the Journal of the American
> Medical association preface a discus
s Sion of the differences in the ductless,
- or endocrine, glands in man and
! woman. In normal persons these bal
’ ance each other, but the balance is
’ different in the two sexes and, ac
t cording to Dr. Bandler, it is this dis
, Lferenqe in balance that causes the
i I difference in the instincts and emo
j tions.
3,500,000 ARE
AFFECTED IN U. S.
BY YEAR’S STRIKES
WASHINGTON, July 17.—Approxi
mately 3,500,000 workers were affect
ed by labor controversies, strikes and
lockouts in the United States during
the government’s fiscal year, which
ended June 30, it was estimated un
officially here today on the basis of
reports now being prepared for Di
rector Hugh Keryvin, of the concilia
tion bureau, department of labor.
The reports when completed will
show that the bureau was asked to I
mediate in a total of 800 cases, in
volving- approximately 1,055,000 work
• ers, Mr. Kerwin believes, or about
I half the number involved during the
'l fiscal year ending June 30. 1919.
The estimate for 1920 indicates that
workers lost', roughly, $175,000,000 in
wages, assuming an average wage'of
$5 and a total of ten days lost for
each.
The loss to employers v ould be
about $700,000 000 in value of produc
tion curtailed, if wages Represent one
quarter of the value of the product.
The steel strike alone is estimated to
have cost F he workers approximately
$3,000,000 a day in lost wages. Wage
losses- of the outlaw railroad strikers
are believed to total nearly as much
as those of the steel strikers.

that Thrace shall be joined to Bul
-1 garia instead of to Greece, regard
less of the wishes of the
the Greeks and our allies?
“Broadly, has the nominee taken
over the various and unknown com
mitments of the-present administra
tion’s foreign policy in order to es
tablish harmony between the presi
dent and himself?
“To the 3 questions, the American
people are entitled to an answer. They
will insist on knowing what they are
assuming.
“It is perfectly apparent that
President Wilson’s foreign policy in
volves the need of a great army and
navy, for the administration demand
ed that we build by 1925 a navy equal
to Britain’s; it also demanded cre
ation of a regular army twice as
large as we ever had in peace.
“What did the president want of
these vast armanents, unless to fight
with them? Governor Cox will know
now for he is in complete accord
with the president.
“It is earnestly to be hoped that
Governor Cox will frankly and
promptly answer these questions be
cause the Republican party wants the
country to know it rejects all these
ill-considered commitments and
pledges its administration against
them.”

His speech of acceptance finished,
Senator Harding spent most of today
resting. With Mrs. Harding he at
tended church in the morning, and
I during the greater part of the after
noon he chatted wntn neighbors who

> An evening caller at the Harding
i o? me was Representative Bas Com
1 Slemp, Republican national commit
teeman for Virginia, who said he
| only stopped over here to pay his
i respects on his way west. Mr. Slemp
I issued a statement saying that the
; Democratic convention had been “a
complete surrender of the west to the
Republicans,” and that capture of i
Ohio and the east should now be the
objective of campaign fighting.
In a short talk at the B’nai B’rith
meeting Senator Harding- praised
the part played by Jewish citizens
of Marion during the war and said
he hoped that the whole citizenship
of the country would catch the spirit
of the B’nai B’rith in campaigning
against ignorance and intolerance.
He declared fraternity and helpful
ness must be abiding purposes of
! American citizenship.

feet again?
1 — A. During the war, one-third of
all Belgian factories were destroy

Omission of Plank
In G. 0. P. Platform
Alarms Dry Forces
CHICAGO, July 17.—The law and
order plank adopted by the Repub
lican national convention has been
left out of the platform as issued
from the Republican headquarters
here, Virgil G. Hinshaw, chairman
■ of the prohibition national commit
i tee. said today.
| “Prohibitionists," said Chairman
i Hinshaw, “are thunderstruck by the
failure of the Republican platform
issued by the national committee to
embody the law enforcement plank
adopted along with other planks by
the unanimous vote of the Republi
can national convention.
Clinton N. Howard, representative
of the prohibition national commit
tee, and William Jennings Bryan, sat
in the Republican convention and
heard this plank read in advance of
its adoption, which followed with
out a dissenting vote. It was pub
lished as part of the platform in all
the big papers of the land.
“Yesterday I went to the head
quarters of the Republican national
committee in Chicago, and Captain
Victor Heintz, in charge, admitted
the omission and said he was tak
ing the matter up with the authori
ties in New York in order to ascer
tain the reason for leaving it out.”
The plank referred to by Mr. Hin
shaw was this:
“The equality of all citizens under
the law has always been a policy of
, the Republican party. Without obedi
; ence to law and maintenance of
order, our American institutions
must perish. Our laws must be im
partially enforced and speedy justice
should be secured.”

6. Q.—-What is the origin and sig
nificance of the colored lights in drug
store windows?
6. A. —These lights originated in
English apothecary shops. The
streets were not lighted in the early

gencies, adopted the colored lights as
a distinguishing mark.
7. Q. —Has the ‘Black Death”

- -10. Q,—Where did the name Dixie
come from as applied to the south?
10. A. —The origin of this name is
.obscure. The theory is that a slave
owner named Dixie emigrated to
the -south from New York. His
slaves looked upon their old home
as a sort of paradise and celebrated
it in their songs as “Dixie Land.” In
time the n>*ne was transferred to
their new homes in the south and
became a general term. Another
theory is that the name was derived
! from the Mason and Dixon line.
ASSERTS GEORGIA
NOMINATED COX
BY CLEVER SWITCH
Aldine Chambers, one of the Pal
mer delegates to the San Francisco
convention, has returned to Atlanta
enthusiastic over the nomination of
Governor Cox.
“Georgia nominated Governor Cox,”
said Mr. Chambers, “by swinging to
him at the psychological moment.
“Nearly all of our delegates were
there and nearly all stayed through
the convention.
“In the preliminary proceedings
and before the credentials commit
tee had passed on the action of the
national committee we had a commit
tee call on the contesting delegation
and offer them our services in get
ting them tickets to the convention
and otherwise making their stay
pleasant. After the decision seating
us we asked them to stay. Good
feeling existed between the personnel
of the two crowds.
“Our choice was Palmer and, with
the exception of one complimntary
ballot for McAdoo, we voted for him
until he released us. We then cast
three ballots for McAdoo and then
switched to Cox at the psychological
moment to insure his nomination.
At night they were given, beds in
a long dormitory, one room often ac
commodating as many as fifty guests.
Miss Carson stated that it was one
of her hardest tasks to get the brides
to leave the. windows open, as that
was opposed to their ideas of good
health. She would go into the dor- j
mitory after each was safely “tucked !
in” and see if the windows were open
as she had directed. Each one would

them, go into another room, and then
hear them stealthily closed again.
This performance would happen as
many as four times in one evening,
she stated.

ner in which she characterized some
of the letters she was asked to trans

not read the English or even the poor
French of their lovers.
