Ambidextral Society Formed in
London to Urge Proper Train
ing Of Children.
NEGLECTED LEFT HANDS

LONDON, April 23.-Being endowed by a
merciful Providence with two hands, why
should we deliberately minimize that boon?
This is the question which the Ambidextral
Society has set itself to urge upon our no.
tice.
The propaganda of the Ambidextral So
ciety is directed toward making the left
hand not merely an efficient understudy for
the right-as when Athos, wounded in the
right shoulder fell on guard with his left
hand-but an equally efficient instrument in
all the business of life. In few occupations.
such as weaving or piano playing, ambidex-
terity is laboriously acquired. 1t ought to
come by nature. for our poor relation, and
probably arboreal ancestor, the monkey, is
ambidextrous.
Both the papers read-in the unfortunate
absence of their authors-dealt with am
bidexterity in popular branch of sport.
Captain Hart-Davis and Mr.. r. b. Marston,
both high authorities by the river bank.
alike urged the Importance of being able to
cast fly with either hand. 1t is not merely
that one hand gets tired; there are many
positions in which the dry fly angler can
hardly drop his fly under the nose of his
prey unless he is able to cast with his left
hand.
AT first the ordinary man finds ii impos-
sible to his poor neglected left hand.
but its sinews and muscles are just as good
as those of the right, and IL is surprising
how soon assiduous practice will overcome
the difficulty.
Which things are parable The moral
Is that we should all insist that our chill
dren should be brought up to both
hands with equal readiness and facility.
Hours of WEAKNESS. countless moments of
perplexity or failure. will thus be spared to
them.
The Ambidextral Society deserves all en-
couragement in its useful crusade. Let US
applaud 1t with both hands.

INTERNATIONAL MERGER
OF SAILING VESSELS
British. French, German and Dutch
Bottoms in a Combination to
Fix Freight Rates.
FRENCH BOUNTY SYSTEM

LONDON, April 23-It is stated by a
shipping correspondent of the Westminster
Gazette that the long-talked-of agreement
between the sailing ship-owners of Great
Britain, France, Germany and Holland has
been completed, whereby the rates for
freights will be fixed and other business
settled.
Many meetings have been held in the
countries named to settle the terms of the
Sailing Ship Union. The chief obstacle has
been how to accommodate the French
shipping to any union of sailing ship-own-
ers of other countries who do not enjoy a
sailing bounty. The French sailing ship
bounty is a substantial one. and. in the
words of an expert. "a ship which is really
constructed for the purpose can float about
the world practically without any cargo
at ALL and then have a margin of profit "
The bounty system has, indeed called
into being a new species of French people,
described by a former minister of marine
as bounty pickers.
British tonnage represented in the union
is believed to amount to over 10000. The
committee will be given the power of fixing
the minimum freights for vessels of vari-
Gus sizes, of obtaining from members the
conditions and freights of any charter
and OF imposing fines for breaches of the
regulations.

LONDON, April 23-At Bow-street Po-

DECREASE IN USE OF
AMERICAN COTTON
Manchester Worked Up 3oS,ooo
Bales Less to April I Than in
Three Months Last Year.

LONDON. April 22.-In the first three
months of this year the Lancashire cotton
trade imported $4,000 bales of American
cotton. as against $780, last year. This
fulhIls the expectation of Mr.. c. w. NIAGARA,
the president of the Master Cotton Spin
ners Federation, who calculated that short
work time in the mills would reduce the
consumption 10y about one-third, and so pre-
vent the price of the raw material getting
unreasonably high.
Expert opinion in Manchester is that If
continent would limit their output as Lam
cashire does. when emergencies arise, the
careers of ''cornerers'' of cotton would soon
be stopped. An international conference
with view TO securing international &C
ton is being arranged.
