ROYAL DRESS COST
Victoria of Spain Most Costly At
tired of Queens.
Where the Old Clothes Go-Some Dis
carded Garments Are Sold, Some
Returned to Maker and
Others Given Away.

London,-It goes without saying that
the expenditure Of queens on dress is
Of necessity high, and it is higher to-
day by a good deal than it was rs or
so years ago, says writer In London
Answers.
The most extensively attired con
sort OF reigning European monarch
Is generally supposed to be the queen
Of Spain.
Her Spanish majestys dress bills
for gowns alone run to more than Sl5,-
900 year, She purchases most OF her
dresses In Paris and Is more punctll-
Ious about being modishly attired than
any other royalty Her majesty rare
ly wears a gown more than half doz-
en- times, practically never has a
gown altered, and never, at home or
abroad, Is seen two days in succession
in the same gown,
For her morning and afternoon
gowns Queen Victoria pays from $75
to $3.50
She purchases about seventy Of such
gowns in the year. and, taking the av.
erage price at 1925 EACH this would
mean an outlay of $3.50 on morning
and afternoon gowns alone while her
bills for evening gowns would amount
to about $4,000.
The queen Of Spain seldom orders
less than half dozen gowns at a
time, and frequently will order as
many as twenty or thirty Her males
ty, however, has an understanding
with most Of the modstes whom she
patronizes that every gown she does
not care about when 1t Is completed
may be returned
The German empress Is, Of all great
royal ladies', the least modishly attired
Her majesty holds the opinion that in
matters Of dress royal ladIes-ladles

WILSON IS SANGU|NE
EARLY OPENING ALL
WORLDS COTTON PORTS
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. ga
note cf optimism that should cause
great rejoicing at the South and
throughout the nation, is contained in
the prediction made this morning by
President Wilson that all the port of
the world will soon be open to receive
cotton shipments.
The president this morning was es-
pecially optimistic over the apparent
clearing up of the stringent financial
situation which has obtained in the
Southern states since the beginning of
the European conflict, and stated to
the Associated Press that in his opin-
ion, the situation there should rapidly
clear itself, now that arrangements
have been practically completed for
furnishing money with which to fin
ance the cotton crop through the me-
dunn of the banks.
The recent action of Georgia banks
in availing themselves of seven mil
lions of the emergency currency pro-
yided for in the Aldrich-Vreeland act
cannot fail to have beneficial effect
upon the financial situation in that
state, says New York business men
who are here today, and the example
of the Georgia bankers is expected to
be followed rapidly by financial insti
tutions in other states, now that con-
gress has adjourned and hope of re-
lief from federal sources other than
through the issuance of emergency
currency has completely failed.

CONGRESSMAN CRISP AT
HOME AFTER HIS LONG
FIL[IBUSTfR FOR COTTON.

Hon. Charles R. Crisp arrived at
home this morning from Washington,
having left the capital Saturday night
as soon as the congressional session,
long drawn out, finally adjourned. Rep
resentative Crisp is looking very well,
and is congratulated by his many
friends here upon his improved physi-
cal condition. He will remain at his
home in Americus and in the district
until the converting of the Gath Con-
gress in December next,
During the last few days of the ses-
sion just adjourned Representative
Crisp, together with Congressman Hen
ry of Texas. was the leader in an ef-
fort to force congress to take some
action to help the cotton growers of
Dixie. With the able assistance of
the Georgia representative the con-
gresham from the Lone Star State
was able to hold congress together
for several days, considering cotton
relief legislation.
Mr.. Crisp worked with Congressman
Henry both in the caucus and on the
oor of the house for the passage, of
cotton legislation. The following
speech delivered by Mr. Crisp on the
floor of the house for the passage of
Congressional Record:
Mr.. Speaker; In the brief time al
lotted me it will be impossible to make
an argument in support of the bill, as
/ would like to do, or discuss the sit
uation confronting the South. I tried
yesterday and today to get sufficient
time to discuss in detail the cotton
situation, but was unable to do so. The
great crisis that confronts our people
was caused by the European war, and
is not a sectional one, but is national
in scope-yea, international, for the
people of the entire world are inter-
ested in the production of cotton; for
while other sections feed the world,
we largely clothe it. If we can not
get fair price for our product, we
can not purchase from other sections;
therefore the business of the entire
country is involved. Two-thirds of the
cotton raised in the United States is
exported to, Europe, and it alone keeps
the balance of trade in favor of the
United States. 1t more than any Amer
ican product protects the gold pre-
served in your treasury, and today
New York bankers are concerned as to
how they shall protect obligations due
in England and prevent a drain being
made on our gold reserve. Under nor
NAL conditions when cotton is being
exported it settles all balances in trade
and furnishes medium of interna-
tional exchange. Sir George Paish, a
representative of the English govern
ment is in Washington comforting with
our treasury officials and members of
the reserve board to provide. some
measure of settling balances between
this country and England. He frankly
stated that if cotton was moving it
would take care of the difference and
make the trade balance in our favor;
SO you can readily see how important
1t is, for the whole nation to try to
help the South out of its financial dis
tress, and provide a market for cot
ton.
Sir George Paish frankly stated that
