The car interrupted and the talking
man made for it. If the listening man
had meant to ride he changed his mind
and stood on the curb long enough to
write something on a card.
Ihen he took a yellow-backed bill
from his pocket. wrapped the bill and
the card in piece of paper he tore
from a letter, called a newsboy. gave

Two small girls We're playing jackstones

That was all there was to it except
that over in a museum at Naples there
is a marble slab dug up from Hercu-

Africa as a Cotton Field.

France might easily declare her indie
pendence in the cotton-growing industry
and cease the yearly tribute" of $50, o,coo,-
go for imported cotton, chiefly from the
United States, according to Laurent
Bonnevay, who led a recent debate on the
Moroccan budget In the chamber of dep
uties.
He declared that if France developed
the cotton lands of northwest Africa il
could produce all the cotton needed FOR
French requirements, and export to other
manufacturing countries.
NJ. Bonnevay gave the results of an in
quiry made by NJ. Lamba, an agricul-
tural expert, who studied the cotton-grow
ing possibilities of Tunis. Algeria aud
Morocco. NJ. Lamha found that cotton
of an inferior quality was already grown
in some sections of these countries, and
he was convinced that cotton culture
could be made as remunerative there as
In Egypt. which now grows l, 5000 bales.
NJ Bonnevay said the French consular
agent at E1-Ksa had imported Egyptian
cotton plants and obtained excellent re-
suits. Several French officers interested
in the agricultural development of Moroc-
co had also experimented with cotton cul-
ture at outlying French coasts with great
success. NJ. Bonnevay had no doubt that
cotton would become the most valuable
export of Morocco.

Screen the Vegetables.


The house of delegates last night took
pronounced step backward III passing
over the mayors veto the bill which
provides against the screening of fruits
and vegetables in the wholesale mar
kets. II fruits and vegetables, in the
warm months, are not to be screened at
the source, in the wholesale places why,
in the name of goodness, should the re-
tail grocers be compelled to screen them !?
II the fruits and vegetables are in
fected in the unscreened wholesale quar-
ter screening in the small grocery stores
and markets will be of no value. We
understand that the wholesalers plead in
convenience. or something of that sort
Perhaps. 1t is also inconvenient to have
cholera, morbus, typhoid fever. ague and
other things that come from infected
fruits and vegetables. We hope that DIR.
Fletcher will rise in his might in the
council next week and refuse to concur
in the action of the house. If vegetables
are to be screened, let the screening be-
gin where it should-in the wholesale
quarter, where, for hours, the fruits and
vegetables lie in the morning sun.

See Need of Athletics.

Some of the most prominent men in
France have come to the support of an
athletic renaissance. \ national league
to aid in the development of physical
education has just been founded with
the patronage of such men as Baron
Pierre de Coubertin president of the
international olympic committee, Heb
rard de Nilleneuve. counselor of state
and president of the academy of sports,
and Maurice Donnay of the French
Academy.
At the head of the committee. which
will direct the movement, is the Marquis
de Polignac.
A propaganda in favor of physical edu-
cation will be carried out in several ways.
Lectures and practical demonstrations
will be given. The cinematograph will
be utilized to show the various stages of
development of athletics by leaders in this
branch of sports. The league will give its
aid to such organizations as wish to be-
come allied with 1t. and will do everything
possible to put the country in leading
position in athletics.

PARIS. March oe. 1914.

Paris is being stirred by four new
movements. Rats, immoral clothes, freak
art and undeveloped physique are all to
be combated by organized forces.
While the League of Patriotic French
Women has taken up the gage against
indecent clothes. a reaction has also
come to the great vogue of cubism.
post-impressionism, futurism and other
advanced esthetic art schools. \ group
of artists who hold -aeademical
principles has been formed. They de-
clare they have felt neglected, and they
have decided at last to make themselves
heard. \ new salon is to be formed for
even the present official salons show
tendencies toward the new heterodox
schools.
Some prominent artists are behind the
movement, which is likely to constitute
a strong revolt against revolutionary
art. The majority of critics. while by no
means accepting all the claims of the
cubists and futurists, freely admit that
they have let air and light into the dry
places of art, and that their exhibitions
from which they are excluded seem dull
and tame. In spite of their extrava-
gances, they have succeeded in being
accepted as serious pioneers. The atti-
tude of the general public is interroga-
tory. if not respectful; there is little
tendency to condemn off-hand, and that
is a clear gain to the innovatorS
