Top. Miss Genevieve Clark (left) and
Miss Lucy Burleson; bottom, Miss
Callie Hoke Smith.

Washington. - Especially - With
Miss Lucy Burleson, the daughter of
the postmaster general, and Miss
Callie lloke Smith, the daughter of
the senior senator from Georgia, as
her chief lieutcnants, Miss Genevieve
Clark, daughter of Champ Clark, has
launched movement for national
bargain day in cotton goods.
Miss Clark's idea, which includes
every town and city in the country,
is based on suggestions of busine =
men who believe that if the cotton
trade is revived, business generally
will be benefited. 1t is contended
that if demand for cotton goods is
created, factories now without orders
will be able to resume work.
In order to popularize cotton
goods, Miss Clark and her co-work
ers intend to organize big bazaar in
Washington to which no woman who
does not wear a cotton gown will be
admitted. They want week set
apart in October on any one day of
which each city and town will have a
general bargain sale of cotton goods.
All the dry goods stores of a city
are to be asked to cut prices on cot
tons on the day selected for the sale
in that city. T..
This nationwide bargain sale Of
cotton goods is really part OF the
buy y-a-bale-cotton" movement, that
is approved by President Wilson,
members of his cabinet and business
men. In spite of abnormally low
price of raw cotton, the mills arc
working on part time only. They
cannot sell cotton goods because the
retail stores are loaded up, the war
having curtailed consumption.
In this European crisis" saId
Miss Clark, women of all nationali-
ties have given up. at a great cost to
themselves whatever they were dong
and have gone into the Red Cross
hospital and charitable movements OF
their various countries, to say moth
ing of carrying on whatever is done
commercially in these warning ceoun-
tries while their husbands and the
other masculine members OF their
households are at war.
1T seems to me that if Pavlowa,
the great Russian dancer, Adelina
Patti, the great singer, and various
other women of international reoute
can return to their homes and take
up these dangerous and arduous
tasks in the cause OF their country
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1914-10-08

it is as little as American women can
do to wear for one season cotton
clothes made in America in order
to avert great financial deadlock
on which depends mainly the pros
perity of our great South.
1T has been said that no person
can live so that his life only affects
himself, and so while this problem is
essentially the problem of the South
1t affects the Northern section of our
country by eliminating $4OO,OOO,OOO
spent annually by South ern cotton
growers in the North
1T has been said by the business
men OF the country, who understand
the financial situation, that there is
no real lack of money in this coun-
try, that the trouble lies in the fact
that people, anticipating a stringency,
are holding on to what they have.
Thus, should this idea of a great ma
tion-widc bargain sale in cotton ap-
peal to 100000 women, each buy
ing ST. worth of cotton materials on
a certain day would put in circula-
ton SlOOO0,OO0 of the boarded gold,
as most boarded money is in gold,
and to that extent alleviate the strin-
gency.
The cotton factories of the coun-
try are at this time putting out only
about one-half of the materials that
they are equipped to turn out. The
reason for this is that the merchants
will not buy any more cotton ma
terials until they have sold what
they have on hand.
All the women of Europe, to meet
the crisis which they have had to
face, have gone in training for hos
pital and commercial service. If the
women of America by using more
cotton can avert this crisis it is GER
tainly their patriotic duty to do So"

SUNLIGHT FUEL STOVE

Through a Storage Arrangement FAM
lily Is Able to Use 1t on Cloudy
Days.
Sunlight is the only fuel Of cook
stove that has been perfected by the
Rev. NJ. De la Cara, Methodist mis-
sionary with headquarters at Maria,
Texas. He says that inventing Is
merely a sideline with him, but for
a number of months his sun stove"
has cooked all the food for the Cara
family, so there is no doubt about its
success.
Heat is taken from sunlight by
means of large lenses and concentrated
in the stove. A temperature sufficient
to bake biscuit readily Is easily at
tanned. DR.. Cara says that he has
installed a storage arrangement which
makes the stove as effective on cloudy
as on sunshiny days.
The missionary started working on
the stove while he was in' Mexico and
perfected 1t after coming to Texas,
where he has taken out patents.

Congressman Proposes Plan to
Make Nations DefenseS Perfect

Il am not one of those given to
militarism," said Mr.. O'Hair in dis
cussing his resolution, but | believe
in making the American army the
most efficient fighting unit OF its size
in the world. This can be accomp-
lished better by an investigation. OF
the needs of our national defense than
any other way know Of.
Il believe in distributing the stand :
ing army so that it can be mobilized
quickly | also believe in, the crea-
ton of a strong reserve to back 1t
up.
"Our coast defenses are weak: our
navy is not large enough to protect
both the Atlantic and Pacihc coasts;
our army is so distributed now that
its efficiency is impaired to great
extent. The time has come when
army posts must not be regarded
longer as things for the district OF
some congressman or as pork tor
some senator. Posts that can be
used should be put in the best condi-
ton. Those which are not available
for efficient military purposes should
be abandoned.
Il believe that congress can solve
the problem of national defense only
through a thorough investigation OF
the subject. AS yet congress has not
satisfied itself at all. One admins
tration will favor large navy and a
large army. One congress in. that
administration may provide for it and
the next may object to it.
"The investigation proposed by. my
resolution should develop facts which
congress can use, which the navv car
use, and which the army can use, tc
the advantage of all concerned"

Big Hats lnjurInc Women.

The big hats women have been wear
ing tend to make them round-shoulder-
ed. Whether that condition is due to
the weight of the hat or the difficult
ties women have in handling such
headgear in bargain rushes, physi-
clans do not say. They insist, how
ever, big hats entail too great a
strain on women, and they have for
hidden many OF their patients to wear
them.

AERIAL NAVIGATION VS.. LAW.
Some Interesting Questions Now Bob
Up for Consideration.

Some Interesting Questions Now Bob
Up for Consideration.
Now that the conquest of the air
has been practically accomplished, at
tention is being directed to the regu-
'lation of aerial navigation from the
standpoint of the criminal and civil
law.
The opportunity that the airship
will afford the lawless to commit
crime and escape capture has been
considered, but no satisfactory solu-
tion of the problem has yet been sug-
gested. Police airships will, of course,
have to be pressed into service, but
how far they will prove effective in
the apprehension of the airship bur-
glar or the flying murderer may be
open to question.
On the civil side of the law more
serious questions will undoubtedly
arise.
One of the oldest maxims of the
law is the owner of land owns it
down to the center of the earth
and up to the Skies" and he has an
absolute right to resist any encroach-
ment whether the trespass be COM
mitted on the surface, under the sur
face, or up in the air"
The consequence will be that un-
less the airship owner, who for some
reason or other has incurred the en-
nifty of his neighbors, is willing to
pay damages for trespass every time
he takes fight, he will find that
his aerial activity will have to be
confined to his own back yard.
While the damages would be only
nominal, the landowner might make
1t very unpleasant for the habitual
trespasser. The power of the in
junction might very we'll be invoked
in such cases, for one of the most
common grounds on which injunctions
are granted is to save a multiplicity
of lawsuits.
