$l,OOO,OOOF FOR COTTON
Negotiable Participation Certificates to

rectOrs to Pass ON Proposal.
Washin gton Post.

w
Definite plans for the apportionment
of 81 100000 among Washington banks
for the cotton pool, for the benefit of
Southern planters, we're adopted at a
meeting of representatives of every
bank at Washington held at the Will
lard. The pool calls for a total of
$153 100000 from banks all over the
country. The plan for the apportion-
ment of Washington's share was
worked out by a special committee APP
pointed recently for that purpose. In
the draft of the plans the committee
says:
Each subscriber upon the payment
in whole or in part of the amount
pledged, shall reveive negotiable
participation certificate, signed by the
central committee, which committee is
composed of the individual members
of the Federal receive board, and said
certificate shall show on its face the
terms under which it was issued, and
shall bear interest at the rate of pei
centum per annum, payable quarter
ly."
The action just taken will be put be-
fore the board of directors of each
bank in Washington, and it was de-
cided at the meeting that al of the
reports as to whether the banks will
come in" on the pool, should be in the
hands of the committee by next Tues
day.
The committee which drew up the
plans consisted of Robert n. Harper
|, and William J. Father, for the Ma
tional banks; B. F. Saul, for the saw
ings banks, E. ]. Stellwagon and c. W
Warden, for the trust companies. The
apportionment among the several
banks will be announced later.

From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
Payment of more than $3,O0O,O00 by
the banks of this city, as first install
ment for capital of the Federal re-
serve bank of this district, was tang
ible evidence of preparation for the
new system, which will be inaugurated
in fortnight.
With the surplus of the banks in
creased to double the amount held a
year ago, there was naturally an
easier tone in the money market. Bor-
rowers with gilt-edged collateral OBJ
tanned loans on call or on time at G
per cent, and borrowers with such col
lateral obtained accommodations as
low as 1-2 per cent upon promise to
take up the loan whenever requested.
In the markets for products there
was all-round better feeling upon con-
tinued heavy buying for export, and
reports that European governments
were arranged for credits here to facil
itate further purchases. Breadstuffs
advanced smartly, cotton was higher
in the Southern spot" markets and
there was more extended trading here
on the expected early opening of the
cotton exchanges and increasing ex-
ports of the staple, the days ship
ments exceeding $4,000 bales.
The financial and commercial situa-
ton has steadily improved, and indus
trial circles must soon feel the i'm
pulse.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 9-The
navy department has worked out plans
for a new type of submarine. They
will be twice as large as any now
afioat and practically doubly as eff
fective as those of any other navy.
They can go as far and travel as fast
as battleships and cruisers. They are
to be called feet submarine.
Plans and specifications for the first
two submarines were forwarded yes
terday to builders who are eligible.
The strictest secrecy regarding the
design has been enjoined. Bids will
be opened December Is. The cost of
each is estimated at about $1,250,000.
The new submarines will displace
1900 tons, will be 300 feet long and
will have cruising radius of $500
miles at a speed of 81 knots. Their
underwater speed will be 16 knots.
The new MI type submarines now in
use have a speed of II knots on the
surface and submerged.
The feet submarine is called by

"a diving destroyer" but navy officers
insist that neither of these terms
exactly expresses the functions of the
new craft. They insist that those are
best indicated by tbs name fleet sub

The cost of the two vessels is to be
taken out of the naval appropriation
authorized by congress at the last ses-
sion. That appropriation was $780,
900 for eight or more submarines.
England and France are said to be
building similar submarines in secret,
but theirs will not be so large or so
powerful as the American vessels. The
new craft will carry wireless and
rapid fire guns Off defensibe pur-
poses.
She will burn fuel oil instead of
gasoline, and will carry torpedoes
enough to sink battleship fleet. Her
crew, however, will number no more
than those on the present submarines.
Naval experts think the new type
of vessel will supplant the destropers
before long.

LONDON. Nov. 9.-The American

THE LATE DANCES
MiddIe-Aged Persons and Young Girls
Says Expert, Suffer MOst-Dancing
Brings on "FIat Foot aad Affects
the Heart-ClOthes Also Bad for
Health-Paralys May Follow

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-That the tan
60 is dangerous to health and already
has caused the development of sew
eral new diseases is the statement
made by DIR. Louisa Burns, of Chicago,
to Miss M. M. Marshall, who gives the
doctors views in the New York Ev-
ening World. Early in her discussion
of the subject DR.. Burns attacked one
of the favorite arguments of the tango
maniacs-that modern dancing is so
good for middle-aged and old folks,
because it makes them feel young
again"
TT is the middle-aged and the old
for whom violent indulgence in the
tango and kindred steys is particular
ly dangerous" she declared. "The
young people are better able to stand
the strain. But the man or woman
in middle life who hasn't danced or
taken vigorous exercise for fifteen
years and who suddenly takes up this
frantic dancing for hours every week,
perhaps every day, runs the risk of
serious if not permanent injury to
health.
What makes most of the trouble is
the strain upon the bones which form
the pelvis, the bony ring interposed
between the spinal column and the
lower extremities. The movements of
the dance mean a continual wrenching
and twisting Of these bones, as the
body revolves and bends to one side
or the other. Now in the back these
bones are in close proximity to the
lower vertebrae of the spinal column
The abnormal straining and wrench
ing Of the pelvis is easily transferred
to the spinal nerve, and injury to that
may have many unfortunate results.
With women the straining of the
pelvis may put out of position num-
Der of abdominal organs. This par
ticular unhappy result of an excess
of dancing is even more likely to at
feet young girls than older women,
and if there is no let-up in the dance
craze, the next generation will I'M
doujtedly suffer.
Tile clothes in which we dance are
so absurd. The exercise is as violent
as that taken in a gymnasium, yet for
gymnastic work women deliberately
leave off corsets, skirts and high
heeled shoes. At an evening party
they try to dance in tight clothes and
French-heeled slippers, a considerably
more uncomfortable and combining cos
tune than their everyday garb. The
result is that the parts of the body
above and below the tightly compress
ed area are subjected to Earring and
iolting which they would not feel if it
were evenly distributed over the
whole surface"

PEN PRICE WARNING

TEXARKANA, Ark, Nov. 9.-News
was received here today of the burn
ing of cotton gin at Rodessa, La,
after night riders had posted a warn
ing not to sell cotton for less than ID
cents. Such notices have been posted
on number of gins in Miller county
Arkansas, and adjoining counties in
Louisiana.

broken, as in flat-foot. Moreover, in
the twisting of the foot during the
steps of the dance the weight falls I'M
evenly, first on one side and then
on the other. That strains and per-
haps gives a curvature to the sides
of the feet. The tango ankle is an
ankle the nerves of which have been
badly strained by the swift and violent
movements of the lingo.
"The tango foot and ankle are both
exceedingly painful and so the suffer-
ers talk a good deal about them. AS
a matter of fact, they are minor COM
plants compared with some of the
others due to the tango. Sciatica is
a form of neuritis and the latter may
easily afflict the tangoist with his ov-
erworked nerves. A partial paraly-
sis often develops from sciatica, of
such seriousness that the victim must
walk with a cane.
"The new 9ances put severe strain
on the heart of the middle-aged or ell
derby dancer whose arterial walls have
begun to harden. The unaccustom-
ed and strenuous physical movement,
combined with the nervous and emo
tional excitement, increases the blood
pressure pressure to a dangerous de-
gree An overworked heart and apop-
lexy are results to be expected"
DR.. Burns continued that many
cases of broken bones had been re-
ported.
Here, too," she said, "the chief suf-
ferers are those past their first youth.
The bones of these persons are of an
increasing brittleness, break with
comparative ease, and do not knit
together readily. Even where no bones
are broken during the actual dancing,
the strain on the dancer is such that
all the joints and bone connections
are weakened and thus rendered liza
BILE to injury at the slightest accident.
Hours spent in the average dane
ing room have a bad effect on the
lungs and general physical condition
of both young and old. The heat, the
dust, the lack of ventilation, the ex-
element, are severe strain on the
health. The modern dances are re-
sponsible for having subjected an I'M
precedentedly large number of persons
to this strain"
DR.. Burns also believes that the deb
utante SLOUGH, with it's abnormal con-
tortion of the body, is menace to the
health and strength of the young girl.
These are not mere theories" she
ended so5erly. q have seen patients
suffering from all the troubles 1 men
ton, where the trail led directly to
an overindulged passion for dancing,
and doctors tell me that conditions
here are even worse than where live.
AS Greeks used it, rhythmic dancing
outdoors in loose garments was ben
efcial exercise. l can't see that mod
ern dancing has any real hygienic
place. 1t might do no harm if the
dancers would act with moderation.
But apparently they can't"

of Sir George Paish, the British Ex-
pert, Has Brought About Thorough
Understanding - U. S. Balance
Grows Abroad

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-"The interna-
tional financial situation has now
reached such a satisfactory stage that
no further measures will be necessa-
ry' This statement was made last
night by Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo. The secretary has had
number of informal conferences dur
ing his stay in New York with the
leading metropolitan and international
bankers, during which the state of
Americas foreign credit relations has
been carefully analysed.
1.-THE heavy movement of American
goods to Europe" continued Mr.. Nc
Adoo, (which has established during
the month, balance of trade in favor
of this country of more than $33,000,-
900, and which undoubtedly will grow
in volume now that a solution has
been found for the cotton situation, is
reducing rapidly the sum of the coun-
try's foreign obligations to Europe
Zone of the most helpful features of
the situation has been the declaration
by the British government of defin-
lite policy as to the shipments of cot
ton, which means in effect that cotton
will not be regarded as contraband of
war, and may be shipped in neutral
bottoms even to the seaports of Ger
many.
"The Importance of this declaration
is lessened only to the extent that
neutral bottoms are unavailable. I'm
fortunately, under existing conditions,
there are not in the ports of the
United States verw imposing number
of ships eligible to immunity from
seizure under the guarantee.
Moreover, in order for the United
States government to insure the cot
ton, it must be shipped in vessels fly
ing the American flag.
Under these circumstances it is to
be regretted that Congress could not
find the time to pass the law which
would have enabled the government to
purchase a lrge number of ships
However, with the final launching of
the cotton plan, the price of cotton
undoubtedly will be stabilized to such
an extent that foreign spinners will
feel secure in purchasing around pres
ent levels.
Better Business Conditions.
"The conference which Sir George
Paish and Mr.. Blackett have attended
at Washington have been productive
of an excellent understanding between
British and American financiers, and
therefore naturally feel gratified that
these gentlmen came to this country
on my invitation.
Business is beginning to feel the
impulse of the resolute spirit engend-
cred by the financial developments of
the last fortnight. The country real
ICES it has been blessed by an abund-
ant harvest this season and that it will
be able to market it under unprece-
dentedly favorable conditions"
