Top. Miss Geneyieve Clark Qeft) and
Miss Lucy Burleson; bottom, Miss
Callie Hoke Smith.

Washington, Sept. 2S. = With Miss
Lucy Burleson, the daughter of the
postmaster general, and Miss Callie
Hoke Smith, the daughter of the sem
ior senator from Georgia, as her chief
/ lieutenants, Miss Genevieve Clark,
daughter of Champ Clark, has launch
ed a movement for a national bargain
day in cotton goods.
Miss Clark's idea, which includes
every town and city in the country,
is based on suggestions of business
men who believe that If the cotton
trade is revived, business generally
will be benefited. 1t is contended
that if a demand for cotton goods is
created. factories now without. orders
will be able to resume work.
In order to popularlze cotton
goods, Miss Clark and her coworkers
intend TO organize a big bazaar in
Washington to- which no woman who
does not wear a cotton gown will be
admitted. They want a week set
apart in October on any one day OF
which each city and town will have
general bargain sale of cotton goods,
All the dry goods stores of city
are to be asked to cut prices on cot
tons on the day selected for the sale
in that city.
This nationwide bargain sale of
cotton goods is really a part of the
"buy-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 are
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 great cost
to themselves whatever they were
doing and have gone into the Red
Cross hopsital and charitable move
ments of their various countries, to
say nothing of carrying on whatever
is done commercially in these war
ring countries while their husbands
and the other masculine members of
their households are at war.

to avert a great financial deadlock
on which depends mainly the prosper
ity of our great south.
"It 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 stringency,
are holding on to what they have.
Thus, should this idea of a great ma
tion-wide bargain sale in cotton ap-
peal to 100000 women, each buy
ing 81 worth of cotton materials on
a certain day would put in circula-
tion S10,000,000 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"
