fact is decked out in various garbs of disguise for presentation to the man in the street But those in touch with gov ernment affairs and big business are under no delusion on the subject. Just stop for moment and try to imagine how the subject of Chinese affairs for instance appears to the great cotton manufacturer seated in his roomy private office in Manchester. Probably he or someone else similarly situated recently figured out that if the 350.000, 600 inhabit- ants of China were so educated and civil lized that they came to the conclusion that modesty. or convenience or hygiene, or extravaganza called upon them to dress like the inhabitants of western Eu- rope 20,000.00o bales of raw cotton a year would not supply their needs alone The saf. applies in proportion to the 100,000,00o black-skinned inhabitants of Africa. the estimated but unnumbered hordes of India and Russia. Why. the cotton goods business is in it's infancy and the proud owner of a dozen great mills in and about Manchester is a ped dler compared to the cotton magnate of the futurel
 Why is all this of particular interest to America at this moment? Simply be- cause there are many evidences that Great Britain Is making or Is about to make, a determined attempt to control, absolutely and perpetually. the cotton crop of the world by the regulation of prices Various influential cotton men in the north of England. notably Sir Charles Macara. former president of the International Federation of Master Spin ners and Manufacturers association, have had this idea running through their heads for a number of years, but unable to secure the necessary governmental money support, 1t has laid in abeyance until the present. The war has brought into existence certain unprecedented con- ditions and opportunities that are par ticularly favorable to their scheme and out of the great loss the universal strug- gle has brought to the cotton industry in England, these far-seeing, hard-headed manufacturers discern the possibility of extracting lasting advantage

 Here Is the situation put as briefly as possible. Tt has always been a serious worry to the British cotton goods manu- facturer that, although he has controlled the bulk of the manufacturing and mar keting of cotton piece goods he has not been able to control the raw prooucs Cotton weaving is the only great British industry in which the raw material is controlled by an outside nation.

 Finally, however, it was superseded by Samuel Compton's wonderful spinning mule-a combination of Hargreaves 8 jenny and Arkwright's rollers. Comp ton received a grant from Parliament and was placed in easy circumstances The business of inventng was indeed picking up. Arkwright built a factory at Cromford and the manufacture of cotton goods flourished. At this point came Ed mund Cartwright. a clergyman, who in vented the power loom, but he was be- fore his time, and lost money heavily Parliament again showed an unusual ap- preciation and voted him sum of 50OO0, a goodly sum of money in those days. Finally, Robert Kay, the son of the John Kay, who some years before had in vented the fly shuttle. perfected the drop box, making possible the rapid weaving of figured goods. Thus England was well started on the way to her su- premacy.
 Figures On Growth
 How remarkable has been her advance nothing will show better than a few figures. The humble first factory of Arkwright has grown into an industry that commands an invested capital of $500, 900. The 40.000 workers of 1740 have

Cotton Growers association, it was set out that the organization was an ex- pression of ''the prospective fears Of a portion of the trade that some dire calamity must inevitably sooner or later, overtake the cotton manufacturer of Lam cashire, the superstructure of which has so long rested upon the treacherous foundation of restricted slave labor as the main source of supply for its raw material" Many British manufacturers began to feel that independence of the American supply was an absolute neces- sity, and several ambitious projects were tried. Competent teachers of the grow ing and gathering of cotton were sent to parts of the world under British con- trol of ownership. Missionaries were en- listed in the work of encouraging the natives of semi-tropcal countries to plant cotton and were asked to distribute seeds and instructions. Although all this did not result in freeing the British manu- facturer from his dependence upon Amer lea 1t must be borne in mind that the Lancashire magnates have never ceased in their efforts and today more than ever they spend thousands of dollars and countless hours of precious time in pushing cotton growing in every part of the world outside of the sunny south but especially within the confines of the British empire.
 Thus, thanks to British encouragement, there is an ever increasing cotton crop raised within the empire, although the south still has a firm and at present unassailable grip on the bulk of the world production. growing about 65 per cent of the worlds total. Whereas the 1913 crop of the eight cotton growing states of the south amounted in round figures to 100000 bales it Is significant that India produced 4500,000 bales, and Egypt 100000 bales.

NIGHTMARES REAL TERRoRs.
vivid and Disagrceablc Dream of
Terrifying Situation.

A nightmare is a very vivid and
dlSagreeable dream, in which the
sleeper finds himself in various terri
Tying situations from which there is
no escape. When sufferers fright
reaches 4 climax he awakens sud
denly; sometimes he is aroused by
his own efforts to scream for helm
bad form Of nightmare occurs i'm
young children. It is called might
terror. The child awakes suddenly
from deep sleep painting, wide
eyed; screaming but inarticulate. and
cIlngs frantlcally to anyone who goes
10 the bedside Such attacks are
most common in children between 4
and years old, but they may occur
at any age.
When grownup people have night
mare 1t is generally owing to indis-
cretlons In diet, such as mince pie or
lobster eaten late at night. MANY
persons have to be very careful about
what they eat for supper. and can
never safely go to sleep lying flat on
the back.
One characteristic of nightmare is
the startling reality of it. II lacks
the misty vaguenes of pleasant
dreams and has, while Il lasts, all the
sharp outline Of AN actual occurrence.
therefore, IL Is important that young
children should be wisely and gently
handled when they suffer from night
terrors. Do not scold them or laugh
az them or argue with them. They
have suffered n real shock, with con-
sequent loss Of nervous force. Until
the paroNysm has spent itself do
net leave a child who has suffered
in this way alone.
Sometimes. in older children, night
mare accompanies ovcrpressure at
school, and the tendency to it dis
appears i'm the holidays. IN such
cases tighten the pressure Of work
