~LASsIFICATIoN and treatment of
II cotton as contraband by the anti
~ Teutonic allies will within a GER
tain time, the precise limit of which
10 a matter of opinion and conjecture,
produce a cotton famine in Germany
and Austria, with all the military and
economic evils consequent upon such
a state of affairs. Experts agree that
though the war is more than year
old. and although Germany produces
no cotton. the Teutonic allies have not
felt the pinch of a cotton shortage.
Two important reasons are given in
explanation of this. The first Is that
Germany far-seeing in all things re-
IatfnE to preparedness for war. stored
ND a large quantity of cotton. She also
has been able to supplement this by
heavy purchases through the neutral
countries abutting on her borders. An
English student of the situation has
said that Germany was able to import
as much of the 1914 cotton crop as
usual during the past winter and
spring. and that this will be proved by
official statistics A very large part of
the 500, 900 tons imported has been used
for making explosives. the great Ger
man cotton mills. which normally op-
crate s.so0.000 spindles, having cur
tailed their consumption at frst by
one-half. and more recently by two
thirds.
Assuming that Germany has stored
one-half of the cotton imported during
the year as a reserve supply for max
ing ammunition, it Is computed that
she has something like 100000 bales.
or 250.000 tons, available. Austria, 1t
Is said. has no reserve Of cotton.
The consumption of cotton in the
making of smokeless high-power pow
der can be figured accurately, and the
expenditure of German and Austrian
ammunition can be estimated. The
l2-centimeter howitzer shoots away
one bale Of cotton in two discharges.
An ordinary field gun of abou. four
inch caliber shoots a bale CT cotton in
about 900 rounds. Heavier cannon ex-
pend cotton In proportion.
An authority on this matter has
written:

come, that the widows might have
plenty Of work.
First a canning factory came. The
widows might raise the vegetables and
sell them to the factory. or they might
go to work in the factory at the can
ming. A day nursery was established
at the widows Row to care for the
babies while their mothers were at
work. There Is a kindergarten for the
children old enough, and only widowed
mothers were engaged to look after
them. There must be plenty of love and
affection for the children, Mr.. Page be-
neves. He likes grandmothers, too, and
there are four or five of them at the
colony. They putter around all day,
do the simple mending. and rock the
babies to sleep. just as any grand
mother would do.

banks, stores, restaurants, hotels-all
the accomplishments of a thriving city
and all to provide work for the wild
ows and their children.
A resident physician lives there, and
Mr.. Page employs him part of the day
to make regular rounds to see that the
babies are kept well. Eyes. ears, noses
and throats are carefully looked after.
IT there are any serious operative cases
they are sent to a hospital at Tulsa,
where Mr.. Page maintains several fif-
teen-dollar-a-week rooms for his large
family If they need special medical at
tention.
He is always willing to take a chance
on human nature, and turns listening
ear to any widow who writes of her
needs. His mail is tremendous. but no
widow who wants to come to the Wild
ows' Town is refused. She must pay
her own fare, but Mr.. Page will look
out for her once she is there.
Mr.. Page encourages callers in Wild
ows' Row, provided they can assure
him that they are honest, Industrious
and have serious intentions. He be-
lieves in good homes for mothers, with
good husbands to provide for them,
and already there have been romances
that are none the less touching be-
cause they come late. He does not be-
lieve in rules: he likes to appeal to .
sense Of fair play and Justice.

speeches during the afternoon session.
The anti-prohibitionists can proba-
bly, muster enough votes to sustain the
call for the ayes and hayes, and this
being the case, they can prolong the
extra session Indefinitely, if they see
fit to do so.
The prohibition leaders called atten-
ton during the filibuster yesterday af-
ternoon to the fact that Representative
! Fullbright, of Burke, who has fire.
quently stated On the floor of the
house that he favors prohibition, voted
with the ants in sustaining calls for
the ayes and nays, thereby helping to
prolong the filibuster.
After the adjournment of the after
ltoon session, the prohibition leaders
expressed themselves as being per-
fectly content to let the ants prolong
tie filibuster.
"The responsibility for a long ex-
ira session caused by an anti-prohibi-
ton filibuster will rest upon the OBJ
ponents of prohibition" said Repre-
sentative M. J. Yoemans, of Terrell
one of the prohibition steering cam
mittee in the house. THE prohibition
lists will pass their bills in short order
as soon as they can reach them in reg
ular parliamentary order, and then
| they will pass the general appropria-
ton bill and dispose of all other mat
tiers before the extra session without
losing a moments time. If the oppon-
ents of prohibition prolong the session
by a filibuster, they alone must as
sumo the responsibility"
At the opening of the morning house
session Monday Representative Full
fright proposed to the prohibition lead
ers that the anti-prohibitionists would
agree not to filibuster, provided the
prohibitionists would not set aside the
appropriations bill in order to take IN
the prohibition bills ahead of it. The
house adjourned for the prohibitionists
to caucus and pass upon the proposal
1t soon developed that the pronosal
made by Representative Fullbright
was not supported by the ants. as thew
sent an olive branch committee from
their caucus which agreed not to fill
buster, provided the prohibitionists
would raise the alcohol limit in their
bills from one-half of one Ter cent IN
one per cent, and make the bills eff

Led by Representative R. B. Black

in forcing six aye and nay roll calls.
These roll calls consumed the entire
two hours of the afternoon session,
which had been fixed for this period
with adjournment at o'clock.
The last roll call was on the adop-
