marine blockade, so that it is about
as unsafe to ship cotton to England
as to t. continent.
The very heavy exports of cotton
and the advance in the price is attri-
butable in a large degree to England's
secret intention to promulgate this or
der after her mills had been supplied
with cotton. The tendency will be
temporarily depressing on the price
of cotton, but recently large amounts
of cotton have been sold at from 9 to
10 cents, and if We wish to borrow
money on w5at is left the farmers
should absolutely hold it and not per-
nit the price to decline, because the
borrowing power has direct relation to
the market price. We now have 1t al
10 cents, basis of middling, and we
should mold it there, because when
hostilities cease tlere will be an en-
ormous demand from the continent OF
Europe for American cotton, and 1t
will not be a question of price, as they
are obliged to have it at any price.
"All of Europe is now on a paper
basis, and this leads to extraVaganr
and reckless buying. / sometimes
doubt whether gold in the future Will
be the medium of exchange that II
Las been in the past There is not
enough gold in the world to form a
basis of credit even, to say nothing OF

debt created by this war in Europe
1t will make a tremendous change IN
| our methods of doing business, and as
money really represents the products
of the soil, l look for international
credit to rest more and more upon IN
terchangeable products, supplemented
by corporate and individual credit
! There is a very striking illustration in
Russia sending Iaer treasury notes re-
Gently, amounting to about $500, ,G00,-
900. to France, and France discount
ing these notes against the clearing
of the Dardanelles, on the theory that
this would release the enormous
stores of Russian wheat, which would
take care of TIE notes. So that we
see Russia and France using wheat
as a banking basis, just as we are at
tempting in several Of the Southern
States to use our cotton as basis OF
credit"

The Record.
Recently large amounts of cotton
have been sold at from 9 to 10 cents,
and if we wish TO borrow money on
what is left the farmers should abb
solutely hold it and not permit the
price to decline, because tie borrow
ing power has direct relation to the
market price," said John L. McLaurin,
State warehouse commissioner, when
asked Wednesday morning what ef-
feet the action of the British ministry
forbidding the expectation Of cotton
from England would have on the cot
ton market. 1--WE now have it at 10
cents basis of middling," continued
Senator McLaurin, "and we should
hold it there because when nostilities
cease there will be an enormous de-
mand from the continent Of Europe for
American cotton, and it will not be a
question of price, as they are obliged
to have it at any price"
Senator McLaurin is doubtful that
gold will be the medium Of exchange,

Testimony at the Sloane.

DR.. Edwin B. Cragin, of the Sloane
Maternity, said that the twilight sleep
is being used in that institution only
in selected cases.
Notwithstanding that fact, and tne
extra precautions taken, the mortality
among infants born under the treat
ment has been above tie normal, he
added.
"The mortality among the mothers
he said, "has not been more than the
normal average. I am not prepared to
say what per cent. above normal would
represent the infants deaths.
az think it is the general expert
ence that twilight sleep increases the
mortality among the new born.
1--WE nave not entirely stopped the
use of the drug in the second stage,
but 1 think its use in that stage is
attended with some danger and is so
recognized, generally, in tie light OF
experience
The number of twilight sleep cases
at the Sloan Maternity t1as not yet
reached 100, counting the whole Sc
ries since the beginning. At the out
set there was considerable trouble III
getting the consent of prospective
mothers to undergo the treatment.
At the Lying-in hospital, where the
twilight sleep treatment is still being
tested by two of the doctors, the drug
is used only in selected cases, and a
close analysis is being made OF the
results.
An analysis of part of the series
of test cases already has been pub
lis ed in a medical journal. Accord
ing to the data, there has been a
slightly higher mortality under tne
treatment, but it is not considered
very significant.
Don't use the twilight sleep method
Of bringing babies into the world" was
the advice tie visiting Southern sur
geons received at the New York Poly
clinic Medical School and Hospital, on
April %.
1t was given to them by DR.. George
P. Shears, head of the obstetrical de-
partment of the institution, in the
presence of DR.. John &. Wyeth, pres
ident of the faculty.
Tie advice, it was stated, was based
upon the experience at the Polytechnic
with twilight sleep mode of dealing
with childbirth, where it had been
tested for quite a while under various
conditions upon women of different
social and physical status.
Percentage That DE.
One or more infants-it was NOT
stated r:ow many or what per cent. OF
the whole number treated-died under
the treatment, the percentages that so
perished being above the average 70
he expected under the old-fashioned
manner of dealing with childbirth.
But for tie prompt application OF a
pulmotor, it was stated, probably
would nave been more fatalities, but
as it was. artificial respiration was es-
tablished, and the "blue babies" were
brought back to a normal color and
condition.
DR.. Shears said that any doctor who
knows anything of opiates knows tnae
it is bad to give them to a newborn
infant, and yet, in the twilight sleep
treatment, tie opiate is given to the
child, through the mother, even before
its birth.
Under twilight sleep, the visiting
surgeons were told, the newborn child
is likely not to breathe for quite a
little while 80
There was no evidence of injurious
effect upon the mothers; whatever
pain they suffered was forgotten the
drug destroying their recollection at
that point.

THINK SLOMAN WILL

California is Boosting of the clever.
est quarter miller since Ted Meredith
flashed to the front as contender for
Olympic honors more than three years
ago. r.
Frank Sloman is his name, and he is
possibly the one of three runners of
the world today, besides Meredith, who
can better forty-nine seconds consist.
emily. Sloman Is the runner with whom
Meredith must reckon in the national
quarter-mile championships at Newark
New Jersey, next summer. Ted knows
this now, and depend upon Il he will
be Us fit as ever in his life when he
shows up for the national 40 dash.
Sloman was undsfeated until he
bumped into Meredith at the Panama.
Pacific games last August, and the
beating that Ted handed to the feet
"native son" has ranked Sloman ever
since, and so much so that he yearns
for revenge on the Pennsylvania. Slo-
man will, of course, be a member of
the big Pacific coast team that will
come East to compete at Newark, and
it is on this occasion that Sloman hopes
to reverse the decision that Meredith
obtained over him on the Exposition
track at San Francisco.
The danger to Meredith in meeting
Sloman next year lies in the possible
improvement that the Pacific coast lad
will show in the meantime. Though he
made Ted run all the way in, the ma.
tional championship a San Francisco,
Sloman was not quite dangerous
enough to warrant the prediction Of q
possible reversal when they meet again
next summer. The Quaker held the
Westerner safe in both speed and STAN
ina. 1t must be taken into considera-
ton, though, that SlOman is but a lad,
and it is only natural to suppose that
he will be much better next summer,
If this improvement comes, Meredith
will have the task of his career on his
hands to defeat the phenomenal Pacific
coast athlete. AS a matter of fact, Slo,
man has excelled Meredith 3 record.
