COTTON PRICES IN
 GERMANY HAVE TREBl4ED

FRANKFORT, ter, AAo h
 fort Zeitung publishes the roilo"lns report of conditions in the German cotton industry:
 :, During the last three months pus- mess in the German cotton industry has been extremely quiet. Mean while the use of cotton and cotton waste has been regulated in such 9 way that these raw materials can hardly be used at all except for army ourposes. Consequently, the existing stocks of yarn having been useo up' and the. transition period having ex- hired the free activity of most Of the mills is checked and the closing Of A number of spinning and weaving mills is to be expected; in some cases' indeed, it has already taken place.
 During the last three months cot inn has been uncommonly dear in Germany. The price of middhng m the open market at Bremen was about double the price which pre- vailed before the intervention or 1taly and about treble the price at the beginning of August, 1914.
 "The situation as regards cotton vaste is similar to the situation as veeards cotton. Germany and Aus tria were always important buyers Of English, American and Indian waste. Since the disappearance of these two buyers it is said that enormous stocks of cotton waste have accumulated in Lancashire and also in Bombay,
 "Employment in the German cot ton spinning mills has fallen off very much in consequence of the official regulations. Yarns are no longer de- tivered except to purchasers who can prove that they will be used for the carrying out of army contracts. ana as such orders are not on very great scale, business is stagnant. Deliver ies are kept within the narrowest limits, and <here have been very few new bargains during the last few months. Business in imitation and fancy yarns is rather more active, as it is also in the mills which produce two-cylinder yarn. because these businesses can use the various kinds of cotton waste the employment or which is permitted by the regulations. A large number, however. of cotton, cotton waste, and also imitation mills have preferred to stop work.
 ..The position of the German cot ton-veaving industry has been un- favorable during the past three months. Production for non-mifitary :reouirments is, with comparatively few exceptions, forbidden. Orders for the military authorities were only or moderate extent in August and Sept ,ember. It was only during October that blanket business became more active. Almost the whole existing stocks of cotton blankets were taken by the military authorities. and new orders were given. There is also a strong demand at present for sand bag materials. Many concerns have devoted themselves to this business and are employing in it most or their spindles. The busiest concerns are those which produce bandages and 'hospial requisites, many of them be- ing supplied with orders until next spring."

We know how the ohild's play shifts from
amless movements to the limitations OF the
activities of his elders from mere manipula-
ton OF objects and materials to the planned
and purposeful making" OF things. When the
child once reaches this stage there should be
constantly before him the materials and tools
that can be used in making" things, and what
ing is very cheap charge against the child's
education in work. The dress that little girl
makes for her doll may not be as fetching as
the one bought in the store, and il may even
cost more in materials and attention from
elders; but it is worth at least two or three

A woman may develop many fine qualities in
the pursuit Of both business and home life, but
when the latter is necessarily secondary, her
home lacks the rcstful. peaceful, harmonious
atmosphere created by the wife who, idcaliz-
ing home making, possesses quiet poise, tender
sympathy and gracious hospitality. The man
OF the house is either rritated and dissatisfied,
finding his most rcstfu hours at the club, or
he assists in work that masculinity was not
born TO accomplish gracefully. Neither man
