~ For Universal Standards II
OPP. POST OFFICE

The association, however was un
willing to take definite action until
March 1, 1916. 1t was impossible
under the law for the American gov
eminent to defer until that date the
PRONUNCIATION Of the American stand
ards, and accordingly no agreemen,
or standards with Liverpool was
reached.
On December Is, 1914, the official
cotton standards Of the United
States were established and promul
gated and their use on the future
exchanges became practically com
pulsory on February IS. 1915. They
have been adopted voluntarily by all
OF the leading spot cotton exchanges
of the United States.
The representatives Of the depart
ment also visited Bremen and Havre
and conferred with German and
French cotton merchants in regard
to the adoption OF the American stan
dards by those exchanges. The
Havre exchange has taken no action
but the question is still open with
Bremen, and that exchange has stat
ed its expectation OF adopting the
standards If they prove to be suited
to the conditions of the cotton trade
at Bremen. 1t is believed that these
conferences did much to promote
uniformity. in cotton grades for the
future, but owing to the disturbed
conditions caused by the war, no de-
finite agreements were possible.

being kept close to the reservation
in readiness for any move warranted
by developments. Four companies
of infantry received marching orders
and it is believed they will get un.

is being kept closely in touch with
the conferences in Ell Paso and in
Juarez and is laying his plans ac-
cordingly. A long and what was
said to be an important message
from El Paso was transmitted to
him over the army wireless, but no
mixing Of its contents was given out
here.
From military headquarters came
the statement that there have been
no new developments in the field,
and all operations are at stand
still pending the result of the con
farences
A report that a detachment under
Colonel James b. Erwin had been
engaged by Mexicans was denied.

Efforts to Secure Adoption by Fore.
ian Cotton Exchange Of Official
American Ones.

The establishment under the terms
of the United States cotton-futures
act of official cotton standards FOR
the United States has been acquaint.
ed by an earnest effort to secure
the cotton trade in Europe as we'll as
in this country, A brief history of
this movement il contained In Ser.
vice and Regulatory Announcements
No. Z OF the Office of Markets OF the
department, which has just been pub
lished.
Although the attempt to secure the
adoption abroad of the new American
official standards was not altogether
successful, this new publication
shows that much has been accom-
plished toward bringing about uni
formity of standards. For various
reasons the Liverpool Cotton Assoc
citation did not see fit to adopt the
American official standards, but has
revised its standard to form which
is said to accord at least in value
with the American standards and
which replaces by a single set the
three sets formerly in use, represent
ing, respectively, Upland, Gulf and
Texas cotton.
This triple standard seems to have
grown up in Liverpool between 1888
and 1913. 1t seems also to have
been the result OF process OF evo'
luton caused by the increasing me-
cessities Of the cotton trade and was
built up from time to time by the adj
dition OF types or boxes OF stand
ards.
When the United States cotton
futures act was passed and experts
began the work of preparing the
new standards It required, the desir'
ability of securing universal adop'
ton for the new standards was rec
ognized. For reasons given in de
tail in Service and Regulatory An
nouncements No. Z, however, II
was found undesirable to adopt the
Liverpool standards for Upland cot
ton. In order, therefore to explain
the proposed American standards
and TO urge their adoption In Eng
land, Germany and France. two mem
bers of the department visited Eur
ope in the fall OF 1914.
A number of conferences with rep
resentatives of the Liverpool Cotton
Association we're held and It seemed
at one time probable that this asso
citation would adopt the American
standards, one or two minor changes
having been made at their request

This inroad of the Fire People on the
carrot patch wns the beginning OF the
end, though we did not know 1t. The
hunters of the Fire People began to
appear more frequently as the time
went by. They came In twos and
threes. creeping silently through the
forest, with their flying arrows able to
annihilnte distance and bring down
prey from the top of the loftiest trco

The bow and arrow was like an enor-
nous extension of their leaping and
striking muscles. so that. virtually,
they could leap and kill ut a hundred
feet and more This made them far
more terrible than Saber Tooth him

And then, too, they were very wise.
They had speech that enabled them
more effectively TO reason, and in adj
dition they understood cooperation.
We folk came to be very circumspect
when we were in the forest. We were
more alert and vigilant and timid. No
longer were the trees n protection to
be relied upon. No longer could we
perch on n branch and laugh down at
our carnivorous enemies on the ground.
The Fire People were carnivorous,
with claws and fangs a hundred feet
long, the most terrible Of all the hunt
ing animals that ranged the primeval
world.
One morning. before the folk had dis
persed to the forest, there was n panic
among the water carriers and those
who had gone down to the river to
drink. The whole horde fed to tho

MoToRIsT DELIBERATELY

just such an action early yesterday
A motorist with the entire width of

machine so as to run down and crush
a dog that was near the curbing.
The wheels of the car passed over
the dog, breaking both hind legs.
After accomplishing his work the mo.

secure the number Of his car. The
animal was finally put out of Its mis-
cry by a veterinarian who operates

MISUNDERSTANDING EGGS

The burning of the freshmen cap:
last night proved too much of an
energy-builder to the first-year stu
dents, who after a snake dance up
town and the refusal Of admittance to

months allowances in the purchase OF
a dozen eggs which were hurled at
the showhouse and night policeman
Miller, who guarded the entrance.
The disturbance continued at Ninth
and Cherry streets until $3.50 o'clock
when Prof. L. NJ. DeFoe of the dis
cipline committee appeared. and sent
the freshmen to bed.
After the festivities on the campus

Miller enforced the management's
will. The freshmen, however, were
not so easily satisfied. One first-year
man lodged across the street to the
Virginia Confectionery. purchased two
eggs. and returning heaved them
against the front of the showhouse.
The freshmen then marched away for
more ammunition, and whey they re-
turned Mr.. Miller took refuge behind
one of the massive columns in the
front of the building. One freshman,
braver than the others, slipped around
behind another column and opened an
egg fire upon the officer.

Moral: Freshmen who are having
difficulty in going through the Univer-
sity on $500 year should give up
their egg-throwing habits.
