WEEKLY REVIEW
 OF COTTON MARKET
Threat of Railroad Strike and Russian Revolution
 Affect Prices

New York March t6.-The cotton trade evidently found several confus- ing features in the developments of the past week. and the market has been nervous and irregular. The up- ward movement continued. with May selling up to 1S10c on Monday. Al this level, however. the market met considerable realizing, and May has since sold at 17.56c. making reac- tion of about 54 points from the best, with that delivery closing at l7.G5e to- night. As prices sagged off selling became more active on the circulation of few additional March notices, re- ports of increasing difficulty in se- curing ocean freight room for cotton shipments and toward the end of the week sentiment was nervous and UT . settled owing to the threat of rail- road strike and the revolution in Russia.
 At times during the week there was talk of southern hedge selling on bulges. Otherwise, however, the sell ing has been chiefly attributed to scattering liquidation, while trade in- terests were credited with buying old crop months on the declines. Liverpool ruled relatively firm, with private cables reporting Egyptian and con- tinental buying of new crop deliveries and houses with Liverpool connections were buyers of October around the local ring.
 Domestic mill consumption for Feb ruary made about the expected show ing and local statisticians figure that domestic mills must take a little over 2,000,000 bales between now and the end of the season.

HAROLD LOCKWOOD
 IN REALISTIC FIGHTS

Realistic fighting in pictures is usually regarded as fixed action" by many fans" but to those in the stu dio, fight stuff is a dreaded piece of 'business.' If some of the skeptical could have spent three hours in the Metro-Yorke studies where Producer Fred J. Balshofer was putting Harold Lockwood and Lester Cuneo through some big scenes, they would have been satisfied beyond a doubt The scenes were taken for "The Promise" in which MT. Lockwood and May Allison are stars
 Lockwood and Cuneo were both in fine shape when the first scene was made, and when the camera stopped turning on their last round both were exhausted. and suffering from cuts and bruises. Every blow had to reg ister and In many cases the action had to be taken at close range, and then at distance. so they fought doubly long.

LITTLE LOST SISTER"
 AT THE STRAND

Little Lost Sister," showing at the Strand has very near an all-star cast. Vivian Reed, George Fawcett, Bessie Fly ton and Eugenie Besserer are all seen in this splendid production.
 The play is the old, old story of the young and dissatisfied working girl in the small town. She hearkens to the voice of the tempter and runs away with him to the Jig city. But, thank heaven, the drectsr was good enough to have the girl marry the "wilyun," and we are spared the narrowing shock of her be- trayal. But Elsie Welcome had lot of very singular experiences before the play is ended.
 Little Lost Sister, is flawlessly pre- scented. It is intended to point a deep moral and succeeds.

ANITA STEWART
 RESTS FOR AWHILE

Anita Stewart was ordered to the country last week by her physician. The dainty Vitagraph star has been at it too steadily to suit either her doctor or her own nervous system. While she was making her last scene in "The More Ex- cellent Way" Miss Stewart broke down; and then she consented to go away and remain away until she had entirely re- covered. When Miss Stewart resumes her screen work she will play opposite Earle Williams in highly dramatic American story written especially for these two Vitagraph players.

 Here's the lawn dope; go to it, right now:
 No one thing in the residential land scape of city is so large a factor in ! producing beautiful effects; no one fea- ture is more generally observed and ap-
 pi eciated than beautiful lawns. No matter how humble or how preten- ticus the home or grounds, the lawn is the foundation and background of the picture; the one essential without which there can be no complete harmony. Nothing is more conspicuous for, or ere ates greater appearance of desolation by it's absence than lawn The condition of lawn about home is sure indication of the character of the owner. The first essential of beau tiful home surroundings is a beautiful lawn, just as the prime essential of a
 beautiful city is beautiful homes. Every citizen who creates or maintains a beautiful lawn is doing good work for himself, is helping to beautify his com
 munity and is creating a source of pleas
 ure for his fellow citizens that is sure to have it's influence in causing others to emulate his example and join in the city beautiful work
 1 Bear in mind. then, that the first step in beautifying home grounds is to make ] good lawn and the next step is to keep 1 it good
 k MAKING A GOOD LAWN | Making a good lawn in Birmingham is not difficult if few facts are kept in
 mind. First, the surface must be loosened
 up, that is, ploughed or narrowed or
 spaded and broken up fine and fertilized 1 to a depth of at least six inches. and | 10 inches is better. The fertilizing Is best 1 done with well routed stable manure, | as the soil in this section needs humus to aid in retaining moisture that will guard
 against the effects of drouth.
