War Furnishes New Argument.

That the war has furnished Wash
ington with new arguments to use in
it's campaign is shown by the follow
ing part of committees report:
with victory and righteous peace
Gill soon come the end of the war
and the day of our national repre-
sentation campaign in Congress.
Speed this day!
when our District soldier and
sailor boys return from battling to
substitute representative government
for autocracy in all the world, surely
they will not continue to be shamed
by the nation by segregation as the
only Americans in all the continental
United States who are denied the
American right Of representation in
their national government, and who,
alone among these Americans, are gov
erned automatically by a government
not of their choice, to which they have
not consented.
what they have risked their lives
to secure for others abroad will not
be denied to them at home"
The report states that during the
past year the citizens joint commit
tee has strengthened steadily it's or
ganization. has done much prepared
ness work for the campaign in col
lecting and digesting pertinent facts
and has distributed through effective
publicity pointed and convincing
statements of the Districts case in

IMPORTANT COTTON CROP

1T is an old saying in the south that
Cotton is King" and the course
of events indicates that cotton has
taken a new and stronger grip on its
crown. The cultivation Of cotton is
extending and the uses to which it Is
being put are increasing. not only be-
cause of the great demand that is
made upon the worlds supply OF
wool, but because cotton is being
used in place of wool in ways that
were not contemplated before the
war.
Cotton blankets are being woven for
troops and for use in hospitals and In
barracks are said to be just as satis-
factory as all-wool blankets. After
scientific inquiry into the matter 1t
has been reported that cotton
blanket. weight for weight. is as
warm as a woolen blanket. This fact
goes contrary to pelief that the
people Of the world have held, but 1t
is said that the scientists discovered
that the reason q cotton blanket was
not as warm as a wool blanket was
that 1t was not woven properly. Varl-
Gus tests were made at the govern
m6nI OuIcdu VI StdhudIoo anu ehC
suit Is that eminently satisfactory
blankets are made of wool
The scientists have not yet found
way to make a cotton blanket as good
as a wool blanket for rough and
ready field use. because when a cotton
blanket gets soaked with rain and
mud it mats" while 1t Is well known
that a wool blanket does not. A wool
blanket was warmer than a cotton
blanket Of equal weight because In
the wool blanket were little spaces
which were full of air and these
little chambers held the heat of the
body and thus became charged with
warm air. At the same time. the
colder air on the outside did not get
in. This was q question of the CON
ductivity of heat" by wool. 1t was
determined that wool itself was no
poorer conductor of heat than cotton.
but that when wool was woven 1t
"felted" or SO arranged itself as to
make innumerable little air pockets
or air cells. while the cotton in being
woven did not develop these insulat-
ing cells. 1t was then determined to
weave cotton so that 1t would give
the same returns in "insularity" as
wool, and 1t has been reported that
this end has been achieved.
Trade reports show that more cot
ton has been planted in the southern
states this year than has been planted
in any year since 1911. and that the

year 1914. in which season a record
crop was raised. With favorable
season the production of cotton will
be extraordinarily large. The need OF
the world for cotton already is great,
and cotton experts believe that the
demand for this fiber win be enor-
nous when peace returns. They say
that no other textile fiber can COM
pete with cotton. because it costs SO
little to prepare for spinning, that it
can be made into garments cheaper
than any other fiber. and the whole
world will need new clothing when the
war is ended, and that, above all. the
world will demand cheap clothing.
At present the American supply is
large. Because of lack of shipping
and other trade arrangements the
amount of American cotton that has
gone abroad is less than usual, and
the result is that about four million
bales from the last crop probably will
remain on hand when the new crop
comes into being.
