by Miss Nora Houston. There is
scarcely n craft IN which the Flem-

largest proportions OF any craft In Bel
GUM, and the Flemish tapestries were
conceded to be the most beautiful OF
their day. The wonderful Flemish tap
cstrics which we studied last week in
the Valentine Museum are flne EXAMPLES
Of the skili o: those craftsmen. The
formation OF tho crafts guilds marked
the separation OF craftsmen from ner-

PROHIBITION BILL
 PASSED BY SENATE
Provides for Dry Nation From July l, Next, Until End of the War-PrObably Will Be Sent to Conference.

Washington, Sept. 6.-The S12,000,- 900 emergency agricultural appro- priation bill, with it's rider for na- tional prohibition from next July 1 until after the American armies are demobilized after the end of the war, was passed tonight by the Senate without roll call Before final pass age, the Senate voted 45 to 6, to re- tain the prohibition rider. A final effort to postpone the effective date of the "dry" legislation to December 30, 1919, was defeated.
 The bill now goes to the House. and because of the many amendments inserted by the Senate, it undoubted ly will be sent to conference. Proh bition leaders, however, expect the House to agree to the "dry" rider Senators voting against retaining the dry" legislation in the bill were Brandegee of Connecticut; Gerry of Rhode Island: Phelan of California; Pomerene of Ohio; Ransdell of Louis jana, and Underwood of Alabama, while many members absent and pair ed favored the amendment.
 As returned to the House, the pro- hibition clause-compromise effected last week by Senate wet" and 'dry" leaders-would stop the sale of all intoxicating beverages next June 30, except for export, medicinal, sac ramental. and other than beverage purposes. and would prohibit the man ufacture after next May l.
 After passage of the bill the Sen ate conferees-all regarded friendly to the legislation-were appointed' Gore of Oklahoma, Smith of South Carolina. Smith of Georgia, Kenyon of Iowa. and France of Maryland. Prohibition advocates believe the bill soon will go to the president, who par ticipated in conferences eliminating in the Senate compromise for eXten- sion of the effective date. The war revenue bill and House plans for recess. immediately after it's passage, until about October 1, however, were admitted obstacles.

NO OCCASION FOR ALARM

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 6.-There is no occasion for alarm over the agitation to fix cotton prices, according to a telegram received here tonight by William J. Harris from President Will son. The message was in reply to one Mir. Harris had sent earlier in the day calling the presidents attention to the apprehension of many persons over the situation and protesting in the interest of the farmers to such a movement.
 The presidents message follows:
 No cause for concern about the price of cotton. The plan is merely for an impartial inquiry to ascer- tain whether agreements would be serviceable in stabilizing transac- tions."

MAKING OF BEER ID
 STOP AFTER DEC. 1
v.r War Measure is Announced NC" h, tbe Food Administration ch;ect nj is to Conserve Feed Stuffs and Transportation.

w.,biroton, Sept. 6.-Manufacture ;. boer in the United States will be ~ ,;h;+od after next December 1, as war measure.
 This announcement was made to- .;obt by the Food Administration, ,5icb said the decision had been ...bed at conferences between Pres ;lart Wilson and representatives of .ho fnel food. railroad administra- ion and the War Industries board.
 Factors which influenced the deci- sion were the further necessity of ..or industries for the whole fuel pro- 3uctive capacity of the country, the considerable drouth which has mater ally affected the supply of feeding stpf for next year, the strain upon transportation to handle necessary in- lustries and the shortage of labor"
 Warning also was issued to manu-
 
 lecturers of all beverages and mineral waters that there will be further great curtailment in fuel for the man ufacture of glass containers etc.
 Action. it was said. had been eX- oected by the brewing interests in view of the Fuel Administrations or der of last July 3, reducing coal con sumption of breweries, 50 per cent.
 Under national prohibition legisla- ton passed by the Senate today and sent to the House. which enacted sim liar legislation last May. manufac- lure of beer and wine would be pro- lbited after next May 1. T oday's order will move up six months the time for discontinuance of the manu- 'actWe of beer, although the brew cries may be allowed to resume oper- ations between that date and the ef- 'ective operation of the dry" legis- iation, if finally enacted, since to- days order was until further or ders."
 The manufacture of whiskey was prohibited last year and there have been repeated demands in Congress that the president exercise his war time power to stop the manufacture Of beer as a food conservation meas are. The House last May, in adopt ing the emergency agricultural ap- proprlation bill, attached rider which provided that none of the funds appropriated by the measure should oe used until the manufacture of beer vas discontinued.

NEW YORK MARKET
 RALLIES SHARPLY
Southern Spot Holders Said to Be Refusing to Follow the De- cline-Freight Allotment For October l50,000 Bales.

New York, Sept. 6.-Reports that Southern spot holders were refusing to follow the decline seemed largely responsible for further sharp rally in the cotton market here today. Ner- vousness over the price fixing talk seemed to have almost entirely disap peared. The general list closed steady at a net gain of 24 to 37 points. The opening was irregular, but very much better than due.
 The advance was held in check for a time by improved crop accounts from the Southwest, while some of the local bulls also were disappointed by the British ocean freight allotment for October. This was said to aggre- gate 150 ,000 bales, compared with the September allotment of l60,000, but offerings were readily absorbed There were rather sharp reactions later in the day when sentiment seem ed to be influenced by the action of the stock market and reports that banking interests were discouraglng any expansion of loans or the tlelng up of funds, pending the Notation ot the Liberty loan.
 Spot cotton quiet; middling 35.S5c.
