King Cotton, Autocrat

King Cotton is threatening to be-
come the ~autocrat of the American
table. Not satisfied with having sup
planted wool in clothing, and provid-
ing the juice of his seed for olive oil,
he's the basis for fine lard, a third part
of a n~ew-fangled butter, and they're
putting up score of mills to grind his
seeds into flour that goes well in sew
eral delicious articles, sausage stufing
among them. When he gets into the
soup tureen and the coffee pot, King
Cotton will have the incest, tightest,
biggest kingdom that ever was. And
yet, only a few years G his king
dom was largely confined to gunpowd-
er and nightshirts. What a mighty
leap to pie, butter and wienersI =

Luminous Paint Is Put to
Good Use in Present War,
Greatly Aiding the Soldiers

Many ingenious uses have been
found of late for luminous paint.
Watches with dials which glow in the
darkness are becoming common, and
only the other day an order was given
for 100000 marching compasses with
luminous needles to be carried by sol
diers at the front, says Boys Life. I'M
mense quantities Of luminous cloth are
used by the soldiers who go over the
top. It is cut into small rectangles
about ten inches long and fastened to
the collars of the uniforms. The sol
diers can thus recognize their own
men in al indiscriminate fight in the
dark. The luminous paint is also
smeared on the end of sharpened sticks
which when stuck into the ground
make a fairly clear beacon.
Luminous tape is also used by the
mile for a variety of purposes. In this
way the observation-disclosures mark the
paths they are to follow. 1t has been
found that ON a dark night the lumi-
nous paint is visible for only 60 feet.
A soldier can dip his hand in the paint
and signal by describing letters in the
air or by wigwagging. knowing that
the enemy cannot see him a hundred
feet away.
