mental capacities in partnership 1rish~Scot-

that other meridian Of imaginativeness and
granite business faculties that he will need
in his new sphere. A Londoncr, writing this,
likes to think that childhood passed in Lon
don gave him some Of his lightning adapta-
bility to circumstance and opportunity, and
something, also, of his phlcgm In moments
Of obstacle and difficulty. These, It will again
be realized, are good qualities for an Air
Minister.
Lord Eothermcrc is only littlc known to
the public because such has been heretofore

"a very quick, quiet man.. That is the
repeated description Of Lord Rothermere by

respects his reign may be expected to be
unlike that of his uncle. He is said to
be without the capacity for comradeship
which so helped his uncle, and to be shy,
reserved, unbendng, lacking in self-conf-.
dence, weak and vacillating. 1t has even
been said of him that he has not got along
we'll with the army owing to his lack Of
familiarity with military affairs, and has
gained the dislike of his people and the
ministry
Ferdinand, however, took personal COM
mand of the army shortly after Rumania's
declaration Of war on Austria, on August
27, 1916.
Crown Prince Charles was born on Octo-
Der 5, 1893 He entered the German army
on January 1, 1914, as lieutenant in the
1st Foot Guards at Potsdam, in order to
complete his military education. He is
now an officer in the Rumanian army. He
is unmarried, although early in 1914 it
was reported that his betrothal to the then
Grand Duchess Olga of Russia had been
arranged.

Weekly Cotton Review

New York, October u.-Reports of in- ing crop prospects were accompanied by further declines in the cotton market curing the earlier part of the past week. By Thursday morning December con- tracts had sold off to 29.69c, compared With 32.6Oc, the price prevailing shortly before the publication of the last gov- ernment crop report, and 3650c, the high record of last month As prices worked below the 30-cent level, which IS the basis for present prices in the goods market, however, trade buying in- creased and there were rallies toward the end of the week on the support from this source and covering. The southern hedge selling was also less in evidence, leading to reports that holders were not disposed to follow declines below the o03 level
 The selling earlier in the week was promoted by the good weather in the south, and local traders have been inn pressed by belief that conditions for late growth have been more favora be than the average since the end of Sep tember figures were compiled. This has favored the talk of probable ultimate estimate of around 100000 bales, ex- cludlng lnterS, and local bears havS been comparing this view with predic- tions that neither exports nor domestic consumption would exceed last seasons. It seemed, also, that talk of improving peace prospects was taken more bear ishly than otherwise as an immediate market influence on the ground that even if peace should come unexpectedly soon the distribution of cotton would remain on war basis for some months to come.
 Reports from the goods trade have in- dicated increased curtailment of mill pro- duction because of the spread of Span ish influenza. This may not show in the figures of the census bureau next Monday, but scarcity of labor was factor during September. and it is ex- pected that the report will show little, if any, increase over last years fig ures.
 Part of the buying of the declines has been attributed to the French commits sion. Italian and Japanese interests have also been credited with buying, and persistent Liverpool selling heer has been explained on the ground of hedging spot purchases in the south.

The extensive thrift wave is about tc show us real values. The greatest pride will be allowed the housewife who makes the most of the things she has.
 The stunning made-over dress or hat is no more masterpiece, however. than the satisfactory and attractive meal made of leftovers.
 We can do much toward carrying out the food administration programme by judicious use of the stock of pantry sta pies. We must estimate all nutrition taken, as part of the regular diet We are all too much in the habit of eating Candies, ice cream, cakes of chocolate after our desserts just because they taste good. All such eating is now de- cidedly unpatriotic. The dessert must be considered an important part of a meal. Sweets eaten between meals must be dc ducted from the regular diet.
 In using foods from the pantry stock of staples conservatively one must con- slider all the food values in each can. Tlle only way to be sure of not over- providing in one group of foods is to carefully plan out all menus. Consider all rroteins- in all foods for the day and deduct from the main protein dish the amount afforded in vegetables that are used in the entire days diet Consider all fats used in the making of pastries and cakes as just so much fat in the days diet.
