II HERE have been few sensa-
tions thrown into the arena Of
clothes that equaled the short
French skirt Of this spring.
At first only the buyers and reporters
gasped; then the public actually
screamed aloud in protest against
the fashion.
It Is quite probable that France
created this sensation with purpose
and forethought. She had no new ma
terials to handle, and she felt that
some drastic action was necessary to
keep the attention of the world fas-
therefore, to very old method OF
shocking the world.
Each generation. and each segment
of a generation. feels that this sensa-
tional phase of fashion is peculiar to
forget what has gone before. Those
who dip deeply into women's apparel
realize that what Is known as orien-
talism in clothes appears and reap
the popularity Of its many revivals
lies in the fact that they occur nearly
always when the world Is in a tenn
pest; when there Is period Of terror,
or relief from terror, from stupendous
wars or social upheavals.
~
Women have been the ones to revive
these various phases of partial naked
ness The only men who have spon-
sored them are dressmakers. 1t is odd
that somebody does not arise who
could write an entertaining story of
the recurrent fashions and the extraor-
dinary historical reasons that pre-
ceded and attended this kind Of dress.
1t did not take much of u prophet
to foretell that Paris would revive it
this spring. and that she would do so
with the most extraordinary daring
was only to be expected: the exact
phase that 1T would take was what in
terested the students of clothes.

There is a feature about this cape
that should appeal to every woman
who has struggled to keep q circular

ders; there Is a button on each side Of
the bodice OF the gown, and a loop
on each side of the neck of the cape.

THE North Carolina Cotton
Association was organized at a
meeting of farmers, bankers and
business men in the hall of the
House of Representatives in Raj
leigh tes The purpose of
the organization is to swing a
campaign to make it possible for
the farmers to hold cotton now
on hand for a thirty-cent market,
and to curtail the 1919 crop at
least a third.
The spectators in New York
have by their manipulations fore
ed the price of cotton down to
such a point as to cause financial
disaster to the South, unless our
people unitedly rally. By every
rule of supply and demand cot
ton should be advancing instead
of declining. Everyone realizes,
however, that if a 100000 bale
crop should be raised next fall,
the price would most certainly
be around fifteen cents or there
abouts. And so this Association
is urging the producers to curtail
their cotton acreage, and add
more feed crops.

BY a margin of one vote equal
suffrage met its fourth defeat in
the United States Senate Mon
day. No further action at this
session is now possible, but the
campaign to submit a Constitu-
tional amendment to the States
will be renewed when the sixty
sixth Congress convenes-and it
will be passed, too.
On the final roll-call Monday,
SIS Senators-one less than the
required two-thirds-voted for
the adoption of the resolution,
and 20 against it. This resolu-
ton was passed by the House
Jan. 10, 1918, by vote of 274 to
1876. "a Democrats and 81 Re-
publicans voted for the resolu-
ton, while Is Democrats and II
Republicans opposed it. Sena-
tors Overman and Simmons, and
Smith of South Carolina, voted
against granting the ballot to
women, while Senator Pollock, of
Cheraw, not only voted for it but
made a strong speech in its adj
vocacy.
The Senate first voted on this
question in 1887, sixteen Senators
being for to 81 against. The
next vote was in 1914, Senators
dividing IS to "a against. On
Oct. l, 1918, the vote was 54 to
80, or Two less than the neces-
sary two-thirds majority.
The granting of the ballot to
women is as certain as death and
taxes, and those who oppose it
are merely temporarily scotching
the wheels.

JOB WORK A SPECIALITY

SINCE the armistice was signed
and Germany forced to admit
military defeat there is little
doubt but insiCious German-Bo,'
shevik propaganda has been CON
Quoted in every nook and corner
of entente and neutral countries
with a view to creating discon.
tent among the laboring classes
and thereby weakening the allied
governments. In many parts OF
the United States this German
propaganda has taken the form
of fomenting strikes and insist
ing upon unreasonable demands
on industry and trade. The rep
tile has wormed its way across
the seas and Enthusiastically is driv-
ing his fangs into the industrial
fabric of this nation. 1t is time
to tread on the head of this snake.
For the past several weeks a
huge strike has been going on in
Seattle, and other cities of the
extreme Northwest. The hand
of the Bolshevik was clearly in
evidence. Not only industries
were tied up, but by means of
the vicious sympathetic strike
las used there) churches, schools
etc were closed, the janitors and
other employees joining in in
sympathy. Fortunately, Seattle
possessed a mayor who is all
MAN. He called on the Govern
ment for troops, and with the aid
of armed force succeeded in re-
storing law and order, and the
strike officially ended Tuesday at
noon.
And the German propaganda
seeks its end in devious ways.
A union in New Jersey is now
taking vote of its members to
decide the question whether they
are to go on strike in opposition
to prohibition! The members
say that unless they can obtain
their beer, they will strike. Ty-
ing up the industry of a section
because, forsooth, the members
are to be denied their beer! A
pretty pass, but underneath is
this German-Bo lshevik serpent
endeavoring to stir discord and
create dissatisfaction. It is to be
earnestly hoped the fountain
head of this German-made propa-
ganda can be fixed and those
responsible be brought to the
bar of justice.
The Government is awake to
the |. w. w. menace, and 81 Of
these foreign spreaders of discon-
tent were last week arrested in
Seattle and other western cities
by the immigration authorities
and are now at Ellis Island, New
York, awaiting deportation.

Market for Hair.

II was stated recently that human

people have professed surprise 1T the
price. As a matter of fact, the figure

some human hair can he purchased at
81 low figure rs $50 a pound, but
this Is the coarSest commoncst stuff,
concerning the origin Of which 1t would
not be wise to inquire too closely.
From 500 to $50 pound are quite
usual prices for good examples Of hair
Of ordinary coors. while the rarer
Ines. particularly white aud auburn.
are much more expensive.
For pure white hair there Is always
a larger demand than supply, and the
prices paid for the best qualities vary
from about So to $50 per ounce. A
well-known London dealer has sold
white hair ut $500 per pound.
