COTTONS-High Price of
Silk Stimulates Cotton Goods

One Of the outstanding features in
the cotton goods market which Is giving
added strength to prices is the con-
stantly increasing number of new
buyers. Partly because Of the ex-
tremely high price Of the more luxuri-
Gus silk and partly because of the
progress that has been made in better
designs and finer quality production
cotton goods are entering into con-
sumption in places where it formerly
was considered of too low quality to
be used.
Many of the leading manufacturers
of high class waists, shirts, under
wear, etc., the bulk of whose product
was restricted to silk garments, are
turning to cottons. The expensive
linens are being replaced with closely
woven heavy cotton fabrics, given a
linen finish. This applies to dress
goods as we'll as to household Linens,
such as tablecloths, napkins and bed
furnishings. Manufacturers of water
PROCEED and rubberized fabrics are
using larger quantities of cotton goods,
and the expansion in the automobile in
dustries has given rise to a greater
consumption of cotton in tires, up
holstery fabrics and imitation leather
and other materials for tops.

Nelson Again Heads
Chaufeurs' Society
Plans for New Clubhouse for
''Engineers" Are Being
Developed

William Nelson has been selected as
president of the Society Of Professional
Autom obile Engineers. Edward I. Trap
hagan, business manager of the s. P.
A. E., has written to Albert N. Akin
son, head Of the Atkinson Automobile
School, at 235 West Fiftieth Street,
telling the plans for the new clubhouse
to be built by the society.
The clubhouse will be at 1853 to 1877
West Sixty-fourth Street, a location
to be taken over by the society on
January /, 1920. The society has
already raised $15O,ooO of a $3.50, 900
bond issue to build the clubhouse, and
expects to get the rest shortly
Mr.. Traphagan said that the plans
as at present contemplated call for a
four or five-story clubhouse, with all
conveniences and comforts, including
gymnasium, showers, poolroom, library,
reading room, lounging and card rooms,
restaurant, Offices, laundry, balcony,
large assembly hall, and at least forty
living rooms for members.
This will be a striking example,"
said Mr.. Traphagan, "of the vast i'm
provement in the social and financial
status Of the chauffeur within the last
few years. The clubhouse will be a
credit to the enterprise and thrift of
the chauffeurs of New York City. Six
years ago this organization had mem
bership of 100 and no money; to-day,
our membership is more than 1000 and
Is rapidly growing, and We have large
capital.
"The chauffeurs themselves have in
creased the standing Of their profes-
sion in the same period, and are now
ranked higher in all respects than ever
before. There is not man in our
organization who has not furnished US
with references covering one year in
the shop and three years with a pri.
vate employer.
"A great deal Of the improvement in
the conditions Of chauffeurs Is due to
the influence of institutions like the
Atkinson Automobile School. The
automobile school has been q great in
tiuence for good in the chauffeur's pro-
fession 1T has helped both the
chauffeur and the public.
ANY man with reasonable amount
OF intelligence can profit q great deal
by q course In good automobile
school. 1t Is even a good thing for
men with practical shop experience.
l have talked with men In this very
organization who have taken a course
after six months shop experience, and
every one of them has told me that he
profited from the school,"

JEWELRY-Supply Of
Industrial Diamonds Short

Diamonds used for industrial and
scientific purposes are almost as hard
to obtain in the present market as the
highest grade stones, though importers
declare that the demand from the vari-
Gus industries is far below normal
Prices for the various grades Of in
dustrial or mechanical stones have ad-
vanced in some cases as much as 800
per cent because of the shortage OF
supplies in this country.
Because of the high prices asked for
diamonds cutters Of marble and other
stones have substantial carborundum
in the teeth Of their saws, but it is
said that the latter material has not
proven as satisfactory as diamonds.
Crushed bortz, which is mechanical
diamonds in a powdered form, used for
polishing gems, watch jewels and in
crusted work, has shown the most
marked advance in price, advancing
from 81 to SIS a carat. One importer
just returned from the foreign dia-
mond fields declared that even at this
increased price little of the material
is to be had. Black diamonds, or
carbon, used in the drilling Of tools,
he said, which formerly sold for sS5 a
carat, now bring as high as SITS q
carat.

Cereals

Wheat--The rapidly exhausting supplies
OF hard winter wheat have apparently
turned the demand toward the soft grades.
and In some sections 1t Is believed that
stocks OF this character of wheat will be
reduced. There Is no reason to anticipate
any actual shortage. however. as the vol
ume OF stocks Is quito large and more
over 1t Is the prevailing opinion in some
quarters that the outlet for -four Is going
to be smaller than during the season so
far
Corn-The corn market was easier at
the start. owing to a continuation OF Fri
days selling movement, based reports
Of larger receipts and more abundant
supply OF cars. The trade. however, was
very nervous about taking extensive
chances on the short side, and prices soon
rallied on weekend covering. Moreover,
the coal situation WAS not as promising as
had been forecasted on Friday. and there
were SO many uncertain factors in tho
market that traders were inclined to keep
very close to shore until the situation be-
comes more clearly defined.
Further talk of export demand for rye
and strength in that market had moro or
less influence on values, especially as there
were rumorH OF an export inquiry for corn
at only slightly below the market, With
some tntimation that small sales had been
made. Receipts were fair. although the
bushels under that OF the previous week.

Making More Room,
For the Automobile

The demands that the automobile
makes on the traffic facilities of the
modern city are 80 pressing that all
sorts of traditional arrangements have
to be cancelled for the benefit Of the
new mode Of transportation. For in
stance. 1t Is purposed to slice off Bos-
ton Common, that most sacredly
guarded spot in Boston, in order to
provide parking space for automobiles.
Indianapolis has plan to take up the
trolley tracks from one street, and move
them one block further away from the
center Of the town, in order to pro-
vide more space for automobiles.
These and other plans are developing
daily because the arrangements Of
nearly every town have to be ire
written" in order to make them fit in
with the use of the autom obile. There
are few big cities that are so laid out
rs to make the use of the motor car
convenient and practicable everywhere
IN them. The crowded condition of all
big cities in the business and theater
districts Is notorious, and the prob
lem is becoming more intense each day.
The rapidly increasing number of
automobiles in New York City. and the
fact that there are so few available
north and south highways in our long
and narrow island, is going to make the
must come when there will be overhead
"roadways for automobiles only,
through some Of the main avenues, or
else there will have to be system Of
subway parking places. The original
architects of the big cities, of course,
never had an idea there would be such
thing as an automobile, and anyway,
most of the cities, instead of being de-
signed, just grew.
Streets that were laid out to follow
the. ramblings of cow do not fit in
with the straight line plan required by
automobiles. 1t is problem that is
daily getting worse.

Make American highways 100 per
cent efficient - keep them open for
traffic. 1855 days of the year. Keep the
roads open this winter by removing
snow and preventing snowdrifts. This
is the purpose of a campaign being in
augurated by the travel and transport
bureau Of the B. F. Goodrich Rubber
Company. In the northern states the
highways are choked and clogged with
snow and slush during most Of the
winter months and for weeks at time
all highway transportation is halted.
Thus splendid highways constructed
Of brick, concrete and macadam at
costs ranging from $4,000 to 100000
mile are rendered useless. They we're
constructed and intended for continu-
GUS and uninterrupted traffic and will
fall short Of their purpose unless ample
plans are made and put into execution
for the removal Of snow.
Since the highways are becoming
more and more factor in our trans
portation scheme, it is fully as essen

sometimes be elevated in those places
where, due to the topography, there
will be tendency for drifts to form.
Two methods of dealing with the
snow problem, when snow cannot be
prevented from drifting onto the road,
are presented: the compacting method
and the removal method.
The first method is to compact a
hevay snowfall by the use Of a roller.
The rolling should be done with the
first fall Of the snow and when the
layers are loose. This process should
be repeated after each fall or drift
until snow is sufficiently hard to carry
traffic. This is recommended for ex-
IRENE northern sections.
The removal method is better than
rolling or compacting. An ordinary
road grader is an excellent machine
for scraping snow from the road sur
face.
A snow pillow attached to the front of
a motor truck has been used with great
success. Its speed makes it an ideal
remover while the snow IL falling.

is for railroad tracks to. be without

says that the snow problem can be

These increases, tho manufacturers
