COTTON SHORTAGE
 44,5OO,OOO BALES
Germany Had Made Use of Many Expedients to Ob-
 tain Staple.

Washington, March 2O-Germany's s cotton shortage is estimated to be 4.5OO.O00 bales of 500 pounds each, in official dispatches based on tie opinion of European experts and made public today.
 When Germany began hOstiliues in 1914, the country had on hand only about 800, 900 bales of raw and man. ufactured cotton, a supply sufficient for three or four months The pre- war consumption had been two mil lion bales annually, much of which was exported. but the cessation of exports was fully offset by military needs so that the country's require lnents were not 1essened. The stocks on hand were supplemented to the ex- tent of 100000 bales by seizures in invaded districts.
 Many eXpedients were described as having been used by the Central Powers to obtain the staple through neutral countries, and in the first three years reasonably large quanti- ties of cotton goods'' were imported in that way
 Substitutes for cotton made from paper, nettles. etc. were not very successful. and only 10 per cent. of Germany's normal domestic cotton consumption was met in that way.

DIvORCES CAIN
 ON MARRIAGES
Statistics Show One Out of Every 9 Marriages Ends
 in Divorce.

Washington, March 20 - ApproxI- mately one out of every nine mar riages in the United States is termi- mated by divorce. according to figures computed by the bureau of the census and madep ublic today.
 Excluding South Carolina where all laws permitting divorce were re- pealed in 1878, the three lowest di- vOrce rates in 1916 for which year returns are now complete. are shown for the District of Columbia, North Carolina and New York, where the rates were 13, 31 and 32 Der 100000 resp pectiveIy. The highest rates were returned for Nevada, Montana and Oregon. which showed 6O7, 323, and 225 respectively.
 In all states, except Maine. West Virginia, South Carolina. Alabama, Mississippi North Dakota South Da. kota and Colorado the divorce rates were higher in 1916 than Tn 1906 In 31 per cent of the cases in 191V the divorce was granted to the husband, while the husbands rate in 1906 was 6T per cent.
 DeseriOn is shown by the figures to have been the cause for about 3S per cent. of the divorces. Among other leading causes were cruelty, in- EGCiity and failure to provide.
 Records also showed that the mar riage rate in 1916 was 1.O5O per 1OO.- coo, or nine times as great as the di- vOrce rate Of 112 per 100000. The marriage rate in 1906 was 1.O2O per 1OO,C coo. showing the marriage rate to be increasing considerably more slowly than the divorce

BEDFORD BUYS NEW HOME IN
 SUNNY SOUTH
Greens Farms Man Likely to Retain Beautiful Sunk
 en Gardens.

The following appearing in the columns Of the Florida Timee-Leader of Jacksonville, Fla, brings the news that well known resident of this vi cinity will shortly establish himself in the sunny South.
 E. T. Bedford resides in Greens Farms. has extensive business in- terests throughout the country. He left his home some time ago for a tour Of the South by auto.
 MT. Bedford Is reputed to possess some of the most beautiful sunken gardens in this country. They adorn his residence at Greens Farms, and are annually visited by hundreds of New EngIanders.
 As the article makes no mention of his intention to give up these treasures, it appears that his Fairfield county home will continue to attract tourists.
 2. T. Bedford, of New York, presI- dent of the Corn Products Refining Company. having manufacturing plants in Chicago, New York, Pex-n, III, St. Louis and Oswego, N. Y. with Mrs. Bedford and Miss Gladys Red ford, is a. guest at the Windsor Hotel, arriving in Jacksonville yesterday after 8 sOjourn at the Mountain Lake club, in Polk County, where there Is a colony of winter residents. com posed of men of affairs of the North.
 Mir. Bedford had been in that sec- ton of Florida but a short time when he appreciated the climate and sur oF purchasing himself a piece of land upon which he will erect a winter home to cost about $50, 900 and will lay off about six acres in surrounding grounds. The site will De on the shores of the lake and MT. Bedford and family anticipate many pleasant winter months at the newly establish ed home in Florida
 MT. Bedford is interested in the Standard OH holdings and has been a member of the executive comnlit- tee of that company, and also was di- rectly associated in business with John D. Rockefeller, who lives in Florida, having built a home at Or mond Lake.
 MT. Bedford stated that now the war was over the United States had reached a great expansion in indus tries and there must be a reaction. First the cost of living will have to be reduced. He thinks the supply and demand will regulate this and eventually the labor wages will have to come down. The cost of living and wages, he added. had been away out of proportion and these must now find their level.
 He believes the new eight-hour day for labor had come to stay. It would be beneficial as well as em- ploy a greater number of men. As an illustration, his factories would work three shifts in the twenty-four hours, which will be an additional 23 1-3 per cent. of labor.
 Florida, said Mir. Bedford. was more attractive to him this year than any other season in which he had visited this state, and the climate all that one could desire. Ht had no idea of investing in property when .ile came here this winter but could not resist when he had seen the Mountain Lake club region, near Lakeland on Lake Wales.
 MT. Bedford is a strong advocate of good roads These. he said would make a country. They are like good morals and will be the upbuilding Of this state.

ARCHBISHOP IS
 IN OFFICE NOW
Distinguished Crowd Sees Ceremony Elevating Hayes
 to High Rank.

New York, March 20 - Patrick Joseph Hayes, who was born in the parish Of old St Andrews, in the shadow of the present-day Municipal building, is Metropolitan Archbishop of New York, one of the greatest sees in the domain of the Roman Catholic church.
 He was so proclaimed and installed It St. Patrick's Cathedral yesterday afternoon in a ceremony that is prob ably without precedent in the history of the church. For in association with the ancient rites there was in jected the olive drab of America s army, the blue of its navy.
 As Bishop Ordinary of all Catholic chaplains in the American military service, it was only natural that Archbishop Hayes installation should be participated in by some half a hundred army and navy chaplains by Major-Gen. Thomas H. Barry, Major Gen. John O'Ryan, Major-Gen. D. S. Shanks, Rear Admirals Nathaniel R. Usher and John D. Mcdonald, Col. John J. Phelan and Lieut-Col. Will liam J. COstigan. 6qth Infantry, N. Y. x. G.; Col. Edward 4. Brown, Adju- rant-General United States Army, and scores of other soldiers Of the sea and land.
 It was also appropriate that such distinguished Iaymen as Victor J. Bowling Morgan J. O'Brien, Charles B. Alexander John G. Agar, Adrian Iselin, William D. Guthrie, Henry Heide. Thomas Hughes Kelly, Nicho- las F. Brady. George B. Macdonald, Joseph ?. Grace and ". Bourke Cochran. men whose lives have been coinCident with the life of New York should have been conspicuous in the procession.

BIC ARCHITECT
 PRAISES OUR CITY
Expresses Delight on Fine Development in Brook
 lawn Section.

H. K. Moses of the Architectural department of the United States Housing company was accompanied yesterday by F. L. OImstead, Chief of the Town Planning department, and Arthur L. Shurtleff, designer of the Plaza in this city, in a tour of in spection of the buildings of the Hous- ing company, to get data for a book, to be issued by the government on the lessons to be learned from the Hous- ing effort. MT Olmstead is the most prominent town planner in America and is well known here as the plan ner of the Bridgeport parks.
 Mir Moses was formerly with Stan ford White, and is one of the leaders in the movement to revive Colonial Architecture in America, on which subject he has made a very intensive study.
 These two men congratulate Bridgeport on having built in the center of the city, a city as interest ing as Seaside Village.
 Mir. Moses said: Tt looks like a bit of England"
 After inspecting the work recently done in the Brooklawn section, he ex- pressed delight at the large amount of Colonial architecture here shown. and he looked forward to the time that Bridgeport would build entirely in brick, using to advantage the types of houses the U. s. government has built through the Housing Go.
 In this city there are ten differ ent types of buildings which have pre- cedent in various older cities of the United States, dating back to early building in brick.
 The brick used in most of these buildings is made in this State.
