FRESH AIR

A clear distinction should be made between "cold" air and "pure" air, the Arizona Tuberculosis Association points out. Many people, in their ef- forts to prevent tuberculosis, are ob- sessed with the notion that ali cold air is pure air and that all warm air is necessarily impure air. There is danger in &his notion, lt is pointed out, because it gives false security. It has been found some times by tuberculosis patients that sleeping porches do not always give the expected results. There are ln- stances where sleeping porches are found to be "dead air pockets. Moreover, the outside air is not nec- essarily always pure air, although the chances are in it's favor. The outside air in the vicinity of a shelter kills vegetation and is harmful to animal life. It would not do for a tubercu- losis sufferer to depend on outside ar in such region.
 The open air window does not nec- essarily insure sufficient supply or pure air, although it is, of course pre- ferable to the closed window. In aa- dition to opening the window, proVl- sion should be made to secure some circulation in the room so that the ar will not become dead" air. This IS the same as creating draft and many people will be mortified at this advice the fear of draft being deep-rooted.
 The ideal way is, of course, to sleep in the open air with sufficient pro lection to insure the sleeper against cold and rain. The next best way IS to have at least two windows open to secure circulation. ',
 Worst of all is the idea that cold air in a closed room is preferable to warm air in closed room. Cold ar in closed room cannot long remain mre. It becomes laden with carbon dioxide gas from the lungs of the per sons living or sleeping in tEe room; yThe only difference between a closed room with cold air and a closed room wit hwarm air is that the former IS more uncomfortable than the latter Reasonably cool air in both living rooms and sleeping rooms is highly desirable, but the coolness must come from the outside and must be mixec with purity to be effective; it mus not be cool simply because of the ab .sence of heat

the dairyman the satisfaction of knowing that his herd is free from tuberculosis gives him a feeling of security that his own family is safe from this dreaded disease, and not only his own family but his customers as we'll. We people of tke South should especially welcome this aid, be. cause we have so far had very little tuberculosis, and this work helps to prevent it's introducti ion.'

Dead Cow, Killed By United States

There has been voluminous CORE

page printed report by the house
committee.
Mr.. Willard, in an affidavit, depos-
ed that the COW was a Jersey giving
two gallons of milk in the evening
and trife less in the morning, max
ing the animal valuable unit of his
herd. He asked 500 damages.
Consider the Price of Beef.
The house committee on claims fl
nally recommended that the award be
500, after having considered the
price of beef.
If the biI1 to pay the owner $50,
or 500, is considered favorably by
the house when it comes up for pass

the senate and finally it must be sign
ed by the president. Eventually the

10000 NEEDED TO
PICK COTTON CROP
WORKERS SCARCITY TO BE ONE
OF MATTERS TO BE DISCUSS
AT THE CONFERENCE.

NEW ORLEANS.-Unless the
army of cotton pickers in the Ameri-
can cotton belt can yearly add to its
numbers an average of 10000 re-
cruits, spinners and manufacturers
of cotton may some day face seri-
Gus crisis, and it will be no easy mat
ter to add such a number to the cot
ton-picking forces of this country.
When it is recalled that the American
picking season lasts only from 80 to
100 days and that the average daily
work of a grown-up picker-man or
woman-is 1873 pounds of lint cotton
it will be seen that it requires the
continuous labor for 100 days of g.
100000 workers to pick 100000
bale crop.
This is one of the problems which
will have consideration at the World
Cotton Conference, to be held here
in October.
Demand Above Supply.
Not a few students of the raw cot
ton situation believe that the avail
able supply of cotton pickers will not
keep up with the growing needs of
the worlds spindles, because on the
one hand the cotton factories and
other industries of the south have at
tracted large numbers of laborers
from the cotton plantations, while on
the other hand European immigrants
have usually gone to other parts of
the country, avoiding the cotton belt
almost altogether. Nor is the outlook
brighter when viewed from another
angle-that of distribution of popu-
lation.
Seventy years ago the southern
states had nearly 40 per cent. of our
total population. In 1910 they had
only 80 per cent. while that great
cotton-growing section, the South At
lantic states, had upward of 20 per
cent in 1910 Can this wonderful in
dustrial age discover, invent or per-
feet a picking mechanism with a pow
er of selection more human than has
yet been foreshadowed?
Supremacy at Stake.
On a practical answer to this may
depend Americas continued suprema-
cy as a producer of cotton, or per-
haps the well-beipg of Ahe entire in
dustry over long period of years.
1t is, therefore, natural that this
phase of the cotton industry is to be
given serious consideration at the
conference to be held at New Orleans
in October. Those participating in the
conference cannot help but regard
with foreboding the providing of an
ample future supply of raw cotton
of the right qualities. Many of them
frankly fear a cotton famine in the
not distant future.
Indeed, it was this very present
threat of a possible cotton famine
that years ago impelled the British
government to the spending of mil
lions of dollars on railroad construc-
ton in the heart of Africa. The same
urge has drawn further millions out
of the savings of the factory opera
tors in Lancashire for investment IN
new cotton-growing undertakings un-
der the auspices of the British Cot
ton Growing Association in those
parts of the world where cotton grow
ing can be successfully carried on.
Before the world war the same i'm
pulse sent funds from France, Italy,
Spain, Portugal and Belgium to the
development of cotton cultivation in
such of their colonies as possessed
soil and climate and labor available
for the purpose.

ed they were certain there was abb
solutely no danger attached to the
investigation. Katmai's last big
"blowoff" was in June, 1912.
The party of twenty-six scientists
is headed by Prof. Robert A. Griggs,
of the University of Ohio, and some
are from Carnegie Institute. They
are planning to make observations OF
the botanical. biological and geologl-
cal effects of the 1912 eruption.
In 1913 Professor Griggs headed a
party of scientists to Katmai and re-
turned with the announcement that
the crater was the largest on the
globe and that near Katmai lay a
great valley whose floor was dotted
with thousands of mouths vomiting
gray vapory gas and smoke. This val

Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes.
Instead of 10000 it is said there
are literally millions of smoking
