another soldier and / were
standing in front of six-foot fence,
watching the fire, when we suddenly

Predicts Demand for
Cotton VIII Outstrip
/, Production Increase

London. March l3.-"To anyone
who can invent an artificial cotton
a great fortune will come" Prof. J.
A. Todd declared to the Textile in
stitute at Manchester, the textile
center Of England.
Prot. Todd draws a pessimistic
picture of tie world cotton outlook,
and even maintains that it is in the
interest OF the world that prices be
maintained al high level.
Il have seen beautiful fabric of
artificial silk and wool, silk and cot
ton and silk paper, and it is not i'm
possible tina; the salvation of the
cotton industry lies in the invention
Of an artificial fabric.
Looking back over the past
years and forward to the future, ]
can see but little hope. We could
take all the cotton we use now each
year, and l00,00000O bales addi-
tional, because the world has not
yet come within sight of its require
ments. To whatever extent pro-
duction increases, the demand will
outstrip it. l venture to predict that
the problem of encouraging empire
cotton growing, which troubled our
grnadfathers, will still be troubling
our children and grandchildren.
Already we are actually in sight
Of a scarcity. Everything depends
on what happens in the next month
or two. .....
IF prices come down it will be
the worst thing that can happen, be.
cause that will mean reduction OF
the American acreage.

It Happened In Vaudeville

became i'll and left the company.
Braving the wrath of her parents
and the sneers of some members Of
her set, Miss Keeler applied for and
got an engagement to fill the va
cancy. Her salary. was but SIS a
week, but it spelled independence to
her.
One of the "beaux" was Homer
B. Mason. This young man had
graduated from the Brooklyn Poly
technic institute and had been in
tended for an expert electrician.
Piano playing and singing, however,
were more interesting to him and
Vaudeville salaries attracted him.
He knew, however. that he had to
make beginning and as a member
of the Octette his salary was only
$40 at first Later the ''Beaux and
the Bellies Octette' gained fame in
vaudeville and their salaries were in
creased accordingly.
Thrown together constantly in
the act, it was only short time
before the handsome young actor
was taking more than a professional
interest in the society girl from
Rochester. After several months
they read a story in the Smart Set
and its possibilities for vaudeville
impressed them so strongly that
they had it dramatized and made
their appearance as sketch artists.
The sketch, Hooked by Crook"
and their excellent playing carried
them to headline positions, and
during the time Miss Keeler became
Mrs. Mason in private life. They
have headlined in several other
sketches. but their latest
offering, Married" is regarded as
the funniest.

TF Marguerite Keller had not be-
come tired of society life in

are about million to one that the
vaudeville team OF Mason and
Keeler would never have been
formed. Miss Keeler was born in
Santa Barbara, Cal, where her
parents passed the winter months,
but they regarded their most perma-
'nent home as Rochester, N. Y.
where the father, Theodore V.
Keeler, owned the land on which
the present Rochester Chamber of
Commerce is built. Her grandfather.
Rufus Keeler, was twice mayor OF
Rochester. After finishing her
schooling at Vassar, the bewitchihg

concert. Finally the life palled on

anything to get rid of the ennui of
it all.
