Men and Business
By RICHARD SPILLANE-

According to the Dry Goods Econ
omist. Miss Sarah Moulton. member
of an old and respected family. was
the first saleswoman in America
and her employment in the early
SOS by Benjamin Franklin Ham
ilton in his store in Saco, Me-.
aroused so much indignation that
the Hamilton establishment was
boycotted.
The Economist is in error. Long
before Sarah Moulton was born. in
fact before George Washington was
elected President, a saleswoman was
behind the counter in a little shop
in what now is Park Row. New
York. not far from the present site
of the Tribune Building. She sold
cookies and all sorts of odds and
ends, while her husband, with
whom she had come from Germany,
bought pelts from trappers and
others and laid the foundation for
one of the largest fortunes in
America.
herself and, when trade was dull
most attractive buns and cakes in
a little handcart. which she wheeled
up and down in front of her shop
to tempt the eyes and stir the de-
sires of passers by.
She was not boycotted. and neither
was her husband. so far as history
discloses, for she was Mrs. John
Jacob Astor the first.
And probably there were some
saleswomen who antedated Mrs.
Astor in American business.
A man on a farm in the Brazos
bottoms of Texas may not know it,
but he Is interested in matters in
Asia. One of the causes of the recent
decline in cotton is the credit unset
tlement In japan. Normally the
spinners of the Far Eastern empire
take about or per cent of the
American crop. There is doubt as to
whether, in the present depression,
the Japanese textile people can
carry their high-pficed stocks of
raw material or pay for some cot
ton that has not been delivered, as
yet. Not a little of the stun in
storage at Kobe and Osake may
have to be re-exported.

Of a buyer OF the new crop. Usually
the Japanese have been prominent
figures in the Texas market, their
purchases being mainly OF clean,
white cotton of nearly one-inch

In the northern part of Okmulgce
County, Oklahoma. there is one

There are nine wells on tho Ok

Notes BY a Washington Observer
Gov. Cox Was Fond of Mother - London En-
tertains Brandes - European Trip
Popular -Baruch Here

Not since the summer before our
entry into the war has Washington
been so deserted a city. During the
three intervening seasons war &C.
tivities compelled the presence of
thousands of high and low degree
who ordinarily would have fed from
the equatorial Capital. The summer
OF 1920 finds the District in its nor
mally denuded condition, with an
even larger number of personages
than usual away on President
campaign business. The Shoreham
restaurant at luncheon-t time is al
ways q barometer OF Washington
from the personnel standpoint. Now
adays II Is as devoid of notabilities
as Congress during a treaty debate.
Cox's Mother His Companion.
When Gov Cox was serving his
last term in Congress, his unfailing
companion at White House recep-
tions and minor social functions in
Washington was his S0-year-old
mother, who has since died. Mrs.
Cox had boundless confidence In the
political future of Jimmie" her
Washington friends are now recall
ing. and would often impart her
faith that "he will one day be Presi-
dent"
"A. M. sImmortal."
Politicians remarked yesterday
that the witching hour of 2 a. m.,
or thereabouts, will forever be as
sociated with 1920 Presidential nom
nations. Chroniclers of the Chicago
convention have immortalized that
hour before the dawn as the time
when Republican Senatorial leaders
broke the deadlock that eventusted
in the nomination of Senator Hard
ing. 1t was a few minutes before
2 a. m, that Gov. Cox went over
the top At San Francisco. and now
comes Perley Parks christensen OF
Utah, standard-bearero Of the Farm
er-Labor Party, with a just before
2-o'clock nomination to his credit.
Woman Bank Director.
Mrs. Edith Wallace Pichon, a
Washingtonian, who must be re-
lated to the famous French foreign
minister of her surname. has been
made trustee of the Fidelity Saw
!ngs Company. and Is now in full
charge Of the institutions loans. AL
though only in the early forties,
Mrs. Pichon Is already q grandmoth-
er. She says she Is not a suffragist.
Brilliant Reading Dinner.
That was-a brilliant galaxy of
bench and bar celebrities that Lord
Reading assembled at luncheon in
London on Wednesday to meet JUS

David jayne Hill.

The conservative members of the
Republican State Committee of
New York have selected him AS
temporary chairman of the coming
State convention. His rival for the
place, who was supported by the
younger men of the progressive
type" was Col. Arthur Woods. One
of Mr.. Hills supporters said that
he was chosen because he could
make a better speech than any one
else, one that could be used as a
campaign document. 1t will be or
