WOMEN TAKING TO MoNocLE
Single Eysslass Rapidly Becoming
Popular Among the Smart Set In
English Society.

Two fashionabiy dressed women
were seen in Regent street the other
day, each wearing monocle screwed
into the right eye. According to a
member of well-known firm Of OPP
ticians the wearing Of the single eye
glass Is becoming popular among wom-
en- in society.
"We have had several orders tor
monocles from women recently" no
said. I'm every case there was genu-
Inc trouble with ono eye only. Rather.
than wear pince-nez fitted with one
plain glass for the good eye. they pre-
ferred mOnocles as being the least dis,
flgurement. They all chose those at.
ted with gold rims as being tho most
comfortable and the easlest to keep
in the eye. They take cords a1so,. for
1t requires the confidence born Of long
experience to wear monocle without
a guard.
sAfter all, why should the monocle
be a masculine glass only? It is a
mistake for some people to regard It
az only facial decoration for dudes
and politicians. Where only one eye
is defective a superAuous glass Is a
nuisance.
The monocle lends distinction to the
right kind Of face. It best suits peo-
pie with sharpcut features. It is about
time that the monocle came into It's
own."-London Globe.

ATLANTA, Sept 10 - Georgia
cotton producers are urged to hold
every pound of their cotton for 40
cents or more, to plant 33 1-3 per
cent of their 1920 cotton acreage
in food and feed products in 1921,
and to market their cotton seed on
a basis of $50 per ton, in state
ment issued by Commissioner of Ag

Brown said, "and this committee rec
commended 40 cents per pound as the
minimum price for cotton up to No

per cent per month thereafter until
the entire cotton crop has been mar
keted. The association approved
this action.
"We passed a resolution to the ef-
feet that 33 1-3 per cent of the 1920
cotton average should be planted to

mainly for the reason that the spin

The manufacturers may shut down

mended a price of $50 per ton fol-
sound, dry cotton seed, based or

their cotton as rapidly as possible

Plan Rail Link For
Pacific and Amazon

SANTIAGO, Sept f0.-Construc-
ton of a railway which would con-
meet the Pacific ocean with the Am
azon river, serving the republics of
Ecuador, Columbia and Venezuela on
the north and Peru, Bolivia and Bra
zil on the south, is involved in a
concession which has been authorized
by the Ecuadorean government. Au-
thority for construction of the rail-
way, according to a Chilean weekly,
was obtained fro the government
at Quito by Ignacio Leon, former
Chilean diplomat, for a syndicate
capitalized at S25,000,0O0 members
of which include many prominent
Chileans.
The route would start from Port
Bolivia on the Pacific and run to
Port Borza on the Amazon.
The proposed railway in addition to
serving a zone bordering on what is
said to be among the best petroleum
bearing districts in Peru, would at
ford means of connecting the four
large and isolated provinces of south
ern Ecuador, with 100000 inhabi'
tant with the rest fthe country.
An article reeounting the details
of the project quotes Senior Leon an
saying: "Apart from the establish
ment of inter-oceanic communication
of great future Importance, the rail
ways penetrating East Ecuador
combined with the navigable river.
