WHY COTTON PRICE
CONTINUES Low

Many remedies proposed for the
beneht OF the raw cotton market
sound like prescription without a
diagnosis.

Spinncrs' Assoc ;ation's report, Just
published in Manchester, England, on

month ended January ], might show
why cotton is drug in tho market.
littlo further study OF economic con-
ditions should convince even the
grower that the situation cannot be
cured simply by exporting cotton, or
by levying a tarin on the products of
ether countries.
The time lost by the spin!les OF the
world in this six-months' period Is
appalling. With the reports from

TWO GOOD SPEAKERS,

The two New York bankers who's
speeches, to my mind, are most worth
reading are Francis II. Sisson, of the
Guaranty Trust Company, and James
s. Alexander. president of the Ma
tonal Bank of Commerce. They both
say something. They depart from the
beaten tracks. They evidently think
before they talk.
A good many bank officials arc
afraid to call their souls their own.
They are scared lest some director
might not like what they say.
Mr.. Sisson and Mr.. Alexander have
the courage of their convictions, and
talk out straight from the shoulder.

BY GEORGE w. HINMAN.

The American stock market Is full
OF securities that are really secure.
This cannot be said of any other
large market of the world. Yet,
month in and month out, the quota
tions OF the best American stocks
and bonds flutter up and down with
| every shock and tremor in disordered
Europe.
Nobody looks for a real buE move
ment in the present condition OF trade
and industry. Spectators may be
expected to make the best, or the
worst, of every shock that shakes
the nerves OF France or England.
But 1t sometimes seems as III in
vestors-and there are still investors
with money-might take their eyes
off Europe occasionally and look
around them.
1t Is plain that this country, in the
long run, cannot suffer as Europe
suffers. In every respect it's Difficult
ties are only a faint reflection of
England's difficulties and it's prob
lens bear no resemblance whatever
to the problems Of France or Italy.
AS between the United States ami
Europe, it would be better for Ameri-
can business IL Europe were sound
and strong: but as between the
United States and the rest OF the
world. the weakness of Europe is
Americas opportunity. Europe's
troubles have left the business struc-
ture of America towering mountain
high above the rest of the world. In
certain groups of securities 1t seems
as II this situation were hardly
realized by American investors. or,
IL realized. were neglected out of
vague distrust or positive timidity.
CONFIDENCE IN STOCKS LACKING.
In some industries and securities
this la * OF confidence is especially
striking. Iron, coal steel are the
fundamental powers OF national in
dustry. With them all things are pos
sble; without them. only mediocre
success. In iron, steel and coal the
United States so far surpasses the
rest OF the world that II may literally
be said to be first and the others
nowhere. 1t produces three to four
times as much iron and steel as Great
Britain at Great Britain's best. I'm
less the end of the White Mans
world, J. at hand-which no man be-
lieves-this supremacy will become
the most colossal fact in the business
of mankind, as Europe gradually
works back to normal

Perkins. who is to become president

Perhaps the most novel use to which
bread is put may be seen in some of
the great watch factories, where more
than forty loaves of fresh bread are
sometimes used each day.
From earliest times in the history of

reduce fresh bread to tho form of
dough. This dough is used for remov-
ing oil and chips that naturally adhere
In course of manufacture to pieces as
small as the parts of watch. There
are many parts of watch that are so
small as to be barely visible to the

SONGS THAT ARE IMMORTAL
Greatest Minds Of All the Ages Be
slowed Their Labors on the
Poems of Homer.

The Illiad and Odyssey were prob
ably sung by Homer about a century
and half after the destruction Of
the town of Troy following the ten
years of war that was waged in the
cause Of Menelaus, king of Lacede-
mon, whose consort had been carried
away by the son of the Trojan mon
arch. The two poems are as old as
Dayid's psalms. Originally the Illiad
would appear not to have been a sim
gle connected poem, but to have at
tanned at later period its present
complete state.
About one hundred years after HON.
er, Lycurgus, the lawgiver of Lace
demon, brought these poems into
Greece, and two centuries and a half
later Pisistratus is supposed to have
given them their perfect form. His
son Hipparcus introduced the custom
of reciting rhapsodies at the Pana-
thenaia, or festival of the tutelar god
dess. A more complete edition of the
Homeric poems, from which the mod
ern ones are taken, was prepared for
Alexander the Great by Aristotle,
which the former used to keep under
his pillow in a golden case. Also
Aratus, the astronomer, Aristarchus of
Samos, and Aristophanes, librarian at
Alexandria, bestowed their labor on
these immortal songs Because of the
fine moral sentiment, Homer became
the pattern of Thucydides, the favor
tie author of the greatest and nOblest
men. and one of the best teachers of
the wisdom of human life.-Detroit
