London, September 17.-When it gets to the point that storecler,<s complain and store keepers have to write to the papers to protest against women smoking in their shops, things have gone pretty far.
 That is what Is happening now in London, and it came about through women strolling out of the restau- rants and special tea-and-coffee smoking rooms in department storAs, cigarette in mouth, to visit other de- partments, puffing away as they made their selections at the counters
 Even in England 1t Is not consider ed courteous for men to smoke in shops. There are not actually any notices posted up, of course, but il has always been the custom for cigars or cigarettes to be discarded especially on entering those shops where women's clothes were sold.
 It is not the discourtesy the shop keepers complain of. but the danger They assert that the girl and wom- en smoker Is notoriously careless. and would just as soon drop a lighted cigarette on 8 pile of lace as on the floor-where she usually does drop it.
 Mans Attitude Changing
 The attitude of the ordinary man toward this sort of thing is changing When he came back from the war and found his womenlind. mother and the girls, all puffing away to steady their nerves" he accepted It as part of the new atmosphere and made no protest. remembering the comfort his own flag" had been al the front and glad that anythins could have been a solace to his loved ones during those dark days. Now however, little by little he is chang ing. It is the women's fault that tis tolerance is gradually turning into disapproval.
 Women, he finds. are not nice about their smoking. One of ths things that most upset him is thai women who are addicted to smokinI seem to find their keenest pleasure in 1t in public. They dote upon lighr, 1 ing up in theatres; at the promenade ] saucerts they stroll about the flooi

 Is that state of society robust where the young male is careree to the young woman? Is stronger when he shirks the responsibility of the protective spirit gave him? Is he ennobled by forgetting the kind of his mother is and and the kind of women that have transmitted to him untarnished heritage?

sign being in the shallow water it was
placed in water about IS feet Mr..
Martin was swimming ahead of the

COTTON ESTIMATE
SMALLEST IN YEARS
DECREASE FROM 1920 CROP OF
28.4 P. c. GREATEST CHANGE
ON RECORD FOR TIME.

WASHINGTON, D. Cotton
production this year promises to be
the smallest crop in nearly quarter
of a century, today's forecast by the
department of agriculture placing 1t at
8,433,000 bales; or nearly tive million
bales smaller than last years crop and
nearly eight million bales below the
record crop of 1914 This years acre
age is 28.4 per cent smaller than last
years.
The condition of the crop on May Is
this wear was 90 per cent of normal.
The production last year was $500
754 equivalent 500-pound bales, the re-
vised area in cultivation a year ago
was 37043,000 acres and the condition
of the crop June rs last year was 8O.7
per cent of a normal
In 1919 the crop was ll,4ZO,/o5
equivalent 500-pound bales.
The acreage this year is the smallest
since 1900, and never before, the de
partment of agriculture said, has there
been so great a change from one year
to another in acreage as there has been
from last year to this year.
The condition of the growing crop
has not in twenty years been so low
on June Is as 1t was TINS year. All
sections of the cotton belt have been
affected, according to the report.
Owing to the unfavorable condl-
tons in April and May and to other
discouraging factors, shortage OF fertil-
izers and unsatisfactory price, aban-
donment of planted cotton acreage has
been greater than usual east OF the
Mississippi river, ranging from 5 per
cent in North Carolina and Mississip-
pi to as high as 10 per cent in Geor-
gia. West Of the Mississippi abandon
ment has been slight.
