COTTON CROP SAID
 ID BE VERY SMALL
U. s. and Egyptian Producers 2. Have Suffered During
 Present Season
By Associated Press

washington.a December. 21.-Borld production of comm erciaF cotton fdr' 1s21-22 was placed at 15,5s5,O00 bales by the department Sfl agriculture m report made public tonight. This k the smallest crop since 1900, the report stated, and compares with 2o,65O,00 bales produced in 1920.
 Two of the most important cotton producing countries-the United States and .Egypt--suffered crop disasters" during the year, the, re port asserted, producing only el4 per cent of their total production of last year. or 5r667, ,000 bales less than was produced in 1920. The. cotton crop in ChinA South America, Mex leo and other countries, while said to be not so important commercially, was reported smaller than usual. ussia, which immediately before the war produced around 100000 bales annually, has practically ceased to grow cotton, the report stated.
 Prices for cotton in the United States were forced below productio ii costs last year, the report said, be cause of tn eforced shutting, down of spinning and weaving esta biish- ments in the principal manufactur- ing countries. Keduced consumption, occasloned by the inability of Rus sia, Turkey and many other countries in Europe and throughout the world to buy cotton cloth since the war, 1t was explained, necessitated the clos ine of world mills. f..
 American farmers, confronted with a large carry-over. last spring vol untarily reduced their cotton acre age, 1t was pointed out. and the yield was further reduced because com paratively little fertilizer was used and because of boil weevil ravages over practically the entire belt.' The American, crop also was seri- ously hampered by unfavcrable weather conditions over the cotton belt, the report further explained Egypt was said to have been affected by the same conditions.

 A red flag of protest flew to Camille's pretty cheeks, and glint of battle sparkled in her eye. AL though Elliot Glyn had acted queer ly. Dolly's batting" instincts must be squashed at once,s, That hasn't been my experience, so I can't agree with you. My friendships have been of the last ing kind"
 The pert little hostess raised her cleverly penciled brows the merest fraction of an inch.
 "Frienship? Poef! Be honest, dearie! What does an unmarried girl want with friendship, anyway?" Camille strengthened. Ordinarily she was rather fond of Dolly, but in the latters present mood she thought her very vulgar and ill., bred
 But before she could frame an adequate denial that would put Dolly in her place.. Reggie Van Tuyl leaned forward and interrupted with:
 "In be bored stiff in thip. ungod- ly place If we can't have little flutter of some sort tonight! What about a game of poker, you two?" "Rath-eri" said the pert hostess, quickly As the moth flutters round the candle so did any game that ss.vored of gamble. fascinate her. Camille held different views.

 To the outward eye, Camille was particularly cheerful during dinner. It was good policy to seem gay and care-free, the more especially as Dolly's gimlet gaze was perpetual .ly focused in her direction.
 But the one painful fact stood out in the. girls brain--despite her hap py- sounding laughter and her bad image. Elliot Glyn had gone! Nor had his brusque Tdeparture been marked by any sign or token or farewell.
 In view of what had happened on the moors today that was very hard to bear.

 odd, wasn't it, about the mes- sage from that mysterious woman?'
 At the first opportunity Dolly's voice, discreetly lowered, was di- irected toward her.
 The girl pretcnded not to hear.
 She had reckoned, however, with out her host-or, to be accurate hostess.
 For Dolly rambled on, under cover of & noisy argument that was oc- curring near by:
 Though my poor. dear, simple hearted Jimmy seems to think the fellows one of heavens own an gels, there's mystery about that man, Camille. Else why this un- accountable female, and her urgent wire from London? There's 'wom- an in the case all right. You bet there is!''
 Why shouldn't there be?" in- quired Camille with dry lips. CDid Dolly really want to torture herD
 She would keep her flags flying to the bitter end no matter what the cost might be, she told herself, with head held high. E t"Hm. You sound quite casual about it."

Congress should protect the American workmen in these lines
 Spokesmen for the American Litho- graphers and of the Lithographic En- ployes association asked that the com mittee double the rates in the Ford ney bill on Autographed calendars. pictures, cards. labels, flaps and cigar bands and the like, They declared that Germany was threatening the American industry adding that be- cause of the low value of the mark, German lithographing concerns paid only the equivalent of 2E cents American money for the same amount of labor that cost 45 cents in this country.
 The committee also was asked to protect from German competition a new American industry which grew up during the war--that of making stereotypic matrices and boards. Ben jamin Wood of New York asked for a rate of 26 cents a pound on this product, which, he said, would be equivalent to 4S per cent ad valorem. The rate proposed in the Bordney bill is 2S per cent ad valoreni.
 Keen Competition
 In presenting the cage for the American Paper and Pulp association, Henry W. Stokes of Philadelphia in- formed the committee that there had been falling off In the amount Of pa per manufactured and that no small part of the difficulties Of the manu- lecturers was the competition from manufacturers In Germany and Scan dinavia, who, because of low wages and appreciated currency, were able to make paper at a price which Ameri- can producers could not approach.
 Speaking for the American Photo Paper company, Nelson Curtis of Bos- ton asked that the specific rate on photographic papsr' be 5, cents a pound instead of 3 as proposed in the Fordney bill, with the additional 20 per cent ad 1vAlorem rate! unchanged' Charles F. Graham of Newatk, N. J. representing publishers of toy books asked for a 20 per cent ad valorem duty on those books, asserting that the industry was threatened by Ger- man competitions.
 Samuel Kraut, fancy bag importer of New York, argued against high rates on this product, suggesting that 1t should not exceed 8 cents pound.
