ELECTRICITY Is MARVEL

Pretty soon hand picking OF cot

With the electrical picker. one
operator may cover eight rows OF
cotton without moving from his
first position. He can gather from
400 TO TOO pounds OF cotton a day
as compared to 10 to $50 a day
by hand.
The electric picker plucks the cot.

the boil. Then by a blower II

Best Way to Keep Fine

connoisseur recently.
Do you think of them as intN

generally recognized that II the

cleaning methods must be applied
to them.
Among domestic rugs the Wilton

These rugs are woven in the same
way as velvet materials, with q
backing Of cotton, and a war;

wires. The size OF the wires used
determines the thickness OF the
pile and each of the wires has q

A brief cleaning daily with Q

LESSONOF WAR
IS SHIP SUBSIDY,
SAYS COOLIDGE
Shipping Deserves Same Pro-
lection as Other American
Industries, He Declares.
\. By CALVIN COOLIDGE

copyright. lS2?, by Cosmopolitan News
ServiceD
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. IA
The outstanding lesson to America
of the great war was the peril that
arises from a lack of being inde-
pendently supplied with shipping
There was a time when the Amer
lean fleet was on all seas and her
vessels carried merchandise to
every port, SURPRISING all others
In the competition of it's service.
A change in conditions made
other fields more attractive to the
investment of capital. There came
q time when that which the ship
ping interests bought was increased
in price on account of the adoption
of the policy Of protection. That
which they sold was in competi.
ton with a like service produced
in free trade countries. The Amer.
lean Government refused any ade'
quate compensatory protection TO
her shipping. Other countries gave
their shipping liberal support
Everyone knows the result.
Fleet Necessary.
AS a consequence Of our expert.
ence we know now that a merchant
fleet Is necessary for national de.
tense. 1t is the second Of the
navy. We know that 1t is the
greatest assurance to the mainten'
Nnce of a foreign commerce. Our
business interests cannot be oper-
ated with the highest degree Of
success so long as they send their
products to market in the ships OF
their competitors. No country that
has built up and maintained a
merchant marine has failed to hold
4 great place in the affairs OF the
nations. No country that has
neglected its merchant marine has
ever been able long to maintain
itself as a great power.
Our lack Of foresight required an
outlay of three and half billion dol
lars for the building of ships. We
have a great fleet which ranks Sec
cnd among the nations or the earth.
II requires an outlay or fifty to one
hundred million dollars at present.
exclusive of depreciation to maintain
It.
President Harding has presented
TO Congress a mature plan for en-.
couraging the private ownership and
operation of an American merchant
marine. His plan would undoubt edl y
result in the saving of money TO the
National Treasury, the stimulation
OF national enterprise and the ad.
ditional well-being Of our commercial
interests.
Simply Protection.
He proposes that the same support
which the national policy OF protec.
ton gives to our industries shall be
extended to our shipping. This would
remove the Government from the
shipping business, insure the hest
possible market for its great number
OF ships and provide national re-
turn far in excess Of the national
outlay.
This will not be secured without
effort. 1t cannot be had unless the
people are willing to pay the price.
1t is a great opportunity which can
be lost through neglect or realized
through action. II the American peo-
pie wish to take and hold the place
which belongs to them among the
peoples of the earth, they will not
let this opportunity pass.

LAMP LIKE DAYLIGHT
TAKES CANDLES PLACE

The story Is told that in the
early days of Cleveland, more
than a hundred years ago, little John
Dosne,s son OF one OF the slaunch.
est of the pioneers, in playing
with the Indian youngsters, learned
to eat candles. He found them
a desirable substitute for candy;
they went down with much gusto.
But yielding TO an inordinate ap-
petite for them. he one day Sc
creted himself under the four.
poster bed where the family
candles were stored. and before
he was discovered. had devoured
half the winters supply.
Imagine the CONSERVATION Of good
mother Doane, whose long winter
evenings at her needle and spin.
ming wheel required the feeble
light OF the spluttering but essen.
tial taIlow candles!
In the chronicle the hub-bub is
all for the lost illumination. To
days fond mama would be all agog
over small Johns digestion. But
that's. because we OF today have
light 'so easily. at the touch Of a
button. In the Mazda now is light
the quality of daylight. which with
the proper shades may he diffused
so that lit gives neither shadow
or glare. Especially designed
lamps make sewing easy: reading
lamps cast the light at the proper
angle to fall on newspaper or open
book. decorative wall bracket lights
illumine a favorite picture, and
the colorful glow Of floor lamps
give our rooms the charm OF hos.
II Is hard to believe that
as recently as 100 years ago our
great-great grandmothers
sewed their long, tedious hand
seams by the light Of the flickering
tallow candle.
