Australia Cotton

British Cotton Growers Asso-

Cotton growing experiments in
Queensland. Australia. are meeting

by the Department of Commerce
from the consulate general in Mel
burne and Trade Commissioner
Butler in London. The guarantee
by the Queensland State Govern
ment of sad per pound in the seed
expires in 1922. but the British
Cotton Growers Association have
guaranteed price which is sufti-
cient to encourage extension of the
industry. The first installments OF
about 100000 pounds of Queensland
cotton. sold under the new agree
ment. is reported to have recently
arrived at Liverpool.
Satisfactory returns have been
received from the districts IN which
cotton was planted. Yields in the
Dawson Valley district OF Central
Queensland have been valued at
over Eel per acre. 1t is estimated
that $500 acres will be planted in
that locality next season. Produc-
ton in the Alton Downs was re-
ported at over 1900 pounds per
acre. 1t is said there are 10000
0o0 acres OF land in Queensland
suitable for cotton production. Up
land is the variety principally
grown.
The cotpn expert of the Queens
land Government states that some
growers are obtaining over f37

that cotton can be produced and

SEX JEALOUSY
OXFORD WORRY

LONDON. Feb. ia new COM
plant against the male sex has
been heard at oxford among the I'M
derEraduates. Some OF them say
that the undergraduate is much too
polite. II girl student goes into
a book shop the men at once make
way at the counter and one will
rush TO hold open the door when her
purchases are complete.
II is rumored that there was sex
jealousy because Of the limited
room at the lectures. and that men
and women rushed for seats. On
the contrary. seats are at once
yielded to the undergraduates. who.
however. not to he outdone. refuse
to accept them.
Is all this extreme politeness a
subtle refusal to permit woman to
regard herself as equal Or is il a
conscious emphasis of the contrast
with Cambridge, where relations
are much less formal. and Newman
is repairing its gates?

Export Trade to
Mexico Increases
Total of $22l,s54,00O Slightly
Less than Entire Trade to
South America.

The export trade of the United
States to Mexico in 1921. totaling
S221.S54.e 900. fell only $4,000. 900
short OF that to all OF the con-
tinent of South America. according
to an analysis of Latin-American
trade by the Latin-American divi-
sion Of the Department of Com
merce. 1t is the only Latin-Ameri-
can country showing an increase in
our export trade in 1921 over that
Of 1920.
In 1920 the exports to Mexico
showed the enormous increase over
those OF the fiscal year 1s13-1i, the
index being 1864 per cent. In 1921
this index was further increased
to 512.5 per cent of the 1894
figures. Mexico took per cent OF
our total exports in 1921 as against
1.6 per cent in 1s13-14. The i'm
ports from Mexico increased only
about one-fourth during this same
period. The balance OF trade with
Mexico showed an excess of exports
over imports of S1o2,Io9,oo0. in 1921
as against an excess of imports of
over half that amount in the pre-
war year.
Trade with Mexico has been slim
ulated throughout the past year. by
many factors. the most important
being the relative stability Of the
exchange. At the same time, the
volume of our exports to Mexico
has reflected a rather unsatisfac-
tory agricultural condition in that
country, insofar as the exports to
Mexico of foodstuffs, which it has
heretofore produced locally in large
quantities, have exceeded all prev
ious records. Another item con-
tributing largely to the high export
figures from the United States has
been the immense amount of rail-
road equipment. locomotives and
rolling stock which has gone into
Mexico to aid in the rehabilitation
Of the railroads.

France Is suspected In many quar-

By Associated Press

Berkeley, GaI, May f.--AS- tronom1ca1 observations to test the validity of the Einstein theory of relativity are to be undertaken by an expeditions which the University of California here Is to send to Aus tralia during the total eclipse of the sun September 21, 1922.
 Several astronomers from Lick ob- servatory, which Is conducted by the university on Mount Hamilton. near San Jose. Cal, will make the trip. Dr. W. w. Campbell. director of the observatory, will head the party.
 Prof. R. J. Trumpler, assistant as tronomer at the observatory, will leave here March 3l for Australia. pr. Campbell and the other members of the expedition will sail July iS. This, 1t is believed. will be the only American expedition sent to observe the eclipse.
 The path of the eclipse will ex- tend from Abyssinnia over the Mall dive peninsula, Christmas islands and over northwestern Australia, along Ninety Mile Beach" The California expedition will be located on the beach.
 A British expedition, representing the Royal society, the Royal observa- tory and the Royal Astronomical so- ciety, will leave early next month for the Christmas islands to observe the eclipse.
 As the weather on Ninety Mile Beach" is expected to be clear in September, highly important scien- tific results are expected, Dr. Camp bell said recently.
