Public Health association that the
maximum life expectation 70 far from

further additions to our knowledge of
the causes and means Of preventing

Business In South on Uporade

Business In South on Upgrade.
Washington, D. C.-"Business in the
South is again on the upgrade says
Fairfax Harrison, president Of the
Southern Railway company, in his an.
rual report, which has Just been made
public.
"The output of the mills and facto-
ries has been steadily increasing dur.
ing the past few months" the report
continues. IAN outstanding feature
has been the operation Of the cotton
mills, a happy contrast with the
strike-ridden cotton manufacturing
centers Of the East.
Elm July, 1922, according to tie
figures compiled by the United States
census bureau, 96.S7 per cent of the
spindles in mills in the cotton pro-
ducing states were active, while IN
other states the percentage. Of active
spindles was only 1853. During that
month the average active spindle
hours in the South was $50, compar
ed with 145 in other states. In the
IL months ended July 81, 1922, the
mills in the cotton producing states
consumed 3.733,147 bales. which com
pares with a consumption Of 2,17S,761
bales by mills in other states.
"The more favorable conditions fol
the cotton manufacturing industry ir
the South are reflected not only Al
operating statistics, but also in the
record Of new mill construction. Dur
ing the same IL months, according
to the census bureau reports thai
there was a net increase Of 245,S3l
spindles in southern mills and net
increase Of only 1887 spindles IL
mills in states outside Of the South
A survey of new mills under CON
struction or in prospect Indicates {
continuation of the tendency showr
by these figures.
