same ease that motor cars travel on
the city streets.
Experiments looking toward an
eventual large production of low

now being made in the hope that
they can be constructed so that
their operation will be as easy as
that of the automobile.
at was not fair stride from the
glider that will maintain itself in
the air for two hours to the low

"That, ] think, will come about with

reasonable when compared to the
automobile. 1t will sure to be slow.
But it will be simple to operate. 1t

Tn July, 1922 according to figures
compiled by the United States CEN
sus bureau, 9697 per cent of the
spindles in mills in the cotton pro-
ducing states were active, while in
other states the percentage of active
spindles were only 1853. During the
month the average active spindle
hours in the south was ESQ, compared
with 145 in other states. In the IL
months ended July 81, 1922, the mills
In the cotton producing states con-
summed S,733,147 bales, which com
pares with a consumption of 2,17S,767
bales by mills in the other states.
The more favorable conditions for
the cotton manufacturing industry in
the south are reflected not only In
operating statistics but also in the
record of new mill construction. Dur
ing the same 10 months, according to
the census bureau reports, there was
a net increase of 245.S31 spindles in
southern mills and net increase OF
enly 1922 spindles in mills in states
outside of the south. A survey of new
mills under construction or in pros
pee, indicates continuation of the
tendency shown by these figures.
There has been unsual activity in
