measure. What she stresses 10 not
the credit for the bill but the fact TINT
1t constitutes "the biggest forward step
In legislation affecting women since
the passage Of the suffrage amend

The bill. which was championed In
the house of representatives by John
L. Cable Of Illinois, provides that the
right Of any woman to become
naturallzed citizen Of the United States
shall not be denied or abridged be-
cause of her sex or because she Is
married woman: that woman shall
neither gain nor lose citizenship by
reason OF her marriage or by reason
Of the naturalization OF her husband.
Women eligible to citizenship may be
naturalIzed with all the requirements
Of the naturalization laws, with the
exception that no declaration Of inten.

WEEKLY COTTON
REVIEW

NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-THE cotton
market has shown continued firmness
during the past week. Increased rea-
price of May contracts worked up to
|i7.75 which represented an advance Of
just about $40 per bale as compared
with the low price touched toward the
end Of March. Such offerings were
absorbed on comparatively moderate
reactions, however. and prices held
within comparatively few points of
the best today owing to reports OF an
improved spot demand and a firmer
spot basis IN the south.
The advance has found no encourag-
ment in the news from the domestic
goods trade or the New England labor
situation. The latter must be leading
to some curtailment OF mill production,
and while there has been little more
buying Of cotton goods in the primary
markets, no general demand has de-
yeloped and the tone has been unset
tied The news from Manchester.
however, has been more favorable.
British merchants seemed 10 have
developed a fair volume OF business
with Egypt, while an INCREASED inquiry
has also been reported from China.
The betterment in this respect has
found a reflection in larger sales Of
spot cotton in the Liverpool market
and according to reports received
here from Texas Liverpool importers
have been more active in the south
west
The sales officially reported in the
southern spot markets have not been
large but they have shown some in
crease and one of the outstanding
features in the future market here has
been the absence Of hedge selling or
any other indication of spot pressure.
This has held, speculative selling in
chick, while revolutionary sentiment
was created by the extent OF recent
advances, the market during nearly
the whole week has shown sensitive
ness to comparatively small buying
orders.
The census report on supply ar1
distribution for the month OF January
showed very well sustained volume
of home consumption and was regarded
by local statlsticians as in line with
previous prospects for a reduction OF
about 100000 bales in the carry over
OF cotton in this country for the pres
ent season. Next crop prospects are
not yet taking any definite shape but
there have been reiterated reports that
planting would be restricted by lack
of finances or fear of boil weevil.

GRIFFITH'S TOUCH
HAS DONE WONDERS
Inin1itsbIe Director Has Invested Sim
pie Tale Of Country Life with
Lasting Interest.

Had Way Down East" which viii
be at the Isis theatre beginning Mon
day, been prepared for the screen by
any other director than =. w. Griffith.
Il would have been a rugged produc-
ton with a tale OF abiding interest.
but would have lacked much OF the
distinctiveness that one observes IN
the picture as IL is now shown. As
suredly there would have been none
OF the wonderful effects that arc OF
Griffith invention and the story itself
would not have been amplified or
given such detail as IS now 20 be OBJ
served. In other words. there would
have been lacking the Griffith touch
and il is that which has brought him
to the position he occupies today in
the estimation OF every person who
has ever seen a motion picture-the
genius Of the cinema.
Griffith leads. lie is the pioneer. He
never rests content What was good
enough yesterday is discarded by him
today and he is always seeking per
lection. WAY Down East" consumed
nearly a million feet of film in the
making and then the picture was cut
down to paltry 1900 feet, later TO
vide a compact and impressive story.
When the completed product was
shown on the screen there was stiII
much TO be done in providing appro-
pirate and thematic music. And all
the time he is considering new photo
graphic details for future Nork. Long
ago he created. perfected and intro
duced such inventions as the close
mp" the switch back" the fade out"
the long short" mist photography"
In recent years nc has brought to at
tintinE. not of the picture but OF the
screen during the showing OF the aim.
Color photography has not been over
locked by him and in way Down
East" there is an exquisite picture
showing Miss Lillian Gish in a mag
nificcBt evening gown. The picture
always wins applause. But the CLOSE
up" will probably be always most
closely identified with the Griffith
fame That as an innovation, made a
sensation in the picture world. At first
it was a failure for the photographer
ala not quite realize what Griffith de-
sired and the heads OF the players did
not show at all But that was soon
and the closeup" was quick
~ adopted by every other director. The
list of Griffith improvements IS most
extensive but they are only incidents
in his perfected art

MOONLIGHT CLADES
Is REAL SUCCESS
Chicago Ladies Sextette Introduce
Latest Dance Music at Ball
Last Night.

jazz was given a Jolt last night at
the Moonlight Glades ball. when the
Chicago Ladies Sextette introduced 10
Pensacola the latest dance music with
out the strident notes, weird wailings
or piercing palpitations which are a
part of the jazz music still so popular
in the smaller towns of the country,
but fast giving place in the larger
cities to real music.
Sidney Levy, who brought the Chi
cago Ladies' Sextette to Pensacola for
the benefit of the carnival fund, was
complimented on many sides for being
the first to introduce in this city high
class modern dance music without the
"jazz."
The crowd showed its appreciation
not only of the dance music and the
excellent floor, but also the numbers
given. Miss Jane Palmer and Miss
Beulah Alkire giving beautiful vocal
which elected much applause
and Miss Nellie Lee Slaybach rendered
n violin solo which was also very
beautiful, and greatly appreciated by
the audience.
The hall was decorated in flags and
greenery, and the colored lights which
We're thrown on from time to time
added very much to the beauty Of tho
scene.
Besides Misses Palmer, Alkire and
Slaybach, other members of the sex
tette are Miss Rosamand Clough. Ber-
nice Horn and Oracle Cushman.
From Pensacola they go to De Fun
SAX, where they are scheduled for an
engagement.
The Moonlight Glades dance given
last evening was one OK the first car
nivai dances. Its purpose was TO raise
funds toward the expenses of the car
nival association.
