Heflln Asks Commission to Find Cause of Cotton
 Drop

| WASHINGTON, April 6.-Senator
 Heflin, democrat of Alabama, urged | the federal trade commission today | to determine whether the New York
 ana New Orleans cotton exchanges
 were complying with the Smith-Lever
 cotton futures act and to develop the cause of decline of S15 to SIS bale
 In cotton in the last three weeks. Mir. Heflin also asked the commits
 sion tC investigate the extent of i short sellir s" in the cotton market
 In the past year by spectators and spinning interests of Great Britain The trade commission was author
 ized in a resolution adopted by the Senate during the last session of Congress to inquire into the opera tiCn of cotton exchanges and Senator Heflin appeared before the body to- | day to urge inquiry into number
 of specific phases of cotton market ing problems.
 In view of the fact that the United | states cotton crop of 1922 was very small" said Senator Heflin. and the amount of cotton produced not suffi- cient to supply the demand until an other crop comes in, why did the price on the exchanges decline from S15 to SIS a bale in the last three weeks? Was short selling respon sible for 1t? If so, who indulges in
 such short selling?"
 Many Complaints.
 Declaring there had been com plaints that contracts fer the deliv-
 cry of specific grades of cotton on
 the exchanges had been violated, Senator Heflin enumerated a list of subjects which he said should be in- vestigated. They included whether
 the exchanges or brokers tender on contracts only the 10 standard grades authorized by Congress; the names of brokers whC have sold cotton futures on the New York and New Orleans exchanges during the last 12 months and their business connections; the number of contracts and the number of bales of cotton named in them sold on the two exchanges during the same period; the number of bales of actual cotton delivered on the con tracts; the number of bales bought by spinners on contract and deliv- cred. and the percentage of the cot ton crop each year sold and delivered on exchange contracts.
 Senator Heflin also asked the com mission to report whether the exist ence Of the cotton futures exchanges is helpful or hurtful to the cotton producers.

 Warning to Turkey.
 As warning to Turkey, Russia and Germany against disturbing the peace. he declared Americas influ- ence in the League was the sole agency that could keep England and France "in amlty and peace"
 With Germany and Russia pros trate- as they are." he said, modern Europe means only Great Britain and France and what the world in the near future must be, depends on whether these two nations shall be friends or enemies.
 Britain is a trading nation and must have markets or perish. France can live within herself, but only in mortal dread of invasion by her age long enemy. Britain wishes Germany restored so that she may trade with her; France fearS-who shall say without reason--that German re- stored means another ruthless invas- ion for her.
 France and Britain have been ene- mics oftener than friends during the last 200 years. It is plain truth to say that there has not been a time in modern history when two nations controlling the destiny of the world stood so much in need of an impartial counsellor, guide and friend to com pose inevitable differences as they arise as Britain and France stand in need of such a one today.
 Japan Is too far away and is too alien In blood and tradition for such a service and it seems indispensably clear to those of us who believe, that this Is still Gods world, that this great detached powerful and peace loving nation of ours has been sent of heaven to thus serve our friends, our allies of mankind by holding these two great nations together in amity and peace.
 We may be able to accomplish this end, but 1t is our manifest des tiny to attempt this agency In the world, which such efforts can be made with the slightest prospect of success except that of the League of Nations"

treated in a very interesting way, I
have had this arch illustrated.
There are really only two ways of
putting hangings at such an arched
opening as this. One would be to
hang the curtains across the center
of the opening. putting the pole at
the point of spring of the arch. This
is an old-fashioned and not an at
tractive way to hang portieres, since
II leaves an opening above the cur
and leaves the pole in full view when
the curtains are drawn apart. The
straight line Of the pole entirely
destroys the beauty of the arch.
The better way is to fasten an un-
obtrusive pole to the wall about six
inches above the peak of the arch.

opening. That is. in the case illus

Love Letters That Made History
By JOSEPH KAYE.

not reproach you as the cause of what
suffered yesterday, for the fault was
with my own imprudence /
wish I were strong that / might be a
1t companion for you and not weigh
upon your motions. Coming home, i
lay down in the dark room and the
dark was what 1 wanted. Shutting
out all outward objects, the thoughts
seemed to grow upon me and clothe
themselves in forms and colors so
glorious. Much, much appeared be-
fore the closed eyes,
"Mein liebster, you tell me to rest,
out how can | rest when you rouse in
me SO many thoughts and feelings
What good does it do for you to stay
away, when, absent or present, you
grow upon me and the root strikes to
my Utmost lifei There is far more re.
pose being with you, when your look
fills my eye and your voice my ear,
than in trying to keep still, for then
these endless thoughts rush upon me
/ will be out at a quarter past
and then back"
Margaret Fuller, in the full glow OF
her fame as a brilliant wit, a writer,
a conversationalist, a woman of many
celebrated acquaintance, once said to
Emerson arrogantly:
Il know all the people in America
worth knowing, and find no intellect
comparable to my own" To which a
later chronicler of her life aptly re-
piled: "And yet that dazzling intellect
has left no monument"
1t has not. OF all her books and
writings none remain in our memories
and affections.

Margaret Fuller and James Nathan

Margaret Fuller of America corre-
spends to the brilliant literary wom-
en- of France. She was Boston girl
brought up on the classics, and when
she was sixteen she was already the
friend Of famous people. She was the
intellectual companion of Emerson,
longfellow, Hawthorne and Horace
Greeley, and acquired the reputation
of brilliant coESversationalist and
clever writer. Chiefly, she is remem-
bered today az one of the first women
who by assertive character and
achievements sowed the seed from
which the movement for woman's in
dependence later grew.
Margaret Fuller lived a New Eng
land spinster's life until she was
thirty-six. Then, on a trip to Europe,
she met the Marquis Ossoli. There
was a romantic courtship and they
were married.
Two years before she met the mar
Quis. Margaret Fuller was the literary
and art critic of the New York Trib-
tine, and lived with the family of the
founder of the paper, Horace Greeley.
1t was there she became acquainted
with James Nathan, a banker. The
acquaintance ripened into more than
friendship, but only a series of love
letters remains to attest to this
romance.
The following extract brings a
breath of the romantic, sentimental
and befrilled world of Americas
golden age:

Now there's this business of jeal-
ousy. How can any one take any
thing from you that really is part
of you? The answer is simple-they
can't. If some one has stolen a
love which you though yours, IL is
obvious that that love was and is ne
longer yours. 1t was lying around
loose. You had already lost IT. If
it had been part of you, If you had
an established hold on 1t and if you
were vital to it's life, no one could
have taken 1T from you. Therefore.
why be jealous? What good will it
do you? None at all. Whereas, If
you had realized the futility of jeal-
ousy and had proceeded on some
other platform, you might have saved
yourself the whole trouble.
Jealousy is one of the most revered
vices known to human nature. 1t is
an esteemed asset In practically every
feminine heart and most masculine
ones. In reality it is about as re-
spectacle as an appetite for hop and
as potent as frogs left hind-leg
stewed in the blood of a purple grass
hopper.
You can't eliminate jealousy by

The Jabot Has Come Into Its Own
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Ever since last April the dressmak-
ers have timidly put forth the jabot.
that swirling cascade of material
which was worn by the men of Eu-
rope when masculine dress was a fine
art. We of this generation have
known the jabot only as an adjunct
to a shirtwaist. 1t has appeared in
several varieties of frills, pleatings,
muslin and lace combinations as a va
riety of needlework.
Today the jabot Is a single swirl OF
material running down the side of a
blouse, not even ignoring the front
and back of a gown. It really is a
curious appendage to a frock.
When the first woman walked forth
in a black satin afternoon frock with
a jabot hanging at back, from neck
to heels, curling into the air like the
tail of monkey, observers thought
she had been suddenly bereft of good
taste. Not so. She was merely a pio-
neer doing a fashionable thing in adj
vance of its public acceptance. Most
pioneers are a target for jeers.
So popular Is the fashion now that
there are gowns sold at small prices
which nave these JtbOLS
from neck to hem in front or which
follow the line Of the spine at the
back just like the costly first models.
When feature of fashion gets into
the small priced garment its &C
ceptanee is widespread and there is
no more argument about il.
It is natural that such q simple
piece of drapery should find it's. way
to blouse. 1t proudly displays itself
on a long-waisted bodice that is
part of a frock, and il also gives
gayety to the front of a sport blouse
worn under a coat suit.
The sketch shows a midseason
frock of leaf-brown kasha cloth
which has a yellow organdie jabot
from shoulder to waistline. Organdie
is also used in a flaring turnover col
lar at the top of a high neckband
and as wide gauntlet cuffs at the end
of long sleeves.
The skirt of this frook, by the way,
is not devoid of interest merely be-
cause the blouse has the most con-
spicuous feature; II has wide box
pleat at one side, graduating in width
from hip to hem. which gives the
effect of fullness demanded by the
new skirt.
Yellow and brown mako a. good
combination, a bit newer than yellow
and dark blue. The woman who is
scheming good changes in her ward
robe will find that the addition of
yard of yellow organdie cleverly cut
and adjusted makes a brown gown
take on something of a jonquil's sud
den appearance in spring.

Chew, should you feel tired tonight?

His wife just smiled. She'd washed
that day. and baked some pies, and
set her bread. and showed the kiddies
what to play. (Three times that day
they had been fed) The door bell
rang so many times and brought her
down from upstairs rooms. The
phone disturbed her with its chimes
when she was welding mops and
brooms. How often had she answered,
"Wen?" when piping voices called
her name. How often had she had to
tell, Don't tease the baby, tits q

pairing tea, while Pete announced,

suddenly deciding that you will no
longer be jealous. You can only
eliminate 1t by learning the truth
concerning love and life. And this is
some of the truth
No one can or should belong to
you, any more than you can or should
belong to some one else. Love is a
service, not a possession. In so far
as you make yourself essential to the
happiness and strength of another, his
or her love belongs to you. But
when you cease to make yourself
essential you have lost that love and
you have no right to complain IL some
one else enters into 1t. 1t is your fault,
not theirs. If you had kept that
love rooted in your life, If you had
supplied all that 1t needed, no one else
could have uprooted it. You may
seek the protection of the law. or
hide behind the sanctity of religious
vows. but the fact will remain that
you have lost your spiritual grip
and that which remains is but a trav-
esty of power. Your only hope consists
in supplying those things which the
love you covet does need. Jealousy
cannot help. You are merely kicking
fate in the shins and making your
self ridiculous.
