OF Father Grogan, the chief result Of
the war on ireland was TO drive her

"Bnt In the last few months" con-

been tendency TO the cities again.
We are finding more and more Irish
men who want 10 get city work--and
that really means that they want TO
do police work.
THE Irish are a peculiar lot, but |
they are an enthusiastic lot. And n |
I do say it-being Irish--they make |
good immigrants. They make good
citizens. too.
i've seen them come in here. tired
OF the struggle at home, tired of the |

FRANCE IS STOCKED
With MUCH LIQUOR
French Senate Commission Ad.
Vocates Using Surplus as Fuel

Paris, Jan. s. What France
should do with her excess alcohol
has become one of the burning indus
trial and national problems in the re-
| public. While France has no prohi-
! bition movement under way, she is
seriously troubled by the economic
aspect Of an excess production of
| wine, and especially alcohol.
A senate commission reported re-
Gently on the problem. 1t comment
ed on prohibition in the United
| States pointed out that Frances
liquor and wine exports had been re-
duced by such prohibition. and then
made the fiat statement that there
could be no question as to the de-
STABILITY in France of reducing the
human consumption of alcohol, that
alcohol today was national danger
to the republic.
Seeking ways to meet the economic
difficulties presented by the actual
situation, the commission insisted
that the surplus production of alco-
hol be used nationally as a fuel by
mixing it with benzine, gasoline and
other like substances in proportions
ranging from ten per cent up.
1t Is proposed to run automobiles,
locomotives and factories with this
mixture, and at the same time save
part of the money now spent abroad
for coal and other oil fuels. Many
experiments have been made, and
large prizes offered, for the best mix
ture.
The principal factors in the alcohol
problem are that there is possibly
smaller consumption of alcohol in |
drinking because of increased prices
and that France produces far more /
alcohol than she can herself normally
consume. 1t is argued that the hui
man consumption of alcohol may be
further reduced if better uses for the
product are found.
However, 1t is pointed out that
nearly three-fourths of Frances pop
ulation gains its livelihood, directly
or indirectly, through alcohol,
the people are engaged in
Agriculture or In commerce.
France, the report shows, is now
producing an average of billion
gallons of wines and alcohol yearly,
put of which is obtained an annual
internal revenue of about billion ;
francs, with export values of upwards I
Of half billion francs yearly.
The final conclusion of the COM [
mission is that Frances 22,O00,00 /
yallons of pure alcohol, produced !
rom grain, beet sugar and molasses, c
hould be diverted from certain pres
mt uses, including human consump- i
ion, to general use as fuel. q

COTTON MARKETS
 VERY QUIET WITH FEW FLUCTUATION

NEW YORK, August 25.-The cot ton market was very quiet thls morn ing and fluctuations correspondingly narrow. After selling at 24.25c at the opening, October eased off to 24.OSc and closed at 2411c, with the general market closing steady at a net decline of 4 to II points on all months except September, which was 15 points higher.
 The market opened steady at an advance of ? to points on reiterated reports of increasing cotton goods trade activity and further rains in the eastern belt December sold at 241So and January at 29.90c during the first few minutes, but the advancs evil dently met scattered southern selling or liquidation for over the weekend. This led to reactions of several points during the middle of the morning, with December selling down to 24.04c and January to 23.72c, or If to F points net lower. Offerings were not heavy, however, and on the whole or ders seemed to be pretty well divided late in the morning with the close showing slight rallies from the low est. Two more of the private end August crop reports were issued, one of them making the condition 55.9 and the indicated yield 10,926,000 bales. The other placed the condition at 06.4 and the indicated yleld at It, 260 900 bales The showing of the private reports so far issued and their failure to create a more aggres- sive sentiment is regarded by some of the traders here as indicating that end-August crop figures have prob ably been discounted. As a result, they are more inclined to study con ditions with the reference of the ab- sorption of the early new crop re- ceipts and this morning talks of in creased hedge selling seemed to be pretty well offset by the news from the goods trade. The amount of cotton on ship board awaiting clear ance at the end of the week was about 47000 bales, against 46.000 last year. and while the amount was small, there was some comment on the fact that it exceeded last years figures for the first time in a long while.
