Girls Stop Jazz When They Realize

San Diego. Cal, Sept. THE next
time Mary Ellen starts out for the
country club dance, tell her how
pretty she looks and that she's going
to be the most graceful dancer on the
floor.

sonal appearance will do more than
all else TO clear up the jazz era OF

Hanker started telling young people

she's never encountered a young per-

Years ago I became convinced

Argentine to Enter Field
As a Producer of Cotton

the mercy of market that is now lost
the belated effort to inaugurate new
industries is proving of absorbing III
terest.
Cotton growing in Argentina is not
an experiment, for in certain northern
provinces it has been grown in limited
quantities, with good success. 1t is
claimed that as a result of the good
prices in war times more and more at
tention has been given to this crop in
recent years by individual growers.
The Department Of Commerce of the
United States estimates that crop
of 13,000,000 bales will be needed to
supply the worlds demand this year.
and Argentine growers are reported 70
be planning increases of their acreage.
Improving Quality OF Product.
Growers here are devoting much o.
their attention to improving the quail
ity of their cotton. They are buying
better seed and are giving more atten-
ton to cultivation, picking, ginning
and balng. The improvement in the
newer methods of CHASING the pick
ings have made it possible for Arge1-
tine cotton to pass muster on the ex-
acting Lancashire market. In. short, II.
is claimed that Argentina is producing
an excellent quality of cotton which
compares favorably with North Amer
lean and can find a market anywhere.
British spinners are reported to D.
urging cotton growers here to extend
their operations. The English have
been trying also to enlarge the cotton
acreage in Brazil. North American
spinners, too, assert that new cotton
areas must be developed to offset the
shrinkage in the North American crop
due to the devastation of the boil wee
vii in the cottton-growing states.

ITALY CITES PRECEDENT.

Milan. Italy. Sept. 1.-America's
occupation Of Vera Cruz during the
Carranza regime in Mexico, was cited
by Italian officials today as one
precedent for the occupation by Italian
naval forces Friday of Corfu after
the Greek government had rejected
the full terms of Italy's ultimatum
demanding redress for the assassina-
ton of the italian boundary delimita-
ton commission
AS was the case with the United
States government at that time,
Italy denies that the occupation of
Corfu, carried out after a lombard
ment in which number of persons
were killed. was an act of war.
The occupation was characterized
in an official statement as purely
temporary measure, designed to main
tain Italian prestige, to remind the
Greek government of its responsibility
and demonstrate Italy's firm intention
TO enforce the reparations due her
in accordance with the usages and
rights of peoples.

to establish this country as a cotton
producer foc the markets Of the w0rl!
Under direction of the department OF
agriculture 100000 hectares of land
Ga hectare is 2.47 acres) has been set
aside for the purpose of developing
cotton cultivation. The land is in tho
northern provinces of Chacv and
Misiones, has railroad transportation
and, it is claimed by the director gen.
eral of lands and colonies, is particu
larly suitable for cotton growing.
The decision of the present admins
tration to enter actively into plans for
the encouragement of cotton growing
follows close on the realization tina:
the prosperity of the country cannot
continue with livestock as the princi-
pal industry. With European marke's
practically gone-and they were the
ucts-this country has felt the hard
times keenly.
Reason for Hunting New Industry.
Commercial failures continue to be-
heavy owing to the falling off in for
eign trade and the consequent effect
on domestic business. In the first six
months of this year the liabilities in

reached the enormous total of $780,

TO DECIDE GOLF FEE
Mayor Expects Majority Of Commits
siOners to Favor a Charge.

Whether the city will inaugurate a
charge of % cents for playing on the
Breckenridge Park municipal golf
conference between Mayor John w.
Tobin and the city commissioners
Monday or Tuesday. This was indi-
Gated Saturday when the mayor re-
iterated his determination to make it
a pay" course, providing the other
commissioners, or majority of them,
will back him up in it.
Commissioner Ray Lambert, in
charge of the parks and in whose de-
partment the golf course belongs. had
stated on Friday that he was opposed
to charge being made. Commission
er Lambert expressed the belief that
the parks belong to all the people and
that they should not be charged for
their use. The park commissioner
also expressed doubt If the city could
legally make a charge.
Mayor Tohin said Saturday that
City Attorney Joe Ryan had ruled
that a charge would be legal. While
he agreed with Commissioner Lambert
in principle, Mayor Tobin declared
that the money derived from the fec
charged would materially assist in
keeping IN the course. He interview
ed players all morning last Sunday,
the mayor said, and found not a single
one opposed TO the charge.
The city has been put TO a great
deal of expense in building the cluf
house, the mayor said. and faces still
more. A starters and caddy's HOUSE
must be built, he said, and lawn
mower, costing in the neighborhood
of $500, must be purchased. With 8

the course could be kept in tip tor
shape. Mayor Tobin expressed the be
lief that three of the commissioners

TO INSIST ON APOLOGY
Italian Seaplanes Scout Over Greel
Coast.

Rome. Sept. with n united ma
ton behind him, Premier Mussolini is
proceeding with his program of ex-
acting PREPARATIONS and suitable apollo
gies from Greece for the murder of
five Italian commissioners.
Italian seaplanes arc now scouting
over the Greek coast. Italian sailors
have seized the wireless station on the
Island of Patmos.
Premier Mussolini met with his
cabinet this afternoon and made a
formal report on the occupation of
Corfu. He informed his advisers
that there were about ten casualties
as the result of Smelling by Italian
ships.
Mote: Greek reports show 81 were
killed and injured.)
Dispatches from Corfu tell of the
systematic extension of the occupied
area of the Greek island. The first
landing, made at the city of Corfu
proper. now has been extended to
include all strategic points. These
positions have been seized without
resistance, it is stated.
The inhabitants are described as
being apathetic. The Greek authori-
ties handed over the customs, postal
and telegraph offices without protest.
while the municipalities turned over
revenue offices. The blockade of the
island was fully effective beginning
Saturday morning.
Before landing the Italians invited
the foreign consulstes to hoist the
flags of their respective countries.
Responsibility for the killing and
wounding of civilians at Corfu is
placed upon the Greek authorities in
an official statement from the gov
eminent issued tonight.
The killed and wounded at Corfu
were civilians who were inside the
fortress during the bombardment and
responsibility lies with the Greek au-
thorities who did not heed the Ital-
ian fleets warning and failed to pre-
vent civilians from entering Corfu's
principal military stronghold" the
statement declared.
A Greek official statement, issued
earlier Saturday, claims that the
Italians were informed the fort was
dismantled and was housing only
refugees, including many orphans.
Premier Mussolini's report to the
cabinet of ten casualties at Corfu is
the first reference to Smelling of the
Greek town that the Italian censors
have permitted to pass.
