Russia to Take Much
Cotton From America
$4,000 Bales Will Constitute Largest
Item in Soviet Import Program.

A Berlin cable to the Philadelphia
Public Ledger says the Russian gov
eminent is to import $4,000 bales of
American cotton in the current opera
tive year, commencing October /. The
reduction from the previous years
program-40 100000 bales, which, how
ever was not completely realized-is
due to increased production Of domes-
tic cotton, which soviet crop reports
estimate at 100000 bales, or double
the 1923 harvest
American cotton, which soviet ex-
perts figure will cost l00,00000O ru-
bles, delivered in Russia, still consti-
tutes, however, by far the biggest
item in the soviet import program,
representing 20 per cent OF the total
imports.
Another large sum of $200,000000
which the soviet plan to spend abroad
this year will be invested in American
agricultural machinery, tractors, type
writers and other American special
ties.

HINTS ON SPOTTING
THE SPOTS ON SUN
THERE IS DANGER IN LOOK
ING AT ORB OF DAY THRU
EVEN SMALL TELESCOPE.

Sunspots are now increasing III num-
Der and size, and there is a possible
danger of some people injuring their
sight BY trying to find the larger spots
without proper protection tor their
eyes.
That the danger OF gazing directly
at the sun is very real is shown by
the fact that even skilled observers
have lost the sight OF an eye through
neglect of adequate safeguards. Their
telescopes, apparently, were not htteed
with sun-glasses which were deeply
enough shaded, with the result that
the fierce rays of. the sun reached the
eye.
Who was the first to discover sun
spots? The point is not satisfactorily
settled. 1t seems certain, however,
that in the two or three years after
telescopes came into use, in 1910, the
spots were observed independently by
Calico, Fabricius, Scheiner and Har-
riot
Their observations were hampered
bv the failure to use shaded glasses,
and we find Harriet, for instance,
writing on one occasion: Notable
mist; thick ayre and thin clouds
through thin clouds, thin mist and
thin clouds-my sight was after dim
for an hour"
He was lucky to escape so easily.
Another of these early observers OF
sun spots took the precaution OF wait
ing until the sun was near the hor1-
zon.
However, it will be possible to see
the spotted disc of the sun during the
present period without running the
slightest risk. 1t will not be necessary
to look through a telescope or an
opera glass or even a bit OF smoked
or colored glass; but, of course, di-
rect gazing at the sun is out OF the
question altogether.
Instead, you gaze at the sun indl-
rectly-at its image thrown on to
white screen. If you do not possess
a telescope you may know someone
who does. Be it ever so small an IN
strument when the larger end OF the
glass is pointed at the sun the image
cast on the screen or sheet shows with
wonderful distinctness even insignltl-
cant spots on the disc, says Answers
Iondon.)
Certainly it is interesting for an
audience" of this kind to learn that
the dark object they see on the screen
is a whirlpool of heated gases many
thousands of miles in breadth, and
that it is powerful enough to affect
the earth's magnetism, though nine
ty-three million miles away

GOVERNMENT is ON
TRAIL OF CHEATERS
BUREAU OF STANDARDS WILL
PROSECUTE THOSE USING
FALSE MEASURES.

The problem OF false weights and
measures, which inhicts a heavy tax
upon the ultimate consumer, has been
taken up in earnest by the United
States government.
In this matter the government is
acting through the bureau of stand
ards. which is the official custodian OF
all standard measures and weights, to
which those used in all states of the
union must under the law accurately
correspond.
Cheating in Cloth.
Those tacks on the store counter
where dress materials and other goods
are measured are supposed to be SO
inches apart, but too often they are
but 80 inches apart. So the housewife
is cheated of three inches of material
in every supposed yard she buys.
The public, generally speaking, en-
tertains confidence in measures and
weights that is amazing. Very often II
the housewife would weigh the wrapp-
ed pound of butter she bought she
would find it tipped the scales at only
IA ounces.
Not only faith but ignorance helps
such cheats. 1t is doubtful if there is
one housewife in a thousand who
knows there are two kinds OF quarts
the dry quart and the liquid quart.
Measures Differ.
The lawful quart for liquid measure
is 5734 cubic inches; the quart tor
measuring dry commodities is 62 Is
cubic inches. If, as commonly hap
pens, the dealer sells beans or cram
berries by liquid measure the house
wife is cheated.
Very seldom indeed does the mark
eter object when the dealer weighs IN
the wooden dish with the pound OF
lard she buys. Quite often, too, the
wooden dish has been soaked all night
in water-nominally in order that the
lard may not stick to it-and she pays
also for the water it has absorbed.
The household is a large consumer
of cotton which the housewife buys
in various forms. Perhaps she buys
couple of sheets which are supposed
to be two and half yards long. If
she measures them she is likely to ind
that they are three or four inches
short of that length. With pillow slips
it is the same way.
Even the thread on spool OF cot
ton is often not more than three
fourths OF its supposed length, And
how often it happens tina, man hnds
the tail of the shirt he has bought too
short to tuck in comfortably.
Baskets with false bottoms and 9th
ers of shape and size intended to be
deceiving too often are usd by buck
sters and storekeepers. Bottles and
boxes quite frequently also are used
in this method of cheating.
