SHIPS ARE NEEDED
IN COTTON TRADE
Shipping Board Acting to Re.
Iieve Situation Caused by
British Coal Strike.
BY j. c. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

opcCidl DlSpatCn TO Inc SIdf.
NEW YORK. October 25.-The
Shipping Board has promised to send
seven ships to the Gulf ports within
the next 10 days to relieve in part
the congestion of cotton and grain for
Europe which has piled up. Full re-
lief is not promised until some time
in November, when additional ships,
now undergoing repairs, will be avail
able. Fifty ships are promised before
the cotton movement reaches it's peak.
This scarcity of shipping is partly
responsible for the recent rise in
wheat prices which has taken place
in Liverpool Great Britain is un-
able to move wheat effectively in her
own vessels owing to the coal strike,
which has left merchantmen with
empty bunkers. Montreal is chock-
ablock with grain, which is piling up
faster than it can be moved.
Many Vessels Laid Up.
In the meantime the Shipping
Board has a large number of vessels
laid up and unable to take advantage
OF this situation. Yet the board is
holding meetings at Charleston and
other Southern ports to inquire why
American shippers are not using Ship
ping Board vessels
filF lHlllS WnlCn aITectS the speedy
movement Of cotton is of the utmost
Importance right now, for the drop in
value of that staple has not only cut
or profits from the South but cut off
Southern trade from the remainder of
or the country. Great Britain is
showing no hesitancy about buying
cotton, although her mills are closed
or slowed down owing to the coal
strike.
Cotton experts say this attitude is
based on belief in the growing demand
for manufactured goods throughout
the world. They say this same de-
mand is the brightest spot in the cot
ton outlook.
Although the decline has euualed
33 q per cent since August, according
to Henry G. Hester, secretary of the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange. the
semi-panic in. cotton was without
rhyme or reason.
The supply is large" he said. "It
promises to be the greatest cotton
crop ever grown. 1t comes on the
heels of liberal carry-over but the
supply is not unwieldly, and it is
needed to meet the growing demand
for manufactured goods the world

Dr.. Samuel johnson
100 -t764

IF Samuel johnson had
1 lived a thousand years
he never would have amassed
fortune. For months at
time his pen remained idle.
Macaulay said that the total
amount of his writings for
the period between 1865 and
ITS would scarcely have
taken him a week at the
speed of which he was
capable.
When necessity knocked
he could write speedily.
Witness "Rasselas, Prince of
Abyssinia,' a weighty tome
which he produced in a week
to defray the expenses of his
mothers funeral. Yet the
Incidence of the man kept
him in poverty practically all
of his life.
Today, as in Johnson
time, financial success comes
not from Incidence but from
persevering work and the in
telligent investment of the
fruits of the toll.
To invest the earnings of
your hard work in our
o1a Go First Mortgages in
sures your future against
want and poverty and will
allow you to spend your
waning years in peace and
comfort.

sumption, of course, but it arises from the fact
that the average human being, dragooned into a
respect for the mysteries of women's dress
cannot conceive of anyone, who does not give
rap for it. anything but immoral. Artists are
not less moral than other men, but have, on the
contrary, gained a certain measure of freedom
from that incubus of mystery which makes for,
as nature intended it to make for, the excta-
tion of desire. And the average human mind re-
sents the acquisition of this freedom.
"a hundred years ago the swomanly woman
had perhaps reached her most womanly' ex-
preston. The women Of Jane Austens day were
almost completely preoccuped with questions of
sex. They had 1t for their every thought. They
sewed little, cooked and played the harps-
chord, but when they did these things, it was al
ways with some very gallant gentleman In view
And as to the very gallant gentlemen they were
so gallant that chance view of my lady's ankle
was sufficient to put them into a cold sweat.
II begin to see this younger generation today
as some holy thing With unerring, if uncon-
scious wisdom the modern woman Is doing the
first things first she is getting rid of the mystery
Of the flesh. And the who twenty years
ago was fired by the suggestion Of mystery Of the
clothed form finds himself unmoved in the pres
ence of so much nakedness. because it is I'M
ashamed.
'aThe lack of morality is not in the nakedness
but in the shame, and the shame grows less day
by day The question Of Sex is really occupying
thought far less today than at any time in his
tory. And so when prince of the church de
cIares, as he did recently that he is shocked at
the unparalleled depravity of woman's dress
and declares that he is at loss to explain the
universal decadence which has swept the world,
the woman of today Is apt to answer him short
~ enough.
mo transitional period is desirable for It's own
sake, and as far as the relation Of the sexes is
concerned, we are passing through period of
transition period in which license is, Oft
en- than not mistaken for liberty, and old-time
ideas vanish in peal Of laughter. And the
laughter is the most wholesome thing about it..
The surest way for the world to rid Itself of the
hocus-pocus of sex Is to laugh at it,
lady with lamp shall stand
In the great history Of the land
Well the lady has come, and she is standing.
And her skirts are short, and her are bare.
AS to her back, cannot see it. for her face is
towards me- but on her face, upturned to the
light Of her lamp, Is shining the glory Of new
era"

and between the two of us we got the halffaint-
ing girl into taxi. BY the time I had deposited
her at Queen Anne's mansions where she was
staying with her father and mother she had
tearfully explained to me that they had just ar
rived from New York, that every woman in New

about the lawns were girls, not in gowns with
transparent sleeves, but In gowns with no sleeves
at all; in gowns that did not come one inch be-
low the knee; in gowns devoid of necks and only
very transparency supplied with backs.
Ten years before, lone girl clad after a
fashion, which now would be regarded as almost
Quakerish in Its modesty, had created something
bordering panic in this place women open
ly dubbed her hussy; men and boys openly
followed her, and passers-by had wondered what
the world was coming to.
"And this was what the world was coming to-
bare arms, bare knees, bare necks, and yes bare
backs, too And yet / could not help but note
how unconcerned everybody seemed about 1t.
II seemed to me that the air was cleaner and
purer than 1t had been ten years before as If an
unholy pressure had been relieved and impudent
hocuspocus shorn Of its imaginary power Legs
were everywhere, arms were everywhere, and
yet the men and boys passing back and forth
were going about their daily walk and conversa-
ton just as If nothing were happening, just as If
the world around them were not coming to any

"A great artist once told me interesting
story. We were talking about women's Dress and
how entirely 1t was matter of the point of
view. He recalled one day when he was a young
art student that curious thing happened at the
life class he was attending. The model was
young girl of refinement and beauty of form, and
the class was drawing her undraped figure. She
was good model, and had been sitting motion
less for half an hour, when, suddenly glancing
upwards, she saw the face OF man peerfng at
her through the window of the skylight. She had
been posing for half an hour before class of
fifty men, yet when she saw this face at the sky
light, with an outraged cry, She threw wrapper
around her shoulders, jumped from the plat
form. and withdrew in tears to her dressing
room.
Nov the artist has always been regarded as
necessarily man Of looser morals than the man
who follows other calIings. 1t is an absurd as
