MADE BIG PROFITS
Chicago Daily News Says British
 Textile Firms Have Protitel Ky
 Price Tumbles.

Chicago March ii up}--Tha Daily News says today that British textile industries have rcaped . harvest Of profits, estimated by Aaron Sapiro, goenral counsel for some ot the principal Cooperative Marketing as sociatioNs Of the country. at more than s50, ,00n, ,o00 The profits the News says, are q result of the recent price tumble in the American cot ton market due to overproduction.
 When American cotton growers jumped their product on the market and the price tumhled, the British interests quietly bought in on an rn- preccdented scale. The buyers had watched the market closely and war fly prepared for the crash. when their nndercoVer operations enabled them 10 absorb a large part of the surplus at q low price.
 Estimates of the amount of cot ton bought by England vary, but the News says it is known that the to- fal reaches several million bales. which the paper claims is sufficient to meet the needs of the British spnners and weavers for this year as well as part Of 1928.
 The News points out that the British coup is regarded by those familiar with the market as due to the influence of John Maynard Keynes economist wI,o , .,u- ,-a,rs ago criticized the spinnors for what he termed many of their bad" practices.

 Indications point to q similar tax rate for 1927 as was in effect for 1928 with possible slight increase, Included in the increase will be the town nurse appropriation which will have 10 be met this year as well as BecklAy crossing work which has cost the town considerable money for its share of the appropriation granted to the state highway com mission for the work.
 Announcement of the hearing for tho setting of the new rate will be made in the near future. according to Town Clerk Arthur l.. Woodruff, At last years town meeting the mo- ton was passed to set the tax rate at blank mills to be apportioned by tho finance board.

Lynn f. Reynolds, 80, director Of
Hoot Gibson pictures, was in a criti-

wound, and his second wife and

police for questioning.
The shooting followed a mysteri-

himself. A nervous breakdown, re-
sulting from strain recently when a

i TO PURGE STAGE
Such Is Suggestion Of Cardinal
Hayes, Deploring 0bscenity

New York, Feb. rs up - Patrick
Cardinal Hayes today deplored OBJ
scenity on the stage, in night clubs,
and literature and immodesty In
dress. He gave his views to Louis
Seibold of the New York Evening
Post
1t is sometimes alarming to real
lie that after all the money spent for
education to reach higher moral
standards the so-called liberal free
dom now acclaimed by many per-
sons has resulted in the lowering
of them" he said.
Vulgar plays, obscene literature
and immodesty in dress affected by
many young women are instances
that come to mind. Basically the
young men and women of today are
just as sound morally as they were a
century ago. Some of them have
been led away by appeals to vanity
to venture beyond the confines of
harmless frivolity
Their return to proper influences,
the cardinal suggested. can be ac
complished by directing the attention
of our boys and girls to the need
and helpful benefits of Christianity"
Touching Upon police censorship
OF the Broadway stage, the cardinal
declared it a sad commentary on
the intelligent civilization of our
day" that renders necessary the
threat of force to suppress immoral.
ity in any form.
While, he said, official censorship
of the stage may have become a ne
cessity, the cardinal expressed the
belief that "our moral sense, the
laws of decency and good taste"
should suffice to correct immortality
without recourse to police power.
II believe that public opinion is
the greatest corrective in civilization
when backed by a truly Christian
spirit. But public opinion is some
times slow in making itself felt and
its omission necessitates organized
effort backed by official authority"
Comparing theatrical conditions in
New York with other cities, Cardinal
Hayes suggested Broadway might

Reynolds once was director for

Although his present wife is his
second, he has been married three
times.
In 1912, when Reynolds was prcsi-
dent of the Pearse Fire Department
Supply Co., in Denver. Colo. he
eloped with Miss Louise Lawlor,
daughter of a Denver manufacturer
A year later the couple separated
and Reynolds moved to Hollywood
and became a movie extra.
Mrs. Reynolds obtained divorce
in 1914 on grounds of extreme
cruelty. In 1916 they were remar-
ried, after being brought together

Reynolds again obtained a divorce.
