added:
Had Final Decision.
Everything that was done in con-
necuon with the work was fully dis.

mine and the responsibility was mine"
Admiral Brumby's testimony was in

Admiral Brumby's presence result
ed from an extension by Secretary
of the Navy Wilbur OF the scope of
the courts investigation which orig

The court yesterday heard at con-
siderable length the views Of observ-
ers whom il placed aboard the naval
destroyer Monaghan and the subma-
rine So. sister ship OF the shat.

count upon the other ship seeing her,
he said.
Other observers agreed that the S-4
should have sighted the approaching
paulding at approximately 5000 yards
from where the two met.
Those who were on the Monaghan
said they found the S-+'s feather. or

that had the sea been rough and me

Cotton Demand Increase

Fine cotton has returned to favor as a fashionable
fabric this summer according to the Cotton Textile
Bulletin. published BY the association Of cotton textile
merchants Of New York. The Bulletin takes a very OPP
timistic view OF the situation. predicting a tremendous
increase in the cotton demand and a corresponding in
crease in the price for raw material.
ITO those whose interests are centered on goods that
are subject TO the fluctuations Of style demand the
Bulletin says. 1T has been most encouraging 10 note
the new response 10 summer cotb5n fabrics.
THE attention which fine cotton has received IN
some Of the more important style centers has been re-
sponsible for much Of the present popularity. They
have been featured as the smart fabrics in q number Of
exclusive shops that make a special effort 70 be in the
van IN style leadership. Fashion magazines have cited
the vogue with unusual enthusiasm
Several factors have contributed 20 the new interest
in cotton. For one thing" the Bulletin says, 1T is
probably true that the greater emphasis which has been
given to fine styling and design has been a helpful
factor. The increasing popularity Of outdoor sports
and summer recreation has been another tendency in
favor OF fine cottons. because women have found that
many Of these fabrics were made for just such pur-
poses. They know that fine eottons are particularly
adapted for summer apparel because Of their comfort
Fashions DEGREES are among the most important fac
tors In connection with the demand for the staple.
During the year Of heaviest production, 1926. fashion
emphasized silks. with the result that cotton consump-
and textile manufacturers was heavy. However. with
the whimsical dame again regarding cotton with an
affeetionate regard. il is Probable the demand for the
staple will show q decided increase and a corresponding
profit for the Southern growers.

In 1876 Glover became affiliated with a real estate

Growth OF the Air Mail

Development Of the air mail lines in the United
States has broken all records Of transportation achieve
meEt. Larger planes. 50 that more mail and passen-
Ger may be carried. will be put into service on the
transcontinental lines, and department heads predict
that within two years virtually every section Of the
country will be reached by the new service.
The story Of air mail development reads like fic-
ton. Day and night mail pilots wing their way over
the continent. crossing fountains, deserts and plains,
maintaining schedules and service which a few years
40 would have been deemed impossible. Each day the
lines are extended. additional planes brought into the
service. and the air mail has become one of the most
dependable and efficient services Of the government.
Safety is no doubt responsible for attracting pas
senger traffic to the mail planes The old fear Of the
public Is rapidly disappearing. Competent pilots have
prived the efficiency and safety Of the service. and as
g result America is rapidly becoming "air minded" TO
a high degree.
The era Of larger planes has arrived, and the
larger planes will carry more mail and passengers, pro-
viding q de luxe service that n certain TO further Pop
ularize air transport. The larger loads also indicate
. decrease in the postage and passenger rates which
will further tend TO increase the volume.
While growth of the air mail and passenger service
the past year has been almost phenomenal, the record
Is expected to be surpassed during the coming year.
Postal department officials predict that with the es-
tablishmrnt Of additional ines practically every city
in the United States and Mexico providing suitable
airport facilities will have the air mail service. They
~ especially oVtimtstiC oNtF the AAAN y uShctoF-
ment Of a Latin American air mail system which will
extend as far south as Buenos Aires providing every
important commercial center south Of the Rio Grande
direct connections with the United States.
That Brownsville's airport is destined 70 play a
very important part in this development seems practi-
cally assured. While this city has not been designated
Is the border port for Latin American mail, the time
Is not far distant when efficiency and economy Of serv-
Ice will make the designation necessary. The low alti-
tude route, in the opinion Of aviation experts, offers
the maximum in economy and safety, and these are
factors shat will gradually overcome such opposition
as may arise in Mexican political circles.
The American postal department, realizing the adj
yantages Of the low altitude route, would have desig-
mated the Brownsville port had Il not been for the
opposition Of Mexican politicians. However, Mexico IS
not in position to meet the heavy costs the high aIti-
tude routes will incur, and in the not far distant flu
ture will be compelled, in the interest Of economy, ef-
ficieney and safety, to accept the original proposal II
the American department and route the mail b. way
Of Brownsville and Matamoros.
