Henry ID. Hatfield OF West Virginia,
John Thomas Of Idaho and Fred
eric G. Walcott OF Connecticut.
The world cotton crop IN 1923
was 23.000.0 900 bales and the world
consumption Of cotton for the
same year up to August, 1929, was
rs. 000,0 900 bales, showing that the
consumption Of cotton was running
far ahead of cotton production.
The cotton market during the period
November 9 to ID was quite active.
Foreign and domestic demand was
said TO have been fair to good.
Yet. on Mover Der ~ prices
reached the lowest level touched 50
far this season when the average
price OF middling at 10 important
markets stood at 1913 cents a
pound.
The farm board already has said
that cotton prices are too low for
economic justification.
The committee will begin sessions
December IL and has been in
structed 70 report its findings to
the senate by December 20.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1929-12-15

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Two bad
market breaks in little more than
a year. low prices despite normal
production and good consumer de-
mand and charges OF price man
ipulation," are woven into the SEN
ate's investigation Of the cotton
situation.
The latter charge repeatedly has
been made by Senator j. Thomas
Helm Of Alabama, author Of the
resolution under which the investi-
cation Is being made.
He says there is complaint that
the price Of cotton is being de-
pressed and fixed by purely specu-
lative forces and that cotton Is not
only selling at Improbable prices
but below the cost Of production.
The senator's resolution, however.
recites the claim OF cotton ex-
changes that prices cannot and are
not manipulated or controlled BY
influences other than those natural
influences produced by the law OF
supply and demand.
Senator John G. Townsend Of
Delaware, chairman Of the subcom-
mittee conducting the study, ex-
poets to subpoena persons. books
and papers" from the New York.
New Orleans and Chicago cotton
exchanges. As the committee goes
into the question OF production and
marketing it may invite Carl VIII
liamS. member representing cotton
on the federal farm board, and
Nils A. Olsen. chief OF the bureau
Of agricultural economies, TO ex-
press their views.
Like Senator Heflin, two other
members Of the committee long
have urged an investigation OF the
cotton market. They are Senator'S
Ellison d. Smith Of South Carolina
and Joseph K. Ransdell Of Louisi-
ana. The latter is a planter.
Remaining members are Senators

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
(By S. w. Straus)

This is the summer vacation period
and, therefore, proper time for all
of us to do some thinking on the fact
that thrift in health matters is more
important than thrift in money mat
ters.
1t has only been within recent years
that the public generally has begun
to understand that thrift means much
more than saving money. But if it
is thrifty to save money, is it not
more thrifty to conserve a possession
that is beyond price and value, name
ly, good health?
A few days ago there was completed
a remarkable survey of health condi-
tions in the City of New York. The
health facts discovered there may,
with more or less accuracy, be record
ed as typical of the entire country
and are, therefore, of general public
value. Here are some of the facts
regarding health conditions in the
nations largest city: From 125, 900
to 100000 persons are continually
sick in bed and from 100000 to 100000
more are constantly ill; of the 10000
deaths per year, a very large percent
age are from sickness that might
have been prevented or postponed; the
total annual outlay for the care of
disease is $15O,0OO,O0O; the annual loss
in wages due to illness is $75,OOO,OOO;
amount spent annually in the preven-
ton of ill-health, $S,500,000.
We hear much about losses in
Cured by the public through fraud
ulent or unsound investments. Need
less and preventable loses of time
and money through ill-health consti-
tute an even heavier economic drain
on the country.
Health thrift is more important
than money thrift because without
money we can still work and win, but
without health we are helpless and
advancement is practically impossible.
Fortunately, more thought constant
ly is being given to thrift of health
1t was recently announced that the
Rockefeller Foundation last year
spent more than $21,OOO,00O in prac-
tical and experimental medical work
while within recent years it has spent
$144 100000 for the same noble pur-
pose.
Vacations are taken for the purpose
