 Dramatic interest Is centcred on tho effects of liquor on a wide vu- rioty of people, starting with the disintegration of a cultured and arlstocratic family of the pre-war south which results in tho suicide of Louis Stone, and continuing with tho period of tho old corner saloon days of New York where the romance between Dorothy Jordan and Robert Young Is intro- duced.
 Tho plot has any number of smash dramatic scenes which give the various players ample oppor- tunlty for effective portrayals. Tho Walter Huston is placed on trial for the murder of his wife, Is one Of tho most gripping and stirring tho Ecreen. Likewise the pathetic scene in which Neil Hamilton faces tho loss of his eyesight which means the end of his brilliant career as n playwright.

The italian chemical industry, now

The big chemical concerns which
provide domestic necessities are all
working, though, of course, production
is not increasing as rapidly as it prom

present conditions by Prince Cont. "On

COTTON PRICES OFF

Continuation of Dry, Hot Spell
During Most of Week De-

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July ia continua-
tion of dry, hot weather, believed to be
favorable for control of boil weevil ac-
tivities in the South, has promoted re-
dictionary tendencies in the cotton mar
ket during the past week.
Evidently the technical position had
eased on the recent advance OF about
a cent pound from the low records of
early last June and there has been
considerable liquidation on the expec-
tation of improving crop accounts so
far as weevil activities are concerned.
This has been supplemented by lit
tie Southern selling, but no general
pressure of consequence mas developed
from that quarter, while there has been
considerable trade buying on the
declines
October contracts, which had sold up
to 6.22 on the advance of the previous
week, broke to $50 during Wednesdays S
early trading, after which fluctuations
became irregular. Rather quick rally
was followed by renewed weakness
Thursday. but the market steadied up
again during yesterdays trading with
business quiet and covering promoted
by reports of continued small offerings.
While the dry, hot weather has been
considered favorable and has been fol-
lowed by reports of decreased weevil
damage in some Eastern belt sections,
reports Of some damage TO the plant
through shedding or whiting were
reaching here toward the end of the
week, and probably contributed to the
rally during Fridays trading.
General business has been restricted,
suggesting a disposition to await fur
ther developments ei h in the crop
outlook or in the general trade stu

NEW YORK, July 16.-To an
engineer, presumably, nothing could be
quite so obvious as the necessity of
being on the right track.
But Herbert Wachsmann, a young
American industrial engineer, during
five years of service in installing in
dustrial efficiency systems in Europe,
eventually came to the conclusion that
not only he, but most OF his conferees,
have been unwittingly switched off the
main line of progress.
He returned to the United States, and
has recently been devoting his energies
to trying to convince business and
financial leaders that the great engine
of industrial research and development
has been steaming steadily down the
wrong track, disregarding the danger
signals of increasing unemployment and
shrinking profits.
Industry on Track.
And the result is. says Wachsmann,
serious young man just 10 years out
of technical college, that industry now
finds itself of the track, and in deep
ditch Of depression. The problem Is
to get it back on the track, the right
track, and quickly.
What the country needs" he said
IN an interview. lis new industry to
make new things, to employ additional
labor, and to create additional consum-
ing and purchasing power. Our re-
search has been concentrated on the
improvement Of existing things, and the
increased efficiency of their manu-
facture. We have been preoccupied
with making the same things, better,
but with increasingly fewer workers. so
that ability to earn, to use and con-
sumo, has fallen far below our power
to produce"
1t was while in Germany in 1890, be-
fore the depression had become severe
in the United States, that Wachsmann
concluded from the distress he saw
there that the emphasis was in the
