CHAPTER XLVII.
BY FRANK G.. CARPENTER.

BY FRANK G. CARPENTER.
AM spending a day or so in New
York to get myself out of the
ruts of Washington do-less-ness
Il and to find out what the people
are talking about. Washington
City is the poorest atmosphere in the
United States from which to Judge
the people Of the country. Its citizens
have different objects in life than
those of other cities, and its every
attribute Is enervating and artificial.
Here in New York everything throbs
with the chase for the almighty dol
lar; you catch the spirit of intense
energy which pervades every part
Of the metropolis.
In Washington pleasure takes the
place of work: all your surroundings
tend to deaden rather than quicken
you into activity. Here on Broadway
a street car will not stop for you If
it is half block away. You must
wait for the next car In Washing
ton people stop the cars by waving
their hands when they are three
blocks of and then walk leisurely to
them while the drivers wait patiently
have seen herdics and cars stop
two minutes or more for passengers,
and no one pretends to hurry to
reach them. In New York if an 30
cent legal tender dollar OF our dad
dies was rolled along the sidewalk
every one on the street would make
rush for it. In Washington it would
be watched with interest, the people
would wonder why it was rolling and
where, it came from before they would
make any effort to get it.
In New York the chief talk is of
money. In Washington gossip and
great men are the leading subjects.
In New York fall in stocks sets all
tongues to buzzing. In Washington
if a chief of a bureau loses his
head the same result is accom-
plished. New York is a city of things
as we'll as of money; Washington is
city of persons. A lady said to
me today: In New York you can
see anything you want to see, while
in Washington you can see any great
man you want TO see" She was
right
Still on the whole Washington is
the pleasanter place to live and, with
all OF its great men, there is more
Of chance for a nobody to become
somebody than in the great whirlpool
Of New York, which Seethes and boils,
which keeps the poor and moderately
well to do at the bottom, and which
allows to be seen on the surface only
those who are worth their millions
or have made themselves famous.
William Dean Howells.
William Dean Howells, the greatest
Of American novelists, is spending a
month or two. in Washington. I called
| upon him yesterday and had a chat
with him about his work. I found
him different in appearance from the
impression conveyed by his pictures.
He is short and stout and his every
feature is that of a college-br
business man, rather than that Of the
cranky conventional author. He is

duction in the last IL months. Peru'S
depressed agricultural situation has
been materially improved because Of
increased production and higher
prices for her cotton, which has
found a ready market in Japan and
England.
Cotton textile and cotton products
manufacturing, heretofore negligible
industry in Argentina, are now being
rapidly expanded.
The ramificationS into which this
cotton question leads are amazing.
The boycott of German products and
the falling of of German trade with
the United States is proving a BOOM
erang to the cotton growers of the
South. Whereas Germany formerly
purchased 1900 900 bales of United
States cotton year, she is now turn
ing to other markets, particularly
South America. She has already made
barter arrangements with Brazil, Ar
gentina and Peru. by which they will
exchange cotton for German manu-
featuring.
Evening star., 1935-03-24
British Principal Buyers.


OF course, the principal buyers Of
Brazilian cotton are the British, who
for years have been the largest buyers
Of our own. British expert advisers
are helping the Brazilian growers to
improve the grade and staple of their
product. Looms in many Lancashire
mills are being altered to accom-
modate the Brazilian fiber.
We have been arguing with the
Brazilians that since Great Britain
buys very little Of their coffee, while
we buy at least three-fourths Of il.
they ought to increase their purchases
of manufactures from us. By utilizing
more and more Brazilian cotton. our
British competitors are now able to
make the same request.
Herein lies the answer to the argu-
ment that Brazilian cotton can never
replace United States cotton in the
British markets. 1t must be remem-
bered that Great Britain is manu-
featuring nation and a competitor of
the United States. She has to sell or
dispose of enormous quantities of
manufacturers abroad or 60 bankrupt.
Therefore, if she is given the choice Of
swapping more finished goods to Brazil
for a raw commodity which she needs,
or of buying that commodity outright
at higher cost In the United States,
there cannot be much question about
what she is going to do.
Besides, the advantages of a fur
ther increase of cotton production
are in Brazls favor. She still has
limitless acres of cheap virgin land.
State and federal taxes are low. While
her present supply Of cheap native
labor is by no means exhausted, she
offers a haven to the unemployed of
the crowded countries of the Old
World. Although two years of po-
litical uncertainty and the crisis in
the coffee industry served to shut
of immigration, the doors are again
swinging ajar; groups from Germany,
Italy, Poland and the Balkans are
coming to colonize and start life over
again in q new land. Even Japan
has taken out several concessions and
begun the cultivation of cotton in
former waste places.
Increasing demands for cotton and
agricultural products call for more
laborers, and more laborers mean an
increasing market for manufacturers.
Thus it is easily seen that our
diminished and diminishing trade
with the important countries Of South
America is due in no small degree
to policies and practices of our own.
And, although 1t may have been in
tended, and even expected, that these
measures would benefit the American
people, in many cases both the direct
and indirect result have proven 9TH

MUCH INTEREST SHOWN
I'M HOBBY CONTEST

During book week last fall the county
library started hobby contest among
children. The plan was to choose
hobby, work on it during the winter
and by the first of March write letter
about it, The Eureka grade school under
MIR. Earl Price entered the city schools
division and produced some remarkable
results. A large number of the children
worked on their hobbies and wrote
interesting letters. The girl winning
first was Trula Swinehart whose lace
collection is very attractive. Jack Hen
rlingsen, writing about his stamp col
lection, won first among the boys Viola
McCully,. Dorothy Teel, Forest Knott,
and Albin Bryan won honorable men
ton.
Other interesting hobbies included
Pictures of nature ships and western
life, samples, snapshots, marbles, movie
stars, writing poems, brands of different
ranches of Montana, original drawings,
writing and illustrating short stories,
old coins, foreign coins, embroidery
patterns, and paper dolls. The children
were very enthusiastic and spent much
time building their hobbies
In the rural division, George Pom
eroy of Fortine won first place. George
does carving and plans to practice a
great deal in that line
Hobby work is being stressed in both
adult and juvenile education and such
contests create interest in the idea and
fine results are often obtained.
