Cotton a Problem
With the AAA under fire from so
many quarters. King Cotton remains
one of the most important world prob
lens, threatening to save or wreck the
administrations plans to lift the farm
er up to that parity of purchasing
power which President Roosevelt is so
fond of discussing.
Most southern, statesmen wave
aside so-caIled threats to American
supremacy in cotton. They contend
that nowhere else In the world can
cotton be produced successfully to
compete with the United States.
Either the cost Is too high per pound.
or the qtiality Is too low. they insist.
The threat involved In Brazilian ex-
panslon in cotton growing has been
discussed at length in these dispatches.
including the confidential view of the
present Brazilian administration
which is that the United States efforts
to hold the price of cotton up Will
crash. as did their own with respect
to coffee. and therefore they are not
too optimistic But they hasten on TO
add that they can produce good cot
ton Mt a profit Mt cents pound.
This season the United States ex-
ported to Great Britain 563,000 bales.
as against 100000 last season, and
1,0f5.000 the season before.
This Is partly explained by two
things Japan has finally passed
Great Britain as producer of cotton
textiles. and so has become the chief
consumer of the raw staple.
But the disturbing fact about the
two previous paragraphs is that the
United States exported to the entire
Orient this season 1.34S.0O0 bales, as
against l,6Sa00O last season and $685.
600 the season before.
In fact. the total exports Of cotton
this season from the United States
were 3,5G50OO bales. as against 6.03a.-
600 bales fast season. and 6,046,000
bales the previous season.

IDENTIFIED AS
DAIRY R0bbER
State Expects to Conclude
Police Murder Case
Late Today.

Willie Mason, on trial in connec-
ton with the machine gun Staying
of Police Sergeant Lester Jones, to-
day was identified as one of the
bandits who staged a holdup Of the
Capitol Diaries the day before the
police officer was slain.
Testifying in Criminal Court, two
employees Of the company pointed
out Mason as one Of the bandits. He
and Edward CFoggy) Dean face a
charge Of committing physical in
jury during robbery.
Miss Louise ObeIting, pretty
switchboard operator at the dairy,
and Floyd Sachs, credit manager,
recalled Mason as one of the
bandits who staged the raid Feb. 6,
1893.
May Rest Case Today
Prosecutors said they expect to
rest the case late today. If Richard
Keller, alleged Cincinnati slayer, and
pal Of Mason, is not brought here
from st. Paul by this afternoon the
state will conclude its case without
his testimony.
There were reports that he had
confessed Dean told him of par
ticipatlon in the Peoples Motor
Coach Co. robbery in which Sergt.
Jones was slain, but these reports
have been denied officially.
That Mason lived up to his repu-
tation as a toughy was related to
the jury today by william Conklin,
former Kentucky probation officer.
He said he had been threatened
with death by Mason in 1888, while
authorities sought the suspect.
Mr.. Conklin testified that ne and
another probation officer went to
the home of Ed Miller in Louisville
and that Mason and George
Schwartz, now serving a life term,
put guns on them and threatened
their lives
Reach for Ceiling"
"'Reach for the ceiling, big boy,
or III turn on the heat" Mr.. Conk-
lin said he was threatened by
oCIlWdIlh.
Mason held a machine gun on
him and echoed the threat, the
former officer said.
What happened to the machine

Il don't know. All I wanted was

Two state witnesses yesterday
identified Dean as one of five armed
thugs who participated in the $4,000
Polk Milk Co. stickup Jan. 4, 1888.
Bruce Parcels, Polk distribution
manager, leaned forward in the
witness chair and said, That man

counsel, asked, Weren't you badly

Correct Care
For Hair
By DONNA GRACE

Careful attention and proper
treatment will assure healthy
and luxurious growth of hair. The
hair is naturally strong and is
made up of the same fibrous sub
stance as the nails-and like the
nails it is natures armour for the
protection Of vital or delicate
parts.
The sturdy structure Of the hair
gives it a resistance to withstand
a great deal Of abuse and harsh
treatment, and because Of this we
may feel that it will endure and
survive neglect and improper
grooming.
Hair of primitive races was OF
this almost indestructible quality,
but as civilization changes, the
body structure becomes more re-
fined and less brawny.
We know that the hair growth
is affected by foods and careful
treatment. We cannot neglect
these treatments any more than
we would neglect our teeth II we
expect to look well and keep the
hair attractive and healthy.
Falling hair is really a serious
hair trouble and should be cor
rected at once before it results
in the complete loss Of the hair.
Badness in many cases may be
cured, especially If the scalp is
given scientific and conscientious
care when the first signs Of hair
weakness apepars.
There are good routine treat
ments that are very satisfactory
and easy to do at home, and as
they are inexpensive. there is no
reason why they should not be
given a good trial.
My Treatment for Falling Hair
has been used successfully by so
many we would like you to have
it, if your hair is showing any
signs of weakness or disorder.
There is no charge for it, but

ahead OF you, take heed to this
Black is most important for
both daytime and evening in
most of the collections, and
usually has some contrasting
color for trimming or accessories.
Sometimes it is a white touch
at the neck, more frequently
a brilliant color such as sap.
phire blue, cardinal or green.
Reds of all hues are important
as accessories with black dress,
and are most effective when &C.
cessorie', nail polish and lip
stick all carry out the same vivid
color. Besides cardinal, the
popular reds for nail polish, lip
stick and accessories include
delicate coral, mauve and the
deeper ruby.
Purplish Blues.
Ranking next to black in the
leading houses are the whole
range of blues, from sapphire,
which is most popular, to a sort
of slate. Purple blues and very
dull blues are smarteSt, and are
often shown with accents Of
chalk or turquoise. Generally
speaking, the darker blues are
most important and are newest
looking when they have a purple
tinge. True purple, however, is
not being shown at all.
Other colors which look i'm
portant for spring include moss
and deep bottle greens. Vel
low greens and mustard are
very new, the latter duller and
greener variety than the Amer
ican mustard. Deep reds and
dusty greens are shown a great
deal for evening, with brilliant
rooster red a favorite for very
young girls. Other good reds for
evening are Bordeaux, fuchsia
and a new color called dregs of
wine. This color is combined
with mauve in some Of the best
looking dresses.
Black for Evening
Black not only leads in silks
and light wooden dresses, but for
the first time is being used ex-
tensively for tweeds. It is shown
with accessories of all the inter-
eSting eff shades, such as why
reds, purple blues, dusty pinkS
and rose.
other important colors for
tweed sports ensembles include a
wide range of dark reds such as
Burgundy and Bordeaux, prunes
and other purple blues and a
new shade known as eggplant.
A darker than navy blue tweed
suit with scarlet trimming and
accessories is a fashion favorite.

For Mature Women

Some women keep their youth
Indefinitely ever lose their
freshness and charm. Why is
this? Have they some precious
secret other women don't know?
Common sense tells you they
haven't. Then why is it their
faces have such smiling freshness,
with few wrinkles. no hard lines
no appearance of strain? What
is the secret Of that air OF polSe,
of relaxation that surrounds
them? All, perhaps that's the
answer-they know how to relax.
They've found easy, pleasant
ways of avoiding nervous tension,
such as dancing walking :.
gardening. Any active recreation
that's fun to do helps to relieve
strain. See for yourself If it
doesn't. Try to relax during your
household tasks. Difficult? Yes
but surely you can slow up long
enough to have a cup OF tea IN
the afternoon.
Relaxing Exercises
Then there are quick ways OF
relaxing when you're overtired
and nervous. Here's one. Drop
your head Imply forward. Let 1T
roll slowly around on your shoul-
ders. Doing this several times,
first in one direction, then in the
other, relieves tension at back OF
the neck. Try this one, too: Bend
loosely from the waist, like a rag
doll, with arms dangling. Pretend
you have weights in tips of your
fingers. Then swing arms from
shoulders across the body (see fig
Are in lower right of Sketch).
