Carry-Overs
OF Cotton At
Record Peak

New Orleans, La, Aug. lap
The 1898 world carry-Over of
American cotton, including linters,
was placed at the all-time high of
13,8O3,OOO bales in the annual re-
port of the New Orleans Cotton
Exchange today. The carry-Over
last year was 6,1O8,OOO bales.
Various private agencies have
estimated the carry-Over of fore
ign growers at about 100000
bales, which, combined with the
American carry-Over, gives the
world a total carry-Over of about
23,OOO,OOO bales, the largest in his
tory.
Henry Plauche, secretary of the
exchange, said that of this a.
mount, the government was hold
ing under it's loan program a total
of 6,796.78O bales. Cotton futures
prices, now between IL and nine
cents pound, are only about 80
points above the government loan
figure.
Plauche estimated consumption
of American cotton, including lin
ters, at 12,162,OOO bales, compared
with 14,426,OOO bales last year. Ex-
ports were placed. at. 5,953,872
bales, compared with 5,776,OOO

The session will consider legisla-

amount of money to be involved in

Friday would make recommendations
Last week Hoey said that probably
five to ten million would be needed

State may issue around Sc 100000 in
bonds to get its SIS percent of the total
cost if the government gives grants of

ments.

President Roosevelt appears to be

indications are that he would win

to do their choosing without much

AN UNDESIRABLE CONDITION

Many complaints have been heard of
a number Of youths, who represent them
selves as guides, collect as high as two
dollars an heur, Discriminate against
hotels and present an inadequate tour OF
the city to visitors
It is said that these young men
gather before certain popular hotels and
contact visiting automobiles, informing
them that rates are high at that hotel, that
accommodations are inadequate, and then
offer to take them to better hotel with
more reasonable prices.
1t is unethical, indeed, that such guides
berate hotels for which they are not work
ing, but that as guides, they discriminate.
against hOstelries is a condition that must
soon be remedied if Key West is to be
placed attractively before the eyes of visi-
tors.
This is but the least of very unsatis-
factory arrangement. The young guides,
irresponsible in some cases, in others show
ing no interest in comprehensively present
ing their city to visitors, often take their
charges on an inadequately conducted tour
of Key West. They show some few places
and announce that that is all there is to the
city. The usual reason for doing this, it is
understood, is when poor bargain is
struck with the tourist

Commerce will soon ask the authorities
that all guides in the city be licensed and

BEAUTY AND BIG FEET

After observing feminine puIchritude
in many parts Of the world, Dr. Earl H
Bell, anthropologist at the University of
Nebraska, comes to the not very original
conclusion that American women are the
most beautiful of all He says the great
mass of our girls, from the humblest TO
the soeialite class, are much more attrae-
tive than those of foreign countries.
DIR. Bell is impressed especially with
the way in which older American women
retain their charm in comparison with
European women. He does not rate French
women so highly, and says that while oc-
easionally one is found who is beautiful,
the majority are not.
He made one statement as result of
his investigations, however, which may not
be entirely pleasing to his country women.
and that is that they have big feet. He
says a survey made at VaSsar and other
girls colleges disclosed that the modern
girl wears shoes at least two sizes larger
than those her grandmother wore Just
how he got the data on the grandmothers
is not stated.
We can readily agree with the learned
doctors general conclusions. but we are a
bit skeptieal about those big feet Still, it
is difficult to prove that a scientist is

SPOILED SQUIRRELS

Discussing the habits of various ami
mails in preparing for winters cold, DR..
w. Reid Blair of the Bronx Geological
Park commented on the weIl-known thrift
of squirrels, which are unsurpassed for
their foresight in storing nuts and other
food
In recent years, however. he has OBJ
served that the squirrels in the park have
become imprOvident, and take little inter-
est in putting by supplies for winter. He
attributes this to the fact that the animals
have learned that they will be fed, whether
they store provisions or lot. In other
words. they have been spoiled.
A good many people have shown a
similar tendency since they have come to
look TO the government for support, in
stead of depending on their own efforts.
This does not apply to those who are
willing to work and make ar honest effort
to take care Of themselves; neither does il
apply to those unfortunates who are un-
able 10 work.

who could help themselves have become
