King Cotton Makes Comeback
.REGAINS THRONE WHEN WAR BOOM
 JAMS UP MILLS
By NEA Service

Washington. Jan. 10 - King Cot ton is triumphant:y restored to his throne.
 Cotton spindles and looms, whir- ring at an average of 100 hours week, sing a song of welcome to the exiled Sovereign of teh South. Raw cotton prices have spiraled upward 67 per cent between November, 40. and November, Al. October mill consumption was the largest of any month on record.
 Cotton exports have been forced down to 29 per cent of their '35-'39 level, yet nobody seems to mind. Defense and war have called King Cotton to the colors and put back his tip-tilted crown.
 What does this mean to consum- CTS. girded for White Sales, or eager for bright cotton ginghams, chintzes and percales not to mention thread and overalls and panties for Mary Jane?
 The Office of Price Administra- ton, fearing that King Cotton's lCoOOl dtlOll ullBllG lllcdI SOdTlIlS prices and disastrous imitation for buyers, acted as early as last May to put on the brakes.
 COTTON PRICE CEILING
 CLAMPED ON TIGHT
 Starting with a modest top on cotton yarn prices, 1t clamped ever more inclusive price ceilings on fac tory grey goods and prints of one kind and another When war broke in earnest. It sent officials scurrying to work out an unprecedented OPA order-temporarily freezing all but retail prices of many simple finish ed cotton goods, like towels and ta- blecloths, and sheets, at levels pri- or to December 6. Consumption is relied on by the DPA to keep retail prices within reasonable bounds.
 This tendency toward price spiral ing is not caused by any over all shortage of raw cotton. It isn't even primarily due to the big jump in raw cotton prices-for apparently the initial price of the fiber is a relatively small factor in the final cost of finished cotton goods.
 The real tight spot" in the ot- ton picture is overtaXed mill ca

Allan found himself curiously uninterested in the colonel's re- ward. He went back to his bed- rom and started dressing.
 So Sun Su had sized up Escobar correctly, he reflected. Moreover, the shrewd Chinamans comment and the remarks Allan had just overheard matched perfectly with the incident of the friend" who had hurled the epithet "Traitorl' at the colonel of rurales. No req sonable doubt of his perfidy could remain.
 Seemed like such a decent fell low, too" summed up the Amer ican half regretfully. "As he said himself, you can't believe in any body any more, or figure what they may be up tol"

 He began to formulate several plans of campaign. His first care would be to check up on the fish ing company, working always cautiously if only from respect for what had happened to Harry Bishop. Had Harry got the goods on them somehow and paid the penalty with his reason2
 There were various promising angles of approach n and easily the most appealing was the allur- ing Asia! He might get some hint from her of what was afoot If he played the game carefully. At least it would be no hardship to ] have 8 mild filtration with the lady in the hope of sneaking a fast one through her defenses,
 Presently he heard the sound of a measured step and the ring of spurs from the patio, upon which the window of his room opened Came the scraping of chairs, fol- lowed by the murmur of two voices, mans and woman'S Allan listened. He could not make out any words, but he was sure he knew those voices,
 He stole to his window and look ed cautiously through crack in its shutter. Yes! Asia and Colonel Els. cobar, nose to nose at small table some twenty yards distant. They were talking earnestly, and Allan would have given much to know the subject of conversation. He saw Els. cobar take 8 long white envelope backed with sealing wax, from the breast pocket of his tunic and Slir 1t across the table to Asia; and hC saw the young woman put it care. fully in her handbag and close tht catch securely.
 He did a quick problem in an gles and distances, If he wasn' mistaken, the bathroom down tht hal might easily be within ear shot of the couple. Worth trying anyhowl
 He sped down the deserted hall his bare feet Soundless on tht red-tile flooring. Into the bath room - lock the door - across thu room to the window! It was al a matter of seconds. Then ht was listening - hardl Escobar wa! speaking, his voice light but witt an undertone of seriousness.
