TEXAS COTTON CROP
POOREST IN DECADE
I" ...
Lateness of Season Boll Wee-
vil and Pink Worm Said
to be Chief Causes.
(By The Associated Press!
DALLAS Texas July 22.—Three
factors—the lateness of the season
destruction by boll weevils and the
pink boll worm—have had the effect
of making the present cotton crop in
Texas except in the lowei coast coun-
try the poorest of the last decade ac-
cording to K. F. Shropshire secretary
of the state division of the American
Cotton Association.
* While since June 1 there has beer
a marked improvement in crop con-
ditions the piesent indications are
that the season’s supply will not be
in excess of 11000000 bales” Mr. j
Shropshire said here recently.
“Natural conditions which include th«.
weather boll weevil and pink boll-
worm are largely responsible but
an acute labor shortage has played
an important part in the cotton pro-
duction.
"It is unquestioned that the world’s
stock of spinnable cotton on hand and
in the manufacturers’ and merchants’
‘-‘orks of goods on hand are far below
the average for a period of years
iioth American and foreign mills
with care exceptions are tunning full
time and front information available
now the outputs are contracted for
many months in advance. This at
profits which wiil yield dividends in
keeping with those paid by manu-
facturers for the last two or three
years and which are the highest in
the history of the cotton manufac-
turing industry.
" This will be the highest priced cot-
ton crop ever produced in the history
of the south. It will be entirely too
valuable a product to expose to the
weather as in the prffet with a loss of
millions of dollars. Warehouses with
facilities for sufficient protection
should be provided.”
He asserted that men. or a combi-
nation of men might be able by “a
chalk-mark” method to bring the price
of cotton below the cost of produc-
tion but maintained that the south
was rapidly organizing to combat this
manner of speculation at the cost of
the purchaser.
ROUGH AIR CONDITIONS
IN KOREAN FLIGHT ARE
CAUSE OF SEASICKNESS
i Ur TW Associated Press)
TOKIO July 22.—Lieutenant Fer-|
rarin one of the two famous Italian j
airnivn who flew from Rome to Tokio:
encountered such rough air conditions)
while crossing the length of Korea j
that they made him seasick. Th**i
tempest met in the Hakone mountains!
was unparalleled. .
"In my entire flying experience.”
he said I had never before met withl
such conditions. The air was so dis-|
turbed over Korea that the machine
pitched like a small boat in a heavy j
rwcll and for the first time in my life;
I knew what it was to be seasick. As
toon as I teached the straits where
an escort of Japanese destroyers was
waiting for me. the air conditions im-
proved and the rest of my flight to
Tokio except for the storm in the)
Hakone was made in' ideal weather.”
One of the most difficult parts of j
his flight to Tokio he explained was
between Rangoon and Bangkok where!
very heavy fogs were encountered
making it extremely difficult to keep
on the course. Between Ubon and

Hanoi .Lieutenant Ferrarin was forc-
ed to follow a train for about three
hours in order to keep on the righ*
course.
“The most exciting part of my trip
occutrcd in Asia Minor” he said
“about 100 miles from Aleppo 1 was
subjected to heavy machine gun fire
by the Arab rebels. Again in Balu-
chistan when I was forced to land on
account of minor engine trouble I
was captured by the natives im-
prisoned and not allowed to leave un-

ITALIANS ENTERING U. S.
AT RATE OF 1000 A DAY
Transient Population at De-
tention Station is Large.
<ftv Tin* Axsoriatcd Press)
NEW YORK. July 22.—Hoffman
Island detention station of the New
York quarantine sendee now has an
average transient population of more
than 100»* a day due to the inbound
rush of Italian immigrants.
In addition the five doctors at-
tached to the station have given up
all thoughts of vacation and are work
ing. one of the quarantine officials
said to the limits of humari endurance
in vaccinating fumigating and in-
specting prospective citizens and their
families.
The reason for the unusual call for
the services of Hoffman Island is said
to be a misunderstanding on the part
of Italian officials and steamship
companies respecting United States
Public Health regulations. Travelers
from districts where typhus and other
transmittable diseases prevail arc
supposed to be “delouscd” examined
as “clean’* by American public health
officers before they board the ship.
These regulations are not being
complied with officials here claim
and therefore the delousing and fumi-
gating must be done before the
traveler is landed. The expense of
the work here is charged to the steam-
ship companies.
During the last week more than
a half dozen ships have arrived from
ports where typhus carrying suspects
could be taken on board. All of the^e
ships have been detained in quaran-
tine while the steerage passengers
numbering from one to 2.000 on each
ship were taken off on barges land-
ed at Hoffman Island and detained
for 24 to 48 hours.
During the detention they are com-
pelled to take a thorough bath from
the tons of their heads to the soles
of their feet. Their clothing bag-
gage effects are put through a bath
of live steam. From Hoffman Is-
land arrivals are taken to Ellis Is-
land for examination by immigration
authorities as to their qualifications.

IRON SHUTTERS CAUSE
OF MORE RIOTS THAN
AGITATORS IS CLAIM
(lty The Associat'd Press l
CONSTANTINOPLE July Tl.—
Iron shutters have probably caused
irnore riots massacres and pogroms in
the Levant than political ugitatore.
All shops in the neur east are provid-
ed with rolling iron shutters which
work in iron grooves. When they are
banged down they make as much
noise as a machine-gun. Every time
there is rumor of any sort of trouble
some tinpid merchant slams down his
shutters to protect his plate glass.
Without investigating the cause oth-
er merchants follow instantly with
such s clatter that the public becomes
panicky and rushes about trying to
discover the cause of the flurry.
At such moments excited crowds
will credit any rumor which is put
into circulation. Pickpockets avail
themselves of such opportunities.
Soapbox orators street fakirs and ma-
gicians gather crowds by this device.
In any Turkish city the circulation of
a rumor that a movement is to be
started against Christians will cause
all the Armenian and Greek shops to
dose within a few minutes and fre-
quently the noisy closing of the shops
fan the religious hatred of the Mo;*
lents into action.
CANING OF GIRLS IN *
ENGLISH SCHOOLS IS
BEING PRACTICED
( Bj The Associated I’resst
LONDON July 22.—Caning of
girl pupils in elementary schools bv
their male teachers a practice which
has been general in Kngland for many
years recently has become the sub-
ject of much criticism and the Daily
Mail has started an agitation for its
abandonment. Many letters have
been written the newspapers the ma
jority of the writers advocating in-
fliction of corporal punishment of
girls when necessary by women
teachers. They protest that a sensi-
tive girl may never fully recover from
the “shame of being caned by a
man.”
The Lord Mayor of Bristol who
had .'10 years experience as headmas-
ter of a school said he knew the prac-
tice of men administering corporal
punishment to girls was common but
he was opposed to it.
