MILLS GET COTTON Lancashire Receives 1,000 Bales’ : From Port of Mersina Yverpool, Feb, 27. — The ar- rival here of 1,000 bales of cotton from the port of Mersina, in Asia Minor, marks the opening of a new eourse of cotton supply to the spin- ning mills of Lancashire. It will be a new source in the sensc of constituting an addition to the centers which now feed Lanca- shire with raw cotton, says the Westminster Gazette, but curiously nough it was from this quarter of the Turkish Empire that Britain first began to draw her cotton sup- | plies nearly four centuries ago They were the mainstay of cotton spinning in England before the days of Arkwright, and before cotam cultivation in America serious proportions A ginnin down at ua, lieadquarters of one of the three cultivating areas, and for which the port of Mersina is a natural outlet. The two other areas are the hint and the valley of Sakarla. Adana can produce an annuai crop of 100,000 bales; her potentiality is described as a minimum of §00,000 the lions. M. Husnl, & member of a Man- chester cotton firm, has expressed the view that the Smyrna crop would gell at pass price (middling) and the American Egyptian hybrid crop of Adana would be worth more than pass price, The classification of this cotton in a business and attention and next year's crop will be offered on riglily defined types.” | 70 STAGE BIG SHAM WAR OFF PACIFIC COAST —_— Pacific Battle Fleet to Meet One ¥rom East Coast Defending T.os Angeles.

In this connection I pointed out that a plan for 1 alliance had been put forward iu 1922, but had been rejected by the Finnish parliament, and the situ- ! ation was still unchanged. | Dr. Procope declared, howeven, | that the Baltic states were in com- | plete accord, particularly with re- | |Eard to measures intended to secu peace. “In all questions touch lon the world's work for peace,” he | {said, “we agree.

Thus the trade between Finland and the | United States increased rapidly dur- ing the last few years. Finland has been introduced to the American money market, and loans to the amount of $29,000,000 have hecn absorbed by American investors in a year's time.” While declaring that Finland | would never submit to communism, | Dr. Procoi declared that his ¢ try desired especlally to maintain peaceful and friendly relations with soviet Russia. | | | | | | bri In 1 First Broadwayite—That actor is |is soft. | Second Broadwayite—How come First Broadwayite—He has one of {those inheritance roles Abie's |Trish Rose, thed from f | {to son in perp beq Seandard full size and weight packages— Medium: 1% pounds; Large: 3 pounds, 7 oz.

Singers of the Vienna opera, whose ‘volces are broadcast from the stage, have sued the manage- nfent on the grounds that their commercial value is depreclated by the radio. An opara star's assets, they claim, depend not only upon his ability as a singer, - but also upon his acting. The fact that the radio can trans- mit the volce only, but not the ges- tures, they contend, gives an er- roneous impression of the prtist and thua interferes with his popularity to such an extent that his com- merclal vajge is lessened. ™ BIGYCLES AND AUTOS pelgium Manufactures - Neardy As Many Two-Whecled Vehicles As the United States Does Cars. .

Owing to the expense of the upkeep of u sea lion, however, it is not probable that they will ever |replace cats and dogs as pets. A sea lion has all the intelligence of a dog, adaptability and affection and re- quires no license, but ordinarily it costs from $500 to 8700 a year to keep a pet of this kind. | One of thé club members, L, R. | Brightwell, has had much expericnce with sea lions as pets and highly rec- ommends them, In his opinion it is only the high rate for the use of water and the cost of fish as food which prevents the sea lion becom- ing & d’lll\'(‘rml pet. “wreed is undoubtedly the sea |lion's ome great fault,” writes Mr. Brightwell, “but given enough fish, a sea llon may be taught anything. His amazing gifts of balancing, div- ing and forming picturesque groups are implanted in him by nature.” Labor “in Sweden ; Is Conservative stronghold of labor in politics, the percentage of voters enrolled under |the labor banner being larger than in any other country, according to figures brought out here by Social- For Sports Demokraten, the government organ, and vouched for by the seeretariut of ' t 3 .
