TOOK BED WITH
HIM FOR SNOOZE
IN BREAD LINE
MADRID, July 12 (by Associated
Press).—The sun prevented what
( threatened to be a serious outbreak in
Madrid during the recent bakers’
strike. The first two days of the bread
scarcity were dull and threatening
and the hungry poor were so affected
by the lowering skies and the lack of
food that they paraded the streets in
groups uttering shouts and menacing
storekeepers who kept their establish
ments open.
On the third day the sun shone and
although still hungry and compelled
to wait indefinite hours for the loaves
to be doled out, the people did so
patiently and even cheerily,
f All kinds of laws and police regu
lations were broken by the men,
women and children forming the al
most endless bread lines, but the au
thorities took a lenient view of what
occurred.
When an old man brought a camp
bedstead, set it up on the sidewalk
and stretched himself on it, a police
man arrested him and led him to the
station house with his bed. The police
«eaptain first looked grave, then began
to laugh when the offender explained
he knew he might have to wait any
thing from twelve to twenty hours for
bis bread and had merely provided
against fatigue. He was released and
returned to his place in the line with
his bed amid the applause of the
crowd.
Another group hired a barrel organ
whose owner played popular melodies
while the people waiting with growing
appetites and hollow stomachs danced
merrilly. On the Calle de la Magda
lena a cobbler arrived carrying a stool,
his tools and a pair of shoes, which
he was able to sole and heel before
his turn came to obtain a loaf.
Similar scenes were enacted day
after day amid general hilarity until
the municipal authorities decided to
break up the big bread lines by dis
tributing loaves from a larger number
of centers. The danger was then over.
COUNTRY NEEDS ANOTHER i
FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE
9
BUFFALO, July 12 (by Associated
Press).—Unless some remedy is found
for the acute shortage of nurses,
many of the hospitals of the country
will be compelled to curtail opera
tions, asserts Mrs. Annie L. Hansen,
superintendent of the Buffalo District
Nursing Association, in her annual re
port. A recent campaign to induce
more young women to take up the
profession of nursing was a failure,
Mrs. Hansen said, and as a result one
Buffalo institution was compelled to
close one of its departments.
“Hospital training schools of the
United States have reached a high
state of efficiency and new hospitals
and new systems for nursing the sick
in their homes are arising every
where,” Mrs. Hansen said, “but the
necessary pupils fail to appear. The
country needs another Florence Night
ingale.”

MUSI DEVELOP
NEW SOUR* OF
COHON SUPPLY
MANCHESTER, England, July 12
(by Associated Press). — Prof. J. A.
Todd, secretary of the Empire cotton
growing committee of the board of
trade, delivered to the textile institu
tion a warning of the prospective
world developing new sources of sup
ply as well as experimenting with cot
ton substitutes.
After dealing exhaustively with the
labor position in the United States cot
ton growing areas, bad weather and
the ravages by boll-weevil as well as
the acreage position, the professor
said it was obvious that we were not
going tu 'get 15,000,000 bales of cot
ton this year.” At home it seemed to
him the consumers had not yet lilt
the full weight of the high cost of the
raw material. Even in America he did
not see much sign of the consumer's
intention of doing without cotton fab
rics.
The statistics for America’s domes
tic consumption for the first three
months of this year were on a basis
uncomfortably near to 7,000,000 bales
a year. British consumption before
the war was nearly 4,000,000 bales and
the total American crop last year was
only 11,000,000. What was going to
happen when the rest of the world
and particularly the continental coun
tries—woke up and began to demand
more cotton?
By next year, he said, the continen
tal mills probably would be more ac
tive than now and the demand in
creased and the Oriental demand
would also be much higher. So long
as the workers and producers of the
world were making so much more
money than they ever did before, he
did not see how the demand for cotton
goods was even going to be substan
tially reduced. The world was not
producing sufficient cotton to meet
this demand and was not likely to do
so unless some way was devised of
making use of even the lowest grades.
It was only a question of time, he
asserted, when the world would face
a scarcity of cotton and it was high
time, therefore, that something was
done to develop new sources of sup
ply, for even when they were found
they would not be able to afford sub
stantial relief for five or ten years.
He was not sure that the time had
not come for them to look around for
an efficient cotton substitute, for the
world was full of textile fabrics which
had never been exploited.
NITRATE PRODUCERS
FIND EASY MARKET
SANTIAGO, Chile, July 12 (by As
sociated Press).—The critical situa
tion created to the main industry of
Chile has been considerably bettered
this year and the Nitrate Producers’
Association has exported 95,000 tons
of nitrate against a production of only
55,000 tons, which means that most of
the surplus that could not be place!
last year has found an easy market.
The price of nitrate of soda has also
increased considerably. The prosper
ity of this industry means for Chile
solid financial situation of the govern
ment; abundance of work for labor
ers and general welfare of the coun.
try The reverse wes experienced last
year when there was no market for
nitrate.

“OVERALLS” ADDED AS
PORTUGUESE WORD
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, July 12
(by Associated Press).—One result of
the movement against the high cost
of living in the United States has been
to add a new word—“overalls”—to the
Portuguese language.
When the overalls movement started
in the United States, newspaper men
here translating the Associated Press
dispatches from English into the Por
tuguese were perplexed. The literal
translation would be “sobretudo,” but
as this means overcoat in Portuguese
it would not serve. The translators
finally decided on “roupa de operario,”
which in English is “workmen’s
clothes.”
At present, however, since photo
graphs have arrived from North Amer
ica and the movement has been
started here, no further effort is made
at translation. The simple English
word “overalls” has been adopted by
newspapers and public alike.
The movement is gathering momen
tum in Rio de Janeiro and vicinity.
Agitation started by newspapers has
been taken up by students who in a
mass meeting resolved to lead the
way in imitation of North Americans
in combatting the high cost of living.
