Washington. Opinions Idoly dif
fer as to tlio amount of raw cotton be
ing consumed in tlio manufacture of
smokeless powder, both hero and In
Europe, not only as to tlio total con
sumption since tlio war began, but tlio
amount necessary to produce ono
pound of such powder. Of powders,
90 per cent being used Jn Europo Ik
known as "amokoleBH," according to
tlio military records of this govern
ment, and slnco tlio reckoning hero Is
that It requires ono pound of cotton to
produce ono pound of smokeless pow
der, an Idea may bo gathered of tlio
importance tho American staplo bears
to tho fighting power of an urmy.
In Justification of its contraband or
der, tho government of Oreut Britain
in a statemont issued by tho cnibiiBsy
hero, pointed out tho extcnslvo use of
cotton for military purposes and that
it forms practically tho only baso for
explosives employed by European
armies. Tho English do not agreo,
howovor, that cotton consumption Is
pound for pound, but that only four
tenths of ono pound of cotton is re
quired to produco one pound of this ex
plosive. Somo of thoir authorities
contend that a balo of cotton will turn
out 900 pounds of smokoless powder,
and, putting it in another way, that
cvbry shipload of cotton reaching tho
Qormans results in the doath of COO
soldiers of tho allies.

Representative Hcflln in a speech to
tho house doallng with cotton growing
nnd exportation, estimated that a total
of 3,000,000 balos of tho staplo grown
in tho United States had found Its way
into powdor. Ho allows 2,000,000 bales
consumption by tho govornmontB of
Europo and tho remainder to tho man

In tho manufacture of smokoloss

Unitod States that Germany met tho

them back into ilbor and grinding into

pears from documents placed In tho
Congressional Record by Senator
Hoko Smith of Georgia that tho Toil
tons' resourcefulness Is bound by no
such limitations. Ho read a letter
from Gormany showing that cotton
wob not being used In the manufacture
of powder at all, that long bo.'oro tho
outbreak o, tho war oxpor.fi of that
country had substituted wood pulp,
and that slnco tho war begun wood
pulp had boon rolled upon almost en
tirely. Other statements were produced by
lUo senator rrom Georgia to support
tho contention that Gormany was no
longer relying upon cotton llntors and,
It was related, tho German military de
partment lias been releasing Its cot
ton to tho factories turning out cotton

Under war streas It has been esti
mated that tho United StateB would
nood 30,000,000 pounds of powder ,,or
year, and a pound of cotton for a
pound of smokeless powdor would
mean an cnornions consumption of tho
staplo In thlB country alono. Tho total
capacities of tho plants In this coun
try, considering tho probablo output
of other classes of oxploslvcs. is hard
ly equal to a war-tlmo demand of tho
Unitod States, and whllo it Iiub been
tho chief purposo of thoso who would

PUTS BOYS' COMFORT FIRST
Jersey Education Board Says That
Collars May Be Discarded
on Hot Days.
'fronton, N. J. Schoolboys in Now
Jersey nood not wear a collar in warm
weather and they may turn under tho
neck bands of their shirtwaists. This
decision, reached by tho state board
of educutlon, put an end to tho con
troversy that has ragod slnco sum
mer's llareback lust September, nnd
also reverses tho findings of tho stato
commissioner of education.
Tho case was that of Van hoar and
Robertson Turner, sons of Frank V. L.
Turner of Morchantvillo. During tho
unsoaBonablo weather last fall, tho
boys, who aro ten and thlrtoon yoi.ro
old, respectively, woro aent to school
without collurs und with tho neck
bands of their shirtwaists turned un
der. Tho toachor, Miss Surah Rog
ers, promptly sent them homo. Their
mother refused to chungo thoir at
tiro for soveral days, during which
t.mo thoy woro dented admission to
tho school, although thoy reported
oach morning.
Turner appealed to tho Morchant
villo school board and then to tho
state school commissioner, both of
whom uphold the toucher's action, in
reversing them tho stato board holds
that tho toucher's niandnto was an
unronsonnblo and unwurruntod exer
