THE FICTITIOI .S FALL BOOM.
Philadelthia Record
We are pained to learn that Fall Riv
er is not blooming as a news dispatch
published Monday asserted. We noted
with sa* is fact ion that on that morning
110 Fall River mills would start up on
full time, many of which had been idle
for months, and others had been mim
ing on part time, and that this would
furnish employment for 20,000 persons,
and that ail this was due to the great
improvement in business and in the in
creased demands for goods.
Without any suspicion that the news
was false, we expressed our satisfaction
at the trade improvement, but declined
to see any connection between the boom
and the election of Mr. Coolidge. The
idleness of the mills had lasted for
months had occurred under the< reign of
Mr. Coolidge and the Fordney-MoCum
| her tariff, and a change in the state of
trade could not be attributed to them.
As soon ns E. F. Walker, of Provid
ence, secretary of the Rhode Island Tex
tile Association, saw that Fall River
was bursting into a b<>om he felt sur
prised and then he undertook to verify
the g’.ad news. Later in the day he gave
out results o{ his investigation. He
learned from the most reliable Fall
River sources that "there is no founds,
tion for such a stnement”.
Only five or six Fall River mills are
starting full-time production schedules
I today, and these mills have in general
been running on part time for some
weeks. The great majority of Fall Riv
er mills will continue to operate on
their o'.d schedules until conditions in
the goods markets improve enough to
warrant a higher rate ofoperation.
We are informed on the most reliable
authority in Fall River that the story of,
full-time operation in Fall River was (
put out as Government cotton report
issued at 11 A. M. today.
On Monday the Government gave out
a import' indicating that the crop would
be materially laTger than the estimate
of two weeks before. The natural effect
of thin would be to depress the market,
and the story of great activity in the
goods market and the consequent re
sumption of 116 mills in Fall River was
designed to boom cotton • and offset the
decline, f
As n matter of fact, the publication
!of the official report was immediately
followed by an advance because the in
crease reported by the Government was
not ns great as had been estimated by
the trade. Later this gain was lost
There must be some law that will
reach the issuing of a lying dispatch
from Fall River to affect the cotton
market in New York, and the parties
affected by the lie ought to have energy
enough to make somebody smart for it.
Rut to recur to the political aspects of
the case, not only could a boom in the
Fall River mills not be due to the elec
tion on November 4, but there was no
boom. The election of Mr. Coolidge and
the assurance that the Fordney-MeCtun
ber tariff will last another four years
have not been enough to produce any
marked effect in Fall River. Five or
six mills, some of which had been run
ning on pnjt time, resumed running on
full time last Monday. But the great
majority of Fall River mills continue to

THE NERVOUS CHILD
One Out of Three In a Family Is Like
ly To Be Irritable.
While nervous children used to be rare,
it is not unusual now for one of three in
every family to be so affected, say Dr.
Jas. J. Walsh and Dr. John A. Foote in
their new book, “Safeguarding Chil
dren's Nerves,” (Lippincott's). They say:
“We hear so much of improvement in
health as the result of hygiene and sani
tation and better methods of living gen
erally that it is no little surprise for
most people to learn that the number
of patients suffering from nervous dis
eases is constantly growing. This is
particularly noticeable as regards chil
dren. The nervous child used to be
a very great exception, found mainly in
families with rather marked nervous
heredity. Now, wherever there are two
or three children in the family, it is
not at all unusual to have at least one
of them exhibit very definite signs of
nervousness, and in some cases all of the
children manifest those tendencies to ir
ritability on slight cause and to over
reaction to Emotional stimuli which are
so characteristic of the nervous child.”
