Cfotton Industry Doubled
Payrolls Under New Deal
Alter President Roosevelt had
signed the National Industrial Re
covery act, the cotton textile indus
try was the first to come forward
With a definite proffer of coopera
tion. Operating under NRA code
Number 1. the cotton manufactur
ers have today 145.000 more people
•n their payrolls than In March, j
1M3, and the payrolls themselves
havi been doubled la that time.
The benefits of that development
have spread in many directions.
Yet perhaps you will say, "Why
is there ill this interest in National
Cotton week.” Because 12 million
people—nearly 10 per cent of the
nation's population, are employed
in the growing, manufacturing and
distribution of cotton; and any
thing that directly affects the live
lihood and welfare of 12 million
people naturally attracts wide
spread public attention.
27 Percent Grow Cotton
The observance of National Cot
ion week for the past three years
has served to make the people of
the United Slates conscious of the
importance of cotton, both as an in
dustry and as a factor in their
everyday lives. It has helped to in
crease the sale of cotton fabrics
Which in turn has helped to improve
eonditions for not only the 12 mil
lions souls just referred to but
countless others whose well-being is
largely dependent on the cotton in
dustry’s activities. It might be inter
esting to you to know that 27 per '
cent of the total farm population of
the United States live on cotton
producing farms.
National Cotton week la in no
small part due to cotton fabrics
gaining the limelight of Fashion.
That has not only helped the Cot
ton Industry but it has been a great j
impetus to trade, both for the
wholesales and retailer, which af-!
facts still more people and puts
more money into circulation. Ap
proximately 12 percent of the coun
try’s retail business or roughly six
billion dollars, is done in cotton
goods.
Style At Low Coat
It. is no exaggeration to say that
fashion acceptance of cottons has
been a great help to the social and
business morale of the majority of
women, because it has made it pos
sible for them to dress attractive
ly and fashionably in practical and
inexpensive clothea. Cottons have
"made the social register,” so to
speak, and are entirely correct for
every possible occasion in warm
weather, from the house frock
donned in the morning, to gowns
for the most formal occasions, and i
even for the most fashionable or I
weddings. Women have cause to be |
thankful, too. in torrid weather, for
the cool comfort, of crisp, washable,
cottons.
And n that score, men can also,
Offer I vnf.e e\f fhnnlrs A man mnv !
intff at fashion as something that
only women worry about; but
nothing under heaven could induce
him to appear in public in some
thing that "is not being done." But
since cottons are ‘being done" for
men’s suits, he he no longer need *uf
fer the discomfort of a heavy suit
in hot weather.
Cottons are also style leaders in
home decoration. Many of the fin
est. of modern drapery and uphol
stery fabrics are of cottons, hand
some new weaves of cotton produce
effects formerly obtainable only
with more expensive materials.
Every housewife knows the import
ant role that cottons plays in the
equipment of her household.

MANY OF the new spring evening wraps would be nl.
Tor house coats when their party days are over. This is
especially so in the case of those coolie coats made of bro
cade of lame. These would be grand over lounging pa
jamas. The same goes for the new taffeta coats. Here
are three models, all of which would be useful indoors as
well as over evening frocks. First is a handsome coolie
coat in heavy silver lame, with a design borrowed from
antique Chinese brocade. The center coat is of taffeta in
navy blue, with flattering collar
and sleeves and two brilliant
buttons at waist and throat. At
the right way is a wrap in white
clockwise pique that can be worn
on either side. This would be
nice to wear with dart f-»-1 ■ ,
the daytime.
When party day* era
ever these coats will
serve other purposes.

Cinderella Cotton
Up From Kitchen
To High Society
Tobe, fashion and merchandising
counsellor of 645 Fifth avenue, New
York, declares that it Isn't news any
more to say "Cottons are smart!"
Rather, today, we merely declare
Cottons are!” He writes.
In a word, cottons arc so definite
ly an integral part of the fashion
picture, their sponsorship coming
so authoritatively from three con
tinents and many countries—Paris,
New York, Hollywood—not to men
tion Mexico, Japan and many of the
other peasant lands—that there is
no longer any necessity of "educat
ing" the fair public. The fashionable
woman now is no more "cotton con
scious” than she is “silk conscious."
She buys a dress today because she
likes it—not because the fabric de
rives from contented silk worms; or
pedigreed cotton fields; or from
great vats of wood pulp. For cot
ton has passed all the boundaries of
time and place—from morn till mid
night, In the kitchenette or on the
dance floor, cotton plays its role
with the same Infinite chic (and
with sometime!) as any of its fa
bric sisters. Therefore, we reiterate
—no apologies for cotton!
Of course the reason for the
frank acceptance of cotton is due
soley to its own fascinating, my
riad personality. When you look
over the great cotton range, and
find such stars as “seersucker or
gandie," "cravat cottons,” "mate
lasse cottons," “alpacca cotton,”
"Cotton marquisette—to name Just
a few—then the reasons are quite
apparent, and the result is that the
whole feminine world has taken ap
this new-old lov«.
Paris has been sponsoring cottons
for a number of seasons, but each
year that magic city’s approach to
cotton has grown more serious, and
its touch more sure. When you find
such sartorial artists as Schiapar
elli, Chanel and Molyneux (the last
with his new and very Important
light swagger coolie coats over dark
frocks), treating cottons with the
same fine distinction as silks—then,
indeed, does cotton come into its
own.
Henry Creed, the popular Paris
tailor, now uses India madras very
successfully as touches on tailored
suits. For example, on a beige tail
leur the revers are of the madras to
match the blouse underneath. A
brown suit has a waistcoat blouse
of yellow, green and red plaid ma
dras—.very evidently Inspired by the
fashions of the nineteen hundreds.
And we can add Vera Borea and
several others of the young Paris
houses, toes
