Thread Cotton Aviates With Other Necessities
Will spool cotton, commonly used 'by dressmakers of the country by the ard. and formerly sold at the rate of 200 yards for 5 cents, be sold soon by the yard? Already In Richmond the price has poared to 5 cents for 60 yards or 10 cents for 250 yards, a peculiar combination. In other cities of the country the new 250-yard spool is selling for 15 cents. White silk thread sells for 20 cents a spool with 25 cents set es standard. Richmond merchants say it Is extremely difficult to get cotton thread at present. General Ecarcity of production, small cotton crops, "held down by the decision of cotton growers to raise less and keep the price up" are given as the outstanding rea
sons. Thread from sizes 40 to 60 is
particularly hard to get.
According to one buyer the scarcity
Is caused primarily by the change in many factories to larger spools, neces
sitating new measuring machines and
other, expensive mechanical changes
Factories In the future are planning to concentrate their output on 250-yard
spools, it is said.

WASHINGTON. When news was brought to the Lasky studio that Houdini, the famous handcuff king, was coming to make "The Grim Game," his Paramount-Art-craft picture, which is showing the last times today at the Washington theatre, all the other stars and lesser lights working there planned several entertainments with Houdini as the center of attraction. They produced shackles and chains, but he walked out of them as though he possessed the secret of the fourth demension. He then led an enthusiastic group to the railroad roundhouse at Los Angeles, where he permitted himself to be chained to the tracks and escaped before the approaching engine could reach him. Cecil B. DeMille suggested that he be tied to a plank before the
teeth of a buzz saw. Houdini agreed, and cheated the saw by loosing himself in a twinkling. MURRETTE. Buck Jones and his daring horseback feats promise to cause a riot of enthusiasm at the Murrette theatre,

the world war by breaking horses for

general. As a horseman, lsuck jones is said to be a marvel. The scenes of "The Last Straw" are laid in California, and in the hero role of Tom Beck, a cow puncher, Jones, according to reports, fills the bill to perfection. MURRAY.
