COTTON TRADE'S FUTURE.

Discussing the future of the cotton industry, Sir Charles "Macara, first president of the International Cotton Federation, who has 30 years' experience of cotton trade organisations, saysThe trade in nearly all! countries has been restricted in output through difficulty of

HONGKONG TELEGRAPH WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 19, 1919.

CONDOR SPIRAL The Condor Spiral Reflector Lamp REFLECTOR

called the

CONDOR SUNLITE

gives 10 times more light than a regular lamp.

In the Condor Sunlite the latest discoveries in the line of electric lighting have been applied in the most alfaffective way.

All other kinds hitherto sold possessed one drawback which reduced the efficiency, vis the diffusion of light sideways, whereby but a small proportion (about 18%) profited the consumer. The Condor Sunlite remedies this drawback by having a separate shade of milk glass attached to the top of the globe, which fits tightly to the globe and throws the light in a semicircle downwards, thus reducing the side radiation to a minimu, 1XK..

The globe luself has also been altered to suis the purpose better. Further the wire of the Condor Sualita is not strung up and down as in the ordinary lamps, but is suspended in the form of a pirole in the middle of the lamp. The source of light thus being smaller, the strength of the light is greater and more intense.

The elasticity of the spiral osures it to act as a spring. If the lamp is shaken or jolted, the spiral vibrates, but by reason of its greater power of resistance, does not break..

The reflectors are removable and can thus te regularly cleaned or screwed on to a new lemp.

The Spiral Reflector L mp, which has been invented in the Conder Works, is supplied in low voltage from 16 3:0 c.p. and in high voltage from 25 300 ep.

A trial with the Condor Sunlite will show that its lighting power, which is radiated vertically downwards, its entire efficiency thus profi'ing the consumer, is

10 times that of the ordinary lamp.

The ideal lamp for the lighting of rooms is the CONDOR SUNLITE.

The Condor Lamp Manufacturing Comp.,

India, China and Japan, with 10,000,000 spindles out of 144,000,000 in the world. may have been able to run with less interruption, but they have had to meet the demands of a Home population of about half the world's inhabitants. The Belgian industry has been stapped since the outbreak of war, and the mills of Northern France have silent also been

and badly damaged. A large proportion of the cotton machinery of the world is made in Lancashire, and very early in the war the great firms of textile machinists turned their works over to the production of munitions, except small sec- tions occupied with repairs and renewals. Thus great leeway has to be made up. In ten years be- fore the war the English cotton industry increased its spindleage -by 12,000,000, this being about 2,000,000 more than the total of India, China and Japan, which have been engaged in spinning and manufacturing cotton by The power for 60 or 70 years. increase exceeds also the total number of spindles Germany had when war broke out. That country has been spinning and weaving cotton for 100 years. Such a position makes impossible any great extension of the industry, as the renewal of the many millions of spindles destroyed or damaged during the war will tax the makers of machinery to the utmost for some time to come: and as present prices
