THE PROGRESS OF LIQUIDATION

With the great reduction in the
price of stocks, with the sale of
stocks and the cancellation of debt
will come gradually an ease in the
money market. This is the whole
story of liquidation
Relief to the money market will
not come solely from the importation
of gold, from the action of the bank
ers' syndicate nor from the intelligent
course taken by the treasury. These
are merely palliative measures.
The relief from a stringent money
market-that is, from condition
under which commerce has absorbed
all of the floating capital of the coun-
try-comes from iquidation-forced
iquidation-comes from decline IN
price which generally continues too
long.
The buying public" is the infu-
ence that relieves the money strin-
gency, takes off of the hands of men
unable to hold them good stocks not
at the prices of the bulls nor of the
bears, but at price fixed by the
"higgling of the markets.
This is the process that has been
going on in New York especially.
London, Paris and Berlin have come
to the relief of New York by pur-
chasing stocks on a lower level than
they expected to get them some
months ago.
Further relief will come from the
export of American farm products.

wondered just as much when the
hunters for strange things paid gull

since then it has been known in Eng

From 1871 10 1915 q number OF Eng

the industry as that Of Goodyear, sue

benzine which was the beginning OF
the industry Of waterproof clothing.
GOODYEAR Takes Hold,
In 1882 the house of Chaffee & Has

bury India Rubber Company for the
purpose Of doing a business Of the
sort which Macintosh was doing on
the other side. They, however, did not
succeed, but they had in their employ
one Charles Goodyear, who devoted his
life and his fortune to the discovery
Of what turned out TO be the most
practical OF all methods of overcoming
the adhesiveness OF sickness which
initiated against the commercial uses

Society,"

TN America we, have queens of fashion,
but their reign may be long or short,
\ and while certain one may be popu-
lar In one section of the country her
taste in dress may not be even tolerated
in another district. The wives of the
presidents of the United States, who have
been naturally the first women in the
country, have not cared to have any
publicity about the small details of their
dress or hobbies So naturally. as every
one wants someone to look UP to, our
society folk look to the heads of the
royal families in the various European
countries as recognized leaders in dress.
American women do not realize how
much they do copy in dress the members
of royalty. They may not do 1t them
selves, but their dressmaker does 1t fol
them, and If a close watch Is kept it will
easily be noticed that a month after the
queen of England has worn some novelty
majority Of American women will be
wearing the same thing in some form or
other
Queen Alexandra of England is not as
expensive in her dress as would be ex-
pected When she really likes dress
she wears it until it looks old and then
has 1t remade and freshened up. She
does not have new gown for every day,
but every costume she has is as rich and
costly as taste will allow.
Her favorite color is mauve and one of
her costumes which has been greatly ad-
mired during the last season was an
evening cloak of amethyst velvet,
elaborately encrusted with silver emLroid-
toilette and black toque, following the
French manner of dressing for the play
in the evening.
Her majesty is very fond of rich lian
embroideries of the sumptuous gold and
silver variety.
Queen Maud of Norway, one of Queen
Alexandra's three daughters, is noted
for her artistic taste in dressing. She has
a perfect figure, and her coronation gown,
which was a positive sheath of cloth of
gold, elaborately embroidered and with
a clear cut decolletage, designed with
simplicity, has gone down in history as
a marvel of beauty and taste.
The princess of Wales, who gives SO
many orders to London firms. has one
idiosyncrasy that must be obeyed. She
heartily disapproves of the non-pocket
tyranny meted out by some dressmakers
to their customers, and will not tolerate
the placing of pockets at the foot of the
skirt among the ruffles beneath 1t. For
her royal highness pockets are always
provided in the seam that appears upon
the left of the front breadth of the skirt
position that rather arbitrarily dictates
similarity in skirt trimming. especially
when muslin frocks are being made
All the royalties possess very exquisite
real lace and jeweled buttons, which they
use again and again on different toilettes
The princess of Wales has one set OF
amethyst buttons that she had adapted
from the ornaments upon a blotting- booi
that she had used for some time and
worn out.

Council to Find Funds

The board of public works has received
so many compliments on the clean con-
dition of downtown atreets where the
compressed air flushing sprinlkling wag-
ons are used that the equipment will
be increased IL The city council can find
the money.
President James A. Anderson yester-
day made a statement to the council
saying:
"A few months ago, under authoriza-
tion of your honorable body, this board
purchased two Murphy patent flushing
machines to be used in flushing and
cleaning the paved streets. The said ma
chimes have been in use now some weeks
and we find that their use produces very
satisfactory results and in an economical
manner.
1--WE therefore request permission to
purchase under the emergency provisions
of the city charter two more of these
wagons"
The council has the request under con-
sideration.
Where cities have much water these
wagons are in general use in the east,
