Decided to Recommend Advance on
All Lines of Hose.

PHILADELPHIA, March 23.-After a
two days session here of the officers and
executive committee Of the National As
ISOLATION of Hosiery Manufacturers it was
decided to recommend to the members of
the association that a minimum advance
Of Is per cent be made on all lines of
hosiery. statement given out tonight
by c. B. Carter. secretary treasurer of
the association, says:
This step has been made necessary on
account Of the tremendous advances in
yarns. cost Of labor and decreased produce
ton, owing to the scarcity of labor.
Hosiery Is the last item of cotton goods
to feel the touch of prosperity, as other
fabrics have already advanced from SO
per cent to so per cent.
''The recent failure Of two very large
knitting concerns has brought home to
the hosiery manufacturers the absolute
necessity of making the advance"

motor cars is also applicable to bicycles in
the matter of speed, bells and lights 1t Is
made an offense for a wheelman to ride i'm
front of a fire engine when the latter is
on its way to fire: the handle bars of a
bicycle must not be more than four inches
below the center OF the sadie; riding upon
the sidewalks is prohibited and riders OF
bicycles must avoid collision with other We
hicles or with pedestrians.
There will be the usual number of bicycle
policemen upon the streets and roads today
to enforce the provisions of the regulations.
1t is the intention Of Maj Sylvester to have
the. greatest number of policemen on duty
in sections where there is the greatest dan
ger to life and limb.
