FASHION DRIVES
ANOTHER TO WALL

New York, Oct 1.-THE Jackson
Mack Manufacturing Company, one of
the largest makers of silk petticoats
in New York, went into bankruptcy
Friday.
The failure is the elimination of a
widespread complaint among manufac-
turers that the close-fitting dresses
now worn by women have so reduced
the demand for petticoats as to make
them a glut on the market. The LA
bilities of the bankrupt concern are
estimated at 100000; the assets at
$500, 900.

Mrs. Robert Moss closed the meet
ing. Mrs. Moss is president of the
Anne Arundel Just Government
League. She spoke of the work this
League had done, there being now
l2J members enrolled in a three
weeks campaign, which came TO a
close last night. Mrs. Moss referred
to the Civic League and the cooper
alton of the men of the Chsmber of
Commerce. with the womeA of the
Civic League and the good results.
Mrs Moss referred 10 things in
Annapolis which would be different
if women had vote Among these
Is the new jail TO cost 500, 900, which
Mrs. Moss said could have been rem
ovated for SIS, 600 at a saving to the
taxpayers, already heavily burdened.
If women had vote there would
be a primary school in each ward
and little children from Germantown
would not be obliged to walk to
Green street, miles away in heat and
ram. Mrs. Moss said Anne Arundel
is called the most corrupt county in
the State, and she blushed for such a
reputation for her county If wo-
men had vote the Board of Visitors
at the Naval Academy would not
have cause to remove the local
preparatory schools because of un-
savory moral and social conditions
here. Women do not want to be con
spicuous, or to make a noise, but want
the ballot that they may DO good
work that they see about them need
to be accomplished.
