Made In America"

Movements to popularize
goods of domestic manufac-
ture are well enough, but as
rule people buy what suits
them, regardless of where il
comes from.
The idea has long prevailed
that foreign made goods, espe
cially woolens, were superior
to domestic and that idea is re
sponsible for much deception.
The truth is that excellent
woolens are made in America
and our own foreign purchase
are made chiefly for originality
of style and the desire to offer
something different in texture
and appearance than domestic
mills supply.
Throughout the stocks gar
ments made from imported
fabrics are so marked. All
others are made in America, -
where of course all the gar
ments are produced.
Everything men and boys
wear.

SHOWS WASTE ON
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
Commissioner Adamson Reports
Practical "Frittering Away"
Of S1.169.621.
PREPARING NEW SCHEME

Fro Commissioner Robert Adamsoi
said yesterday that an investigation Of
the records Of his department, shows that
the allegation 81 the Merchants Associa-
ton that appropriations Tor a new fire
alarm system aggreeatIng Si,i6a.621 have
been "Srittered away" - true. and that
now after eight years Of appropriating
and spending the city has little more 20
show for it's money than a few Isolated
structures whose Incorporation in the pro-
posed new system is not 70 5s accom-
pllshed without great deal OF unncc-
essary expense.
Mayor Mitchell has ordered an invcsti-
CATION that will go still further into de-
tails to hx tho responsibility for the
"fritterlng." No appropriation for tho
new alarm system has been made under
the present administration, and mona will
bo asked for until comprehensive scheme
upon which work can he begun immedi-
ately has been mapped out.
The investigation has eHown that
twenty seven appropriations were made
for the new system. These appropc a
tions aggregated sl,s09,276.s2. OF this
amount S357,7S6.2s was spent not for the
new system, but for maintenance Of the
present system, for salaries, automobiles
and on contracts for patching up the old
system. Other appropriations aggreget-
Ing S6s9,95 were expended on con
struction that may possibly TIT Into the
new system. and }5597l.S0 went for ap-
paratus that also may possibly be OF
avail when the new system Is established.
Another item Of S65,9l2.>6 went 10 the

of 39.655.1f. which. Mr. Adamson says
