aulrements The board has consistently
opposed the proposed regulations In their
present form.
Laurence NJ y. Mcclure. president Of

OF the pending measure are not only UNI
just to property owners who derive In

many Of the provisions Of the ordinance
are unconstitutional.

The Bankers Approval.

Puzzling to many appears the general
endorsement by bankers Of the new cur
rency law, and it certainly does seem a
little strange when one recalls the vigo-
denunciation by these same bankers OF
the measure when first proposed. This
change of front has given rise to a sus-
picion that the OPPOSITION was not sincere.
but carried on in furtherance OF a sheWen
game tat has proven successful. But
that seems improbable. What is appar-
emily a more correct explanation is the
prevalence of the fallacy that prosperity
may be induced to come by q pretense OF
confidence in its existence, or may be
kept away by lack of such confidence.
This fallacy prevails so lagely among
bankers and business men the it seems
reasonably to attribute to it their sudden
change OF front. AS soon as they realized
that enactment Of the bill into law could
not be prevented, belirfin the "conlidence"
theory must natuarly have forced the con-
viction upon them that it became their
duty to join in the chorus of calls we'll
Such conduct Is ridiculous, OF course, and
almost too silly to selieve OF otherwise
intelligent men. Yet it is no more silly
than the theory on which it is based.

COST OF APPAREL
GIVES EUGENE SHOCK.
Former Empress Never Paid More
Than $125 For Gown.

Loud complaints are heard because
Of the huge advance IN the prices
charged for women's apparel In Lon
don. There Is no doubt that In the
last twenty years there has been an
enormous increase in the charges not
only for very elaborate toilets, but for
simple sailor made costumes, and as
for &S and millinery generally they
have now reached a price that verges
on the ridiculous.
One hundred dollars to SIPS Is gen.
orally asked for q tailor made costume.
although it Is a we'll known fact that
a few years ago an ordinary tailor
made yachting costume could be OBJ
tanned for half that sum at the very
best shops.
Not long ago. it Is said, the e1-Em-
press Eugene expressed herself as
Mortified at these present day prices
and declared that she herself had
never paid more than $125 for her
most magnificent toilets. 1t Is quite
certain that this sum would not buy
an elaborate toilet that could be worn
nowadays at the court or state balls.
or even at the Ascot meeting. Five
hundred dollars, $3.50 and even o
is not l~nfrequently paid for court
dresses, and many Of the beautifully
draped toilets that created a sensa'
ton at Ascot this year are known to
have cost $3.50 to $500.

It was found more convenient to divide

became aware Of the fact that by di

Office Hours.

Living in a very friendly neighbor
hood, I found that often during the
week I was delayed in my work by q
"back-door" visit or a lengthy tele-
phone call. Accordingly l proposed
to several that we adopt office hours
for our work and permit no Interrupt
ton during those hours, writes a con,

neighbors saw the wisdom of this plan
and we have followed 1t with very
gratifying economy of strength and
time.
