BIRD SINGS At WRONG TIME.
Detroit Girl Who Loves canaries 10
Arrested for Stealing
Sonqster.

Detroit.-Miss Nina Plock Of No. SO
Adams avenue east, loves canary birds.
II she were rich. she would have an
aviary full Of them. Her idea of bliss
is to have just as many canary birds
as she can find room for IN her house.
The sweetest music in the world to
her is the canary's song.
But canary's solo, piped at the
wrong moment, landed her in the po-
lice court. She had been arrested at
the behest of Royce & Passmore, bird
dealers. They told Justice Sellers
that she entered their store recently
and asked to look at some birds. When
the clerks back was turned she put
one Of the feathered songsters in her
waist and then told the man that sh !
guessed she would not buy any.
Just as she was leaving the canai y
began t. sing. He sang loudly. Tie
clerk barred the way to the door and
sent another clerk to the corner for
q policeman. Miss Flock was arrested.
Twice before the woman has been in
court for the larceny of canary birds,
say the officers. This time she was
fined $40, with the alternative Of 80
days In the house of correction. And
she had to give back the yellow soloist.

FOREIGN CLOTHES NOT WORN
Very Few Ready-Made Garments for
Men Imported Into United States
Exports Also Are Small.

Foreign competition is one Of the
least Of the worries of the ready-made
clothing industry Of the United States,
according to Uncle Sam. With an an
nual production amounting to more
than half billion dollars, manufac-
turers in the United States have prac-
tically no competition from abroad.
At the same time the United States
exports very little ready-made cloth
ing, in proportion to the size Of the
output in this country.
These conditions are due to the fact
that ready-to-wear clothing is not COM
monty worn in Europe except in the
cheaper grades. American-made cloth
ing for men was introduced in London
about 1908 or 1909 and small quaint
ties have been sold in other European
cities. Most Of the exports of cloth
ing, however, have gone to Canada and
Mexico. The total exports Of wooden
wearing apparel Of all kinds amounted
to only $2,14S,235 in 1914.
The little ready-made clothing that
is imported into the United States
consists chiefly of English overcoats
and such novelty garments as golting
and motoring clothes. The only per-
sons in the United States who prefer
English clothes are few residents OF
eastern seaport cities who are in touch
with England socially or commercially.
