THE COST OF
MEMS CLOTHING.

The newspapers printed a dispatch
few days ago predicting somewhat
higher prices for mems clothing this
fall. Conditions growing out OF the
war. and that advancing cost of labor
are named as causes.
The man who buys a suit of clothes
OF first class tailor is assessed
heavily nowadays. There are great
many men who used to get this grade
of garments for about $4,000 $500.
who today are paying s45.00 and$50.
The labor organizations have forced
up the price OF garment making, and
public sentiment requires the tailor
to maintain his workshop in a more
sanitary condition.
This advancing cost must tend to
help the ready made clothing trade.
Il so proves in the field of feminine
apparel. A great many women who
formerly used to patronize dress.
makers now buy clothes direct from
the shop. OF course as the wealth OF
the country advances, a great many
more men can afford to pay high
prices. But many of them are feeling
that the production Of custom made
clothes for their individual require
ments has become too expensive an
affair.
The ready made clothing store has
to carry in stock an assortment suf-
fcient to fit tall men, short men. fat
men, and thin men. 1t must take
good capital. The rapid changes in
styles constantly threaten losses. The
Of the times must be to fav-
or the larger store that Is enterprising
enough to advertise, and to crowd
out the small shop that feels it cant
afford it.
People tend to become more pafti-
cular about the fit of their clothes.
The man who used to be satisfied with
any old baggy garments that would
cover his nakedness now expects the
ready made man to produce or alter
that will fit his physical
idiosyncrasies. To meet all these. de-
mands is quite problem. The ready
made man needs an eye for form and
no little mechanical skill to make
these adaptations correctly.

CLOTHES AND WORK.

The demand among certain type
of men for clean handed polite jobs
is oftep commented upon. They will
accept low pay IL the work seems Of
a gentlemanly type where they can
keep their cuffs clean. They dislike
plunging into the vital processes of
a factory. They would have to wear
overalls.
That there are some women who
entertain similar ideas was suggested
by the remark of a fashionable dress
maker the other day. She does bus
mess in a good sized city, employing
some Is girls.
They come to the shop" she said,
'in delicate light gowns. These would
be appropriate to attend afternoon
tea in. But they do not fit In my
work on dark colored cloth with
lint or coloring matter that rubs of.
They kick at using such material.
But | have to wear dark clothes my
self, In which | can handle anything.
Also their hands are so carefully
manicured that they don't like to get
them soiled."
Probably these girls desire to ap.
pear on the streets as IL they were
ladies' of leisure. II they dressed like
working girls, they might meet some
Of their swell friends.
The majority of business girls have
no such false Alterations. They go
to their work simply dressed, seeking
to avoid rather than draw attention,
But there are others who are affected
by the wealth and false standards OF
the times. Their work is not their
first aim in life. Their hearts are
set on attracting attention, getting
ahead socially. becoming intimate
with Society people.
Young women of this type defeat
their onw ends. They are disliked
by their employers and are accepted
only for lack of more efficient ser
vice. They get few advances In
wages and when there Is a chance
for promotion, they are passed by.

STUDENTS PAY THEIR own way
Fully Half Of the Girls Attending
University Support Themselves.

University Support Themselves.
Fully one-half of the girls who at.
tend the University of Utah last year
supported themselves in whole or in
part, according to statistics compiled
by Miss Lucy NJ. Van Colt, dean Of
women.
These statistics show that, out OF
729 girls registered in the university,
AGA had homes outside Of Salt Lake
City and $50 earned part or all of
their expenses while attending school
The list Of occupations in which
these latter were engaged is illumi.

Miss Van Colt gives attention to
the care and welfare OF young women
attending the university, especially
those coming from other states and
from parts of Utah outside of Salt
Lake City. She not only attends to
the special needs Of young women
during school hours, but uses every
p-ecaution to see that they are prop.
erly cared for at boarding places
She is in charge OF loan fund which
has done great deal to assist de.
serving students by lending them
small sums OF money for convenient
periods OF time without interest. All
women students are required to see
her on arriving at the university.

BY JOHN A. HENDRicksoN

The following article which appear.
ed in the Payroll Builder, was writ
ten by Mr.. Hendrickson, and as It
touches on local industry, should
furnish interesting reading:
The knitting industry OF our state
passed its twenty-sixth birthday in
July. July. 1890, the writer placed
above the door OF small knitting
factory in Logan sign reading:
Cache Knitting Works. 1t Is a fact,
however, that previous to that time
some few hosiery had been made on
hand knitting machines. The Cache
Knitting Works employed at the
start .but eight knitters. The capital
employed was quite as limited as the
number of hands employed. The fac.
tory began soliciting trade from the
stores as we'll as the retail trade. In
1891 additional articles OF knit goods
were added to the list, and one year
thereafter, other articles in the line
were added. In 1898 the present well
known union suits for men, mostly
made up in the black were offered to
the public. Previous to this period
these garments were not on the mar.
ket. Ladies' union suits, however,
were made in the east and shipped
west and offered by many of the la
dies furnishings establishments. 1t
was with some difficulty that the
mems union suit found its way onto
the market, as it was an innovation
in the underwear line. In 1895,
agents were sent from Logan into
Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, solic
lting orders from the consumers and
we we're indeed surprised at the re-
suits, About this time other factor
les were started in Logan, by men
who had learned something of this
industry from the original factory,
when agents were sent into several

HIGHWAY DETACHMENT,

Representatives II the National
Highways Protective Association Of
New York are working in a number OF
states this year. Their efforts is to
arouse sentiment against the deface.
ment OF highways by advertising signs
In seven states there are now laws
against this practice.
1t amounts to little to clean out
signs from the roads. IL just outside
the street line there are ugly and
flaring boards. This is a difficult mat.
ter to control, owing to legal OBJ
'stacles. The laws apparently permit
a man to make his land Just as un.
slightly as he wants to. The fact that
he Injuries neighboring real estate as
we'll as his own. is not considered
OF private ownership. There are ways
however by which such abuses could
be gotten rid OF. Every automobile
association Improvement society, and
country club should be an active
agency for identifying country life.
Automobile associations should not
confne themselves to efforts to i'm
prove road surfaces. All kinds OF out
door organizations should be. interest
cd in everything.
There are millions of people who
object to advertising signs in high
ways or painted on barns or scattered
through pretty rural country. Such
organizations as are mentioned above
should pass resolutions against such
DETACHMENT. They should urge in SO
far as they may do so legally, that
their members refrain from patron
i2ing concerns that resort to this
most Objectionable method OF adyer

In such ways as these, public senti
ment could be so organized tnat bus

move their ugly roadside signs They

POLITICAL ORATORY.

The man who starts out on the
of psychology to tackle. He address.
es a different audience than the one
which used to gather. In former
times a rally consisted of people ac-
oustomed to hear only one side. They
usually read only one newspaper,
which never printed speeches by op-
ponents. This audience would swal.
low anything and cheer 1t.
Many Of the speeches are now made
on the streets or at railroad stations.
The audience is from Missouri and
demands to be shown. 1t will not ac-
cept half truths and unsupported as"
sertion. II a statement is manifest
ly unjust, it hurts the party that
makes 1t.
Party ties hang loose. Most people
read speeches and opinions from all
points of view. They know that
there are good men in all parties that
each has its own weakness and makes
its own typical mistakes.
And yet a speaker has to be positive
to be firm in his own convictions.
He is not called on to tell the weak
points of MS own case any more than
is the lawyer who IS addressing a
jury. Perhaps the reason why polit
ical oratory seems poor nowadays is
not so much that the speakers have
declined in effectiveness. They have
to measure up to greater level Of
intelligence in their audience.
At all hazards a speaker must seem
fair. He must be thorough stud
ent of public affairs. II so, he can
find plenty of weaknesses in the re.
cord Of his opponents. He can safe.
" dwell on those to his hearts con-
tent. But the moment he makes a
statement that he can't back up, the
moment that he utters an unjust
slur, that moment he has slam
med his audience in the face, and in
suited its reason and discrimination.

Training Department Free.

No tuition fees will be charged
from now on to students attending
the ninth grade of the junior high
school operated as a part of the Uni,
yersity OF Utah training department.
Students from anywhere in the state
are eligible and welcome to attend
this school for their secondary work.
Residents of Salt Lake City will be
charged the same fees as are charged
at the city high schools, but pupils
whose homes are outside the city will
be admitted free. The junior high
will start when the city higs schools
begin their work, September 9Th, and
will not walt for the regular college
year TO begin.

In addition to the above over 100
statesmen were sent out by the vari-
Gus factories.
The Quality Of Goods
It need hardly be said that the
quality of goods produced by the
knitting factories of Utah are equal
II not superior to any of its kind on
the market. The very fact that the
industry has grown to its present ex-
tent and that the goods are sought
In all of the western states, tells its
own story. The present year bids
fair to surpass all previous years. All
the factories are preparing for, and
are expecting a larger output than
that OF any previous year. While
the present world war has its iniiu
ence indirectly, directly 1t has but
little effect on the industry, other
than making 1t more difficult to OBJ
tain suitable materials. 1t is, how
ever, fact that eastern factories are
receiving orders from some OF the
warning nations, resulting in less
competition by eastern houses to our
state industries.
Location Of Factories
There are In Logan four factories
employing on an average Of thirty
hands each. There are two wide
awake knitting factories in Ogden
and five in Salt Lake City, and one
in Provo, making total of twelve
As previously stated, there are 9th
ers, but they can hardly be counted
among the real factories.
Although the people of the state
are not patronizing the industry as
they should, the outlook is good II
our people realized that to buy goou
goods is the cheapest investment
they would soon be convinced that
the articles made by Utah knitting
factories because superior In qualify
are cheaper than goods shopped III
and picked up because they were APP
parently cheap.

UTAH'S KNITTING INDUSTRY

additional states, and about sixty
hanas were employed by the knitting
Industry. Later on, the writer was
instrumental in establishing the Og.
deIf Knitting Works, and the same
year the Salt Lake Knitting Works.
There are now twelve to fifteen
factories in the state. The reason
that / give an indefinite number is
from the fact that two or three re.
ferred to could hardly be called fac.
tories, as they import much of their
knit wear and sell 1t as Utah made.
Our Present Market
Last year, being twenty-five years
since the birth OF the knitting indus.
try, over one hundred agents were
travelling soliciting orders for Utah
knit wear in the following states:
Minnesota, North and South Dakota,
Montana, Washington, Oregon, Idaho.
Wyoming. California, Nevada, Arizo-
"", ANSN .hSAito, anu parts Oh pTltlSu
Columbia in addition to our own
state.
Amount OF Business Done
Last year the knitting industry of
this state manufactured $647,779 80
knit goods. There was paid out for
labor slO2 ,612,5 % 1.3 per cent of
the above products was sold within
the limits OF our own state, while
rs 2.3 per cent was sold in other
states. Thus 1t will be seen that
$4,000 were brought into the states
from knit wear shipped out OF the
state as a result OF the knitting in
dustry.
Number Employed
1t is a little difficult to ascertain
the exact number of knitters employ
ed by the various knitting mills, but
as near as can be ascertained there
