The Precise Meaning
of and Cause for Cut
Prices and Clear
anCe Sales
BY j. r. HAMILTON
Former Advertising Manager Of Wanamakers, Philadelphia

When suit of clothes marked down from $50
to $780, you generally that the merchant
stocked But when you cut price diamond or dining
chair other staple article less responsible for its sale to
STYLE you apt question the legitimacy of that SALE
Therefore the following facts which will be A. to
buyer and merchant will probably be interesting to
Aside from the that merely lies about its prices and
the store that cuts the figures trivial article as bait
there are four contributing causes for cut price
which people already understand OF COURSE
buyer tell just what pattern OF suit
what color in fabric going be most popular so
that any ARTICLE is not eagerly bought it
price, The for this is too evident
dwell upon.
The second is the financial one. Every merchant
allows himself each of his buyers just much money FOR
every goods carried For example, shoe department
which is allowed $4,000 upon which to do business must do
capital The buyer be in the market
for new goods certain of the If his capital
all tied up in old he will be able to buy stock
have ready capital at the OF
profits.
The your mental effect the people who have
goods The moment you the public do not buy
article that article Immediately loses value in the of
the who selling it, Again and again the buyer
obliged to cut the price of perfectly good merchandise simply
because you the public have made his saesfOce lose faith
in it. The moment you won't buy it they can't sell it,
The fourth is the interest the investment stores
made by the number of times is able to its stock
The greatest dread of stock which
turn Some merchants have figured that pays them

merchants do this with such staple rising value
diamonds themselves.
These the four laws clearance sales and cut prices
and knowing them, should advertising eagerly

THE ADVANCE IN
GASOLINE

Resolutions are pouring into Con-
gress demanding an investigation Of
the high rrice of gasoline. Tie pc
titioners are quite different element
from those who have previously pro
tested against price advances. Many
Of the gasoline users have been quite
calm while meat. grains, and fuel
have been mounting upward. 1t is
a politically influential element, that
Congress cannot afford to ignore.
or course this advance is at least
partly due to the law of supply and
demand. The consumption of gaso.
line has multiplied, while supply has
remained stationary or has declined,
though reopening of the Mexican and
Russian wells would nelp out.
Whether or not the gasoline FRO.
ducers can be reached under the an.
thrust law Is a matter that Congress
should thoroughly investigate. Even
IL they cant, IL will be poor policy
for the producers to push their ad.
vantage too far. They should re.
member that scientists and manufac'
turers are already actively at work
to find satisfactory fuel oil at a
lower cost.
At present such substitutes as de.
natured alcohol, kerosene, etc, may
cost too high. or In some cases may
clog motors with vast eproducts. But
every cent the gasoline people tack
on their price simply stimulates these
efforts for a substitute, which one
day are almost sure to be successful
For the present 1t looks as II the
motor user must adjust himself to
somewhat higher prices. People OF
moderate means would do well, In
estimating the cost of a machine, to
make a liberal allowance for fuel oil
They can Offset 1t by buying less ex
pensive cars. The CHEAPER makes
may not be able to take hills on high
speed. They may be bit tinny.
hut people should not be so soft that
they can't stand a little jolting. They
should remember that the pioneer
automobile users were bound
around in costly cars that on the
whole are inferior to many cheaper
makes of today. And all the time
they were g;oriously enjoying the
sport

ABUSES OF COLLEGE
ATHLETICS

There Is q tempest of discussion
over abuses of college athletics.
These questions were threshed out
by the National Collegiate Athletic
Association at their meeting this
week. with ex.President Taft as
leading speaker. Whether the as
ISOLATION will accomplish any posi-
tive results remains to be seen.
American youth does not enter
sport for the impersonal satisfaction
of the trained skill of eye and hand ,
1t is a problem OF defeating dreaded
rival colleges, which must be met or
disgrace accepted. II man who Is
practically professional can be cap
tured, there are devious ways enough
of passing him along. The system
with which the prep school field Is
canvassed for recruits is exceeded by
nothing in the line of efficiency eX.
cept the recruiting organization of
the German army.
Perhaps the greatest abuse is that
athletic training is so much concen-
trated on the demigods of the vars
ity team, while the great majority
of the students do not get systemat'
ic physical culture. Time spent yell
ing on the grandstands, or discussing
the latest details about the pitchers
throwing arm, Is not time spent In
physical development.
Much could be said for a system In
which college students would be re-
quired to spend period OF time
daily in some active sport. Many OF
the boys would become so keenly In
terested In the problem OF developing
their own skill. that the interest In
the welfare of the team should lose
q little of it's abnormal fever.

FORMALiTY IN DRESS
CLOTHES

1t is an interesting question for de
bate, whether social customs as re-
spects clothes are growing more for
NAL and conventional or not. AS re
srects the women in the circles call
ed Society, selection of clothes seems
more than ever governed by fixed
rules of style and etiquet. OF course
there are many mi lions OF less con
spicuous working women, who dress
for comfort and common sense. But
as soon as people acquire some mon
cy and leisure, the tendency seems
strong to pay down great deal of
good money for dressmakers capable
Of producing style and to follow the
most exotic and impractical models.
1t is therefore rather pleasant to
note the very large number of gradu
ating classes of girls who are now
adays agreeing to wear simple and
inexpensive gowns for Commence
ment festivities. 1t is the only suit
able arrangement for the sohoo of
democratic country.
Men are certainly much less con.
ventional and formal than women
or course there is period in the
life of the youth, when he delights
himself figuratively speaking in pur-
pie and fine linen. In many small
country towns. the young bloods feel
they must now have a dress suit
and perhaps also tuxedo outfit.
Among mature men, the tendency
Is certainly strong toward comfort
able clothes rather than arbitrary
styles. Formerly many business men
felt a plug nat necessary. Now you
are much more likely to see one on
the young bank clerk than the bank
president, on the Indian doctor or
circus agent rather than on the sue
cessful manufacturer. Even the semi
formal derby is less in favor than
comfortable soft hats, which can be
dropped on the floor without catas
tropne, and do not blow off the head
in every winter wind.
To most men cothes are but a
mere incident Of life. Anything that
will look neat and feel comfortable
in busy life is the ideal. Conven'
tional ferns are sure to be swept
away as remnants of the decorative
and archaic medieval life when men
wore powdered wigs and plush knee
breeches.

ABOUT SINKING Of LINERS
Crisis is Faced by Congress-Leaders
Are Inclined to Proceed Cautious
ly-Will Consult President.

Washington, Jan. 3 .-Congress reas
selnbles tomorrow in the midst of an
international situation which rival
political leaders admitted tonight
was one of the most critical that
mas confronted the nation. Return
ing members talked of little but con.
sequences that might result from the
sinking of the British steamer Per.
STA in the Mediterranean with loss
of American life and the strained
diplomatic relations between the Uni.
ted States and Austria.
Although administration leaders
were uniformly inc 'ined to proceed
cautiously and to await positive in.
formation, there was general feel
ing of uneasiness among senators and
representatives over the gravity of
foreign affairs.
War Inquiry Proposed
Senator Stone, chairman of the
Senate foreign relations committee
conferred with Secretary Lansing at
the state department today and will
seek conference with President
Wilson before meeting of the com.
mittee Is held Wednesday to begin
consideration of matters pertaining
to the diplomatic affairs Of the ma
ton. 1t seems assured that the com
mittee will take up the resolution
submitted by Senator Hoke Smith
calling for an inquiry into Great
Britain's interference with neutral
commerce and the amendment by
Senator Lodge to investigate destruc'
ton Of the Lusitania, and other acts
by belligerents resulting in destruc'
ton of American lives.
'Of course We must consider those
resolutions said Senator Stone to-
night. They are on the calendar and
must be disposed of. do not know
the sentiment Of the committee. but
l see no objection to Congress hay
ing all information called for in the
resolution Of Senator Smith or the
amendment by Senator Lodge"

Treaties to Be Pressed

Senator Stone also discussed with
Mr.. Lansing the long pending Mica
raguan and Colombian treaties, con-
corning which there still Is persist.
ent opposition by some senator's, in.
GLIDING Republican members of the
foreign relations committee. The Mis-.
souri, senator wants these treaties
disr osed of one way or another If
1t is apparent that opposition is over
whelming, 1t is proposed to discover
this as soon as possible so that furth-
er time may not be wasted in at.
tempting to force their ratification.
Another subject of discussion was
the nomination of Henry P. Fletch.
er to be ambassador to Mexico. Sen
atcr Borah, a member Of the commit.
tee, will strenuously oppose Mr..
Fletcher's confirmation on the ground
that no ambassador to Mexico should
be named by the United States until
conditions in the southern republic
are more settled.

WANTS TO LEAD THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY

President Wilson wants to commit
the Republicans of Congress in ad-
vance to the defense bills that are
not yet introduced.
Mr.. Wilson's own party has Gear
majority in both Houses; but owing
to the embarrassing fact that Mr..
Wilson Is not leader of all the Dem
ccratic party. perhaps not of half
the Democratic party, ne asrires to
be leader Of the Republican party.
A high and nob'e aspiration. But
1t is too late for Mr.. Wilson to as.
sumo such a function after having
been for years assailing the party he
now attempts to lead. 1t is too soon
after the indianapolis speech in
which he insulted the Republican par
ty. 1t is too close to the approaching
time when the Republicans will as
semble around some leader of their
own choosing.
If man is going to have to fight
Bryan he would naturally prefer to
fight MIN with the Republican forces
that beat him three times. The Dem.
ocrat who fights Bryan does not get
very far. So there is nothing per.
picking in Mr.. Wilson's longing for
Republican leadership But the next
Republican leaders will be men who
have been faithful to Republicanism.
