The condition in England Is much
better than II is here. Dyes are, much
cheaper there. They get their dyestuffs
from Switzerland and buy our dyestuffs

Mr.. Metz quoted me some figures show

are simply amazing, such increases, for
Instance, as thirty cents a pound before

Secretary Redfield recently reported tc
the President that foreign-made under.
wear was going out OF fashion and that
American-made garments were monopo-

statement made to me the other day

of mems underwear are now advertising

have found that men rarely buy their

Like Insurance In Europe.
Life insurance men have been holding
convention In New York. Mr.. r. E
DodelI. secretary of the meeting. naively
informed me that they are placing very
few life insurance policies in Europe just
now. That's not to be wondered at. The
policies have a war clause which stipu,
lstes that the holder is only entitled tc
the return Of the premiums he has paid
That isn't very alluring.
Mr.. Newcomb Carlton, president of tn,
Western Union Telegraph Company. ere
ated some excitement recently by stating
that he had learned that q former non.
commissioned officer in the United States
army stationed at Panama had stoer
the plans of the canal fortihcations
bought his discharge and gone back Il
his native land to serve in the war. II,
need not have gone to all that trouble
Any one who has been to Panama knows
that there is no secret about the PLAN
Of the fortihcations. It's a matter o.
common comment Any one who want
to take the trouble can go and see wha
is being done. There Is no secret abou
1t.
Mr. Carlton has recently made a toul
through the South and West, and hal
been absorbing public sentiment in thos,

think of othey things to any extent"
I cannot agree with Mr.. Carlton.

Mankinds passionate quest for justice,
which began soon after the expulsion of

was on his way to Baltimore to attend
the automobile show.
It is understood that the Rutherford
Rubber Company. manufacturers ol
the Rutherford tire. is contemplating
the opening of branch house In
Washington. 1t will more than likely
be located on upper Fourteenth street
From those who went to Baltimore
on Tuesday night, the opening night
of the automobile show, the opinion is
that it is well worth making trip
to the Monumental City to see. A large
number of the exhibits shown at the
New York show are on display and
most everything that was at Philadei-
phia is being displayed. If the weather
moderates before the end OF the week
there will be quite a number from
among the local motoring fraternity
who will drive over, otherwise they
will take the train.
Considerable comment has been made
on the reason for the tire companies
that is the so-called standard companies
advancing their price only ten per cent
on standard sizes, while the increase
on the odd sizes was raised almost TWEEN
ty-five per cent. The exact reason, oil
course, is for the companies themselves
to give. But the idea among all the
tire manufacturers of late years has
been to reduce the number of sizes oi
tires that they have been building. When
automobiles first were built, the manu-
facturer used whatever sized wheels he
thought would best suit his car; in other
words, he built the car first and the
wheels afterwards. Naturally, the tire
companies competing for business agreed
to furnish tires to suit. This worked
a hardship not only on the companies
themselves but on the dealers who han
died their goods. They were required to
build molds for tire sizes that did not
prove ready sellers and to carry these
sizes in stock at their various branches
when there was practically no call for
them. The dealer, IL he wanted to have
a full stock of the different sizes. was
likewise obliged to tie up money In
something that was apt to lay on his
shelves for some time.
This matter was taken up by the So.
ciety of Automobile Engineers and they
decided on certain sizes that would come
very close to fitting the needs of the
four hundred manufacturers Of cars In
this country. The manufacturer, in most
instances, saw that it would be to his
benefit to follow their suggestion. To
day cars are coming through with tires
Of a size that can be had from most
any dealer, large or small, who makes
the least pretense of carrying stock
of tires. As a result, the tires do not
age on the hands of the factory or the
dealer The man who Is unfortunate
enough to have a machine that is equip
ped with an odd-sized tire will hence
forth be compelled to pay for the ad-
ditional trouble and expense that his
dealer is put to in carrying his size.
Most of the cars using odd sizes are OF
old models and the fact that there Is
a considerable increase in the price will
be strong reminder to the owner that
the next time he goes out to buy q
motor car he will be certain that his
tire size is popular one.

There is District regulation pro-

Inasmuch as the average motorist
while he may have an eye for dis
tance, cannot as a rule determine, Of

has been suggested that the District
officials place a white line on the curb
fifteen feet from each hydrant, there
