TRAFFIC DELAY HAS

New York, Feb. 23.-Dun's weekly
review Of trade tomorrow will say:
Partial relief from the traffic con-
gestion has bettered the position of
business though progress in many di-
rections continues hindered by the

supplies OF raw materials still affects
most industries adversely and not a
little machinery is idle, while distri-
button of the necessities is mpeded
and the strength Of prices intentified.
Obstacles in overseas shipping also
restrict the export movements and
the doubts about foreign affairs make
for general caution in entering upon
engagements for the future. Unlike
the recent experience. demands are
mainly confined to immediate REQUIRE
ments and speculative tendencies are
discouraged: yet federal contracts ac-
centuate the pressure on producing
forces and consumption OF staple
products 10 sustained in largo volume,

and look at the lettuce, the radishes,

raising.
One head of lettuce examined by
the reporter would just about cover

The turnips are succulent, and the

Pictures of Gowns Make Index
For Stars.

In order to save the trouble of GO
ing through a long list of wardrobes
and large number of trunks when
ever she wants the proper costume
for scenes in her photoplays, Gladys
Brockwell, noted William Fox star,
has constructed a unique method of
indeXing all of her gowns, shoes,
hats, cloaks and wraps. Miss Brock
we'll has had photographs made of all
of them, and prints of these pictures
are pasted in a large catalogue book,
where they can be reached imme-
diately.
All Gowns Are Numbered.
Thus, when the charming actress,
who is appearing in Her Tempta-
tion," desires to dress for a ball room
scene, she turns to that part of her
volume devoted to evening gowns. All
the Photographic prints have been
painted by hand in their original col
ors, so that it needs only moments
glance at the picture to tell whether
it would be suitable.
After she has selected the costume
she thinks most suitable for the pic
lures, she indicates it to her maid
Each picture is numbered, and the
gowns are arranged with correspond
ing numbers, so that finding one is q
matter of only few minutes.
Shoes, hats and wraps are filed in
exactly the same fashion, and pho
tographs of them are also cata.
logued. Thus when she is costumine
herself for a party Miss Brockwel
saves many hours for more pleasant
work.

Lansbury on Poverty

george LansDury makes q straightfor-
ward and frank inquiry into social ana
economic problems Of life in Your Part in
Poverty" He takes as his thesis the divers
responsibilities of various activities and
agencies in the ever-present question OF the
poor and that of the alleviation of their
distress His book is an examination OF
and a plea for betterment
The book is sympathetic, sane, carefully
moderate In statement and suggestion, A

of the condition Of the tolling proletariat
of today and It's struggles in lettering its
social status, A point IL made OF the
new angles Of the labor situation protected
by the war Another chapter considers the
present position of women and children.

domestic sides Of this topic are considered.
Business affords the text for the third

deeds and tendency are scored and sugges-
tions of remedial nature are made The
point is also made that business suffers
certain ills from the present construction
OF the social fabric. In conclusion is a
stimulating chapter in which Mr.. Lans-
