TO THE RETAIL CLOTHIERS OF THE
UNITED STATES


COUNCIL OF NATIONAL DEFENSE.
Washington September "a. 1917
DEAR SIRS: We wish to call to your
attention the recommendations that this board
has issued to all the clothing and garment
manufacturers In the United States. These
recommendations are:
First That the spring season OF 1918
clothing manufacturers should avoid excess
i've multiplicity of styles, combining themselves
to the number of models actually required by
the trade
Second. That they should avoid models
which use cloth for needless adornments, such
belts on coats.
Third. That they should use cloth, In
so far possible in which reworked wool or
cotton is in part substituted for new WOOL
Careful investigation shows that there is
IA serious shortage of wool, so that economy
in its use will be urgently necessary The
Government is equipping its fighting forces
with garments containing substantial quanu-
ties OF wool substitutes Under these circum-
stances we are confident that the civilian
population will not demand or expect CLOTH
ing made entirely from new wool.
We are relying upon the earnest cooper
concentrations effective. Already many cloth
ing manufacturers have assured the board OF
their whole-hearted co-operaton and, as q
war measure we expect you to purchase Tor
the spring season of 1913 only such styles
as are consistent with these recommendations.
Yours, very truly,
COMMERCIAL ECONOMY BOARD,
COUNCIL OF NATIONAL DEFENSE.

Abolish tho Grade Crossing.

Kansas City Star: So many motor
cars have been wrecked and lives
lost at railway crossings in Georgia
that the legislature Of that state Is
considering the passage Of a law to
compel all drivers of motor vehicles
to come to dead stop before under
taking to cross railroad track. The
statesmen Of Georgia agree that II
all drivers stop, look and listen, &C
cidents of this kind could be prevent
ed. Even the Atlanta Constitution
says: "A train cannot sneak up on
an alert autoist unheard, If his motor
car engine is stilled SO he can hear.
Is the esteemed Constitution sure
about that? Many persons crossing
railway tracks on foot have been
killed. They were certainly not
making noise enough to down the
roar of an approaching train And,
before the days of motor cars, fully
as many, If not a greater number OF
persons, were killed and MANNED in
horse drawn vehicles at these grade
crossings, and a great many are yet
killed In buggies and wagons.
A law compelling every driver to
stop, look and listen may be a good
thing, so long as grade crossings are
permitted to exist. But why not
abolith the grade crossing altogether
sid make sure OF safely?

Marrying by Proxy.

Mason City GlobeGazette: Marry
ing by proxy is nothing new, although
it is by no means frequent in America.
In France. before the war, such a
thing was almost unknown, and only
now, in tho great extremely, is mar
rage by proxy coming into vogue. Not
that It Is popular. but it is a necessity,
for very often the "happy bridegroom
cannot be spared from the trenches
long enough to permit him to attend
his own wedding. Not alone this, but
Che French war minister has arranged
that prisoners Of war may be married
in this fashion. But don't think for a
moment that marrying by proxy Is a
simple thing in France. The most
scrupulous vigilance is exercised by
the authorities over the papers and
documents that enter into the accom-
p1ishment of such a marriage. The
soldier is protected in every possible
manner, 80 that he may not come
home from the war and find himself
married to a woman he has never
seen or heard Of. Naturally there will
be a lot of mixups and perhaps We will
see some delightful comedies on the
stage later on, the plots Of which are
built around marriage by proxy.

The Actual Coal Cost.

Cedar Rapids Republican: IN the
test case in which the state OF Iowa
itself was concerned, 1t was shown for
the coal operators that their costs at
the mouth of the mine had increased
about so cents ton since the begin
ming of the war-and that allowance
included some additional profits for
the mine owners as well as providing
for all the additional wages and costs
of mining and operating. That means
that If so cents had been added to the
cost Of the coal there would have been
ample compensation. But the public
would have stood for even Is or 80

cents more to satisfy the greed OF
those who want to make their fortunes
while the war is on, but when it comes
to advancing coal from $1.35 to $3.50
at the mines, that is the time the peo-
pie have a right to begin to kick and
kick hard. There Is no reason why a
few men should accumulate such
wealth out of the nations necessities,
that they should coin such moneys
while others are offering their lives
for $50 a month. 1t Is not right and it
cannot be made right, and those who
are practicing such despoliaton, ought
