PocKETLESS CLOTHES.
A SartorIaI Student Denies the Econ

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: The
rumored threat to eliminate mems
pockets as an economy in woollen cloth
is probably not intended to be taken
seriously. II It were. its absurdity must
be Immediately evident. as, of course.
pockets are not made OF woollen cloth.
II would be no saving to the buyer.
but an aeded proht to the maker and
the dealer; for the clothing without
pockets would cost as much as II those
indispensable receptacles were still
provided.
This ingenious process OF increasing
profits has been admirably illustrated
by the much exploited half length
drawers, which cost just as much as
full length. Think what a profit this
must represent on even a thousand
pairsl
But men wouldn't stand for the un-
en6urable inconvenience OF pocketless
clothes. They would buy only OF dealers
whose clothes had pockets--if there
were any. II not. they would buy under
indignant protest, and straightway take
their impossible garments to one OF the
many concerns which would be driving
a brisk trade in putting In pockets.
The net result would be a big profit
to manufacturers, dealers and pocket
makers. and a corresponding loss TO
buyers. T.. NJ

has been common knowledge for years
that the restaurants make less money

yet they will offer meat and Ash at

would order founder ut 40 cents as
against beef at 90 cents finds himself
ordering the beef because the fish

fish for 40 cents It is very likely that
he would also indulge in n salad, the

the better of the transaction, but the

anclen regime; their loyalty almost
as great to the vanished heur do lys
az to the trlcolor. They never were
British; they no longer are French.
To them the anti Catholicism Of mod
ern France Is anathema. Their parish
priest IL guide, philosopher and friend
to all and the most potent force in
shaping public opinion. It Is said that
the proponents Of CONSUMPTION erred
grievously In not enlisting this force
in their support Be that as II may, the
fact 10 that French Canada--which
sent 1900 volunteers to the front-is
antagonistic to compulsory service.
To others than the French Cana
dians a plausible ground for resis-
tance is offered by the anomalous con-
ditions under which this Parliament
Is sitting. Elected in 1011-at which
time of course no war issues were
discussed-it should have gone out Of
existence in 1916. But at that time,
through agreement on the part Of the
leaders of the liberal and Conserve
tive parties in the Dominion, the I'm
perlal Parliament extended the life of
the Dominion Parliament one year.
Even at the time OF that extension
the conscription was not in issue. To-
day party lines are broken upon II.
Premier BoRDEr is aggressively for It,
but not all the Conservatives followed
him In Thursdays voting. Sir WIZ
TRID LAUmER, Liberal leader, Is re-
servedly against 1t. but not all the
members Of his party supported hts
amendment calling for popular ref
erendum on the contested question,
which was beaten
The outcome of this struggle will
be watched with the utmost interest
In the United States. Except for the
technical disability charged against
the present Dominion Parliament the
advocates Of universal service in Can
ada have but few obstacles to meet
that we have not already overcome.
II they have their French citizens, we
have vastly greater body Of aliens,
or sons Of aliens, many OF them being
citizens of the nation with which we
are at war. The opposition in and
out of Congress to our selective draft
law was as determined as anything
manifested at Ottawa. Yet we ap-
proach the day Of aciual selection Of
the men to serve without any resis-
tance to the national policy that need
be dignified by consideration.
The Canadian advocates Of equal
and universal liability for military
service will find encouragement II
they look this way.
