conservation of wool is

perceptible even to the most careless
onlooker.
The trade sings the refrain of one of our
popular war songs, "Do Something, Do Some
thing, Do What You Can" An appeal must
be made to the public. It cannot be made with
any success the sound and conservative
basis of selling clothes to those who need them
as protection from winter cold. That par
ticular kind of trading long since ceased to
exist Exploitation, stimulation and adver-
tising are necessary during each month of the
year except October and May. in order to lure
the coin from the purse Of the public.
This month Of January witnesses the annual
performance of stirring stunts to keep the
women interested in the question of apparel
heretofore, the traders have had two excel
lent pegs on which to hang new clothes at
this time Of the year-the exodus to Palm
Beach and the incoming Of midseason French
fashions
But this January the trade has added a
third peg to the row on which the two others
were placed They have had sop thrown to
them by the government In the nature of a
request to make gowns out Of as little wool
as possible, and they have pledged themselves
in body to keep within the az yard meas
urement for suit or gown.
This third peg was an actual stimulus to
production. 1t offered broad white way to
exploitation. 1t fairly bubbled and seethed
with advertising possibilities. It was taken
up by the trade eagerly as a brilliant phrase
of statesman is caught up by the multitude
