MEANS OPEN DOOR
NOT FREE TRADE

WASHINGTON Jan. 14-The "open
door" for trade is what President
Wilson meant when in his war aims
address he urged the removal Of eco
nomic barriers.
This explanation was given today
by a high official, who added that the
president could not have had in mind
absolute free trade and the abolition
of national tariffs.
"Eevery belligerent nation will need
a lot of money for long time after
the war;" he said This beyond
dispute. No nation is likely to turn
its back upon the tariff as a revenue
producer for some time to come"
The application of this principle
would have the effect of making ev-
cry nation favored" eliminating the
disputes and jealousies which have
arisen in the past from preferential
treatment

CAMBRIDGE, Jan 15.-All mem

LONDON, Jan. 15.-An observer OF
first hand who left Germany in the

conditions in Berlin, both economic
and political.
THE situation in Berlin" he said,
sis absolutely awful. For the great

any light, warmth, clothing or shoes,

Now that women feel it a duty to
make afternoon gowns do service for
evening wear, the ingenuity of costum-
ers Is put TO the test. From one of
the great Paris designers comes the
lovely gown pictured above and it is
triumph Of French discernment and
good taste; for it is quiet enough for
daytime wear and distinguished
enough for evening. 1t is of black
satin with embroidery in silver thread.
This combination appears also in
French millinery from the most au-
thoritative sources, but in hats black
frame velvet is used instead of satin.
We may accept this gown as critic
rion in hues and general make up of
styles for the coming season. 1t has
narrow, plain underskrt of moderate
length and straight hanging overgar-
,nent vaguely confined to the figure by
an easy girdle terminating in sash
ends. The girdle is made of satin

ends are plain. The skirt portion Of

He too, is going about, using his pas

ways, taking the place Of the "cir-

Likewise the lawyer, the judge. the

their duties.
Another significant fact is that the
classification, public Service" shows
that, comprising as it does IL per cent
Of the population, it contains 1.6 per
cent of the automobile owners. This
branch is composed of city ana county
officials, mail carriers and men in the
employ Of city, state or national gov
eminent. Many of these men must
cover a wide area in their duties and
it is here that the motor car is help
ing.
Helps to Speed Up Industry.
The manufacturing industry affords
another or our vast resources. This
classification covers the factory own
er, contractor, baker, blacksmith, and
their operatives. This branch repre-
sents total of 27.9 per cent of the
total population of the country and yet
shows only 1O.1 per cent of the auto
mobiles owned.
Located in the cities, industry is not
so dependent upon the automobile, and
still every motor car in this great
branch is doing its part In speeding
up production. In the business com
munity having 1900 automobiles 1t is
safe to say that each one in service
will save an hour a day. This would
mean that such a community is 125
working days ahead every day. Carry
these figures to the 100000 registered
automobiles in the country and it
means that the nation is 625,OOO work
ing days ahead every day in time
