WAR SUIT WORN
BY DENVER MAN !.
FOR ECONOM1|NG
Famous Denver Socialogists Sets An
Example in Practicing Economy
During the War.

DENVER. = Edwin A. Brown,
Denver sociologist and reputed a
millionaire, author of stores of men
who are "down and out" as a meas
ure of war time economy has an
nounced that he will wear only suits
of blue jeans, until the war ends.
He already has appeared in his new
garb at two Sunday services at the
First Presbyterian church, one of
the most fashionable in Denver.
Mr.. Browns first appearance at
church caused more than ordinary
attention to his clean and neatly
ironed "war suit" 1t drew almost
as much attention as the sermon his
fellow parishioners said.
Mr.. Brown says he made the
change from the conventional cloth

chasing a Liberty Bond" he said.
"a suit of the best cloth costs as
much or more than a Liberty Bond

give no thought to what they wear
or eat and that l could do likewise
and use the difference in the cost
of my clothing in buying bonds"
The Denver man has two suits
of the same material One he calls
his Society suit" This one always
is neatly Numbered. The other, of
the same material, he uses for work
in his war garden. 1t is of the
same material only not so well
ironed. 1t consists of trousers and
jumper, of the pattern worn mostly
by railroad enginmen and machin-
lists
"The best home manufactured
denim can be bought, overalls and
jumper for $3.50 a suit" said Mr..
Brown, "and a splendid quality of

the denim and neither shall | walk
in the alleys because of it."

With the American Army in
France-Though the American
troops have repeatedly made them
selves extremely popular by their
open-handed generosity to the nat

an artillery regiment to distinguish
itself especially in this respect.
The unit was quartered for some

NET AMOUNT DERIVED
AT CARD TOURNAMENT
TOTALS HANDSOME SUM

The net amount earned for the
benefit of the Red Cross Yarn fund
at the series of card games held
recently is $4,000, and the ladies
of the Nenana branch of the local
Red Cross, who gave the series Of
card parties and who worked very
hard to make it success, are to
be heartily congratulated at the re-
suit obtained.
The series of games, which in
cluded pan, hearts, auction bridge
and 500, were played at the
Adams building on A street, on four
different occasions, with an inter-
val of about week or so between
games. The use of the building was
donated by Mrs. Adams and tie
dainty and useful prizes awarded
the winners were donated by the
patriotic ladies of the Red Cross.
The series of games started on
June 10 and came to an end on
Wednesday, July 10th.

He was unanimously adopted by
the regiment, fed to a safety and
made the mascot and idol of the
men. The time came, however, very
recently, when the artillerymen had
to leave for front service. To take
the boy with them was out of the
question. He had been given the
nickname of "Pat" and they had
grown so attached to him that they
felt something must be done to as
sure his future.
So the men raised 1000 francs
with which "Pat" is to be cared for
in a home and given at least a rudi-
mentary education. They have
gone on to the front, possibly never
will see the little town again; but
the town, and "Pat" will not soon
forget them.

ITALIAN MONEY
IS LOWERED IN
VALUE BY WAR


citation of Italian money in foreign
markets, despite the establishment
by the government of the National
Institute of Exchange early this year
for the purpose of reducing specu-
lation in lire, has led to the pro-
posal that Italy's allies help her
by arbitrarily fixing the rate of
exchange, as it is claimed was done
with France.
AS Italy must import large guam
titles of war materials in order to
keep in the fight and as she mist
pay not only high current prices
but $3.50 of her money for every
dollar of material she buys it j:
pointed out that she IS carrying
more than her share of the war
burden.
Since the establishment OF the
control by the government of the
exchange, the price a dollar brings
in Italy has increased from $40 lire
to 900; lire being par value be-
fore the war. The government also
forbade the buying outside of Italy
of drygoods and like articles by
private companies, and since then
the price of all such necessities in
Italy has increased far beyond the
proportions of the exchange. A
yard of wool cloth that sold a year
ago for 20 lire is now priced at
60 or more lire, if it may be mad
at that price. The price Of 1cod
produced in Italy has also increased
to meet these advances. Vegetables
are almost as dear as meat, and
meat that sold a year ago for 3
lire the pound, now sells for lire.
The whole question of the ex-
change value of Italian money has
been discussed by a series of articles
from businessmen in the Popolo
Romano, attempting to locate the
causes of the depreciation of Italian
money with the purpose of finding
a remedy. In these articles it is
agreed that the depreciation has not
been caused by the increased issues
of paper mony since the war. it
is argued that English and French
paper money, as related to the gold
reserve of these nations, has been
issued in greater proportions than
that of Italy, which has between
rs and 80 per cent gold reserve.
Germany, it is stated, has but
IA per cent of gold as compared
to her paper issues, her gold reserve
being this high because of her ina
bility to buy abroad.
Yet Italy's money has far lower
buying value than the money of
those countries. In Switzerland it
takes 215 lire to buy 100 francs.
1t is further argued that Italy's
large balance of imports over her
exports does not explain her diff
culties, as in both France and Eng.
land the same disproportion exists
d" 1t is asserted that if Italy, before
she went to war, had made a bar
gain with her allies regarding he,
exchange she would not now be al
