Of speculation was urged as necessary

that speculation often leads to money

1t was stated that credit was fnan-

with its attendant probable losses. might

Another important consideration was
the discussion of a national trademark.
Plans were laid to petition Congress to
enact a law for a national trademark,
which shall include the insignia Made

The proposed organization Of a coun-
Gil on war credits will be one OF the

Hoards Of Wool Discovered.
So.eiol Desootch TO The sus.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1s.-Two lots OF
wool containing thousands OF pounds.
which had been accommodating for many
years. have been discovered by Louis
PenwelI, chief of the wool section Of the
War Industries Board. and will be made
available for national consumption.
The wool was discovered on two old
farms, one In Massachusetts and the
other in Pennsylvania. One farmer had
been boarding his lot since the civil war
and the other had been accommodating his
portion for the last fifteen years. These
men are probably the only two in the
United States who have failed to re-
spond to the Governments wool regula-
tons.
On both farms every building was
crammed to capacity with wool, but a
great portion OF it Is 30 badly moth
eaten or otherwise damaged that 1t will
be UNIT for use.
All efforts to buy the wool so far
have proved useless, the owners refusing
to sell. 1t is likely that it will be COM
Wandered.

Neckwear Business a. Usual.

The neckwear industry has not suf-
fered because OF the popularity of the
collarless frock. according to information
gathered from various sources. The
changeableness Of the feminine mind is
said to have had much to do with this,
as woman's constant longing for some
thing different urges her after few
wearings to "freshen up" the collarless
dress. This freshening up process
usually is brought about by adding
something for neck adornment.
"Besides," said one dealer. "there are
comparatively few women who can
stand the harsh neck line of a collarless
frock, and they soon come to realize it."

= Scarcity Of labor and the increasing

the trade. Under the circumstances the
trend is for higher prices, but pur-
chasers are few. The fall business is
