 says: "The government cannot force men to dig coal or men to move trains with all the soldiers in the world" MT. Lee is right. The government has TO such intention or purpose. No one wants. the army used in that way. and MT. Lee understands it perfectly. He does not in the least fear such exercise of power. What he does fear is that through the protection given indepen- dent workers will take the places of those who throw up their jobs when they strike. MT. Lee is rather moro than Intentionally dishonest if while insisting on the right of a man to strike, which is nothing more than quitting, he denies the equal right of another man to take the place that Is vacated. It is this right that the sol- diers will see is maintained and re- spected.-Bristol Press.

 The chaplain was late in reaching the house on Saturday and Speaker Gillett surprised the members by say ing simply, T will ask the house to join in the Lords prayer" whereupon by a sharp tap of the gavel he called the house to order and led the prayer. It was the first time in the history of congress that such thing has hap pened but the speaker performed the duty with as much ease and dignity as If he had not broken a century old precedent in order to save the house from embarrassment by delayed opening of the session.

 Colonel John Ward who has just re- turned to London from Siberia, where he commanded a battalion of British troops which helped to overthrow the Bolshevik power there, says. Tn my opinion the only chance for democra cy in Russia lies in the success of Kolchak. His attitude on the land question shows that he is not the re- actionary he has been represented. He sees clearly that the distribution of big estates among the peasantry can not be interfered with.
 Tt is proposed that those land own CTS who have survived Bolshevisu shall be given compensation for the land they have lost but there is no idea of restoring the land to them

Styles for Children Sho,Un
For Benefit Of Buyers

The first chidren's fashion show
took place last night at the Bush
Terminal Building under auspices of
the international Buyers Club. 1t was
for buyers Of children's clothing who
are in the city. The child mannequins
who displayed the rompers, overalls,
Peter Rabbit gowns and other juvenile
creations were mostly stage children.
The Peter Rabbit gown is an overall
variation with rabbits head on the
bib, a bit of tail where rabbits wear
Tho and hat on which is embroid-
cred the countenance of a bewhiskered
bunny. Ovcralls, it was evident, are to
be quite the thing for little girls as
we'll as for boys.
Rompers also will be worn almost
universally by the younger set. They
have advanced to the point where they
have developed lacy frills and are suit
able for evening wear at informal
affairs.
All the garments shown were not just
for play or work, however. There were
dozens of frlly gowns which every
little girl must have in her wardrobe
There were, dress-up suits of white
linen and silk and other fancy ma
terlals which all little boys despisc.
Among the models were Madge Evans,
Grace Finlay, Helen Chandler, Miriam
Battista, Rosa Hilsenraud, Jane Her
ron, Jaqueln Bernam and Dorothy
Foulk. The show will be repeated

tional Custom Cutters Association,
now in convention at the Commodore
Hotel.

have begun bossing the matter of
mems clothes while most Of them are
yet overseas. The male raiment of

Mr.. Levy attributed the comeback Of
the small derby to the helmets the
boys have been wearing, the helmets
being comparatively small and worn
low over the head. The acceptance
of spats. he went on to say, was made
possible only by the fact that the BOYS
have seen the English wearing 'em.
Police Commissioner Enright and
Ellis Parker Butler spoke at the ban

session of the convention it was an
nounced that the association shortly

cause the women's tailors are, through

the latest changes in fashions"
The associations style bureau will
keep its members all over the country
posted as to style variations. Once this
style bureau gets to working, Mr.. Levy
added, it will be impossible to spot

he comes to town.

The Day of the Lady Buyer

In their iniiltration into industry
women find few other places in whicn
they ae so temperamentally st home
as in buyers Offices Even men buyers
admit that many of their sisters sur
pass them as purchasers of ready-to-
wear goods which are ultimately con-
sumed by members of their own sex
For the last five years the proportion
of women to men in this kind of buy,
ing has increased tremendously, ana
now the women dominate the field.
lntuitivelys they are able TO get me
feel of merchandise and TO interpres
in advance the taste of retail custom.
crs. OF course, the ideal buyer does
not act according to his own taste anO
Judgment solely. hut according tc ms
conception of the taste Of customers
The buyer must serve as the link pc
tween the consumer and the producel..
studying both the Wholesale marAe'
and the retail preferences.

Cotton

Cotton turned weak on the late trad
ing yesterday. the market closing un~
changed to 55 points. Old crop con-
tracts were relatively the weaker, clos
ing at the lowest levels of the day,
with the active months showing net
losses of about IS to "a points. May
contracts sold up from 21.9S to 22.4Sc
during the earlier trading and closed
at 22.02c. On the closing decline there
was increased Southern selling and
also selling for Western account.
The market opened with prices 26
points lower to 10 points higher. New
Orleans was an active seller here at
the start, but otherwise there appeared
10 be little or no pressure from South
ern sources, and the offerings were
we'll taken around the initial figures.
Trade interests were among the buy
ers. while there was also considerable
support from local spectators and Gov
cring of shorts on the rally, which
carried active months about 20 to %
points net higher during the middle
of the day. The volume of business
then tapered off.
Liverpool was q moderate buyer Of
May and July on the early decline.
Reports that more operatives were at
work in the Lawrence mills than there
had been on the previous day were cir
culating on the rally from the opening
prices, but were not an important fac
tor.
Better Spot Demand
According to some of the local spot
brokers, there is good demand for
better grades of white cotton, but such
supplies are offered sparingly. and
shippers are slow to sell, owing to un-
certainty regarding the basis on which
they may have to pay to secure the
cotton.
Southern spot markets as officially
reported were 25 points lower to 20
points higher, most of them being un-
changed. There were no exports yes
terday, but clearances are expected to
show a sharp increase for the end Of
the month and become heavy during
March.
The local market for spot cotton was
quiet and 25 points lower, at 27.20c
for middling upland, compared with
27.45c the day before and 31.60c the
year before. The rance CT prices fol-
