 War has taught us economy. Econ omy in clothes lies not in shabby gar ments but in garments suitable to the occasion. Beware of the Solomon-in- au-his-glory clothes. They last but a day. Beware of shifting styles which, like rolling stones, don't stay long enough to even gather moths. Re- member economy lies in good sub stantial styles. Good styles are last ing even though they may not be the very latest note from Paris.

TENDENCY FOR
 LESS FURNITURE

On those wild escapades so often occurring in the troubled life of Mary Stuart, no matter how hurried the flight her householod furniture, such as 1t was, usually accompanied her. True, there was not a great deal of 1t, but probably as much as the aver age English family of her period possessed. The chief possession was a bed, from which she was seldom parted, Doubtless the greater part of her other possessions consisted of rugs and hangings.
 That nomadic creature, the Arab, silently folds his tent and as silently steals awaya, but, many of the feudal households were nearly as capable of this as the Arab, says the New York Herald.
 What q relief 1t would be when contemplating moving to have prac- tically nothing to move but 8 bed or 50, a table and for the rest noth- ing but tapestries, rugs and hangings easily folded! Of this the usual fur niture of the feudal lords consisted.
 Not until after the end of the Mid dle Ages did the use of the multipll- city of articles of furniture as are known now spring into use. Whether LHe WelSHL or Ine amount furniture since considered necessary for every family to acquire has turned Ameri- cans into a sedentary people or o4'whether they acquire furniture be- "a cause they are of sedentary habits. Is mo- matter for serious reflection. Were the+ not for the difficulty of transfer &1 Ting household possessions 1t is cer- tain that many fairly stationary as 1t is would shortly acquire the rowing dispositions now only possible when tr.ep possessed with an abundance or else VI his Genniless tramp. In these two one-tJ,es alone can the present day in shar"'idual hope to travel in comfort .aco. AS it is, there is again decided tendency toward less furniture, and if this continues freedom may once 1 more be hoped for. Once accustomed d 10 doing without chairs to sit upon more than half the problem would be solved. This may seem as if i'm posing a hardship upon humanity, but until a very late date humanity seems to have managed to get on very well without this symbol of effete cIvili- zation, for although 1t has figured az a well known piece of furniture for a very long time, 1t was by no means an ordinary article. Its use was chief. ly confined to state occasions. or for honored individuals, and was regard ed much in the light of a throne.
 Clothing steadily becomes more simple, not less elegant perhaps, but certainly less complicated. One trunk will now carry as many changes of costumes as once required three, and if it is possible to simplify house fur niture in the same manner who knows what may result in changes of mode of life.
 A few priceless tapestries, a pile of Chinese ruge, some gorgeous Tur- kish cushions would be gladly acquir- ed in exchange by the possessor of a quantity of ducklegged chairs, if il were only customary.
 If it were only customary, however as it is not. humanity will continue to burden itself with the accumula- ton of several centuries of fashions in furniture. The reception room oi Louis XIV, the drawing in early Vic torian (revived) and so on with eact room help to bind the present to the past.

CITY MANAGEMENT
PLAN IS TALKED

There has been more or less talk in
Clovis lately regarding IL city man
agcr. 1t Is understood that the city
council has discussed the proposition
to some extent but no definite action
has ever been taken. There are many
good arguments in favor Of the city
manager way of running Il city and
several towns in this state and this
section of the country are making Il
success of the plan. Clovis is getting
to be little city and the management
OF the city's affairs Is no small burden
for body Of city councimen to man
age. especially when they draw no
salary except the "cussing' they get.
There is n legal question at stake
as to whether the council can really
employe n manager bat it is believed
this matter could be gotten around II
the body figures this is the best thing
for Clovis at this time. There is nc
getting around the fact that the flnanc
ial condition Of the town is not what
might be called Al and the News Is
one Of those that believes the manage
ment proposition would not only re
lieve much Of the burdens now placed
on the mayor and councilmen, bu
would really save the city much more
than the amount Of his salary.
