If mans an optimist these days,

if he can gaily sing and smile, he is
an optimist worth while. There is
no trick in being gay upon spring

zip along, and birds put up glad
some song, and nature seems to
strain thew to bring all pleasant
things to view. Then any man can
wear grin, the ends of which OBJ
scure his chin. But when the sun

days that make you weep, you go to

RETAIL CLOTHING MEN

Association Orders Inquiry Which
Will Be Devoted to Present
Business Methods.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. September 11.-Investi-
cation OF the business methods of
clothing manufacturers throughout
the United States by a committee of
retailers was ordered today by dele
,, gates in the convention Of the Ma
tional Retail Clothiers' Association.
In resolution which called for the
appointment Of special committee
serted yesterday that some manufac-
turers of clothing have sold on future
orders merchandise at certain agreed
prices and have subsequently resold
and delivered the same commodities
at advanced prices and refrained from
shipping to the original purchaser.
This alleged tendency on the part
Of the manufacturer. the retailers say,
increases without warrant the mate
places an additional burden on the
consumer.
Referring to tho eight-hour day for
tailors. Arthur n. Reis, president of
the National Wholesale Mems Fur
nishing Association, said that the re-
suits Of Questionnaires sent out by
New York manufacturers showed that
shorter hours resulted in loss Of eff
cheney and a decrease in production.
Mr.. Refs predicted az a result Of the
demand for moro goods and at the
that industry would eventually be
delegated to trade councils upon
which would rest the responsibility of
adjusting the contradictory tendencies
of the economic problems confronting
the world.

RUMANIA WANTS LEAGUE
RULING ON AUSTRIAN PACT
Explains Failure to Sign-ob3ects
to "Foreign Interference in
Domestic AHairs."

PARIS. Wednesday, September TO-
The Rumanian delegation to the
peace conference in explaining its at
titude in refusing to sign the treaty
with Austria today holds that, since
Rumania acquired membership in the
league Of nations through signing the
treaty with Germany. the league must
be the tribunal which will eventually
consider it's claims and decide whether
Rumania can be forced to accept q
treaty providing for foreign inter-
ference in her domestic affairs"
Rumania's objection to signing the
treaty was based on the clause pro-
viding that nations receiving territory
from the former Austro- Hungarian
empire must provide for the protec-
ton Of racial and religious minorities
residing there.
Rumania might have acquired Buko-
wilma under the Austrian treaty, but,
as her delegation failed to sign. the
supreme council holds that the sig
nature OF other powers does not make
the transfer possible until Rumania
accepts the treaty. Under the pro-
posed treaty with Huneas;; Rumauia
would acquire Transylvania, but un-
der the same terms relative to minori-
ties In that region Rumania for this
reason Is expected to refuse also to
sign that convention.
