From the highest authorities and
most respected element in the tailoring
world now assembled for their an
nual convention in this city comes the
information that the trousers cuff re-
turns. and to stay. To good dressers,
those who are acutely particular about
the most insignificant details OF the
tailor's production, the elimination OF
the cuff and the nude effect of the I'M
hidden hem has been a great displeas-
ure. The return OF the prodigal cuffs
and patch pockets and double breasted
coats, banned for material conserva-
ton. will be only another indication

change makes the agreeable announce
ment that II will ship as this years
citrus crop $4,000 carloads carrying
the staggering total OF 9.702 900 boxes
OF fruit. principally oranges. lemons
and grapefruit. OF this enormous
despatch 10000 cars will be loaded each
with Az boxes of oranges. and 1t is
significant that while little more
than half Of them will be navels,
10000 carloads will be OF other varie-
ties. II this denotes a response TO a
growing disesteem OF the seedless
orange 1t will be gratifying TO many
who prefer n heavier, juicier orange,
even with its seeds. rather than the
abnormal seedess which year after
year. while more beautiful. yields less

One of Chairman HuRIEY's plans

during the war; that Is, ships on which
SO, 600, 100000 was spent would be
handed over to private owners for
s., 900, 900, 900. A less artificial way to
transfer the ships from Government
to private ownership would be to sell
them at auction-a fair field and no
favors. There are other problems, for
which Mr.. HURLEY no doubt will offer
his solution in time. One of them Is
the problem OF making American
ships. with American sailors at $50 a
month. compete with ships that will
be manned by men who will work for

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sh: A
