Chief Kennedy Has Ideas

Philip R. Kennedy, named recently by
President Wilson as chief of the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce of the
Department of Commerce, has sent to
the American Manufacturers Export AS
ISOLATION the following suggestions rela-
tive to building up foreign trade and to
the resumption of trade with Germany:
Foreign trade is only partly mat

Kennedy wrote. at is at the basis a
knowledge of human nature and the way
human nature responds to various con-
ditions We are now on the eve of the
resumption of trade with Germany. 1t
is hard for US to adjust ourselves TO
state of trade with a nation against
which we were so recently in bitter con-
f1ict. 1t is not possible nor Is II the in
tention to isolate a nation with which
we have made peace There Is only one
way Germany can pay her obligations
to the Allies and that Is by the produc-
ton of her people.
ct is not possible TO milk n COW and
cut her throat at the same time. Be-
fore Germany can proceed with produc-
ton she will need food and raw ma
terials. In certain instances she will
have to obtain these commodities from
the United States. Germany will then
have to begin to pay her debts by means
of exports"

COPS ON SILK JOB
Discouraged Silk Merchant
Who Lost $4,000 Moved
to Offer Reward.

A reward OF $500 will be paid to the
person or persons revealing the Identity
Of the loft robbers who ransacked on
July the show rooms Of the Windham
SILK Manufacturing Company, on the
eleventh floor OF the Cameron Building,
northeast corner of Thirty fourth street
and Madison avenue.
The place was entered in the day and
rolls of silk valued al 81 5000 we're carted
away In a truck, which was backed UP
at the entrance of the building. The
thieves carried the loot down ten flights
of stairs to the street, while an elevator
boy in the building innocently allowed
them in and out.
Detectives Of the West Thirtieth street
station called IN on the case went UP ten
flights of stairs at the time of the rob-
berry. became tagged out, departed and
had to be summoned a second time. APP
parently, the sleuths are still full of the
same ambition which spurred them when
first called in. because Frank Carrabee,
president of the firm, had the reward
and information notice inserted yester-
day In the newspapers.
Just what success the firm will have
through offering a reward is matter of
deep conjecture to police and others.
However. the cop who patrols the post in
Madison avenue that takes in homes Of
some Of the wealthiest New Workers, in
Guiding the Morgan residence a few
blocks north. has given up all hopes Of
collecting the reward. because he was
not around when the burglars turned the
job.

Wait for Death.

Gordon Fawcett Handy. murderer, in
formed Sing Sing prison officials in the
death house yesterday that he is going
to change lawyers in order to try to stop
the appeal that now holds up his execu-
ton being carried through TO the Court
Of Appeals. The slayer also protested
against being called Handy, name he
says was given to him in Brooklyn after
he was extradited as Allen.
Handy said he very much regretted
that Frank Y. McCaffry of Brooklyn. the
lawyer assigned by the court to defend
him at his trial. took an appeal from
the death sentence against his OHamby's)
wishes.
This appeal is all nonsense" said
Handy, "and I'm going to change law
yers. I'm going to get lawyer who
will withdraw 1t. l might as we'll have
1t all over now. I don't want to lounge
around in here a year or two"
The holdup man requested Warden
Edward V. Brophy not to call him
Handy. "Why do they persist in calling
me Hamby?" asked he. That's not nv
name
But that's the name you we're com
mitted here under" replied the warden.
But never said was Handy" the
Brooklyn slayer went on. II was ex-
tradited under the name of Allen.
Allen, that's my name. They gave me
the name Of Handy down in Grooklyn.
I only knew a fellow OF that name. That
is the son of Jim Handy, the race track
man. that Mrs. John Condor out in Chi
cago thought was me. l spent a night
with this fellow Handy in St Paul.

Stories from real life
The breezy travelling man

Say, I Wa,,t to see q
pair of those Anatomik
shoes" said a big breezy
fellow, about two years
ago. "A friend of mine
is wearing them and told
me to come up here and
get a pair. The fact is,
my feet are so bad that |
had begun to feel that |
would have to give up my
job.
Il am a travelling man
and have to do a tremen-
dous lot of walking, and
these last couple of trips
have simply put me out of
business. l had about
made up my mind that l
would have to take an in
side job, but my friend
recommends Anatomik
shoes so strongly that l am
going to give them a trial.

business ! will be in before
leave for more of them"
The re,alt-
He got the Anatomik shoes
and was so enthused with the
result that he breezed in a cou-
pie of times a week to report
progress. Before starting on
his trip he purchased some ex-
ira pairs.
In a short time letters began
to come in from him as he
travelled through the West. "I'm
third on the list for sales last
month";" he wrote.
A little later he reported
"1'm second on the list"
And then finally, "I'm first
on the list"
This big man is still leading
in sales, still wearing his Ana
tomiks, which he says he feels
are more necessary to his sue
cessful selling than his bag of
samples.

Some of the jobbers buy as
many pieces of the perfect as
they buy pieces of the imper-
feet. and when the defects are
slight they mix them all to-
gether and the consumer is not
informed of the defects.
The clerks selling them over
the counter, and the tailor-man-
ufacturer who cuts them up and
has them sewed into dresses,
pays no attention to the defects,
and when the customer, ready to
buy something, points out the
defects, he is told by the at
tendant that such things are
usual and of no consequence.
The system of this Store from
the beginning, based on instruc-
tions given the day before it's
doors opened, requires the clerk
to point out any known defect,

facturers send US, and also to
call the attention of the would
be-buyer to the goods that are
