Protect Stacks
and Buildings

"Misfortunes never come singly, +"
says the old proverb, and now when
crops are scarce and prices high is a
poor time to lose property by fire.
The risk of fire is greater in these
very dry times when all vegetation
is ready to blaze at the touch of a
match. There are many ways for a
blaze to start, and few ways to stop
it while the bitches are dry and water
low in the wells. Smokers smoke
more since the war and nobody seems
to think they are any more careful
about where they drop their fire.
In many homes the matches are kept
where children can reach them and
almost every summer somebody has
that sad experiences of finding stacks
afre and the children playing with
matches.
Let's have a general understanding
now. and guard against fires in every
way we can. ~ tt.

SKINS, say they are finding it increas-
lngly difficult to find desirable mer-

to be particularly short of good musk

Clothing Manufacturers Fear
Shortage Of Spring
Fabrics

Many producers of mems and wo-
mems clothing. upon learning that the
American Woolen Company had made
only small allotments Of spring goods
to their customers, started out bright
and early yesterday to see what the
jobbers had to offer in the way OF
cloth. Some of the clothing manufac-
turers had anticipated their spring
needs as far as possible by placing
orders with mills that would accept
them but the majority had waited to
see what the American Woolen Com
pany would do in the way of supplying
the trade with fabrics for the sprlng
Of 1920.
Reports of new high levels for wool
lens of all kinds were current during

had changed hands at IS yard. That

Waists Made in America
Undersell the French Product

Franklin Simon, in an article written
for "Bctter Waists" publication
issued by the United Waist League of
America, says that the inability Of
buyers for retail stores 20 obtain hand
made cotton waists from France to re-
tail at $3.50 to s9.75 and $3.50 during
the war, turned their attention to the
home product. The result is, he says,
that retailers can sell waists superior
to the old French models. at IS, $3.50
and 1915, while the French merchan-
disc cannot be sold here now under $40
"To-day, therefore," he writes,
"American manufacturers are receiving
the hundreds of dollars formerly spent
in foreign markets. They are produc-
ing hand made cotton waists which are
so far superior TO the French product
that they cannot be compared.

JEWELRY--No Let-UP
In Demand for Diamonds

No intention on the part of the pub
lie to curtail it's purchases of precious
stones, watches and other articles
which come under the classification of
jewelry has been detected as vet. de-
spite the countrywide protest against
the high cost of living. On the con-
trary, according to leading gem deal
ers, the shortage of diamonds and
pearls and semi-precious stones con-
tlnues to cause the manufacturing
jewellers considerable trouble in filing
the orders which are pouring in from
retailers in all sections of the coun-
try. The watch factories and the
sl!verware manufacturers find them
selves in the same situation, and the
consensus Of opinion in the trade
seems to be that whatever movement
toward economy may result from the
present agitation the possible reaction
upon the jewelry industry is some
months distant, and even then may
not be felt to any great extent if
wages continue high and the spending
power of large part of the public is
not seriously diminished
Although diamonds have increased in
price until a good stone now costs
anywhere between $3.50 and $500 a
carat, reports from retailers indicate
that customers are waiting for all the
gems they can supply, even at higher
prices than those now prevailing.
In the opinion of importers a fur
ther advance is almost certainty, as
the Germans and Austrians have been
investing large sums in precious
stones, thus reducing the supply on
the open markets of Europe and in
creasing competition among the buyers
from America, Japan, South American
countries and India.

He alluded to the failure of a simi-
lar project of the Arizona Council of
Defence a year ago, which was aban-
doned because of widespread protest.
Marking the cost on merchandise
will mislead the public" he said. "The
ordinary customer will not stop to
think that all of the margin between
the cost and selling price does not
represent profit to the retailer. 1t
would be fairer to mark merchandise
with the total of the cost and the re
tailerS' overhead" /"
