TIE REAL ECONOMIC
 VALUE OF THE WAR
Expert Declares That World Con- fIict Taught Public to Beware of
 "Work and Money FaIIacies."
By PROF. IRVING FISHER.

 Famous Political Economist of YaIe.)
 One of the chief lessons of the war, both in Europe and America, is to compel attention to the fundamental factors of economic welfare.
 The "save and serve" slogan used in appeals for subscriptions to Liberty Bonds illustrates this, as does the goods and services" slogan in Eng land. Both replaced the "business as usual' cry with which the war began.
 The public learned to beware of many common economic fallacies such as that the way to pay for the war is to keep everybody at his usual job "so as to earn money" instead of diverting labor and capital to needed war work or such as that we should spend so as to keep business going and make money circulate" instead of save; or such as that we should limit output so as ito raise wages"
 The British Labor Program actually repudiated the fallacious doctrine of limitation of output generally held by the trades unionists.
 If workmen will really give up this fallacy completely they will thereby increase their real wages-in bread and butter, shoes and clothing, shelter and amusements, because, as a whole, they will be making more of these things which constitute real wages.
 The eight hour day is good if 1t adds to leisure, lessens fatigue and in- creases product; but it is a delusion and a snare if it is used simply to lessen oUtDUt and make work
 The make work fallacy"- and the money fallacies" are pitfalls to en- trap unwary workmen and betray the real economic interests of us all.

The New Clothes

For many a woman in average cir cumstances a summer outfit means one or two new separate skirts, as many new bIouses as her purse will allow and as many sweaters as she has time to make. And a wide brimhed hat and a pair of good white shoes, and she can manage a sum mer wardrobe as successfully as moderate demands require. Of course, the charm of this summer ap- pareI lies in it's perfect freshness and exquisite daintiness and these quail ties undeniably can be achieved even by the most meagre incomes.

Another feather fancy at the pres ent time is the dancing shoe edged with tubular ostrich. and decorated with a big feather rosette. Fringes and tassels of crystal, variegated beads, or quivering steel, are quite the Fage; in fact, all kinds of scintiI- laung ornaments are being worn this season, and so enormous is the de- mand that manufacturers are hard pressed to keep pace with it. Straw embroidery is a novelty fast growing in favor. Its ightness and dura bill ity, and the fact that it is not difficult to obtain, are qualities that recom- mend it just now when there is a shortage of this class of goods.

One of the principal reasons for the new demand for ostrich pIumes is the change in the general silhouette presented in the more recent styles. Heretofore with short skirts and a general tendency toward natty clear cut lines, there was a corresponding necessity for millinery which would harmOnize' with this silhouette, and, accordingly small hats with little trimming were brought out and sold.
 The style tendency has changed. however-skirts are longer and mar rover, and the general tendency is to present a long slim silhouette. In order to offset this. larger hats were designed, and with the larger hat, the necessity for trimming.
 Ostrich plumes, it is pointed out. have always been considered a suit able trimming for large hats. and hence the greater demand for plumes.

If the advance in cigarette prices
for the past year or so is continued
long, only the rich can afford them.
Already the thrifty man has to count
the cost unless he is one CT those for
Inmates that can roll their own from
the little sack Of tobacco, which also
is noticably growing smaller, that
costs only a dime and makes them
say, forty average cigarettes.
Unless there is a bumper crop of
the good old Virginia and North Car
DINA tcbaccos grown this year, the
price of the leaf is likely to soar to
new heights and, added to the ever in
creasing cost of labor and wrapping
which figures largely in the machine
made king, the present price may look
like a bargain sale later. (adv.)

THE MONEY CORRAL" NEW
HART PICTURE HAS MANY
THRILLS.
Rodeo is Finely Reproduced and Shows
The West as it Actually Was

William S. Harris new Aircraft
picture, "The Money Corral" which
comes to the Greenwood Theatre to-
day is one Of the best photoplays in
which Mr.. Hart has been seen in many
a day. 1t is announced that in the
making of the big rodeo scenes for
this film, all the cow-girls, punchers,
Indians and Mexicans within a hun
dred miles came to take part in the
episodes that required fast riding
shooting, roping, etc.
Bill Hart is prominent in these
scenes himself. Later the story takes
the, principal cha1acters to Chicago
to the underworld crooks. He bests
a charming girl for his wife and is
presented with a ranch in Montana
by his grateful employer, the presi-
dent of a trust company.
Mr.. Hart collaboratad with Lam
bert Hiilyer in writing and directing
this picture and this combination as
sIres the acme of thrill and human
interest for both men are famous for
their capable work.
Mr.. Hart declares that the produc-
ton comes up to his expectations.
"The rodeo scenes will only occupy a
few hundred leet of the film," he OBJ
serves, "but they are worth all the
trouble and time, for. they mirror
faithfully the real life of the West"
Azlot Of the wild horses brought in
from the ranges were too much for
even some of the crack rides and a
few bad spills occurred. But the .ex-
element is said to be intense as a re-
suit OF this genuine replica of a 'front.'
