allotment plan in serving thei1&fustom-
merchandise they vii. permit individual
retailers to purchase. This is result
of short stocks of spring fabrics and
the labor situation, which the manu-
facturers believe, will curtail produc-
ton during the months to come.
Prices are much higher than for fall
goods Retailers are not ordering large
quantities. Some say that the high
prices will curtail consumption, but, in
any event. large orders will not be
accepted by manufacturers if retailers
wish to place them.
The women of the country appear
for the time being at least, to have
balked at the present prices of ap-
parel. Retailers report that stocks are
moving slowly, and this has kept them
out of the wholesale markets. Some
manufacturers and jobbers Of women's
coats, suits and dresses say that more
buying will be necessary TO take care
Of the full seasons requirements and
that cold weather will force sales in
the retail stores.
Manufacturers generally are prepar-

Silks

Under pressure of heavy demands for
raw silk by mills in this country and
abroad, the price of the fibre rose to
dizzy heights last week. .Shinshui No
!, standard grade, passed the Sill
mark, an advance of about so cents
over the week previous, and Kansai
double extra came within Is cents of
reaching $12. The shortness of the
worlds supply with an ever increasing
demand for finished goods is the rea-
son given for the heavy buying by
mills.
Retailers and garment manufacturers
found small supplies of silk goods in
the market last week Most of the
mills have allotted their spring pro-
duction and the stocks of jobbers are
growing smaller. Prices are advanc-
ing steadily. At the present rate the
minimum price of silk goods of any
nature soon will be around So a yard

Yank, who was in charge of com
municating battery. "And there was
some tapping of lines and listening
in by German agents who understood
English perfectly. We got around that
in a clever way. We put Sioux Indians
on the telephones to send and receive
orders.

ChiIdren'S Minds Should Be
Stored With Pictures They
Can Describe in Own Words

Memorizing is a worthy mental exer-
else; but one can hardly help protest
ing against the practice, now happily
less common than in years within
memory, of compelling young children
to commit to memory tasks actually
painful either from their impossible
length or from their uninteresting and
unintelligible matter. The good prac-
tice of a pleasurable habit of learning
by heart suitable, quantity of suitable
matter has suffered from natural re-
action; but we are now returning to
better things. and we are convinced
that there are few efforts more pleas
ant to children than the consciousness
of having committed to memory a
suitable task, that is, of having formed
a clear and complete picture of some
interesting subject.
Do not let the time pass for storing
your scholars minds with an album
dance of distinct pictures, which they
can represent to their own minds and
describe in their own words.--A
Teacher.

How Light Changes Shape
of Pupil of Eye of Both
Animal and the Human

Nothing is more deceptive than the
appearance of cats eye. The pupil
ordinarily appears as long, narrow
oval or a vertical black line, yet its
natural shape is circular 1t is matter
of the effect of light. In bright light
our pupils become very small circles,
while those of cat turn into ovals or
narrow Sits. The general effect is the
same in either case-namely, to dl-
minish the quantity of light passing
into the eye. Curiously enough, in the
larger animals of the cat tribe, such
as tigers, the pupil sometimes behaves
exactly like a human pupil, and when
brightly illuminated contracts into
minute circle instead of becoming
linear. In the case of domestic cats,
the older the animal the more fire.
quently does the pupil of the eye as
sumo a circular form.

Reader Finds Comfort in
Old Books Written Without
War in the Authors Mind

If during the war it almost seemed
to some people that nothing written be-
fore 1914 had kept its old value, they
may, on the contrary, soon find them
selves blinking suspiciously at books
written since then. MathematicianS
distinguished carefully between 'sys-
tematic" error, which is cumulative,
and the casual errors which are as
likely to lie in one direction as the
other and in the long run tend to Off
set each other. To the reader who is
beginning to recover a deranged criti-
cal faculty the trouble with most Of
which has been written since 1914 is
that it contains systematic error due
to the perturbations set up by the
great war. The comfort of old books,
on the contrary, lies in the fact that
they were not written with the great
war lurking in some corners of the au-
thor'S mind. Whatever their errors
and prejudices, they are not bent all
one way by single force, and even
their prejudices neutralize each other.

KEEPING CHICKENS
In TOWN

In many towns and cities there are
ordinances restricting the keeping of
fowls under certain conditions, namely,
that the neighbors shall not be an
noyed by the growing of the male birds
and that the poultry house must be To-
Gated a specified distance from any
dwelling. Under such conditions. says

culture, permit should be easy to OBJ
