TEN1iLES-Coffon Goods Men
Expect 4ctire Buving Soon


Although business remained at
low level in the cotton goods market
yesterday there prevailed n marked
feeling of optimism. The cheerful
ness was attributed largely to the
expectation Of busy selling season
next month. DEVELOPMENTS at Wash
inp.on seemed more pleasing to the
trade.
Manufacturers of colored goods are
preparing their merchandise for
spring sales, and early next month
several Of them will offer blue DENIM

price quoted on blue denim of a
andard size was ~ cents a yard, and
there is cons iderable speculation as
to what felres will be placed on the

At present, the mills do not pretend

Can Be Satisfied bv Americans

BERLIN, Aug. 25 (By The Associated
Press).-A party of American business
men which has returned to Berlin after
tour OF Germany reports distinct
note Of optimism prevailing among the
Germans they met over the prospects
OF an early economic revival for the
country. The Americans themselves,
who are representatives Of varied in
terests engaged in a postwar inventory
of the buying and selling capacity of
Germany, expressed the belief that the
country was fully able to satisfy the
reasonable demands Of credit security
AS to the wave Of social unrest which
has been paralyzing the productive ac-
tiYltles Of the nation since the out
break Of the revolution last year. the
trend Of opinion among the Americans.
as they expressed it, was that when the
food situation WAS once definitely past
the critical stage and the raw mate
rials needed had been secured, there
woHld be subsistence of this disturb
ing influence. They pointed to the coal
situation, however, as the one factor
which might tend to retard the move
ment toward a general industrial re-
viVal.

ent hull has enabled dealers to lay in
more stock, fill orders and readjust
their business.
Asked if top prices for leather have
been reached yet several leather men
expressed the conviction that once buying
IS resumed higher prices will be asked.
This contention is based on the fact
that hides now in the process Of tanning
were purchased at high prices and the
cost of tanning them has advanced.
The tanners, it was asserted, do not
propose to take loss.
1t was reported in some quarters that
few dealers who held large supplies
of leather displayed a willingness to
shade prices in order to dispose of
their stocks. but this inclination was
by no means general; il was confined
mostly to middlemen and spectators.

PROHIBITION TO BRING
COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE
lnqs as Centers for Drama, Com
munity Sings and Enter
tainments

why not turn the corner saloon into
a community playhouse when the law
effects the closing of these gathering
places, asks Miss Hazel Mackayc, di-
rector OF the Department of Pageantry
and Drama of the Rational Young NO
mems Christian Associations
II went over on the West Side of
New York one night recently to attend
community drama meeting" Miss
Mackaye says IN explaining her theo-
ny, "and as was riding along | noticed
how many saloons there were-0ne on
every corner and another In the mid
die of the block. it seemed, all just
blazing with lights. Those lights ought
not to 90 ont with prohibition. They
ought to shine for something worth
while to all of the people, and what
better than community drama and
singsf"
Miss MacKaye feels that the war
has given great impetus to popular
interest in drama and that through
pageantry and drama a great deal in
the way of Americanization can be eff
fected.
Through the community center, If 1t
be In district populated largely Of
one foreign nationality, these people
could present pageants of the life in
their mother countries, TRANSMITTING
them into English, so that AmericnnS
and also the younger English speaking
members of their household could I'M
derstand and appreciate their tradi-
lions, American art would be greatly
enriched thus through the drama of
all of the nations whose peoples have
settled In this country. ON the other
hand American ideals, American his
tory and American festivals, oven laws
suchns child labor and minimum wal@,
could be interpreted to these people
by means OF pageantry.
