I'M Won a Good Base Ball

The Prescott, Kansas, base ball
team came to Butler Sunday with a
|feputation of being the fastest team
E34 this part of the country, and they
|tere fast, but this time they were up
|1Sainst much faster team and lost
BY score of 8 to /. Orear, the But
kr pitcher, pitched about the best
game seen on the local grounds this
s(ason and we'll deserved a shut out,
u it took four misplays for the Kan
s1ns to get their one run. He never
wfs IN trouble. after the second inning
when the bases were filled with only
one out. 1t looked bad. but Mealman
was thrown out, Orear to Hupp, and
Smith popped to J. Williams and the
fans breathed again.
The visitors made their only run
i'd the 9th inning when Luscomb
dropped Ford's fly. Ford went to
second on a passed ball, to third
when Garrett dropped c. Bortzfield's
fly and scored when Hupp made a
bad throw to the plate. But the To-
Gals got most of their errors out of
their systems while all this wasEo-
ing on and from that time until the
last Kansan was thrown out in the
ninth inning there was no chance for
the visitors.
Luscomb, the catcher that Manager
Smith had secured from Kansas City,
did we'll behind the bat and his fine
work in handling Orear's fast shoots
had a great deal to do with the final
result.

WANT 12O DELAWARE
TEACHERS In N. E. A.

Delaware teachers are engaged in a
campaign 10 add 100 new Delaware
members TO the National Educational
Association. The association Will try 10
secure 10000 new members from all
over the United States before the annual
convention In July.
Delaware has already secured ii5 new
members Of the 100 allotted this State,
ond has bright hopes OF being the FIRST
state to reach Its quota. California has
nearly reached its quota, and the two
states are In a close race 10 be first.
Commissioner Of Education A. r.
SDaid says Delaware would have gone
over the top last month had not the
prevalence Of the influenza prevented
Supt E. j. Hardesty from holding meet
ings OF his teachers In SeafOrd and
Georgetown. Mr.. Spaid is State dlrec-
tor for Delaware Of the National Edu-
oatlonal Association.
Kent county is leading with a mem
bership Of 81; Sussex comes next with
q membership Of 30, while New Castle
reports 2s.
Supt. c. J. Scott, OF Wilmington, has
promised 10 interest his corps Of teach
ers in the campaign, and with the aid Of
the Wilmington teachers, Delaware
should lead the States.
The teachers Of Delaware are taking
q lively interest In the National Edu-
cation bill, known as 1857, and have
petitioned Delaware's representatives In
Congress TO support the measure. The
bill carries an appropriation Of $780,
100000. Should IL be enacted into law,
Delaware would receive as her share
nearly siSjOOO for public education.

BUSINESS WOMEN AND THEIR DRFS.

To the Editor Of The Evening Journal
Sir:-l have read with considerable
interest the various comments and
criticisms on the business women OF
today In regard to their dress. and #
you VIII extend TO me the courtesy Of a
small space in your paper, ! hope that
some Of our right-mlnded citizens may
read this and give ear to at least one
business woman Of some experience,

which have been printed 10 various pa

animals and their owners may not suf-
Ter by any misjudgment Of inexperi-
enced men, and that proper red and
blue ribbons may be placed on the
particular chicken or cow as the case
may be. Then why should our business
women be criticised by women who
have no knowledge whatever Of present
day ofiice conditions and present day
business men. It IS very amusing to
hear and read the criticisms on the
business women by the society women
who depend on their husbands steno-
graphers and bookkeepers TO make up

Naturally a woman who is attractive
ly, but quietly dressed, and who has
brains, appeals 10. the real business
man. He can talk his business affairs
over with her and she Is help TO him
In his business transactions and he can
usually take her into his confidence and
he will not hear his private business
discussed at the next card party, while
II he goes home from the office an hou-

morning Is how the designer spoiled

Mrs. - dinner dance and that a
new gown must be purchased and all
such fairy things, while his steno-
grapher may be at the office figuring
out how his flrm can earn ten thousand
dollars more next year.
Then the poor business woman is Sc
verely criticised and written up in our
newspapers If she Is bec0mingly dress
ed, because her earning capacity is
such that she can afford TO dress well,
but within reason.

tions in every case, but II our business

Chemicals

Prices advanced all along the line in
heavy chemicals last week. Some
stated it was due to the fact that heavy
buying had definitely set in. now that
the possibility Of German connection
has been discounted. In other quar-
ters it was said that spectators were
in the market and were responsible for
some OF the price fluctuations. Prob
ably both are right Demands have ia
creased greatly, bringing about price
changes. which in turn have ercour-
aged spectators to operate in the ris
ing market.
The apparent scarcity of bichromate
OF soda and caustic soda was said to be
due to the fact that the large pro-
ducers are keeping their stocks off the
market in anticipation of higher prices.
Bichromate of soda advanced from 8 TO
II cents a pound during the week. The
export demand was strong and many
orders were placed with manufacturers
Tor future delivery. Caustic soda was
also shipped out Of the country in
large quantities, especially to Japan
and South America. The domestic de-
mand was firm. with large orders com
ing from makers Of soap and lye and
manufacturers Of cottonseed oil.
Copper sulphate was actively sought
in the agricultural sections of the
country during the latter part of the
week. The regular seasonal demand
sets in about this time. and orders are
reported to be good Inquiries arc also
coming from France, because of the
advent of the wine season
New-York tribune., 1919-08-04
Silk Goods

Reports regarding the volume of
business done last week in dress silks
We're Of a contradictory character
Manufacturers who conserved their
supplies for sale on rising market
were favored with many orders, but
jobbers, especially those who seemed
inclined to protiteer, were confronted
with diminished sales. Comparatively
few buyers were in the salesrooms of
the latter sellers. Some Of the mcr-
chants from the Far West and South
were disposed to balk at the high prices
demanded, and in instances they were
reported to have cut down the orders
they had intended placing
Despite the evident let down in bust
ness with particular concerns, the lead
ing manufacturers asserted that they
had been virtually overwhelmed with
requests to take orders for taf-
fetas for spring delivery. This
weave has not been in especially active
demand, and for that reason most of
the silk looms have been actively en-
gagged in working up satin faced fab
RIGS. Consequently the market is al
most bare of desirable grades of the
staffeta finished goods. The representa-.
tives of the manufacturers declare that
the women of the country will have to
be educated up to the high prices that
they will have 10 pay next fall fc1
dress silks.
Some OF the leading retail stores
have been selling tatfetas at S1.3a q
yard, whereas the manufacturers are
row getting $175 for this fabric.

WOOIle,,S

Most OF the business in the woollen
goods market last week, it is said, re-
lated to orders for fabrics for use next
spring. Wherever large users of cloth,
such as the big manufacturers Of mems
OF women's clothing, have had influ-
ence with the mills, they have placed
orders for spring goods OF a staple
character. One Of the largest agents
for mills making cloth suitable for
the womens trade reported last week
that he had taken orders for all the
tricotine, serge and poiwt twills the
mills he represented could produce un~
til next March. The few offerings of
serges for next spring made by stand
ard producers are taken almost as
quickly as the serges are made.
The trade is watching the American
Woolen Company for an announcement
concerning when it will show spring
fabrics. There is speculation about
how much of normal 4production rhis
concern can offer, and what prices it
will name. 1t is said in the trade
that if the American is able to produce
only from 10 to 25 per cent of it's
normal spring output, as many predict
it Will, other mills will be able to name
high prices for their cloths because OF
the big hole which will be left in the
demand. Some manufacturers say they
will be unable to make spring goods
because the slow production Of their
fall orders will keep their mills run
ming until almost the end Of the year
on heavy fabrics.
Jobbers who have stocks Of fall fab
rics on hand are obtaining high prices
for their wares. Clothing manufact-
urers are paying these prices only
when forced to take in more cloth to
fill orders they have booked.
In the women's clothing trade, manu-
facturers are showing disposition to
take orders for garments only 80 the
limit of their production based on the
amount Of cloth they have on hand
or are reasonably sure will be delivered
from the mill
New-York tribune., 1919-08-04

stuffs appear to be following hand
to-mouth policy of buying in anticipa-
ton of large supplies coming from
Germany at low prices.
Leading factors state tnat manu-
facturers who continue to follow tnls
policy are the victims OF delusion
The supplies Of dyestuffs in Germany
are reported to be very scarce, and
when once released they will be quickly
bought by nearby consumers, such as
England, France and Italy, who need
these colors more than we do. Another
development last week which should
tend to discourage the policy of small
lot buying was the announcement OF
the committee on dyes of the War
Trade Board of the Department OF State
that no German dyestuffs would be al
lowed in this country until Congress
had acted on pending Legislation in re-
gard to dye importations.
The export demand for colors contin-
ued firm, with the largest inquiries
still coming from South America and
the Orient. Bright shades, such as
malachite green, patent blue, delphine
blue and Congo red, we're in chief de-
mand. Scandinavian interests also were
reported to have bought large stocks
of colors here.
Swiss colors continue scarce, with
prices ever on the rise because of the
unprecedented demand. Shipments to
this country have been extremely
scarce during recent weeks, and dealers
who hold stocks show tendency to re-
tain them in anticipation Of higher

Basic Metals

Increasingly active although July and
August are normally dull months in
the iron and steel industry. Untitled
orders are accommodating and higher
prices have become effective in some
lines, notably wire products, where the
demand has been most keen. 1t now
seems certain that the railroad admin
istration will enter the market in the
that for some products at least it will
be forced to pay higher prices than
those disapproved by it last March
when the controversy over the schedule
of the industrial board was at its
height.
An important event of the week was
The publication of the earnings of the
United States Steel Corporation, show
ing net for the June quarter in excess
of $S4,00O,000. This was distinct sur
prise TO the financial district lnasmuch
as estimates had placed the total at a
considerably lower fit lre. The Steel
Corporation was one of the few com
panies to report an iYcr' sse IN revenues
over the March quarter.

New-York tribune., 1919-08-04
Rubber

In the fore part of last week planta-
ton, crude rubber moved up sharply
under increased buying by the leading
manufacturers of automobile tires,
which transactions were supplement-
ed by the speculative operations of
the dealers. Later on the manufacture
ers Withdrew from the market, and in
vance was lost. Advices received
from London and Singapore indicated
that holders of rubber were not in
| clined to make concessions in prices.
Locally first latex at the close of the
week was quoted at 4l% cents a
pound, smoked ribs at 40a4 cents and
brown crepe at 36H cents. The wild
or Para rubbers did not reflect any
marked changes.
Demand on the manufacturers for
mechanical goods is only fair, out
door construction projects not having
yet reached the stage where large
required. Manufacturers of the vari
Gus kinds of tires are overwhelmed
with business. thanks to the great ac-
tivity prevailing in the automobile in
dustry. The chief difficulty is to sup
ply the demand. Although trade in
pneumatic tires is especially notewor-
thy, business in solid tires for use on
commercial vehicles is expanding in
keeping with the broadening activity
Of industrial operations in general
lines
Dealers, particularly those engaged
in making retail sales, complain that
buying Of pneumatic tires is below
that usually witnessed at this season
of the year. They assert that so
many persons have embarked in the
business that the sales of the indi-
vidual dealers are being too widely
spread to allow of robust trade with
any one dealer
