CLOTHES TO Be CHEAPER
Chicago Wholesaler Predicts rs
Per Cent Reduction.
Says Manufacturers and Retailers VIII
Make Small Profits-Material
Coming Down.

Chicago-Bertram J. Calm, presi-
dent of the Wholesale Clothiers' ASSOC
citation of Chicago. has forecast re-
duction in clothing prices, which he
said will be even more noticeable In
spring goods, it was announced.
Mr.. Calm asserted that manufacture
ers will make small profits this tall
and asserted that many clothiers were
foregoing profits and selling at cost.
He predicted, however, that material
costs would be lowered by spring, and
woolen mills will have announced q
cut Of from 20 to Is per cent for spring
goods. With labor's cooperation. in in
creased production, he foresaw still
further reductions in prices. =
Mr.. Cahn's statement, it was said,
was authorized by the National Assoc
citation Of Clothiers as the first authen-
tic statement on the present clothing
situation.
Mr.. Calm emphasized that the de-
cline must be gradual, as a sudden
slump frightens the retail buyer, who
reduces the amount of his orders. This
cuts down production and a shortage
OF clothing results, Mr.. Calm said.

The credit for accomplishing much
for the success of equal suffrage, given
the democratic party by Mrs. Peter
Oleson in her speech Saturday evening,
seem to have gotten under the skin of
our contemporary. Nevertheless, the
fact remains that not until there was a
democratic congress, did such measure
ever get out of committee. And never
before President Wilson did president
ask congress to pass such a measure. In
the many years of republican control, the
measure was always pigeonholed, be-
cause the members of the party did not
desire to show their stand, as it is we'll
known that powerful interests did not
desire that it make any Roadway. The
measure would have passed sooner had
it not been defeated by one vote in the
senate-and Senator Lodge the platform
maker Of the recent republican conven-
ton voted against it. Further Senator
Harding, now republican candidate, in
the senate July 81, 1918, opposed suf-
frage, even as war measure: The re-
publican papers like to point to states,
claimed as republican, that espoused the
cause, but forget that the republican
candidate in 1912 carried but four
states. In 1916, democrats again carried
practically all the states Of the west
and others of the middle states. Yet
the republicans claim the republican
states put the measure across. It ap-
pears to us that when state votes the
democratic ticket twice in succession,
it is democratic until it. takes a differ
ent. course. 1t isn't for the republicans
to speak Of the opposing speakers side
stepping, with their wiggly woggly,
vacilating, side-stepping, reactionary
candidate for president and their tom
mage tax forgetting candidate for gov.
ernor.

BEFORE THE CAMPAIGN

Duluth Herald:-When there is. no
campaign in progress OF in immediate
prospect, even partisans are likely to be
taken off their guard and caught speak"
ing the truth about public men and is
sues.
For instance, when President Wilson
returned from France, he entered the
country by way of Boston, and Cover
nor Coolidge, now the Republican can
didate for vice president, gave the
speech of welcome.
In that speech Governor Coolidge
said, with manifest sincerity, the follow
ing:
We welcome him with a reception
more marked than even that which
was accorded to General George
Washington, more united than
could have been given at aly time
during his life to President Abra-
ham Lincoln.
We welcome him at the represen-
tative of great people, as a great
statesman, as one to whom we have
intrusted our destiny and one whom
we assure We viii support out OF,
that destiny as Massachusetts has
supported him in the past.
That was before the campaign
doomed. Since then. Massachusetts,
through Lodge, its senior senator, has
'supported'' the president with a
knife in the ribs, and even q kick at
his prostrate form a. he lay on . sick.
bed to which his prodigious: labors for
the honor and well-being Of his coun-
try brought him just as surely as patrio-
tic service ever brought a soldier low

year-old from Commander J. X. l..

The race was over course Of mile
and quarter at weight for age; the
winner carrying 120 pounds to the
losers 126. A 81 ticket on the winner
paid 500. A great crowd witnessed
the race.
The time, 1903, was more than a
second slower than the record of each
horse. Sir Barton has a mark of
2:01 rs, which was later tied by Man
O. War. The slow time was partly due
to the fact that the victor was never
in danger from the time he took the
lead at the first sixteenth pole.
Sir Barton drew the rail and was
away with jump, but the lead was
short-lived. Jockey Clarence Hummer
sent Man 0''t;War alongside and then
ahead. When the stands were reached
at the end of the first quarter, the
Riddle horse had a two length lead.

Moths Use "WireIess7"

Because scientists have found that
though they place a female moth in
a wooden pfIlbOx, soundproof and
scentprOOf, the male moth always will
find its mate, they have been led to
believe that moths make use of q sys-
TEN similar to wireless telegraphy. A
VapoOrer moth in a sOund-prOOf box
will attract the male Of its species
from all directions. 1t has been prov
ed that the males are attracted neither
by sound nor scent.
The London Daily Mail says that
if experiments were conducted it I'M
doubtedly would be shown that cleo
.ro-magnetic waves of a very short
length are used, as both glow worms
and firefies emit light under similar
conditions, and that 1t is not improb-
able that other insects use longer and
invisible waves,
Moths have antennae, which, be-
sides acting as feelers, may be EN-
ployed as transmitting and receiving
aerials. The antennae of the female,
who is the transmitter, differ in de.
sign from those of the male, who re-
ceives. When the male alights he
swings his antenEae much as an op-
orator swings a wireless direction
finding frame to find out from what
directions signals come.
