Revolt Against

believe, ephemeral," said Mr.. Malaney,
but it proves that the public is be-
coming very tired of spending its mon
ey for clothes and not getting value

both prices and material. The retailer
is as much a victim of circumstances
as it is.

they paid for real clothes. Now, these
clothes one sees advertised in windows

near anything.
"Shoddy may be all wool, but wool
that has been made over more than
once, and sometimes even baked to
keep its shape. 1t has lost its resilien-
cy and wearing qualities. The wool,
as it comes off the sleeps back, is
known as virgin wool.
Bill in Congress.
"a bill was introduced in congress
| January Z designed to prevent the de-
, ceit and profteering that result from
the u%nrevealed presence of substitutes
for virgin wool and in garments made
therefrom, known as the truth in
fabric bill. This bill, if passed. will
make it obligatory for the fabric manu.
facturer to stamp on the cloth the ex.
act percentage of virgin wool, shoddy
or cotton that it may contain. The
fabric will be stamped: Makers Reg
~istration No. - Contains not under

"In this way the retailer will know
what he is selling and the consumer
what he is buying. A man will not pa!
$40 for a S45 suit. Clothes will fine
their proper price levels and the pub
lie can abandon overalls."

For some time I have been a constant

The "FTu.-

Rsappearance of the "flu" recalls the
scourge of the Spanish influenza during
the autumn of 1913 and the early part OF
1913. 1t first appeared in New York
September IS, 1918. On that date five
cases were reported. It's rapid spread
over the country is a story of many
deaths and heroic efforts on the part of
physicians and boards of health. The
number of cases in New York increased
rapidly, reaching a total of r39. 900, with
1900 deaths. The number of cases in
training camps reached $4,000. The city
authorities asked for S55OOO. Congress
appropriated S1.OOO,OOO to fight the
plague. The nation organized for a great
battle.
In November, when the influenza be.
gan to recede, it was estimated that the
victims in New York State alone were
1900, in the United States 100000, and
in the world 100000. The scourge was
particularly fatal in India.
According to one theory the malady was
brought into Spain by the crews of in
termed German U-boats. Later this was
confirmed for the disease started with
violence in the German camps, apparently
starting in the centres of population, such
as Berlin AMI Hamburg.
Great wars have always brought on
great pestilences. 1t is said that the
Roman soldiers returning from Africa
brought the influenza into Spain. Since
the scourge spread with such lightning
rapidity and was so deadly the supersti-
tious Spanards connected it with some
influence" of the stars-a supernatural
influence. Since then the name of ''flu''
has stuck to the plague. As the germ
theory WIS not discovered until 1870, this
explanation seemed quite plausible.
However as in the case Of yellow fever
at Panama, sanitation and personal clean
illness will do much to ward off this
scourge.
