Paper Suits Expected Soon
To Appear In United States

Washing, Aug. 7.--Paper suits,
much in vogue in Germany and
Austria, soon will make their
appearance in the United States,
and if inquiries to the Depart
ment of Commerce can be taken
as an indication of the probable
demand, they may become even
more popular in the lower-the-
cost-of-living campaign than was
the lowly overall short time
ago.
Cable orders for samples of the
suits have been dispatched by
the Department of Commerce, it
was announced today, and when
the samples arrive they will be
displ yed not only in Washing
ton but also in the departments
district, and cooperative Offices
located in important cities of the
country.
Explaining its orders for the
samples, the department issued
this statement:
This action was taken be-
cause of the wide interest Great
ed by the publication of a recent
dispatch from England that a
large quantity of such suits were
on display i'll English stores.
The Bureau Of Domestic and
IForeign Commerce has receiy ed
! many inquiries from interested
parties in the United States as a
result of the publicity given the
report. A goodly number of the
Iinquirers asked that they be
furnished with some of the suits,
under the impression that the
bureau had a supply on hand. II
| is understood that the suits are
supposed to ret all at about &c
lcentS each.

the. streets of Dayton this afte i
noon to the county fair grounds.
where Governor Cox was formal
ly notified of his nomination d.
he Democratic candidate 70,
President.
The nomina ton was accepted
by the Governor in ringing
speech, which was punctuated
with cheers from the huge audi

work for ratification of the peace

policies of the Republican party.

round of cheers. 1t was tie

welt can stand the gaff, lie Said.
Cox's appearance i'll the parade
was a big surprise for the tEou>-
ands that lined the streets TO the
fair grounds and the two cand'-
dates were given one continuous
ovation along the two-mile
march.
Despite a hot sun, Cox and
Roosevelt set a lively pace. Cries
of Jimmy" were heard along
the line.
The appearance OF Cox and
Roosevelt at 2:30, marching
down the race track to the Judges
stand at the head Of the pro-
cession, while the band played
Ohio" was the signal for a big
ovation by the assembled crowds.
When the Governor entered the
stand his first act was to wave
mis- hand to Mrs. Cox, seated on
the front row of the stand. She
was dressed in white, with a
black picture hat, and carried Il
big bunch of American Beauty
roses. The Governor wore a
plain, blue business suit, as did
Roosevelt.
The review of the parade be-
gan at once.

all from Marion" one sign read.
AHother: ITS getting :leetle

At least 1000 men and women
we're in the section marked as

Accepting the nomination,
Governor Cox acknowledged the
peace treaty as the leading issue
of the campaign.
In a speech bristling with al
