Clothing Depression
To Be Short, Is Belief

Depression In the mems clothing
manufacturing industry will be
short lived, in tho opinion Of
William Goldman, Of Cohen, Gold
man & Co., prominent New York
manufacturing clothiers, Hs ex-
poets period Of activity to be we'll
under way by midsummer of next
year.
$50 Far as the manufacturing end
Of the clothing trade is concerned"
he said yesterday, "the business has
been quite stagnant for sixty days.
This has been due to warm weather
and the declining market Retailers
have been endeavoring to get their
stocks in shape, which they are do
ing through reductions in prices.
The retail business, however, has
been satisfactory, except recently.
"A considerably reduced volume
OF clothing has been manufa ctured
for fall and winter, and, although
there have been heavy cancellations
and returns, the clothing ought to
be readily absorbed at the reduced
prices at which 1t will be offered
later.
Although forward movement
will require time, fundamental con-
ditions indicate that the depression
will be short lived. A healthy re-
vision downward will insure q sound
foundation for business activity,
which ought to be we'll under way
before midsummer.
Business men generally are for
tilted by several years Of good busl-
ness to withstand losses they will
now incur, and look for little seri-
Gus trouble as the result Of the
present liquidation"

g. Has the foreign trade Of the United
growth during the war period? Or
nave we been deluding ourselves by
accepting the increased valuations re-
suitlng from the higher prices. ire
spectlve OF real gains or losses in the
quantity of merchandise imported or
exported? "a
A close analysis Of our export trade
IN 1870, which shows an increase Of
so,ooo 100000 over 1914, indicates that
the percentage of gain in quantity cx-
ported IN the six-year period is but
little greater than the percentage of
increase in quantity in the like period
Immediately preceding the war. The
increase IN quantity Of merchandise
exported In the siX-year period 1914
1920 was, rs nearly as can be deter
mined, approximately 35 per cent,
while the increase in quantity exported
IN the slX-year period 1908-1914 au-
proximated 20 per cent.
NO exact comparisons of the uuan-
tlty OF all merchandise imported into
or exported from the United States.
1920 and 1914, can be made, for the
reason that in many articles the import
or export figures do not in any way in
olcate the quantity moved, but state
only valuations. In about three-fourths,
however, Of the imports or exports, as
measured by values, quantities are
stated. and it is possible in every case
in which quantities are stated to de-
termine the percentage Of increase in
quantity, item by item, Of the articles
thus enumerated as entering or leav-
ing the country.
1t will be seen, by examination of tho
table, that for the principal articles in
which quantities can be shown, the
number Of pounds of merchandise i'm
ported increased about sc per cent
when comparing the fiscal year Of 1920
with 1914, but that the valuation of
New-York tribune., 1920-10-31

1920 averaged 1929 a pound. or coffee
the import price in 1914 averaged II /
cents pound and in 1920 21.9 a pound.
and IN raw sugar the average import
price stood in 1914 at just 2 cents a
pound and in 1920 averaged 9.O5 cents
pound. On the other hand certain
equally important articles Of import,
notably rubber and jute, show lower
prices in 1920 than in 1914.
The disproportionate increase In val
ues, when compared with those Of
quantities, is further illustrated by a
comparison of the percentage of in
crease in valuation of certain articles
imported as compared with the per
centage in increase in quantity. In
rice, the increase in imports, compar-
ing 1920 with 1914. was 10 per cent in
quantity. but 240 per cent in value.
and the $17,000,O00 worth of rice i'm
ported in 1920 would have cost at the
1914 prices only little over SIS 900 900.
Sugar imported showed an increase
OF only 80 per cent in quantity, but an
advance of SIP per cent in value; the
$6SS 100000 worth of sugar imported
in the fiscal year 1920 could have been
bought at 1914 prices for S152, ,0OO, 600,
yet the quantity imported at this ex-
tremely high price was greater than
ever before.
The fact that the big increase in our
export figures is chiefly due to high
prices, while startling to those who
felt pride in the growth of our export
trade and especially the large excess
of exports over imports which we have
maintained for many years, is not so
surprising when we consider that the
United States Is reaching the stage
reached by all fully developed nations

Operation of the M. IN. A. Railroad
 May be Stopped

Little Rock, July %. That the op- eration of the Missouri and North Arkansas railroad will have to be discontinued unless relief is grant ed in the near future is the opinion of c. A. Phelan, receiver and general manager of the road who has asked the interstate commerce commission to grant the officials of the road a hearing on the situation that now exists even with the proposed in crease in freight rates.
 Mir. Phelan in communication to T. E. Wood chairman of the corpo- ration commission declared that "There is some question at this time as to the ability of this railroad to continue operations after September IT."
 "We are restricted under the trans portation act,' said he, "from doing anything more than we have done in the way of reducing transportation expenses. Our greatest trouble to- day is the excessive payroll the rail- road is carrying. With our income running to about $150,000 per month We have monthly payroll amount ing to about $l20,o0o; in other words,

HEADS | WIN; TALES YOU LOSE

lie strange CWistS ano VuiHs thAe may be given to politics when the game is viewed through the eyes of partisanship were never better illus trated than in an interview given sev- cral days ago to the Chicago Evening Post by Holm Bursum, national com mitteeman from New Mexico, says the Commcrcial-Appea Mir. Bursum vol unteers the information that the wool and cattle growers of the Rocky Mountain states will vote the repub- licnn ticket this fall in order to pun ish the democratic party for the de- cline in wool and cattle prices. The ahccp and cattle raisers, according to a MT. Bursum, are verging on bank xuptcy and they look upon the elec- ' ton of the republican ticket as their means of salvation.
 The republican committeeman says thcra has been steady decline in wool and cattle prices since the arm- istice was signed. He himself admits < that the slump, especially in the. case ef wool. has been due chiefly to a 1allinR off in the demand, but still he olaima that the mountain growers be- ;. nave that pressure exerted by the
 Saaocratic administration has been responsible. Easing his prediction upon tho correctness of his own in- formation, Mir. Bursum says these 5 Western states will be found in the xepuhlican column next November
 Now this sentiment and determina- ton on the part of the mountain vot- ers may or may not prevail, but it seems more than likely that in the case of MT. Bursum at least the wish n father to the thought. The New Mexico man sees things, of course, through colored glasses and in doing 6o, according to his own statement, ke is unjust to the stock growers of Inc mountain region. These men are opposed to the democratic party, he sAys, because they have been damaged financially through causes other than the actions of this party. They might int n logically be for or against thc reelection of any candidate be- S1Ause during his regime nature sup 1iea rood or bad crops. In so far TT the ascribing of such motives to eke stock growers is manifestly re- 3lection upon their intelligence and fAirnesa, we are bound to question the { %Securacy of MT. Bursum's conclusions.
 Hut even more inconsistent is the Gktompt to make of falling prices a xsaoon why the present national ad- &inistr1tion should be repudiated. In m other sections of the country the republicans arc appealing for votes $ SS the ground that the democrats 2 gknxe failed to reduce the high cost X TT living. The republican platform Sven commends that party's efforts to < lover nrices that are unnecessary and unfuse. MT. Bursum's statement ]. flerefore, puts the republicans in the S;nntradictory attitude of seeking votes < fSr the reason that the democrats I'VE not lowered prices. In other 5J1rds. when the political coin is 5 ;Ifpned this fall the republicans would & Ive us believe that if it turns heads

ANSWERED..

0. Can you tell me something about sarcoma? It is benign growth? Is it likely to recur after removal?
 A. A sarcoma is not a benign yrowth, but belongs to the class of malignant growths usually embraced in the term Cancer" used by the laity. It is impossible to give defi- mite information concerning reccur- renee after removal of a sarcoma, but this is an event the possibility of which must be considered for some time after apparently successful re- moval or X-ray treatment. It is suggested that you disccuss the mat ter with your physician, who will be in better position to advise you than we are.

HYSTERIA.

Hysteria is functional affection of the mind and nervous system usually affecting women. It is characterized by temporary loss Of willpower and with considerable em- otional display; the affected persons laugh and sob immoderately without regard to surroundings.
 The importance of giving this con- dition special consideration lies in the fact that it sometimes assumes form which may be mistaken for fainting, shock or epilepsy, accord ing to the manifestations of the pa- tient. A case of hysteria may be distinguished from fainting as fol- lows: In fainting the face and ex- tremitics are cold and the pulse is very weak and apparently lost, where as in hysteria the face and cxtremi- ties are warm and the pulse is nor maj An effort to open the eyelids in hysteria meets with opposition, but with none in fainting. In hys- teria, which stimulates epilepsy, the tongue is not injured, and, if the patient falls to the ground, suit able place is selected for this pur- pose to avoid injury. There is no frothing at the mouth unless soap or other agents are used for this pur- pose.
 Treatment-The most effective treatment for hysteria is to let the person alone; to sympathize usually prolongs the attack and does no good. Firmness on the part Of the attendant, with an intimation that the condition is fully understood is usually all that is required. It is common practice to douche hyster- ical patient with cold water; there is very little excuse for such rough treatment, particularly as the per son affected is apt to be delicate woman,
