NXTHEN the creator of wraps is in
w structed to put his ability to
the test and make a garment that will

the sides and front. 1t is continued
in narrow bands that run to the shoul-

line the center panels. The full draped
sleeves are finished with bands of fur
in close cuffs.
1t takes more money to indulge IN
fur as a trimming than many people
care to spend for it, but designers are
equal to the requirement of turning out
handsome coats without it. The coat
at the left of the illustration, which
is untrimmed except for narrow tucks
in the material on collar and cuffs. is
a fine example Of elegance in a plain
model. It has a narrow girdle that
emerges at the sides through slashes,
and is tied loosely across the front.

True Standards of Action
"The struggle and effort Of progress
and civilization Is to have men see
things as they are. 1t is the attempt
to establish true standards of belief
and of action. While this is given very
there is nothing in the business world
that compares with it in Importance
Unless men can rely on certain OBJ
servances there is no foundation for
that confidence which is the sole sup
port of a prosperous economic rela-
tionship.
Because the City Of New York
comes more in contact with the bust
ness interests Of the nation and the
the standards which are set here have
a Tremendous influence in molding and
fixing the universal standards of bust
ness Standards here have been and
are high. ] am not unaware OF the
criticism that is and has been made
of the business interests Of New York
City. Wherever there is shipping on
sea there is piracy; wherever there is
commerce on land there is larceny. But
shipping and commerce are not en-
trusted to pirates and thieves, they
never developed trade or established
bank or mercantile house. 1t takes
of oh ~ int Nv To
and maintain commerce and banking.
A great city can be constructed only
by great people. Men do not entrust
their treasure to those who cannot
command their confidence.
Business Must Meet Obligations
public policy demands that business
obligations be met and be enforced
even when they are not profitable. On
that policy our present condition would
be less serious, depression would be
less marked and recovery would be
quicker. There is no such thing as
divorcing success and observance of
the moral requirements of life.
"Wc have sought in our economic
relations false independence and
false freedom. Men are not and can
not be in any of the relations of life
Independent of the moral laws. The
self direction in doing right. There
cannot be any economic prosperity to
a people who do not keep the faith.
Morals lie in the process rather than
tho result
From 1915 to 1920 Americans have
believed themselves in easy circum-
stances. True, prices were high but
the rewards of effort seemed higher
still. All seemed so easy that people
came to a condition where they did
not care. There seemed to be an i'm
possible demand for all human en-
deavor. 1t mattered little then
whether duties were done, there was
complete spirit Of take it or leave it,
it is all you will get, Of quality or
quantity in goods or in service. This
meant that people were not insisting
on or meeting their obligations. Such
n condition could have but one result"

Governor Calvin Coolidge, of Massa-

ing last night at the dinner given in
his honor by the Business Mems As
sociation, at the Biltmore Hotel, made
& strong plea for the better observance
CT the moral law in business and a truer
understanding by business men Of
their obligations to the community.
Governor Coolidge said that the pres
ent Democratic Administration had
sought to avoid its moral obligations
during the years before this country
entered the World War, and he de-
nounced similar practices by men in
business who seek their own profit at
the expense OF justice to others.
He spoke for clean, old-fashioned
on its side, during the coming four
years Of Republican rule. He said he
believed the result of the November
election showed an awakening of the
moral spirit of the people. who still be-
lieved that honesty Is the best policy.
He declared the people wanted to re-
turn to an administration of govern
ment affairs without any kind of out
side dictation.

BLAIR HAS A Plan.
National Speaker Should
Answer Cox in Topeka.
Democratic Leader Sarcastic
cally Accepts Dolley's Idea.~

Robert w. Blair, prominent Topeka
lawyer and leader in Democrat state
politics, believes that by all means the
Republicans should follow J. n. Dol
ley's suggestion and send speaker of
national reputation to Topeka to an
swer Governor Cox. So in speaking
for the Dolley motion, Blair proceeds
to rub a little saH on such tender
spots as may be the Republican
leadership regarding League of Ma
ton views.
BIair's bit of sarcasm and wit only
tends to force the league issue in the
campaign in this state. His prompt
and straight from the shoulder reply
to County Chairman Dolley suggests
several speakers-any of whom would
probably not prove just the man Dol
ley had in mind for the job of answer
ing Cog Last, but not least, Blair
urges the selection of SENATOR Capper.
Then he proceeds to quote from edi-
torials in Senator Capper's paper.
This mornings Capital says Chair
man Joe Dolley wants a Republican
OF national reputation to answer Gov
ernor Cox on the League of, Nations
man like Taft, but says Taft himself
will not DO. probably because he
knows Cox and Taft are not very far
apart on<the league. Why not bring
Elihu Root, who has just returned
from forming plans for the organiZa-
ton of the International Court of the
League of Nations? Or why not get
Sen. Hiram johnson, who will gladly
take issue with Cox? Or perhaps Sem
ator Borah can be coaxed back, as
this mornings Capital has big black
headline, entitled Harding Finds No
Lack of Harmony With Borah.'
| Then there is Bing Bang Biby also
mentioned in this mornings Capital.
How will he do? But why go from
home? Senator Capper has national
| reputation. and he is about as full of
views on the league of nations as
Harding himself. On the editorial
page of the Capital of September %,
he took Senator johnson to task for
| saying Harding had strapped the
I league, in the following language:
"Inasmuch as the league stopped
