The well-to-do Sc the fashions in
this country. Just now they show
tendency toward starting an economy
fad. Economy threatens TO become
popular craze. I. would have behind
il an emotional impulse that is much
stronger than argument or reason. A
seedy suit may become a badge of
good citizenship, and a battered hat
no longer a sign of poverty. Fashion
can do much more than all the ser
mons on thrift that could be written.
The rich who formerly set the exam
pie OF extravaganza, which they might
have felt they could afford. are now
refusing to buy. They may not wear
overalls. but they are making their old
clothes do service for another season.
THEY are getting their shoes half
solcd; they are having their old hats
cleaned and furnished with fresh
bands. They are wearing soft collars
to save laundry bills and also to save
collars. They are telling their friends
about it and their friends are telling
others The economy movement is
permeating all ranks Of society and is
having its effect on prices. Wanna
maker sees what is coming and is Of
fering his entire stock at a discount of
20 per cent. Powerful is the force of
example. A clerk or q mechanic does
not buy a $40 silk shirt because he
thinks it IS better than one made of
cotton. He wants it because he sees
others higher in the social scale wear
ing silk shirts and, as he has the
money. he demands the best" The
same principle applies to the pur-
chases made by the young women
drawing twice the salaries they re-
ceived a few years ago.

Japan is in the throes of a drastic
financial readjustment OF a panicky
nature as a result of overspeculation
and excessive foreign purchases of
commodities, but it's underlying eco
nomic position is sound, according to
Akira Den, head of the Japanese
financial commission in New York.
The present depression in Japan, it is
said, has hit spectators, profiteers
and importers chiefly. Late in March,
Mr.. Den declared, the peak of COM
modify prices was attained. and since
then the decline has been rapid.
Something OF Il similar nature appears
10 be about due in this country. But
the federal reserve board probably can
be relied upon to keep the financial
ship on an even keel until the storm
has passed.

SCARCITY AMIDST PLENTY.

Never before in the history of the

The report pointed out the fact of
the absence of such free investment
