ing the story OF the before" and
after" oh each delegate, were
shown in the convention hall After
the convention, the delegates at
tended their first annual dinner.
which was combined with a dis
tribution OF presents from America.
Jokes About Faces.
The most successful address Of
the convention was made by ladies
hairdresser who lost his nose
through a shell explosion. AS he
told his comrades in a humorous
speech:
Without my nose my job was
gone. for how could a nOseless Golf
feur hope TO please lady customers?
Already melancholy had marked me
for its own. when the mask expert
took my case In hand, and so sue
cessfully, that l am now doing
rushing business in my old trade"
In conclusion he asked his COM
rades to accept each a cake of soap
and a bottle Of scent, which he said
he had personally tested"
Facial Masks Used.
These American made Portrait
Masks" which are the only ones in
France. are made of light weight
copper plate, enamelled in flesh
tints. Besides concealing facial scars
they serve as a most successful
camOuflage for missing features.
They are an adoption of the mask
invented by Capt. Dorwent. Wood of
the British Army. The work owes
its origin to Mrs. Maynard Ladd, OF
Boston, who devised tho American
mask. and to Miss Marie Louise
Brent, OF Columbus, Ohio, who took
charge OF the Portrait Mask
Studio" Miss Brent recently mar
ried Monsieur Despreaux. director
of one of the most important Ii
braries in Paris.

Neither British bankers nor the

Country'S Position.
~ Associated Press

LONDON. Feb. 21.-Great Britain
is fundamentally sound. both fnan-
cially and commercially, says the
American cham Der OF CONNIE cree OF
London, in a statement referring TO
differences in the financial position
OF Great Britain and the continen-
tai European countries The cham
Der expresses the belief that the re-
cent unprecedented drop IN sterling

Illuminated largely by the address OF
the chairmen OF five leading British
banks to their stockholders in an
Hual meeting. the chamber OF com
merce has prepared a message to
the American business public. The
message follows In part.
Is Monetary Center.
The collapse Of the pound ster-
ling in New York is no index to
Great Britain's financial strength or
weakness. London IS today. as be-
fore the war. the monetary center
OF Europe. With inadequate assist
ance from American credit In Eu-
rope, Great Britain has been forced
10 supply the credit needs Of the
continent as we'll as those Of her
own traders.
Dollar exchange is really New
York Europe not New York-LOn-
don exchange. Great Britain is
neither bankrupt nor anywhere near
IL. although her external debt is
larger than ever before In her his
tory. This debt was incurred main
~ 20 supply the needs of her con-
tinental allies and she Is owed ap-
proximately twice as much as she
owes America. While America may
fairly expect to collect all her Brit
ish debt, Great Britain Is preparing
to write off so percent Of her con-
tinentaI debt.
Business sound
TN spite of these facts. British
business and finance are I'm . funda-
mentally sound condition. Business
men and workers are recovering
from the demoralizing effeC . OF the
war. Their customary energy is re-
viving and British factories are in
creasing their output According to

OF COTTONS
GENERALLY STEADY
Chicago Wholesale Quotations
Down Two to Ten Cents
on Many Lines
MONEY NEEDS PRESSING

chicago. July 30.-The consensu;
among delegates to the National Retail
Dry Goods convention is that woolens
are rather weak, but cottons fairly
frm, despite or on account of the fact
that Chicago wholesale prices Of staple
cottons and domestics have been re-
vised downward on many lines two to
ten cents a yard. The Dry Goods Re-
porter says: I'VE wonder what re :
tail merchants will do now? Consumers
seek lower prices and should find them
and will find them in stores that are
merchandising just as aggressively on
declining market as they did going
up.
Gray Goods Trade ListIess
Gray goods quotations are now
considerably below. a year ago. with
less inquiry for goods. Trade Is iistless
despite lessening production of staple
merchandise that is bound to be
wanted later. It becomes more and
more apparent that the financial sit
uation Is forcing some smaller holders
of merchandise to liquidate when the,
would prefer to hold. in firm belief that
later reaction would bring them antici.
pated profits.
Hundreds of retail buyers are in
this market, buying very conserva-
lively. visiting big dealers here and en- =
joying vacations. The moderate price
revision now going on is healthy, for
I 1t is carrying prices downward by easy
stages, which allows the active mer :
chant time to follow the market down
ward and still make money"
The John V. Farwel Co. reports
July business very much larger than a
year ago and collections very good.
Whi1o Monfponpry Word G. ~
July sales are 3S per cent more than a
year ago. mail order sales in general
are nearly 10 per cent less. The de-
cline in rural buying is attributed
partially to a decreased buying ten
dency. which, in turn. is due largely
to freight congestion and high money
rates and partly to unusual farm
activities as the result of the late sea
son and labor shortage.
