an eruption of banknotes amount

now high enough to bring the
matter UP into Ben Prices class
OF work. By comparing notes, a
remarkable similarity in the
methods OF the burglaries was
noticed. Ben Price Investigated
the scenes of the robberies, and
was heard to remark:
That's Dandy Jim Valentines
autograph. He's resumed business.
Look at that combination knob
jerked out as easy as pulling up
a radish in wet weather. He's got
the only clamps that can do It..
And look how clean those tum-
blers were punched out. Jimmy
never has to drill but one hole.
Yes, ! guess I want Mr.. Valentine.
He'll do his bit next time without
any short-time or clemency fool
ishness."
Ben Price knew Jimmy's habits.
He had learned them while work
ing up the Springfield case. Long
Jumps, quick getaways, no con-
federates, and a taste for good
society-these ways had helped
Mr.. Valentine to become noted as
a successful dodger of retribution.

had taken UP the trail of the
elusive cracksman, and other peo-
pie. with burglar-proof safes felt
more at ease.
One afternoon Jimmy Valentine
and his suitcase climbed out of
the mail-hack in Elmore. a little
town FIVE miles off the railroad
down in the black jack country
OF Arkansas. Jimmy, looking
like an athletic young senior
just home from college, went down
the board sidewalk toward the
hotel.

No Drop in Dry Goods

"Mere Man" Credited With
Success of St. Louis Fashion
Pageant, Which Ran 3 Weeks

There is an earnest and modest
man in st. Louis named Flint Gar
rison. who edits trade publication
called the Drygoodsman. To him
the merchants Of the city ascribe
much OF the success of the style
show or fashion pageant which for
three weeks tested the capacity OF
the monster Municipal Theater in
Forest Park.
The love of beautiful raiment has
been with the daughters Of Eve
since the episode in the Garden Of
Eden. Mr.. Garrison. taking this
craving of women for fine attire
and the desire Of men to crafty
it, planned a pageant or play in
four acts in which the story of the
periods of wool. of leather and
pelts, OF cotton and Of silk are pic
turcd. The thread OF the dream or
ambition of women for fine clothes
goes through the STORY and is re-
vealed in pantomimic scenes and
settings and dances. incidental to
these scenes models or mannequins
appear in the most beautiful OF
garments and, moving in rhythmic
accord to the strains of the best Of
march music. go through a series
OF evolutlons on the mammoth
stage and then, still keeping step
with the music. leave the stage and
parade across platform set in the
center OF the mammoth auditorium.
The models necessarily must he at

Mukden. Aug. 24.-The American
congressional party. upon its depar-
ture from Chinese territory left the
following farewell message to the
people:
Our reception in every city and
community visited in China gave US
undisputable evidence of the friend
ship of the Chinese people. We con-
strue this manifestation of friendly
spirit as intended for the Ameri-
can people as a whole, whom we in
part represent.
Our tour of China has been most
informing, and will enable US to ap-
preciate more intelligently the prob
lens of China. We shall convey to
Congress and the American people
the information - have received,
and will apprise TN of the cour-
tesies extended us. Upon leaving
Chinese soil. we wish to express
again our gratitude for the hos
pitality extended. Above all, the
ladies of the party especially wish
to express their thanks for many
graceful courtosies."

no decline. Our buyer came back
from Paris without a single foreign
hat, reporting that prices were soar
ing to impossible heights. 1t is
probable that foreign hats will be
up about 200 or 800 per cent over
prewar prices. The prices on Amer
ican millinery will show an increase
over last falls quotations, in my
opinion"
Fur Market Encouraging.
A survey of the market for fall
furs is more encouraging for buyers
as a great quantity Of skins ar,
availa BILE for the manufacturers and
prices of skins are rapidly declining.
With the exception of Hudson Bay
sealskin. coats, furs generally will
be down from 20 to 40 per cent for
the fall
The decline in raw skins recently
has spelt ruin for a number of big
concerns about New York. according
to local dealers. Muskrat skins
which brought as high as s.. have
dropped to below 50.
This will undoubtedly mean a
resulting reduction OF about 40 per
cent below last years prices.
A further decline in sugar prices
was predicted Yesterday by the
Department of Justice. due to the
forced release of sugar stocks
through tightened bank credit.
Another good reason" said one
retailer yesterday, lis the fact that
thousands of tons of Java and
Brazilian sugar are being dumped
on the American market, and this
sells for less than American granu-
lated. But prices are much higher
than in August. 1919. During that
month We were selling sugar at
$500 a hundred pounds. The stand
ard price now is $17OO, although
some lots are going for as low as
Sl4.0O and $500.
Food Market Higher.
"On the general run of food
stuffg, I should say that the pres
ent Washington market is from 20
TO 30 per cent higher than in Au-
gust. 1913"
There is no marked difference in
produce prices for the two periods,
although many fluctuations are oC-
curing, due to an overstocked or
understocked market. Potatoes in
August, 1919, were sold wholesale
from $3.50 to 1915 sack, while TIE
present quotation ranges from 81 to
s4.75. Sweet potatoes, 1919, $6. so to
