Last Thursday was the second
anniversary of Amistice Day. Two
years ago you and ! believed the
war was over. In the nineteen
months previous to the Armistice
the United States had raised and
equipped more than 100000 men.
transported half this number across
the Atlantic ocean, and by her mill
tary and economic strength aided
in bringing the World War TO a
decisive conclusion. But. alsa,
the hopes Of the great common peo-
pie OFT glang aglee. When the
game called politics is played. the
welfare OF nation is laid aside.
Two years have passed and yet the
treaty remains unratifed by this
country. We wonder what another
year vii! bring forth. Let's hope
for the best.

New Idea for Pictures.

1t is not often that an entirely new
method of producing pictures is dis
covered. and an Oregon artist is at
tracing considerable attention with
a process as pleasing as it is original.
Instead of using fluid pigments Of any
kind, bits of colored cloth, painstaking-
ly cut to particular shape and size
u each detail OF the work. are pasted
upon the canvas background, which Is
stretched over thin board. Some Of
the almost infnlteslma1 particles OF
fabric are shredded out to iiere threads
TO get The desired effect, while the
bulkier objects Of the scene are built
up in relief, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. A sharp-pointed stick
serves as brush for this curious art.
The finished pictures exemplify the
remarkable results attained when pa
tience and the artistic sense are CO.
ordinated.

JEWELRY-Watch Company
To Adrnnce Prices

A new price schedule, showing ad-
vances of per cent on first grade
watches and 10 per cent on the cheaper
grades, will be put into effect by a
large American watch company within
the next few days. Although there
seems to be general feeling in the
retail trade that watches are now
bringing enough, manufacturers say
that the high cost of materials and
labor is responsible for the expected
advance.
Many buyers from abroad visited
local jobbers and Connecticut watch
manufacturers in the last week, and are
reported to have placed large orders
for all kinds of watches. With the
domestic demand showing a let-up,
manufacturers are only too anxious to
accept these orders. A large part of
the demand is for the radcliffe watch,
which is particularly popular in the
South American countries. Wrist
watches of all descriptions also are
meeting with favor.
Several cases of German made clocks

timepieces at low figures, but he was
afraid the clocks would not sell. Sew
eral other jobbers are reported to have
been approached by representatives of
German manufacturers

COTTONS-Converters
Find Gray Goods Scarce

Converters who have entered the
gray or unfinished goods market after
period of little buying assert that
they are unable to find sufficient
goods to meet their needs. This is
particularly true of fine print cloths
and sheetings used by converters of
fancy and novelty goods for the dress
trade. One converter who yesterday
felt that the market had stiffened suf-
fciently for him to operate as far
ahead as September, and who tried to
place orders accordingly said that he
was able to buy only half the amount
he wanted.
Commission houses from which he
formerly purchased goods told him
that all available yardage was going
to the mechanical rubber, imitation
leather, bag and fur trades. The last
named is newcomer in the cotton
goods market. According to reports
manufacturing furriers have turned to
the use of high-grade gray goods for
drafting their patterns and are taking
considerable yardage.
The market is particularly tight In
gray sateens, and this situation is be-
ing further increased by the absorb
tlon of one of the largest mills pro!
ducing sateens by an automobile tire
concern.
Manufacturers Of children's garments
are beginning to buy sample pieces OF
finished cottons for their fall trade
Heavy buying in this direction has
not materialized, although ordinarily
much fall business would have been
booked by this time.

American staple furs to be offered at
the spring sale Of the New York Fur
Auction Sales Corporation, yester-
day dropped IN price along with the
fancy furs sold Monday and Tuesday.

clined SO per cent from those ruling in

placed tn edecline in opossum at 25

Chinchilla, one of the most expensive
skins, showed a decline estimated at
6o per cent from February's prices.
Russian sable appeared to hold it's own
at prices which have changed little in
the past year.
Compared to the spring sale in 1919.
the company announced, northern otter
advanced 40 per cent; southern otter.
70 per cent; leopard, 20 per cent;

S1LKS-Some Manufacturers
Cutting DO1pIl Production

Continued light buying of silk goods
by jobbers, retailers and garment man.
ufacturcrs has caused few manufac-
turers to cut down the production in
their mills. In some of the Paterson
mills weavers who have been attend
ing to three looms have been cut to
one loom, while other mills are closing
down for two or three days a week.
Efforts to cut the pay of weavers and
other mill workers who work on the
piecework basis, it is said, have not
been successful.
Despite the reported drop in the
prices OF raw silks some manufacturers
assert that they have been unable to
find any large quantities of raw stock
at greatly reduced prices. The uncer-
tainty of the market, however, is caus-
ing them to hold off replenshing their
stocks of the raw fibre. Dealers in
raw silks reported some trading in
small lots. For the time being spun
silk has passed raw silk in prices. Cables
from Japan indicate a firmer tendency
in raw silk prices

Commodity Prices
Likely to Remain
High, Says Sisson
Pause to Survey Needs by
Business Men Is the Most
Hopeful Sign at Present,
Furnishing Trade Is Told

Excessive and wasteful expenditures
by the government, unduly high taxes
on business and incomes, the attitude
Of labor as evidenced in decreased pro-
duction and strikes and the credit
stringency, according to Francis IL.
Sisson, vice-president of the Guaranty
Trust Company, all tend toward a
maintenance Of high prices for some
time to come. Speaking before the first
annual dinner of the National Whole
sale Mems Furnishings Association at
the Hotel Astor last night, Mr.. Sisson
dwelt on these topics.
"In view of all these circumstances, +"
he said, "it is difficult to understand
how commodity prices can decline ma
terially in the immediate future. But
this is period in which there is ample
opportunity and urgent demand for the
use of foresight, common sense eau
ton and conservatism in business. By
the use of such qualities we cannot only
preserve our prosperity, but also in
crease it and put it on sounder basis.
1.-The fact that men of responsibility
throughout the country Are pausing to
survey their immediate needs in light
of the general situation, is one of the
most promising signs of the hour
They are realizing that it is much
easier and wiser to transact business
more in harmony with their capital and
resources than to reach out for the
last dollar at the expense of borrowed
money"
Mr.. Sisson denounced the national
administration for eXtravagances and
said that excessive expenditures prom
ised to continue. Reports of reductions
in expenditures he characterized as
Campaign camoufage' He asserted
that there was need of sweeping re-
| organization of the executive depart
ments to cut red tape and save hun
dreds of millions of dollars.
He estimated that the loss to the
government through the railroad strike
and the bituminous coal strike would
total more than S3,000,0OO, which must
be borne by the tax payers. since the
government had guaranteed a return
to the railways.
Repeal of the excess profits tax was
urged by Mr.. Sisson. He also favored
reduction in income taxes. Mr. Sisson
said there was Slight possibility of
easier money this year. He described
the efforts toward defation throug.
the limitation of commercial loans.
There were 200 wholesale furni hers
and representatives of leading retail
concerns throughout the country at the
dinner. Other speakers were w. B.
Colver, Federal Trade Commissioner;
Francis Harvey Green, professor Of
English literature at the State Normal
School, West Chester, Pa, and John ].
Cavanagh, of the Crofut & Knapp Com
pany.
