OLD CLOTHES

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. 60HERE is a moral to be pointed
 from the present vogue of wear
 S ing apparel no longer new. We have discovered the value of what we used to throw or give away with scarcely a qualm. We have found that what we regarded as too far gone to be of use has a little wear left in it st:ll. and we have been taught that in clothes, as in food we had an extrav- agant way of acting as though the supply were illimitable.
 Not all the old habits of the mind and body deserve to be cast offs. Not all of our histories, our traditions, our blind beliefs, deserve to be discarded simply because they have lived a long time and were dear to our forefathers. Some old people deserve and receive a greater love than In the days of their youth. An era impatient of progress is not sure of a gain by a contemptu- ous rejection of the things that were acceptable ages ago.
 Not all the beauty is of youth and all the flowers do not bloom in the spring. Age brings a ripening mellowness that has a charm of its own-a boise and a serenity, sense of values and a tenn

What Bank Clearings
 Increase Signifies

ID IRMINGHAM bank clearings for lO the first five months of the year show an increase of 66 per cent over the same period in 1919.
 The May clearings show a slight increase over those of January. This is very unusual, January clearings be- ing usually larger than those of any of the spring months.
 Birmingham bank clearings do not accurately reflect the volume of Bir- mingham financial business compared with that of other cities, because Bir- mingham has few clearing house banks and the clearing house system here counts as clearings only those that are actually exchanged by banks. However, Birmingham's own record of any one period compared WlIn dHOliler peIlOu uOSo oiioW Whoe lis going on financially, commercially and industrially.
 The increase in 1920 is due to greater volume of business trans acted, to larger pay rolls and to the operation of new industries. Among the latter may be mentioned the three new by-product plants. The list of new commercial enterprises would be long one. Two additional stove and pipe works are about to be- gin operations. A large fireproofiag works is another entrant.
 There has been no suspension of industrial operations, but. on the con- trary, iron and steel manufacture is seeking new high levels. When the
