S HI USED 70 Be A
TOM boy" SHE MAY
Be FIRST LADY Of THE
Ia ND At WHITE HOUSE.

Marion, Ohio. Aug. 1O.-Mrs. War
rem c.. Harding, wife Of the republi-
can presidential nominee, was born
and reared in this city and was mar
ried TO Senator Harding in the house
On Mt. Vernon avenue where the
Harding's now live.
While few residents Of Marion say
they over thought OF Warren Hard
ing, when a boy, as president of the
United States, many of them, and
particularly the women, say they
pictured Mrs. Harding as the first
lady Of the land.
Many Of Mrs. Harding's gir'hood
chums are still living in Marion. They
all speak Of her as Florence She
never had a nickname, they say, but
most everyone spoke of her when
q girl as "Tomboy," "Harum.Scarum, %
Stubborn" Jolly" or Daredevil"
One thing is certain, however-Mar,
ion women are roofing for Mrs. Hard
ing. They are roofing for her, they
say, because she has a mind Of her
own, generally manages TO get what
she wants, is thoroughly democratic,
likes to give and go to parties, is in
terested in u hundred and one things,
knows how to talk to everyone, Tin
Guiding mem and once she knows
YOU, she always knows you"
Mrs. Harding in Marion has a repu-
tation Of being a real woman Many
residents congratulate Warren Hard
ing more N his wife than his politi-
cal career and some Of them who are
roofing a little harder han others
for her say "she is the real power
behind the throne"
Mrs. Harding was born August Is.
1850, and is five years Senator Hard
ing's senior. She attended the public

Prevails in Shoe Trade

Conditions in the various local shoe
factories vary greatly as to fall bust
ness, although all manufacturers agree
that late 1920 sales will not approach
those for the fall of 1919. While
one of the largest Brooklyn shoe fac
tories reports large orders on hand,
another big plant is now operating CO
a curtailed four-day week schedule ow-
ing to the lack of fall business. Others
are operating with depleted forces and
are making fewer shoes. One Of the
big New York companies specializing
in novelties has found business good
enough to increase production and hire
new help.
Statesmen report slowness on the part
OF many retailers to order for fall.
although a STEADY improvement is
noted. There is an increased call for
medium grades. and manufacturers of
lower priced merchandise are doing a
good business. The transportation
situation is still acute and factories
are having considerable difficulty in
obtaining materials and shipping fin
ished stocks.
Manufacturers of women's footwear
are doing good business, especially
| in the brogue oxford and the satin
pump. Sales of women's shoes at pres
ent are larger than those Of mems foot
wear. The instep tie pumps in dark
brown or mahogany and black are in
leader. There is an increasing demand
for boots for fall, and instead of the
call for oxfords for fall being placed at
50 per cent of the amount Of business.

SILKS-Prices Low
and Business Dull

Small silk goods Jobbers and some
manufacturers who have little re-
serve stock on hand, according to their
own statements. are Offering their mer-
chandisc at from Is to 20 per cent less
rhan the cost of production. Such
goods, however, are not of the highest
lvpe. and include few of the better
Known branded staples or novelties
and almost no goods suitable for fall
use. Throughout the trade it is re-
norted that business is extremely dull.
The women's garment industry, which
Is winding I'D the worst spring season
in seven years, according to trade lead
ers, is holding off placing orders for
new supplies Of silk goods. Retailers
are working on a hand-to-mouth basis,
and within the last two weeks have cut
down their purchases still further, ac-
cording to silk statesmen.
Raw silk. after its sensational de-
cline late last week and early this
week, appears to be gaining strength.
Quotations arc still at variance, but
dealers in many cases have advanced
their prices. One dealer, who on Tues
day was asking S11.75 for Sinshiu No.
/, yesterday gave price of $3.50. In
some quarters of the raw silk trade it
is rumored that some of the largest
silk manufacturers in the country
placed heavy orders when the market
reached it's low level on Tuesday.

JEWELRY-D;amonds
Bring Higher Prices Abrood

Diamonds, emeralds, pearls and
other precious stones are selling in
the foreign markets at prices ranging
from Is to % per cent above domestic
quotations, according to importers just
back from abroad. There is shortage
of all kinds of precious stones in Lon
don. Paris, Antwerp and Amsterdam
it is reported, and because they pass
through many hands before reaching
the final purchaser, prices are excess
i've. Many of the smaller Anne rican
buyers are hesitatng to pay the prices
asked by foreign dealers, and conse-
quently are returning home empty
handed.
Because Of the shortage Of labor
the stone cutters in Paris have little
merchandise to offer American buyers
Wages in this industry are said to
have made startling advances since the
war, and this naturally has caused the
price to advance.
German interests continue to be
heavy purchasers Of diamonds in the
Amsterdam market, but importers here
say individuals rather than German
tradesmen are doing the buying, and
for that reason few precious stones
held in Germany will find their way
to the United States.
