TUG OF WAR HAS COME

The situation in the textile trades at the moment, so far as buying and selling is concerned, parallels to a considerable exten t the event that comes off when Greek joins Greek On the one hand are the jobbers and the retailers, abetted by the public, refusing to buy more than relatively trivial amounts of goods at one time until prices get more to their liking. On the other hand are the manufac- ! turers, who say that as long as ma terial and labor costs stay high, they are not going to make up goods any faster that the buyers order them Closing mills and shortened weekly working schedules prove that the manufacturers are carrying their threats into effect, but how long they can afford to stick to their guns is a matter of conjecture.

A session was finally held on June IA, but the Liberals claimed there was an "illegal quo rum present. When the minutes of that meeting were approved today there were violent protests.

In this you have the secret Babs. played by Constance Talmadge is a boarding school girl utilizing her time neither with trigonometry nor ath- letics, but on the subject of love. Chemically speaking, Babs arrives al certain formulas involving the love making science. with which she is so imbued that she will either fight or talk for it's principles. One Of her pet theories is the fact that when a per son is in love, upon holding the hand of the loved, his cheeks will take on a scarlet blush. his heart syncopate and his pulse accelerate. Well and good so far as the theory goes, but when Babs discovers-but what's the use of giving it away.
