Peter replied that he thought it would

Silk Prices Slashed;
Other Goods Must Drop
Heavy Cuts Expected Soon in
Many Lines; Reduction
Due i'm Cottons
Special Dispatch to The Tribune


CHICAGO, May 5.--Concrete evidence
Of the long-looked decline in gen.
eral high prices in merchandise came
to-day when the Morris Woolf Silk
Company, said to be the largest silk
jobbing concern in the United States,
offered to the retail trade 100000
yards Of bolt silks at reductions in
price, ranging from so cents to more
than 50 a yard.
While other merchandisers in various
lines are advertising large cuts in
prices on standard goods, this was the
largest and most important announce
ment to the retail trade in more than
three years of pyramiding prices. It
means to the retailers that prices are
on the decline, that large cuts may be
expected in many lines, that cotton
and wooden goods especially must come
down from their dizzy perch to cor
respond with the silk drop. AS mat
ter of fact, according to Morris Woolf,
president of the company bearing his
name, with this selling, silks are rela-
lively lower in price than cotton goods
Another reduction will force an early
slashing Of cotton prices.
Silk prices are the last to 60 up and
the first to go down." said Mr.. Woolf.
For that reason they are pretty good
barometer OF other markets"

Not Much Fun
In New Farce
AT the Fulton
ooh, Henry!" Proves To
Be a Slow Moving Skit
ON the Complications of
the Prohibition Law
THE CAST
By Haywood Broun

"Oh. Henry!" new farce by Bde
Dudley, which was produced at the
Fulton Theater last night, is dull. The
various complications, which concern
prohibition, are introduced clumsily
and the play never attains the proper
pace of farce. Nor are the Jokes which
are introduced from time to time picked
up on the run. A playwright should
do no more than bend bit like a trick
rider and snatch up his witticism at
full gallop. 1t is not done in that man
ner in "Oh. Henry" All too often the
playwright seems to shout "Whoa!" to
his plot, dismount, dig up his joke and
climb back into the saddle. Few of
the wheezes were worth the effort.
Dallas Wexford, with his familiar
gift for apoplexy, bears most of the
burdens of the play and is humorous
occasionally.

In one part of the exhibit hall a
fve-story apartment house is in course
of construction at the rate of one
story a day. By the use Of concrete
moulding apparatus the time required
to erect a modern apartment building
is reduced to one-seventh, or one day 8
work equals a weeks in contrast with
the old way.

Old Mother Natures School Grows

Peter Rabbit. on his way to school,
was trying to make up his mind which
of his neighbors he would ask Old
Mother Nature about. He had learned
so many surprising things about his
own family that he shrewdly suspected
that many equally surprising things
were to be learned about his neighbors.
But there were so many neighbors he
couldn't decide which to ask about first.
But the matter was decided for him
in funny way. Hardly had he reached
the edge Of the Green Forest when he
was hailed by sharp voice. Hello,
Peter" said the sharp voice. "Where
are you going at this hour of the morn
ing? You ought to be heading for your
home in the dear Old Brarpatch."
Peter didn't even have to look to
know whose voice that was. 1t was the
voice OF. Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel:
Happy Jack was on the top Of an old
stump, eating a nut. Pm going to

dropped the nut. Going to school!
Ho, no, ho! Going to schools The
idea Of anybody going to school such a
fine morning as this! Where and to
whom and for what are you going to
school?" demanded Happy Jack.
"I'm going to school to Old Motner
Nature" replied Peter, a little Grossly,
"I've been going for several days, and
so has my cousin, Jumper the Hare.
We've learned lot about our own
family, and now we are going to learn
about the other people of the Green
Forest and the Green Meadows"
"Poohl" cried Happy Jack. pooh!
I know all about my own family and
I guess there isn't much about my
neighbors worth knowing that l don't
know"
as that so, Mr.. Know-it-all?" re-
torted Peter. ~ don't believe you even
know all your own cousins, so there!
| thought I knew all mine but found
/ didn't know half Of them"
"What are you fellows squabbling
about 2" asked another voice, a sharp,
scolding voice, and Chatterer the Red
Squirrel jumped from one tree to an
other Just above Peters head.
"Peter is trying to make me think
I don't know all there Is to know about
the Squirrel family" snapped Happy
Jack. Indignantly. "He is on his way
to school to Old Mother Nature and
has advised me to join him. Schools
isn't that the greatest joke everE -.
