an article on recent sales of woolen goods by manufacturers made special mention of the fact that it was only the fine, high grade, high-cost cloths which were in any strong demand. Goods ranging in price from $6 to $10l yard were disposed of without trou- ble.s some running as high as s14.40 a yard going off like hot cakes, while cloth selling at lower prices was al- most impossible to get rid of.
 Says one keen writer commenting on this state of affairs:
 Manufacturers of clothing are not | buying the higher priced goods be- cause they prefer to deal in that class; they are proceeding on the basis of their experience in the past couple of years; they have found the public demanding something better, or higher priced; they are yielding to | the lure of easy money. In a year or two the public has become inured to
 the shock of price tags and compia-
 gently blanks down $65 to $20O for mems suits or women's suits of clothing inferior in quality to what could be had before the war for half or less.
 'sWith no indication of a reaction to
 sanity or normality on the part of the public, why should the cloth ma1iu-
 facturer bother to turn out moderate | priced goods? Note how the window offerings tagged under the $50 price
 finger uncoveted, while buyers dash 1 in and grab the ones that range up-
 ward from that bagatelle."
 If the buying public ie thus eager
 to throw money to the cloth rnanu-
 lecturers, why shouldn't the clothing | dealers also get their rake-off? Ac-
 cording to Frank N. Mccain, fair price commissioner in Pennsylvania,
 the retailers in that state are taking
 their opportunity with both hands and
 all four feet. At a recent meeting of
 the Philadelphia Chamber of Com
 merce, MT. Mccain told that body of
 the prices and profits at which wear
 ing apparel was being sold in ten cit
 ies of that state. Mems overcoats
 are selling at prices 9f to 136 per cent
 higher than cost to the retail dealer
 with ready made clothing 90 to TOT
 per cent. higher, women's hosiery 100
 to 15O per cent, higher, and high grade shoes 100 to 114 per cent high er." MT. Mccain didn't hesitate to
 tell the chamber of commerce that he could fairly say train-robbing is fulIy - as respectable. though not so remun And so it goes. These things whict ! A"t quOtSN sOI ESAOFTed5 to are JuS

How to Remove Easily
 Here's chance. Miss Freckle-face, to try remedy for freckles with the guarantee of a reliable concern that it will not cost you a penny unless it removes the freckles; while if it does give you clear complexion the ex- pense is trif1ing.
 Simply get an ounce of Othine- double strength-from any druggist and a few applications should show you how easy it is to rid yourself of the homely freckles and get beauti- fuf complexion. Rarely is more than one ounce needed for the worst case.
 Be sure to ask the druggist for the double strength Othine as this strength is sold under guarantee of money back If it fails to remove freckles.

SKID CHAINS CUT
STREET SURF ACES
Snow Caused Ruts, Which
Heavy Trucks Followed,
Causing Damage.

Skid chains used on heavy auto
trucks during the recent period Of
bad weather hacked the asphalt sur
face on a number of thoroughfares.
according to officials of the engineer
department..
During the several days that the
snow was SO deep all vehicles fol-
every street. because the traffic go
ing before had made a sort of track.
To divert from this beaten track
meant skfddfng or getting jammed in
the snow.
The effect Of all heavy trucks with
big chains following these narrow
lines was disastrous to the asphalt on
streets where the surface was not
In the best Of condition. Ruts al
ready existing were made worse.
Norris Hacker, superintendent Of

the snow that has piled up on DOWN
town streets. These piles resulted
from opening the cutters and clear
ing paths at street intersections.
Mr.. Hacker said his men yesterday
removed the snow at the intersec-
tions on G street from 7th to 18th
street, and are working today on F
street.
1t is said the piles of snow still re-
naming on the downtown section
believed the hre department could
wash them away.
The superintendent has been able
to build up the ash collection force
in the last few days, 30 that today
there are eiGhty-one teams on this

Dr.. Young, in Attendance, De-
Scribes AiIment as Cere-
braI Trouble.

BALTIMORE. Nd. February IL (by
more Sun publishes a copyrighted dis
patch from Washington. In which
was given an interview With DR..
Hugh H. Young Of Johns Hopkins
Hospital at Baltimore on the condi-
tion Of President Wilson. DR.. Young
has been one of the physicians in at
tendance upon the President DIT.
Young, In part, said:
From the very beginning the
medical men associated with the case
have never had anything to conceal.
When l first saw the President. in
October, a crisis had arisen OF such
gravity. owing to the development Of
prostatic obstruction. that an emer-
gency operation to relieve this situa-
tion was contemplated. but by for
tuitious and wholly unexpected
change in the Presidents condition
the obstruction began to disappear.
Improvement Steady.
The Improvement in this respect.
which has been steady. il now COM
plete. The President was organically
sound when 1 saw him first. and l
found him not only organically sound
when 1 visited him last week. but
further all the organs were func-
tioning in perfectly normal. healthy
manner.
The Presidents general condition.
end specifically the slight impair
meat of his -left arm and leg. have
improved mofe slowly, 1t is true, but
surely, steadily. There. have been no
setbacks. no backward steps. and
rumOrs to this effect are rubbish.
"As you know, in October last We
diagnosed the Presidents illness as
cerebral lSSthrombosis, which affected
his left arm and Leg but at no time
was his brain power or the extreme
vigor and 1ucidty Of his mental
processes in the slightest degree
abated. This condition has from the
very first shown q steady. unwaver-
ing tendency toward resolution and
utility Of the left arm and leg. great
ly impaired at frSt. has closely fol-
lowed on this improvement.
The President walks sturdfiy now,
without assistance and without ia
tigue. And he uses the still slightly
impaired arm more and more every
day.
Mental viGor "ProdiGi0us.~
'As to his mental viEor. 1t is Sim
ply prodigious. Indeed. think In
many ways the President is in better
shape than before the illness came
you can say that the President Is
able-minded and able-bodied and
that he is giving splendid attention
to affairs Of state, and that We have
every assurance that he will become
progressively more active in these
matters with the advent of spring
and sunshine. which cannot now be
long delayed"
