A fire in the Anton Horner barn
caused considerable excitement Mon

the fire tarted, but when discovered

feared that the flames would spread.
Good work by the townspeople con-

ding was Quilted, it was not
completely burned. There was con-
siderable amount of hay in the barn
that made the fire harder to handle.

LEONARD DUHEAUME HOME

| Commissioner Leonard duHeaume
is back from his trip across the water.
Leonard left last fall for visit with
his mother, in the island of Jersey
He spent most of his time in the old
home in Jersey, visiting for week or
two with friends in England.
Leonard has some interesting
stories to tell of his visit. He finds
the Irish question bearing an import
ant place in the minds of the English,
but was surprised to find the people
is in good circumstances following
the war as they are.
Large estates are being broken up,
and sold to tenants on the installment
plan. Taxes are high, and income
taxes have been worked over time to
pay war debts. .........
Laws are strictly enforced, and la
Dor agitation is promptly taken care
of by the authorities. England, he
says, will never be caught mapping in
military sense, children only ten
years old showing a considerable
knowledge of military drill and its
adjuncts.
Many homes are suffeing from the
loss of loved ones, but the home peo-
pie take it philosophically, and feel
proud that their families did their
share to keep out the Hun.
Leonard must have had plenty to
eat on the other side, as he is much
f1eshier than when he left.

had 2,70O boys before me for

sure you would not be before me

a municipal judge should make
parents everywhere think a bit.

Between now and Easter is to
be spent through all Protestan-

Spring Wooden Goods Slow
Mills Find Difficulty in Closing
Spring Season

Slow progress is being made by the
woolen and worsted mills in closing up
their spring selling season. Yesterday
brought forth downward price revsions
by one mill of about IA per cent in its
prices quoted earlier in the season. and
II per cent by another mill. These re
visions are common in the trade, but
fail to stimulate buying to any great
extent. Buyers are unsettled by the
constant price changes and many of the
mems clothing manufacturers have
taken only sample pieces from the
lines they expect to use and will de-
pend on repeat orders to the mill or on
jobbers for additional supplies if they
are needed.
Some. clothing makers are now OBJ
tanning mill prices from which they
figure the probable price of the gar
ment and then quote it to retailer.
If the latter shows Willingness to
buy at that price the order for the
cloth is placed. In most eases. in the
experience of one cloth salesman who
has seen this idea worked out. the re
taller fails to accept the manufacture
ing clothiers' offer, even though it is
figured at or close to actual cost

Many Concerns Plan to
Take Advantage of Low
Prices TO Compete With
Holders of Big Stocks

Branching into new lines of business
on to-day's lower price level for raw
materials and thus underselling es-
tablished competitors who have higher
priced materials in stock or in proce ess
of manufacture is making a strong ap-
peal to some concerns, and many im-
mature plans along this line are re-
ported.
The current of thought is running
particularly strong throughout the cot
ton goods trade, where specialized
fabrics have, for some time, been mcr-
chandised by comparatively few houses
Some of the new houses, chiefly con-
verting firms, are wondering if they
cannot "eut in' on the business of
houses that have specialized in one or
two particular fabrics, by the process
OF acquiring gray or unfinished materi-
ais at to-day's maAket level and under
selling the old-line firms.
The possibility Of bringing out en-
tirely new lines of goods to tempt the
buyer also is being investigated by
some converters.
The long period during which bust
ness has been Gull has brought samples
TO the eye of buyers repeatedly until
the latter already know the Zine" of
almost every important converter by
heart. Some converters now reason
that new patterns and new finishes will
brighten up their lines and give them
a more attractive appearance in the
sight of buyers.
Such plans, however, are depe ndent

Philadelphia Schoolboys
To Be Taught Tailoring
Fight on High Prices To Be Ex.
tended to the Mending of
Own Clothes
Special Dispatch to The Tribur.


PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 22-Hundreds
Of boys in some of the Philadelphia
schools are to De taught tailor;og. that
they may mend their own clothing and
thus aid in the fight to bring down the
high cost Of living.
On November 1 the experiment is to
be pat into effect at the Campbell
school in one of the poorer residential
districts, and more than 600 boys have
been enrolled. One hour win be taken
from other classes each day for in
struction in tailoring and the move
probably will be extended to other
schools as soon as it has 5ccorac effec-
tive, the idea being that boys can mend
and wear their old clothes instead Of
having their parents purchase new
ones.
An examination was held this morn
ing for persons to teach the tailoring
classes, William c. Ash, director of
practical arts and vocational educa-
ton, being in charge
