GROWING SANITY IN USE OF
RAILROAD TRACKS.

The railroads are killing fewer tres
psssers nowadays than they did in the
old DAYS. The reason Is not to he
found in the greater agility of the
people who use the railroad tracks for
highways but because some Of the PEG
pie are becoming more sane in their
consideration Of the dangers Of walk
ing on the tracks. The public Is be
ing educated to the fact that the rail
road tracks were constructed for the
use Of railroad trains and not for foot
travellers. albeit there are some who
persist in placing themselves in grave
hanger Last year 2,553 trespassers
we're killed and 2.65s were injured o,Ii

The largely increased Republican
vote in Florida and other southern
states in the national election is no
doubt as much the result of invasion
of that region by northerners, who
have become permanent residents, az
e is of the conversion of southern
Democrats to Republican principles.
The growing Republican strength in
Daytona, st. Petersburg and Orlando
in Florida clearly reflects the inva-
sion by northerners. Thus while they
are helping to increase the prosperity
of the southern states they are also
contributing 10 the breaking of the Po-
litical "solid SOUTH

In the light of the election result,
the message of commiseration which
Vice President Marshall sent to GOV.
Coolidge was prophetic of the outcome.
Marshall was picking the winner when
he sent the message. However, it is
not to be supposed that Coolidge is
due to be commiserated. In addition
to the chance for him to give service in
high position as vice president, there
is the ever-present possibility that he
NAV be called to some higher position.

The few states which voted for Cox
for president feel almost as much alone
as did Vermont and Utah when they

though their total makes a more re-

If those who are clamoring for the
resignation OF President Wilson should
base their claim on the i'll health Of the
president they might be considered rea-
sonable. That he should resign be-
cause of the outcome of the election is
a silly contention, although his prin-
ciples were rather thoroughly repudi-
ated.

Several manufacturers Of silk Goods
yesterday declared that raw silks will
have to drop below sl2 a pound be-
1ore they can go ahead with production
OF fall merchandise. Most Of the broad
siiks now on the market or coming
through the mills on order. it is said
are made of raw stock that did not
cost over that price, and yet buyers.
it IS declared, have shown a disposi-
tlon to pass up these goods. One lsrre
producer, in discussing the situation
yesterday. said:
Raw silk Of average grade TODAY is
held at sl4 pound. If we cannot sell
goods based on SO silk now, it is plain
'har we cannot sell goods based on s14
s'lk. we nave simply run up against
dead end"
In spite of a minimum amount of
trading in the raw silk market. prices
are beng we'll maintained around s14
a pound. Some manufacturers assert
that holders of raw silks have made
such large profits in the past that thew
are financially able TO carry their
product indefinitely. With the trade
deshng that even sl2 is high figure,
and the demand for silk goods running

Summer Season in Millinery
To Open Up May 8

Retail millinery stores throughout
the country will be asked to inau-
gurate a summer season during the
week beginning May g. At special
meeting of the Millinery Chamber Of
Commerce yesterday this date was de-
cided upon by manufacturers, whole
salers and retailers. In wholesale cir
cles the summer season will be insti-
tuted on April 10.
The setting Of definite dates for sea-
son inaugurals is the result of the
four seasons movement, which has
gained considerable strength in the
millinery trade recently.
The summer season was evolved last
year. Its object was to foster the
wearing of distinctly summer milli-
merry during the heated months and to
withhold the showing of velvet and
heavier fabric hats until more sea-
sonable date.
Arrangements are being made by the
trade to stimulate competition among
retailers in window displays and ad-
vertising when the summer season
opens up. A portion of fund now
being raised will be appropriated for
prizes. National adve .-tising will be
supplemented by retailer advertising
with the aid of the national body.

To Make Test of
Standardized Silk Fabrics

First steps in this country toward
producing standardized fabrics for
women's wear were taken yesterday,
when the Stehli Silks Corporation
signed contract to produce three
grades of taffeta and three grades of
messaline which will be used in the
manufacture of petticoats. These
garments will be sold to consumers
who pledge themselves to keep an ac
curate record of the wearing qualities
of the silk and return the petticoats
when worn out, for final tests
The silk company agreed to make
the fabrics for the Central Committee
on Textile Standardization of the
Home Economics Society, which, ac-
cording to Mrs. Ellen MCGOWAN, chair
man of the committee, intends to de-
velop standardized fabrics in several
branches of the textile industry. About
1000 yards of the material will be
made as first test to be turned over
to petticoat manufacturers about May
Is. Approximately 1000 petticoats
will be made and sold by the commit
tee through mail orders. Mrs. Nc
Gowan expects the petticoats to- give
serviceable wear for year or a year
and half.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Order
Luggage for Summer Trade

Retailers are now in the market for
leather suitcases and travelling bags
for the summer trade, which they ex-
pect will be greatly in excess Of last
year. At the present time they are
not doing much, but during the last
year they have sold moro bags than in
any previous year, despite the fact
that prices on the average have been
about 200 per cent higher than in 1914.
1t Is impossible, they say, to buy a
good leather bag now much under $40,
az even so, the consumer, as a rule,
is locking: for better grade article.
Sales of cheap imitation leather bags
have also increased. but there is a
marked reduction in the call for the
moderate priced article.
Trunks have increased close to 200
per cent in price during the last few
years, but there has been no apparent
elimination in the sales. Prices have
not advanced greatly during the last
few months, dealers say, but the labor
situation is so unsettled that no proph-
ecies can be made on the future trend

,ne ,nneiays IN shipments Of goods by
mills, 0ccasioned by the bad weather
and railroad tie-ups. have sent sevaral sI
converters and jobbers into the prim-
ary markets in search Of fabrics for
immediate use. This is the explanation
that these merchants offer for the Arm
aha M..t rising tone in the primary markets.
Most Of the orders they have placed
within the last week have been for
nliing-in purposes. they say, and are
not based on an expected future rise
IN the market.
Because of thet we'll sold condition
or their unwillingness to take orders
at present, the larger mills arc holding

with the exception of the extreme low
ends. According to brokers' the lowest
prlce OF standard 64--60 gray print
cloths, is "a cents for spot goods
ranging down to 211s for goods to be
delivered in August. Afew large orders

IN the gray goods market recently, but
these have not been taken by the trade

JEWELRY--lmporter Receives
Large Lot of Diamonds

One of the largest importers Of pre-
cious stones yesterday received con-
siignment Of rough diamonds valued at
about S475,OO0, exclusive of duty
charges. This is one Of the largest
shipments received here in some time,
great influence on the present situa-
ton in the diamond-cutting business.
Cutters OF precious stones fnd it Diff
ficult to obtain enough material to work
on and several Of the smaller concerns
arc said to be closed, or working only
part time. This condition is reflected
in the diamonds setting branch of the
lewelry industry. Diamond ring manu-
tactcrers have more orders on hand
age of stones.
The scarcity of diamonds is not a
new condition, but it is holding greater
interest in the general jewelry in
dustry every day. Since The latter
part of 1919, when complete control of
the worlds supply of the precious gems
passed into the hands Of the British
syndicate, the scarcity of diamonds has
been. most acute and local importers
attribute the shortage to the lack of
skilled workmen in the De Beers South
African mines.
All branches of the jewelry trade are
working to capacity. Concerns spe-
cializing in wedding rings are re-
celving large orders from retailers in
anticipation of the customary June de-
mand for this line. One manufacturer
stated yesterday that the sale of the
carved ring has by no means ap-
proached that of the staple plain band.
He said that his company sells about
10000 rings week, and that only 200
or 800 are of the carved variety. The
demand for the latter comes chiefly
from that class of trade desiring some
thing fancy made up in platinum
