coming very tired of spending its mon

both prices and material. The retailer
is as much a victim of circumstances
as it is.
"SiXty-five per cent of the people

they paid for real clothes. Now, these
clothes one sees advertised in windows

"a bill was introduced in congress
January 7 designed to prevent the de-
ceit and profiteering that result from
the uprevealed presence of substitutes
for virgin wool and in garments made
therefrom, known as the truth in

make it obligatory for the fabric manu-
facturer to stamp on the cloth the ex-
act percentage of virgin WOOL shoddy
or cotton that it may contain. The
fabric will be stamped: Makers Reg

not over - per cent shoddy.'
"In this way the retailer will know
what he is selling and the consumer
what he is buying. A man will not pay
$40 for a $40 suit. Clothes will find
their proper price levels and the pub
lie can abandon overalls."

elections of the Rural District Coun-
ellis throughout Ireland, as compiled
by Wright Mccormick, managing edi-
tor of the news service of the Friends

definitely recognize the authority of

the Irish Repubic.
That in the province of Ulster only
10 out of So Councils, or a little over
one-third of the Councils are against
