OWNERS LIBERTY
BONDS FACING A
DISAPPOINTMENT
Bought On Urgent Appeals
From Government, Now
They Lose Heavily If-They
Are Forced to Sell.


Washington, Aug. 20.-The DEM
ocratic party has offered no remedy
for the loss to which it's malad-
ministration has subjected Liberty
bond owners. ...
On May 81, 1920, the latest date
for which detailed figures are OBJ
tainable, there were Liberty bonds
outstanding to the amount of about
$15,3S4, 100000. The treasury de-
partment has made some purchases
in the market since that date, but the
reduction in the total has been
comparatively negligible. With the
amounts of that date as the basis
and applying the present market
quotations we find that the sale
value of those bonds today is approx
imately $13,260,000,000. represent
ing an actual loss to the bonhOlders
of $2,115, 100000. 1t is true that if
the bond owners are so situated fl
nancially that they can retain the
bonds until maturity they will be
paid in full. but it has been the bit
ter experience of hundreds of thou
sands of patriotic citizens who have
been compelled to dispose of their
bonds that they were compelled TO
lose about $15 out of every $lOO
they had invested.
Appeal Made to People.
Never was such an appeal made
to the people of this country as
that resOrted to in the various bond
selling campaigns. Officials of the
treasury hesitated at nothing to
persuade the people to invest their
savings in bonds, and in that ap-
peal they had the enthusiastic sup
port of organizations and individu-
ais in every locality. The CHIEF
note of the campaigns was the assur-
ance to the people that they were
absolutely guaranteed against loss
if they put their money into bohds
stock and bond issuing industries
might fail banks might become IN
solvent but the stability of the
government was unquestloned ana
loss from investment in its securl-
ties was utterly impossible. 1t was
even asserted that Liberty bonds
were preferable to paper currency,
as they not only maintained SIM
lIar value DuI DUlc a. Hub''''i'A''
rate of interest in addition.
But the 100000 or more BOND
owners have faced a bitter disap-
pointment, and have learned to
their sorrow that the finances OF
even the United States government
may be so mismanaged that its OBJ
legations win suffer depreciation,
Quite naturally neither the demo-
cratic platform nor the demo-
cratic candidate for the presidency
has taken cognizance of the huge
loss which that party's ineffictency
and incompetenCy has forced upon
the people Senator Harding, on
the other hand, has declared that
this government should make its
Liberty and Victory bonds worth
all that its patriotic citizens paid in
purchasing them He intimates
that if he is elected president he
will do all in his power to bring
that about.

MINK, FUR STYLE:
Skin Now Takes Lead Over All
Others in Paris.
New Dyed Rabbit Pelt Closely Re.
sembIes Beaver--White Fox In
Great Demand.

For those who can afford 1t, mink is
the fur of the moment, declares q
Paris fashion authority. 1t is fright
fully expensive, when the color Is
good, but then sood mink wears really
we'll, almost as well as sable. For in
expensive wraps there is a new dyed
rabbit skin which gives lovely effects,
The fashionable color for this "fancy
fur" is nut brown, and 1t Is freely used
to trim nut-brown tailored suits and
wrap coats.
This fur is so carefully prepared
that 1t looks like beaver, even on close
inspection. Once again there is a run
on white fox, and millionaires are civ
ing their wives and daughters black
fox straight ties and fiat muffs-a
truly princely gift In present days.
The best furrier in Paris recently
asserted that 1t is practically impcssi-
BILE to secure really fine black fox
skins now, no matter what price may
be offered.
A genuine Louis XIV coat is very
smart end at the same time plain and
suitable Tor street wear in the morn
ing. The collar is small, so are the
revers. AS a rule the turned-back
cuffs take gauntlet form, and large
pockets are often added. These coats
mold the bust, waist ard hips; from
there down they flare considerably;
they are short--knee length, or even a
little shorter than that-and every.
thing depends upon the waistcOat
which accompanies the coat.
That may be highly decorative and
made Of rich brocade, thick satin, EN-
broidered canvas or Shantung. A bro
caded waistcoat Is best Of all In this
connection. The Parislennes are FOND
Of wearing white satin waistc0ats

look.
