Such Is Fame In 1920.

OF Grant, Ice, Sherman, Sheridan, NC
Clellan, jackson, Meade, Hooker, Custer
and probably Longstreet and Beaure-
gard, leaders in a war fought nearly 60
years ago. TO the public of 1867 these
names were certainly as vivid as they
are today, yet how many readers can
name a single American general who
commanded any one OF the .huge sep
arate armies into which our troops in
France were divided?
Who led the American forces at st.

The name Of Christopher Columbus is
q part Of our Unborn consciousness, yet
how many readers can give the name of
the first man to cross the ocean in an
airplane? Reid? Are you sure? Or
was it Rea6? Now, then, his first
name. If ever a group of young men
was entitled to feel that it was making
history, 1t was that little group of Ar

About Retail Price Reductions.

iASL1 oLSA4S - ~
The retail selling at reductions. IN
cities all over the country, is enabling a
vast amount of realization on shell
goods, out instead of inspiring the pub
lie with the necessity of thrift or caus-
ing a halt in buying in order to take
advantage, later on, of still lower prices
the only apparent effect has been 10
create a great rush to buy the reduced
goods, with plenty of money in evil
dence to do it with. The public does
not seem to be affected by the fact
that in a large area of goods offered,
many, if not most of them, were marked
~ 20 per cent, 80 per cent. or more
around the first of January, by many
of the dealers, and that the latter are
gathering in a harvest of profits. The
manufacturers have not yet widely
made any reduction in wholesale prices,
but newspaper reports would indicate
hat they are considering it.
II the retailers only are thus forced,
by the popular protest against high
costs. into lowering their prices. ther re-
duction will simply be temporary. and
as retail stocks of standard goods are
usually the smallest, these will be ex-
hausted first, which will lead dealers to
stock up all around, creating again a
large demand for standard goods. All
this will tend to keep them anufactur-
ers from reducing prices in the coming
season, and little good wild result from
this selling movement, except to put a
large amount of cash in retailers hands.
Inasfar as this cash from the pockets Of
the people has not beer drawn from
bank deposits, such mounts will help
to relieve the credit strain.
At any rate, the movement is favor
able, Indicating O recognition on the
part of the retailers, of the public re-
vulsion against excessive prices. Such
movements are contagious and may
spread in many directions. The effect
has been. to some extent, to weaken the
wholesale markets, and the strain on
credit has creased some desire to realize
there. Dun's Review reports a reac-
tionary feeling, quite well defined in the
wholesale commodity markets this week

WAGES After the War,

From the Manchester (Eng.) Guardian.
All the big wage settlements since
the war, affecting miners, railwaymen,
engineers and lockers, have had one
thing in They nave all been
based upon assumed necessity for d
higher standard of living among the
workers. But there has been no agree
ment upon the principles which should
determine this new standard, and only
in the last two instances has any at
tempt been made to formulate the prin-
ciples. The decision of the industrial
court upon the application of the engi-
neers appears to make the workers in
creaaed share depend mainly upon the
state of the market. But in all cases
the workers have strongly urged that
the cost Of living should NO longer be
taken az the sole criterion. In the cotton
trade the operatives claim is an I'M
avowed but perfectly clear demand to
share in the profits of the industry, but
&c settlement with them has yet been
reached. The engineering employers,
however, have already entered a for
nal protest against the decision Of the
court which amounts virtually, In their

DIVORCE REFORM
IS NOT I'M SIGHT
English Law Still Allows Hus-
band Unusual Leeway In the
Matter of His Conduct.
Rx K. Waiter Or. N. So

By *. Waiter Ok N. ISL
London,7Divorce reform, regarded by
many as one of the most urgent prob
lem. England has to face, Is not likely
to move very rapidly, to judge by the
first discussion Of thte proposals en-
bodied in a house of lords bill which
took place this week in the house of
commons. Lady Aston the only woman
member Of parliament. was among those
who spoke against the measure.
AS the British law stands at present,
a. man can obtain q divorce from his
wife for adultery alone, but a woman
must prove not only adultery against
her husband but $3.50 physical cruelty
or desertion. Public sentiment today Is
unanimously against the continuance Of
this inequality TIVE husband and
wife which permits a mar to be guilty
of unlimited unfaithfellness yet shields
him from any action If he abstains
from actual cruelty and does not have
the kindness to desert his wife. Again,
a husband may go off to the ends Of
the earth, leaving his aNsfe and child
rem to starve, and still remain immune
from divorce. The law OF Scotland Is
different in this respect desertion for
four years being recognized AS ground
for divorce.
is also emphasized under the existing
law. In 1912 the cost of a divorce was
estimated at q minimum OF $500. An
attempt was made to remove HI dis
qualification of the poor during the war
by setting up in connection with the
High Court. a poor persons depart
,ment,'' where persons below a certain
level Of income can obtain free legal
services. But SIS railroad fares to Lon
don still hav to be paid, together with
all the o~ut-of-pecket expenses of law
yer and witnesses, the relief was not
entirely effective. The cost of a divorce
through his department still comes to
between $3.50 and $500. which is pro-
hibitive for a large number Of people.
