Matches in China.

One Of the things that practically
everybody in China can afford TO buy
Is match and as the population is
estimated at 40O0OO,O0O. the number
Of matches consumed reaches a great
volume. Chinese manufacturers have
been making matches for thirty years,
but they have never made enough for
their own. use so that the deficiency
has been made up by japanese and
Swedish manufacturers principally.

True Americanism

In most of the metropolitan cities

sumo that few persons will trouble
themselves about reading all this

that comes of it is that which goes in
to the pockets of the printers and the
organizers.
True Americanism is one Of the

space of a single paragraph Wash.

foreign alliances. Jefferson put it in.
to the Declaration Of Independence
with the ringing announcement that
government rests upon the consent Of

coin put the finishing touches to the
American idea, when he said that God
lneyer made one people good enough to
govern another people.
There you have the alpha and
omega, the foundation and the key.

Latest but probably not last, OF
newspapers TO turn loose in its office
an amateur editofwth full authority
to do what he pleases for a single day
is the Denver Post. The Rev. w H..
Wray Boyle of that ty, ii seems, has
been saying with emphasis and high
audibility that the Post was printing
too many articles in one way or an
other offensive to readers of delicate
sensibil.t.es, and, wearying Of this
criticism, its professional guides told
him to eliminate from one issue every
thing on the proofs that displeased
him.
Ava Ing himself of this kind per
mission, the reverend gentleman took
the proofs. Killed the divorce cases
now in process of trial, removed all
references to boxing from the space
devoted to sports. diminished in size
the headlines on the first page. and
put there some remarks Of his own on
the eternal propr cites of journalism
as he sees them.
All this, of course, was very far

Why Called Cardinal Virtues"
The chief virtues Of the ancients as
far back as Socrates were justice, pru-
dence, temperance and fortitude.
They We're called cardinal virtues
because all other human virtues de.
pended upon their eXlstence-turned
or hinged on them. The word carGi.
nal, from the Latin "cardo," means a
hinge.
Such an enumeration, however. is
by no means exhaustive, Ii has often
been pointed out that the list omlts
entirely the fundamental virtue Of
bencyolence, Conscientiousncss cour-
age, modesty, sympathy and reverence
are other cardinal virtues but not CON
tanned in the original roster. --Cleye-

Cold weather Increases Sales.

The first real indication OF winter ap-
parent last Sunday has caused feeling
of hope among many retailers. Sales of
heavy overcoatings and suits the last
two days have received a decided I'm
petus. while dealers selling Christmas
goods and novelties report similar
tendency in their line. Prices for over
coats now on display range all the way
from s35 TO $65, with the $40 and $50
coats proving the most popular. Accord
ing TO statements of buyers there Is
li.tle likelihood that the market will be
oversupplied it present weather condi-
tions continue. Goods are said 70 be
moving rapidly. and where merchan ndise
coming In from wholesalers In this coun-
try or abroad Is received it is passed
along to the public at an attractive
price without delay.

Ginsham season Open. soon.

Sales of gingham are now at the mid
season stage, but dealers are stocking
up with large numbers of new designs
and styles for the orening of the spring
season about January /, when the rush
of buyers for summer dresses is ex-
pected TO develop. The supply of raw
gingham in the market is limited at the
moment, which is helping prices to main
tain a normal basis. Any sudden rush
of buyers, eowever. is looked to create
some increase in price. Dealers are
planning to put. chlldren's dresses of this
material on the market at the 81 level.
Both women's and children's dresses are
expected TO be in demand at the begin
ming OF the year.

OiIcloths Supersede Linens.

The general trend of economy sp-
parent on the part OF the public has
been felt by manufacturers OF oil cloths
in increased purchasing. A prominent
manufacturer reports record sales OF
this kind of merchandise. to be used
for tables instead Of linen, with the
demand apparently Increasing. The inn
provement in texture of these cloths
combined with the finer patterns now
evident is said to have added to the
increased use OF oil cloths for all kinds
OF household purpose oil cloth wind ow
shades and wall coverings are also said
to be coming into Increasing use.
