Your Choice of Vases.

There is almost always in every Of
nee some young woman with a fond
ness for flowers on whose desk at this
time OF year YOU will find some CAV
blossoms or other brought by an as
SocIate who dwells in the country
1ou like to see the flowers, and YOU
ike her for cherishing the flowers
mat have been brought her. but why
on why does she put them in an
empty milk bottle? You knoW-she
probably knows. too-that Il vase OF
good lines can be bought for 10 or Is
cents.
OF course, there is nothing innately
ugly about a clean milk bottle The
INES or 1t may be as good from
purely esthetic sense ah the lines of
the vase you buy. but there is always
the undercurrent of feeling that it is
a milk bottle. Its associations are all
homely and humdrum. 1t is like a
frult 1ar-convenient and usually
available: but a poor selection as a
flower holder. nevertheless. An Italian
wine bottle may be as humdrum and
prosaic TO the Italian, but its associa-
tions are different for US. Therefore
1t is picturesque and somehow pleas
ant Likewise are ginger-jars which
enjoyed the. same sort of vogue some
years ago: Mayhap in years to come
when milkmen have invented some
entirely different mode OF, 4eliyering g
milk. these old-time g4as$SSsr saine RS

There are many vases, expensive
vases as well as eheaprsKasss that
are almost as offensive ~as--yf1e milk
bottle. not through homel ocia-
ttons. but because they are- actually
ugly. Their colors are not .harmoni-
Gus. their lines are bad. they are over
ornate or too complicated in de-
sign.
Clear glass vases are usually to be
preferred to cut glass vases, because
they show the leaves and stems In
the water. The woman who wants at
tractive flower containers at small
cost would do well to buy few simple
baskets and then fit these with plain
tumbIers or glass jars in which to
place the flowers. The effect of
basket and flowers is usually pleasing,
especially on the Yeranda or in the
SIMPLE surroundings of most summer
homes.

literally burnt up and purified by the
fresh air in the lungs, so that the
blood passes on again through the
body pure and healthy and strong.
This is simplfied and anything but
technical explanation of the actual
function of pure air. If you go with
out it your blood becomes impover-
ished.
Learn then to breathe deeply while
you are outdoors. If you work in an
office and ride to work get off the car
a few blocks from your destination,
and while you walk breathe deeply
and hold the air in the lungs for
few seconds before breathing it out.
This is to expand your lung capacity
and incidentally, to give you we'll
shaped chest. shoulders and bust. If
you take these breathing exercises
you will be in much better shape to
do your work.

Breathing Exercises.

1t may seem odd to ask 'Do you
breathe enough air." but the truth is
that great many people go about all
their lives without drawing i'll one
deep lung filling breath of pure. fresh
air. This is unfortunately most true
in the case of Office workers because
eight or more hours of every day are
spent indoors, possibly with closed
windows and other people in a room
to exhaust the vitality of the air.
Besides this, Office workers sit with
the back bent and the chest COM
pressed so that it would be impos-
Sible TO draw in really vitalizing
breath even if the air were good.
The result of this is that the air en-
tering the lungs does not contain
enough oxygen to purify the blood
with which il comes in contact. All
the blood in the body passes through
the lungs in the course of its circu-
lation. While going through the body
it has collected the poisons which
we are always forming. These are

ALI u. S. Sub.Treasuries
Closed, Houston Reports
Transfer of Functions Expected
to Result in Benefit to the
Banks and Public

FROM me ITlDtLne s w washington 6NedA
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13-Secretary
of the Treasury Houston announced to-
day that all sub-Treasuries Of the
United States have now been dlscon-
tinued in accordance with the authori
cation of Congress, May 20, 1920. The
sub-Treasury at New York, the third to
be closed, ceased TO function December
6 last. The last Of the nine sub
Treasures TO close was in Cincinnati
last Thursday.
AS provided by Congress, the duties
and functions performed by the sub
Treasures have been transferred to the
Treasurer of the United States, the
mints and assay Offices and to Federal
Reserve banks and branches.
''It is believed that the change will
result in substantial benefit to the
banks and the general public and in
better distribution of coin and cur
rency throughout the country" says
statement issued by Secretary
Houston.
Moreover. material economy has
been effected. not only by the reduc-
tion in operating expenses effected by
abolishing the subtreasury establish
ments, but also by the elimination of
the necessity of keeping with the as
sistant treasurers The working supplies
OF coin and currency required TO en-
able them to perform their functions,
amounting in the aggregate to about
$4,000 600"

Leather

The large demand for suede. gray
kid and fancy leather featured the
leather market Many shoe retailers
who formerly were loath to order are
now finding it difficult to place orders
for women's fancy shoes to be delivered
in their stores before the first of May.
Some large novelty shoe manufacturers
are said TO be refusing new orders for
delivery before that date. In the more
staple line of shoes the demand is not
so large, although business is showing
gradual improvement.
A large delegation Of tanners has
gone to Washington to urge that no
duty be imposed on the importation of
hides. This has been occasioned TO
enable the American tanning industry
to compete with Europeans. The dele
cation also urges that all leather now
on the free list be made dutiable and
rates on the three classes of leather
now taxed be increased. Recommen-
dations to increase the duties on
chamois skins and glove leather from
the present rate Of Is and 10 per cent
New-York tribune., 1921-02-14

In this situation the conservative
and long seeing business man sees
little to fear. He believes that the
process OF -eadjustment is nearing
completion, end that the majority of
factors influencing present and future
trading are decidedly optimistic. State
ments Of leading business men, bank
ers and economists reflect this general
attitude and it has done much to re-
store the confidence of the general
public and those in trade.
Discussion of the many problems of
the retail at the convention of the
National Retail Dry Goods Association
in this city last week, did much to
position at present. Despite assertions
to the contrary, one coming from the
Secretary Of Commerce on the day the
convention closed, the retailers main
tain that they are rejecting present
wholesale prices in their retail sales.
The need of explaining this TO the
general public was realized at the con-
yention, which went on record as
recommending to individual retailers
the Inauguration Of campaign de-
signed to give customers broader
view of the functions and services
rendered by their retail shops.
Tax Reform Urged
The retailers also took strong
position in urging tax reform and have
drafted taxation platform to be pre-
sented to Congress.
In connection with taxation the tariff
and internal revenue laws are receiv-
ing more attention from tradesmen in
general than has been the case in past
years. The demand among business men
for a revision Of the internal revenue
law is extremely strong. The repeal
OF the excess profits, super taxes and
luxury taxes is being urged with
gross sales, or turnover, tax feel that
they are gaining ground, but strenuous
opposition to this proposed form OF
taxation is appearing. Pending re-
vision of our taxation system, busi-
ness men naturally are chary of enter
| ing upon plans to be consummated
months hence. This, together with the
unsettled condition Of foreign trade at
present are strong factors toward con-
servatism in wholesale buying, it is
felt.
The problem Of reducing labor costs,
both in the production and distribution
Of commodities, is pressing one and
is receiving the full attention of busi-
ness men. Plans for increasing the
efficiency Of individual workers appear
to be receiving greater attention than
| the somewhat easier method of forcing
workers to accept lower wages, al
| though some reductions continue to be
made. In the main, however, business
men are against deep wage cuts.

Silks

The International Silk Show At the
Grand Central Palace engaged the at
tention Of the silk trade last week, with
the result that business was neglected
to some extent The purpose OF the
silk show, to place silks in more IA
vorable light in the eyes of the ulti~
mate consumer. appears to have been
fulfilled. On Thursday night an at
tendance Of more than $4,000 was reg
istered at the show. This is said to
exceed the figures for any single day
at any industrial exposition previously
held in the Palase. Consumers com
nent on the show was extremely favor
able.
Raw silk IVES quiet, with a slight
softening of prices. Strength to the
general situation in the raw fiber, how
ever, was given by reports of reduc-
tion Of stocks on hand in this country
and also In primary markets. Manu-
facturers are not convinced that the
Imperial Syndicate in Japan will be able
to continue its operations in holding
prices to the pegged level, and more
talk of lover prices within q few
months is heard throughout the mar
ket. Opposition to this view is being
expressed in some quarters, though
based principally on the view that raw
silk is now selling below the actual
cost of production.

GOttOrls

Raw cotton and cotton goods passed
comparatively quiet week and both
lost some Of their price frmness as
the week closed. Some of the New
England mills we're reported to have
shifted their position of holding out
for firm prices on grey or unfinished
cotton goods and TO have quoted
prices more in line with those ruling
in the second hand market in New
York.
In finished goods, although trading
lacked the snap that gave great en-
couragement last month, there were
received many small orders and some
recorders from jobbers, retailers and
garment manufacturers who had
bought in January. Price advances
have failed to influence merchants TO
cover their future requirements for
fear Of higher prices or shortage of
goods.

Woolel,s

Improvement in the wooden and
worsted trade continued spotty. The
demand for tricotinos and to q less
degree for other twilled dress gods and
few Of the speciality fabrics used in
the women's garment industry was
strong. Some producers of mems wear
fabrics arc turning their looms to the
production Of these cloths to share in
the business that is now coming into
the market. On the vvner hand, the
future for these fabrics is not un-
clouded and fears of an overproduction
are being voiced.
The mems wear trade is marking
time, pending a general opening of new
goods for the coming fall season. A
few lines of fancy back overcoatings
already have been shown and some
business on them booked by selling
agents. The fall market, however. is
not yet stabilized and little in this
direction is expected until the Ameri-
can Woolen Company sets the pace.
Manufacturers of both woolens and
worsteds are making strenuous efforts

legislation to protect the American
