All along we have been urging
our friends to compare our cloth
ing values with any other in the
city.
Yesterday the writer found him
self in a neighboring town with
an hour to kill and an appetite
for comparative observation.
One, two, three good clothing
stores were visited-styles, pat
terms and values noted.
On his return home today with
only a few minutes before this
paper goes to press, he is with
out fear of losing a sale, stretch
ing the above claim to cover two
cities-and urging any prospec-
tive suit buyer who desires to
travel-to compare this stores
merchandise with any other
within a radius of 100 miles.
Spring Suits $500 up.
Palm Beach Suits $500.

Tiding Over Unemployed

Rock Island, Moline and East Moline have
effected plans for providing temporary employ
ment to those who are without jobs and money
to maintain themselves winter IS approach
ing While the local communities have mol
been without suffering due to the industrial
slump following the close of the war, we here
have not been as badly eli as have other com
urunities throughout the country and the steps
that have been taken by the three communities
will insure at least enough assistance to those
without means of support to tide them over
until a brighter day comes.
1t is a pretty dreary prospect for the man
at the head of family who is able and anxious
to work and is not able to obtain employment
that will permit him to provide for himself and
his dependents without seeking charity. The
truth is that there are few men who wish to be
known as accepting assistance without giving
full value IN return. The idea of being objects
of charity is repulsive to the average American
man What he wants is work. and he isn't par
ticular or at least he should not be, what KIND
OF work it is so that it afford him an opportu-
nifty to earn enough wage to maintain himself
and those dependent upon him. If citizens
generally would make the Unemployment cause
their own there would be work for all There
is scarcely home IN the city WheTe IneTe
isn't a few days work for a man-cleaning up
tho yard OF tiding up. the premises generally.
IL each citizen would get in touch with the
agencies that are seeking to ease the unem-
ployment situation, and would agree to give a
man a few days work, it would not be long
until the situation was considerably eased.
Mayor Harry M. Schrvers commission to
devise ,means of providing employment and
otherwise caring for the unfortunate, the COM
ing winter has made good start by enlsting
the machinery of the Rock Island Chamber of
Commerce. conscientious survey of the sit
uatfon will be made with view Of bringing
the Job and men who need it together.
The Chamber OF Commerce embraces the
other agencies such as the Federation of Labor,
that willing to lend a helping hand and
with the cooperation Of the Welfare committee,
and the state and government employment bu-
reau. 1t is believed that solution OF the prob
lam. so far as this city is concerned, will in
measure at least, be reached and much want
and suffering alleyiated the coming winter
We all have responsibility in the present
situation and If we would all perform our part
we would early realize that there wasn't any
suffering in the community. Just look around
your home tomorrow and see if there isn't a
few odd jobs that you would be willing to pay
some good man to perform .

The Family Washing.

Women are invited by the laundry owners

hold good all the year round, but the laundry
men mean to specialize on open house during

The American housewife could do worse
than accept the invitation. In theory the pub
lie laundry is the ideal solution for one of the
most difficult problems of the household In
practice prices have usually been too high and
standards too low. in the opinion of thrifty
housekeepers to justify patronizing the laun-
dry regularly or extensively. Most laundry
work is excellent, but sometimes it is very bad.
Closer contact between the women who send
the family linen to be washed and the agencies
that do the work might remove Some ineQuaii-
ties and bring laundry standards up to home

Science and Size.

A monster wild duck is brought down by

This wild duck. experts say, got its huge size
from the cross breeding of wild duck with

ems, ultimately crossing with the 300-pound
African ostrich, and produce chickens of enor-
NOUS size. Food gains would be as great as
present size cows compared with calf size
cows. The horse was once the size of q poodle.
Nature grew it large. Science can do the same
with any kind of life. II has been done with
apples and many vegetables and fruits. Sug-
gestion of crossing chickens with ostriches
may seem biSaEre, but future generations will

have larger income in order to meet the en-
larged operating and maintenance costs
Here in the four cities there have been fare
increases. and now the company is seeking to
introduce the one-man car on the lines on
the Illinois side. The Argus has from the
first opposed the introduction of the one-man
car. hut the men engaged in supplying street
car service say that it must come as one OF
the ways of holding down operating costs, and
that the public might as well accept 1t and
thereby assuring continuance of service. IL
is maintained THAT unless the men who are
conducting these enterprises are permitted to
operate them in the economical ways that they
find necessary TO meet new conditions even
tually the public will suffer through curtailed
and inferior service where the franchises are
continued active and abandonment entirely in
places where the owners are not permitted 10
a fair return on their investments.
a The Tri-City Railway company has always
given good service in this locality. ALI the
public wants is that the company give the best
it is able to give based its financial returns.
The people have a degree of pride in the street
railway system here, and they do not want to
it take backward step.
There ought to be a means of intelligently
reaching intelligent appreciation of facts
between the railway company and the Illinois
public utilities commission, and the public will
be willing to abide by the agreement, assuming
that it is fair one. The people want the rail-
way company to collect a fare that will be
adequate to pay good wages to employees, main
tain equipment at proper standards and main
tain convenient schedules. They feel that the
present rate of fare is pretty high, but they
realize that conditions have been such as to
necessitate an increase. But they do feel that
the company ought to agree to gradual re-
turn to lower fares as business grows better.
As to the one-man car, the people do not favor
It, but if it must come they will have to get
accustomed to it.
