To settle Rug Tax Question.

A possibility that the new rnsrufac-
turer's tax on rugs and carpets will
have TO be collected In certain cases by
their retailers has aroused action on the
part OF the National Retail DRY Goods
Association. which Is seeking a. come 20
an understanding with certain manu-
facturers OF floor COVERINGS. Tho asso-
citation points out that n few manufac-
turers, who control a large Dart Of tho
CARPET trade. make contracts with re-
taiers selling their goods that the NOR
chandisc be sold only at stipulated
prices II follows that n the msnufac-
turers maintain their selling agreements
and pass on the rug taxes 10 the re-
taiIers the retailers must pay the taxes
or pass them on TO their customers. u
Is more or less assured from -he start
that the consumers will refuse TO assume
the taxes. Tho chief point of conten-
ton. according 10 the association, Is that
manufacturers have no right 10 sell thclr
goods with price agreements afiNed TO
contracts

AMONG THE MERCHANTS.
Return of Longer skirts.

Fashion apparently has determined
definitely that long skirts will feature
spring dresses, but skirt manufacturers
here report little interest in that style.
Late models from Paris show an increas-
ing tendency for less abbreviated lengths.
but whether or not the American women
will adopt longer skirts is still a prob
lem of American designers. In an at
tempt TO accommodate their desires to
decree Of fashion as put forth by Paris.
American manufacturers are preparing
slightly longer length skirts for spring
display, but they fall far short of beir =
as extreme as Partisan designs antici-
pate.

Limit Purchases to Needs.

Although the local raw silk market is
strong and advancing in sympathy with
higher quotations on the primary mar

chases to actual needs, says the weekly

Inc At the same time, however. cheap
lots on the market have disappeared and
most holders are refusing CONCESSIONS

80 cents a pound since last week. Busi-
ness has been considerably stimulated

Want stringent Bankruptcy Laws.

That enactment of more stringent laws
governing bankruptcies would be great
help TO business in recovering from its
depression is the view of a manufactur-
er. who claims that existing laws make il
altogether too easy for the average man
to slip through the bankruptcy court by
paying 10 or 10 cents on a dollar and
then res,arting In business on little or no
capital. The manufacturer places a
large share of the blame for recent fall
ures on the number of men who enter
BUSINESS with small capital and no busi-
ness ability. More stringent bankruptcy
laws would tend to prevent that class of
merchant from investing his money in
business adventures, by making him
realize that failure meant payment Of
creditors accounts in full.

In the last week Johnnie has been

was MIR. Sunman, and he could always
make everything right.
"Oh, Mr.. Sunman," called the Wind,

taking its part of the blame.

dropping from the leaves.

goes over. the hill and mountain top
early in the morning to awaken Mr.
Sunman and sometimes if you lister
) you can hear the sound of its heav,
: breathing as it runs.
