and so are continuing our efforts TO

every way possible" states President

Tube Company. There will be no

must also be reduced. In view Of the
fact that they were never raised in the

Necessities of the current situation
are causing all independents to make
drastic curtailments. Several such in.

salary advances in the same proportion
that mill workers wages were boosted

the company. SIN taking a 10 per cent
reduction they are losing relatively
more than plant operatives did at 90

per cent and to have made the reduc-
ton proportionate to that effective in

Ethics NosU Stressed

The buildings themselves have been
designed particularly Tor the garment
manufacturing industry, with modern
equipment in lighting, shipping facili-
ties, rest rooms and lunch rooms for
employees and a club for the tenants.
This club will include rest rooms, q
gymnasium and Turkish bath, restau-
rant and other appurtenanceS of any
social club. Membership will be re-
stricted to the tenants of the build
ings, although associated memberships
may be granted to buyers and retailers.
1t is through the club that the ethi-
cal conduct of the manufacturers in
the building will be controlled, and
this, those at the head of the project
believe, will prove to be one of the
most important movements designed
to place the industry on high stand
ard. Certain rules and regulations will
be embodied in the constitution and
bylaws of the club. Failure to live
up to them will mean expulsion The
men back Of the movement believe
that the combined subscription of the
members of the club to this code of
ethics will place stamp on their prod
ucts that will mean as much in the
garment trades as the sterling mark
now does on silverware.
The women's ready-made garment
industry as such in this country is
scdEcSiy haiI century old, yet In that
time it has had remarkable growth
and has placed its stamp upon almost
eyesy woman in the country, for few
are the women who do not include at
least one ready made costume in their
wardrobes. The apparel manufactur.
ers, while admitting that the history
of their industry includes long list of
sordid events, such as the old sweat
shop methods of production. the almost
endless chickering's ard disagreements
with labor, undue speculation in raw
materials, etc, feel that their sins
have been no blacker than those of
other industries and that their chief
accomplishment has been the undis-
puted fact that American women are,
taken as whole, the best dressed
women of any country, and that the
garment industry has made this pos
sible.
"The apparel trade probably is the
most highly competitive of any indus
try" said Jacob Rapaport, veteran
cloak manufactures and one of the
stockholders in the Garment Center
Capitol "due to the fact that it re-
Quires so little capital to enter it. The
industry is made up of those who

charged to January, February, March
and April, respectively, their share of
the years total appropriation. This is
important in studying the monthly
trend of railroad earnings.
Effect of Strike
Another factor is the effect which
the outlaw strike had on railroad earn
ings in April, May and June of 1920.
With so many variables it is impos-
sible to make any formula which can
safely be applied to any one roads
earnings and expenses and from which
definite and final conclusion can be
drawn. AS n matter of fact, while the
railroad officers perfunctorily say.
when they are talking with banker
or investor, that of course the proper
comparison of earnings and expenses
is between a month this year and the
corresponding month of last year, for
their own purposes they have been fol
lowing the trend of earnings from
month to month just as carefully, and
it has been just as significant and
helpful a comparison as that between
the current month and the correspond
ing months of the previous year.
The late President w. W. Finley, Of
the Southern Railway, used to say that
there was no reason why railroads
revenues and expenses should not be
divided fairly evenly over the twelve
months of the year, and that it was
the business of the traffic department.
to see that the volume of revenues did
not fiuctuate. The overhead expenses
and interest charges go on evenly from
month to month, an even distribution
of maintenance charges tends toward
economy, therefore it is squarely up to
the department which solicits business
to see that the hollow places are filled

NEAT TRICKS IN GARDENING
One Of Best Is Laying Board Over
Row Of Seeds to Start Them
and Hold Moisture.

There are a great many little tricks
that should be learned and practiced
by the gardener. 1t is not necessary
to be a wizard to practice these tricks
but just a good, common sense gar
dener One of the best of these is the
use Of a board laid over the row of
seeds for a few days after planting to
hold the moisture and make the seeds
start during dry weather. Another is
to flood the furrOw with water and al
low it to soak into the soil before
dropping the seeds, then cover with
dry earth Slightly packing or firm
ing the dry soil over the seeds will
help to bring the moisture to the sur
face and make the seeds grow. Gar
den tricks are easy to perform-try

TT HE most beautiful of all millinery
sings its swan song in August and
adds a regret for the passing of the
season that brings it in. Made for the
warmest days, the airy hats of mid
summer vanish like a morning mist,
as soon as the first hint of chill comes
In September breezes; they only -four
ish in the balmiest air and brightest
sunshine; their career is brief but
glorious.
Five of these dreams of summer, ex-
pressed in terms of millinery fabrics
and trimmings, are shown in the group
pictured here. The well-belOved, wide
brimmed, transparent hat at the top
is a perennial favorite, one of the
good things that every summer brings,
developed in accordance with the sea
sons styles. 1t is shown made of black
malines on a shape that is widened
at the sides ~ pointed curves in the
generous brim. The brim is bordered
with black piping braid, the crown is
soft puff of malines, and for trim
ming there is a wide bow, posed to-
ward the right side and spread across
the front. Always there are these peer
less, picturesque black hats for mid
summer. This year they have rivals
in hats of brown malines or lace.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there IS one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tOnIshng statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root Is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However. if you wish
first to test this great preparation send
