YOUR CLOTHES.

From Investigations in the industry involving all
ellis waste committee has now turned its attention
to the mems clothing industry. At some time in
the future the complete report of its findings is
to be made public, but for the present the few
facts given out illuminating.
For those Of us who have wondered at the
son for mems swiftly changing styles, at the still
fancy price for mems clothes and at other
fathomable mysteries in connection with this in
dustry 1t will be startling to learn OF the tremend-
GUS waste with which this industry is conducted
From seasonal shut-downs, which are the principal
Of waste, there is lost in the mems clothing
industry every day about $4,000. According to
the experts every penny of this could be saved.
THE most fundamental cause of waste" these
engineers tell u.s. "is the fear-nspred order entic-
ing sales policy The trend in recent years, due to
efforts Of the manufacturers to stimulate additional
demand and their fear of losing ground to their
competitors has been toward increasing num-
Der Of styles of young mems suits and OF varieties
of CLOTH" Something Of the appalling extent to
which this practice has is to be gathered from
the fact that one manufacturer alone offers his
purchasers 27S,000 possible combinations of model
and material
Presumably we may do with this report as we
please-take it or leave 1t. We may decide that u
is better to have 27S,00O combinations OF models
and material to choose from than only 5000 or
10000. We may want this ridicuousy wide choice
even at waste of $3.50 900 a day. The consumer
ought to have what he wants because he is the one
who pays for it,

GROUP RESPONSIBILITY.

1t would be idle and untrue to charge our bust
ness men and politicians individuals. with the
bad economic and political conditions which pre-
vail. Individual business men are not responsible
for unemployment. Individual politicians are not
responsible, generally for our political shortcom-
ings and sins.
But as groups they responsible. Who among
our business men have ever co-operated In groups
to study the causes Of unemployment in their line
of business? Who among our politicians especially
In New Mexico, have co-operated as a group In
studying the causes and the for our political
ills?
business and to assume sort Of responsibility for
general conditions affecting the welfare Of labor
or OF the people at large.
New conceptions of public service are needed;
new ideals of public duties must take possession OF
men and women who aspire to any manper or
leadership. economic political.
When we consider the ay in which our eco
nomic structure has grown up without thought and
without direction, except from those with selfish
ends to serve 1t will not occasion us surprise to
know that there glazing defects in 1t which
must be remedied from within by an evolution to-
ward better conditions, changed by revolution
system.
A new spirit of group responsibility must take
the place Of inert acquiescence. This sense OF
group responsibility is the thing the unemployment
conference has sought to develop. Local officials
are asked to grapple with the problem in their
community.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
DRUMSTICk.
BY Howard 3. CARTS

When Uncle Wiggily was hop
ping through the woods one morn
ing. rustling under his paws the
dried leaves that had fallen from
the erees, the bunny rabbit gentle
man heard voices talking behind
some bushes.
This is the time ] must look
out" thought the bunny rabbit gen.
tleman to himself. II am a long
way from Nurse Jane and my hol-
low stump bungalow, and this may
be the Woozie Wolf or the Fuzzy
Fox. had better take look
before I do much skipping
around"
Just then a voice said.
We'll. we can't find any, so
that's all there is to it. Come chi"
II wonder what it is they can't
find?" thou hit the bunny to him
self. II hope 1t isn't my ears they
are looking for"
He looked over the top of some
sassafras bushes, but intsead of
seeing the Fuzzy Fox or the Woozie
Wolf, as he feared, he caught
glimpse of Jackie and Peetie Bow
Wow the puppy dog boys.
"Oh. hello, Uncle Wiggily!" jov-
fully barked Jackie, as he saw the
bunny's whiskers.
"Hello" answered Mr.. Longears,
twinkling his pink nose. What
aer looking for?"
We're looking for flowers 10
take to the lady mouse teacher in
the hollow stump school," an
swered Peetie. But it is so near
ly winter now that not a blossom
can we find in all the woods"
Come with me and I will show
you something nice to take to the
lady mouse" spoke the bunny
"Tney are flowers of sort"
Uncle Wiggily led the puppy
dogs to the edge of the woods and
there, growing on a bush, were
some red clumps of a beautiful
color.
"Oh--flowers!" parked Jackie,
wagging his tail in Joy.
Well take them to the lady
mouse!" whined his brother.
what kind are they, Uncle Wig
gily?"
"Sumach," answered the bunny.
"Those red clusters are a sort of
mixture of flowers and seeds to-
gether. The sumach, in the fall,
turns red and l often take clumps
of them to Nurse Jane as bou-
quet. When I was a boy I used
to take the long-stemmed clusters
of sumach and play they were
drum sticks"
"This sumaIh does look like a
drum stick" said Jackie, picking
cluster and waving 1t over his
head. "If we had bass drum
now, Peetie, we could make a
noise like a parade of soldiers
coming"
That's right" parked Peetie.
"Of course, these sumach drum
