POSNN A SALE of this magnitude, involving a stock the
size of our stock, where the major portion of it en-
N..N tirely escaped even the slightest damage, it is bound
to occur that some less experienced buyers would
expect reductions upon perfect merchandise on the same
basis of merchandise actually damaged by fire and water.
Obviously these expectations could not be realized.
For instance, case after case of new I92I-22 fall and win
ter ready-to-wear garments were in the basement and in
transit when the fire occurred. They escaped damage en-
tirely and under ordinary conditions would have been sold
on our regular margin of profit.
But we are clearing everything in the store or in transit
during the fire and to do it have marked down the new
and unchanged merchandise radically.
As a matter of course, though goods of this character could
not be priced on the same basis as that damaged by fire
or water.
The real test OF values in the fire sale lies in the buying judy
ment of experienced shoppers who return to the store day
after day as they realize more fully how drastic the reduc-
tiOnS really are.

Movement for Woman's
Rights Hits Formosa

TAlWAN, Formosa, Sept. S.-(Asso-
ciated Press)-The world movement
for woman's emancipation has struck
Formosa. Her women who are most
ly of the Chinese ace are demanding
the abolition of the system of "en-
gagement money" which is paid by
their suitors when the marriage con-
tract is made, declaring that the
payment of money to their parents is
an insult that their dignity and posi-
ton as freedom women
A young lady of education, a grad
uate of a girls school, commands as
much as Yen 1900 to yen 1000 as en-
gagement money and such a sum is
a very desirable addition to the fam
lily fortune these days, but these
young ladies refuse TO consider them
selves livestock and decline marriage
without personal consent and with a
bridegroom of decent and sufficient
education. Most FOrmosan marriages
are arranged on the basis OF the de
STABILITY of the engagement money
and the bride-to-be has little to say
about the matter.
Some young women insist that the
trouble with engagement money is
that it is too high and desirable suit
ors often are kept away because they
cannot pay the price demanded. A
certain number of the less modern
women are demanding that the zen
gagement money be reduced to a
point where matrimony will be easier
Of accomplishment for them. The
FOrmosans are polygamistists but the
modern tendency is to remain salts
fed with only one wife. 1t is said
that if engagement money" does not
decrease soon the habit of plural mar
riages will decrease because very few
men can afford to purchase more than
n wife at present high prices.
