Edison's FIST important invention
was an Improvement on o telegraphic

Apparel.

Interest in apparel Is confined
mostly to the retail end. Warmer
weather has given the retail trade
a brighter tone and fewer COM
plants are heard from the mer-
chants regarding poor business.
The season in mems straw hats
has started auspiciously with a
good distribution and little COM
plant on the part OF consumers
regarding present prices. Keen
competition in selling has brought
prices nearer pre-war levels than
have been seen for two or three
years From 50 to IS is the popu-
lar selling prices, according to re-
tailers.
Some cuts have been made by
retailers to move spring clothing
for both men and women, and
where the cuts have been drastic
good sales have resulted.
In the opinion Of most merchants
demand Is centered on the extremes
Of merchandise, the poorest at one
end and the best at the other.
This is peculiar and is hard to
explain, in view Of the fact that
up to the present the bulk of re-
tail buying has been done by the
so-called middle classes.
The Washington times., 1921-05-25

SO far as the stabilization OF
prices is concerned, the past week
showed some progress along this
line.
The drop in raw silk prices ap-
parently has been checked. Cotton
I'd wool were steady to siiehtiy
weak. Manufactured products
however. were more hrm. Ne"
prices for hosiery for fsii de"v-
ery actually showed slight ad-
yanees in silk and artificial SILK
numbers. New prices were made
on denims by one OF the largest
producers, bringing them down q
couple of points. Cotton PRINT
cloth prices were steady.
Production reports emanating
from the textile and kindred trades
indicate that in the main machih-
cry is from so to rs per cent en-
ployed At present.
Although no definite solution OF
the foreign trade problem was
agreed upon at the convention ana
world trade conference In New
York last week under the auspices
Of tho National Association OF
Man ufacturers, the problem
was clarified to some extent
ara many of the individual
producers asserted their Intention
of tAckling the problem anew. Tho
conference was honored with the
presence OF foreign ambassadors.
ministers. and commercial repre-
sentatives who described conditions
in their own countries and offered
suggestions for reviving foreign
commerce. In most cases, II was
pointed out. the lack of credit and
the low rates of exchange are the
greatest obstacles to foreign trade
at present.
The manufacturers went on rec
ord as favoring the spread OF the
open shop doctrine and approved
severe arraiGnment of the present
policies Of labor leaders.

Revision of the Lever Cotton

by senator Dial. Democrat, OF South
Carolina, who Is a cotton planter and
cotton mill owner, before the Senate
Agriculture Committee.
Dial declared that speculation in
futures on the cotton exchanges re-
suited in eight times the amount Of
cotton produced being sold in one
year. He said speculation In cotton
futures should not be permitted to
affect spot cotton prices as II did, and
urged the passage Of bill he has
pending. when he said would prevent
such speculation. The committee de-
c,ded to hold the bill under advise

CITY CLUB HOUSING
CHIEF OBJECTS TO
RICHARDS VIEWS
Tax Exemption for New Build
ings Insignificant in Total,
Declares Claude Owen.

Claude w. Owen. chairman of the
housing group OF the City Club, has
taken issue with the report submitted
10 the City Club by District Assessor
William p. Richards. who criticized
the plan advocated by Senator Calder
10 exempt new building operations
from taxes for a term of years. AS
SCISSOR Richards takes the stand that
the loss in taxes by exempting new
building will have to be borne by
someone and also that the tenants
probably would not get the beneht
OF the reduced costs to the landlord.
Both assessors believe apparently
that the plan would stimulate housing
construction" Mr.. owen says. "or at
IL asst they cite objections based only
en- this belief, with one exception.
TN my opinion, and I think II is
general, there can be no possible OBJ
lection to plan which will provide
housing where housing is badly
needed; lower rents give work where
10000 are unemployed and stimulate
business generally. If there are valid
objections to such proved results, we
might as well all shut up shop.
"If, as Mr.. Richards appears to be-
lieve, lessening of demand through
Increased supply would not adjust
PRICES at tne1r true economic leVel,
then we would have no other way of
providing the needed rental housing
at fair prices except by government
construction. l have more faith in
he law of supply and demand. Let
this plan increase the supply. as Mr..
Richards agrees IL will, and a few
vacant rooms will soon adjust rents
In an American way. with no abroga.
ton OF contracts needed to protect the
public.
In his estimate OF the tax loss.
MI. Richards also has included all
building construction at full value,
whereas the measure the Housing
group advocates would exempt only
housing construction exclusively and
mat Tor not more than $4,000 of the
value OF any house or flat in any case.
The loss this would cause would be
undiscoverable when added to the tax
rate of the entire city"

Humane Trust Buster
Is This Nemesis
of Grafters

NEW YORK, May 25.-Samuel
Untermyer, millionaire "labor
trust buster" whose roundup Of
the building grafters of New York
has already caused 1000 indict-
ments, has a picturesque way Of
appearing at the city hall for the
daily sessions of the Lockwood
legislative committee.
AS he steps out of his limousine
he is flanked by the chauffeur and
his secretary carrying his "bag-
gage" consisting Of:
One Portmanteau containing
important documents.
One milk bottle, constituting his
lunch.
One paper bag, containing rare
blossoms.
He replaces his boutonniere as
soon as II shows the slightest SIGN
of willing.

Couons.

Fair business in practically all
divisions of the cotton goods trade
was reported last week. Gray or
diminished goods were firm in price
throughout the week.
Sales were estimated at about
100000 pieces in the New Bedford
section and close to that amount
In the local markets.
Cotton yarns were steady, but the
brisk buying OF a week ago ap-

Woolens.

Woolen production. as shown by
the monthly statistics issued late
last week by the Department Of
Commerce, is increasing rapidly
and 10 now close to 20 or rs per
cent of the capacity OF the mills.
Present sales are slow, due to
the seasonal influences. Some
mills can still take on additional
orders, while others assert that
they will be unable to produce all
the goods contracted for for de-
livery into the fall.
The garment manufacturing
trades are believed to have or
dered their initial requirements,
and future business from these
sources depends upon the manner
in which orders are booked for all
clothing. Present indications along
this line are favorable, according
to all reports.

A slightly better feeling per-
vades the fur trade, although bust
ness remains on a restricted basis.
The fall manufacturing season
has not yet begun and manufactur-
ing furriers are chary in laying in
stocks of raw materials until thev
discover the buying temper of the
retailers.
The latter are placing some or
ders for delivery of goods for the
August fur sales. but so far the
business has not shown much snap

SKETCH MADE BY DOOMED
PRISONER

NORWICH. N. Y, May 25.-The
first thought of Herbert w. Smith
after he had heard the sentence of
death pronounced upon him was OF
his sweetheart and he made formal
request Of the sheriff that he might
be allowed to pose for his photograph
and send a copy to the girl, Cecil
Clark. of Chenango Forks.
Smith must die in the electric chair
some time this week. His crime was
the murder OF Lewis II. Johnson. of
Ninevah Junction. Only an eleventh
hour appeal on the part OF Smiths
lawyers can prevent his execution.
Smith was caught by Lewis John
son and his son, Lewis II. Johnson, In
| their store early one morning last
winter. The post office is also To-
Gated in the store. A clattering burg
! lar alarm had brought father and son
! from their beds. armed with shot
| guns.
SHOT WHILE HANDS WERE TIED.
They captured and handcuffed the
| man. The gun was placed on the
| counter. the older man turned to the
telephone to notify the authorities
and the son went to the rear of the
little country store.
The manacled hands of the prisoner
grssped the shotgun and emptied il
into the back OF the old man, accord
ing to the evidence presented in court
at his trial.
In his cell Smith makes sketches
He has apparently. some natural talent
for the work. His drawings have be-
come advertised among the prison Of
ficials and many have been sought.
The one reproduced here is typical Of
his efforts.
Smith remembers the few people
who were kind to him and wishes to
show his appreciation. He wrote W.
F.. Chapman. Norwich photographer,
who made the picture for his sweet
heart. as follows:
II left two pictures up to the sher
ifs office for you in care OF Mr.. Mer
kamer but IL you didn't get them why
here Is one and when I get time TO
draw you another l will. Kindly let
me know II you received this picture.
II received the two pictures that
you sent me and was very pleased
with them. You were true to your
word and l will be true TO mine.
Hoping that you will like this one.
and wishing you the best OF luck and
happiness. I remain yours very re-
spectfully, Herbert w. Smith"
