There is no move to go ahead with
large projects that have been held up
on account Of high costs of construc-
ton.
Strike Hits Textiles.
Very little is doing in the local tex
tile mills on account of the strike
which has been in progress for three
months The interruption is a hard
blow to local industries. whose bust
ness is slipping away to New Eng
land and other textile centers where
mills are operating. However. the
manufacturers here say that il they
should pay much higher wage than
is paid elsewhere for the same kind
of work the local mills could not com
pete with other mills which turn out
products at lower cost.
On account of the strike textile
manufacturers Of Reading. Pa. are
much business which heretofore came
to Philadelphia. Seventy-fve per cent
of the hosiery mills in the Reading
section. including all the larger
plants, are in operation, in full or in
part.
Factory Business Better.
According to William r. Wether-
hold. president of the eastern Penn
sylvania division of the National AS
ISOLATION of Hosiery and Underwear
Manufacturers, business in the fac
tories is better now than at any time
since the slump started last fall.
The Nolde & Horst Hosiery Com
pany, employing $500 men and wom-
en-, is operating full-handed and on a
normal schedule, and the Berkshire
Company of Wyomissing has 1,4o0
people at work, 400 more than in its
best previous total.
All departments of the Reading
Chain Block Corporation, employing
seventy skilled workmen. have re-
stunned work after two weeks idle
ness.
CHICAGO, April 13.-Business in
interests here and in all parts of the
west have taken heart from the
statement by President Harding in
his message to Congress that freight
rates are causing stagnation in in
dustry and must come down." The
long hauls to and from the west
have proved so costly under the ex-
listing freight schedules that many
shipments, even of perishable goods.
have been abandoned. The high freight
rates were authorized at a time of
high price levels. and il business is
to go ahead they can no longer be
maintained.

CHICAGO, April 13.-Investigations
are disclosing some obstacles business
has to overcome. Preparations are
being made to improve marketing
conditions through farmers co-opera-
tive efforts. Prices, however. continue
to fall. Wheat and corn. brick and
lumber silks and shoes have all been
mentioned within the week.
The wage problem is no nearer solu-
ton so far as labor organizations are
concerned, but men in need of work
are providing a force that tends to
bring wages down.
Prices Must Advance.
Generally speaking. business sup
plies are low and prices must soon
advance. But the purchasing of other
things than clothes and food lagS.
Automobiles are an exception. Pro-
duction of motor cars is mounting.
Ford is over one hundred thousand
cars behind orders and the number of
men employed in the motor industry
is rapidly increasing.
1t seems rather strange now to re-
call the many sins once attributed to
the motor industry. 1t was charged
that it upset the labor market during
prosperity. 1t advanced wages, con-
gested the railroads, hired strikers
depopulated farms.
These things, urged so vigorously a
year ago, are now forgotten and the
motor manufacturers are looked upon
as the heralds of 4 new prosperity.

BUSINESS NOTES.
PITTSBURGH, April 13.-The cut in
steel prices announced by the United
states Steel Corporation is expected
to go long way toward stabiliZing
prices in the entire steel industry. The
independents increased prices on plates
and bars within the last few days.
after a long period Of price cutting
during the time the corporation was
adhering to the schedule fixed by the
War Industries Board back in March
1919. The increase by the independ-'
ents and the decrease by the corpor-
alton have brought steel prices to
something like level. and it is rec
ognized that this is great step for
ward. Builders and manufacturers
may now go ahead with their pro-
grams in the full knowledge that steel
prices virtually are fixed for the next
two or three years. In some in
stances the new prices Of the steel
corporation are above the new prices
Of the independents and in a few in
stances they are below the independ-
ents. The differences are not great
in any case. and will soon be adj
justed.

The smaller the watch. the greater
the cost. That is. if the watch was
made to keep dependable time.
And a small. ladies wrist-watch is
rarely dependable if it lacks stand
ardization. The fame, reliability
and worth of the Waltham Watch
has been built upon this undeniable
fact. The tiniest ladies' wrist
watch made on this continent is a
Waltham: although its dial is
even smaller than a dime. it keeps
the same dependable time as the
larger Waltham gentlemen S watch.
known all over the world for its
accuracy and reliability.
And the reason this tiniest of ladies'
wrist-watches keeps the time day in and
year out. is because it is standardized.
1t is a tiny, but perfect reproduction
of the highest grade. larger Waltham
Watch. Every part. every jewel. wheel
and pinion bearing is perfection itself
because of exact standardized reduction
in size. Just as you see star reflected in
a dewdrop-so in these exquisite. tiny.
perfect time-pieces you have beauty.
plus lifelong service, which is the only
reason why you desire to own and to buy
a wrist-watch.
Do not be misguided by "lower prices
or lust as good" or high sounding
foreign names when you go to buy your
wrist-watch. No lady desires watch
that will soon be hidden away among
disused trinkets. or that will cost her
small fortune in upkeep.
The more tiny the watch. the more it will
cost you: but beautiful. small wrist
watch is priced possession indeed. when
you can depend upon it. The name of
Waltham upon the dial is an assurance of
integrity in workmanship. of dependable
ity. and true value for what you pay
for it. 1t will profit you to insist that
your wrist-watch be Waltham.

Hegets the blamewhen the works"
go wrong, not the maker who lives

There are ladies who may be
reading this advertisement who
own tiny. exquisite looking wrist
watches that simply will not go
or keep time. They have sent
them to the leading jewelers. in
their town, but the trouble cannot
seemingly be put right. Why is
this?
There are two reasons: one, that
the watch was sold at price which
forbade fine workmanship, and
materials. Two, that the watch
lacked Standardization. which is
essential in tiny wrist-watches if
they are to keep continuous and
dependable time.
And you cannot purchase a de-
pendable wrist-watch except at
a relatively increasing price as the
size of the watch decreases. In
other words. the smaller the watch
the greater the cost. Errors of
workmanship can exist in. say. a
watch of medium size. that would
be disastrous in tiny watch. The
works" of the tiny watch must be
perfect even to the fraction of hui
man hair. For instance:
When the dial of a ladies' wrist
watch gets below the size of
twenty-five cent piece. the cost of
such watch mounts rapidly; and
when the dial decreases to the size
of a dime, the cost has increased at
least four to FIVE times as much.

AWatch or a Bracelet-w which do you buy?

A woman does not buy a bracelet
n when she wants watch. Yet,
1 \ that is really what thousands
of keen and experienced women
buyers are doing unknowingly
every day. And it is not their
fault.
Ladies wrist-watches are FASH
ionable and they are always going
to be fashionable. A lady does not
buy a wrist-watch to take the place
of bracelet. She purchases a
wrist-watch to tell her the time.
And a wrist-watch that is always
going wrong, stopping or
that spends most Of its life upon
the repair bench-that kind of
watch is neither beautiful nor use
fulEit is an expensive luxury.
Alas. there are scores of thou
sands of ladies' wrist-watches hid
ing their worthlessness in bureau
drawers. knick-knack and jewel
boxes because their owners dis
covered they were made merely to
look at. And the majority of these
watches bear foreign names. But
as they were sold at such low
prices. much lower than a tiny
Waltham for instance, their owners
thought that they were saving
money.
A watch is bought upon faith.
And there is not an article sold
wherein and whereof we can be so
much deceived as in watch. 1t is
not the jewelers. fault. The de-

DEAOLOCKED ON

Town Governing Body And Mary
land Health Authorities Fail
To Agree On Plan

The question of new sewerage
system for Ocean City, which has
been debated by the State Board of
Health for four years, again was rails
ed at meeting of the board Wednes-
day when delegation from the East
ern Shore resort came to Baltimore
to protest against the boards insist
ence that a new system be built at
once.
The State board ordered the Ocean
City authorities in 1917 to construct
a new sewerage system. but the order
was not obeyed. Under the law a
penalty of up to $500 for failure to
obey such an order in the first in
stance, and up to $50 day for each
day an order remains disobeyed, can
be imposed. Governor Ritchie, when
Attorney General, instituted proceed
ings against Ocean City for recovery
of this penalty, but the case was never
brought to trial.
The Ocean City delegation protested
Wednesday that at this time the mu-
nicipal treasury has not enough money
to construct a new system. Governor
Ritchie, who attended Wednesdays
meeting, suggested further confer
ence on the matter and this was held
Wednesday afternoon. f. f. Collins,
Mayor of Ocean City; w. Lee Carey.
jefferson d. Station and DR.. F. j..
Townsend represented Ocean City at
this conference.
The State board maintained its posi-
ton that a new sewerage system is
absolutely necessary at the resort, and
the committee continued to insist that
the present system is all right for the
present and until the town gets
enough money to build a new one.
A committee from the State Board
of Health will go to Ocean City to in
spect the present system next week
and the matter may then be brought
to a definite issue.
