Foreman Is Speaker
At KitCGniS Meeting

ELKHART. Ind. Dec 6.-J. w
Foreman. superintendent of schools
in Goshen. delivered the principal
address before the Kiwanis club
here yesterday afternoon. in which
he enumerated the evils existing
among the young girls OF school
age who endeavor TO initiate the
style of their older sisters.
Mr. Foreman denounced the moth
ers and fathers for their failure 10
do something 10 prevent the growth
OF the practice. He asked the IA
theirs present 10 assist in alleviat-
ing the dangers By forbidding their
daughters 10 roam about the streets
improperly clad. To combat the
growing belief among the young
girls that they should wear clothes
of "fimsy material" because IL is the
style. he urged the fathers 10 insist
that their daughters war decent and
suitable clothing.
He further suggested that the Ia
theirs should gain the condolences Of
their sons by treating them as chums
rather than strangers. Many OF the
vices committed by the younger boys
OF this generation are the results Of
ignorance on the part OF the BOYS.
according 10 Mr.. Foreman, and II Is
the duty OF all fathers 70 warn and
instruct their sons on all questions
pertaining 70 sex.

Mercantile Failures
Gradually Decreasing

This years total liabilities Of
mercantile houses that have failed
already exceed that Of any previous
full year in the history of the
United States, although the statis-
tics at hand only show liabilities up
TO Nov. /. 1921.
The amount involved up 10 Nov.
is S591,1O5,741.0O. This amount
represents Is. $50 mercantile fail
ures. Compare these figures with
the year 1914, when we had 1881
commercial failures with liabilities
of S29S, ,077OO, which at that
time was the record breaker in the
history OF the United States. Al
though the number of failures dur
ing the year Of 1914 was only $500
less than SO far in 1921. the habili-
ties are over twice as great. The
answer 10 this is that the mercantile
houses that failed in 1921 were
caught with the high priced mer-
chandise on their hands. OF course
the concerns that failed in the year
1914 had merchandise that was
bought when low prices prevailed.
The failures are decreasing grad
ually, as January, 1921, saw 1898
failures against the month of Octo-
Der, 1921, 1896. The liabilities of
bankrupt concerns or mercantile
houses in January amounts TO S74,-
10000, as against October Of
$47,722.2O3.OO.
