Expect Good FLANNEL Season.

Wholesalers and retailers anticipate
an exceptionally good 1922 season in
flannel shirts. The mid winter of 1890
1921 is said TO have curtailed greatly
their sales and large carryovers were
general Furthermore. little buying of
fiannels for this season was done by
retailers, and stock are now low,
which portends, according to dealers.

That the only way TO meet foreign
competition In the lace industry is
through the medium of the American
valuation plan, Is the opinion OF certain
lace manufacturers, many of whom are
much disquieted by increasing competi-
s.=n OF German. Swiss and French manu-
facturers, and. according to one manu-
facturer, the competition IL so severe
that only the most drastic tariff meas
ures will enable many lace manufac-
turers to survive. Many larger mills are
running on part time. due TO lack Of
orders for the domestic product.

President Sets Week of Decem-
Der 40 as Education
Week.
PROCLAMATION IS ISSUED
Urges Governors of the Various States
and Other Citizens to Give Special
and Thoughtful Attention
to Free Schools.

Washington, Dec. president
Harding issued proclamation desig-
mating next week as american edu-
cation week."
The text of the proclamation fol-
lows:
whereas public education is the
basis of citizenship and Is of primary
Importance to the welfare Of the ma
ton, and
Whereas, more than 100000 boys
and girls in America are not ayailing
themselves of our free school advan-
tages and
Whereas the experiences of the
war revealed vast elements Of popu-
lation that are illiterate. physically
unfit or unfamiliar with American
ideals and traditions; and our future
strength and security are much de-
pendent on their education and COM
mitment TO American ideals;
Therefore, /, Warren G. Harding,
President Of the United States, do
urge the governors of the various
states and territories to set apart De-
cember 4 to 10. inclusive. 1921. as
American education week, during
which citizens in every state are urged
to give special and thoughtful atten-
ton to the needs and the aims of the
public schools.
1T Is particularly recommended
that efforts be addressed to a practi-
cal expression of community interest
in public education.
ITO that end organizations for civic
advancement and social hetterment
are earnestly requested, when 1t can
be made practicable, to provide pro-
grams which will inform the people re-
garding shortcomings and deficiencies
In present facilities, and bring to their
specific, constructive meth
DDS by which, in the respective COM
munities. these deficiencies may be
"The subject of public education
has always been very close to the
American heart, and to the fact that
1t has been made chief responsible
ity Of local governmental units we
largely owe the wide diffusion of edu--
cation facilities.
ut is believed that a widespread
and earnest effort at observance of
education week would do much to en-
phasize this feeling of immediate re-
sponsibility.
Therefore, it is suggested that the
pulpit, press, schools and public gath
erings be enlisted in behalf of this
special effort"

FIND CHILD CUT TO PIECES
Woman Also Slain in Brutal Murder
Case in Chicago-Fire
Reveals Crime.

Chicago, Dec. Gut up and placed
In a wash boiler, ready to be burned III

Coughlin, three years old, was found
In the basement of q house at 1126
North Ayers avenue.
Mrs. Rachel Whalen Penses, forty
four years old, was found upstairs In
bed, dead, her throat cut from ear to
ear with q bread knife. Apparently
she had committed suicide after po-
lice, called by South Park Policeman
Edward Coughlin, the murdered child's
father, had surrounded the house.
Police are convinced that Mrs.
Rachel Whalen Penses, known
moron and psychopathic case. had
murdered the baby, in a fit of insan-
ity, and then ended her own life with
butcher knife yesterday morning.
The absence of any motive for the
crime was explained by the announce

RAIL RATES TOO HIGH
Federal Reserve Board Places
Blame for Poor Business.
Steel and Iron Trade Also Held Re-
sponsible for the Slow
Recovery.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Railroads and
the steel and iron trade were, held
chiefly responsible for failure of bust
ness in the United States to expand
In the bulletin just issued by the fed
eral reserve board.
This report lacks the optimistic pre-
dictionS in earlier surveys and specif-
ically says manufacturing centers
have been forced to let up because
buyers are holding off in the belief
freight rates should and will drop.
The business community, reports to
the reserve board clearly show, de-
mands the railroads take their share
Of loss in the process of price della
ton, and Is prepared to hold back UNI
til the government, or the railroads
themselves, make real effort in that
direction.
Members Of the board agree with
other high officials of the administra-
ton that while railroad rates do not
constitute the chief obstruction to
lower living costs, they do continue to
block the way for hundreds Of indus
tries, in their program to scale quo
tations downward.
The farmers still are bearing the
brunt of the REIMBURSEMENT tangle, the
board said. The prices of their prod
ucts have suffered another drop. but
the things they must buy in actual
necessaries continue high and some of
them, in fact, near the peak prices of
war times.
Some industrial groups, chiefly the
steel and iron trades, are held respon-
sible for some business uncertainty.

NEGRO LODGE MEN HANG ONE
String Up Member for DivuIuine
Secrets, but Rope Breaks
and He Escapes.

Sioux City, Ia, Dec. 2.-Charging
that Sam Jones, thirty-one, had ex-
posed secrets Of a negro lodge to
which he belonged, IA members of
that organization escorted Jones to a
bridge on the outskirts of the city,
bound his hands and feet, and, after
adjusting a clothesline moose about
his neck and attaching it to a bridge
girder, threw him over the rail.
The mob then departed. But the
clothesline broke and Jones landed
in water waist deep.
Rev. Dudley Smith, former pastor
of negro congregation here, was ar
rested, charged with being one of the
party that attempted to lynch Jones.
