TRADEMARKED GOODS.

THE public is beginning to awaken
to the value of trade marked goods.
The fact that manufacturers value
their trade marks in the millions
makes it more than evident that a
trade mark means much more than
many at first glance realize.
The B. F. Goodrich Co., value its
trade marks at almost go million dol
lars. Other large organizations have
similar values placed upon them.
The trade mark is the assurance
the public has Of receiving the value
the manufacturer guarantees such an
article to possess. The trade mark
depends upon the true merit of the
article it represents for its W value.
The day of articles which expect
to succeed without a trade mark has
passed. People are buying more
from trade marks than ever in the
history of the world. They want
known values rather than take a
chance on some article not possessing
such a guarantee

O SHORT SKIRTS.

FEMINIST and birth control advo-
cate of the "most" modern school,
Margaret E. Sangster, Of New York,
says the short skirts now being worn
by women help morals.
She states that the diophanous
gowns, low-necked dresses and knee
length skirts decreed by dame fash
ion today have removed the lure of
draperies" Of the fashions Of other
days.
Mrs. Songster proceeds to outline
the mental reaction of men to bare
legged bathing beauties swathed in
one piece of jersey, rouge and with
a lip stick, to accentuate their emo
tional register.
She says men will never know "the
secret emotions of women" and we
would like to remark, Judging from
her attitude on this matter and the
masculine loafer's expression when he
sights a lady ~"modestly" clad in to-
days styles, that she is equally ignor-
ant about the emotions of men.
We are not attempting to start a
crusade against modern fashions but
we think Margaret ought to be told
where to "head in"

NEAR AuIllTul
Mark l.. Bristol, U. s. Navy, High
Commissioner to Turkey, who has
charge Of all American interests in
the Near East, went on record
whole-heartedly in support of the
American relief organization.
IF l have been able to encour-
age the workers Of the Near East
Relief or give them assistance In
any way" the Admiral said, II feel
that | am more than repaid in
Keeping with the success that has
attended the efforts of the Near
East Relief Committee in this part
Of the world in the past. l hope
the future will bring you greater
success. 1t will always give me
pleasure to render any assistance
possible to the Committee as a
whole, to any of the workers, and
to the great work of humanity that
the committee represents"
When 10000 Russian refugees
from the Crimea arrived Off Con-
stantinople, Admiral Bristol lmme-
diately cabled the Near East Re
lief fer help, and the Near East
Relief bakeries fed these refugees
and N. e. r. workers helped the
American sailors to get the sick to
hospitals.
Admiral Bristol Is in intimate
touch with all the work being con

edge of its accomplishments.

the sufferings of exile and the horrors
of slavery; but she knows all too well
the terrible fate of her sisters and
friends. 1t Is for them-the soft-eyed
little girls of fifteen and sixteen whom
last she saw being torn from their
mothers arms and carried off on the
saddle bows Of the Turkish soldiers
that she makes her plea.
What their lives have been since
then may be guessed by a look into The
faces of any of the ten thousand who
have passed through the Rescue Homes
Of the Near East Relief. Their heads
bowed in shame, they creep into the
American relief stations, trying vainly
to hide the tattoo marks which pro-
claim to the world their story.
Thousands Of these girls have been
brought back to life and hope through
the work of the Near East Relief. II
Is to rescue the one hundred thousand
still held captive that the Near
East Relief is making its appeal this
year.

BUSINESS REIMBURSEMENT.

ACCORDING to R. G. Dun & Co.,
of New York there were 1881 bus
mess failures in these United States
in 1920. They represented a loss of
nearly 300 million dollars against
6451 failures in 1919 with a loss of
about ia million dollars.
The increase Of 2430 in number of
insolvencies is relatively much small
err than the expansion of $1S1, 100000
in liabilities, showing the rise in num-
Der of failures to have been 37.7 per

During the Peace Conference In Par.

Capt. Benjamin Burgess Moore of the

as to the value OF the work done by the
Near East Relief form part of his Off

"Armenians are sincerely grateful to

no exaggeration to say that they would
