Superficially, there is nothing about
an earth mound to inspire an ordin-
airy individual.
And even if he is assured that it is
a genuine Indian mound and digs into
it from human curiosity, the probabili-
ties are that he will find little or moth
ing, his inclination being to look for
something larger.
Pottery is usually in pieces, broken
up by long years of continuous pres
sure, and these are so much the same
color of the earth as to be scarcely
recognizable
There are from twenty to thirty
Indian mounds in Wayne County,
relics of the ancient race of mound
builders, systematic excavation of
which has never been made" says

Museum of History in New York City,
and leading authority on Anthropology
in the country, who made a survey Of

Advise Dating shoes.

Date your shoes and do so with re-
jigious care. is the advice given shoe
dealers by the National Wholesale Shoe
Dealers Association. A reason given
for that advice is that il offers one of
the best means of avoiding dispute In
the event that claim that shoe did
not give good service is made. Atten-
ton is called to the old story about hav-
ing worn shoes only once or twice, not
for more than a week at most. and
here they are already worn out. If
clerk Is unable to prove when the shoes
were sold the retailer has to make
good by refunding the money, allowing
a discount on another pair or giving
another pair. Another reason given in
favor of the proposed method is that
customers are not as apt to bring them
back II they know that they are dated
and the suggestion that they will not
try to get new pair of shoes for an
old pair is made.

no Change in Gray Goods.

Little activity was evident In yes
terdays local gray goods market. The
tendency of buyers appeared to he to
await the cotton markets action before
making any commitments. Inquiries
were light and practically no buying OF
any size was recorded. Sales of print
cloths of 1914 inch, 64-60s. and 80 inch
68-72s. were quoted at "a and 9% cents,
respectively. Prices of sheetings re-
rnained the same. with little buying in
evidence. Speciality lines were without
features. The burlap market had dull
day. buyers apparently being unwilling
to purchase at its prices. Buyers quo
tations were about Is points under pre-
valling prices. The Calcutta market
was stronger. prices ranging between
4.05 and 4.S5. Cables reported that
74,300.000 yards were shipped out OF
Calcutta TO the East Coast and Canada
and 3,S00.00 to the West Coast during
November. That showing was little
less than that OF October.

f, Before we can formulate a policy for
xronted with many problems Of readjust-
ment. one OF which is what are norma
prices? Were the prices of 1914 normal?
And what makes for a normal price?
Prices In 1914 were low. labor was
cheap, underpaid in fact conditions were
different then and we cannot expect
and do not want ever to return to those
conditions nor have merchandise prices
returned to the low ebb Of 1914. To my
mind, the more normal period was
reached about half way between the 1914
and the 1920 prices. and those are the
prices toward which we should aim.
Labor was paid a fair wage, materials
brought fair return and other expenses
were In fair proportion.
AT the present time merchandise
prices have been raised to meet the in
flation In all branches leading to the
final selling of merchandise. labor, ma
terials and all incident9ls expense, ana
norrnalcy will be reached when prices re-
cede about one-third, or back to where
they were about midway between the
low prices of 1914 and the high prices
OF 1920. when the high peak was reached.
The general trade outlook depends en-
tirely upon the adjustment or the dltil-
culties existing between countries. The
influence OF any disagreement between
nations keenly affects trade conditions,
not only in the countries involved but
the world over. Before we can expect 81
clearer outlook we must see the ques-
tions arising between the United States
and Japan, the Chinese question. the
German question. the question between
England ard Ireland. and in fact all the
many lesser disagreements that have
arisen since the world war. all must be
settled and adjusted in order to stabilize
business. J. NJ. GIppING.

Dropping Side Lines.

The complexities OF the optical busi-
ness are leading many larger operators
to consider seriously abandoning their
sidelines of specialties. including opera
glasses, barometers, thermometers, jew
elry and many other classes of merchan-
disc that one. usually finds in an optical
shop. In announcing that move the
operators state that for several years
the buying of these specialties has pre-
sented such problem that their chief
business of examining eyes and fitting
glasses has been seriously impaired. In
addition. 1t is pointed out that such
specialties have slow turnover, as the
number of their buyers is necessarily
limited. and that in the majority of in
stances they represent dead stock which
dealers must carry from year to year.
The increasing comretition from de-
partment stores carrying these lines is
also said to be factor in influencing
opticians to discontinue sales OF such
merchandise.

AMONG THE SHOPS.
Syndicate Releases SILK.

Confirmation that Japanese raw silk
syndicate had offered 10000 bales of It's
holdings was received yesterday by the
silk market Cable reports stated that
the entire amount had been sold for
1900 to 1850 yen. The number of bales
left the syndicate by that release was
$4,000. Quick sales of almost half
of the syndicate's holdings were record
ed, which. according to silk men, was
an encouraging feature. The talk con-
corning the shortage OF raw silk Is be-
Eeved to have been responsible in great
part for the advance in the price of the
raw material. The sale of the syndicate
stocks Is expected to make. UP for any
discrepancy In supplies owned in the
open market. No great decrease in
price. however. Is expected to follow the
release of the syndicate silk. Predic-
tions are for large crop next year.
