White
w ash PetticOats
For Active Girls

We know that an active girl
is hard on petticoats and SO
do the makers of "Fitrite'
wash petticoats which we
nave been selling for years.
They are cut~liberal across
the hips where the most
strain comes, are double
stitched where necessary,
shadow proof and have a
non-rip placket.
Let them play tennis, dance or
go to picnics. but be sure they
have q "Fitrite'' wash petit
coat that launders beautifully
and gives a world of continu-
Gus service.

Does Your Petticoat Enhance
the Appearance of Your
New Frock?

Oftentimes the proper selection of a -petticoat
plays as important part in dress as the back
ground does to picture.
The new frock you intend to wear tomorrow
afternoon may just need the silky sheen of
wash satin to bring out its beauty.
And there is a nice thing about these wash
satins-they launder well, are rich in appear
ance and yet they are SO reasonable in price
you can hardly afford to be without one.
Your choice of either white or flesh in popular
lengths.

ENGLISH PREPARE BILL
TO PREVENT DUMPING
Provides Strict Ban on Many
Imports.

LONDON, Feb. 17.-The Star to-day
prints an outline of the Governments
''anti-dumping BILL" drafted with the
purpose of improving trade and sta
bilizing exchange. The newspaper says
the measure will be introduced in the
House OF Commons next week.
The measure would empower the
Board Of Trade, after committee recon-
mendations, either TO bar entirely or to
admit on license a limited number of
articles, among them fine chemicals, cer-
tain giasswares, special porcelains, op-
tical lenses. tungsten powder, zinc OK
ide, arc lamp carbons and gas mantles.
The clauses dealing with exchange,
says the Star, would enable the Gov
ernipent ito impose an import duty par
ticularly on cheap goods which, rising
or falling with exchange rates over the
period OF month, will establish parity
between the price OF imported and home
produced goods"
feature of the bill making 1t differ
