Style Shows

The value of style show always is twofold
First, it gives to purchasers an opportunity to
study the fashions of the season under good con-
ditions. Secondly, it stimulates the buying of
goods.
The stimulation of trade by demand for goods
is wonderful process. Few of us can grasp its
many ramifications, but the process is soon felt
in the re-opening of factories the employment of
more men, and a general resumption of COM
merce.
Here is patent illustration. The sudden
demand of the American public for certain con-
fection, consisting of block of ice cream covered
with chocolate, had very noticeable effect in our
export trade The cocoa bean market was in q
bad slump but the demand for this new food
product turned the scale between depression and
prosperity in many foreign countries that are
interested in the manufacture of the raw prod
ucts that enter into it.
The same experience may be expected from
a style show or any project that puts before the
public necessities and sem-luxuries in an allur-
ing manner. And with buying power stimulated,
the thousands of factories and other industries
that directly and indirectly are involved in our
gigantic commercial and industrial system feel
the impulse of the stimulus which the public has
| given.

When you've decided that your

Until the thought occurs to you
that it mightn't be bad idea to
make thorough canvass of the
local prospects with an ad in the
Palladium's Automobile columns
And within a few days your sales
message stirs up three or four in

gets right down to business and you
talk things over and he pulls out

clergyman who was a widow er,
had three grown-up daughters Hav.
ing occasion to go away for a few
weeks he wrote home from time to
time. In one of his letters he inform
ed them that he had married a widow
with six children.

When the minister returned home, one
of the daughters, her eyes red with
weeping, said:
where's the widow you married
father?"
ooh, married her to another man.
l ought to have told you that said
the minister.
The late Edgar Saltus was some
times prevailed on by New York ed
itors to write dramatic criticisms. His
criticisms were always severe and
amusing.
Mr.. Saltus one evening went to crit
icise a very popular actor in Ham
let" He did not like the actor, and
his criticism consisted of the words:
Mr.. Blank played Hamlet last
night at the Lyric. He played it from
8:15 till 11:40."

those days rs the World war when it
broke out. His arrest brought the col
lapse of the erstwhile republic. Then
he was released. He gave up fighting
and developed an immense plantation,
on which he produced hemp, sugar

Paying Interest on the War Debt

Secretary Hughes evidently caused little
research work among the European nations when
he asked that America be reimbursed for the
cost of patrolling portion of the Rhine. The
intimation that payment of interest on the huge
war loans owed here by foreign nations would
be acceptable also served good purpose.
Great Britain has informed us that she is
ready to pay part of the interest she owes us,
and at the time has informed some of the
European countries to whom she loaned money
that interest payments are in order.
The United States has not been disposed to
crowd the allied governments for payments OF
interest or reduction of the principal, but on
the other hand it has never lost sight of the fact
that the loans were made in good faith with the
understanding that they should be repaid.
The American people have never listened
kindly to the suggestion of cancellation of the
debts, fact that seems to have become clear
across the Atlantic, as suggestions for this
course are no longer received
Many financiers believe that if the European
nations fix the idea firmly in their mind that
Uncle Sam cannot afford to give away money by
the billions and expects obligations to be met
they will be able to devise method of ultimately
paying their debts. Our government has gone
