A thought on irsoa
Yuletide giving
And a few hints on how
to fill Fathers stocking

Another Christmas is rapidly rolling
around.
Another year when you have to sit
down and thinls--and think hard
what to give Uncle Arthur, Father,
Cousin Edward, Grandfather and the
rest.
Every maxwell. nearly every man
likes nothing better than agoodpipe.
And the chances are that he will find
atleast one hanging on the Christmas
tree and be tremendously pleased.
Right there is your opportunity to
step in and give him something to go
with the pipe.
Not an ash tray. Gle probably has
dozens of them.) Not a metal con-
tainer for safety matches. (He1l
never carry the darn thing.) Send
him some tobacco. Chats what men
usually smoke in pipes) So to Edge
worth smokers, to the friends OF
Edgeworth smokers, and to all others
who may be interested, we respect
fully offer this Christmas suggestion:

NO EXAMINATION FOR
RAILWAY MAIL CLERK

Washington, d. C.-The United
States Civil Service commission stat.
ed today that there have been
brought to its attention numerous
misleading advertising circulars and
newspaper advertisements OF certain
so-called civil service schools.
In these circulars and advertise.
ments information is given that a
railway postal clerk examination is
soon to be held. The commission
states that no such examination has
been announced and that it is not
known at this time when it will be
necessary to hold an examination of
the kind. When one is to be held
1t will be duly announced
Many Of thees socalled civil serv-
ice schools, said the commission, re-
cruit a considerable part of their
clientele among young people of linn
tied education in rural communities,
who fall easy victims to alluring
statements regarding railway postal
clerk and other positions IN the
government service and extravagant
claims as to the advantages of train
ing with the sO-called schools.
The commission points out that
definite and authentic information
regarding pending examinations may
always be obtained from any of its
local representative or by writing
direct to the office of the commits
sion at Washington, d. c. The COM
mission has representative at the
postoffice or customhouse in each
of approximately $500 cities through
out the country.

SILK GROWERS
RESENT ACTION
BANK OF japan A \!
Much Comment Caused In
Japan by Stand Taken
Against Silk Men.

TOXIC, July 49, Consd a4abl
comment has been evoked in seri-
cultural circles regarding the atti-
tude adopted by the Bank of Japan
which advised the bankers through
cut the country TO withhold ad
ccmmodation to the raw silk manu-
facturers who may be induced to
buy the now seasons cacoons at
their Extraordinarily high price.
The reason advanced by the Bank
OF Japan is that if the cacoons are
bought at their prevailing high cost,
raw silk produced therefrom must
be sold at such a high price that the
export trade would decline. There
fore the Bank believes it advisable
that the price OF cacoons should be
brought down to a more reasonable
level for the sake of national
economics.
The attitude assumed by the Bank
of Japan, however, is resented by
many cacoon producers. SAINT Muto,
president of the Manegafuchi Spin
llIHo VIZ dtliilS, tlclI
gives his views of the subject in the
press. Mr.. Muto characterizes the
attitude taken by he Bank as un-
called for and intended to upset the
economic laws of supply and de-
mand.
I'm 1920, when economic circles
were faced with panic" says Mr..
Muto, 1.-THE cacoon producers were
Obliged to resort" to sacrific sales
thereby sustaining heavy losses. II
is true that the silk manufacturers
were also put to considerable diff
Guilty but in their case the govern
ment came to the rescue and their
difficulties were materially lessened
by the establishment of the Imperial
Raw SILK Co. which undertook to
buy up the stock at fixed prices.
THE cacoon producers, however,
had no redress and were the prin-
cipal sufferers at the time The
consequence was that the yield OF
cacoons last year showed a decrease
as against the previous year and
! this years yield is likely to show a
decrease of 10 per cent on 1921.
Now that a boom has set in, the
expert of raw silk it is only natural
that the price of cacoons should
rise. In the circumstances the in
| reference of the Bank of Japan not
only is needless but harmful as 1t
tends to protect the raw silk manu-
facturers at the expense of the ca
coon producers.
Other interests say unless the
price of cacoons and thus silk Ii
lowered the business will collapse
as silk stockings and other articles
of feminine wear which consume SO
much silk, will rise beyond purses
of the women of America who are
the chief support of the silk in.
dustry.
