VICTORY HALL POSSIBILITIES

PROSPECTS of an architectural compct-
i ton for the Victory Hall on the Park
way reflect a commendablc intention on the
part of the County Commissioners in charge
Of this work.
Public buildings illustrating an expendi-
ture Of money disproportionatc to the
amount and degree of artistic discretion en-
ployed are already abundant in this COM
munity It is a matter of urgent necessity
that the combined Memorial and Conven-
ton Hall, which is TO be incorporated in
the exposition aS one of its major fea-
lures, should exemplify beauty of design as
we'll as patriotic purpose.
The uses of this structure for the fair
will be manifold. 1t would doubtless be
employed for great assembages and con-
claves. and perhaps also for appropriate
spectacular and dramatic entertainment.
The latter possibilities are of particular
interest, since 1t is conceivable that. OWING
to the distinctly urban location of the fair,
footlight entertainment, musical or dramatic.
will be much more consp!Cuously featured
within the grounds than in great exhibit
tions of the past.
To be rightly comprehensive recognition
should be accorded the development of the
drama within the last fifty years. period
marked by the rise of the distinctively
American stage. The opportunity TO en-
phasizc what has been accomplished,
transformation which. despite much froth,
has been healthy and encouraging, is at
hand if the Hall of Victory is intelligently
designed.
Architectural ingenuity has discovered
means of adapting large auditoriums to the
presentation of plays.
If the competitive plan system is adopted
II will enable the promoters of the enter
prise to examine all its possibilities for
public service. The welfare of the drama
and it's relation to the social fabric are as
surcdly we'll within the scope of unlver-
sal exposition.

"wooL" NOT ALL WOOL

The proponents OF the Truth in
Fabrics" bill received a potent pre-
cedent this week when the Supreme
Court at Washington handed down
the decision in the case OF the fed
eral trade commission against the
winsted Hosiery company of Con-
necticut, in which the principal con-
troversy was over the use OF trade
names. which Justice Brandeis de-
olared ARE literally false"
The Connecticut company has
long been manufacturing under
wear for trade using such names as
natural wool, natural worsted," 4"
and Australian WOOL" and Justice
Brandeis declared, "none OF this
underwear Is all WOOL" and much
OF II contains only n small percent
age OF wool; some as little as ten
per cent"
All these labels are calculated to
deceive the buying public said Jus
tice BrandeIs and such practice
tends to "aid and encourage the rep
resentations OF INSCRIPTIONS retail
ers and their statesmen who know
ingly sell to their customers as all
wool. underwear which Is largely
composed OF cotton.
when misbranded goods attract
customers by means OF fraud which
they perpetrate, trade is diverted
from tho producer of truthfully
marked goods" the justice said,
and "the fact that honest manufac-
turers might protect their trade by
10 no defense 10 such practices"
Just think what the effect will
be on the demand for wool from this
section when the principle thus en-
nunciated by the supreme court re-
oeiyes acceptance by tho passage OF
the truth In fabrics bill which Is
discussed in another column OF this
issue by william A. Burns.
Not only will sheepmen OF this
section benefit but every honest
manufacturer, every honest mer-
chant will be benefited and the pub
lie will be protected. Not only this
but, wo believe. II will tend to raise
also resorting TO deceptive labels
is no defense for such practices"
