Mr.. John Mitchell, Jr.. president of
The Mechanics Savings Bank
Mr.. M tchell has been condemned

FILIPINOS TO RETURN
TO OLD NATIONAL DRESS

MANILA, Oct. 10.-Restoration
of the colorfuf native "barong'' as
the attire of Filipino legislators, Is
proposed in a resolution submitted
by Representative Rafael Villane-
iva in the House of Representa-
tives. Heretofore native lawmak-
ers have sported the approved
American dress, but many believe
it would be more patriotic return
to the original fashion of the Phil
ippines.
The "barong" is a shirt-like gar
meat, with a narrow neck-band and
takes the place of both shirt and
coat. Worn outside the belt Of the
trousers, it gives Americans the i'm
preston that the wearer had dress
ed hastily and neglected TO tuck MS
shirt into his trousers.

/. HARKS CAUSING
FAIL RES AT WAYCROSS

WAYCROSS, Oct. 10.-Recent
failures among the local shopmen
are due in many cases to the fact
that their wages are sold before
they are earned and at high dis
count rate, according to informa.
ton received yesterday afternoon
from well-known Waycross at
torney who has interested himself
in the class of cases mentioned.
Alleged operations of loan
sharks" in the city have been the
cause of large per cent of these
failures, it is said. One case is
cited, where one shopman owed
seven establishments at one time
for wages sold before payment to
him. 1t is said that in this partic.
ular case the debtor was obligated
to pay $40 out of $125 salary.
leaving him only small balance
with which to support himself and
