NEWS CLOTHIERS SAY BUYING RUSH HAS THEM FLOODED
Where Last Year Saw LulI, Fall Of 1923 Brings
 Overflow Business
By RODNEY F. BUTCHER Leased Wire to The AEe-Herald

CHICAGO Sept. 26.-American men who wear clothes are rushing the clothiers to save themselves from a widespread condition of semi nudity.
 Business is good and getting bet ter. according to retail clothiers in national convention here, but it's be- cause MT. Americas old clothes are beginning to fall of his back, rather than for any other reason.
 Only 52 suits were sold to every 100 men last year. the retailers ad. init, in spite of the fact that every man should own two. or three busi- ness suits. "best" suit, dress suit, a dinner suit golfing suit, bathing suit. overall suit Prince Albert and various other outerwear, as well as union suits, which aren't counted among the 52 that every 100 men bought.
 Hence, the year was rather lean for the retailers, until the pendulum began to swing back, buttons began to come off, seats began to lost pos sibility of patching and coats began to shed all their horsehatr.
 Now the cTothiers are selling those 48 leftovers and some more.
 Suits Must Cave In.
 Those old suits so many fellows decided to wear another year must be falling to pieces about now" said Fred Voiland, president of the asso- ciation, Wednesday. "A lot of deal- CTS here say they're actually dizzy booking so many orders, whicn would seem to confirm such sus- picion."
 The boys have been on a buying diet" for eight months, yoiland says, and have no surplus stocks, so a great deal of capacity operation is now under way.
 The underwear makers and dealers, who seem to be making nine-tenths of the noise at this convention, howled reprcachfully at the public again Wednesday. It is officially an nounced that at least 50 per cent Of the underwear sent to laundries Is torn or full of holes, which, the un- derwear people declare, Is call for new underwear.
 They further aver that the new prosperity in the suit business is go- ing to be bad business for them. When the public wore suits which 1t could not be certain would last the day, 1t was careful to affect whole underwear, but with brand new guaranteed suits, according to these bemoanings, they won't care how II looks.

British Press Expects Action- Washington Awaits Developments

London, Jan, s-The easerness with which the British public Is keeping an ear to the ground to catch the fiFst whisper of possible action by Amer iea that may help to disperse the Eu- ropean clouds is eyineed today in the morning newspapers, all Of which prominently display dispatches from Washington and New York dealing with the attitude Of the Harding ad- ministration,
 There Is no question but that Am- erican cooperation in some shape Is earnestly desired here, There is, however. great restraint and little in- elination to speculate on course for the United States to take.
 The Daily Telegraph goes so far as to say;
 "The likelihood of American diplo- matic intervention has now hardened into a practical certainty. The form it may take Is not to be anticipated. but there is at least possibility that it will provide way out Of the situ- ation."

 The administrators position on the proposal was regarded as having been indicated by the statement made at the White House yesterday that the question of representation on the reparations commission had ceased to be of pressing importance in view of the position in which the commission apparently has been placed by the rupture at Paris over the separations problem.
