MODERNBR|T|SH
BOY N|F TY ON
CLOTHES
Tailors> Find Pupils More Up
to-Date Than Their
Parents.
BY CHARLES A. SMITH,
international News Service.

LONDON, Jan. 26.-In sartorial
elegance the next generation or
schoolboys is likely to be one or
Beau Brummels, Beau Nashes and
Count D'Orsays, if the opinions of
London's leading tailors and boys
0utfitters are any guide.
At one time the unwilling school
boy was dragged by his parents to
the tailors and nade-up suit from
stock was selected. With luck 1t
fitted; IL it did not, no one worried
much.
But the old order changeth. Now.
adays it is the schoolboy who takes
his parents to the outfitters and SUI
perintends the ordering and meas
uring-but not the paying-with q
precocious exactitude.
Modern tailors say they find that
In many cases the up-to-date school
boy is more exacting than his father.
He insists that his jacket and pants
should be- cut in the latest style, and
the old idea of leaving plenty of
room for growing il dead and buried.
The Outfitter, the leading tailors'
organ, thinks that this fastidiousness
on the part OF modern youth is all to
the good. A boy who is able to
decide for himself on such matters
at an early age should" thinks the
Outfitter, "be able before long to de-
eide what is correct when graphing
with the bigger problems OF life"

PREMIER LAW IS
SANTA CLAUS
To DUKES
Finds Places in Ministry for
NobIemen Reduced to Poverty
by Lloyd George.
BY F. A. WRAY.
Cosmopolitan News Service.


LONDON. Jan. 26.-The move
ment for the reclamation of the
poor dukes of old England has be-
gun. Bonar Law is saving them
by making them members of the
ministry.
Imagine the plight of these poor
noblemen. Their incomes, averaging
about a million dollars annually ten
years ago, have been sadly depleted.
War taxation, coupled with Lloyd
George land duties, have brought
their incomes down to starving
point. Moreover, Lloyd George in.
vective has brought their standing
in popular esteem down to nothing.
Times have been hard for the
poor dukes. A generation ago they
were regarded as semiroyal. Com
mon, everyday people met them at
an angle Of forty-five degrees and
were ready to beggar their families
In order to make the ducal acQuaint-
ance.
Now all is changed. Lloyd George
began it by calling the poor dukes
the descendants Of thieves and rob-
bers, clustering barons," he term
ed them. Then he put heavy duties
on their estates.
They simply had to struggle along
and pay taxes.
The elimination came when the
bishop of Oxford communicated
the one-time great Duke Of MARI
borough on account of a theologi-
cal difference. After that dukes
were as w. s. Gilbert said, just
three a penny"
But the weather broke and a
hero came to their rescue. \ Bonar
Law, becoming prime minister, took
pity and gathered them under his
wing.
The Duke of Devonshire, noted
for his marvellous gift Of sleep, and
no longer in receipt Of his pay as
governor general of Canada, he
made secretary for the colonies
with $4,000 a year. The Duke of
Sutherland, who has sold his
Scottish estates to buy land in
post of undersecretary for air, and
a substantial salary to accom-
pany it.
OF the old nobility. even the les
ser fry has not been neglected. Lord
Derby has been made secretary for
war with an honorarium of $4,000.
The Marquis of Salisbury, as lord
president of the council, Lord
Novar, as secretary for Scotland,
all are equally well looked after.
Earl WintertDn becomes under.
secretary for ISdia, the Marquis Of
becomes lord Of the
Lord WoImer becomes
of the board of
trade, and the Earl OF Onslow, Sec
rotary OF the ministry of health.
In addition. six sons or peers are
given lucrative minor posts.
Not for a century has the Brit
ish peerage been cared for so well.
Ronar Law Is a tender-hearted
man.
But the only doubt is-l1ow long
the people of England will allow
them to keep these jobs.

STYLES DO NOT
IRk BRITISH
STATESMEN
Weird Sartorial Ensemble
Seems to Prove That
Clothes Don't Make Man.
BY DAVID M. CHURCH.
international News Service.

LONDON, Jan. 26.-"C1othes don't
make the man." runs the old adage,
and as one looks over the British
statesmen on the front benches OF
the House Of Commons and the
House of Lords the old proverh
seems to prove itself.
Just as the United States House
of Representatives and Senate are
q sartorial hodge-podge, so are the
British legislative chambers.
Lloyd George seems to dote on
thing about his clothes that de.
notes force-force that almost
breaks the buttons.
Laws Garb Varied.
Bonar Law has q wide choice Of
wardrobe. but he doesn't seem to
know where he Is; for his clothes,
though always neat, would never be
copied by the burlington Berties of
Monocle Row." He has no choice Of
hats. and, like Winston Churchill,
has q wide variety; sometimes he
wears q soft felt, sometimes a derby
and frequently q silk hat.
S.r Robert Horne is a bachelor,
and mayhap that is why he is the
best dressed man In Commons. His
clothes always fit, and he always
wears the right thing. You would
derby hat with a dinner jacket.
Lord Birkenhead, is one, of those
lucky persons who always look the
picture of fashion, no matter what
they wear. Lord Birkenhead can
wear a tweed suit into the dining
room of the Savoy Hotel and get
away with it, or he can show up for
q political conference in riding
breeches and yet cause no clamOr.
He wears his clothes SO well that he
ought to be in the movies"
Lord Salisbury has made the rag
Ian overcoat popular. He is the best.
dressed member of that historic Cecil
family and has good bit of what
the Britishers call "swank."
Fine Assortment.
Over on the Labor benches one
sees a wide variety Of habiliment.
J. H. Thomas affects the small black
tie that slips on over the collar but.
ton by patent process. J. r.
Clynes glories in pompadour hair
and waxed mustache, which detract
all attention from his clothes. Ben
Tillet, the most voluble Of all the La
borites, is reported to have been seen
wearing white spats-no, not in his
own constituency.
Lord Gladstone studies comfort,
and apparently his idea of comfort il
room.
The Earl OF Balfour always ap.
pears neat, but he hardly has what
might be called dash. He displays
more neck than a debutante, and
must have to muffle up well these
cold winter days. But he has been
wearing those frank, open-faced col
lars that lie low on the shoulder
blades for well over a century now.
Herbert Asquith wears his clothes
as though under the direction Of
Margot. There is no consistency
about his dress.
There are sartorial bright spots
here and there in the British legis-
lative chambers, but not enough to
start1e Beau Brummel.

Shower" out of grapefruit eat

ton Of the National Gamers

Holt declared that the people
of America spent $119,O14,32o
for canned fruit last year, and
that care should be taken in
attaining q standard as the
world would soon follow the
lead of this country.
