 The 'barong" Is a shirt-like gar ment. with a narrow neck-band and takes the place of both shirt and coat. Worn outside the belt of the trousers. 1t gives Americans the impression that the wearer had dressed hastily and neglected to tuck his shirt into his trousers.

! MILK PRICE DEPENDS
 ON WORLDS MARKETS
Expert Says Butter And Cheese
 Have Their Effects

SYRACUSE, Y. Y. Oct 13.-(By As sociated Press)-An international commission with the power to fix the retail price of milk and to control in some degree it's production was proposed to the Worlds Dairy con- gress today by pr. E. Laur, director of the, Swiss Rural union.
 The price of raw milk is strongly influenced by the prices of butter, cheese and condensed milk, Dr. Laur said. These are commodities of in- ternational commerce and conse duently the price of milk is influ- enced by the world markets. While the commerce in milk products is internationally organized, milk pro- ducers are not and as result the price of milk in many countries does not cover the cost of production, he declared.
 Urging an organization that would permit an active exchange of views on all that is of interest concerning the international marketing of milk, pr Laur called upon the congress to sponsor the foundation of commis sion.

that may continue for while
tomorrow, but do not be dismayed,
for what surer sign of spring Is
there than the familiar April
showers that freshen UP the lawns
and bring the flowers into exist
ence!
No more real cold weather Is
looked for by the weather bureau
forecasters. 1t may be a little
cool at times, but from all indica-
tions freezing temperature Is
thing of the past.
Fresh south and southwest winds
will lend their aid, together with
the mild temperature in casting
that provoking cold germ aside,
and so every day and in every way
we will be getting warmer and

Dozen More Arrests in Texas
on Fraud Charges Are
Expected.

BY the Associated Press.
FORT WORTH, Tex. April 8
Federal agents went forth today in
search of more oil promoters. The
ones they seek are accused by the
government of defrauding the in
vesting public out of millions. Six
teen arrests were made yesterday
afternoon and night. At least a
dozen more are expected today. Those
sought today are persons the feder-
al agents could not locate yesterday.
In each instance, the specific charge
is using the mails to defraud. The
fraud, according to the federal prose-
cutors, consisted in misrepresenting
oil prospects in order to attract in
vestment dollars.
Among those arrested yesterday
and released on bonds was S. E. j.
Cox, formerly of New York and Hous-
ton, and who was tried in federal
court at Houston in connection with
his general oil company operations.
Attorneys for DR.. Frederick Cook,
Arctic explorer informed United
States Marshal Eldredge this morn
ing that their client would appear at
the Federal building noon today and
furnish bond in whatever amount was
desired.
AS each promoter is brought into
federal headquarters, he is arranged
before a United States commissioner,
his bond set and his case referred to
the federal grand jury. Until yes
terday no charges had been filed, the
federal government being content to
investigate the operators without
making arrests.
