DRESS EMANCIPATION

| The beginning of an emancipation
from tyranny, which, from its con
tinuance for long series of years
without challenge, had acquired al
most a prescriptive right, was an
nounced at the convention Of the AS
ISOLATED Dress Industries Of Amer
lea, held at Atlantic City. A former
chief OF the bureau of foreign and do
nestle commerce, who Is now man
ager Of the marketing division Of a
large corporation in New York, made
the somewhat startling assertion that
the American public no longer obse-
quiously accepts the overlordship OF
Paris in creation of styles.
From the situation here revealed
there Is needed but one step forward
to achieve absolute American free
dom in the art of dress design That
that freedom ought to exist in a coun-
try with $500, 100000 dress indus
try, which is yet only in its infancy,
goes without saying. A survey re-
Gently made shows that the industry
is becoming less seasonal in charac-
ter and that large economies in pro-
duction are therefore possible. There
Is also evident growing disposition
on the part of women throughout the
country to- accept American ready.
made dresses.
While the dress industry in the
United States Is carried on on a
grand scale, 1t has hitherto been on a
rather precarious footing, caused by
the rapid change In styles, whereby
the life of particular model Of gar
ment may be limited to five or six
weeks. This precariousness and un-
certainty naturally lead to hand.to-
mouth buying on the part OF retailers
and similar policy on the part OF
the manufacturer in the matter of
purchasing materials In their own
interest and for the sake OF national
thrift the producers of dresses and
dress material ought to set their faces
against those Kaleidoscope changes
Of style to which we have of late
grown accustomed.

THE ILLS OF ADENoIDs

Adenoids, an abnormal growth of
tissue back of the nose, up behind
the palate, or between the nose and
upper part Of the throat, occur most
commonly from the third to the thir-
teenth year. and are usually caused
by some form Of nose or throat trri-
tation. Some children seem more
susceptible than others, and the
growth is more apt to occur in fat
than In lean people.
Sometimes diseased tonsils may
cause adenoid growths - sometimes
distractions in the nose following in
juries or falls; but perhaps the most
common form of irritant is the PERM
cious habit of sucking the thumb or
other objects; and the 'pacifier"
should be condemned in the strongest
language, not only as the cause Of
adenoids, but from the sanitary point
OF view. They frequently cause Sc
we're sores in the mouth, called "stom-
atitis."
Misunderstanding, particularly when
the child is sleeping or lying down, is
the most prominent symptom Of ade-
noids: another symptom is frequent
and chronic colds in the head, called
"snuffles."
The complications resulting from
adenoids vary from minor fills to great
and lasting deformities. The adenoid
tissue obstructs the child's natural
breathing, interferes with the normal
development Of the lungs and chest,
and this in turn interferes with nor
NAL growth and development Of other
organs and parts of the body. Nor
NAL development Of the brain is also
retarded; the child develops vacant
expression; the formation of the face
.-isrnot symmetrical; high arched pal
ates may be formed, with resulting
deformities and distractions of the
nose, as well as irregular formation
of the teeth. Last but not least, the
child with adenoids is much more
susceptible to the contagious and in
fictitious diseases of childhood.
The only cure for adenoids is thor
ough removal. If diseased or enlarged
tonsils are left to act as an irritant,
new adenoids may develop.

'et COMMITTEE up.
a AS an economic problem the
present proposal to reduce taxes
can be readily understood. 1t is
ESTIMATED that taxes collected dur
ling the year 1925 upon the business
of the year 1924 will yield revenues
Gn excess of expenditures to the
extent of $332,000,000. This is the
margin within which tax reduce
lions may be made and this margin
will be reduced dollar for dollar
lin the proportion that expenditures
mot now contemplated by the Gov
ernment are authorized by Con-
Igress.
Compared with the total Of ex-
|penditures this margin is not large.
Guaged, however, by the benefits,
direct and indirect, which a reduc-
tion in taxes to that amount would
bring to more than 100000 tax
payers, it is an enormous sum. Re-
licf from payments to the Govern
Imcnt is but part OF the benefit
thus to be conferred. OF vastly
Igreatcr importance in the long run
would be the fulfillment OF Sec
|retary MELONS prediction that
basement in taxes will bring an in
Grease OF funds available for in
Ivcstmcnt in productive industries.
Such an outcome would mean not
only more income for persons en-
|ploycd but reduction in the costs
of the necessities OF life upon
which those incomes are expended

The approach to nor National DUO
NAL conditions has not been OPEN
ed without a considerable effort,
however, and it will be we'll for a
citizenry, encouraged by Secretary
Melons statement, to keep this
in mind. The surplus of receipts
over expenditures which has re-
suited at the close of each year
since the war ended, was made
possible only by a program Of
economy in the conduct of public
business. This program received
definition in and an impulse from
a new budgetary system which be-
came operative in 1921. Admins
!. trative requirements were reduced
to minimum and constant pres
sure was exerted to anticipate ten
denotes on the part of Congress to
return to the former system of i'll
considered, extravagant appropria-
tons. A revolutionary change in
the attitude of administrative de-
partments toward the expenditure
of the public moneys was affected
and Congress, on the whole, was
diligent in cooperation. Mr.. Mel
Ions recommendations are based
upon the assumption that this at
titude on tn: part Of the executive
and legislat We branches will con-
tinue.
The issue between this new
method of conducting public af-
fairs and the old system is now
laid before the people for their
