All, FUR COATS HAVE
REAL COMPENSATION
Your Neighbor Can't Tell
How Much They Cost,
Say Experts.

How can a woman judge the
value of her neighbours new fur
coat?
There's no way" declared one
expert furrier. 'Oh, yes-one. Let
her keep her eye on that fur coat.
Time will tell. A good fur coat will
hold it's own; an inferior one-wen,
what's uglier than a worn, imita-
ton fur?"
Aside from the time test, only
years of experience in the handling
of furs would enable a woman to
size up her neighbours respondent

other neighbour: "Sealskin--her
coat? Huh Dyed rabbit
Snippy Fur
Furriers declare they gain a sort
of intuitive sense in fur knowledge
Perhaps the fact that, as some one
says, furs have personality, may ac-
count for this, Haven't you ever
owned a fur piece that you simply
despised and kept on wearing just
because you had to get your moneys
worth of wear out of it?' Very
likely, the animal that grew that
fur was a snippy thing that wouldn't
speak to "Brer Rabbit" and
switched her elegant fur tall When-
ever she passed her fellow raccoons.
If milady insists upon passing
Judgment upon her neighbours fur
coat, there are a few points that
she may stow away in her memory
Good furs are thicker, fuller haired,
softer, than cheap ones That's
about all the knowledge that discus
sion with furriers will "get. over" to
the average person; it takes years
to know furs.
"In the old country I worked four
years at so cents a week, just to
get foundation knowledge" re-
marked William Marks, furrier at

Tricks of Trade

Tricks of Trade
The confident declaration that two
muskrat skins lying on the counter
were a perfect match brought a
laugh from one furrier. He held
the skins level with the eye. Guard
hairs" on one were twice as long as
on the other, and the furrier saw
half "A dozen other differences.

taupe fox may be sporting number
less long badger hairs, stuck on
with glue.
But milady or her neighbor need
take no chances on these limitations.
If she goes to reliable merchant,
he'll frankly tell her that the mink

Business Bureaus expect the infor-

No Skin Game
1.-THE fur business used to be a
skin game indeed" remarked Max
Dessau, manager at Selig's. But
now no business is more affected by
the truth in advertising movement,
than the legitimate fur trade of to-
day"
The most expensive fur coat on
record, was that of Mrs. William
Corey (nee Mabel Gilman wife of
the steel magnate. This coat was
sable and cost $4,000. A number
of Indianapolis women have fur
coats, which while mere trifies beside
Mrs. CoreY's famous wrap, would
vet purchase a small house and lot,
with place for the f1ivYer.
But the women who buy such
coats, must depend upon the knowl-
edge and reliability of her furrier.
She can't trust her own eyes. "Furs
are harder to Judge than diamonds, p"
one furrier remarked.
SO when you see your neighbor in
a new fur coat, it may be a genuine
seal-and 1t may not be.

700 DRY AGENTS
 WILL LOSE JOBS
Reorganization Of Prohibition
 Bureau SlaSheS Staff
FURTHER CUTS POSSIBLE
State Directors May Be Required to Operate With Smaller Forces 22 Zones to Be Established Au- gust l..

Washington, June 29--A sweeping reduction in the mobile prohibition forces and the dropping of 400 per- sons from the Washington prohibi- ton Headquarters personnel is planned under the newly ordered decentralization program of the treasury department.
 The field endorsements, which will be under 22 administrators through out the country. will employ two hundred general agents, instead of the 900 now on the rolls.
 Whether the 200 men will be se- lected from the present force or made up entirely of new men has not been decided. although the more efficient of those now employed will be absorbed into the new mobile staff. These men will operate out of the administrators headquarters as Investigators, on big cases, and E. C. Yellowley, chief of general agents, probably will supervise their operations from Washington.
 How the reorganization will affect the 1000 prohibition agents now operating under state directors is yet to develop but inasmuch as they have been handling small basis which officials expect now to leave largely to state and local enforce ment agencies, it is believed this staff also will be materially reduced.
 The cut of approximately two- thirds in the Washington force will be felt most severely In the three important divisions-law, permit and industrial alcohol-where some section heads as well as clerks and other employees are 10 be dropped. The work of these divisions. after August 1. will be administered by the new zone chiefs.
 Few of the central office employees are expected to be transferred to the new field administrators staffs since priority for such positions will be given the large number of field em- ployes to be dropped in the abol- ishment of 46 of the 70 field offices
