NEW ERA0F
CASH SALES
HURT STORES
Oxford Tradesmen Long For
Return of Charge Accounts
of College Students

Oxford. England, May l6.-OXford
t,adcsmen are gravely concerned
over the increasing tendency of un-
dergraduates to pay cash for their
purchases. The new fashion saves
the postage on the customary 80
monthly duns, but it means the loss
Of the eXtravagant custom of the
young Nerdant Greens of pfe-war
days, who ordered silk dressing
gowns by the half dozen IN the
serene belief that bills due three
years hence are really no proper
bills at all.
Trades men are discovering that the
man who buys for cash buys care
fully and stints the more exotic
cravings of his fancy. Worse still,
they are discovering that he prefers
to do his buying in London, where
shopping excursion is very deslr-
able excuse for restful afternoon
in one of the music halls. London
compel titidn is far ftom pleasing,
for it was long ago settled that Ok
ford prices should be set well above
those Of the metropolis during term
time. to carry over the lean vacation
when streets are deserted and trades
men recline against their sturdy oak
counters in sad and wistful boredom.
The increase in cash purchases is
indicative Of shifting of social
standards. Fewer undergraduates arc
now the sons of choleric and unbusl-
nesslike old country gentlemen with
gout and ancient lineage; more and
more are coming up to the universi-
ty from the very recently acquired
country seats Of moneyed men OF
business who are better judges of ac-
counts than of horses and MADEIRA.
In the university as elsewhere the
going credit system based on
the unimpc achable honesty, solvency
and respectability of the settled
country families is giving way to
the rule Of ready cash.

Kohester, Mich, May l5.-There
are some things in this world that
even check for STAG, 100000 cant
buy.
Mrs. John +. Dodge, one of the
worlds wealthiest women and reci-
picnt OF half of the huge check paid
for the Dodge Motor plant by New
York bankers, has found this to be
true
Situated in the center Of her beau
tiful 2l00-acrc estate, three miles
southwest of here, is the 22O-acre
farm of Thomas Barnett
While tiny in comparison with
the vast holdings of the wealthy
widow, Barnett's land has many nat
ural advantagcs-a beautiful wooded
hill which is an ideal site for IA big
country home, babbling brook that
poets might write about and green
pa sturcs that could be turned INTO

Mrs. Dodge has bought several ad-
jacent farms, offering the. farmers
higher prices than they ever expect
cd to get All quickly accepted.
BARNETT REFUSES TO SELL
But Mrs. Dodge, with all her mil
lions. so far has failed to induce
Barnett to sell his home. At first.
Il much higher price than the land
was worth was offered. But the
aged farmer. now in his S2nd year
promptly refused it,

AS you go back up the stairs per

all the shootin's for. He ascertains
that one or both of the combatants
have been badly insulted and there is
no redress save that of physical action.

less for Otis to initiate his enemy's
