A wild outburst of bullish enthusi-
asm in the stock market, which car
ried over two score issues up 1 to
nearly points above yesterdays
final quotations. brought to a dra-
matte close the biggest and most
spectacular year in Wall streets
history. Total sales again crossed
the two million mark, with the av-
erage Of 20 leading railroad issues
elevated to a new record high level
and the average of 20 leading in
dustrial shares advanced to within
half point of the record top touch
ed few days ago.
Spectators for the advance, taking
advantage of the widespread predie-
tions of business prosperity in 1925,
b. d up their favorites in spectacular
fashion, being aided by large VOL
ume of investment buying for the
high grade rails ana industrials.
Relatively stiff money rates and

SKIRT ECONOMY
(Verde Copper News)

The abbreviated skirts our women
are wearing have been the subject of
much fun poked by the hulmorists,
but it remained for the National Wool
Growers association to take the mat
ter seriously and to ask the president
and congress to 'eXhort" our fair sis
ters to use little more cloth in those
portions of their raiment that come
below the waist line. One might sup
pose that the matter was one of lit
tie interest, but the wool men declare
that there has been decrease OF
over a hundred million pounds in the
consumption of their product, attri-
butable solely to shortened skirts.
This is a new "slant" on the dress
question and the women of the nation
are to be congratulated on the fact
that they appear to have saved, at
the rate of dollar pound for man
ufactured cloth, a lot of money for
their hardworking husbands and faith
ers. If now, the men would shorten
up their trowsies and achieve some
decollette effects in the neighborhood
of the neck and wrists, we might
hope. in time, to pay off the national
debt by this simple and agreeable
process.
OF course, it is possible to push the
argument to extremes and if one went
to the absolutely logical conclusion
the growers of fig trees might enter
on an era of real prosperity.
