COMMODITY CHANCES
 TO TRADE SECURITIES

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Wide- . spread public participation in se- curity trading appears to have induced commodity exchanges to plan trading in securities as well as in cotton, coffee, sugar and other products.
 Dealing in these and other com modities has felt the change in public attitude.
 Proposal of the New York cot ton exchange to establish trading in cotton mill securities is said to have received widespread ap- proval in the textile sections of New England and the South
 Yields on many mill stocks are said to be high as compared with the majority of listed issues-and big yields always are an attraction for investors.

The plan also would benefit the mills by establishing an open mar ket for their securities. The past few years have been far from bright in the cotton textile indus try and lack of capital has been blamed for some difficulties.
 Mills have been dependent large ly upon bankers for their financ- ing, and loans have been costly. With market for cotton mill se- curities, however, it is believed they could do much of their own financing and be able to dispose of their securities for this purpose when and as needed.
 Somewhat similar ideas have led the New York coffee and sugar exchange to consider a plan for establishing market in sugar company securities.

MINORITY PARTY IS

Says Democrats Function Only Six Months During
 Every Four Years

NEW YORK, Jan. 17-Former Gov. Alfred E. Smith appealed to the rank and file of the Demo cratic Party last night over a ma. tion-wide radio broadcast to help raise $1.500,000 deficit that stands as an aftermath of the campaign. He announced that his contribution will be the gift of his campaign speeches for which he said, several offers have been made from pub fishers.
 Needs Publicity
 In making his appeal for the funds, he backed the recent asser- tions of Gov. Franklin D. Roose- welt that the Democratic Party needs ore consistent national publicity between campaigns de- claring that immediately follow ing every election there is always an apparent general lack of inter est in the welfare of our party. It has been tha habit, nf4 the Democratic Party to function only six months every four years"
 Be Progressive
 The former goverfior and Demo cratic candidate for President, urged the Democratic party to be progressive. militant, and pointed out the need of a minority party under the system of government in the United States, saying:
 Is Great Factor
 'sThe dark chapter of American history from 1921 to 1924 are an indication what can take place in the government of our country in the absence of an active, minority party. Were it not for the vigi- lance of the Democrats and Pro gressives in Congress, the whole shameful story of oil leases might never have been told. A political party that polls nearly 16,000.0 900 votes should be tremendous fac tor in the politics of the country. !"

YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal Of the American Medical Association and of Hyseia,
 fln Health NJ an,ll zinc

the Health Magazine.
 With the first day of June, the average person begins to think about the disposal of his time during the summer vacation.
 Long ago the biblical philosophers emphasized the value of d regular day of rest. More recently the com ins Of the hve-day week, high wages and the ,ntroduction of machinery into industry have made a regular two days rest each week possible for many people and vacations, particu- Early for executives, have been ionethcncd 10 three weeks or month.
 Much depends on the tempera- m"nt ol the person concerned. Peo- pln who take the duties and actiyi- lCs ot life lightly need less vacation than those who work constantly Nitr concentration and an overwhelming sense of their responsibilities.
 Tho average man thinks cf his NHc"'i0n as a time in which he is going 10 do a great deal more in lh" Nay of playing ot d certain type than he does ordinarily during his laIE life. A man who plays lS holes Of Golt twice Il week may play 3G holes each day for seven days. The man Nho goes touring on sunday afternoon takes a trip lasting week and drives 400 miles each day
 Obviously this is not the way to tak" a proper vacation. One should not work at playing when he is try Ing Q rest from work. It is just IS important 10 avoid overfutigue Whil" resting as it is while working.
 Many H man hopes for the day "h'n Uc may take vacation alone. Year after year he embarks for the mountains or the seaside acComp@n- ;"j hy his wife and child'on and the servants, and merely adds new re- aponsiHlrios to the old cncs.
 II IS a smart wife who realizes that such 2 vacation is not rest for her husband.

 Whats eating Phil?" she asked. when a little later she had come into the room and closed the door. "Of course, l know" she hastily amended. He caught that stitied 1 No" of Olina's on the hy-pity he wouldn't get a bit deaf he's old enough-and he wants to know what it's all about But where do you come in2 I saw him ladling out mixture of frowns and smiles in your direction, and l knew he must be on the warpath for some thing or other"
 He is" I told her, and recited my employers request and my plan for granting it.
 Lillian steps In
 That's easy" she said. "The first time I'm dummy I'll grab you and Phil by either arm and under some pretense or other lead you back to this apartment-lucky we've planned to play bridge in ours-and then I'll beat it back again. leaving you to deal with the old bird. How's that for a plan 9"
 Its splendid l told her. but my tone betrayed the worry that was mine and she cIapped me on the shoulder oncouragingly.
 T know what you're up against, old dear. Phil Neritzcn is about as easy 10 manage as temperament tai leCpard when he is annoyed about anything. But I'm banking on you. If anybody can calm him down you'll be the lady And see what chance you'll have to enlarge upon the capriciousness and jealousy Of Mary which Olna is displaying. while assuring the old lad that Noel never has cast even lambs eye in Mary's direction"
 Any casting director would give me the role of Sapphira by the time l get through with this tan gle" I said dolorously, but Lillian only laughed.
 You can't make an omelet-fn- ish it yourself" she adjured, and then We went back to the living room, where Harry Underwood was vcciferously demanding when the promised bridge game was 10 begin He is an enthusiast over the game but I knew that his insistence at this time was based upon his de sire to lessen the nerve tension Of both Prince Georges and Princess Olina.
 Under his management it was hu: a few minutes before the tables were ready in the Underwood apartment.
 I saw Diclly arch his eyebrows when MT. Neritzen excused himself from playing, but he took the va cant place with alacrity. However I was conscious of his scrutiny when Lillian, with Mir Ncritzen and me on either side of her, went out of the apartment and I wondered seriously just what his reaction would be when Lillian should re- turn alone.

Paris, July G-At the end of each which of the various styles offered have been adopted by women.
 This year, the tailored dress and suit plays a leading role in every fashionable gathering and seldom has any one fashion feature been taken up with such enthusiasm by every women.
 The influence of hle "tailleur' can be felt and is made apparent iii the most varied of Suises. Outside of the reguIa" suit, that made Of serge or suiting, the idea has spread to what used to be known as the sports dress and these are now quite tailored in cut and appearance.
 Feature Lingerie Touch
 This clear-cut look of the new dresses is achieved in various ways. First, the addition of belt of some sort gives them tWo-pieCe effect. Secondly. they feature some lingerie touch, generally in the shape of t wide vest in lingerie which at first sight looks very much like the usual blouse worn with the tailleur. Third : ly, the short pa "ket which almost invariably panies the dress completes the illusion of the suit. I can safely say, therefore, that the sports dress is nothing more nor less than a very supple tailored costume
 I am not surprised at the popu- larity of this type of dress. Light ness and suppleness are two quail ties executed by modern woman in all her clothes and especially in summer clothes. All fashions are subject to qualifications, due i'll the first place to certain desires express ed by woman.
 Cool and DresSy
 The "tailleur" has by no means escaped this ruling and that is why we now see such a number of crepe de chine suits worn at resorts. It combines the quality of coolness with the necessary dressy look de- manded of such clothes.
 Even the plain little beach frocks are showing signs of the rage for tailored effects. l have shown some trocks simply decorated with lingerie work in the form of wide tucks and draWnthrcad work, but distinctly feminine in coloring and cut that have proved immensely popular.
