ed against the United States gov
eminent"
Rounsevell proposes that the rail-
road sell the greater part of the
land it holds in Colon, giving pref
erence to present leaseholders.
Profits in excess of the actual in
vestment of the railroad he sug-
gests should be used to construct
twenty three miles of highway link
ing east and west coasts of Panama.
This, he says, would at one stroke
settle numerous controversies, &C
complish a most needed highway

ploitation of foreign city, even to
the extent Of deriving large reve-
mes from its liquor traffic"

Poor Nell
The Cloak and Suit Boys
Amt Doing Right by
Her These Days.
BY II. ALLEN SMITH

United Press stan Correspondent
NEW YORK, July 23.-Nellie,
IN the beautiful cloak model,
practically is beside herself with
anguish these sweltering July
days, what with some 10000 buy
ers from the back country in town
TO pick out women's wear for the
fall and winter trade.
The display and sale Of cloth
ing is one Of New York's major
industries and the models who
serve in the hundreds of whole
sale garment houses ordinarily
have little to complain about.
But from July 20 to the last Of
August the going Is tough. The
buyers converge upon New York
from every state in the Union,
prepared to purchase their stock
of winter dresses, suits and coats.
NTHER girls may ambulate
~ around New York in chif-
fons, percales and pastel crepes,
but not the cloak models. All day
long they have to garb themselves
in skiing costumes, Snow-balling
jackets, fur coats. wooden dresses
and everything else that is heavy
and hot except hip boots.
A tour through the garment dis
trict which lies in the west
Thirties Of Manhattan. revealed
come pertinent facts about the in
dustry itself as veil as about the
lives the cloak models have to
lead.
For one thing, statistics have
been gotten up by Chamber Of
Commerce people to show that 10
per cent Of all the buds that are
worn by men, women and children
in the United States, are manu-
featured and sold right here on
the island Of Manhattan.
TINE buyers from the depart
Il ment stores of the nation
swarm into the city four times a
year and for them, or most of
them, 1T is pretty much of va
cation.
All Of the larger jobbing houses
in recent years have installed bars
in their buyers rooms. In for
mer days the cloak and-suiters
took the buyers to a good res
taurant for dinner and then to a
musical show. But now most of
the entertainment is provided
right in the place of business.
BUYERS are provided with
ID cocktails and highballS as
they sit and watch the fur
coated mannikins promenade the
halls. In most houses they are
permitted to wink at the models
and even carry on conversation
with them.
Needless to say, If a big-money
buyer comes in from Des Moines
and takes a liking to one of the
models, she is expected to be real
nice to him, and if he wants to
step out with her in the eve
ming. it is altogether ethical and
proper for her to protect her en-
ployer in the matter and look
after the entertainment of guests.
But, after all, you've go to pity
her when you see her wearing
an Admiral Byrd outfit with the
temperature standing at 90.
