High Pay Financially Sound

When credit men come to under
stand this clearly, they will rightfully
insist, as matter of financial sound
ness, that wages must continually be
raised as better and better methods
increase production; and they will call
a halt on the credit of employers
whose wages are dangerously low"
On unemployment, the paper said:
Unemployment can no longer be
tolerated, nor wasteful employment
Business must more and more be ap-
preached in terms of employment, of
organizing the employment of work
ers no longer needed in the perform
ance of other duties in the most scien-
tifc production and distribution of
things it was never possible for the
masses to have before"

The paper further said:

'They (credit men) must see that
the wage problem is not a mere pro-
duction problem, nor a mere problem
of maintaining pleasant human rela-
tions in the factory.
1T is also problem of maintaining
business, of maintaining employment,
of maintaining the ability of pro-
ducers to sell increasing quantities of
goods and thus of insuring greater
and greater profits.

Man Declares Employers

Boston (ILNS)-Higher wages and
shorter work periods were strongly
urged, denial of credit to low wage
employers advised and unemployment
denounced in a paper by Edward A.
Filene, Boston department store
owner, read before the convention of
the National Association of Credit
Men here. Filene is now in Europe.
The problem of financing increased
production of commodities cannot be
solved by any concerted effort in the
direction of less production, said
Filene in his paper, continuing:
1T (the problem of consumption
must be solved through production
for the masses on a scale which we
have never known. 1t must be solved
partly through lower and lower
prices, enabling more and more buy
ing. 1t must be solved partly through
higher and higher wages, providing
more and more buying power. And it
must be solved partly through a
shorter and shorter work period, pro-
viding more leisure for the masses,
more time in which to buy and use
the things which we have now learned
how to make so abundantly."

SEWARD VISITOR HAs
 DONE MUCH TRAVELLING

Kathryn L. Galen, 8 travelling ], representative for the New York 1 Life Insurance Company in Alas ka, arrived in Seward on the SS Northwestern and is guest at the Seward Hotel.
 Since her last trip to Seward, she made an eight-months' trip taking in the Hawaiian and Phil ippine groups of islands, Japan, China, Australia, both the north and south islands of New Zealand, and cruising over a month in the South Seas, visiting in Fiji, Samoa. and Tonga.
 On her return trip she motored around the Island of Java, visiting the orld-famed Borobudur Tenn pie; thence on to the Island of Bali which is supposed to be the Queen oE the Pacific; then north into Indo-China where she saw the old Ruins de Angkor.
 Mrs. Galen wishes to advise the public that after January l, 1882, the disability and double indemnity features of the insurance now in force will be absolutely discontin- ued, consequently if any one de- sires insurance with these priv ileges it is compulsory that same be applied for prior to that date.

What's in Fashion?
Decorative. But Useful PiILOlUs
- Directed by AMOS PARRISH

NEW YORK. April S0.-1t
isn't often that you find as
small an object that can COM
bine as much decoration and
comfort as one of today's fash
ionable pillows.
Fashionable pillows are small.
Twelve inches square is one Of
the favorite sizes. But they've
come to be considered almost as
as an art object, so closely do
they tie up with the rooms deco
decorative scheme.
Patchwork pillows-either all
over patchwork or a patchwork
motif in the center of plain ma
terial-are fashionable, especi-
ally in Early American rooms.
Appliqued pillows are fash
ionable. So are quilted ones
and combinations of colors laid
on in strips, such as is sketched
at the right (neXt to LAST.
But the general idea is SIM
plicity. The interest should be
in the design Of the material or
or the design of the making
but not in both at once.
For boudoir pillows, nothing
is smarter than plain colored
taffeta or MORE. And little bun
dies Of these, tied together with
Q colored ribbon, make charm
ing gifts.
Lingerie Covers
Lots of people find that a real
baby pillow covered in color,
with a sheer lingerie cover over
all, Is one of the incest bed or
chaise lounge decorations there
is. And they're not only dec.
orative. Tucked into the hollow
Of the back, two or three or
more make sleeping twice as
comfortable.
Not a pillow, Of course, but
serving somewhat the same
purpose, is the decorative chair
seat that's in fashion. They're
padded enough to make the
chair comfortable, but not
enough to look fat. Chintzes in
floral or scenic patterns edged
with cords or ball frinze look
fine on hard-Seated Provincial
type chairs.
And so do the hooked chair
seats that copy in miniature the
old hooked rug designs.

Men Marked
In Fashion
Census
Snappy Spring Day Brings
Out Stylish Topcoats;
Gray SingIe-Breasted Suits
Are Popular

Men passed in review today
for the fashion reporters Of
The Washington Times-S,784
Of them. Reporters on down
town corners checked men for
every important point Of their
dress, as part Of the nation
wide census taken by The Times
In conjunction with other news
papers all over the United
States, under the direction Of
Amos Parrish.
It was a good day for topcoats,
as the sharp wind made it
necessary for nearly every man
to wear one. And here is
what well-dreSSed Washington
chooses:
Single-breaSted topcoatS were
worn by 80 per cent Of all the
men checked, and practically
all of those were the button
through type, with only a few
fly fronts appearing. Double
breasted topcoatS were worn by
quite q few men, too, but the
percentage was small in COM
parison to single-breasteds. Gray
was by far the leading shade,
with tan next, though far be-
hind, and blue and brown fol-
lowing.
SingIe-Breasted Suits Lead
Suits were checked in hotel
1obbieS as well as on the street,
and here, also, we find single
breasted types prevailing. The
Single-breasted suit, with notched
lapel, ran to about IS per cent,
and, next, though only about
IL per cent, were single-breasted
suits with peaked lapel. Then
came double-breaSted suits and
then three but ton, single
breasted suits. AS to color, the
grayS took the lead again, with
almost so per cent. Then came
navy blue, with brown following.
Reporters eyes travelled down
even to the shoes, where they
found box toes leading with a
strong percentage of over eighty.
Wing tips came next, but were
weak in comparison, then plain
toes brought up the lead. Black
shoes were in the majority,
brown next, and tan third.
Snap Brims Popular
Hats were another interesting
item to check, and as we have
long reported, snap brims are
the choice of the Washington
ian, to the extent of 60 per cent.
Turned up brims made up the
other forty. Grays were again
far in the lead, with dark gray
just a bit more popular than
light gray, no doubt due to the
blustery day. Then came tan.
followed closely by brown. A
mere handful of men with the
green hat" were seen.
Soft Collars FavOriteS

were checked as carefully. Shirts
with soft collars attached proved
the favorites, though by a
close margin over those with
Starched collars, not attached.
A few of other types were seen.
White was most, with blue
next, and green and gray tying
for third place. Neckties made
rather a gay record, with pat
terms far in the lead, stripes
next, and plain colors only a
small 10 per cent. Blue was
the favorite color, with brown
and red contending for second
place, and green and gray fol-
lowing in order.

choose their clothes with care.
