 The second show was organized recently by the Moscow Clothes Trust in the workers club of the Triangle Textile Factory. Scarcely a trace of the former fantasies remained. Ridicule both at home and abroad partly was responsible for the change. Even more effec- tive was the fact that nobody would consent to wear the crazy connections. S
 In preparing the current show the clothes trust announced that it wished to display only practical garments. While Moscow is un- der no obligation to follow Paris styles, it pointed out, 1t doe snot mean that garments need be anti. Paris.
 As a result, the clothes finally placed on view were simple models of the European type, evidently based on the foreign fashion jour nals, though clearly a year or two behind Paris. There was scarcely any garment which could not De worn on the streets of London or New York without attracting at tention. .
 Thousands of workers from the needle trades came to the show to judge the exhibits. The trust an nounced that the votes cast by the workers, indicating the gar. ments that pleased them, would determine the choice of models for the next season.

 Blll Reviewed
 His Prospects
 Bill reviewed his prospects. He was just one week out of college and had a sound mind in a healthy body, but that was about all. He had gone through school on an in- surance fund left to him by his parents and now he had nothing. He had to get a job.
 Concentrating on his problem, Bill walked three miles along the country road and then sat down in the shade of an elm to smoke. As he sat there smoking and scowling, his fate came up the road.
 BilFs fate took the form of an old mana funny looking old man who, when he came abreast of him,
 The old man had a tWinkling blue eye, skin like seasoned leather and he smelt of fish. He wore faded overalls and over one shoul- der he carried fat gunnysack.

 "Clams."
 "Where'd you get 'em?''

 That's your profession? ?" Bill asked politely. You're a clam dig ger?"

FORBES ADDRESSES
 BOSTON MEETING
N. Y. U. Prof. Claims COn= structive Economy in
 Government Needed
(special to The Democrat)

Boston, Nov 24-Declaring that what is most needed at the pres ent moment is constructive econ omy in government E economy which makes the tax dollar go farther while safeguarding the es-- sential. public services, Russell Forbes, professor of government, New York university, urged the adoption of centralized purchasing. as a means of reduving govern ment costs, in speaking today at the community development ana taxation session of the ninth New
 England conference, held under
 the auspices -of. the New England
 council. f5 gJs. .r3s
 Experience shows that central
 ized purchasing will reduce the
 cost of supplies, material and
 equipment from ten-to fifteen per
 cent" the speaker declared. Tt
 is a helping hand in the present
 impasse in government finance, for,
 every dollar which can be cut from
 supply costs can be spent for edu-.
 cational purposes, for public works
 construction, for public welfare.
 Viewed in this light, centralized
 purchasing becomes a matter or vl- tai concern to the taxpayer.
 That centralized purchasing practices are as successful for gov ernments as for private business
 has been proved by the experience of 40 state governments, more than 100 counties and more than 25o cities in the United States. Pro1 Forbes said. On Jan l, 1854. an office of procurement will be set up in Washington to purchase supplies and equipment for all domestic and field services of the federai government, he added. "If government were competi- tive business, confronted with the necessity of furnishing better product at a lower price, instead of being non-competitive with power to tax for whatever is need ed, our public corporations would be compelled to practice this eco nomicai, efficient method Of pur- chasing,,' the speaked declared. "In a normal year, all governments in the United, States spend over a billion dollars for supplies, ma terials and equipment. If to or fif- teen per cent can be saved, as has been proved, by the buying cen- trally, it is illogical to shut our eyes to the economies merely because some groups may be adversely
 affected"

dory for five dollars if you'll caulk it."
 Bill bought the rowboat. re- paired it. and procured a heavy, two-handled clamming rake.
 During the first week that he used the boat and the big rake he doubled his catch and his income: For the first time he considered going in for .clamming in serious way.
 Then old Ned gave him another tip. "You pay too much for board, Bill" he allowed. T know where YOU can get a cottage on the neck for next to nothin' and raise gar den and some chicks"
 Bill rented the cottage, made the place livable, put in a small garden and bought some hens. Soon, as old Ned had predicted, his living expenses were reduced to almost nothing at all. He was even able to save money.
 He worked very hard. All that Summer he toiled like a Trojan, but he enjoyed it. His muscles hardened under the constant exer- else in the open air and he felt grand every minute.
 Old Ned Gave Bill
 Some More Advice
 Then late h August, old Ned gave him another piece of advice. "The best part of the clammin' sea- son is about over, youn 'un," he said, "and if was you I'd go and have a talk with Jed Willetts."
 "Who's Jed Willetts?"
 "Jed's an old friend of mine." Ned explained, land he's the big gest oyster man in these parts.

THINGS THAT IRRITATE {:

I could be sad over past things, could be blue every day; But I've learned to look for the glad things. And to put all the old things away. I could sit counting my troubles, And nope on the joys that are past And claim that Life's treasures are bubbles, That only the bad things will last The Futures the part of the story, That waits on each day to be read; Let Hope guide you on to new glory, Forgetting the joys that are dead. So live in the future my sweetheart; There is beauty and joy by the way, Your past life is dead; start another, And letit begin from TODAY.
