came from Hollywood, and
men wear both belt and braces.
Then there's a Upper belt.
Instead of fastening with a

Manufacturers really hope to

this year, and, as an induce

which have six times the
stretch of the old garter. That
means they will be lots more

AS to the construction of
braces, there are new details,
such as the clip-fastener, that
recommend them. Clips are
useful for bachelors who might
have buttons off, and they are
practical for anybody, for no
matter if the buttons are in
the wrong place, you can clip
your braces on wherever they are
most comfortable. They are
called "streamlox."
The elastic used is improved,
too. more American and not
so French, whatever that may
mean. And in appearance, sus-
penders are revolutionized.

DAILY SHORT STORY .---------.' NO BRAINS!
Jake and Sam Deemed Themselves Very Bright Citizens Until That Federal Agent Came Along
BY JOHN BOYLAN

Jake Gutzen raised his head a full eight inches from the porter house and French-fried which had been holding his undivided atten- ton for several minutes so that he could look at his brother Sam sit- ting opposite.
 "This joint sure dishes up swell steak" he grunted.
 "Uh-huh," mouthed Sam be- tween gulps of food without look ing up. Apparently Jake expected no answer, for he had again fallen upon the ample repast before him. Even the most casual observer waould know the two for kinsmen. Their bodies were short but power ful: the back of each nearly span ned the width of the good-sized table. When either raised his head to get nasty mouthful of coffee an enormous roll of fat bulged across a thick neck at the base of an enormous skull. Their full lips drooped,a did flabby cheeks.which with broad, black brows, nearly ob- scured their beady. shifting eyes.
 Sam finished eating first, straight ened and pushed his platter away with a heavy sigh. "Waiter" he believed.
 The startled food carrier had been leaning abstractedly against an adjoining table. He jerked to consciousness, dropping the pad at which he had Leen staring vacant ly. He scrambled to retrieve 1t, then trotted to the side of the scowling Sam.
 "what kind of pie you got?" growled Sam.
 The waiter was still breathless. why a--a-pineapple." he gasped.
 Jake looked up. ''1s that some- thing to eat?" he chuckled deep in his throat.
 Sam ignored this thrust at humor. Well, what else?"
 The waiter had caught his breath by now. He rattle6 off: Cherry, lemon. pumpkin. blackberry. ap- ple-"
 "Apple!" snapped Sam. "A big cut, with ice cream"
 "Me, too," grunted Jake.
 "Yes, sir. Right away, sir.'
 Sam jerked his head at the re- form. "No brains," he said.
 Jake nodded.

Sorry to disturb you boys, but the commissioner wants to talk to you," he drawled.
 Jake stared co1dly at the in- truder. You must be new on the force, bud. We ain't vagrants. We're in the contracting business"
 Business good? ?" queried the of fcer. smiling.
 ''I'll gay it is," broke in Sam ner- vously. '.Twenty-five Gs clear prof. 1t last year. And we got the dope in our books to show where every dollar came from.
 The cop seemed skeptical. And just where are those books?"
 ''In a safe at my house," exult- ed Sam.
 The newcomer was no longer smiling now.
 That's just what I wanted to know" he said with just a trace of mockery fiavoring his drawl.

Chemical Prices
Drop During Week

Further weakness developed in
prices of heavy and fine chemi-
Gals as result of slackened buy
ing last week, according to the
Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter.
Consumers were cautious in their
takings and there was a slump in
buying for the textile industry.
Shipments to the automobile in
dustry continued large.
A reduction in the price of
muriate of,tpOtRsh was the out
standing feature. Tin Chemicals
were slightly lower, rejecting a
change in the price of the metal.
Casein. elemi gum, menthol, and
organic fertilizer materials also
were lower. Arsenates prices were
firmer. Spot stocks Of toluene
we're exhausted. Imported tar
taric acid, guaiacol carbonate,
Manial gum, and vandyke brown
were quoted higher.
In comparison with average
prices in 1926 Gas 1000, the Re
porter's index number is now 90.5

GAINS SMALLER |
FOR HARDWARE

April hardware sales maintained
good gains over 1888, but with a
moderate percentage of increase
than during any month Of the
first quarter. This trend was ex.
pected, for the comparable months
of 1888 began showing their up
turn in April, according to Hard
ware Age.
The percentage gains in net
wholesale hardware sales by Fed
eral Reserve Districts, for the
first quarter of 1884, as compared
to the same period Of last year
were as follows: San Francisco,
plus 61.4; Dallas, plus 69.8; Min
neapolis, plus 800; st. Louis, plus
51.0; Chicago, plus 82.9; Kansas
City, plus $40; Atlanta, plus 61.3;
Richmond, plus 682; Cleveland,
plus COL; New York, plus 22.7 and
Philadelphia, plus 800.
Retailers in many localities have
found their selling handicapped
by unfavorable weather, which de-
layed the movement of garden
tools, paints, and similar staples.
Consumer price resistance is be-
coming noticeable to the retailers
on lines which have shown the
sharpest rise in costs. Perhaps
the caution is again needed, which
President Roosevelt sounded at
the initiation of the NRA-that
prices be raised only enough to
cover actual increases in cost
under the new program-With due
regard to the economies of en-
larged demand and production.
The wholesale trade has turned
quieter, despite a fair volume Of
fill-in orders, and a still satisfac-
tory total of future sales.
Despite the continued well-being
Of the agricultural population, the
picture in those areas has been
somewhat changed in the last few
weeks by the sharp price declines
in wheat and other grains and in
cotton. The index of prices re-
ceived by farmers declined two
points during the month ended
April is, while there was no drop
in the index of prices they were
having to pay for supplies.

NEW YORK, May 10 GN.S0.
The market just can't seem to
take it. Lower prices were the
rule yesterday and the improve
ment of the day before was
pretty we'll washed away. In
addition to the regulation bill,
Wall Street has the uncertainty
of what's going to be done about
silver.
We understand Dupont is
spending $1O,OOo,Ooo to re-
habilitate some of its plants.
The company, it is said, orig
inally planned to spend more
than twice this sum out OF the
$100.000,000 cash in it's treasury,
but decided to play safe.
Intelligent buying is reported
in the market, with prominent
names mentioned for the first
time in ages. Sugar shares are
winning friends as possible
leaders on the next upward move.
A broad distribution move is
suspected in Canadian gold
shares. The Unexpectedly big
dividend on Dome Mines, with
Mcintyre expected to follow suit,
is merely enhancing the suspicion.
The big accumulation in Dome
and others took place at half
current levels, so that the profits
are tremendous.
The Government is going to
send out checks in the next few
weeks for hundreds of millions
on the, corn-hog program to

Steel output this quarter will
