said was due to growing belief in Wall

NEW YORK. April 22.-Apparel de-
mand is less sensitive to the status Of
general prosperity than is that Of
many other lines OF business, such A
steel and other capital goods, accord.
ing to Poor's Industry and Investment
Surveys.
Nevertheless, during periods OF de-
preston less clothing is bought, and
since price becomes a very important
consideration, the trend turns from
quality merchandise to inexpensive
articles
Stocks Of many lines Of apparel in
hands OF retailers, WHOLESALERS and
manufacturers have been high" states
the survey. While prices have eased
and inventories are being worn down.
demand from the trade has been light,
with buying on a cautious. hand to.
mouth basis, pending definite indica.
tions that price stabilization has been
attained.
over the short and intermediate
term those manufacturers producing
the less expensive brands Of merchan-
disc are expected to fare better than
those relying upon quality and advsr-
tising. The silk hosiery division faces
a hong declining trend, owing to
the increasing competition from rayon
and mercerized materials. Further
more, the current agitation to boycott
silk goods because Of anti-Japanese
sentiment adds uncertainty to near
term prospects.
Apparel merchandisers face lower
earnings in 1888, since diminished pur-
chasing power Is affecting sales. While
cost Of goods sold has declined moder-
ately, expenses Of operation havs
mounted and are relatively lnfexible,
Furthermore, competition IL keen,
making 1t dificult for apparel retaiI-
ers to pass on to consumers, through
greater markup, their higher tax and
labor costs

BOUNDARY FIXING

Geographer Says.

~ tLE ASbOClot0 Ffe8S.
PHILADELPHIA. April 77.-presi-
dent Roosevelt's efforts to encourage
united Western Hemisphere against
possible advances from Asia and Eu-
rope brought forth . new suggestion
today from members of the American
Philosophical Society.
The society, at its annual general
meeting. heard and unonicially ap-
proved the suggestion Of DR.. g. Whit
tenmore Boegs. Washington State
geographer. that the boundaries OF
South American countries be definitely
fixed to avoid further disputes be.
tween them.
To date these boundaries have
caused many armed disturbances and
prolonged legal and economic troubles
DR.. Boggs said. He proposed that all
of these boundaries be definitely fixed
according to Astronomical observations
and ground surveys a. 4 step toward
permanent peace in the Pan-American
countries.
| Step Toward Peace.
President Roosevelt recently sus-
gested that closer economic co-opera-
ton between these countries, from
Canada to the Straits of Magellan,
would Be . long step toward peace and
understanding. Geographical under
standing was declared by some mem
bers Of the society to be just as i'm
portant. v,.,
As part Of q plan for tying the
Americas together in .. geographical
and economic unit DR.. Boggs recon-
mended adoption Of map Of South
and Central America as it has been
fixed by treaties, pspal bulls and arbi-
trations recorded IN Europe and the
New World and that a history of
Latin American boundaries be pre-
pared. with all Of the history of the 80
boundary controversies from the Rio
Grande River southwark included"
These might be combined with
aerial surveys and Astronomical reckon
ings to fix such boundaries permanent
ly and avoid one source of antagonisrn
between the various countries in the
future, he added.
Evolution Data Furnished.
A possible explanation OF how evolu-
ton occurs and produces occasional
freaks in animals, plants and human
beings was offered to the society today
ny Dr. Gerhard Fankhauser Of Prince
ton University.
All inheritance factors, from the
curl in a persons hair to the skin pat
tern of the feet. are located on the
chromosomes within the body's cells
he declared. Occasionally tetraploidy
or an increase in the number Of
chromosomes which carry these fac
tors, occurs. he declared. and the re-
suit may be better animal, a more
productive plant or a circus freak.
This doubling or tripling OF chrome
some numbers often occurs in nature
DR.. Fankhauser declared, indicating
that it may be one of the chief factor,
in evolution. DR.. A. F. Blakeslee OF tn,
Carnegie Institution of Washingtor
added that he is able to produce tn,
phenomena at will In plants by dos
ing them with colchicine. a ehemica
formerly used only in the treat
Of gout.

COLLINS OPPOSES
TRAINING SCHOOL
Tells Hearing Cost Is i as
Much as to Send Two
Girls to VaSSar.

Strong opposition to proposals to
continue operation of the National
Training School for Girls was voiced
by Representative Collins, Democrat
Of Mississippi at a hearing late yes
terday before the deficiency subcom-
mittee of the House Appropriations
Committee.
Mr.. Collins is understood to have
told the subcommittee. 1T costs as
much to maintain one girl at that
institution as it does to keep two girls
at Vassar."
AS chairman of the appropriations
subcommittee in charge Of the District
supply bill, Mr.. Collins had Congress
approve closing Of the training schoo!
June 80. No funds were appropriated
for its operation after that date. Mr.
Collins said the inmates of the school
can be quartered in the building al
Blue Plains which is soon to be vacated
by the transfer of 40 boys to foster
homes.
Mr.. Collins appeared before the
subcommittee when 1t began conslo-
Grafton of deficiency estimates for the
