Textile Trade Quiet
As Sellers Refuse
To Cut Prices
Cotton Goods Dealers
Are Disappointed
By LuIl
By the Associated Press.

6y the A&60clAte0 frebS.
NEW YORK, Feb. l0.-Textile
sellers were as determined to main
tain prices this week as buyers were
reluctant to enter the market.
Business, in other words, was not
so good.
Cotton goods dealers appeared
frankly disappointed the usual frst-
of-the-year buying move had failed
to start.
Mill agents said the fault seemed
to lie in the large supplies Of pro-
cessed and manufactured cloths
piled up between mills and the ulti-
mate consumer. Retail buying. they
admitted. has been fair. but not
good enough to take up the slack.
A little encouragement was drawn
from the Government cotton stamp
plan, but this was seen largely as
q future influence.
Interest in gray cloths centered
on 80x80 4-yard prints at a little
unuer Z cents yard. Mills. how
ever, refused to make concessions
ana felt buyers would eventually be
forced into the market at 7 cents
Small but persistent demand kept
the rayon market busy. More in
terest was shown in box loom fab
RIGS and fair inquiry developed for
pigment taffetas and spun rayons.
Silk turnover was routine. Under
garment cutters, however, appeared
a little more hopeful of regaining
some of the business lost to COM
petitive fabrics due to erratic
changes in raw silk prices.
Retail hosiery sales were con-
sidered satisfactory, but manufac-
turers still appeared confused over
price policy
Woolen piece goods trade was list
less despite good retail demand for
woolen goods Some additional
orders were placed on summer
orders, but the trade expected little
doing until after Easter.

Many tears were shed in Germany,
France and other countries when
the World War broke out in 1914,
but Adolf Hitler tells us he shed
none of them.
II fell on my knees" he declares.
"and thanked Heaven that it had
granted me the good fortune of
being allowed to live in such times"
1t was not only a love of war
which made Hitler glad to have the
war begin. He was wildly patriotic
and wanted to strike a blow for
Germany, his adopted country
Quickly he joined the German
Army, and went through a period
of training. When he started toward
the front a few months later. he
was worried because he thought the
war might be over before he got
there.
Speaking of his first time under
fre, he wrote:
"At last came damp, cold night
In Flanders, through which we
marched. At daybreak an iron salute
came whizzing over our heads to-
ward us, and with a sharp report
the small bullets struck between our
rows.

welcome to the first messenger of
death. Then it began to crackle and

Don't Take Nv
Word For 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
Tomorrow
Noun. The day after today.

Tomorrow is said to be one of the
most beautiful sounding words in
the English language but not as the
average American pronounces it,:
"tuh- -MAH-ruh.
There is pronouncing quirk in
the American vocabulary for which
I have never found satisfactory
explanation. Perhaps some reader
can tell me why it is that most
words ending in %, as hello, echo,
motto, ditto, banjo, buffalo. calico,
cameo, domino, indigo, radio, etc,
are usually pronounced correctly,
while words ending in -ow, as mel
low, fellow, minnow, pillow, hol-
low, window, widow, etc., are al
most universally mispronounced
"melluh, felluh, minnuh, pilluh
holluh, winduh, widuh."
Some dictionaries attempt to ex-
plain this pronouncing irregularity,
but. it seems to me, not convinc-
ingly.
At any rate, careful speakers
will want to give to the last syl-
liable of all these words the full,
rounded and pleasing 20" sound,
rather than the gruntlike "uh"
sound so commonly heard.

lose their lives by the thousands,
if women and children suffer, he
seems to care nothing so long as
Germany's greatness" Is helped
along. Indeed it seems clear that
the very act of fighting, the killing
on the battlefield, draws him like
a magnet.
In later years, Hitler put out the
claim that he was fighting the
Treaty of Versailles, which was
drawn up after the close of the
World War of 1914-18. Yet during
that war, while German troops were
trying to crush France, he was filled
with the lust for battle. He wanted
to help strike down the French, and
make Germany master Of the

West opened the queen of dia-
monds, South winning with the king.
After some thought, declarer de-
cided to play for three-three dia-
mond break or for the ten of trumps
to be with the long diamonds. He
therefore cashed the diamond ace
and led low diamond. West won
and led fourth diamond, and East
over-ruffed dummy for the setting
trick.
The charge is murder ladies and
gentlemen! But who is the criminal
and how could the crime have been
prevented? H..
South is the murderer. He could
have made the slam despite the
unfortunate breaks in the red suits.
After winning the first trick, cor
rect play is to lead low trump!
East would take the ten of trumps
and return diamond to Souths
ace. But then declarer could lead
the remaining low trump to dunn
my's nine, and the high spades
would furnish discards for the two
losing diamonds. Giving up one
trick to gain two is good business!
