WPB Sets Saturday DeadHne
for Cuffs on Your Trousers
But Merehont Toilon Soys Cuffs
Will be Taboo Within Few Months

taboo by war production board
orders.
A lot Of men are hurrylng to
get in under the deadline. But
moIe males are flocking in 10
have cuffs removed from last
years models.
The fact is, say the leading
merchant tailors, the new style
is perfect and within few
months a guy will look slightly
out of date with cuffs on his
trousers.
But those who want cuffs are
adamant. Some of these clients
ask for the leftover strip so
Ma can sew 'em on"
Most of these complaint. have
come from men who have been
buying cuffless pants from
ready-made clothing stores,
where the cuff ban became eff
fective last March 30.
The tailors were given until
May 80, originally, TO stop cuff
ing pants, but this order has
been clarified. No trousers may
be cut with cuffs after May 8,
and none delivered with cuffs
after May 30.
But here's the reason it might
be we'll 10 settle the whole thing
quietly in the alley:
The way production board has
announced that bootleggers Of
cuffs would be liable to a S10,-
600 fine and a year in prison.
That means, said the WPB,
that a man who SeWs his own
pants cuff back on after May 80
is a bootlegger.
"Cuffless pants are what
make dinner suits and formal
evening clothes smart-they'll
do the same for business suits"
said one ready-made clothing
operator.
81 tell my customers better
to be without cuffs than without
a seat in your pants, " said

EAST LANSING, May SIP
The state police reduced TO
statistics the story Of how 2,lO8
persons lost their lives i'm traffic
accidents on Michigan's streets
and highways last year, and
what caused these accidents,
The months-long survey re-
ported 1925 traffic accidents
of all kinds, IS per cent more
than in the preceding year. The
fatalities occurred in 1850 acct
dents, some of which took sew
eral lives, while 28,039 other &C
Cidents caused personal injury
TO 40,708 persons. Accidents in
creased in So counties.
While the number Of persons
killed was 1856 or PA per cent
greater than in the previous
year, the death rate of l2.5 for
each one hundred million We
hicle miles of travel in the state
was not quite so high as the ma
tional average of 1876 per hun
dred million, the report said.
A section of the survey deal
ing with causes of accidents
said the principal factors were
the usual ones-failure to have
the ri & h t-of-way, excessive
speed, improper turns, etc.
Of the drivers involved in
fatal accidents, 90 per cent
were described in police reports
as had been drinking" while
1877 per cent of pedestrians
killed had been indulging in in
toxicantS.
Six hundred sixty four pedes-
TRANS were killed, a rise of 90
per cent over the previous year.
The statistical department re-
ported the upward trend in all
fatalities may be partially &C
counted for by greater exposure
resulting from an increase Of
9 5 per cent in the total number
of vehicles registered and an
increase of 1878 per cent in
total mileage driven"

 Hundred Days" Historic
 The fortunes of war, and the manner in which the peace is settled, will naturally have pro found effect on the degree of im- portance which will be ascribed to his occupancy of the Presidency.
 The nine years Roosevelt already has served can be divided roughly into three parts. The first period started eff dramatically on March 4 1933. when with the banking structure of the nation tumbling, Roosevelt imparted confidence in the masses, and began to pull the nation out of long deflationary cycle.

 Gets Congress- Support
 The war powers" which he en- joys under the Constitution and the many laws and proclamations are so vast that nobody really knows how powerful he really is.
 Since the United States has the presidential system of government, with fixed terms of office, Roose- welt does not need periodically to go before Congress for vote of confidence, as does his colleague, Prime Minister Winston Churchill of England.
 Under the spirit of war unity" now prevailing, Congress is in- clined to grant Roosevelt all he needs in the line of appropriations and supplementary legislation con- nected with the war effort How ever, Congressmen still make a show of maintaining their inde- pendence when dealing with re-

Roosevelt Leads World War II OffenSe ASHe Starts 10th Year In White House

Days" Congress passed every bill submitted to it with hardly any discussion. Reform after reform was started, although many oi these ultimately were ruled Ilncon- stitutional by the Supreme Court.
 Court Battle Recalled
 The doctrine of the Good Neigh Dor" had its start with the Roose- welt inaugural message in 1893, and became well established by Secre- tary of State CordeI Hull at the Montevideo Conference in Decem- Der, 1883, and by the actions of the then Ambassador to Cuba, Sumner Welles in the turbulent days of Cuba.
 The second phase of Roosevelt's administration began about 1885 when some of the initial entlus- iaSms were decreasing and many early collaboratorS were being dropped.
 Encouraged by his 523 to 8 cleo toral vote victory over ex-Governor Ali M. Landon in 1886, Roosevelt the following year began his strug- gle with the Supreme Court, and ill 1888 he sought to "pudge" vari- ous Democratic Senators who were no longer enthusiastic "New Dealers"
 ArOuSeS Democracy
 Roosevelt failed in both these fights, although he did eventually see the Supreme Court entirely modernized through vacancies created by deaths and resigna- tions, which gave him chance to appoint younger men to that high tribunal.
 The third period of Roosevelt's Presidency began around 1937- 1898 when he foresaw the necessity of awakening the forces of Democ- racy to the dangers they faced
 His Chicago speech of 1937, in which he suggested that the ag- gressors be "Quarantined," so startled public opinion in the United States that an Isolation ist" reaction developed and did not disappear entirely until the Japahese attack on Pearl Harbor.
 Solid Support Now
 Early ill 1889 Roosevelt saw the necessity of amending the Neu- trality Laws, so that Britain and France might make purchases ot arms, planes and munitions in the United States to overcome the big advantages which Germany had ir such supplies
 He was unable to convince Con- gress that this should be done un- til after the war started. Then the Cash and Carry" system was adopted, which remained in effect until the "Lend-Lease" policy was established early in 1941.
 War struck the United States or December ', 1941, and Roosevelt thus automatically began new period. "Interventionists' and "Iso- lationists" are now firmly behind the President in his program fol "au-out" production in 1922, de- signed to enable the nation and its allies to seize the initiative in 1943

May I come in, Colonel skeffing- ton?"
 The Colonel looked up from his paper. Tom Carr was standing in the door. His immense shock of white hair and great beard seemed almost to fill up the doorway.
 Whats up today, Tom?"
 Nothing special, sir. I'm going away"
 what about your job at the nursery?"
 Well, they've let everybody go out there"
 That's too bad Madame von Eln would be sorry to know you're 1eaV- ing the place. She thought a heap of you"
 "she was fine woman. Not many like her.
 well, Tom. Mighty sorry to see you go. Where are you thinking of going?"
 West"
 T wish you luck. How are you fixed for the trip?"
 "All right, Colonel, all right. I saved some money. I got me a cov- cred wagon - looks like a horse traders outfit - hitched right out there on the south side of the square - but it's fixed up all right"
 T guess you've got about the last of the covered wagons, eh, Tom?"
 Maybe, so far as the wagon it. self is concerned, but I take it there's always a steady movement west. It's natural, somehow. Wheth- CT it goes on in wagons, or by train, or however. Seems to me you're kind of in line with the will of the Lord when you move west. It's against the grain to go back the other direction" The Colonel laughed. Maybe you're right. It's history"
 But that's not what I came here for. wanted to talk to you about Benny Singer
 Singer? Oh, yes, that boy Madame took on her place. How'd he make out?"
 All right, Colonel - fine. But he ought to have job somewhere I'd like to see him in something be- fore leave. Now, Benny's little weak in the head. But he's willing and good-natured. He's got regu- lar hand with growing things"
 well, guess I could use boy myself. You know don't like tc hoe in my vegetable garden as much as I used to-"
 "He could take care of your place fine, Colonel. Mow the grass, and the like"
 Tell him to come in to see me-" "Ill do that, and right away. He's waiting in my wagon down there." "All right, all right. And-the best of luck to you.' A small crowd has gathered around Toms Covered wagon, There was hearty exchanges, ant } good deal of laughter from tht men standing around. Everybody knew Tom Carr, and everybody liked him. But no one overly re. spected him.
 Fine old fellow. Honest, too But not much force no, sir, no l much force" You got to be hard in thil world"

gional issues, or questions of agri- culture, rivers and power.
 One of Great Presidents
 The two-party system of govern ment is being maintained, and Re publicans expect to wage strong contests for many seats in the House of Representatives and some in the Senate in the legislative elections of November. Neverthe- less, there is a tendency to rally around the President" and reduce the intensity of political divisions which normally prevailed.
 RooSevelt's career, as a man who strongly fought for social reforms, improved living conditions for the
