ALLIES A very disturbing series of articles is being published in The Commentator or "Prostitution in the United States," written by Dr.

Bascom Johnson, of the American Social Hygiene Association. who is noted as one of our most eminent social scientists. According to Dr. Johnson, this terrible social evil is increasing in volume and flagrancy. In many cities the situation is not only bad, but is rapidly becoming worse.

In assessing the reasons for this Increasing menace, the following paragraph is especially pertinent, and we commend it particularly to those who voted in favor of repeal: "Since the repeal of federal and state prohibition laws, the old alliance between prostitution and saloons has been renewed with enthusiasm on both sides. The intoxicated man is the easiest wictim for a wily prostitute. Conditions existing in many public drinking places definitely favor the traffic in sexual relationships. While it should not be imagined that the conditions described are peculiar to say Chicago, a recent report from that city states: in Chicago saloons and taverns flourished. Some saloons were simply houses of prostitution, having adjacent rooms use for voice: hostesses solicited at the bars and tables, thence repairing with patrons to connecting rooms.

In other cases streetwalkers came into the saloons to Bartenders, doormen and toilet attendants served as agents for prostitutes. All which presented picture disturbingly like the bad old days before the War." Major Johnson pays tribute to such "pioneers" as President Eliot of Harvard, Jane Addams, Prince Morrow, and others, who fought 20 or 30 years ago for the abolition of legalized prostitution. They would "smile ruefully at the irony of history" when a prominent American periodical a few weeks ago asked in all seriousness that hoary question- Do you think legalized prostitution is the best way to cure the national evil of venereal disease?" For the correct answer, he advises that we should read the reports of the 30 commissions that have studied the problem as well as medical books, and then visit the clinics and the laboratories. The correct answer to the question, says Dr. Johnson, is: "No.

Neither medical nor social science knows of any practical method for making prostitution safe." Is the Church of Christ deeply concerned about this perilous social Reformed Messen- Up On The Hill (By The Associated Press) who says life is dull gets a horse laugh from me." So says Richard J. Beamish, 68- year- -old member of the Public Service commission. "My life has been exciting, eventful and full of fighting and interesting things-and gets better as I get older," he remarked as he began a day of conferences and interviews as commissioner. He was appointed April 1 by Governor Earle to a -year term on the commission. He was on the Public Service commission during Pinchot's administration, and was named chief counsel by Earle before the PSC was abolished.

Politics has played a big part in Beamish's career. He was born on election day, November 6, 1869. On his twenty-first birthday anniversary he was admitted to the bar. As a lawyer and a writer he has recorded politics for others, and has been in the heat of campaigns himself. He managed the Presidential campaign of George J.

Grey in 1908. Grey sought the Democratic nomination. William Jennings Bryan became the party's candidate, and Beamish was guest at Bryan's Nebraska home. The Pennsylvanian disagreed with Bryan's views, and went over to the Theodore Roosevelt forces, he said. "I was on the Roosevelt side of the Republican party until I resigned as secretary of commonwealth under Pinchot," Beamish explained.

He returned to the practice of law, and was appointed by Governor Earle as counsel for the PSC. Beamish is a native of Scranton. His father was Francis Allen Beamish, one time mayor of Scranton and Democratic leader in Northeastern Pennsylvania. He led the delegation at the convention which nominated Ropert E. Pattison as Democratic STRANTZ CONVICTED ON MURDER CHARGE Sunbury, May 10, Strantz, 34, brought into court in a wheel chair, heard a jury convict him today of murder in the first.

degree and recommend that he die in the electric chair for the slaying of Earl Rowe, Mount Carmel Councilman. The trial began Saturday. The jury took only forty-five minutes to reach a verdict that night. It was sealed and read in court this morning. Strantz slumped over in the chair at the verdict but had no comment.

Rowe was shot in his taproom several weeks ago. Earlier the came night. Mrs. Joseph Yorcavaget WAS fatally wounded in a quarrel at the home where she was employed as 3 domestic. Strantz and the woman's husband barricaded themselves in 8 house after second shooting.

Yorcavage was killed by a posse in the raid and Stranta was wounded in the heel. It was this wound that prevented him from walking into the court hearings. LINCOLN ALUMNI TO PRESENT WHITE IN LECTURE HERE The Lincoln University Alumni association of York will present Walter White, of New York city, executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, as its guest speaker on Sunday, May 23, in the Christ Lutheran church, at 8 o'clock. Walter White has long been connected with the national organization. He has traveled extensively throughout the United States in the interest of the negro.

The association with which he is connected attempts to protect the civil, legal and political rights of the negro, to secure equal opportunity for the negro, and to combat the spirit of persecution from which he suffers. ALFRED E. SMITH PLANS EUROPEAN JOURNEY New York. May 10, -Alfred E. Smith said today he would sail Saturday on the Conte Di Savoia for Europe on what will be "merely 3 trip of private business and personal pleasure." The former New York Governor said he planned to see the Pope.

However, he denied published reports that his visit to the Pope was concerned with discussion with the Pope for more active plans of the Catholic church to fight Communism." Your Health (From the Educational committee of the board of trustees of the Medical Society of State of Pennsylsania of which the Fork County Medical society is a component.) In the spring a young man's fancy sometimes runs away with him. He gets the urge to blossom out in colorful raiment. Not content with fancy habiliment which may be removed at will he desires 8 more permanent type of bright-hued dress. So-he has some tattooing done on his person. Very pretty.

And very permanent. Come a when he tires of the motto. the full-rigged ship, the day, rigged ship, the heart and cupid's dart. Try to get rid of them! In tattooing, colors are placed deep in the skin. They may be removed only by the most drastic operation--amounting practically to surgery.

The Maoris of New Zealand elerated tattooing to a high art. Tattooing is common in China. Borneo, India and other parts of the Far East. Sailors introduced the custom to Europe and America. Now there are tattooing parlors.

or rather salons, in most large cities. Tattooing has had quite a vogue. Many prominent people have subjected themselves to the tattooers needle. Some members of royalty carry tattoo marks Imagine the embarrassment of the love- sick but fickle youth who had "Gwendolynne" emblazoned in bright colors on his arm and then later wished to marry a girl named Maud. The beauty of sunset tattooed on the human body does not fade at night.

Bright and early in the morning it is still a radiant sunset. One can become frightfully bored with a beautiful sunset. Don't have one tattooed on your person. It's there for keeps. DO YOU KNOW Compulsory Health Insurance.

The elder Beamish also published a Sunday newspaper, the Free Press and a daily, the Avalanche. "Dick" wrote his first newspaper article at 9. At 18, he was teaching school in Scranton, and was principal of Scranton High school for six months. Later he taught at St.

Thomas college. and coached the football and debating teams. His newspaper aspirations took him to the North American in Philadelin 1898, after he had been advised to give in office work because of failing health. Beamish wrote on space, and smiles as he relates how he covered the celebrated Father Riegel murder case, and was sent out on a halfdozen famous murder mysteries. When the "sob sister" died, Beamish wrote advice to the lovelorn as "Janet Shaw" for a time.

Later he was managing editor of the Philadelphia Press, special correspondent for the Philadelphia Inquirer and political editor for the Philadelphia Record. He has written several books, including "History of the World War" which took him twenty-eight days. DEATHS AND BURIALS J. Price Reigle The funeral of J.

SUIT OVER DAMAGE TO FENCE AND TREES The cutting down of a wire fence and alleged damage to shrubbery has involved three property owners of Lightner's hill, north of the city, in litigation which has been held for the action of the grand jury by Alderman Jacob Stager. The defendants, Morgan Kohr and Joseph Matthews, are charged with malicious mischief on complaint of Robert Hoffman, head of the York Oil Burner company. State Trooper Lawrence L. Priar is the prosecutor in the case. Hoffman alleges that Kohr and Matthews cut down about thirty -nine steel wire fence and that they broke down and damaged three evergreen trees and shrubbery on his property.

The defenCants deny knowledge of the damage to the fence and shrubbery, which they allege are not on! the property of Hoffman. GOES TO COURT FOR LARCENY BY TRICK AROUND THE TOWN Good Morning! -0- This date in history: 1780-General Lafayette brought General Washington a commission as lieutenant in the army. our own Washington never active service in the French army it is interesting to know that he had the rank of general under two national governments. It was a graceful return of courtesies and an evidence of national good will on the part of the French. 0- 1816-The American Bible society was formed.

After more than a century this society is still in existence and is an active agency in "the spread of the Gospel." The number of copies of the Bible it has distributed runs into the millions. 1827-Septimus Winner, an American composer of popular songs, WAS born. One of his songs, and perhaps the most widely known, was "Listen to The Mocking Bird." He sold the copyright for the magnificent sum of $5. Other songs of his that were whistled by almost everyone were: Where, Where Is My Little Dog Gone?" and "Little Brown Jug Don't I Love There is genuine melody in the "Mocking Bird" song. -O- 1849-Madame Recamier, a famous French beauty, died.

Her sway as 8 social leader extended over a period of about fifty years. All the great ones of Paris flocked to her salons, among them Madame de Statel and Chateaubriand. She believed that physical beauty and care of the body are an important and integral part of life. In that respect, at least, her influence still goes on. And why not: is not the the temple of the holy spirit should it not be kept body, fit for the Master's use? Speaking personally, we have no sympathy with the idea of "mortifying the desh." It is a form of sacrilege.

-0- In connection with the coming coronation may we straighten out 8 point concerning which there seems to be considerable confusion in the newspapers and among readers? In one of the big Sunday supplements Sunday there was a picture of Princess Elizabeth under which it WAS stated that she "presumptive" to the British throne. She not the heAr presumptive, but is the heir apparent. The heir presumptive is her younger sister, Margaret Rose. The heir apparent is the one whose succession to the throne cannot be interfered with by the of another possible heir. If Elizabeth, later as queen, should marry and have issue, that child would become the heir apparent.

So little Margaret Rose is only the heir presumptive because the birth of another heir may put her out of the line of succession. But if Elizabeth should die before having issue, Margaret Rose would automatically become heir apparent. -0- If we were to believe the pictures that the artists draw of "Mother" for illustrations in magazines and papers for "Mothers' Day" each year the conclusion would be forced upon the world that all mothers are weary old women, happy perhaps but sad and near journey's end. Why, not even our grandmothers look that way nowadays. Haven't the artists grown sickly sentimental toward "Mothers' Day Why don't they show some of the bright, sprightly, laughing mothers? There are many, yes, very many of them all around us, mothers in the full activity of life, mothers who dance and play with their children and enjoy life with them.

Motherhood no longer means being laid on the shelf to pine away die in weary sadness. Let's have some of this kind next year. -0- And, while speaking of mothers, we'd like to mention two others who have come to our knowledge just within the past few weeks. Neither of them lives in York so we are betraying no secrets. Each of them is about forty years old, each has several children, yet in spite of that each of them has gone back to college to complete some courses that were left unfinished.

One of them is in the same college with her daughter and they are having lovely time together. Very unusual? Yes, certainly, but it goes to show that not all mothers are elderly, wornout women as most of the artists portray them. -0- The presence in town of the visitgrocers from all over the state calls to mind what marvelous strides have been made since we were a boy in the vast increase in the variety of things that can now be bought in a grocery store. If mother is too busy to prepare a simple noonday meal consisting of some kind of soup, Johnny can run around to the corner and bring back any kind of soup the family prefers, and it will be just as good as any made at home. And if baby's food is not prepared, that too, in a variety of formulas, can be purchased in a can and the baby will laugh and grow fat on it.

Those are just examples; it would take too much space to make a long -O- There are other differences between the and the new grocery stores. The open. cracker barrel, the cola joke of so many cartoons, is gone; there is no chance now for the crackers to grow stale and gather a layer of dust. The cheese no longer stands exposed where the loafer can stroll over and cut a chunk for himself to be eaten with handful of crackers grabbed from the old open barrel. And even the bread and cakes that stand on the counters are protected by wrappers and covers of cellophane.

And you can't any longer reach into a barrel and bring up 1 pickle. These improvements not only save money for the grocer but they insure purer food for the consumer. The modern grocery is a great institution. Resident enrollment at the Pennsylvania State College has increased nearly 45 per cent in the past decade. There were 3927 studenta ten years ago.

There are now 5684. EMBLEM OF LOVE Morning Story With her marriage to tall, blond Jack Barrett: less than three weeks away, Ann knew she should be profoundly happy. Her trousseau was almost complete, only her wedding dress had yet to be chosen. Ann had a vivid mental picture of herself in traditional white satin, offsetting the glossy black sheen of her hair and sparkling brown eyes. Slim and small and dimpled, Ann Harris knew she would look well.

Lately, however, the feeling of discontent had grown within her until now she was very nearly miserable. Ann was 20, and to a girl of 20 an engagement ring can be extremely important. Of course, she told herself, she loved Jack just as much, ring or not-it wasn't a matter of how much she loved him. When they first became engaged they had agreed to use Jack's small fund of money to furnish an apartment, paying cash as they bought. For a young man of 25 Jack was extraordinary practical.

"It's like this, honey," he explained. "If I have to stretch the bank roll to include a ring, we'll have very little left for furniture and the like. And we don't want debts-that's no way to begin our life together. So if you're willing to wait until next year, we'll have a chance to save to get you 6 really good ring. I love you so much, Ann.

I feel sorry asking you to wait for it, but it's just not sensible to go into debt." "I don't mind." Ann said then. She hadn't minded, that is, not much. But after weeks of interrogation from her friends, weeks of giving each one the same answer, Ann's desire for an engagement ring had developed into a necessity. A ring was tangible evidence of mutual love. She felt that it would be like putting the cart before the horse, if she had to wait until after marriage for the customary symbol of an engagement.

She longed to have admiring groups exclaim over its beauty and to wish her joy, as other girls always had. Instead, they all looked puzzled when she told them she wasn't going to have one just yet. Ag the days passed and she was obliged to explain the situation with increasing frequency, she tried to avoid meeting people. That was rather rifficult, because being 8 prospective bride, she was naturally the center of attraction wherever she went. Whenever possible, she kept her gloves on sO that her ringless left hand would remain unnoticed.

Ann couldn't force herself to suggest to Jack that they do without something for their apartment instead of wainting for the ring. It was Jack's money, and she would not beg for anything, anyhow. She was tempted to buy an imitation diamond with her own earnings, but decided not to hurt Jack that way. It would not mean much, but be just for appearances, after all. She did try to A drop him a hint as to how she felt.

They had been shopping for furniture, and Jack had declared in favor of a more expensive dining room suite that seemed to her unessential. "But, Jack," she arguel. "If we spend a little less, we'll be just as satisfied and, besides, I like the maple set. It's sort of gay looking." "Well. my child, we're not always going to 'play' house." he teased.

with en undercurrent of gravity. "When we're old I think we'd appreciate the walnut more than the gay looking maple." "Perhaps, dear," Ann sighed. "I thought and-and we could it for save the something difference' use something we planned to get later." "Oh, don't worry, honey," with masculine misunderstanding. "We'll be able to manage it ail right. We're not going to start cutting anything until we have to." So that was that.

But it was citing to tramp in and out of the stores buying things for their new home. Ann was mildly surprised to find out how many things were required to start housekeeping. It it had not been for the stormy discontent deep within her, her sky would have been cloudless. Jack's mother remarked one evening about the weary droop that had settled upon her. "You're looking tired, my dear." she said, regarding Ann with cern.

"I think you're rushing around too much." "I'm quite all right, really," protested Ann. "Haven't you two got everything now? Mrs. Barrett refused to drop the matter so lightly. "I wanted you to take me to see the apartment later, but I think Ann had better rest right here this evening. You're going to spoil your complexion if you don't," she smiled at Ann, but her eyes remained serious.

Engaged girls generally look starry and possess an over- -abundant supply of energy, she thought. "Look at me, young lady," Jack said sternly. "Brown eyes like yours are prettier without dark circles underneath them. Ann you're looking pale, too." "My goodness?" Ann pretended shocked surprise. "I must get my compact." Throughout the evening.

Ann tried to be gay and merry, and was satisfied. His mother was tenderly solicitous. She made Ann comfortable on the divan and left the two young alone. Later, she returned tray of chocolate and people, small iced cakes. Watching her hands moving among the tray things, as if fascinated, Ann felt the tears sting her eyes.

She fought for control, pressing her lids together hard for a minute. As she opened them she glanced quicly at Mrs. Barrett and their eyes met and held. Ann turned away, but that instant was a revelation. "Jack." Mrs.

Barrett said to her son. "I think this child needs to get some sleep. You take her home now, and don't plan anything for tomorrow. Ann can take a day off-I've a strong feeling she needs it. When you get back, come up and say good night to me.

I'll be waiting up 1 for you." Next evening when Jack called at the Harris home he found Ann still 8 little pensive. Her kiss lacked usual warmth. Jack sat down. With. out speaking, he reached for her hand and forced a small box into it.

"Jack! Oh, Jack!" Ann was instantly alert, at one knowing, yet disbelieving. Her eyes filled with happy tears as she opened the box and saw a modest diamond ring sparkling inside. A tear dropped before she could wink it back, and splashed on Jack's hand. "Gosh, I'm dumb, sweetheart." he said gently. "You should have told me how much a ring meant to you.

I wouldn't have known even now, if mother hadn't told me. She told me in no uncertain words what her own ring means to her -I hope you'll forgive me for being so stupid, dear." For an answer, Ann threw her arms around him and kissed him. "I love you, Jack," she said. -Boston Post. BEAUTY CHATS By EDNA KENT FORBES AN INTERESTING DIET INVENT A GOOD DIET Don't let a reducing diet get you down! Miss Forbes suggests you invent yourself non-fattening dishes which will taste attractive, and yet reduce you.

There is no reason why a reduction diet should not be an interesting one. It might even provide more variety, and better tasting foods than your usual diet. the one which has obviously been too fattening for To reduce, you must of course elimimate certain things, candy and nuts, any fried foods, rich cakes and puddings, thick soups, ice cream, and you must cut way down on butter and cream and oil. Most foods taste better when steamed, broiled or baked. Try original mixtures of vegetables, such as carrots and cauliflower and peas, with a sharp curry sauce poured over them.

(AP)-Paul Chabas, who painted the famous picture, "September Morn," in 1912, died today after along i long illness. He was 68 years old. For two yeare Chabas had been an invalid, and the only painting hung on the wall of the room where he spent most his days was his own copy of the picture that made him world famous. "I love that picture," said recently of "September Morn." "They call it my masterpiece--perhaps it is.

I only know that in it is all that I know of painting." "Matinee de Septembre" was painted at Talloirse on the shore of Lawe Annecy in Upper Savoy with Letters From The People COMES TO DEFENSE OF V. N. A. Editor The Gazette and Daily: In answer to the anonymous letter, May 7, concerning the V. N.

signed "Several Financial Helpers." Visiting Nurse association been For almost thirty years this York filling a need in our community. Its progress has been possible through voluntary support of York's citizens and through the unselfish devotion to a cause by a group publicspirited women. The glory of the York V. N. which is known throughtout the nation, redounds to citizens of York and to the women who have served unselfishly on its board of directors.

Not so very long ago, the treasurer of the association disappeared. It came to be known that the missing treasurer was not bonded. This fact, to a great number of persons, hardly understandable, for the posting of a bond by those who are financially responsible is an almost universal practice. The board of directors of the Visiting Nurse association have worked diligently and intimately in the cause a number of years, progressing ferry Well with mutual understandintone mutual themselves. faith and In their mutual devotion trust to the cause and their associated fellowship, it is quite conceivable that the thought of demanding a bond might have been considered a gratuitous insult, not essentially different than demanding that his wife or children secure bond, insuring him it their fidelity.

Leave it be understood that this writer defending a loose business practice, nor minifying the enormity of the directors' mistake, but trying to be fair to a group of women, deserving of no little credit, and under the present circumstances rating a bit of sympathetic understanding along with the condemnation. Consider it you will the blow experienced by the V. N. A. upon discovery of the mysterious absence of the treasurer whom they trusted.

the stunning realization, too Carnsider the importance of a posted bond, even among friends. The disappearance of a prominent person is invariably bound to raise. a question or two in the minds of the general public. The question unanswered often works a deviltry of its own among the baffled populace. Whispers arise like strumpet winds.

Doubts spring up and a cyclone of rumors, mostly unfounded, sweeps the community. Certain citizens it seems are seized with something akin to mob frenzy. Some one cries out they are shielding the guilty person; others screech: is the matter with the newspapers?" "Why don't they tell 1S truth?" (most invariably, these folks adhere to 3 rumor of their own fancy and imagine that it is the truth). The press, they expect, should be a detective agency. It is with the feeling of disquiting futility that I write this, for when suspicion is rampant, neither goodwill nor reason can prevail.

And at no other time is it easier to condemn than to construct. The signed "Several Financial helpers," appearing in this column Saturday, made vocal many of the doubts and whispers concerning the plight of the V. N. It did more, it condemned the association and invited the opinions of other persons on the matter. It is perhaps well that the writers of that suggested "a come out with their thorough did not names.

A day may come when the truth with its implications will be uncovered and published. When the truth comes to light the writers of the above mentioned letter. May readily disclaim their outburst and thank the very pusilianimity that kept their names from the letter. Until the truth is discovered and brought to light, we should keep the faith with a great institution in a good city. ROBERT B.

Dept. of Agriculture) On this basis the most accurate figures disclose an annual deficiency of approximately 27 billion pounds of milk, (the equivalent of 13 billion quarts), a deficiency of 11-3 billion pounds and citrous fruits, a deficiency of more than 12 billion fruits and green vegetables, a deficiency of 2 billion pounds of meats, and more than 13 billion eggs and billions of pounds of sugar. In other words our socalled "economy of plenty" with its 527 million acres and its 6 million farmers, has failed (not only in one year, but in a 5-year average test) to meet the adequate food requirements of its people to the astonishing extent of nearly 100 billions of pounds of foodstuffs! In order to make up a large portion of this annual food deficit we were forced to import some 22 billions of pounds of food.

Under no stretch of the imagination can this be termed an economy of abundance. Ample food (26,919 million dollars worth, including confectionery, restaurant fare, liquor and exports), was produced in 1929 to satisfy the nutrition needs of the people. Since the buying power of 16 million nonfarm families (59 cent of the total of all families) under $2000, peas these families were unable, obviously, to enjoy the more expensive foods. Consequently, the national diet show an excessive consumption of starch and sugar 'and a deficient consumption of fruits, vegetables and meat. These 16 million families no doubt had to defer their purchases until a percentage of the available food had reached the "requisite degree of obsolescence and physical decay" to warrant price reductions.

Food to a total of 30,692 million dollars- 3000 million dollars worth more than was producedwould have provided every person with a "liberal diet" (See page 12, Stiebling and Ward, "Diets at Four Levels of Nutritive Content and Cost." Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. as well as luxury food and liquor to the amount consumed in 1929.

D. 3, was held for court last night by Alderman Jacob Stager on charge of larceny by trick.

The prosecutor, Harry Witmer, 274 West Market street, alleges that he delivered potatoes to Williams' home, but that Williams did not pay for them. The potatoes are valued at $31.50 by Witmer. Attorney Harry Brooks was counsel for the prosecutor. The defendant was represented by Attorney Harvey A. Gross.

There is always come risk of a scar in pricking the covering, and it is best to work for the clearing of the pores, so there will be no need of forcing the impact through the opening.

Constant, daily stimulation of the skin will be needed to do this, by using creams or oil, also gentle massage, hot baths for the entire body, preferably hot showere, in which the skin over the entire body is steaming. Work for stimulation all over the body, and the complexion will share in it. By freeing the pores all over the skin, there is lese work for all pores of the com- plexion.

Chabag insisted he had no desire to see the original. "If I had never seen it from the day I put down by brushes after painting it, could make a perfect copy," he once said. The price paid for this original was not revealed, though it is known Chabas in his prime virtually dictated his prices. At least three of his pictures have brought 100,000 francs each-a sum equivalent to 400,000 francs, or $18,000, today. When anger rises, think of the -Confucius.

etables to the extent recommended, no doubt exists but that the farmers could demand keep pace with the increasing for the latter products. Our food processing facilities are already capable of satisfying the recommended consumption. In the great prosperous year 1929 the male population of the United States was supplied with a bare one-third of a garment of new outerwear. While, at the same time, the capacity on a plant basis was barely able to supply a fraction less than a single new suit of clothes for each male. In other words, in this land of plenty, where two new suits of clothes per year may be a reasonable expectation, the American ability, with existing equipment and material capacities taken into consideration, disclosed a deficency of some 66 million suits.

For the female population, which fared much better than the male, there was barely one-half garment (skirts, ensembles and suits) per capita: while on a minimum living standard basis of two new outer garments each, the deficiency was in excess of some 52 million garments. Yet in 1929, in order to supply our population with barely one -halt a new garment each, we were forced to import more than one-half billion pounds of wool and cotton, to say nothing of other fibres. And had we then had the mechanical capacity to supply two full garments each, we would have been forced to increase our supply of cotton, either by additional importation or cultivation, by a full 5 billion pounds; and our wool by more than 1 billion pounds, which means an increase of six times our present number of sheep and an additional 17 million acres in cotton cultivation. In 1929, 57 million men and boys purchased some 29.09 million suits, 9.27 million coats and 173.06 million skirts; 57 million women and girls purchased 206 million dresses and frocks, 614 million pairs of stockings and 259 million pieces of underwear. If production had been limited by physical factors only, the men could have had 79 million suits.

21 million coats, 396 million shirts. The women could have had 485 million dresses and frocks, 1069 million pairs of stockings and 510 million pieces of underwear. The clothing budget (amounting to more than 18 billion dollars) provides for 67 million men's suits. 28 million men's coats, 363 million men's shirts, 275 million dresses, 681 million pairs of women's stockings and 427 million pieces of women's underwear. This budget, in most items, has been kept well under capacity operation of the plant.

It does not require all the cotton available in 1929, but will necessitate an increased importation of wool and silk -the former only for a short time. Such an importation could be arranged by increasing the exportation of other commodities in foreign lands and easily produced here in excess of domestic needs. This budget would require a three shift operation in a majority of cotton textile mills. Production in 1929 (including styled goods, custom tailoring, amounted in retail value to 10.176 million dollars. (This budget calls for production at the rate of 16.769 million dollars (including furs, which are not listed in the budget).

Even then, an excess capacity still would remain, suffcient allow the inevitable demands for (luxury) wearing apparel. TRUMAN J. KEESEY..
