We don't see how the necessity for new clothes can be met without having some effect upon gen eral business conditions. We notice in the fashion papers and on the streets that women's skirts are get ting longer and their sleeves bigger. That ought to mean a larger dnmana for fabrics of all kinds, and that, in turn, ought to moan a better de mand for cotton and wool and silk and rayon, out of which to manufac ture the fabrics. We don't think American women are going to dress out of fashior. very long, and while it was easy e nough to cut down the long skirts and cut off the long sleeves, it is not going to be easy to make over a short-ski itted, sleeveless dress into one with lull sleeves and a long skirt. We don't remember the name oi the political economist who pointei out many years ago, that if he ooulx be Emperor of China and issue 8 decree that every Chinaman's shirt tails must be three inches longer, i would double the business of th< Manchester cotton mills. Whoever he was, he expressed i great economic truth. BACK TO NATURE I't seems that one of the beneficia results of this long period of depress ion and industrial unemployment ha? been, to force upon large numbers o i people, who had never realized it be fore, that there is no safety or se curity for most folks if they get toe far away from the soil and the sea. We were reminded of this by read ing that the State of New York has decided to grant fishing licenses free to the unemployed, so that they may at least have tl)e chance of catching part of their food from the rivers and lakes, bays and ponds of the state. We think it would be a good plan tc adopt everywhere. Then we read about the various places, all over the country where thousands of unemployed are being encouraged to pan out gtoid from the soil. There- is gold almost every where in the United States. Mo3< of it doesn't run enough gold to the ton of earth or rock to pay for th< expenses of setting up regular min ing equipment , but we understand that a good many thousand people arc making good wages panning oul placer gold all the way from the Pa cific Coast to the Atlantic. Hundreds of communities gave heir and encouragement during the pasl summer to the unemployed who wer< willing and' able to work small gar den patches- and so help to feed themselves and their families. Aill such projects are, o(f course merely temporary expedients, but ou of them it is reasonable to expect thai a great many Americans, who havf been so brought up that they did no' know how to take care of themselves unless they were attached to a pay roll, will have learned that it i? possible for a man to make a living without much equipment b?yond hir two hands, if he will stick dbse e nough to nature's souces of wealth and M>ize them for himself instead of buying them through a chain of middlemen. Seventy-two per cent of N<yw York families live in rented apartments. * * ?

It is easy to imagine that lonely struggle. He had left a good' trade among people who knew him and trusted him ? and for what? To become a wandering preacher, talking to folks who never heard of h'm? And what was he to talk about? How, with his lack of 3xperience, should he find word?' for his mesage? Where should ho be gin? Who would listen? Would they listen? Hadn't ho perhapr made a mistake? Satan, says the narrative, tempted him saying: "You are hungry; here are stones. Make them Into bread." The temptation of material success. It was entirely unnecessary for him to be hungry ever. He had a good trade; ho knew well enough that hi. organizing ability was bet' er than Joseph's. lie could build* up a fa) more successful business and acquire comfort and wealth. Why not ? Satan comes in again, accondt'ng u the narrative, taking him up into a high mountain and showing him the kingdoms of tho world. "All thoie :an be yours, if you will only com promise." He could go to .Teru <aleiv and enter the priesthood; that was a ?;ure i'oad to distinction. He could do good in that way, and have the satisfaction of success as well. Or he might enter the public ser I v'ce, and seek political ' leadership. There was plenty, of discontent to be capitalized, and he knew the farmer and the laborer; ho was one of them; they would listen to him. For forty days and nights the in cessant fight went on, but one? set tled, it was settled forever. In the calm of that wi Monies i the.e canu t h r? majestic c-nvict'on which if V very soul of 'eadcrslrp- the faiil tha-* his sprint was 1 n!;:* * with th Eternal, that OcJ had svnt hs,n int< the world to do a work which n<> one else could do, which ?

Fall Fashions? 1932 vs. Gay 90's FASHION news reports from style centers pertaining to the new autumn mode say thnt the cigarette silhouette Is to ruin In new fall frocks for the modern miss, with the full ?leeve created to accentuate the cigarette silhouette. ? As this study In styles Indicates, a full sleeve Is Just as full of shirred textile under one name as another. The Victorian vamp of the gay 90'n was proud of her leg o* mutton sleeves and this autumn Miss Amer ica of 1932 will simply dote on the dolman sleeve. The oolman sleeve is In fact a healthy Juvenile ball"' sleeve well on Its way to full-bV maturity. ? Of oourae, forty years v the l?g o* anuttoa w^.al rage, cigarettes would never have boon mentioned In connection with styles. The belles of that era did not smoke since the raw tobacco ur,cd In making old fashioned cigarettes did not have the mildness which the toasting process gives to the modern cigarette which Miss America of lf)32 prefers. BUt the descriptive ?term seems applied (juito naturally to the modern straight and youthful silhou ette which Is Inspiring the fall mode. ? The dolman sleeve In Its design permits tho stylo creators to narrow the bodice lines by crowding tho shirred sleeve-top In toward *the -nter of both front and back, thus vlng the effect of an eight-Inch '?e front and back and creating s traight lino essential in th* clg> .ILo RUhoueti* , .
