"JUNKER" ATMS ON cm mm Senator Cromer, of Alabama, * * *i n*n _ i c* uerenai nis out in uie senate Washingtno, April 17.?Senator Comer, Democrat, Alabama, declared In the Sentae today that "junker" attacks from cotton exchanges were being made on his amendment to the agricultural bill, providing that half of deliveries on cotton contracts Bhall be of fair 1.o middling grade. He declared the amendment would not injure cotton growing interests or seriously harm the exchanges and that it was not in the interest of spinners as has been allej"1! by his opponents. The piincipal aim of the legislation, Senator Comer .?aidA io to equalise the contract and spot cotton markets and "quotations." "The exchange propaganda," he) declares, "charges tbat this amendment will make the contract market a spinners arket and can be worked to the hurt of the producer and retailer. This chance is dog-i mat|c, absolutely untrue tand a/1 scintilla of experienced or academic reason can be brought to sustain the charge. Absolutely exchange propaganda, unbelieved by any dis.jnjei?8ted man and impossible of proof. - . 1 "Any charge that it will hurt the farmer or the dealer is a camouflage of the Junker class a Junker tbat has prayed on cotton so long. The Junker class wishes to Germanize this great product and place a tribute on it forever." Regarding "bear" dealing, Senator Comer said that with the amendment enacted the danger of bear raids will not be so apprehensible." The spot and futures market will trot alongside by side more evenly now," he stated. . . MEN TOO FAT FOR NEWEST SUITS From the Evening Sun Men's waist lines are growing larg- j er, according to the observation of. those who have been engaged in selling men their spring outfits. Unless j seme improvement is made in the pre -1 sent situation, so that the scale turns in the opposite direction, they will havo j to give ud all attempts to wear the form fitting clothes now fashion, which require a decided in-curve tt the walBt, ami go around in baglike cost'uinee resembling the smock} Qf Greenwich Village, - Ji ? A' iV a m O O i ne uiacovery ur uie iuticaoiu6 wan- . culine girtA caused surprise in the sartorial world, where it was thought that more sylphlike proportions would result from the enforcement of pro-! hibition. A more thorough analysis of the situation, however, showed that although there was an entire abandonment of the beer drinking habit, as every one knows who has been around New York at all recently, the drinkers immediately substituted the candy eating habit for their former potations. Many of them carry paper bags containing chocolate* or gum drops in their pockets from one week's end to another, and when the supply becomes depleted instantly send the office boy out for a fresh one. ''From the nn!nt of view of good form candy eating is far more pernicious than drinking," said one thoughtful salesman who had tried to insert several customers into new form fitting uuts and succeeded in producing a ripping effect, not at all desirable iu the opinion of the clothing trade. "There is one thing about men, however,'' added the salesman, "they are iuore controlled and philosophical than women when it comes to being put in the 'stout class.' With the.exception of actors and other sporting characters | they always acquiesce when we tell | them they are out of the young men's i ciass when it comes to suits. Actors and baseball reporters insist! ^ i ! cn snappy styles, no matter uuw eiuci- j ly and fat tbey are. There are long j stouts, short stouts and medium stouto in the men's clothing trade, and all three groups look better in double; breasted coats than anything else. We can get a form fitting effect by fitting j the coats in at the sides a little and j letting them slope out rather subtly in | front. Young men stouts are, of course, j not so easily diverted from the modes j of the moment as those of older grow- j th, and we make a special effort to adopt the season's waist line effects I 10 their requirements." A sweet feature of the spring top coats for men are those of reddish tone, which remind the observer of spring poetry and "the deeper crimson" which glows upon the robin's ( treast at that season, according to i.r. Tennyson. Extreme youth is also expected to garb itself in rather vivid green shades. But the favorite lounge lizard model has been shorn of its peculiar distinction this spring. Belts have disappeared from coats, and thus the pet short waisted effects are greatly modified. There are quantities of patch pockets which try to make j up for the disappearance of the belt, j which in some trick clothes is p i Kitted to remain for a brief space ii/ th" back only. i "The principal thing to remember,1 howc'Ter," said the salesman, "is that if he must carry something on the hip it had better not be a bag of candy. I Everything is form fitting now and fat , is fatal.'' "Washington. April 17.?Representa-1 tive Upshaw. Democrat. Georgia, ap-! peared in the House today wearing overalls. His suit caused something of a sensation but in reply to questions of members he said there was nothing unusual about it, that it was simply a move to strike at the high cost of j clothing.
