"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.
Down Michigan Avenue.
Chicago. April 17.?Overalls made
th?ir first appearance in Chicago today
when a man promenaded down
[Michigan avenue in trousers and (
I jumper of blue denim, set off with a k
I neat pin stripe of white.
Peeping from the breast-pocket of
his gingham coat was a $2 silk handkerchief;
a $20 silk shirt was visible ,
above the rolled back collar and on his (
head was a $15 hat?but the suit only l
cost $10. ,
While the overall movement is i
spreading throughout the central west, '
it has already begun to meet opposi- t
' tion. The Springfield, Illinois, Fed- i
eration of Labor last night adopted re- 1
solutions condemning the plan be- )
cause the demand for overalls has increased
the price, thereby adding to <
the cost of living of those workmen
who have to wear them.
The biggest overall club in the state
is being organized at Elgin by 4,000 ?
employes of a watch factory. At Mar- c
inette, Wis., the high school faculty t
has withdrawn opposition to a stu- c
dents club, and the teachers have F
agreed to wear denim. d
Back Tracking Here. *
San Francisco, Calif., April 17.? a
Announcement that the editorial force

that the overall "craze" had reached e(
this city, overall manufacturers an- a]
nounced that it was a "fool" move- a?
ment and would work widespread in- ai

2500 pairs and the sale will continue tj.
Monday. A mass meeting will be held ]
tomorrow and Monday will be the day ^
when all members of the club are to jr

here at $2.40 to $4.50 a piece, with 50 I iE
cents added to the price of each suit,|ai
the extra money going to various char i f<
ities here. The denims were pur-l ]
chased wholesale by Mr. Manget and's*
sold at city hall. - lie
