PANACEA LACKING FOR FINANCE ILLS Tibat Is View of British Experts?Recovery to Be Slow and Only Possible by Hard Work. London, Feb. 8.?An official report iyf the financial conference issued tosiight shows that Chancellor Chamber .-W, . J nrtnfoi'OrK1** f f?r th(' vttJU twinrucu HIV vvim.1 V..W ourpose of discussing the recent :memorial of bankers and others to "'the premier in favor of calling an in:cemational finance conference. The memorialists explained that "the memorial had not been prepared " with special reference to the exv change situation, but was the outof a series of conferences held rat Amsterdam a month ago with a vlew to finding remedies for the -A economic collapse in many pans 01 Europe. In further explanation of their views they urged the imperative reed of European countries to bring "their expenditure within the compass of their revenue as to the first condition of obtaining assistance through public or private channels, and pointed out that, once this was accomplished private credits would immediately become available. JNo Panacea for Disorders. A general exchange of views followed and it was unanimously rectvgnized that there was no panc?ea for the existing financial and eco nnH that recovery was I'lVlil IV. UlOUIUVtu ? . certain to be slow and could only be achieved by hard work, increased production and private and public retrenchment. Mr. Chamberlain promised to report on the matter to the cabinet council tomorrow. He discussed the subject tonight with Premier Lloyd<ieorgre, Svho did not attend the conference. The fact that this is the first oc1 1 ^asion the labor leaders nave uc^n called into consultation with the government on questions of high JSnance has attracted considerable ?comment. It is supposed that the ministers are seeking their aid in the project of stimulating the workers to increased production, the belief being that the United States is clamoring -for British goods, especially textiles -which, if they can be produced in sufficient quantity, would provide a surplus after satisfying home demands, and this surplus could be exported to offset the adverse trade balance. wGreat Crowds Watched Conferees. <Great crowds witnessed the arrival ' -1?

I I PROFITEERS ARE NABBED j Ordered to Buy Goods Back or Con- ' tribute to Chr.rity. I ! Mew York, X. Y., Feb. 3.?Sixteen1 percent was set as the maximum profit for woolen merchants today by .Arthur Williams, federal food administrator. Mr. Williams gave the 'firm of Binder and Hvman, who had i made a profit of $1.85 a yard on! 1,272 vards of woolens which they1 i * i bought for twenty-four hours 1 to buy back the goods from the com-1 plaining firm, H. P. Belsinger and Company, at the price paid and resell at a profit of not more than ten per cent; return $1.25 for each yard to Beismger and Company or turn the $1.25 a yard over to charity. The food administrator declared that merchants should work on a basis of cost plus fair profit regardless of market conditions. ' < ? < > <$ MADE-TO-ORDER COMMUNI & TIES. **.* ' $ <i ?*N ? *- > '?

It isn't that the ready arafie is not serviceable, or that a .? /airly decent fit cannot be sometimes r-secared, but that if one can have the ; garment made from his own measure; a?ents and secure a perfect fit with j ?0od workmanship out of material selected by himself, he prefers it. ' Communities can be made to order or they can be had ready-made. Most of them are the latter variety. Or rather, they are not made at all, but Ike "Topsy," they "jest growed.'* .Most of them are accidents; and some are mere incidents. Their projectors and promoters were simply hunting for a place to live and work. There have been a few instances. here and there, in which communities have been made to order from the j whole cloth, altogether new; and the} are examples and models of whal community making should be. There are other cases, more numerous, ir which communities have been remade to order and very greatly improvec in the process. Even a rather worn hand-me-down suit can be recut, re fitted, re-dyed, and made to look anc serve better than ever, if the materia was good to begin with. s There is a pronounced tenoencj now-a-days to make or remake communities to order. People are becoming a little more interested in the places where they live and work an<i :the conditions which prevail there They are becoming convinced that1 i1 is possible and desirable to have theii ~? j i - -1. environment nt oeuer ana iook. ueitei and render better all-round service. ! In the great majority of cases it is re-making which is necessary. And there is much of it going on. From all accounts, Holyoke, Mass., is a notable illustration of a town re, made to order. It is a paper town, but it is far from being merely a town on paper. Paper manufacturing ! is perhaps its greatest business, j There may be some connection between its business and its re-making. Its business is to take old soiled, | worn out, or crude material and change them into new, clean, and 1 CPWlPPfl hlf* nmdUCtS. ! And it has set about making a similar transformation in itself. The results | of its efforts in this direction are | likewise wonderful. It is an organized j town. Its organization centers around ' a remarkable live and effective Chamber of Commerce. This cham! ber is larger than its name implies. ! It is not merely a board of trade or a chamber of commerce; it is a comJmunity organization. It has realized J that trade or commerce in a com: munity depends upon a number of ' - o r>n ysi Kar OlflCr UHIlgS clliu mat a i iuihuvi vi. other things grow out of it. So it concerns itself in ?n organized way with all allied, vit' immunity interests, i Its announced, "major working program" includes the following planks: j 1, Housing; 2, Trolleys; 3, Industrial | Development; 4, Streets and Alleys; 5, Parks and Playgrounds; 6, Advertising Holyoke. It has made three big and successjful ventures in municipal ownership land <$?ration. It owns the majority r stock in a railroad; it owns and operlates its gas and electric plants and | its v at arorks. It advertises the | lowest water rates in the state and the lowest electric lighting and power rates in New England; and all its ; municipal service .is eminently satisfactory. ; Its ''supplementary working pro^ gram" includes: Good Roads, Traffic ! Laws and Ordinances, Freight and Railroad Facilities, Law and Enforcement, Public Forums and Social CenTirmrovpment of Mercantile Con ditions, Extension of School System, New Station. It has a public forum for the discussion of all civic matters and when a measure has been threshed out in the forum, it is promoted to the working program if the forum i so decides. It is needless to say that a Cham; ber of Commerce run on these lines has secured hearty and general cooperation. And it is rapidly re-making Holvoke to order. It is a fine illustration of the working of the new community spirit. It exemplifies the New Democracy?a free people erecting: a superstructure of organized liberty in action upon a foundation of law. The Band Hadn't a Chance. From Pearson's Weekly. To make the fixture more attractive if possible, a brass band had been hired from the nearest town to play during an important match of the Studfurrow football club. A " />wntfi4 QceorviVilofl ir?
