'An Aid—Jobbers Seek Change in Lengths
Made at Factories
By J. C. BOYLE
Special Correspondent
Of The Evening Sentinel
(Copirigiit, 1925.)
NEW YORK. .ltiiic 9.—The whil‘
of the sewing machine is heard again
in the land. Women have begun to
make their own dresses after a per-
iod when that practice had fallen
into partial disuse. This is shown by
the improvement in piece. goods sal-
es in dry goods and department
The chief executive of one com-
pany which maintains stores in a
half dozen cities from New York to
the Mississippi ltivcr. declared to the
writer today that the piece goods
businesa was one of thi- savlng fea-
tures of the. dry goods situation.
Volume of buying, he added had
fallen off to some extent although
not to an alarming degree, and the,
demand had turned largcly to the
less expensive brands of merchan-
disc.
It is a matter of record that piece
goods sales had dropped to approxi-
mately half what they were tcn years
ago. Wometuturncd to the ready to
wear lines and the old custom of
employing a seamstress or making
one's own clothing was abandoned to
a great degree. The present styles
however have made it possible for
yvomcn to construct drtsscs quickly
and easily and piece goods sales
now are running at a liillt it higher
rate than the 10 year meritgc,
Production of goods of iii}
.width gave impvtus to the move-
ment. Practically all that is neces-
sary to construct a simple ,wt stylish
summer frock front such goods now
is two long seams and the 56 inch
,wash and printed silks are being sold
in large quantities.
This may necessitate a change in
the style of production. Such goods
heretofore have been woven in 10
yard lengths but these now will not
cut economically. It requires about a
yard and a half of the wide goods
tor 8 yards of the narrow widths to
shake a dress. and that. is all women
use buying. This trend fins striking-
ly shown at a recent remnant sale
hold by a big New York depart-
ment store. The yard and a half
lengths were snapped up at once
while the two yard pieces were left
almost untouched.
This trend is worrying tho jobber
in no little degree. It the mills-con-
tinue to stick to the 10 yard lengths
they fear they will lose a lot of
trade. The retailers are demanding
the one and a half and three yard
outs and this is far front satisfactory
to the wholesaler.
The renewed activity of the do-
mestic sewing machines has had its
principal effect on silk goods. There
has recently been a. slight seasonal
drop in production but the total
business of manufacturers is running
at a higher rate than ever before in
this country for this time of year.

titan any other kind of cloth. Not
only is there an active and insistent
demand for summer silks but order-
ing for tall has been heavy.
Iiaw silk prices are strong and
have advanced moderately this
tweek but they are still at a. level
aivnntageous to manufacturers. The
rayon or artificial silk producers are
working their enlarged plants at
capacity, Thi‘y ham realized the
mine to their industry of stability in
prices and have opened their third
quarter books at the same level as
now obtains.
President W. W. Dirge of the In-
dustrlal Fibre company of Cleveland
for example, says: “We him; no
warehouse and no need for one. Our
output has been sold asliead for
some time and indications point to
a continuation of that condition. We
are shipping our products as rapidly
as they are made." This company
when he became president in 1921
had about 90 employee. It now hires
more than a thousand and is bring-
liig its products up to 13.0th pounds
of artificial silk daily. an increase of
7000 pounds since 1923. The con-
cern works 24 hours a day seven
days a week. Other artificial silk
concerns are equally as actively em-
ployed.

WASHINGTON, June 9 (AP).~
Amateur operators are requested by
the Navy Department to listen in on
wireless tests when the three am-
phibian planes of the Machllan
Arctic expedition fly from the naval
aircraft factory at Philadelphia
Wednesday to' Boston. whence the
expedition wll. sail June .17. The
call letters of t to planes are NAD'K.
NAFK. and NAGK, and amateurs
are urged to report results to Wash-
ington.
Tests with both the short. wave
and the long wave navy standard
set radio apparatus were conducted
at Philadelphia several days ago
with satisfactory results. The short
wave appurnttis operates on 38 1-:
meters while the standard set oper-
ates on 425 meters. in the recent
tests the short. wave set was heard
at Hartford. Conn. 200 miles away,
while the standard set has a de-
monstrated dependaLility of 400

CHAPTER X
The strain relaxed that night
with the effect of 5 highly pressed
spring when the pressure is 500'
denly removed. Prostrute, utterly
exhausted. Leo spent the next day
in bed. She saw nobody except
dines and little Mink. The love of
a dog. she thought miserably, was
truer, purer.‘thau that of a bus-
band. She bugged the little body
close. And a qeer thought dropped
into Leo's tired mind. If this first
present. of Harry’s were a different
gift. a more wonderful gift? If this
small warm body had been anoth-
or? A little child. . . . Harry's
child . . . the soul brought from
beyond and clothed by Harry and
“Of course. I have often kissed.
would Harry return from Paris?
She had promised to let him
know . . .
Life, love and courage beckoned
with warm enticing hands. . . .
Harry did not return home until
dinner-time. One of the unexpected
events continually cropping tip in a
huge business with many branches
called him to Manchester next day.
He oNered throw to catch the
early morning train from Caving-
ham. and went straight upstairs to
dress.
Much talk had taken place be:
bind the scenes tonight—much
conjecture. But Pomfrey was too
dignified and wall-trained to vouch-
sate any remark to his master,
when the dinner-gong sounded. Of
late Leo had seized upon any ex-
cuse to absent herself from the
strain of their meals together.
Harry, therefore, noted her ab-
sence silently and without appre-
hension. Whether the added drea-
riness that had pressed down his
heart since breakfast cast an ex-
tra shadow over the opposite side,
of the table he could not tell. But.
the empty chair there looked curi-
ouely desolate. The room, in fact.
seemed so unusually gloomy that
be ordered another light to ho
herself in its mortal form. . . .
.NOR In that 'le l a I 0
With face buried in her pillow
she tried to crush these new
strange longings that the thought
conjured up. Val‘s ideal had be—
come unexpectedly united with
Harry. instead of remaining on a
separate side of the gulf. But. she
scarcely realized the full import
of this.
Harry had failed . . . Harry had
failed. . . . All day the words
dinned in her heart. With the fault
mmmon to those whose actions
