This is meant purely in philosophical sense and does not indicate profiteering in any way. ‘or the firms in question are en- gaged jn providing coverings for the heads and feet of American citi- zens ang are most busily and pro- fitably engaged. The desire of American’ women to present a well-clad ankle to the gaze of the public has developed stocking manufacture from an in- dustry with total annual sales of $100,000,000 to one of $250,000,000 in late, years. Production has almost doubled since 1904, according to the Rea] Institute of America, located at Indianapolis. Enough stockings were manufactured in the last year to allow every. inhabitant nine pair. In 1904, production averaged 6.5 pairs for each man, woman and child, When silk hose was placed with. in the buying* range of other than the wealthy, stocking manufaciure took its first bound upward. Women beganto buy with regard to appear- ance as well as for comfort and wear and a well turned foot and ankle became a physical and sar- torial asset.

FIVE CHILDREN THOUGHT DEAD IN MONTANA FIRE FOUND SAFE had attended a moving picture show last night and were afraid to go to their home in the flat. The boy re- mained at home, they said, but about 10 o'clock he became frightened. at the thought of remaining alone in the house, and also went to the home of his aunt. Mr. Takala, according to the story, had planned to take the children from the home of the aunt some time before midnight. He did not appear there last night, howeyer, it was sald at the Koskinen home ang did not arrive at the fire until about’ 3 o'clock. It was said there also that he spent the evening “uptown.” to sixteen years of age, demand for colored hose which = = would match or harmonize with the mahi wit present, and sales prospects for the trend ford aheer silk remainder of the year are: good. ho: of the chiffon and lace types combined with the relegation of the high shoe to the background raised production to 1,015,749.084 pairs in this country in 1919. . Production this year, it is estimated, will be Slightly under the 1919 figures, but this will be due rather to caution of manufacturers in holding down stocks and awaiting development of fashion trends than to lessening of demand. For the first six months ef the r, 342 establishments making per cent of the total valua of the hose preduced in this country turned out 161,407,596 *patrs. While trade interests in many lines. are _hestitating, one purveyor to the other extremity, heads have decided to go ahead at full speed. ‘The John B.

Taxes and Dividends In the year 1923 the tax accruals against The North- western System amounted to $10,875,911.89. This is $1,661,689 more than the total taxes of all Canadian railroads, exceeding them by standing the fact that the Canadian railroads have 38,813 miles of road against 10,067 of the North West- ern Systém Lines. The tax accruals of The North Western System for 1923 were $6,046,345 more than the system had left for dividends and surplus out of its net railway op- erating. income after: deducting fixed” charges. ‘After deducting fixed interest charges and taxes, The North Western System had left out of its net rail- way operating income, to apply for dividends $4,829,- 566 or 2.4% on the total outstanding stock. The outstanding stock of The North Western System is equal to only $19,609 per mile of road owned. Chicago and C. ST. P.M. & O. RY. encouraged. This condition is largely due to the energy of the sales force.” Mr. Richards added that styles were largely a matter of locality and that models designed for,various sec- tions of the country were adapted af- ter consultation with retail mer- chants of each district, who were in closest touch with the desires and requirements of their customers.
