NEW YORK, September 5-—There ~“waa & more cheerful tone throughout the bond investment world today. The large over-subscription to the Republic ©of Chile 6s yesterday was followed by & good reception today for the Alabama | Power first refunding 5s. This will en- courage underwriters to go ahead with new offerings which they have been holding back since June.

NEW YORK, September 5—Laundry- men have decided that while shrinking | may be pardonable in a violet, it should | have no place in the make-up of modern | wearing ~ apparel. Consequently they have gone into conference with textile | manufacturers in an effort to reach | some basis of agreement on the proper | time for the shrinking process to take | place Some textile men say a profit accrues through the vardage gain when goods are stretched in finishing. But the | laundrymen point out that when goods | are overstretched—and the point where legitimate stretching ends and the ex- cess beings apparently supplies ample ground_for controversy—they shrink when laundered, to the dismay of laundrymen and the despair of wearers Laundrymen have suggested they will |attempt to enlighten the public as to | their claims that stretching is a by- product of greed. hoping that the more | representative textile interests will make somewhat similar efforts to inform the public_that questionable goods are our- | chased only at a risk. The situation is rendered even more desperate by the fact that the modern I mode of wearing little clothing enhances >|the difficulties attending upon shrink- age during laundering. Yardage in dresses, particularly in small and even | moderateshrinkage. is sald to cause some embarrassment. When it comes | to shirts there is still more trouble, for men, apparently paving little heed to shrinkage. wear the shirts regardless of the decreased size. Fish for Fuel.
