DRESS SUIT IS VETERAN OF MOST MEN'S WARDRObes NEW YORK, March 28.—How old is your dress suit? This question cropped up among a circle of men in a club the other evening. It led to some strange revelations. The most startling of all came from a man whose presence would grace any assembly. Iron-grey hair, trim moustache, lean and supple figure — he is the sort of man who figured in the old time whiskey advertisements under the device, "Age and quality." He stroked his braided trousers reflectively. "When these were made," he said, the idea of a flying machine was soffed at. President Roonevit was in the early stages of his popularity, and the 'horseless carriage' was still a wondrous thing. "I forgot how the women were dressed then; but it is certain that they barely showed their ankles. Since I bought these clothes women's fashions have undergone at least half a dozen revolutions." UTAH WON'T BLOCK COLO. DEVELOPMENT SALT LAKE CITY, March 28.

The brightest boys and girls are said to be born in October. Mr.Fairgrieve took 368 boys and tested them by the American Army test method. Though there were exceptions, he found that as a general rule the clever boys had their birthdays in the "dull" months.

LOUIS, Ill., March 28. News of the proposed retirement from congress of Representative William A. Rodenberg at the expiration of his present term, March 4, 1923, struck like a bomb shell in Illinois political circles. Mr.Rodenberg will have served as a representative for 20 years from the 22nd congressional district when he steps out of national politics. In 1920, Mr.Rodenberg was re-elected by a plurality of 23,000. The only members of the Illinois delegation, who are older in point of service than Mr.Rodenberg, are Representatives "Uncle Joe" Cannon and James R.Mann. Edward E.Miller, state treasurer, has announced he would be a candidate to fill the shoes of Mr.Rodenberg. Mrs.Maude Monroe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.Geo.D.Miller, left via the Santa Fe, for Prescott, Ariz., yesterday afternoon. Mrs.Monroe is still suffering the effects of a severe illness, and it is thought that the climate of Prescott will aid in her recovery. She was accompanied by her small daughter, Barbara Lee. Morning Folks: I saw a 'chicken' that was a 'peach' the other day. This 'chicken' believed in the harmony of colors. The tint of her stockings just matched the tint of her 'peachy' cheeks, and it must have required much time and work to produce the pale pink in the cheeks to match that of the stockings. The dress and shoes harmonized with the stockings and cheeks, even her hair harmonized. There was not a thing about the creature that protrayed life and health. She was the most 'unreal' thing I have seen in many a moon, but she thought she was knocking 'em dead, and she would appeal to some empty skulls. Gosh it's awful the way some girls doll up! They seem to try to become unreal as possible. There is nothing so attractive as health. If a girl is healthy and happy, she need not doll up to be popular. Yes she needs a little "horse sense" to help out. "Horse sense", health and happiness are beautifiers hard to better Yours, SARGUM SPROUT. R.R.'s MUST REDUCE WAGES OR EMPLOYES CHICAGO, March 28—Railroads, because of paying high wages, are able to maintain equipment for immediate requirements only.

President Roosevelt was in the early stages of his popularity, and the 'horselees carriage' was still a wondrous thing.

R.'s MUST REDUCE WAGES OR EMPLOYES CHICAGO, March 28. — Railroads, because of paying high wages, are able to maintain equipment for immediate requirements only. When business resumes, they will have an accumulation of locomotives and cars out of order which will have to be placed in serviceable condition. These claims were made before the United States Railroad Labor Board today by James G. Walber, representing eastern lines, in supporting the application of roads for permission to reduce wages. "So long as wages must be maintained upon a wartime level, the railroads will be prevented from adjusting their conditions to peacetime basis," said Mr. Walber. "If their income is to be absorbed by wartime scales of pay, corresponding reductions must be made in working forces." DUTCH BUSINESS BAD LONDON, March 28. — Financial writers in Amsterdam are just now lamenting a downward trend in the business position of Holland, which is indicated by increasing unemployment. The fundamental trouble with Holland's business is in many respects the same as some of the cause of England's present wave of unemployment, namely German competition. Strengthened by the debacle of the German mark it has given the German manufacturers an undue advantage in competing in Holland with purely Holland-made goods. This is said to be the direct cause of many manufacturers curtailing production.
