OUTLOOK FOR FALL AND WINTER. , X Conditions at the close o the first half of 1922 indicate that business will expand moderately during the autumn and winter months, according to a statement just issued by the National Bank of Commerce, of New York City. It is now one year since the defi nite beginning of recovery from the depression of 1920-21. Prog ress was slow until the close of 1921, but since the beginning of 1922 improvement has been rapid. Money is cheap. The crop outlook is excellent. With few exceptions, stocks of raw material and of manufactured products are not larger than necessary to bridge the normal period between production and consumption. Commodity prices are rising. The movement at present seems to be primarily one of adjustment between the different classes of commodities, and as long as the upward tendency does not assume a speculative character, it is a favorable factor. Except for strikes, there is little idleness. Production has expanded steadily since the beginning of the year, and as yet the usual mid summer dullness has been little felt. ;; Any fair appraisement of the situation must, however, take cognizance of several groups of qualifying factors. First and most important of these is the position of domestic consumers. Many are cautious and disposed to economize. Buying is not niniv t ha Kfimnlatpd hv renorts of impending shortage of goods, or fcars of higher prices, for except in the case of necessaries, the public is willing to wait, or to do without, it prices snow a lenueu cy;to soar. Furthermore, large sections of the population cannot boy, no matter how willing, if prices rise to rapidly. Although they have recovered somewhat, wages and salaries are lower than two years ago. Enforced unemployment left many workers in debt, or with depleted savings, not yet made good. Strikes have kept hundreds of thousands in idleness for months and threaten to result in idleness for other thousands if not speedily brought to ,anend. Farmers are usually conservative buyers and although prices of farm products have improved, prices of what farmers must buy are still too high in relation to what they have to sell thorn in n. notation to exDand their purchases rapidly. Furthermore, they are paying their debts. There is every ground to expect a reasonable volume of fall business at moderate prices, but there is no basis for expectation of such volume at high prices or of boom business at any price. - Th sppoiid retarding factor is the labor situation. The Unit- nA stMioa in in ihfi midst of widespread labor troubles. It is use- lens to declaim against the spirit that has brought this situation to pass. Each side in both the railroad and coal strikes believes it is i.iarifipH. Workmen do not liirhtlv sacrifice their earning pow cr, or corpoations carelessly take the risk of damage to their property or thoughtlessly forego the hope or proms ior a long vi,wl Thnr. Kprtion of the nublic which is not directly concern- , cd is an equal sufferer for these conflicts are certain to be felt rvhir-tivitv and restricted distribution in every line. The only settlements which can be ultimately in the public iitter crt. nro fair settlements, and the public has the right to take all moiiRiiren which mav serve promptly to bring them about. Delay in emw.hinir set 1 lament a will temnorarilv delav expansion, but it will not affect tho fundamental causes which for more than a year have been making for better business. The third factor which seems likely Co limit business ex pansion in the United States is the European situation. Out wardly it remains complicated. Enormous issues of paper have further lr.nrwiiit.ed the Cei-man mark. There have been assas BuYutions and other evidences of political unrest and Germany has fnmiiillv imulied to the Reparations Commission for a moratorium ou" reparations payments. Difficulties arising from depreciated currencies and disorganized , public finances are bound to be a retarding influence, and may have certain adverse elicit .011 ev ports of grains and other food products, cotton and other raw ma tiM-iula from the United States. - Thf.ru is mint her side to the situation, however. It is at last recognized that financial chaos cannot continue indefinitely, that grandiose schemes lor financial rehiuiiiilauon, ty which me KuroH.an combatants had hoped to escape some part ol the pen i tiv of the crime of war. are all bound to fail, and that Europe liiust save itself. Favorable exchanges clearly reflect the efforts those countries, combatant or neutral, which have faced the facts. Those countries which thus far have avoided the issue must meet it now. The productive power of the Continent of Koirope is certainly as high as or higher than a year ago. Even bankruptcy of governments could not nullify this advantage, and determination may avoid bankruptcy. o Did you ever read that old, old story about the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem under the leadership of Nelioniiah-.' Splen did lesson in efficiency in this story, is the opinion of a prominent writer. The chief jHiint of present day application is that Nelie niiah and his big force of mechanics succeeded because "the peo ple had a mind to work." Ever know anybody wail when he "had 4 mind to work?" Never, so long as he used his noodle more for effect than for ornament. Heads and hands have been given as Iwing peculiarly adaptable for work. The populai'Lj' ol two ev trVmo paths has much to do with the high cost of living. One is 1L0 wasteful path of luxurious extravagance; the other the futile path of inconsistent overalls enthusiasts. Uotwovn the two lies the happy medium of honest labor and thrifty, wholesome living, vcjiich few indeed seem able or inclined to follow. Doubilcxs the imst tllectual remedies for reducing the tot of living are work and thrift. pxunc flbiefcin's ft f- By BERT O. BATES.

In accordance with the evo lution of dross, flappers are destined lo be relegated to the junk heap ol forgotten jiUBtt). The little knee-length skirts and saucy hills are doomed to rest In the Karret with the hoop skirts and bou nds ot other days. The bobbed head-dress is to re ceive the same fate of the spit curls of jester-year. The household cook 1h to fall heir to the low-heeled sau daiB. And the culprit who wished all of this on us is the long skirt. Thero is no use arguing about It, the long nklrt is coming back. Some joy-killers say it is here already. "What does the long skirt have to do with ousting the flapper?" you ask. Can you imagine a long-skirted female with a cron of short hair? It can't be done. The little bolibed heads simply de manded the boltbed skirts and now with skirts reaching within 4 Inches of the floor, the flapper Is certainly undergoing "one of the crises of her lire." Taste in Dinner Frocks "American women are better dress ed on the streets than when in smart restaurants and roor gardens," com mented a French connoisseur of gowns who returned to Paris this week. "It Is surprising," he said, "to note the difference between the excellent taste or American street costumes and the lack of taste in dinner frocks. On the avenue, one finds lit tle distinction between the shop girl and the debutante. They are all beautifully shod: their gowns have the chic of the French creations; their hearing reminds one of the an cient Greeks and their figures are superb.
