Federal Traffic Commission Make Report on Domestic Manu facture in 1919. WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 II a r k e d progress in the development of the American dye industry was shown in a report made public today by the United States traffic commission. Production of dyes during 1919, the report stated, was equal to. or in ex cess of the pre-war imports of the United States, with the exception of vat dyes other than indigo. Manu facture of vat dyes, however, was said to have made much progress de spite the high technical skill, long re search and large investment of capital. Although the average price a pound of dyes in 1919 wars the same as in 1918. the commission found that the consumer received better value, as the dyes produced in 1919 were of a higher quality, and in many instances were of a faster type. Total production of dyes In the United States in 1919 was estimated at more than 63,000.000 pounds, an increase of 8 per cent of 1918 manu factures, and of 38 per cent over pre war imports. Many instances were said by the commission to have been found of a decrease in those dyes relatively easy to make, and the ap pearance of many new dyes. Output of certain dyes was said to have been developed to a point beyond the do mestic consumption, and large quan tities were exported, particularly to China and Japan. Little competition was experienced la foreign countries in 1919 from Ger man dyes, the commission reported. adding that the rate of dyestuff pro duction by Germany since July had been about one-third the pre-war output.

A thoughtless boy cautiously climbed the tree and robbed the nest for the thrill of the moment and the satisfac tion of giving fleeting joy to a companion. A Little Human Mother left her babes tucked away fast asleep while she stepped out a moment. A wolf in sheep's clothing slipped quietly in to abduct the fairest for the satisfaction of the moneys received for his work. So it goes, sometimes, in the lives of men. Mr. Smith bought a new suit at "a sale" price and the next day he saw the same thing advertised at "another reduction." And so it will continue to go until the end of time. Always, there will be some innocent and confident ones without protection or who refuse proffered protec tion, who will suffer from this world-old System of "Kobbing Peter to Pay Paul." Most people, however, can see and recognize this unfortunate principle in the frenzy, the hysteria, the confusion, that now has seemingly come to a climax with some clothing merchants in their effort to successfully pursue The System of con ducting "sales" and "re-sales," limited, as a rule, in time and goods offered; and then, perchance, "another reduction." Our Golden Rule Policy provides absolute protection to those who believe with us, that Smith, who buys a new suit today, should receive just as much for his money as Jones, who buys tomorrow. We invite all who believe in Equality who are in sympathy with our effort to avoid Business Hysteria who really seek the Truth and who desire to encourage the effort toward a quick, safe and sure return to settled business conditions we invite all such to come with us again to this space tomorrow, lor "The Climax." 366 at Park AUTO LESSONS RESUMED Free Instruction for Drivers to Be Given at Library.

Information reaching E. J. Jaeger, prominent In Rose Festival and other civic work, indicates that, as a result of his suggestion, the people of this city and vicinity cease using postal cards showing snow scenes, espe cially for Christmas and New Tear's, there Is to be a big, new industry es tablished here and expansion of sev eral firms already in the field. "There have been numerous com ments upon the suggestion which I recently made concerning postal cards," said Mr. Jrrer yesterday, "and one large firm nere sent a rep resentative to me to confer on sug gestions as to what kind of cards would be suitable in future, if the people here will fall Into line and quit sending out those ridiculous ones portraying icy, wintry scenes. I sug gested that a rose scene, a Caroline Testout rose, Oregon grape or Colum bia highway pictures in color would be acceptable and would carry a true story of our fine winter climate. "Already the Portland Ad club has before It a resolution calling upon its members and recommending to the people of the city and vicinity that they henceforth demand and use only such postal cards for sending away as carry a message or suggestion or our Rose City that shall be a true one. I am sure, now that the ridicu lous feature of sending snow scenes has been called to the public atten tion, everyone sees the absurdity of this practice. That much has been proved since the suggestion of discon tinuing it was made. Numerous peo ple have said they will never again send a snow scene from here. "I am making arrangements to get all of the civic clubs of the city to back up the movement for a different series of cards and believe that every one of them will enter Into it with enthusiasm. The Chamber of Com merce will be asked to indorse the plan and to recommend to its members and, in fact, every firm in Portland, that they use a rose or something that will suggest Portland as the Rose City on their stationery. There is no end to the good that can be done this way. The value of that kind of an ad vertisement would be unlimited. The Rosarlans use such on their envelopes and letterheads and we have had let ters from all over the world compli menting us for it.

Berman, who is a traveling salesman, yesterday heard that B. R. Fink, ex-captain in the United States army, was in Norfolk. He hunted him up.

When Fink got up. the ex-prlvate hit him another blow on the jaw. "That is for making me do dirty work for nothing while In your com pany," Berman said. Fink, bleeding from the mouth, ran Into a store to escapa any more of Berman's blows. Be-man said that while he was in the army in Fink's "E" company the latter compelled him to do all kinds of disagreeable things for spite. "He wanted my mother to board and lodge his sister.
