OFFICIAL ACTION BEGUN
Conference Held With Acting'
3Iayor Bigelow and Ordinance

r
legislation directed against so
called suit clubs now operating in
Portland, as well as itinerant mer
chants who are disposing of hosiery
and selverware by house-to-house
canvass, will be drafted at once by
City Attorney Grant and submitted
to the city council for its con
sideration.
Decision to take some effective
steps against this class of mer
chandising was made at a confer
ence hold in the office of Acting
IWayor Bigelow yesterday, attended
by K. S. Irwin, president of the
Merchant Tailors Association of the
Pacific Coast; D. E. Bowman, presi
dent of the Retail Clothiers Asso
ciation of Oregon and Frank P.
Tebbetts, manager of the Better
Business bureau; Joe Hutchinson,
license inspector, and City Attorney
(Grant.
Promises Held Violated.
II aeverai weeKS ago jisirici Aiior
Tiey Myers directed the Hayes Tai-
r Joring company to discontinue tak
m fn? ti v nrripra It Mnlf nnmflh rnn n tv
for suits on the "club plan. Per
mission was given the company,
however, to continue collection on
contracts already made with the
provision that suits be delivered,
according to contract.
Mr. Tebbetts produced three af
fidavits from holders of cards in
the Hayes' suit club, eateh of which
charged that the solicitor promised
a suit wthin one, two or three
weeks, but in each case the promise
vis not carried out.
Mr. Irwin produced figures which
lie said he received from the Hayes
Tailoring company, which purported
to show that the coat of each suit
cost $13, the trousers $3, the vest
3, trimmings $4, materials $10
and salesmanship - $10, or a total
f $43 for each suit, with no pro
vision for overhead.
"I have information that it costs
the Hayes Tailoring company closer
to $20 a suit for salesmanship,
which would bring the cost of the
uit to a price greater than the con
tract price, which is $48," said Mr.
Jrwin.
"For instance, there- is one sales
man in the employ of thj company
who is the promoter of the5 scheme.
I am told that he receives $9 com
mission on each order that he brings
In and $1 for every order that the
other agents bring in and' in addi
tion has a contract for a bonus of
$1000 payable at the rate of $100 a
week. The other agents, I am told,
receive $8 an order, commission.
"Any person who has investi
gated the suit-club business, which
is nothing more nor less than a lot
tery and has been so defined by
the courts, knows that for every 100
contracts signed up but 70 per cent
er thereabouts continue after the
second week and still more drop
out after the third and fourth week.
The agents or salesmen, however,
are paid commissions on these
orders and as a result the company
Is paying out money that it never
can collect."
Risk Declared Run.
Mr. Irwin suggested that some
method be worked out so that all
persons who have entered into con
tracts with the Hayes Tailoring
company on the suit-club plan, and
It was estimated by Mr. Irwin that
there are about 1200 contracts in
existence in the, city of Portland,
be given the right to receive mer
chandise to the extent of the money
that has been paid in.
"To allow the company to con
tinue Its collections is running a
risk of having the promoters of this
scheme dropping out of sight before
the final payments are made," said
Mr. Irwin. "There should be some
protection for the persons who have
paid in their money. If it is true
that the company has 1200 con
tracts, that means that the com
pany is collecting $2400 a week."
Acting Mayor Bigelow said that
lie had endeavored for years to find
eome means of preventing this class
of merchants from operating in
Portland. He held that not only
should the suit club operators be
driven out of the city, but some
action should also be taken against
the solicitors who take orders for
hosiery, collecting a sum at the time
the order is taken and the balance
being collected on delivery.
"This business is one that is al
ways the cause of worry to the li
cense division," said Mr. Bigelow.
When the merchandise is delivered
and found to be defective the sales
man cannot be located and it is im
possible to obtain adjustment from
the factory." .

IVentral Color.
EUTRALi colors are so named be
cause they are neither warm
and advancing nor cool and reced-
ng. In other words, the warm or ad
vancing elements and the cool or
receding elements ' are evenly bal
anced in their make-up. Thus, for
example, a pure green, exactly one-
half yellow, which is warm or ao-
vancing, and exactly one-nan Diue,
which is' cool or receding, is neutral.
Also, a pure violet, exactly one-half
red and one-half blue, is neutral.
Such colors seem neither to come
toward yon nor to go away from you.
Many neutral colors mat are
composed, of a large number or
mixed elements are of a dull hue,
such as some of the grays and drabs.
By no means all dull colors, how
ever, are neutral. Russet, for in
stance, is advancing because the
amount of red and orange in its
make-up far outbalances the blue
element.
One of the most useful qualities
of neutral colors is that other colors
may be placed against them with
out clashing. This makes them
valuable as backgrounds that can
easily be managed. The grays in
general, although many of them are
not strictly speaking neutral in
their composition, commonly possess
neutral qualities. Neutral-colored
walls do not b? em to come together
toward you. Their tendency, if any
thing, is to increase apparent size.
By Helen Decie
IT IS quite true that present-day
fashions appear to be designed
exclusively for slim young girls. A
woman who is not as slender as a
reed and who does not wish to make
herself conspicuous by wearing out
dated styles may become even more
grotesque by adopting the too-juve-hile
raiment- and coiffure which
serve to accentuate her years and
her size. '
A middle-agd or elderly woman
who is 60 pounds or more over nor
mal weight makes herself ridicu
lous when she wears the costume
and the curls of a flapper, as some
style slaves of grand-maternal age
have been uglifying themselves by
doing all through the now-passing
knee-skirt and bobbed-hair craze.
"When Helen of Troy has become
Helen of Avoirdupois" her keynote
of good taste In dress should be
dignified simplicity rather than the
bizarre frivolity which is becoming
only to the blossom years of girlhood.

M'CLURG CASE DROPPED
Ex-Captain in Aviation Service
Exonerated of Forgery.
Dismissal of the case against F.
S. McClur. ex-captain in the avia
tion service, charged in a federal
indictment with forgery, was or
dered yesterday by Federal Judge
Bean in instructions to Deputy
United States District Attorney
Veatch. Captain McClurg had been
under indictment for a year, and the
action of the court is held to effect
his com; lete exoneration.
The association of Captain Mc
Clurg with the Dudrey Aircraft
company led to his predicament, it
Is said. According to Deputy Veatch,
this concen in reality was a boot
legging enterprise, a fact of which
the aviat" was unaware when he
entered its employ as a pilot. The
company failed and left Captain
McClurg to face its creditors and
with a deficit in his own salary. He
cashed a check sent to the company,
applied a portion of it to his own
account and used the remainder to
defray outstanding obligations, with
the result that his employers
charged him with forgery.' C. L.
Dudrey and Oscar Lund, partners in
the aircraft corporation, are now
serving prison terms at San Diego.

DOESN'T it mean good living at low cost? Foods that
are "short" in nourishing value and "long" in waste
are never economic.
The food, Grape-Nuts, is economical to the fast serving
in the package, because every golden-crisp granule really
contributes to body-building.
Grape-Nuts offers the sturdy nutriment of wheat and
malted barley in unusually compact form a comparatively
small amount providing exceptional nourishment. The 12
ounce package contains about 16 servings costing about
one cent each.
Every bit of Grape-Nuts is real food, uniquely free from the
bulky waste found in many other food products.
Made from whole wneat flour and malted barley, Grape
Nuts has the benefit of 20 hours baking which so modifies
the starch of these grains that easy digestibility naturally
results. . '
Eaten with good milk or cream, Grape-Nuts is a complete
food, which creates energy without taking away energy.
And the gradual, daily accumulation of power is the greatest
of all food economies, sinte reserve energy is what counts
most, either in the sudden emergency or the long grind.
A food for economy a food for health!
And a food with a charm of flavor all its own.
