RUHR PROBLEM FROM WORKERS’ VIEWPOINT The Invasion Was Opposed By French .Federated Trade Unions, Says Writer v'j ,■ By ETHEL M.

Knowing this fact, it is a safe guess (that the labor movement of France, as • well as the labor movement of Ger many, which . has cabled its appeal to the American Congress, would welcome mediation by the United States govern ment in ,the present critical situation ' in the Ruhr. > !

Count Into Millions .' I had a long talk with Herr Grass vniann, acting president of the German Federation of Trade Unions, who is one of the signers of the appeal to the American Congress, and with Herr Klftoll, the general secretary. Their organization is the largest of the four that have signed the appeal to Ameri ca, numbering ^boiit eight million members organized in local and nation al’unions almost exactly as the Amer ican Federation of Labor is organized1 —printers, carpenters, miners, rail road men, textile workers, metal work ers, and so on. i The Federation of Clerical Employes ■ i ie another'large organisation of the rfon-sectarian unions, |ind with the for Corns V Everybody, everywhere needs to know what millions of folks have already learned about 5 • I ^_L 1_> "VI' ' "Gcls-It," the guaranteed painless com and callous remover.

By MARIAN HALE Are we due for revival of the hoop skirt? , And the bustle? Is the tight bodice coining back? Not many people now living can re member so far in the past as hoops. The bustle, however, is recalled by merely rather elderly folk. The tight bodice is within the recol lection of those hardly yet middle aged. Indications are that we are going to have the tight bodice with us again. The busfle is something more than a possibility. The hoop skirt, perhaps. Looks Like It At a recent ball in New York a fashionable society girl appeared in a gown that reproduced the style of 1870 in all its details. A smart designer is bringout out taf feta frocks with back trimming that strongly suggests the bustle. ( As to tight bodies, fashion author ities won’t oommit themselves, so X called on Mrs. M. L. Thompson, who conducts a school for corset fitters, and a^ked her if stiff cosets are coming into style again. "Stiff one, no,” (she said, "but cor sets, yes indeed. , "Women positively' are going b^ok to corsets, especially 'as soon as they realize what going without them is do ing to their figures. .“A good figure is the basis of every costume. Properly corseted in the new light materials, sparsely boned, women can w;ear whatever gowns they choose. They can return to basques or to the crinoline of former days without dis coptfort, because the modern corset giVes slenderness without distorting the form. "In fact, to achieve the desired un corseted effect of'today, it is necessary to wear a corset. I ' Nut a Statue "A woman is not a marble statue. The mbst perfect figures have bumps and imperfections which only a corset can conceal.” > What’s more, costume plays are all the rage on Broadway just now. They show women in every, type of gown, from 1300 A. D. to the present day, so we actually can see how women have looked through the ages, and draw our own conclusions. Judging from the exclamations of admiration and the ap plause which greet the beruffled, crino lined costumes of the Victorian period there’s a considerable desire on wom en’s part to return to them. ’’Styles,”' remarked Mrs. Thompson, "travel in cycles, you know. "When the psychological time for the reappearance, say, of bustles comes, there’ll be no way of preventing them. "But whether or not that time’s come, I can’t tell—who can?’’ Who, indeed? But—be prepared! » Christian Trade Unions and the Liber als, easily make up in membership 12,000,000 men and women. There is no other such representative body in I Germany—probably not in the world. Certainly no other labor movement so large or well-knit, or representing so large a per cent of the population of j any country Beset On Every Hand And they are" a political unit! That is the most important thihg about them just now—they are the republi | can forces of Germany, the bulwark, of [ the German democracy. They are the ! people who overthrew the kaiser. It was their revolution—and a bloodless one, let it be remembered to their credit. But ever since, they have been beset by enemies of the republic on either hand—the Monarchists on th* right, the Communists on ' their left, these two extremes as usual playing., blindly or unscrupulously into each! other’s Aands. Had the trade unions not buttressed the Center the German republic would have given way to an archy months ago. That is the great reason why the message to7 the American Congress is i lo important. It is the voice of dem ocratic Germany—^Jhe Germany that should not only be allowed but helped to survive. 1 . l_;_ —— - ' | Columbus County Cuts Rate On Typhoid Fever (Special te'The Star) WHITEVILLE, March 3.—Dr. Floyd Johnson, county health officer of Co lumbus county .announces that there have been only 16 cases of typhoid fe-' ver in the county during the past year, and two dbaths; a result due in great part to the thorough methods adopted by the county board, which plans still more thorough work for this year. The second week of civil court finds the docket reasonably clear, which is not always the case. A conference was held Monday be tween the building committee of the new school building, the architect, Mr. Boney, the superintendent- Mr. Moak,' and Mr. Dosier, who lsiiistalling the heating plant. Final details relating to the building :were settled,, and it seems sure that within the next two weeks the building will be ready for occupancy. Some essential material having gone astray at the last moment has been the cause of the final delay. Judge Walter Neal To Succeed Pearsall RALEIGH, March 3.—Judge 'Walter H. Neal, of Laurlnburg, has been ap-f pointed by Governor. Cameron Morris on to succeed Colonel P. M. Pearsall, of New Bern, deceased, as chairman of the state board of elections.

FIRE ■ , BONDS LIABILITY BURGLAR! , ..... i . ;jj. /• ; 'lUSil TRADE RECORD OUR CORN EXPORTS MA KE NEW HIGH RECORD Exports of corn from the United States in the calendar year 1922 made a new high record when' considered by the number of dollars which they brought to the American farmer. The Trade Record of the National City Bank of New York has issued figures showing' that for the first time in the history of our exports, the v^lue of the corn exported crossed the hundred mil lion dollar line. For the year ending with December. 1922, the value was $115*097,000 against a former high rec ord of $92,767,000 .in the calendar year 1921. If we add to this the $7,000,000 worth of corn meal and other foodstuffs prepared from corn the $8,000,000 worth of corn starch, the $6,000,000 worth of corn syrup sometimes designated as "glucose,” the half ..million dollars worth of corn oil and cake, the 1922 ex ports of the products of .our corn fields would total nearly $150,000,000. The value of American cornxdxoorted dur ing the last decade aggregate? consid erably more than a half billion dollars, j an average of about $50,000,000 a year, while the 1922 total ,as already indicat ed, exceeds $100,000,000, and If we add the corn "by-products” the tot^l will approximate $150,000,000. This increase of $23,000,000 In the value of our corn exports in the, calen dar year 1922,. when compared with the former high record year, occurs chiefly in movements to Europe. To Germany alone the exports of last year were nearly *22,000,000 in value against''ia little more than *10,000,000 In the pre ceding year; to the United Kingdom *21,000,000, against *12,000.000 in the preceding year;, to .Netherlands nearly *16,000,000 against less than *14,000,000 In 192i; to Prance nearly *3,000,000. against only a half million1 in 1921; while Belgium Italy, Spain, Norway, European Russia and the Ukraine also showeid increases in the value of their takings of this big American product, corn. In fact, nearly three-fourtjhs of the corn exports of this new high rec ord year went to Europe, the remainder chiefly to Canada, Mexico and Cuba. This increase in the European taste for corn is especially interesting to us of the United States because of the fact that v e produce more than three fourths of the corn of the world, and our possibilities in that line are almost unlimited. In fact ,our corn cron in the latest year for which world statis tics are available, the calendar year 1921, Was, in round tertns 80 per cent of the world’s production. Argentina is next in rank to the United States as a corn 'producer, but her total output is in fact less than one-tenth that of the United, States, her 1921 crop having totaled 231,000 000 bushels against 3, 080,000,000 in the United States. • Ru mania produces about 100,000,000 bush els a year, and Italy about 90,000,000, DON’T ENVY THE OTHER MAN’S CLEAN SUIT You can always wear clean clothes I -yourself if .you place your garments | ^ In our capable hands for dry cleaning.
