This may bring the men to time when they re told, in effect, that it is a lack of brains which makes 1; em load themselves down with clothing in the hot months. “Men are such slaves to fashion they dare not break the rules of the 01d funereal ideas of clothing. So that a foolish male carries eight pounds six ounces of clothing, while the female of the species goes about coolly in two pounds and ten ounces of clothing. The weight of men’s clothes is thus about three times that of women’s. The man of brains is grossly over-clad.” The Kitchener Record man is all ready to fall in line with the new reform, but the difficulty he sees is in finding some man to start the style, whatever it may be. He says: “The subject of men’s clothing crops up periodically. The most conservative wearer of male attire must ad- mit that there are many improvements that could be made but the question is ‘Who is going to make ’em? Wives jibe at their husbands for being slaves to custom and the custom tailor. But if by any chance one of the poor critters decides to make a departure fromthe con- ventional and don a thin pair of trousers, or doffs his uncomfortable collar and tie, friend wife is the very . first to how]. out in protest? 1 SO what is the pOor man to do? Down in Windsor they won’t let a man go into the dining room of a popular hotel unless he is wearing his coat. Occasionally in his own home a man gets rid of his coat, but he has to hurry it on aâ€" gain whenever anyone comes in. Probably the new style will have to be introduced by some single man. At the same time the woman seem to get away with anything. Out in Winnipeg a magistrate dismissed amid laughter a complaint against four girls who wore whoopee suits in loud colors, and this leads the Vancouver Sun to pass the folloWing comment: I “Not many years ago women were slaves to clothes. Now they have mastered them, made them light, cool and sensible. They are several eons ahead of the men. Women’s light summer attire weighs oneâ€"seventh that of men. A woman can dress in about three motions while a man fastens 8 of his twenty or thirty buttons most of which should be abolished, since they are mere survivals from military uniforms.” Thus the Sun man introduces the custom, for the Stratford Beaconâ€"Herald man who has just returned from the continent and who, therefore speaks with more or less authority says: , “It all depends on what we have been accustomed to. In Vienna it is not at all unusual to find middleâ€" aged and younger men with trousers after the style of Boy Scouts, at least six inches above the knee. Legs are bare and brown. The top part of the garment is a sleeveless jacket. Thus they go about the day's busiâ€" ness. In the same city the housewife on the way to the market wears no stockings at all.” If Brother Kennedy thinks he is springing something new by commenting upon stockingless legs, he is mistaken, for since he went’away many of the young girls of this sectâ€" ion at least' have adopted the habit. Vienna has nothing on us in that respect. Now if the men will ‘have the cour- age to adopt the short trousers, things will be a lot more comfortable all round. ' They both created somewhat of a mild sensation, and now the editors of the country supported by the sentiment of all sensibleâ€"minded men are starting a movement for reâ€" form in men’s dress. The St. Thomas Times-Journal discusses the relative weight of men’s and women’s clothing in a very convincing manner thus: ‘ Men often look down with disdain on the characteristic conversations of the fair sex, but many a man is falling into the same habit during the heat of the present summer. We have before us clippings of four editorials which have ap- peared recently in the press of the country. All dealing with the question of men’s clothes. A couple of men one in Toronto and another in Hamilton, started the discussion by appearing on the streets, one in “skirts” and the other in pyjamas. ' It has been said that when women get together their conversation is almost entirely confined to clothes or menâ€" and for fear this may lead to a feeling of undue importance on the part of the male sex, it should be added that of the two subjects the clothes are the most popular. ‘ Such a reform might have farâ€"reaching effecxs. The stocking manufacturers, the corset manufacturers, the hair pin manufacturers, and the makers of several other dis- carded bits of women’s attire are complaining seriously a- bout the lack of business in these days. If the men start out to disrupt trade in like manner the thing may really be- come serious. However, there would be less discomfort, and manufacturers in this country have the knack of suit- ing their production to the needs of the hour. Now, who’s the first man to start it? HOW’S THE CROP? The figures of Canada’s trade for the last four months show how much of the trade of Canada depends upon the wheat production of the Dominion. For years, this coun- try has been able to show a favorable trade balance, al- though it has diminished somewhat in the last year or two. So far in the present fiscal year, however, the balance of trade has been against this country, and the chiei cause in the decrease is the exports of wheat. Wheat exports have decreased by341.000,000, and the result is that Canada’s trade balance has turned over to the wrong side by a sum only slightly over that amount. [AGE Two For the first time in years, Canada’s export trade has shown a decrease over the previous year But this is not so unsatisfactory a condition as it seems at first sight, for although wheat exports have declined, the exports of the products of the manufacturing industries have increased. Newsprint exports have increased by over $4,000,000, and products of th Newsprint ex; exports of ant Thus it will be not available t products of th 1 i i F V ?

Oftimes, observers from outside see things, and make observations which are not apparent to the people living with these things, and can thus point to a condition which is much more favorable than any Canadians are Willing to admit. ' An instance of this is found in a brief paragraph in an American business magazine: The writer of the para- graph apparently has studied Canadian conditions to some purpose, and this is what he says :â€" “Canada owns a million cars, a million and a third telephones.
