Sees Great Waste. ,"In the manufacture and sale of ! ladies' hats, shoes and millinery," said Mr. Wallace, "there is great waste through changing styles. Who is responsible? The designer, the manufacturer and the dealer will tell you that the women demand radical and frequent changes. The women will earnestly insist that she would be content to wear last year's dress if it were not out of style. "A prominent locomotive builder was able to build 163 standard designed locomotives in five weeks, while it was able to produce only 104 loco motives of industrial design in the same period. A loss in production due to lack of standardization this element of waste is occurring in every industry. iwenty-rive per cent re duction in production possibility oc curred in every man's ready-made clothing plant investigated that adopted slight change in the cut of th lapel of the coat.

Respect of the law and opposition to radicalism were urged upon Americans Monday night by Vice-President Calvin Coolidge in an address at the 125th anniversary celebration of the New York Commercial. Any class or organization, he said, undertaking to obtain for itself privileges not open to any other class or organization was a detriment to American institutions and a menace to American liberty. "There is a right of contract of agreement and association among industrials which is protected so long as the end sought is equal justice," he continued. "Any effort which contemplates coercion and force is an interference with our conception of American liberty and is justly -denounced by American law. It is true that we hold Jo the theory of equality, not of character or possession, but equality of opportunity and equality before the law. Guarantees Opportunity "This does not mean that the government guarantees any standard of achievement to its citizens, but that in its dealings with them it will grant to all an opportunity to be heard and the right to a decision based on the evidence and the law, without favor and without prejudice. It is the belief of an American that he creates opportunity, that his achievement, his destiny, his greatness, lie not in others, but in himself. "There is need to resist radicalism, not because it may overthrow the government, but because it is a disturbing and wasteful element in society." "This does not mean resistance to the growth and expansion of our constitution, but it does represent resist ance to any change in its underlying principles." The vice-president asserted that the liberty given to all under the constitution was not license, but the full est freedom of individual thought and action, limited by a like freedom of thought and action on the part of others.

Repeated efforts of the Rote Fahne, Berlin organ of the soviet, to incite German workmen to another revolt against the government have caused conservative newspapers to protest to the administration against the continued publication of the paper as inimical to law and order. The Rote Fahne has been suppress ed a number of times, some of its issues Confiscated, part of its presses taken away by the authorities, but it has always been able to issue sue ceeding editions in a manner which its opponents assert is confusing and mysterious. Since the March uprising in Middle Germany, the Rote Fahne has con ducted a campaign against the govern ment and the special courts which President Ebert appointed to try the workmen who raised the red flag in Saxony and the Ruhr. It has urged the workmen toyprepare for another uprising, which it has recently said should now be launched. AUTOMODILES FIGURE IN TRAFFIC MIX-UP Serious injury, if not death, narrow. ly was averted by a small boy riding a Dicycie, Tuesday morning, when three automobiles figured in a near collision at Ninth and rorth A streets. A car driven by James Harrington ran onto the sidewalk and into an iron fence at the northwest corner of the intersection to avoid collision, and a delivery car belonging to Hodgin's grocery was turned into a tree at the same point to escape striking the Harrington car. No one was injured. Harrington was going north on North Ninth street; Hodgin's delivery car was coming south on North Ninth street and a car driven by Roy Babylon had just turned north on Ninth street off A street. Probably believing that he was going to 6trike one of the cars, Harrington turned sharply to the left and ran into the iron fence. The driver of the Hodgin car evidently, believing his car , would strike the Harrington car which darted in front of him, .turned to his right, striking a tree. Babylon's car did not figure in the collisions. .Both cars were damaged slightly.- The rear wheel of the boy's bicycle was smashed.

LIQUOR CONSPIRACY CASES ARE DEFERRED

. UNTIL FALL TERM (By Associated. Press) f INDIANAPOLIS, May 24.-None i the big liquor conspiracy cases pend ins in the federal court here againsl several score of South Bend. Gary, East Chicago. Muncie and Logan port residents will be tried before fall, ac cording to an announcement today ol District Attorney Frederick Van Nuys who has charge of the prosecution. The petit jury, however, has been called to meet here one week from today, but its time is expected to be occupied in disposing of more than a half score cases in which the men who pleaded not guilty are in jail awaiting action in their cases. Plans for the jurys work next week, include the disposition of three cases a day during the first half of the week. The remainder of the week, it is planned, will be used in deciding what shall be done with many automobiles seized by the federal authorities in their attempts to block whiskey runners. In each of the five big cases, in which several prominent citizens. Including public officials, are charged with attempting to beat the prohibition law, the defendants awaiting trial are at liberty under bond. This also is true of those who pleaded guilty, but whose sentence was deferred pending the outcome of the trials of their alleged conspirators. Judge Ferdinand A. Geiger. of Milwaukee, will preside at the trials next week, during which he contemplates the completion of his work in the court here, which began recently when Judge A B. Anderson became sick. Although Judge Anderson is well on the way to recovery, according to his friends, it is not expected that he will hold court until the fall. The ' customary summer recess of the court will intervene before the fall term opens, probably with the trials of the liquor conspiracy cases.

"After meeting men and women prominent in science, politics and business, I return to Europe with every confidence in the resolution expressed by Americans that the United -Stateswill share its efforts to establish a world peace on a solid and equitable basis. That is to say, so that France and the allies will not be called upon to undergo the ruinous consequences of a war launched by the enemy of our civilization.
