Spends Large Sum Every
Day as Resident
Buyer.
. j
oy cuwnrtu m. i nifcHMY
NEW YORK, Sept. 15.?There
Is a man in New York who knows
what you are going to wear before
you wear it, who buys it so that
you can buy it, who knows what
you-like and don't like before you
do?who keeps about two jumps
ahead of your pocketbook and
your taste in styles.
Ho is Alfred Fantl. He spends
more than .$1,000;000 a day as j
resident buyer of several hundred!
department stores and specialty,
shops scattered over the United
State. He ought tc* be?and is?
an expert on styles.
"Extremely long skirts are
merely a brief fad. Skirts are
getting shorter again?the proper
length will be aljout nine inches
from the ground.
"Women can't wear long dresses
with bobbed hair.
"Bobbed hair is here to stay;i
switches now being sold are only
temporary.
"The day of the petticoat and
shirtwaist is over permanently.
"Modern dancing has taken the
steel out. of corsets.
"Earrings will be popula'r a
long time. Few women know how
to choose the correct barrings; i
short ones are the better.
"Dresses with capes and coats
have the call over suits." !
rami sayB ne Knows tnese
things, just as he knows about
prosperity and dull times?by the
temper of the enormous buying
public he represents.
With a corps of expert buyers.
Fantl has an organization that
dLrectly or indirectly handled
$411,000,000 in merchandise purchased
last year. ,His own buyers
alone bought $50,000,000 worth, in
addition to the purchasing power
the organization represents.
"When you buy for retail stores
you have your finger on the public's
prosperity pulse," says Fanlt
"Resident buying is a new business,
a development of the last
few years.
"More and more merchants are
coordinating their buying, closely
following our system in which
th0 enormous purchasing power
of chain store method cuts down
costs."
Filntl predicts a steady decrease
of retail prices during the next!
five years. He says business con-|
ditions throughout the country
are improving, with only sporadic
injury from the coal and railroad
Strikes.
"People are down to a better
merchandising level," he said.
"During "our war prosperity we
bad a luxury splurge; now ibere
is a larger luxury class, and cartain
things that used to be luxuries
are now considered nec-ssitioa
?such as silk stockings?but generally
people are buying a better
class of goods."
-Ninety-five per cent of th4
goods FantL's. corps buys is for
women. Here's the way hc divides
up the buying dons by women.
40 per cent dry goods, cotton
goods and piece goods.
15 per cent hosiery and underwear.
:<0 per cont ready-to-wear clothing
1? per cent not'ons and fancy
poods.

w>7i. Fantl. "It la almost a natUicn-atica
calculation. D'tf-rent

:ho taking up ot a new are first
by what we call Class A stylists,
tile advent of mass buying In this
style, the progress of the Class A
woman to something new, and eo
on.
"Men's styles change very little,
though there are fads. Men are
vain enough, but one of their big
troubles is that they know little
about color combinations.
"The vainest woman Is the
stout woman. Women generally
are going to cling to bobbed hair
and Bhort skirts because these
things add to their youth and
looks; they will prevail no matter
what manufacturers try. to sell
them."
Fantl Is 56 and came to America
from Czceho-Slovakla 117 yeara
ago. He served a long apprenticeship
In department stone and
was one ot the pioneers In reeldent
buying, lie regards Is as a
science as well as a business.
CLOSE FOR FUNERAL
'The Bethlehem Coal Co., at Barrackvllle,
shut down Its mines yesterday
afternoon and all the employees
some 300 In number attended
the funeral of Dave Kostur,
who was killed by a fall of slate In
the mines on September 12. The
tuneral was held yesterday afternoon
from the boarding house,
where the man resided, and was
In charga of the United Mine Workers
of America. Burial wan made
in Holy Cross Cemetery by Carpenter'&

Alter eignt years, HaKen Jor
gensen, assistant commissioner o
the Copenhagen police has per
fected a method of translating thi
loops and whorls of flnger-prints
as well as the facial and physlca
characteristics, Into numerals.
You don't hare to be an identl
fication expert to see what tha
means. Suppose you were convict
ed of a crime. Your flnger-print
and Bertlllon measurements wouli
be taken in the regulation way
Then, by the Jorgensen system
the results could be reduced to i
series ot about 20 numerals. Yoi
would be the only person In thi
world who would exactly mate!
those figures; and inversely, thi
figures would be the only one
which would exactly match you.
Your name and numbers couli
be listed In a crook's directory
copies of which could be kept li
every police station on earth. Ni
alias, no change In appearance, ni
passing of the year, would enabli
you to conceal your identity fron
any police department whlcl
found It necessary to check you

against your numerical rating, o:
vice versa. A telegram from thi
Interested department wouli

"This is an auxiliary to th

she. "It would not replace pres

making it necessary to mail actua

SQUARE DEAL FOR
UNFORTUNATE KIDS
WASHINGTON, Sept.. 15.A
square deal for the 32,000 chl)
dren who are born out of wedlocl
in the United States each year!
That is the aim of a propose.
Uniform state law covering illegi

Prof. Ernest Freund of th
University of Chicago, and chair
man of the committee on \a\
standardization for the Unite)
States Children's Bureau, is i
leader in this move to lessen th
burden of both the unweddei
mother and her offspring.
The proposed law places upo
both parents ot a child born ou
of wedlock the obligation ot edu
cation and support.
8tato Laws Needed
"This plan," says Prof. Freund
"comes as a result ot our feelini
that It is both Impracticable, a
well as beyond the scope of cor
gressional legislation for the fed
eral government to support thes
children. Such protection must b
insured by state laws.
"Our committee has made it
recommendations and coir(aij3
sloners of all states in turn hav
brought their findings from thi
report to their respective law
making bodies.
"The law in question is not si
drastic as the Castberg law o

the futuro of the child. Our work
