clnred here today. His speech, dellv
crcd iu connection with a welcotrle horaif
celebration for Vnr veterans, wag one ot
those planned by several senators la.
nn attempt to offset President Wilson's
"swing around the circle."
The New York senntor declared that
official Washington already has had a
taste of the possible effect, of ratifica
tion. , "Some of the adopted sons of Amcr
icn," he snld, "act ns if the treaty were
not actually In force, nnd groups of
them have appeared before the foreign
relations: committee of the Senate de
manding to be heard on one thing or
nnother affecting their countries. Did
tliey come before the Senntc as United

Do not blame your dealer if be pannot supply
you promptly with Phoenix Silk Hosiery.
. He is doin& his level best to keep stocks
complete.
But, the demand for this famous hosiery far
outstrips our production. Hence, we ask the
millions of loyal Phoenix wearers to be
patient.
6 Plus
rS
We will not break our time-honored quality traditions
by using ordinary machinery and materials just to in
crease production. This would not give you the
hosiery you have learned to expect from Phoenix the
kind that gives almost unbelievable service combined
with unusual elegance.
Our exacting mechanical requirements are ,
difficult to meet quickly under present condi
tions; we prefer to go slowly which means
you may have to wait a little longer than
usual for your share of Phoenix.
So we repeat: Do not blame your dealer. Be patient.
