It bétomes effec- tive January 1. The decree merely eliminates the families and dependents of workers as a single category and places them in the same class with their pro. viders, but it was deemed significant as a possible step forward a fur. ther easing in the restrictions on bread allotments in line with the new policy to improve standards of living. The new system of rationing places industrial workers in the first category, other workers such as office employes in 'the second and children under 14 in the third, The daily allotments of two pounds of bread in the first class and one pound in the two others was not changed. At the same time teachers in fac. tory and workshop schools and first and second grade cooks and dining hall workers were transferred from the second to the first category. The new bread cards for the first three months of 1932 will be issued the first of the year, it nt SOLD SUSPENS'ON BENEFITS BRITAIN Pethick - Lawrence Says Step Has Lessened Unemployment London, Dec. 10.--While the Bri tish pound may fluctuate in value, any suggestion that it will behave like the old German mark or the Austrian krone is "utterly fantas tle," according to F. W. Pethick- Lawrence, who was Finanelal Sec- retary to the British Treasury in the Labor Government. He délivered an address recently on "How England gets on Without the Gold Standard." Mr. Pethick- Lawrence said that far from upset: ting the genéral equilibrium of af. fairs, the departure from the gold standard had lessened unemploy- ment, not forced prices upward in any marked degree and helped th- British manufacturers in the home market. Comparing Dritain's financial po- sition to that of Germany's, he pointed out that while Germany is still a great debtor nation, Britain is a great creditor nation, owning wealth abroad estimated at 20 to 25 Hillians of dollars, : Return to Gold to Be Slow "I do not th ni," Mr. Penthlck- Lawrence added, "that England Is In any hurry to go back to thé gold standard, and if she does go back, SOX 35¢ to PYJAMAS $ FOR MEN TIES 55¢ to $2.15 BELTS 50c to $2.50 SCARy> $1.00 to $5.00 SHIRTS 79c to $5.00 GLOVES $1.00 to $3.95 SANTA CLAUS -- Says -- Let Your Gifts be Necessities This Christmas Our Store is full to overflowing with Gifts that men like.

Most Englishmen think that we are much better off today in spite of our flue tuating exchange than recently when we were tied to gold.

The new polished pewter will not tarnish or corrode, and salt and pepper shakers are so treated that the salt will not affect t%e metal 4s it often did of old. The demand for pewter has grown so steadily that at present it outdistances that for silver. 'It is ta be found in all thé popular metal pleces such as tea sets, coffee sets, serving dishes, trays and lamps in Both colonial and mod: ernistic types. Old designs in the modernized metal have been adopied in some of the quaint pieces found in the shops. | But the art of the modern simplicity has also been applied to! pewter, and so we find tea servi¢ watér jugs, platters and plates, a8 well as salt and pepper shakers, the straight, plain and simple oy der of the art moderne.
