Of course. there are moro than FIVE.

For an American housewife to buy
American-made goods when the choice
lies between the homemade and an
imported product will not only be
good patriotism, but good business.
Washington commercial dealers say.
Willis>n c. Shaw, head Of a large
Washington jewelry firm. would educate
the American public to a proper appre-
citation. not alone of the intrinsic worth
OF American manufactured jcwelTy and
silverware. but of the art displayed in
the creation OF such wares. The prod

domestic manufacturers, ne declares,

The American watch said Mr.:
Shaw. fis superior when compared
dollar for dollar value to any watch
produced. The merchant may not in
every instance say this. but the man
at the bench will tell you that the
American watch ~ easier 10 keep in
repair and more reliable than foreign
made watches. In artigtic decoration of
the cases tho foreigners can produce
more elaborate designs. but they can
not make works that will stand the
tests to which an American 'Sdtch may
be put. The result is that American
watches are sold all over the world.
The silverware produced in this
country is likewise the equal In quality
of any produced elsewhere. The reason
that We do not sell more domestic sill
ve-ware in this country is that the con-
suming public labors under the impress
sion that when seeking for art in design
one must go abroad.

The need of funds is shown forcibly
in the present condition OF that
building. There Is only the most
meager equipment No heat was sup
piled during the past winter. Des-
pite these handicaps more than 800
boys took advantage OF the room for
games of all sorts.
In 1911 kindergarten was opened
This was taught bv students OF Rust
Hall. 1t was continued on that basis
until the Montessori Association in
troduced its first free Nontessori

attracted wide attention because OF
its success with a different type of
children from those with whom the
Montessori methods had previously
been used.

So broad is its scope ana so

the life in its community, that the
Qualifications of an Institution like
fte Friendship House are hard TO
f0uoU.
II is neighborhood clubhouse.
But more than that it serpes many
rsiehbors in times of stress, it IS a
rlaee of advice and counsel, and its
organized clubs and classes include
rnanv activities that otherwise
could not be pursuer BY folks OF its
Heighborhood.
Housed in historic building, de-
psLoping in many directions, adjust

BY ]. R. HILDEBRAND.
Persons who like to classify,
codify. define, and enumerate each
Institution. then shunt it off to its
proper pigeonhole are apt to have
trouble in trying TO catalogue a
settlement house. For its activ-
tiles are as varied as the complex
processes of everyday living, and
this very complexity is the best
evidence that a settlement is a
part OF the tangled skein OF life
that lies about il.
All that is why II is hard to
compress the daily service and
broad usefulness of a settlement
like Friendship House into an
annual report, or into a newspaper
column.

the first free Montessor! School in
the United States was opened in No

The settlement work had its begin

Despite the notable work done h,,
the Settlement House its income nov
is frequently short OF the demsnds
made upon II. This summer II w
deemed worth while to keep omen
though money had to be borrowed for
that purpose, and the house nou,
faces a debt of 500 for its services
performed during the warm months
In 1853 the work was reorganized
under the name of Friendship House
Funds then were raised for the sun
port Of a salaried worker. Miss
Lydia A. II. Burklin was placed in

"Made in America"

Washington business men will unite in helping to
make that slogan famous. For years the "Made in Ger
many inscription has been national advertisement for
the business of that nation. Other nations in lesser de-
gree have made their national trademark business asset
From on if Washington business men, in conjunction
with others all over the country can help the idea, the
"Made in America" phrase will be commercial asset.
Though Washington is not an industrial center the
Capitals business assert that their response to the
onwide movement to boostAmercan products will reflect
prosperity here besides having obvious patriotic value.
Now these point out with the foreign factories badly
