Newfoundland has always been
proud OF her separate colonial entity.
Proposals to unite with Canada have
fallen on stony soil OF opposition.
But separation entails responsibilities
and it has begun to occur to the po-
litical leaders Of that triangular is
land that If the fortunes of war went
unkindly to the allies Newfoundland
might be too tempting morsal for
a colony-hunting Germany.

bot strait. lie the islets of St Pierre

Newfoundland is not what might
be called a military province. She

ton Of her defense, while by no means

ANIERICAN-MADE FASHIONS.
(The Indianapoiis News. !


And now the MADE in America"
slogan is being applied to dressmak-
ing. An American fashion fete was
held in New York under the patron
age Of society leaders. Judging from
the photos OF the costumes exhibited
there 1t is safe to predict that II the
American woman only thought SO,
she can get as good clothes in Amer
lea as France ever dared to make.
While the Illustrations bear all the
marks Of what we are accumstomed
to regard as "style' they lack that
rather distinctively Partisan, bizarre
touch which some women seem to
craze. but which the modest woman
refrains from patronizing. The Am
erican costumes indicate a return to
sanity in dress without in the least
from the masculine viewpoint-de-
tracing from its attractiveness. The
complaint has been made that Am
erican women will not patronize home
dressmakers because they lack that
individuality in style that the French
designers have. The American de-
slgners say, in rebuttal, that they
have not been patronized and conse-
quently have not been able to demon
strate just what they can do. Now
the society leaders say that they are
going to make an effort to keep our
fashion seekers in America. This
statement should be half the battle
for the designers. Going to Paris Is
a disease. and the home designers
should have the cure.
