American STYLES,

American modistes bring back word from
Europe that no dress styles are to be available
for time In Paris. which ought 10 set Amer
leans TO thinking more seriously on this subject
than they are accustomed to. Why continue
the foolish and costly habit OF going abroad for
fashions in the first place? Why not create
and maintain our own styles? Imagine Amer
leans adopting European methods and manners
OF running their government. or their private
business enterprises, or even borrowing foreign
social amenities. Yet why Is the latter more
lncongruous than for us to import foreign
styles OF dress?
westward the star OF empire has taken its
flight in nearly everything but the idiosyncra-
cies of dress. For these the course of progress
Is reversed and progressive, ingenious Ameri-
cans persist in going back to the old world. We
lead in industry and commerce of all sorts
even In invention, and are forging TO the front
In art and literature Now in the vortex of war
we are left of all the nations to supply the world
with the necessities Of life. And yet we whimper
because war has temporarily dethroned our for
eign gods of fashion and tied up the foreign silk
and linen and lace industries wondering what
on earth we shall do.
What an absurdity. when we come to think
of II as 1t is. Why not turn this so-called sacri
flee TO practical service. rise in our American
dignity and 80 to making and maintaining
American styles that shall be more in keeping
with everything else American. while at the
same time saving us lot of money heretofore
needlessly turned over as velvet" to the for
eisn modistes. The exigencies of the war, we
think will curtail American travel abroad for
time, to the advantage OF our own land and
people, who may then do more travelling In
their own country. Yet European travel Is a
much more tangible benefit to Americans than

tase OF the present situation and go to making

A Useful Vice President.

II am not an uplifter." says Vice President
Marshall. The streets OF Jerusalem are kept
clean by every man sweeping in front OF his
own door. believe in keeping myself straight
first"
To those who see only the quaint side OF this
philosophy, we commend the words spoken from
the Mount good many centuries ago about
beholding the mote in another-s eye without
perceiving the beam in ones own eye. II is
fundamental doctrine. AS the vice president again
wisely says, There Is too much treating OF
symptoms In this country. We are willing TO re-
lieve sickness and distress, but let the causes
remain" more willing to make a law for the
other fellow than ourselves
The woods are full OF uplifters and woe to
the man who refuses to be uplifted by them,
at 80 much per lift. At once he finds himself
under the ban Of hystericsl condemnation as
an 'old fogy," "reactionary," dangerous male
factor" and lot of other slushy terms coined
by skillful word jugglers to fit the occasion. In
the meantime, this same old fundamental phil
osophy by which the world has lived all these
ages, Is either ignored or forgotten, while, again
quoting the vice president "these reformers
find some crying need or crying shame or
ganize a society for protection or suppression
elect board OF directors and appoint a secre-
tary and then go down to the legislature to get
an appropriation to pay the salaries Of the sec
rotary and the board"
Truly. Mr.. Marshall has shown us that a
vice president may become a very useful as
we'll as ornamental servant Of the people What
he has said needed saying and he has said II
very effectually.
