as-until August 1.-the old world did. One step, MT. Duncan said. had already been taken and that is the facilitating of South American financing by means of exchange through New York rather than through London. This kind of financing is exactly what MT. Vanderlip and his as sociates are now undertaking to perfect in South America. Another thing which is essential, if we are to take immediate advantage of our opportunities, is the creation of international exchange financed by the banks of the United States. And it was with qualification that MT. Duncan intimated that the be- ginning has now been made for the foun- dation of an international exchange of that kind.
 He is not one of those who believe that by any artificial means our merchant ma rine can be re-established. It can be re- established but not by artificial stimulus. Another essential. in his view. is the stop ping of nation wide distrust of corpo- rate aggregatoins of capital for large combinations are essential here, as they have been vital elsewhere for securing and maintaining the prosperity of the nation. MT. Duncan summed up in a few words, which have frequently been quoted in this city since he delivered his address, the counsel which he had given at some length. He said that the people of the United States must learn well the great lesson which is in the present crisis and make it their chief concern that the United States shall hereafter control the financing and distributing of it's own products.

WHY AMERICA SHOULD NOW LEAD IN BEAUTY CULTURE AND FASHIONS-PART V.

When dress art In America is so de- veloped that it is the equal of that which has been brought from Europe let us hope that American women will see the justice and advantage of adopting it. For many years this fetish for things Eu- pean has had reasonable basis young country in which the struggle for mate rial existence was the chief factor in de- velopment, was quite right in accepting artistic guidance from the Old World. But for two generations now foreign travel has been general and a certain amount of foreign education an accepted part of all American art training.
 Aside from this. all commercial design the producing of all high class goods, go to Europe, not yearly. but in some cases monthly, so closely has the connection become between the two countries. This has resulted in broad dissemination of European ideas in this country which, grafted on our American activity and en- terprise should make America the eqaul of any country in the producing of elegant and high classed goods.
 Encouragement All That Is Necessary
 AiueiicdH SIMS nave long been noted TOT their good wearing qualities and lasting oolors. They are freer from adulteration than many of the European lines. and, once the demand is created, there is no reason why American factories cannot produce fabrics in the most beautiful de- signs. And this is true of most Of the materials of which modern costumes are made up.
 Esthetic Reasons for National Dress
 There are esthetic reasons, too, why the American women would do well to en- courage a national dress art. The Amer ican woman's mode of life is different from that of the European; it is more active, freer, she has more household and business responsibilities and her dress necessarily should take on more i,rac- tical character.
 Being physically of a different type from the French woman, gowns that take this qauity into account suit her the best. and these are best furnished her in America.
 Our climate is different from that in France. We have extremes of heat and cold that call for a particular kind of costume. The French, who find ''chic'' in daring contrasts have often worn fur trimmed gowns in summer and tulle in winter to good advantage but the effect is lost here and only becomes ridiculous. These are only few of the many req sons to suppose that American stands ready and able to produce dress designs and fabric up to the highest standards of taste and fashion.

Would Discontinue Trains

Asheville, N. C., October 7.-(Special) Complete observation of all trains op- erated in North Carolina is to be made by the state corporation commission, ac- cording to announcement coming from Raleigh. This will be done with a view of determining whether or not the com mission will allow the discontinuance, for the time being of certain passenger train service Such discontinuance has been asked, but will probably not be in- sisted upon. Recently General Manager E. H. Coapman appeared before the state commission and asked to be allowed to take off<a few trains. He said, however, that the big system was not in the least pessimistic over general business condi- tions in the south. and would not insist upon the request for a discontinuance The railroad situation is not at all bad, so 1t is said. What trouble there is in revenues from passenger sources has been caused from the European war, and the cloud may pass over shortly.
