Originality Found
In American Goods
Superiority of Products Proved by Manner in Which
Foreign Fields Are Being Invaded, Says PIT.
Hall-Favors Distinctive Stamp.
"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, 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 the
tionwde movement to boost American products will reflect
prosperity here besides having an obvious patriotic value
Now these point out with the foreign factories badly
crippled by the war; is the time to make American products
known.
For an American housewife to buy American-made
goods when the choice lies between the homemade and
imported product will not only be good patriotism but
good business, Washington commercial dealers say.

BORDEAUX. Sept. 15.--Denlaring

Opinion in Italy says the deputy,

that Italy must absolutely separate
her policy and destiny from the triple

United action with the triple en-

ASKS COURT TO SAVE
HISTORIC HOME
Papagos Indians Say Santa
Rosa Exists From Time I'M
memorial.

A tale of lowly Indians oppression
, by the white man, and q tribes Ia g
| stand to preserve its historic home
Is unfolded to prevent Franklin X
j Lane. Secretary OF the Interior. and
Clay Tallman. Commissioner of the
General Land Office. from Offering
portions of the old town for entry
as part of the public domain.
From time immemorial and since
before the time of the first dis
coveries of the Spanish explorers in
America. and for more than 800 years
the town of Santa Rosa has existed
as a town composed of and inhabited
and in accordance with the ancient
and immemorial customs of its in
habitants,' says the petition, which
was filed through Attorney Henry p.
Blair.
1t is urged that the crown of Spain.
during all it's sovereignty over the
territory, which is known as the
"Gadsden Purchase" recognized the
ownership of the land by the Papagos.
as subsequently did the Mexican gov
ernment
The assertion is made that the
Papagos have maintained a high de-
gree of civilization in contrast with
the savage Indians, or "Indios bar
baros." although they have always
defended their town from the attacks
of the Apaches and other savage
tribes. They have never waged war
on white settlers. nor rebeIled against
established government" saws the
petition. but have been industrious
tillers Of the soil and herdsmen.
protest made to Secretary Lane
last May against the granting of
patents to whites has been Ignored.
according to the petition. so relief
from the courts is the only resort
left in an effort to protect the his
toric town from civilizations advance

For many years. in fact, until COM
paratively recently, America imported
the greater part of the underwear.
consumed in this country; today the
merchants of this country are handling
very little imported goods in these
lines" said Philip T. Hail. head Of a
mems furnishing store.
This is due to the fact that the
American manufacturers have far out
stripped their foreign competitors.
They have not only driven them from
the domestic field, but have invaded
foreign markets and are now selling
much goods abroad. The reason is that
our underwear and neckwear are su-
rerior to the majority of similar for
-eign products, while in the hosiery lines
there Is no comparison when comfort
and wear are considered.
When the American manufacturer
determines to compete with the for
eiSner. his originality AMI adaptability
soon enable him to produce product
that is equally as good as that with
which he is forced to contend in the
foreign markets.
In several lines the lack Of dyes
las handicapped the American pro-
Queer. but there is no apparent reason
why this condition should continue, and
! have nc loubt but that the inability
to secure the foreign materials will lead
shortly to a remadying If this situation.
