THE THINGS We THINK WE NEED.

No little mental distress has been
caused over the announcement yes
terday of the shortage of three COM
moditia because of the war-blaek
buttons, bromide and platinum. Doc
tors and druggists are wondering
what they will do when the drug so
needful in treating nervous disorders
is no longer to be had. Manufaetur-
ers of fine jewelry even fear that they
will have to discontinue work for a
time after January 1. And the men
of the land have reason to grow ner-
vous, for it may be that shortly they
will have to wear white bone buttons
on their suits. So it is Save your
old buttons" and get out the button
box" if you don't want this calamity
to overtake you. 1t is hard to think
of many things that the average male
would be less eager to do than to

Precious few of the things that We
think we need are really absolutely
essential, yet just because these arc
imagined necessities does not, make
them any the more distressing or up

in few years, that platinum has been
used at all extensively for setting dia-
monds. But now that fashionable
women have discarded gold settings
for diamonds for the time being the
platinum shortage may cause no lit

ionable woman who have to pay more
for their settings or who have even

now engaged in fine jewelry manu-
facture who may be thrown out Of
employment for the time being.

But women are really no more to
blame than men. In fact, women are
more adaptable in the matter Of
changing their taste to suit the needs
Of manufacture than are the men Of
the land. 1t is said that the reason
why. since the war. light uppers have
beer the fashion in women's footwear
was because of the shortage of dark
leather and kid. The reason for the
vogue for khaki color last winter.
which was sometimes said to be a
tribute to the soldiers who wore uni
forms of that shade, was in reality
simply the outcome Of the dye short
age situation.
So women may adapt themselves
to the platinum shortage. They may
go back to gold. But who imagines
that the men of the land could be in
duced to wear white bone buttons
where they would show? No one!,
