MODIsTEs HAVE GIVEN
Up NEEDLE FOR SWORD

Now. our erstwhile Partisan modistes
have given up the needle for the sword
and we can wear our old French
clothes of our American ones or any
thing we like for all they care, Fer
haps this is the reason for the scar
city of clothing this season. II is my
theory that the reason we are wearing
sleeveless frocks Is because French
designer WAS called to the war before
he had TO design the sleeves and
the new fad is the last word from
Paris. Indeed. may say, II IS Hail and
Farewell Let us hope that adhesive
plaster Is not a foreign product. We
need 1T badly in American just now.
OF course, the reason I'm saying such
'catty' things is because | haven't a
/ farewell missive from gay "Paree."
/ don't think that 1t is very Ameri-
can to be dependent upon anybody for
anything. Nationally speaking, this is
our time to live down our past clinging
vine tendencies. ONT only modistes
but manufacturers haze been called TO
! the coiors In Europe and We have had
a good opportunity Of becoming ae-
| quainted with the manufactures OF our
own country. Would it not be a great
thing to make Made in L. $. A. so
popular that the manufacturers who
| iVl ltaiS Win but Sp4Ett Oh StIl pre-
| servation have marked their goods
with foreign labels have to change
and put on Made in L. s. A" ones.
, Let us while We are at IT. make the
demand for goods Made in L. s A." a
J permanent demand. Let us never be
lured away by the glitter of false
gods again. Nations. like people. are
! like sheep and we will find Europeans
clamoring for our goods. too. And then
/ wouldn't 1t be great sport to be able
to say TO Paris. Il told You so"
Let us develop a national pride IN
everything Made in l. s A." Only
with this pride to back II will our
national trade mark be effective We
are proud of our great natural re-
| sources. Let us be able by the time
/ that Europe has adjusted her differ
ences and can give US her attention.
10 SHOW her our new pride in our
manufactured products. Material re-
/ sources are accidents; products and
manufactures We get by the sweat of
our national brow. Let us quit bowling

give preference and honor to things

oPpORTu NIFTY FOR AMERICAN
WOMAN TO FREE HERSELF

So, out of this nerve racking. heart
breaking war the American woman has
the opportunity TO free herself from
the European mania.
To. recur to the days of the Pilgrim
/ Fathers. without which no story is
complete, not since the days of early
settlement of our country have the
women had such n wonderful oppor-
tunity for helping home industries In
J those days they established them. The
women were In short, the home in
dustries Long since have the manu-
+ features passed out of their hand. They
have passed on with growing civiliza-
ton, not to their daughters hands but
their sons and their sons sons. And
In the place of the loom in every
modest home with the women of the
household as the manufacturers, we
hnd stupendous machinery lodged in
great factories and worked by thou
sands of men and women. The world
is q circular affair. so. in circle. It
has come back until ii is the women
of the country in whose hands the
present economic situation really rests.
Their grandmothers bore their econo-
mic responsibilities Well. But In the
generation in which We have been de-
| voting our attention to bridge whist
1--WE may have forgotten our respon-
lsiblities. We may not recognize them
but they are the same. Now there ~ a
great movement on foot. 1t is called
the Made in l. s. A.. movement. 1t is
backed by men and women whose in
lterests are patriotic, These men and
4 women are organizing in order that
4 this ~ mbol may represent excellence
and may not be the means of putting
shoddy goods on the market. The wo-
men mili he entirely willing to buy
things Made in l.. - A" and the peo-
ple who have this urvement in charge
are determined that the patriotism OF
American women shall be justified by
i getting high class, standard goods II

Made in e. S. A.. we will give pre-

the most vital point in the whole af-
fair Is that American made goods must

For some days the police pursued

The first step in my investigation
was now clear before me. 1t was nee
essary that should dismiss for the

loss Of the seal OF yespasian. All the
other circumstances in the case
