Rocky Ford enterprise., 1916-03-17

According to Charles Ware Of Chicago.
vice president of the National Analine &
Chemical company. the American manu-
facturer is the tragic victim Of the COM
bination of war and tariffs. while the
patient plodding consumer has been made
his mate in misery.
"Up to the breaking out OF the Euro
pean war 80 per cent Of the dye stuffs
used by American manufacturers were
made in Germany. this country supplying
but 20 per cent" said Mr.. Ware. Before
the war the domestic analine industry
amounted to but 25.ooo.ooo. Yet
everything affecting domestic life includes
analine dyes.
ITO be sure. we have all the original
materials for the manuf acture Of all the
analine dyes we can use. but, like many
other OF our natural resources. we had
left the raw analine materials alone be-
cause we could buy them so much cheap
er from Germany.
Under tho circumstances the American
manufacturer has done well in his effort
to increase the product. This country
should so bulwark itself with protective
laws that the future will find US independ-
ent Of Germany or any other country
where labor is cheap and free trade the
rule. The shortest cut to this state OF
affairs is found in the recommendation Of
the New York section of the American
Chemical societies to the ways and means
committee of congress and embodied in
the Hill bill which provides an indueement
for American capitalists to go ahead and
manufacture the materials that are need
ed.
'lf the Hill bill passes. the chemical
works of this country are committed to
double their capacity and develop our
great natural resources.
I'VE must have assurance Of additional
protection if we are to meet the compe.
ton offered by Germany.
"One of the questions asked more then
any other is, What is the matter with
American dye stuff?' Nothing is the mat
ter with American dye stuff. We can
make any color made over there just as
good as they make. barring their patented
eolors. when comparisons are made as to
class of material.
"Sinee the war we have been eonsery-
ing our chemicals. The large users Of
dye stuffs nave been so bumped during
the war that they are now solidly behind
the movement crystallzsd in the Hill bill.
When the war is ended the analine dye
business will be IN our hands.
1.-The soaring of prices in dye stuff is
not due to greed on the part Of American
manufacturers. but to the chance speeu-
lators saw to MAKE large fortunes out of
foreign materials they had on hand.
when one realizes how intimately the
analine dye business affects every mem-
Der of every family in America it is
wonder that the influence Of all the people
is not directed on congress for the pas
sage Of the Hill bill.
Thousands Of men have been thrown

MORE SUNDAY BLAzeS

DR.. Kelloee's Home Scorched, Barns
and Outbuildines Destroyed by
Two Fires
If there is any truth in the oft
repeated assertion that fires take
place in sequence residents of
this city may have reason to hope
that the fire fiend may be laid for
a time, for two fires upon two
Sundays surely creates sequence
that should not be broken because
of it's unusually.
Last Sundays blazes were
peculiarly damaging to alley
buildings and tho destructive up
on this sort of property were not
SO expensive as they might other
wise have been.,
The first was discovered shortly
after IL o'clock and thru some
misunderstanding the fire whistle
was not sounded, SO that our
church-going people were not
disturbed at their devotions, ex-
cepting al the Church of the
Brethren, where the members
feared for the safety of their
building and manfully turned out
to help fight the fire.
The fire started in DR.. Kel-
logg's barn and was presumably
caused by the over-heating of an
incubator lamp. When discover
ed the interior of the building
was ablaze and by the time that
Chief Wiggins and his assistants
reached the scene the flames were
threatening adjoining buildings.
A prompt connection was made
with the nearest hydrant, only to
find that there was no pressure
and the fire boys had to fight the
flames as best they could with
the chemical apparatus and the
help of "bucket brigade" that
dipped water from the Rocky
Ford ditch, until Water Commis-
sloner Crosier reached the power
plant and found that the employees
had heard nothing of fire alarm
Shortly after the pump was
started the department had the
fire under control, but in the
meantime the buildings upon both
sides of the alley had been incin.
Grated and DIR. Kellogg's resi-
dence somewhat scorched upon
the outside.
The doctor was out in the coun-
try upon professional business,
but kind friends invaded his home
and removed most of the con-
tents to a place of safety, as was
also the case with the r. A. Hop
per and Frank John residences
adjoining.
AS was inevitable considerable
damage WAS caused in the hurried
removals, SO that the damage can
not be estimated with any exact
ness, but it will run into the
thousands of dollars.
The next alarm came at an
early hour on Monday morning
2:15 a. m. to be exact-and this
time the fire department was call
ed to Elm avenue and Sixth
streets, where it was found that
another barn fire was in progress
in the alley between Sixth and
Seventh streets, upon the proper
ties of j. w. Ford, Mrs. Mellon
and NJ. U. Randel.
As in the former case the
buildings upon both sides of the
alley were found to be on fire, but
the department was able to fight
this blaze to better advantage as
our new fire engine had been got
in trim-its overhauling having
been hurried up when it was
learned that pipe had been burst
with the pressure of the morning
fire-and 1t took but few min
utes to demonstrate that this lat
est addition to the city fire fight
ing equipment was the best in
vestment that could have been
made, as the flames were quenched
in very few moments after the

Now is the demi-season of our discon-
tent-as the Poet did not say-when
there is nothing new in blouses for
winter wear and nothing certain about
those for spring But she who finds
herself compelled to add to her sup
ply may be quite certain of one thing,
and that is that her new blouses are
still to be of sheer materials.
With the incoming of each season
for at least three, blouses have been
growing more and more diaphanous
1t is difficult now to see how they can
become more airy, but impossible to
believe that they will become less So
Georgette crepe, chiffon, and other
sheer fabrics, not forgetting to count
in laces, are to be relied upon for the
present, and uncertainty will soon be
thing of the past.

Only Christmastime reveals just
how many fascinating feminine be-
longings are brought to the light of
day, and the delight of everybody,
when thoughts turn to ribbons. It
seems that women love to work with
them and are inspired to fashion for
themselves and for their homes and
their friends all sorts of alluringly
pretty things.
Only three OF the innumerable nov
elites made of ribbon for the holi-
day season are pictured here. Rib
bon bags, as usual, held FIRST place and
ranged from the tiny flowerlike sachet
to the capacious and splendid opera
bag. A pretty vanity bag is shown
here. made of light blue printed rib
bon with small rose and foliage de-
sign scattered over it's surface. 1t
Is lined with plain satin in pink and
is made of four lengths of ribbons.
These lengths are rounded at one end
and only the straight edges are sewed
together. The bottom of the bag Is
made of a little oblong mirror, in
cased in the pink satin, with the mir
ror side out. Within the bag are q
little powder box and puff and any
other of the complexion aids which
are required. SO
The bag is closed by drawstrings of
narrow satin ribbon finished with
small bows at each side. When the
opening is drawn up the rounded ends
of ribbon have the appearance OF
flower petals and the top becomes a
blossom.

add to its decoration, and three small
chiffon roses are grouped at the cen.

A pretty boudoir cap Of plain wide
satin ribbon and fine net lace is
shaped to the head by shirrings over
cord. 1t is trimmed with crushed
band of the ribbon with bows at the
front and buckles covered with little
ribbon roses in several colors. At
the back loops and ends of marrow
satin ribbon match the cap in shade.

Old Styles In Vogue.

Just at this moment we are revel-

happily there seems to be no attempt
to revive the bizarre attire once at
fected by the leaders of fashion.
The predominance of old-time styles
is most obvious where dress acces

Heart Muscle Degeneration.

ON several days OF late we have harped upon
the heart strings OF readers. Vnvular
disease, enlargement OF the heart the mechan-
ical factor OF heart disease, and the deusion
that sudden death is a common end OF one with
heart disease, have been dealt with. To-day let

Bond Issue May Re Avoided
