LANSING MAY RESIGN.
Secretary's Health May Cause Him to
Withdraw from Public Life March 4.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Friends of Rob
ert Lansing, secretary of state, will not
be surprised ii he intends that his res
ignation OF that office shall take effect
March 4, 1917. His reasons for eontem-
plating a withdrawal from public life
for the present are purely personal, it is
said. and concern chiefly his state OF
health. Mr.. Lansing has undergone a
severe strain in connection with his du
ties incident to the European war and
that his physical condition is not as good
As it was even a year ago Is evident to
all who meet him. He has performed
the duties Of secretary of state with an
efficient diplomacy which has made him
friends in congressional and diplomatic
circles alike and as far as he has been
able to do so has tried TO maintain the
traditions of American diplomacy. No
OF his intention to resign Is ex-
pected here and the suggestion probably
would be met with a denial. This dis

AMERICAN COLORS
NOW AVAILABLE
FOR DRESS GOODS
Practically All Kinds Are Now Manufac-
tured in United States, Says I. F.
Stone, President of National
Aniline g. Chemical Co.

Paterson, n. j.. Nov. 23.--Women may
now get practically all of the color effects
in dress goods that were known before
the war upset the dye industry and will
soon have every known color to choose
from, all made in America, fully as good
in quality as those made in Germany or
any other country, according to |. F.
Stone, president of the National Aniline
& Chemical Co., who addressed the Ma
tional Silk association convention here
yesterday.
Mr. Stone told many interesting things
about the dye situation. The serious
ness of it. as it was viewed two years
ago, has largely disappeared, he said
Large increases in production of dyestutfs
by the already established factories in
this country and the installment of a
large number of new factories, has so
cleared the situation that at the present
time the production of the American
factories will be enough to take care of
the whole consumption of aniline dyes in
this country in the future, for all of
what ! might term staple colors, and be-
fore another year has passed every color
which is necessary TO American consum-
ers will be produced in this country"
In explaining the success of the Amer
lean dye factories. Mr.. Stone said that
benzole, from which practically all ani
line colors are derived, was now being
produced in this country at the rate OF
30.O00,O00 gallons per snnum, as against
3 100000 prior TO the war. so that there
is an ample supply of this basic mate
rial. From it are now being manufac-
tured largely such intermediates as ami
line oil, betanapthol. psranipranilin,
rhIor- benzole, dimethy lsnilin and para
anime, so that American
of colors are able to get |
sufficient raw materials to manufacture |
enough colors to supply the whole con

ed from Switzerland, the prices on all Of
these imported colors being higher even
! in proportion than the American colors.
! Whenever normal conditions again pre-
vail and raw materials and labor are at
normal costs, then the prices of Amer
lean colors, as well as European colors,
will resume the normal figures.
In any event American manufacture
ers who buy dyestuffs have no reason to
complain of the high cost, because they,
on their part, have in most cases adj
vanced the cost of their products more
than the proportionately higher cost of
dyestuffs, as the cost of dyestuffs as a
general rule, is a very small percentage
of the cost of manufactured textiles,
either wool, cotton or silk, and American
textile manufacturers to-day are more
prosperous as a rule, than they ever
were"
"The definite answer, in connection
with the manufacture of dyestuffs in
America he concluded. "is that the
present condition OF the dyestuff supply
is very satisfactory, and the future out
look is still more satisfactory in that we
will make more colors, and everything
indicates that the larger part of the bust
ness will remain in the hands of Amer
lean manufacturers even after the war,
instead of in the hands of the European
who in former years have
had practical monopoly ON this bust
ness"

Joint Commissioners Still
Discussing the MeXi-
can Problem
NOTHING TOLD OF
THE DISCUSSION
Counter Suggestions Made
by the Mexicans Re-
ceive Attention

Atlantic City, n. j., Nov. 23.-After
session that continued until after .
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, the chair
men of the Mexican and American COM
missions dealing with the border prob
lem, joined in the statement that some
progress towards an amicable agreement
had been made.
No explanation of the statement was
give and nothing was told of the dis
cussion in the commission room other
than to admit that the commissioners
had spent the time in further considera-
ton of the counter suggestions made by
the Mexicans after their receipt OF the
American plan for border control.
Luis Cabrera, chairman of the Mex
lean commission, had not returned from
Philadelphia when the other members of
the Joint commission resumed their con
ference yesterday.
He left for Philadelphia Tuesday night
after spending the day studying the pro-
posals of the American commissioners
for an agreement on plan OF border
control.

The Movies are Getting Better.

The moving picture department of the
| Woman's Home Companion says in the
| December issue:
"There has been distinctly new tone
to the feature films produced in the last
few months, perceptible effort to make
| the stories more like glimpses Of life as
it is lived by flesh and blood people, not
| by puppets in the hands OF director
who has never been a student Of human
lily. The time has passed when sue
cessful picture can be made up of Ger
I tain conventional motion picture ingrsli
ents hastily thrown together leering
william, curly haired doll heroine, a
handsome lover, struggle in locked
room. sensational rescue, and close
embrace.
$50 long as features were what the
name implied, they held hopes of devel-
oping the new art into something sub
stantial. They were step beyond the
one, two, threereel program of me-
diocre, acting and settings. But when they
became program features they too fire.
quently lose their right to be called fea
lures, and become programs like their
predecessors.
"For a time noted dramatic star
could carry a picture to financial success
because of the cumulative publicity back
of her. But publicity cannot popular
ize a face that does not screen well, or
a story with no real intent, or mechan-
zeal workmanship. Even favorite hero
ines like Mary Pickford or Marguerite
Clark cannot always carry to success a
spineless story. The public is weary OF
the 'sixteen-year-old' curly-haired hero
inc who marries in the last reel = besides,
it has bad effect upon the real sixteen
year Odds. Not the hair, but the ability
to stir the emotions has helped these sue
cessful screen actresses to attract the |
public to many a mediocre story. And
that is the only reason such productions |
have been listed as better films.
at is not the newness of the plot |
which makes a good story. There are
few new plots. Most of the stories have
been told countless times in literature,
the drama, and now the motion pic
lures. 1t is the way the plot is dressed
by author and director which makes its
freshness, its human appeal, and its final
success 1t is this new note of sincerity
evident in The following select films
which makes them approach more nearly

and it seems to be the custom now FOL
saleswomen and others in the stores. a,
well as the garment dyers, to specifically
state that they do not guarantee colors
| because they are no longer able to get
the foreign colors. | wish to say that al
far as | know, no manufacturer or re.
taller has ever guaranteed colors even
before the war, although this fact may
not have been mentioned. and the only
reason it is mentioned now is through a
misunderstanding of the situation. Such
fancy colors as ladies usually want in
silk, worsteds, etc, such as pinks. light
blues, light greens, heliotrope, etc, were
never fast, and as far as | know, there
have never been any colors which would
dye them fast. In any event, the word
fast is more or less a misnomer, as a
color which is absolutely fast to every
thing, such as washing, fulling, light, ex-
posure, alkalies, acids etc, is practically
unknown, so it is only comparative fast
ness which is meant in speaking of fast
colors. and to this extent the present
American colors, such as they are, are
Just as fast as the same colors made in
Europe.
"In connection with the high prices
now charged by American manufacturers
of colors, many consumers are under the
impression that this is because of the
high cost OF manufacture here as com
pared with Europe, but as matter of
fact the reason is the abnormal condi
lions, in that the raw materials used for
the manufacture of colors. like benzole,
for instance, are very much higher than
being used for explosives and
other war purposes. These high prices
also rule in Europe, as is shown by the
extremely high prices asked for such col

Nuts-The Edible Kind.

The season of new nuts is here agar
and so the cook can turn to source OF
much interest for food dishes for any
day of the week.
Nut sandwiches are, perhaps, one OF
the best of all nut dainties. For these
nuts of any sort can be used, and they
can be prepared in many ways. Best
of all are just chopped nut meats, sailed
and added to the butter spread on thin
slices of white and whole wheat bread.
Nuts are equally useful for salads.
They can, as everybody in this wide
world must know by this time, be com
bined with apple and celery in what is
known as Waldorf salad They can also
be mixed with orange pulp and served
with French dressing And almond meat
can be used to garnish almost any sort
OF meat or vegetable salad.
In cake nuts are equally good. Choco-
late loaf cake can be iced with white
icing and decorated with pecan or wal
nut meats. And any layer cake can be
put together with white icing thickly
mixed with chopped nut meats.
Nut cookies made in this way are very
good with tea: Beat two scant teaspoon
fuls of baking soda into cupful of mo-
lasses. Then add a cupful of sour milk,
tablespoonful of salt and two teaspoon
fuls of ginger, half cup of butter, melt
ed, and flour to make mixture that
will drop from a spoon. Chill thorough
~, roll to fourth of an inch in thick
ness and cut. Place two half pecans on
each cookie and bake.
Nut can be added to plain vanilla ice
cream, either of the custard sort or raw
milk and cream, to make more elabor-
ate sort of dessert Chop pecans fine
and add about cupful of them to a
quart.
Sailed pecans and almonds are always
tempting. There are advocates for cook
ing them in butter and advocates for
cooking them in olive oil, and some
women declare that they are far better
cooked in the oven, some that they are
far better cooked in skillet. The truth
IS that they are delicious however they
are cooked, if only they are carefully
cooked. They must be watched so that |
they will not become the least bit |
burned; they must be cooked in just |
enough oil or butter to make them ten
