FATHER AND SON week
PROCLAMATION ISSUED BY GOV.
ERNoR GUNTER
Affords Opportunity for Expression Of
Those Fine Relationships Of
Priceless Value to Boy.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Governor julius c. Gunter
has issued the following prOclama-
ton:
The growing observance of Father
and Son Week has afforded opportun-
ity for the expression OF those fine re-
lationships between father and son OF
such priceless value in the life OF the
boy. 1t will establish a tie of COM
radship between father and son, which
under pressue of business and other
affairs, is being driven out of the life
of both.
The uniting OF the latent powers OF
fathers and sons makes not only for
moral and spiritual betterment, but
for economic and social improvement.
1t provides most effective means OF
focusing resources of the entire COM
munity upon the building of character
in the hearts and lives of both boys
and men.
Owing to the war many will be de-
prived of the privilege of having their
sons with them, but all can enter into
the spirit of the movement. They can
carry before their eyes that stalwart
figure in khaki and receive consola-
tion in the thought of the sacrifice
that has been made in a just cause.
Nothing is more important than an
intimate and sympathetic relation be-
tween father and son; nothing more
stimulating and helpful to both faith
ers and sons than an intimate feeling
of comradship and mutual understand
ing.
Therefore. l. julius G. Gunter. COVER
nor of Colorado. do hereby declare
February 11th to 18th as Father and
Son Week. and urge upon the citizens
of this commonwealth its observance
to the end that the home may be safe
guarded and the democracy of the
family preserved.

against next to none in f1reless in
doors. Even bed and lounge coverings
and lounge pillows are reported to be
made of felts. Everywhere the cheap
er felts prove a more than satisfactory
substitute for wool, which is scarce.
In the face of all these cOnsidera-
tions furriers have distinguished them
selves by providing handsome gar
ments from the inexpensive skins.
Coats with wide collars, deep cuffs and

Since hand knitting has really become
a fashionable pastime. many women
are knitting sweaters and sweater
coats for themselves, as well as for the
soldiers. New styles for spring are
already presented. and they include
coat and slip-over models, coats with
wide sailor collars and knit-length
skirts plated at the sides and back,
are fastened along the front with very
large buttons. They have knitted
sashes ending In wool fringe, that loop
over the front and hang to the bottom
Of the garment.
The hand-knit sweater is an expen-
sive affair as compared to machine
knit garments. The cost Of labor
makes 1t SO. This is where the oppor-
tunity lies for women who can knit
and make their own sweaters.
Knitted silk sweater-coats for spring
have already been launched. One of
the new models looks like Norfolk
jacket. 1t fastens at the front with
buttons and has a belt that dips at the
front, made of the knitted silk. This
fastens under a small buckle.

The manufacturers of knitted gar
ments, specializing in the particular
line Of work, bring out new styles In
sweaters, sweater coats, bathing suits,
and all other garments shaped to the
figures in the machines that make
them, with the return of each spring
and fall season. Sweaters and sweat
er coats probably furnish the bulk
of their business. No member Of the
hp-to-date family undertakes to face
the winter, or the summer either, with
ont a sweater. Even the baby tod
dles out clad in knitted garments from
head to foot.
II usually falls to the lot Of moth
era to select and buy all these gar
ments. hence she is interested In the
STYLES for boys and young men. as well
as in those for girls and women. A

The coat shown in the picture Is as
good n model for general wenr and
smart style as one could wish. Its
deep collar may be turned SO that 1t
will engulf the face almost to the eyes
and still protect the shoulders and
chest. The very deep cuffs suggest
warmth and provide it. The front laps
across from right to left and is held
In place by very wide belt in addi-
tion to other fastenings. Fullness is
furnished the skirt by plaits at each
side-a feature that is especially want
ed in coat that is to serve the pur-
poses of both street and motor wear.
Among the late arrivals in winter
coats there are some very handsome
satin models with very wide patterns
In needlework or embroidery about the
bottom. Sometimes this extends

by a wide band of fur across the back.
This is something quite new and it IL

Story Of an OREGON preda..

There was one steam dredge in
Oregon which has never had its epi-
taph written, says the Engineering
and Mining Journal When first built
capital was limited and the dredge was
light one After few weeks Of OPP
Grafton it was found that the buckets
were not stout enough. A heavier
line was purchased Then the main
drive engine did not have power
enough to operate it. A larger engine
was secured. The boilers failed to
generate enough steam for the greater
demands, so the owner installed boil
ers of greater capacity. The second
day after operations were finally re-
sumed, these heavier boilers suddenly
dropped through the flimsy hull, and
the Inflated dredge went to the bot
tom. All of which goes to show,
among other things, that "the life OF
a dredge is the life of it's hull"

new MARKET FOR ZINC
may Be FOUND IN CHINA
NEARLY 60 PER CENT FORMERLY
CAME FROM GERMANY AND
AUSTRIA. HUNGARY.

There appears to be an excellent
opportunity for American manufact-
urers to capture the zinc trade in
China. says the New York Sun.
In 1914 the net imports of spelter
into China were 1,145.OO0 pounds, with
an approximate value of $150,OOO. OF
that amount more than 81 per cent
came from Germany and Austria
Hungary and more than 40 per cent
from Great Britain and Hongkong. In
1915 only $4,000 pounds valued at $15,-
176, were imported. Of which nearly
90 per cent came from Hongkong. In
1916, 1920 pounds were imported at
an approximate value of $43,1S5, and
more than SO per cent of this amount
came from Japan.
Zinc sheets and plates which were
imported into China amounted to l.
299,067 pounds, valued at 100000, in
1914. Thirty three per cent came from
Belgium, 2S per cent from Great Bril-
tain and Hongkong, and more than
per cent from Germany.
Germany Had Big End.
There were 137067 pounds valued at
$49,S00, imported in 1915, of which
more than AZ per cent came from
Great Britain and Hongkong, and
more than rs per cent from the United
States. In 1916. 1854 pounds, valued
at $372,20O were imported, of which
more than SIS per cent came from the
United States and more than 16 per
cent each from Great Britain and
Japan.
OF all other kinds Of zinc manu-
featured 774,4OO pounds We're import
ed at an approximate cost of $107, 800
In 1914. of which more than 60 per
cent came from Germany and Austria
Hungary and almost 26 per cent from
Belgium; 24,933 pounds at cost of
$500 in 1915 of which more than IS
per cent came from Japan and 16 per
cent came from the Philippine Is
lands; and 122,SOO pounds valued at
$90,925, in 1916, of which almost 54
per cent came from France and more
than 40 per cent from Japan.
Opportunity for Uncle Sam.
The statistics show that there have
been great declines in imports of
these materials during 1915 and 1916.
This apparently was because the usual
sources of supply had been cut off by
the war.
Nearly all dealings with consumers
of all kinds of imported articles in
China are through importing houses,
of which there is large number, and
1T would be advisable for American
firms handling zinc to communicate
with some of these houses with view
to having them handle their goods I'M
less they could send their own repre-
sentatives to look over the field and
establish branches.
