Japan Fosters Dye Making.

Japan. like so many other countries. is
striving to put herself in position to
be free OF German domination in tho
dye industry after the war AS IN so
many other cases. this attempt at inde-
pendence is based in the first instance
on necessity. Prior to 1914 dyes to the
value Of three and a half millions of
dollars were imported annually into
Japan, Nearly all of this supply came
from Germany.
With the otbreak OF war Japan was
compelled to take steps to protect her
important silk and other textile indus
tries. in which the matter of dyes Is
all essential. 4 law passed in 1915 pro-
vides for the grant OF subsidies to COM
panies engaged in the manufacture OF
dyes and chemicals provided that more
than half of the capital of any such
company be subscribed by japanese sub
jects.

Uniformity In Cloak styles.

In lire with the conservation policy OF
the War Industries Board the tendency
to support any movement making more
nearly uniform styles throughout the
trade from season to season ~hecomes
more marked among the cloak and suit
manufacturers.
Conservation OF styles as well as OF
materials will be n distinct benefit, ac-
cording TO some in the trade. and style
saving is bound TO mean material saw
Ing and so acquiesence in the GOVERN
ments wishes. The limitation Of the
number of models and the consequent
cutting down Of the number OF sample
trunks a salesman has to carry certainly
will help in conservation, II one pauses
to consider the ever increasing cost OF
baggage
The general opinion Is that a very
great favor will be conferred on the
trade by the Governments plans to con-
serve II it leads TO an end of the pra ctice
OF turning out year after year lines OF
goods that are unnecessary and remain
unsold at the seasons END.

Retailers OF mems furnishings say that
this has been the poorest season for
long, long while for the sale OF white
trousers. Prices Of white flannel and
white serge trousers have gone way up,
like the prices Of so many other things.
but the real reason for the poor business.
concludes one dealer, is that there aren't
many young men around to don this
article Of summer wear. Even the men
who are not in khaki aren't taking the
extended vacations they used to take IN
former years. but are substituting for
two week and four week holidays out
ings at the week ends. SO the older men
don't take so much stock in laying OUT

fer soft collars for that reason. The
economical advantage of the soft collar
IN that II can be laundered at home and

A New Hue shade.

new shade OF blue is announced BY
one Of the leading American dyemaking
concerns They call 1t National Sui
phur Blue l.. The claim is made for It
that 1t will be found to meet the needs
OF cotton dyers who are looking for a
fast bright blue. 1t Is said to hold
well under ordinary washing but tho
shade loses slightly under, hard washing,
although both cotton and wool remain
unstained. To cross-dyeing the shade
does not lose in depth, but is made
slightly duller. but white wool and cot
ton remain quite clear.

Fiber SILK Hosiery Scarce,

Fiber silk hosiery may soon be a thing
OF the past. Fiber silk is becoming so
scarce that the question OF making
hosiery from 1t much longer Is likely to
prompt very definite answer in the
negative. The materials from which this
silk are made are wanted in making
explosives and hosiery manufacturers
are finding it increasingly difficult to
get the raw material. Supplies on hand
are virtually exhausted Retailers are
buying odd lots OF all kinds whenever
they can find them and they have had
to advance prices to conform with the
prices asked at wholesale. Consumers
pay these prices because they must.

Mapped Goods wait on Red Cross.

There will be no hurry about fixing
prices on mapped goods. It Is said in the
market. 1t Is figured, however. that the
prices that will be named by the Gov
eminent ought to be higher than the
last prices made to the trade, which was
in December. There Is some opinion
that prices on mapped goods when named
by Washington may be lower than those
paid by the Red Cross when this or
ganizat!on placed its last big order sew
eral months ago. Speaking of the Red
Cross. one man says he understands that
o! ganization is now preparing to give
out another large order for early de-
livery. This will have priority, OF
course. over civilian business. 40 the
civilian will get of with less in the way
OF mapped goods than now, and he is get
ting very little.

Special Despatch 10 THE SITS.

WASHINGTON. July l1.-Dry goods
wholesalers are asked by the Conserva-
tion Division OF the War Industries
Board to reduce the quantity OF luggage
carried by their travelling statesmen in
order to meet the shortage Of baggage
cars There are only 300 baggage
cars in the country. On these cars It
Is estimated 100000 sample carriers
Eere checked last year. This was
equivalent TO 80 per cent. OF the total
baggage carried free by railroads Dur
ing the last few months many baggage
cars have been converted into dining
cars for the movement of troops to can
tonments and embarkation points.
The Conservation Division points out
that photographs. Autographs and cata-
logues are being used successfully In
reducing tho number OF trunks carried
by a salesman from nine or ten to three
or four. In most instances. 1t says. one
full size model only is necessary for
each style OF merchandise shown. and
II recommends that all articles sold in
pairs. such as garters. hosiery and
gloves, should be sampled one-half pair
for each model, using swatches of fab
RIGS and colors In connection with
photographs where necessary for other
styles. Salesmen's trunks should be linn
tied to 40 inches, extreme measurement
With the contemplated general reduc-
ton in the number OF styles. not only

northward up the valley of the small
River Agron toward Buzancy. The
next few days promise events on the
American front which should make the
peace sentiment in the German army
and nation stronger than now exists.
Fighting Is Vigorous
A vigorous answer to the German
peace protfer is being handed to the
enemy on the front by General Lig-
gett's victorious first army here.
The enemy's response to this latter
answer of steel and fire has already
been made He has evacuated for
mdable positions on fortified hills,
given up another large slice of his

numbers Of machine guns and many
prisoners. who admit freely that the
German troops haye again been stern

None of these concessions was made

argument that has immediate effect on
