THE FOREIGN Label.

Along with the lessons we are
learning To make our nation self
sustaining. to build. UP within our
borders those industries for whose
products W. have 80 long depended
on foreign countries to mako for us.
we will also learn the absolute fu-
tillty of our accustomed worship ot
OF the foreign trademark. It has
long been our habit to look upon
such things as were made In Europe
as without doubt superior TO what
Mhs made nt home. Our students
ef-tha- la-and -PFofvsrturH hare
been given scant attention until they
came to us with a certificate from
some school In Paris. Berlin, Rome
or Vienna.
Only siuce the war began have
we begun to realize the folly Of such
alien worship. Circumstances arose
that made us turn to our own peo-
pie for many things We thought
could not he successfully produced

singers anc actors have come to the
front and showed that they did not
need the stamp OF approval from
some European connoisscur In or

thing, from henceforth II will bc no

that ever happened TO U.S. Before
the war we were careless and ex-

we thought it the better plan to
spend what we had and then make
some more. Now that we arc learn
