let's surrounding it. Before the war
the yearly export Of boots and shoes
amounted to over 100000, divided
among rs manufacturers. They were
Of q common variety, sewn by machine,
generally with nailed soles, and were
almost solely destined for export. But
the chief industry Of Nancy Is the max
ing of straw hats, which once -four
ished all over Alsace, and after our
defeats migrated to Nancy.
In the town itself, as saw during
my late visit, most home workers are
employed at making hats, while the
large factories often employed as
many as 5000 work people-and two
thirds of these were women. This
trade, of which Nancy has the monopo-
ly In France. has been great loss for
Germany, especially for the Rhine and
Saar provinces, where, strangely
enough, most of the towns continue to
work for Nancy. The plaits, however,
which serve. to make straw hats, are
quite an industry in themselves. In
their raw state they come chiefly
from China, and are sent to Italy and
Switzerland for the bleaching process,
whence they are imported into France.
England, which Is the chief intermedi.
airy, yearly imported half a million
tons Of plaits. But even here Nancy
was making great progress before the
war, and with groups which had
formed In Lyons and Caussade was
trying to make herself independent Of
both England and Switzerland.
Straw Hat and Printing Press.
The trade of straw hats gives rise to
many others. for Nancy, after having
received the raw material, turns out
every kind of hat trimmed and ready
for export, and for this accessories Of
all kinds are needed. What struck me
most when walked through the large
workshops were thousands and thou
sands of bell-shaped hats, put one into
the other, forming immense pyramids.
It was the Panama hat, the light,
white head cover which is so great q
favorite and almost endless in its
wear. These hats in their primitive
state are the product Of the Bourbon
palm or latania, and are sent by the
republic Of Ecuador. The dressing Of
the Panama hats Is one Of the great
industries of Nancy, and 1t is all the
more important at the present time
when our women have been compelled
to take the place Of men, for this is a
light industry, well within their pow

The printing works of Berger-Lev-

tors are the publishers for the minis.
tries Of war, finance, police and many
other departments, for which they pro-
