WRAPPING ADDS TO THE GIFT
Home Art Specialist Suggests Use of
White Ribbon and Tissue Paper
With Bits of Foliage.

The wrapping of a Christmas gift is
an expression of the giver as much as
the git itself. asserts Miss Araminta
Holman. instructor in home art In
the Kansas State Agricultural col
iege.
"A pretty gift will lose much of its
charm if it is wrapped carelessly,'
said Miss Holman. "As much care
should be taken in the wrapping as in
the selection of the gift.
The wrappings should he dainty
and inconspieuous, and in harmony
with the gift and the sentiment that
the giver wishes to accompany the

chiefly to the failure OF the Department
Of Commerce to separate the various
classes Of chemicals. For the most part
import returns were grouped under such
broad or general headings that IL was
impossible to gather just what guam
titles OF given chemical were con-
sumed in the United States each year.
The chemical census. on the other hand,
will show this, and thereby indicate
to American manufacturers what the
annual consumption of a specified chemi-
cal totaled, In this way a manufac-
turer desiring to enter a given field
would be able to gauge his production to
ie domestic requirements.
The lack of detailed information re-
garding foreign imports of chemicals
was recognized by the American Chem
ical Society shortly after the start of
the European war, which eliminated
German entries, and cut TO a minimum
imports from other countries, thus
throwing the burden OF production upon
the American manufacturers. Many
plants here had not during the period
of foreign competition found 1t profit
able to produce many chemicals In
common use in this country. The war
however, as in the case Of the domestic
dyestuffs industry, spurred producers of
chemicals to expand the capacity Of
plants. erect new ones, and begin the
manufacture of new products. Already
millions of dollars have been invested
in new plants for the production of
chemicals for use in explosives and
other war material With the aid of
the Forthcoming chemical census many
of these plants will be in position to
continue the production of lines for
which demand exists under normal
peace conditions.
The American Chemical Society. in
cluding in its membership representa-
tives of many of the largest domestic
chemical-producing concerns in the
country, suggested in a report by a
special committee that the Government,
in making returns on chemical imports,
segregate the various classes OF goods
In place of Jumping heavy quantities
with big values under the general cap
ton "All other" Although this recom-
mendation was made over year ago,
summaries of foreign trade published by
the Commerce Department have failed
TO incorporate the change advised by
the chemical experts.

the other to visit points in Alabama,

Each train carries a baggage car
and two Hat cars laden with relics
from the field of battle Among the
relics are parts of aeroplanes which
have taken part in some of the most
thrilling fights of the war; huge can
mons; hand grenades; shells, helmets
and a vast collection of photographs
showing German atrocities in France
and Belgium. The exhibits were col
lected through the War Department.
Some of them we're captured from che
Germans: others were contributed by
the French and British armies

The Government decided to operate
fhe special trains to stimulate interest
In the Liberty Loan, although the
great demand for transportation equip
ment has caused shortage Of cars.
This is an evidence of the seriousness
with which the need for money to
finance the war is viewed by Govern
ment officials.
At every station the trains have
been visited by thousands Of people.

MILL OWNER GETS new
LIGHT ON PATRIOTISM

Some OF the owners of Southern
industrial plants feel that they have
been made to carry their full share
of the burden of the war through the
income tax and excessive profits laws,
but one has been convinced that he
is being let down. rather lightly
thus far.
The incident occurred in the direc-
tors room Of a bank. The president
of mill, in discussing war finances
remarked: 1--WE paid the Government
$4,000 income tax and don't see
how | can invest very heavily in Gov
eminent bonds
How much of the remaining IS
per cent Of your income would have
accrued under business conditions
other than those now existing?' One
of his friends asked.
The mill owner seemed perplexed.
As all the men In the group were
friends the president Of the bank
mentioned that the mill owners bust
ness had increased S5 per cent during
the past year, according to the bank
records.
AS a matter of fact" his friend
remarked, You have paid but ten per
cent on normal business. You haven't
been hard hit at ALL
The mill owner confessed this was
q new view point to him.
The owner Of large mercantile
house made confession at this
point He said his income tax had
amounted to $4,000 and he had
thought he had done great deal. but
he realized now that he was doing
comparatively little
The mill owner and the merchant
both pledged to invest heavily in the
Third Liberty Loan to keep their con-
science clear toward the Government
And the others enjoyed a good
laugh.
