RETAILERS COMBAT
BOX SAYING PLAN
United Waist League Members
Complain Their Efforts
Meet Opposition.

Complaining that their patriotic mo-
lives are being hampered by retailers
who 'kick' because the waists shipped
to them are packed with more than one
in q box. the manufacturers, through
their organization, the United Waist
League Of America, have issued a plea
to the retailers to accept tho goods as
they are shipped.
The manufacturers say they are trying
TO comply with the orders Of the War
Industries Board, which some time ago
recommended that as many waists as
possible be packed in one box SO as to
conserve shipping space.

weather flinders Retailers.

Bad weather interfered with retail
trade In New York last week. Most
stores report comparatively poor busi-
ness. Especially was this true In
tho silk lines. Astute retailers have
long realized a psychological combina-
tion between sunshine and silk and have
come to the conclusion that It Is almost
useless to try to sell this fabric when
days are gloomy.

Looking into the future causes a good
deal OF worriment to some people. but
such a state OF mind can't be attributed
to the reworked wool men, though
they discern the possibility of many
millions OF discarded uniforms being
dumped on the market after the war and
the prices of their goods depressed
thereby.
They contend that the demand for
woollen rags is going TO be so great that
all this surplus can be readily absorbed.
and II II is not taken up entirely in this
country thousands Of tons can be shipped

Glue Emcacious in Mending silk.

with efficiency and economy in all
lines the order OF the day and with the
Government lending it's best efforts TO
helping both along there are all sorts
of new facts being learned that may be
put to general use. one of these Is that
glue Is an ideal substance for mending
torn silk and surpasses needlework in
this respect.
Regarding this fact the Government
says: ITO mend rents or tears in silk
another piece OF silk or fabric OF the
same color placed under the rent with
thin coating OF glue will bring the torn
edges more firmly together than can be
done with needle. Allow to dry thor
oughly and the tear will be nearly in
visible"
