New York.-Rodier is the man who
invents fabrics for the civilized world.
This statement does not imply that
he inventS all of them, and we have
some extremely good results in this
country from earnest and serious eX-
periments in weaving, dyeing and de-
signing materials. We could go on
our own endeavors for the years to
come, if we wished to do so, but no
one would want to take away the
glory from Rodier. the master weaver.
His work in Paris has always been ac-
corded the merit it deserves, and>there
are no manufacturers in this country
or England who do not look upon his
work with the respect and admiration
given to master workman by those
in his own craft.
Therefore, when it was known that
Rodier put out a superior and durable
weave of silk jersey that would re-
place wooden fabrics, the world re-
ceived the news with the Importance
it deserved.
1t Saves Wool.
The French are using silk jersey to
conserve wool. America will do the
same. The Council of National De-
tense only asked the American dress
makers to use not more than four and
a half yards of wooden fabric in a cos
tune, but we have done much better
than that since the request was made.
There are gowns that are made from
yard and a half of wool, and there
are hundreds of frockS that haven't
any wool at all except touch of en-
broldery. With that amazing docility
and obedience which has surprised
ourselves as well as the rest of the
world, we have not only yielded to
every request made by the govern
ment since war began, but we have
gone beyond the request and achieved
more than was necessary
The usage of this heavy silk Jersey
instead of wool, which the French have
adopted. is exceedingly good and ar
t1stIc, if one does not consider the
price; but there is nothing economical
in it where the purse is concerned.
However, there are other weaves of
jersey silk in this country which can
be substituted for this coat of mail
weave that lends itself so happily to
street suits. If one cannot afford
much of the latter fabric, there is al
ways a chance to use a waistcoat a
euirass or collar and cuffs of it to
bring a serge or gabardine suit or
frock out of the commonplace This
. is often done by the tailors, who are
striving to keep the law and yet re-
main artistic.
The Redingote Gown.
When one announces that France
and America have both yielded to the
lure of the short jacket, there is no
intention to mislead the women of the
country into the belief that no other
kind of coat is tolerated. One has
only to glance at the exhibitions of
new clothes to find that a short and
long coat are shown within the
same ten minutes. 1t is a matter Of
choice.
However, it must be admitted that
the long. coats are more constantly

The HOUSEHOLD
Edited by Anne Rittenhouse
OF Course Bright Colors.


There is no doubt about the priority
of red in the fashion rainbow of the
season. At first we heard that fash
ions tend toward brighter colors."
and then that black and somber Gel
ors generally would be, less popular
than for the past few seasons. That
wasn't putting it strong enough We
are in for a season of red. 1t has been
suggested by way of an excuse for
fashions choice that red is one Of tho
colors of our flag and that it is also
found in the flags of most of our al
lies. 1t has been suggested that red IS
a symbol of war and that We are wear
ing it to indicate our willingness to
fight to a finish 1t has also been
suggested that we are wearing red
just because we would be even more
detected than we are were we willing
to wear colors as somber as our
spirits.
Perhaps the most surprising mani
festation of this new craze for red is
to be found in the red jewelry that
has sprung up with mushroom speed
and is found at popular prices in most
of the novelty shops The boardwalk
shops at the seashore will probably
be deluged with colors before the sea-
son is out
Red hats have a way of coming and
then going as suddenly at this time of
the year. They look good till the
Weatner becomes really warm ana
then they are odious. The same thing
is apt to happen with all our red ac-
cessories. They will flourish for a
few weeks and then they will retire
under the superior splendor OF the
bright sun.
but other bright OF at least gay col
ors are pretty apt to continue in high
favor all summer. 1t has been Sug
geSted often that black does not go
especially well with khaki and every
woman with a soldier in camp knows
that the man in khaki has a prefer
ence fer women'S clothes that are col
orful. There is enough of the drab
and colorlesS in their life. No won
der then that they want the women
they dance with and talk with to be
got up in rainbow colors There is
another phase OF The question. The
man at home first discovers that his
wife's red hat is atrocious when she
has worn it for the thirteenth time
in succession. He could have raved
over it once, admired it twice and toll
Grated it half a dozen times, but for
steady diet never. So with striking
and colorfal clothes generally. Men
Ike them on the women they see but
seldom. but the women they are with
Caily they like to see in more staid
I coIors- Well, of course. the man in
KHAKI has no such surfefting of wom-
ems gay clothes. And he would far
rather be greeted by a wife or sweet
heart in gay raiment than one who
felt that the war widow had to as
sumo a drab costume to indicate her
loneliness.

RED SPIDER DAMAGING
COTTON IN robson
MIR. U. M. Britt Reports Many Plants
Blasted by Red Spider-Dry Wealth
er Favorable to This Pest.

Mr.. .. M. Britt, who operates sew
eral farms, reports that the red spider
IS playing havoc in some cotton fields.
Wherever this pest gets in it's work
the the cotton looks like it has been
blasted by lightning, and Mr.. Britt
says he has found no way to stop it's
raVages. He has noticed it's deadly
work IN fields in Howellsville, St.
Pauls and Lumberton townships.
The red spiders camp on the under
side of leaves, thousands of them to
the leaf, and they are so small that
they are hard to see with the naked
eye.
In news item in the Charlotte OBJ
server one day last week it was stated
that the red spider is doing consid-
cradle damage to cotton in Mecklen-
burg county. Mr. Charles E. Miller,
Mecklenburg' farm demonstrator,
says that dry weather is favorable
to this pest and wet weather unfav-
orable to it. The Observer item
quotes Mr.. Miller further as follows:
"As a prevention Mr. Miller recon-
mended that all poke-weed, jinson
weed, cockleburs, blackberry vines and
Jerusalem oak be destroyed. Clover
diiu UedHS near CHe cOLCOn also narDOr
this insect, he said.
"As a means Of controlling the
spread of the red spider, Mr.. Miller
said all shedding leaves should be
pulled from the cotton stalks, satu-
rated with kerosene oil and burned.
Stalks in the row on both sides of the
infected spot should be pulled to pre-
vent spread. The cotton should be
sprayed with ready-made lime and
sulphur. One gallon of this solution
SHOULD be mixed with so gallons of
water"
Mr.. Britt says this pest was noticed
in some sections of Robson some 8
years ago. He understands from men
who have had experience with it that
the red spider does not follow itself
and spread from year to year, as the
boil weevil does, but it is exceedingly
destructive where it strikes.

SUGAR FAMINE IMMINENT.
North Carolina Will Be Practically
Out of Sugar Within 80 Days I'm
less Maximum Ration is Cut.

That North Carolina will be prac-
tically out Of sugar within thirty days
unless consumers cut their consump-
ton to much less than the maximum
ration Of three pounds per person per
month, is the startling announcement
made Friday by Food Administrator
Henry A. Page, following telegraphic
correspondence with the Washington
Office on the sugar situation.
. In issuing certificates to wholesal-
ers and retailers the sugar division
during July has been issuing certifi-
Gates up to one hundred percent Of tie
estimated requirements given by mer-
chants on their statements. All GER
tificates have not been issued yet, not
withstanding the overtime working of
a force of more than thirty clerks in
the sugar division, but partial tai
ulation indicates that certificates have
been issued for very nearly double
the apportionment of sugar in North
Carolina for the month of July. This
means that no certificates will be Is.
sued for August at all unless add
tional sugar is available from the
markets for this State.
Administrator Page instructed coun-
ty food administrators today that No
further sales of 25 pound lots Of
sugar for canning and preserving pur-
poses would be made without the spe-
cific authority Of county food admin
istrators. Heretofore the first 25
pounds have been sold upon certifi-
Gates not requiring the approval Of
county food administrators Empha-
sis will also be placed upon the keep.
ing of accurate records of sales OF
sugar in whatsoever quantities by re
tailers. All retailers are required to
sell sugar only to their regular Gus
toners and to limit such customers
tc not exceeding three pounds per per
son per month. Any attempts al
boarding by either dealers or corsum-
ers will be severely punished.
In addition to requesting all con
sumers Of sugar to cut their consump-
ton of sugar to the lowest possible
quantity, Mr.. Page is requesting that
all fruits be canned without sugar
The sugar to be added when the fruits
are consumed and the sugar situation
is easier. The drying and canning Of
fruits is advocated in preference te
preserving, which requires considera
! able quantities Of sugar.
