Correspondents Of the Associated Press.
DUBLIN, August 31.-The Gaelic

Jubilee. It was founded in 1893. and
for many years accomplished a great
work not only in encouraging the use
Of the Irish language. and preserving
it from extinction in the districts
where It was still the common speech
Of the people, but in the advance

Smart Clothes

of woollens are being cut at the same
time, Stein Bloch Smart Clothes are
cut one suit at time with shears.
These and other special pre-
cautions in the tailoring may seem like
unnecessary details, but it is the care
full attention to just such seeming
triAes that has resulted in the we'll
known Stein-Bloch perfection.
Stein-Bloch Smart Clothes
are hand-tailored. This means that in
every operation where we believe
skilled hand-tailoring will accomplish
better results than machine work, the
former is used.
For example, the shaping of
the collar and the roll of the lapel are
obtained by hundreds of unseen
stitches worked in as the lining is
skillfully rolled over the finger. This
shaping can be obtained in no other
way; and it is such work that has
earned for Stein-Bloch Smart Clothes
the reputation for lasting service.
The style is tailored in-not
merely pressed in by the skill Of 4
man with a hot iron.
There are hundreds of other
details that even the finest custom
tailors rarely ever Bother about; for
instance, the pressing after each indi-
vidual sewing operation to insure &C.
curacy in style and fit; the matching
of the trimmings and sewing silk
with the colors in the fabric; the ex-
act length of the button shanks to
facilitate buttoning and to prevent un-
necessary pulling at the buttonholes;
the use Of all-linen canvas and tapes in
trimmings; special reinforcements of
pockets to prevent, sagging and pull
ing away; and SO on.
Clothing-xen good cloth
ing-can be made in much less time,
and with many short cuts in the max
ing. But there is only one Standard
the ideal of highest quality-in the
making of Stein Bloch Smart Clothes,
and any garment that does not con-
form in every respect with this stand
ard is unworthy to bear the Stein
Bloch label
The additional time and at
tention to detail that are put into the
making and tailoring Of Stein-Bloch.
Smart Clothes are more than compen-
stated for in the additional service and
satisfaction they give to their wearers.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1918-09-18

Every article that enters into
the making of these clothes must con-
form to the highest known standards
Woollens must be all wool.
The assurance of the textile manufac-
turer is not enough The fabric must
be subjected to the sc-called boiling
test" in which the wool is dissolved
by caustic potash, but if cotton is
present it remains unchanged The
slightest trace Of cotton means rejec-
ton of the cloth.
Colors must be lasting. In
order to determine this point, every
pattern is tested under the rays Of a
specially constructed, powerful cleo
trio arc lamp which produces on color
the same effect as long exposure to
brilliant sunlight
Woollens must be standard
weight. They are classified according
to weights per yard, such as twelve
ounce, fourteen-ounce, sixteen-ounce,
etc Every piece of woollen used in
Stein Bloch Clothes is tested to be
sure that i is full weight.
Everypiece of oollen is care
fully inspected On a large frame, fac
ing a strong, clear. north light, the
cloth IS slowly unwound and spread
before trained inspector, whose duty
it is to detect every imperfection and
mark it in such a manner that it will
be avoided when the garment is cut.
All fabrics are thoroughly
shrunk. The London cold water proc
ess is used, in which the woollens are
saturated by means of wet cloths fold
ed in alternate layers, thus giving
more even distribution Of moisture
than can be obtained by any other
method. No wearer of Stein-Bloch
Smart Clothes need ever fear further
shrinking of the clothes.
Canvas, linens, tapes, ETC.,
used in Innings and trimmings, are also
subjected to the same thorough
shrinking.
All fabrics are air-dried after
shrinking. Experience has shown that
drying in the natural air, although
much slower, gives better results
than drying with artificial heat.
Consequently, the wet woollens. cam
vas and linens are hung on frames in
lofts with windows open, except in
very severe weather, and allowed to
remain until dry.

all belligerent states and invite them
to pave the way to peace which will
be honorable for all parties by a con-
f1dential and unbinding exchange of
thoughts.
Full of gratitude, the Austro-Hun-
garian government hereby remembers
that touching appeal which his hon-
ness, the Pope, sent to all bellfger-
ents last year. with the exhortatton
that they seek an understanding and
live again in brotherly concord. Firm

which is recognized all over the
world.
ANIMATED by this thought, I re-
quest your excellency to submit the
inclosed text Of the note to his holi-
less."
In the communication issued by the
Austrian foreign office in connection
with the note to the belligerents and
neutrals regarding the proposed peace
step taken by Austria had been
brought to the knowledge Of the holy
see in a special note. It was added

After shrinking and drying,
the sparkling finish of the woollens is
gone. To restore this nap and finish,
the cloth is folded between alternate
layers of smooth, hard calendar boards
and subjected to hydraulic pressure of
forty thousand pounds to the square
foot. When taken from the press,
the wool has even more life, snap and
sparkle than before shrinking.
Stein-Bloch Smart Clothes
have always avoided the freakish and
the extreme They have, rather, ex-
pressed the dignity and refinement
that are foremost in demand by the
real red-blooded American, yet they
have been distinguished by unique
style features conforming to the need
of the men for whom they were de-
signed
Different ages, different
tastes, different figures, and different
environments all demand models and
styles to meet their own peculiar re-
quirements
Each group is studied by
itself lines, for sizes and for
woollens-and the style best adapted
for the group becomes the standard
style. A master-pattern is designed,
from which the range of patterns is
determined and made.
With the longs, shorts, stouts
and regulars in each size, and the
many sizes in each model, there are
literally hundreds of patterns to fit as
many different types and sizes Of men.
Consequently, unless a man
is unusually abnormal in figure, there
is at least one pattern in the Stein
Bloch shops that will produce gar
ment as perfect-htting as if it were
made solely and specially for him.
Accuracy in tailoring begins
with the marking. The difference in
the width of chalk lines may measure
the difference between good tailoring
and bad. When the patterns are
laid upon the woollens, spread out
on long tables, the outlines are traced
with chalk that is sharpened to IN
extremely fine edge.
So, also, in the cutting, every
stroke of the shears must be exact. In
order to avoid the variation between
the top and bottom layers that gener-
orally occxis when several thicknesses

u. S. Offer to Exchange
Grain Shipments With
Dutch Finally Accented

WASHINGTON, May 1o.-The an
nouncement from Rotterdam that the
Dutch government will start three
ships to America Saturday in exchange
for three vessels on this side means
that Holland finally has decided to ac-
cept the American offer to expedite
grain to the Dutch population.
When Dutch shipping was seized by
the United States and Great Britain
the United States informed Holland
that to meet the immediate food needs
of the nation it would dispatch three
vessels, grain laden, if Holland in ex-
change would start three for the United
States. The demand that three ships
start from the other side was to pre-
vent the. three set aside for the grain
shipments being held after their ar
rival on the other side It was feared
Germany might demand that they not
return.
Seven ships, loaded with phosphate
rock, oil, coffee and drugs, are now on
their way to Sweden, it was announced
to-day, under the recent temporary
agreement, by which the United States
will furnish supplies to Sweden in ex-
change for the use of 100000 tons of
Swedish shipping.

No Chevrons for

Especial Dispatch to The 7r,bune)
WASHINGTON. May 1o.-The Navy
department has officially ruled against
creating special insignia for members
OF the naval force who are wounded in
action. On the theory that sailors who
escape the enemy fire in many cases
prove moro valorcus than those who
are less lucky, the Bureau Of Naviga-
tion has decided that no distinguishing
marx shall be awarded by the depart
ment.
This view is shared by Secretary Of
'ne Navy Daniels, although numerous
oiiicers of the naval service. following
.he establishment of wound chevrons
oy .he war Department, urged that
similar action be taken by the NAVY
Department. A service stripe for the
present war, however, is to be
bestowed.
Proponents Of the plan to award in
sigma to officers and men wounded in
the war zone declare the action of the
war department in permitting SOL
alers to wear wound chevrons will ex-
tend to the Marine Corps by reason of
the fact that the marines are operating
win the army in France, and that fail
ure OF the navy to similarly decorate
its men who are wounded in the ser,

Bureau of Navigation officials, how
ever, declare that traditions of the
navy seriously would be violated if
wound chevrons or stripes were author

men in the war zone have urged against
creating naval decorations for wounds.
and that those who are actually in the
thick of the fray are the best Judges.

pointed out that Secretary Daniels does
