GERMANY MUST EXPORT
MUCH; IMPORT LITTLE
This is Economic Program Outlined BY
Government Obtaining Credits for Ma
terials Is Unanswered Problem.

Z Berlin-That Germany must import
as little as possible. and export as
much as possible for many months
to come Is the position the govern
ment's economic ministry took in an
official talk.
The ministry contends that Ger
many's Industrial future isn't all
black. and IL was stated that Minister
Schmidt looks confidently to a grad
ual dying out Of the political and In
drstrial unrest from which the nation
is now suffering.
Elimination Of these disturbing eie-
ments depends. however. on these
cardinal points: increase Of coal pro-
duction. importation of raw materials.
and food. II was stated. The ministry
looks obviously on the coal outlook.
which, Is recently pointed out by the
United Press. bids fair TO leave the
country semi-crippied this winter.
To build Up Experts.
The ministry's policy Is based on
building up of export trade on the
assumption that cotton, rubber. COP
per. petroleum and Its by-products can
be obtained from foreign countries.
Just how credits or raw materials
will be obtained or be paid for-no-
body in Germany at this, writing
seems to know very clearly although
there is much talk of longtime
credit" from America and elsewhere.
At present, Germany Ia in a position
only to export potash and dyes, with
a few other articles of comparatively
minor value.
Coal is the most important dues-
ton for Germany at this time" 1t
was stated. ut constitutes the to be
or not to be- for her; IL is everything.
As the situation stands. we are badly
behind even our last years produc-
ton. and II is doubtful IL we will be
able to supply even our minimum in
ternal needs. let alone delivering any
Goals to France this year"
VIII Work I'm France.
The ministry explained that unem-
ployment will be somewhat relieved
soon from the fact that many thou
sands of men will be sent to France
to aid in her rebuilding. Already
hundreds of applications are flowing

THE HOUSEHOLD
When Is a Club Sandwich?
Edited by ANNE RITTENHoUsE

Alas, how many culinary subter-
fuges have been committed in the
name of the club sandwich So
many, in fact, that one begins to won
der what club sandwich really is,
and when a sandwich ceases to be a
plain sandwich and becomes club. Is
it in the toasting of the bread or the
addition of mayonnaise, the presence
of bacon or the presence of chicken? :?
Some officials in Washington, bent
on popularizing cottage cheese, is
sued recipes while ago for the max
ing of all sorts of so-called club sand
wiches, all of which contained this
nourishing dairy product. But one
wonders whether the chef who first
invented and popularized the club
sandwich would have recognized any
of them as Club"
But now that peace has come per-
haps we can go back to our old ideas
regarding the club sandwich. We
used to think-did we not?-that the
fundamental ingredients for club
sandwich were slice of tomato, a
slice of the breast of a chicken, slice
of crisp, broiled bacon, crisp piece
of lettuce, two slices of toast and some
mayonnaise The two slices of thin,
buttered toast are essential. So is the
mayonnaise and the lettuce. Bacon
lends much to the savoriness of the
when possible in the ingredients which
make up the filling.
If you have no chicken on hand
and the dark meat, by the way, is as
good as the white meat for this pur-
pose-use some other meat. Try using
other vegetables besides the slice of
tomato, if that is not in the larder.
Try this: A slice of toast, a piece
of lettuce, slice of tongue, and
slice of broiled bacon, couple of
slices of crisp cucumber, some mayon-
naise and the topping piece of toast.
Here is another: A slice of toast
spread with sardines, rubbed to paste
and seasoned with mayonnaise, two
crisp slices of bacon, two crisp heart
pieces of lettuce. a spoonful of mayon-
naise and the top slice of buttered
bread. Try a slice of buttered toast,
9 slice of veal or lamb. some shredded
sweet green pepper, a sliced cucum-
Der, a piece of lettuce, some mayon-
naise, and another slice of buttered
toast-this combination when there is
no bacon. Another baconless combi-
nation calls for toast, lettuce. minced
boiled ham moistened with mayon-
naise, tomato and mayonnaise. A
really delicious sandwich can be made
with lettuce, mayonnaise, two slices
eff bacon, two of tomato and toast

Gown from Jenny, of Paris. in black
satin and brown homespun. The
slip has no back or sleeves, only
straps over shoulder. Jacket is full
at hips; the girdle is of hopespun.
This skeleton of a frock is the
French idea of conserving material. 1t
may serve as a good idea for our peo-
pie in hot weather.
The slip is of black satin and shows
line of homeSpun at the waist and
at top of bib.
The Jacket a Fathingale.
The jacket of this costume is quite
remarkable.
1t has a decided air. 1t is full on
the hips. as you will notice by the
sketch, and this fulness is held down
in a certain measure by a band of
homespun that goes thru the fullness
like hip belt. There is another gir-
die of this commonplace material on
the outside of the jacket at the regu-
lation waistline.
The wide revers are of homespun.
The sleeves are straight, three-quarter
affair." and give one the. impression of
being unfinished. They have no hem
and no cuff.
The back of the jacket has a
stitched band of homespun running
between the shoulder blades. and it is
finished with a ball tassel which dan
giles over the wAistline.
This gown has been described in de-
tail because it embodies several sig
nificant features of fashion, each one
of which may be in the gown that you
buy for spring. 1t is interesting, don't
you think, to know the source of the
fashion we choose
You know American designers
choose Paris gowns that give them
many new features to incorporate in
the clothes which they will turn out
here next month, and this gown was
imported because of its several ad-
mira bic suggestions. Therefore you
might want to know all about it be-
fore you see detached pieces of it in
corporated in your own clothes. 1t is
bound to be copied in part or in whole.

New York.-There is a slight sug-
gestion of The farthingale in the new
gown that Jenny, of Paris, exhibits IN
this country. This voluminous treat
ment of the hips is not the only novel
feature of the frock. but it is the most
significant one. The other interesting
feature is the combination of brown
homespun and black satin into street
frock.
1t is very difficult to think of these
two fabrics and colors placed grace
fully in juxtaposition, for we have
kept them apart during the centuries
They have been symbols of two diff
ferent classes in the social fabric OF
the world. He who wore homespun
and she who wore satin did not move
| in the same circles. One wore his
word homespun has become full OF
significance thru the centuries because
of its fixed place in the social order
of things, and the man or woman who
wore satin commanded the class that
wore homespun.
| Now, is this gown of Jenny's SYM
| bolic? Does it reflect the downfall of
satin and the uprise of homespun un-
til they both stand on the level land
| of democracy? Has the French de-
| signer, with her wit, inspiration and
vision. which the French put into their
l ClOlnoS DSCduS6 lHGy give " llChi lAiO
power of expressing history and phil
| osophy, created this gown of two SYM
| bolic fabrics as a reflection of the
social upheaval? 1t is quite likely.
The Frock Without Back.
| 1t is a curious frock all over, this
| homespun and satin affair. To begin
with, the foundation of the gown has
fno back above the waistline, and no
sleeves. 1t has merely big front
with shoulder straps like a nurse
maids apron that go over the shoul-
ders, down the back and fasten to the
| skirt. This keeps the skirt on and the
bib in place, for the latter serves as a
vest to the little jacket.
