LONDON.-Legislation prohibit
ing the Importation of synthetic dye
stuffs, excepting under license, will
be enforced as quickly as possible,
according to statement made by the
president of the British Chamber of
Commerce.
The announcement was made at a
recent meeting of the> Color Users
association. 1t was also stated that
it is the definite opinion of the
British government that synthetic
color making factories run by ex-
perts with a competent staff of
chemists and equal to those of any
other nation are essential to ma
tional security and that the govern
ment had agreed to give financial
assistance in order to allow certain
schemes of research work to be COM
pleted.

When you and I were young may
have been number of years age
and then again it may have been but
few. That is not the question tC
be discussed at present except that
in those days the children did not
dress as they do now. We did not
realize it at the time, and neither
did our we'll meaning parents, but
the snap shot taken of us at the
birthday party or in the Sunday best
goes to prove beyond a doubt that
the youngsters of today are dressed
in more attractive toys than we
were.
Not only are they more attractive
but they are more practical and far
more comfortable. For the young
ster under five the business in life
is play. Ask any kiddie of that age
you meet how she has put in her
day, and if she can talk at all she
will tell you with a lisp or jargon
of her own choosing, that she has
Been playin'." If she has not
reached an age where she can CO.
herently express herself in words,
she will probably wiggle a toe at
you and continue to chew her fling
ers, which when translated, means
practically the same thing.
The designers of our day did not
seem to get this point or at least
they disregarded it when they saw
fit to make up fashions for that
day and age. However, we are not
going to discuss the fashions of
bygone day, but rather those of the
ever poppy present.
For the baby there are the usual
little dresses made with kimona or
set in sleeves, and the trimming of
the little frock varies according to
the taste and the ambition of the
mother. Some are stripped with
lace, others are made of specially
designed embroidery patterns with
Philippine or Madeira work. Some
combine the lace and the embroid-
cry. For the every day baby dress
however, the one in which most of
the business of play is done, the
more simple models are more favor
able, they wear better and they wash
better and they take infinitely less
bother and time to make and to
keep in order.
For trimming they rely on little
feather stitching, bit of shocking
and few French knots. Most of
them are finished with narrow edge
of fine lace and they one and all
button up the back.
The coats for the coming winter
are made in all the lighter shades
preferably white and of such materi-

GRAVE WARNING ISSUED BY SEC.
RETARY OF TREASURY GLASS
ON THE SUBJECT.
ECONOMY is NECESSARY
Government Is Now in Position to Pay
Up All Indebtedness, il Care 10
Exercised and Congress
Makes No Breaks.

Washington.-Anothe Liberty loan

on new fields of large expenditure OF
reduces the aggregate volume of
taxes Secretary Glass declared In a
statement setting forth in detail the
governments financial condition. II
the present tax level is retained and
new expenditures are kept down, the
turn has come in the tide of govern
ment financing. the secretary asserted.
| Barring the congressional action
mentioned, Mr.. Glass believed the
treasury would be able to pay it's own
way from tax and war salvage re-
ceipts. Although further issues of
treasury certificates of Indebtedness
may be expected, they will be re-
deemed from cash on hand rathe-
| than through the sale of new issues OF
certificates for the first time since
1917. The treas Try secretary directed
attention to statements made early in
September, in which he expressed the
opinion that the strain had lessened
and that after Jan. 1 the govern
ment's financial problems would more
easily be solved
AS indicative OF the progress made
by the treasury in solution of these
problems, Mr. Glass pointed to reduc-
lions between Sept. 1 and Jan. /, in
the nations gross debt and in the two
classes of certificates of indebtedness
outstanding, the gross debt, which
on Sept. 1 was S26.596, 7O1,64S, was
s25, S37, 07S,S07 on Jan. l. Reduction
In the floating debt numatured treas
ury certificates of Indebtedness of |
$685., 1858, $50 has been made since Sept. |
l. leaving the total outstanding OBJ |
legations OF this nature at $3,57S,- |
$4,000 on Jan. 1. A reduction of |
$685., 800 was reported for the same
period in the outstanding so called
loan certificates. leaving $1,326, 661, 900
Of these yet to be funded
The loan certificates outstanding
Ian. were of issues maturing JAN 2,
ian. 10, Feb. 2 and Feb. L. All of
hese, the secretary said. have been or
will be paid out of cash on hand Jan.

issued in anticipation of

tallments due during the present
ear. Mr.. Glass believes this indi-
etes success for the treasury plan to
void further large funding operations
nd for financing the unfunded por-
ions of the war debt.
