Institute Raising Funds

THAT the annual savings represent
The various research laboratories
throughout the United States are in
excess of $1,000, ,O00,0 900, il is proba bly,
we'll within reason to say" is a state
ment issued by the Massachusetts In
stitute of Technology committee in
charge Of the institutes $4,000 900 en-
dowment campa gn.
The committee has raised about 81
per cent Of the fund to date. and must
raise about $4,000 before January !.
in order to have the fund duplicated by
a Mr. Smith" One of the chief means
devised for reaching the necessary fig
ure is the so-called 'Technology plan, -
whereby. through the payment Of re
tainer fee. an industrial firm contracts
for the research facilities and expert
advice of Technology's faculty. Since
contracts amounting to approximately
S761,100 have been secured through
this feature, it is felt that Industry
cons ders il an unusual opportunity.

industry is to continue to guarantee
prosperity it must keep in direct con

realize the rspidity with which techni-

through research. the past quartz
century has added almost as man,
metals to the list as were discovered il

JEWELRY-Big Demand
For Beaded Hondb0rs

Local jewelers. report a great de-
mand for beaded handbags. The result
of the present rage is that bagmakers
cannot begin to keep up with the de-
mand. and it is not unusual to be told
on entering n wholesale house that
there is not 80 much as single bag

purchased in large quantities. The
most popular bead bag is that made up

COTTONS-Higher Prices
Named in Branded Nusiins

Advances of cents yard on brand
ed muslins and cambrcs, bringing the
price of one standard muslin to "a
cents yard. have been named by a
leading commission house. Thirty cents
for this fabric in October looked high
to buyers, but since that time the gray
or rough cloth from which the fabric
IS made has advanced to 80 cents a
yard.
This is a sample of what the cotton
goods trade is up against to-day. Prices
continue to climb steadily and appar-
emily no relief is in sight. Mills are
turning out only about 50 to 20 per
cent Of their normal yardage and con-
sumption appears to be Unsuitable
Mill agents have considerable ouan-
titles of orders on hand on which prices
have not been named. Buyers fully ex-
pect new price announcements will
show increases comparable to those
made in muslins and cambrics.

Fans in Fairmont arc going wild over
