A sILKEN ERA.

We are in a silken era The United States
has long been the greatest consumer of raw silk
in the world but now our consumption of silk
is greatly increasing. According to the Com
fmerce Monthly, issued by the National Bank OF
Commerce, New Yorw City, this country used
thirty four million pounds of raw silk during
the year ending June thirtieth, 1919, and this
liz half the worlds supply, an increase in i'm
port of more than forty-four per cent above the
average of the period from 1910 to 1914.
Let it be noted first, that this consumption
lis entirely dependent on imports; second, that
Japan is the worlds greatest exporter OF raw
silk, in 1919 supplying by her output three
Eifths of the total production; third, that the
demand for manufactured silks is steadily IN
icreasing in our markets and consequently this
industry is growing to great proportions The
first fact bears directly on our planning for de-
Ivelopnient of our merchant marine; the more m
idustries that we build to great proportions that
must depend on import of raw materials, the
more our ocean tonnage assumes Importance to
us. The second fact bears directly ON our trade
relations with Japan and China. Japan i'm
iports from China vast amounts Of raw silk to
export in turn to us; we are being more closely
bound by a silken tie to Japan which in turn
greatly needs our steel product The third
products is growing with us out of proportion
to that of less costly ones, fact which our ex-
Eperts declare has much to do with rising costs.
An old bachelor Philadelphia has just paid
ten thousand dollars out of the savings of
twenty years for piece of japanese art work.
He says that he knows nothing about the reas-
onableness or unreasonableness of the price, but
inasnuch as he could buy the object without
detriment to anybody he knows he has the
worth Of his money. There is good philosophy
here The worth of anything is after all per-
sonal matter. The Philadelphia art lover may
get more real contentnent out of his ten-thou-
Isand-dollar purchase than Of any investment he
could have made. This works both ways;
things that cost little may be of great worth to
many people. The cultivation of taste for
things easily had at low cost whose value is
really determined by ability to enjoy them is
kind of education we shall value more highly
as we become wiser.

Sure Way to Get
Rid of Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails
to remove dandruff completely and that
is to dissolve it. This destroys it en-
tirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain. ordinary 1iquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace Of it, no matter. how
much dahdruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous
glossy, silky and soft, and look and
feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. It is inexpensive, - and four
ounces is all you will need. This sim
pie remedy has never been known to
fail. adv.

WILSON ADRIATIC
REPLYLEAVES WAY
FOR COMPROMISE

WASHINGTON, March THE re-
joinder Of President Wilson to the last
note OF the French and British preniers
ON the Adrauc situation was placed
on the cables Thursday night and Fri
day was in the hands Of American dip
Lomatic agents in Europe The message
probably will be decided today and laid

The state department declined to
'inake public the contents of the note
or intimate the position the president
e bad taken on the proposal contained in
+ the recent Anglo French communlca-
ton.
In preparing his answer President
. Wilson had before him the proposal Of
the premiers that the United States
. join IN seeking settlement of the
Adriatic problem through direct ne
Eotiations between Italy and Jugo-
Slavia. The text for the proposal was
+ taken from q statement IN Mr.. VIII

+ pate in a joint proposal to Italy and
/. Jugo- SlaVia to this effect and what
answer he has made was not revealed.
II was noted, however, the summary of

4 showed even should such efforts bring
no results, further triangular discus

advance. only after such provision was
Z made did the premieTs recall that should
/. no voluntary settlement prove possible,
9 ultimately they would feel compelled to
return to the treaty of London with
+ Italy and its proposed distribution OF
territory bordering on the Adriatic, to
which Mr.. Wilson has been steadily
!. opposed since the terms of the pact
:. were disclosed.
In. diplomatic circles here there was
y much conjecture as to the possible sig
< nificance Of announcement that the SUI
preme council would reassemble at San

Serbs. 1t was suggested this arrange
ment might forecast the reopening of
efforts to adjust the Adriatie dispute,
!. Some officials, also were inclined to
y the opinion JugO-Slavia would welcome
7 direct negotiations with Italy under
the circumstances, whether the United
= States was party to the proposal from
y the council to that effect or not.
In any event it was again noted, the
