LURE OF GLAZ E D
MATERIALS

When manufacturers first waxed cloth
and cotton fabrics II was for purely
practical purpose. II was to render
II waterproof or nearly so. Doubtless
the ducks back was the inspiration
for this Nature had endowed the duck
with pIumage so smooth and glossy
that water slipped from IL. so man
contrived q way TO make cloth that
would be as water resisting. Thus
before ever rubber had been invented
they waxed fabric TO make is as water
proof as possible.
Now OF course the waxed or cire
fabrics are bright and sleek and glossy
merely for the sake OF appearance. AS
matter OF fact, they are not literally
circ or waxed Modern science has
provided the manufacturers with a
process apparently more convenient.
And the fabric is seldom really water
proof as result Some times the
cire finish is quite spoiled by drops
OF water
This year OF grace 1921 might be
put down I'm the history Of costuming
as the year when the craze for glazed
materials was strongest. Gre ma
tcrials have tccn. in favor for several
years, but this autumn gives promise
OF Icing the time when they will be
seen in increased abundance.
We are not content to cire ordinary
fabric. Now we wax and varnish
everything that comes within reach of
our hands.

THE TRAGEDY OF THE zR.s

The tragedy of the ZR-2, the
giant airship purchased by the
United States from Great Britain,
which exploded over the City
of Hull yesterday just as she
was about to start for her new
home, is doubly lamentable. IL
not only took the toll of ntim-
Der of gallant lives, but it also
meant the wrecking OF great
hope. The IRE was looked to
as connecting link between the
two hcmispheres and as a direct
means of increasing the friendly
activities between nations.
We were all hoping that the day
had at last come when the people
of the earth would be able to
break down old barriers and lit
orally get together in human re-
lations and work out their mutual
salvation. Nothing could contri-
butte more TO this than making
easy and swift the means of travel
and communication. The ZR-2
was especially designed for that
very purpose. and showed every
indication of being able to fulfill it.
Eighty-hve feet i'll diameter. six
hundred and ininety-hve feet in
length. with a total lifting capa-
city of eighty-threc tons. she was
expected to cross the ocean m two
days and to be abfe-to fly at full
speed for a distance of FIVE thou
sand miles. If necessary.
Pioneers in any great history
making venture are inevitably
called on to sacrifice to the end
that the rest of mankind may go
forward. Such is the sacrifice of
the ZR-2. We may confidently
look for her successors to rise,
Phoenix like. from the ruins.

+ THE BUFFALO CONES BACK

Just when the older people
have become accustomed to the
thought that the buffalo. once SO
common in western Unite d
States, is for all practical pur-
poses extinct: just when the chill
dren arc'being brought UP to the
idea that the nearest they will
ever come to a buffalo is the pic
ture of one in their school gcog-
raphy. it is announced on highest
authority that this animal is null
tiplying SO fast in the Yellow
stone National Park as to have
become a problem. We had for
mulated theories which explained
to a nicely the cause of the de-
cline of the buffalo. We had con-
tented ourselves with the fact that
due to mans encroaching on the
domains of this animal, it was
now to be put in a class with tho
mastcdon and the fourtoed horse.
II would be only question of
time before the real article in the
way of buffalo robes would be
gone from the face Of the Garth.
