That stocks of linen now in this

figures on imports during the last three
years. compared with pre-war years, by
the Derryvale Linen Company, Inc
Little or no linen is manufactured in
this country and therefore the imports
compose practically the entire supply

of plain woven linens of fax, hemp or

American Quality Wins
Prevails Over German Compe.
titiOn in Switzerland

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Recognized
American quality and standardized
manufacturing methods are response
bic for the landing of another order
by an American firm in the face OF
keen German competition in Switzer-
land, says report received in the De-
partment Of Commerce.
According to the report all impor-
tant American firm. manufacturers OF
overhead trolley lines and transmits
sion line equipment. with offices in Eu-
rope, recently landed very nice order
from Swiss interests located just across
the border from Germany. The order
developed at the High Tension Elcc-
trical Congress held in Paris.
After the contract had been signed
the American firm asked the Swiss
engineers why it was that the latter
had bought American equipment in
stead of German, which could have
been obtained at an undcniably lower
price.
The answer came slowly. after some
hesitation, and was to this effect: We
want high class standardized material
that is not changing all the time
Every time the Germans made us ar
offer they have got something better
an improvement over the devices the
offered last month.
In the opinion Of the American trade
representatives. who sent in the report
the experience of this firm proves thai
in spite feverything which has beer
said to the contrary, high class Amer

Production of Culture Pearls

Culture pearls are now being pro-
duced in japan on a small scale by

similar to the natural article. Some
Of these culture pearls are round and

are fiat on the back, where they are

from about so per cent of the oysters

variety. present prices ranging from
3 to 300 yen (about 81 so to $500 each,
depending upon the size and quality.
While the production of culture
pearls in Japan is evidently on a sue
cessful commercial basis, it is not
probable that this production, which
involves a Glow and costly process
will be large enough to affect the
price of the natural product

SEES PEACE FOR
ALL in RELIGION

Applied Religion" was tho tonic
OF the sermon delivered BIZ Rabbi
Lee j. Levinger at the Temple Beth
bmeth services last night. Rabbi
Levinger in his talk that religion. II
propery applied, would prevent all
disrppF ms and breaking Of the laws
wars. poverty. strikes and crimes
He brought out that religion is not
impractical, nor merely tReo-etical
because 1t is not religlon unless an
piled in daily life. Rabbi Levincer
said In part:
Religious people, idealistlc pao-
pie, are used to being called impract-
ical theorists because their hopes
have never reformed the world. The
fact is that the best the practical
men-the soldiers. politicians and
business men-could do was to brine
on the World War. and almost to de-
stroy the world No impractical
preacher could have aona worse than
that; he could not have allowed more
poverty or more industrial conflict
than has been caused by the practi-
cal men Of business during and since
ths war.
Religion has a longer view than
politics or business; it regards not
the welfare OF the coming year or
five years: religion considers All
time, the welfare OF all coming gen
erations. Therefore the religions
view includes that Of the practical
men and goes beyond it: the religious
view of the world Is the truest view
because II takes the longest look al
life of any view at all.
Applied religion would abolish
religious intolerance and substitute
religious cooperation. 1t would mean
seeing, II only for a moment. that
other religions than our own are
seeking the way Of God; that we are
all bound for the same goal in fact
even athough by different roads. III
we once apply religion we will never
try a different way again.
