.EMBROIDERS LEATHER

A little touch of color in some form or another is necessary on the dark heavy dresses for winter. Either colored silk bindings or Things or embroidered bands and patches are the accepted thing. A friend of mine brought back from Switzerland the very serviceable dress. The idea is so good that it may be copied or slightly changed to great advantage and used as a guide for fall and winter frocks. It is made of heavy knitted material in a rich shade of royal blue. The weave of the goods is rather coarse and loose, much like the thicker quality of wool jersey we are used to:
 It is trimmed with bands of leather in a nice shade of gray, embroidered in orange and blue. The design is worked in diamond pattern and very long stitches are used. For the leather, tops of old gloves can be used, and the embroidery is done be- fore sewing the leather on the dress. A narrow band of leather is sewed

with highest authorities OF the
shipping world. He predicted that
within a comparatively short time
world commercial conditions will
become readjusted and that shipping
would start back into the column
of paying industries.
Conditions must improve" Liss-
ner said, "for the simple reason
they can't get any worse.
THE volume of commerce is be-
low that Of pre-war days. The
shipping freight rates are lower.
On the other hand, prices of COM
modities and wages of labor are
higher.
"Under present conditions it is
impossible to make money on cargo
vessels. Not only American but
foreign steamship corporations are
losing money. The foreigners are
living on their reserve of more
prosperous times"
Commissioner Lissner foresees- an
increase in freight rates and a big
boost in the volume of commerce
handled on the seas.
From the statement it was taken
the Shipping Board might propose
holding on to the active emergency
fleet until such time as with inn
proved market conditions for sale
of tonnage, the vessels may be
disposed Of to greater advantage
than now.

Prize Awards.
Last year the first prize was
awarded to the New Haven Better
Homes Committee. During the
week approximately 10000 people
visited the two model homes. The
cost Of this demonstration was less
than $500.
At Spokane, whose three model
houses received the second prize,
they made real western job of it.
Enthusiasm ran high through the
entire week among all classes OF
people in the City. Colleges, schools.
women's clubs, commercial clubs
and newspapers entered into 1t
with the fullest extent Of their
resources.
Down in st. Helena, in South
Carolina, model home was
equipped as a plantation cabin. A
remarkably interesting program was
carried out by negro men and
women.
In the prize-winning city OF
Hamilton, Ohio, the demonstration
was visited by 80 per cent OF the
population. At Turlock. they did a
remarkable job with a model house
at cost of SIT.
In the prize-winning town Of

Committee of Distinguished
Patrons Announce Plans
For Annual Campaign.

| A Better Homes Week campaign
for 1923 will be held June to 10.
This decision has just been reached
by the group of Cabinet officers and
nationally prominent women under
| the leadership of Herbert Hoover
Secretary of Commerce, and MRS. l..
G. Winter, president General Feoera a.
ton of Women's Clubs, who compose
the National Council of Better
Homes in America"
The determination to repeat the
campaign is the result of the ire
mendous success and enthusiasm OF
the demonstration in 961 towns ana
cities last October. Women through
out the country have been invited by
Mr.. Hoover, as chairman Of the
council, to join the campaign.
Credit Given Women.
Said Mr.. Hoover:
sThe women of this country
chiefly are responsible for the sue
cess of last years campaign
Again, this year, its success Will
rest on their shoulders. They will
be ably supported by Chambers or
Commerce, Rotary Clubs, Adver-
Using Clubs and various other
civic organizations and government
departments.
Better Homes Week has been flXed
for the late spring, so as to give fuA-
est possible opportunity to outdoor
demonstrations such as fetes, con-
certs, pageants and plays.
Better Homes is not a back-to-
the land movement, nor an own
your-own home propaganda. IL
is a comprehensive treatment OF
the whole home problem.
No funds are being raised, Sec
rotary Hoover has pointed out. 1t
is a drive to exploit the fullest
opportunities for better housing
conditions, better grasp of what
can be done with a limited In

more conscious effort on the part
of all members Of the family to.

Suggested BY President.
The campaign for better homes is
the outgrowth of a suggestion mads
in a speech by President Harding
in 1921. Mrs. William Brown Me
loney, editor Of the Delineatol
took it up and crystalliZed it into
a national campaign. Mrs. Meloney
is now secretary of the Nationa
Council which has taken charge Of
the movement.
One week every year is desig
mated as Better Home week. Com
| munities everywhere prepare mode
houses and apartments in tene
| ments to show what can be done
with a given income and to bring
to a focal point the years work in
| the improvement of home condd
tons. @
Already hundreds of communi
ties are organized and at work pre-
pairing the model house and the
| program Of attractive events, with
which they plan to sentertain and
instruct the people OF their com
munity.
In his Endorsement Of the cam
paign this year President Harding
struck the keynote Of the Better
Homes idea.
I know Of no matter so intimately
connected with the life of our
! people to which we can give great
err devotion and service for funda-
mental improvement than the up

! home ownership but the actual

consideration of advanced material
| comfort, but the soundness of our
social system and stability Of our
| country are greatly enhanced by
the development of love for home
and the creation of a home that
can be loved.
In his nationwide invitation for
| communities to join the demon
stration, Mr.. Hoover said:
Hundreds OF communities, large
and small, in every section Of the
| United States, have conducted
Better Homes demonstrations
with wonderful success. Many who
participated last year considered it
| the most worthwhile public serv-
ice since the work Of the war.
Every community needs such a
| demonstration. A successful cam
|
paratively little time, effort and
| money. The chief essential is a
desire to serve the home commu-
| nifty.
Each of you can help by CO.
operating with your local commit
tee, or by organizing a commit
| tee, If one has not been formed.
Better homes means better bust
ness and better citizenship.
