When Fashions Were UoIy

The poor old Victorian age, and
particularly the later part of II, is
now taxed with having produced the
ugliest of fashions in dress. This
has been observed In London in the
course Of the preparation of the cos
TUNED ball, where all fashions of the
Victorian epoch were to be repre-
scnted. No one wanted to wear the
costumes of the last twenty years Of
the nineteenth century. and they had.
therefore. to abandon representing Il.
Mr.. Solomon J. Solomon. president
of the Royal Society OF British Ar
lists, when interviewed on this sub
Ject. declared that the period OF tire
end of the nineteenth century had. In
fact. been remarkably ugly from
every point of view. The furniture
was ugly, the decoration was ugly,
and the influence OF such men as
Ruskin and Morris had not yet made
itself felt. The ugliness Of that period
was really the product Of a whole
particular civilization Of rich but
cultureless people, which expressed
itself in heavy, cumbersome works,
devoid of beauty. 1t was the time Of
the leg of mutton sleeves, hoop petit
coats, and the "bustics." horrible ex-
crescences quite different from the
crinoline, which was not unpleasirs
and had at least the advantage of
giving to women the scmblance OF
walking we'll when they themselves
did not know it,"
Solomon's condemnation Is chiefly
addressed to the English fashions.----

Cotton Legislation in India

India possessed raw materials
which England needed. 1t offered
market for English manufactures.
The policy of free trade was adopted.
Most Of the bitterness on the Indian
side has centered in the question of
cotton and cotton manufactures,
which constitute the largest item in
Indian export and import figures.
Throughout the trading world, Indian
textiles were formerly noted for their
excellence. Manucci in his chronicle
refers several times to the superior
quality of white and printed cloths
manufactured in certain centers,
where Armenian traders were gen.
orally to be found, "wno buy the
cloth and send it to various parts.
Sometimes European traders come
there to do business in this CLOTH"
The popularity of Indian hand loom
cloths early aroused the jealousy of
the English cotton producers. One
cannot argue with simple fact. The
Indian Year Book states that the
trade grew so large that it excited
alarm in England, and it was killed
by q series of enactments, commence
ing in 1901, prohibiting the use or
sale of Indian calicoes (the name is
derived from Calicut on the West
Coast of India, where this kind of
cloth first became known) in Eng
land" With the invention of the
spinning jenny, hand-loom COTTON
was doomed, and in earnest England
set about making India dependent on
Lancashire for her main supply OF
cheap cloth. When the Lancashire
cotton manufacturers foresaW IN 1917

up around Bombay might eventuall!
become a threatening rival. they pc
gan an agitation for the adoption Dv
Parliament of a free trade policy in
India. 1t was pointed out not only
that home interests would be served
Int that undoubtedly the Indian con-
sumers would derive benefit; Tor

against cotton entries toward tne
close of the century. Wnen tne ques

ir tho Iirht of a protective tariff for

all the productions of the Indian
Mills FINALLY, in 1917. the House OF
Commons agreed. again as measure
of finding finances for the strugGilns
government. that English cotton I'M

Not a Nation of Renters

Is home owning a lost ambition
Are we becoming a nation of cliff
dwellcrs and renters? Not if we put
faith in the figures complied by the
lately established bureau of housing
of the Department of Commerce.
or the IS cities of more than 100.-
600 population but 20 show a loss in
percentage of homes owned between
1910 and 1920 the figures are from
the census bureaW and the losses
are more than offset by the gains of
the other 4S. OF the 90 where losses
We're recorded. four--Dctroit, Cleve-
land, st. Louis and Los Angeles-are

Although in New York more homes
are owned than in any other city the
percentage is the lowest, but 1877,
yet even here the percentage has
grown from III in 1910 and 12.1 in
1900. Manhattan presents the most
striking situation. With more than a
half a million homes, less than 11.000
were owned, little more than per
cent.
If home owning be a form of civic
virtue, then Dcs Moines may gather
her chaste skirts about her as paint
ed Manhattan passes. for the Iowa
paragon among cities shows a per-
ccntage of home ownership of SIP,
q growth from 45.G per cent in 1910
and oS.5 in 1900. In only one other
community of more than 100000 in
habitants are half the homes owned
and that is Grand Rapids. Mich

Water Goes to Waste

More than a third of all water ac-
tually applied to irrigated lands in
the Colorado river basin is worse
than wasted" says DR.. Frederic +.
Clements, of the Carnegie institution
desert laboratory at Tucson, Ariz.
1T might be conserved to render
thousands of additional acres fertile.
1t actually reduces the growth of the
crops.
ut has been shown" he asserts,
that there is a rapid reduction in
bushels of wheat for each additional
inch of water above seven inches, and
in India it has recently been demon
strated that there is frequently
larger return with one irrigation than
with two. 1t must be realized that
air is almost as important to roots as
water.
Apart from the great saving made
possible in this way. one nearly as
great may be brought about by re-
cognizing that rainfall fiunctuates in
more or less definite cycles, and by
constructing reclamation and irriga-
ton systems on the expansion con-
traction basis to take care Of this
flunctuation. The only time to pre-
pare for a period Of rainfall deficit is
during a period of excess. If further
investigation confirms the theory
that rainfall bears a relation to sun
spots and that drought may be eX-
pccted at sun spot maXima and wet
periods at the minima. it will be pos
sible to predict the major variations
in rainfall and to base the use OF
water on such knowledge" Science

Citrus Fruit By-Products

To offset the serious losses in the
citrus fruit industry occurring
through bruised, understood or over
sized oranges, grapefruit and lemons
usually allowed to go to waste, the
bureau of chemistry Of the United
States Department of Agriculture
has investigated methods for getting
products that will return a profit
to the grower. Some of these pro-
ducts require a preliminary expense
for equipment, but it has been DEM
onstratcd that the investment can
soon be made profitable.
Grapefruit juice, which is increas-
ing in popularity, can be easily made
if directions for pressing, straining.
pasteurizing. clarifying, sweetening
and bottling the juice are carefully
followed. These directions may be
obtained from the department.
A blend of grapefruit juice with
loganberry juice has been found pop
ular. Orange vinegar is n satisfac-
tory substitute for apple vinegar and
should be made in districts where
many Gull oranges would otherwise
be a total loss. Citric acid is a valu-
able commercial article which can be
made from Gull lemons or lines II
proper apparatus is installed.
Other by-products from citrus
fruits often wasted include candied
citrus peel, for use as a CONNECTION or
by bakers in place of citrOn, MARINA
ladies', jellies, buffers and pectin.

Rich Suffer From Boredom

"You have to be poor to enjoy the
flavor Of life," says Kathleen Norris,
in explaining why the engaging hero
inc in "The Beloved Woman" turned
down a millionaire almost -ambassa-
dor cold for a poor sutton and why
Stephen Winship in "Lucretia Lom-
bard" did not weigh wealth and an
assured position against n great love.
Poor people are never bored with
life. 1 had lunch today" she contin-
ued, "in a restaurant filled with rich
women. Honestly, / don't think the
explosion of a bomb in the room
would have stirred them-they were
so bored. And 1 thought to myself.
You poor, pathetic parasites, putting
your white-glovcd hands into your
gold mesh bags to pay $3.50 for a
single lunch. What are you getting
out Of life?'
1T was the daughter of one Of these
women, little girl of sixteen, whose
mother found that she and a boy
friend of nineteen had hired n fiat to-
gcther, in which-innocen.ly enough,
1 believe-the two were entertaining
their young friends after the theater.
And when the mother asked the girl,
You have everything-whyo on earth
did you do such a thing as this?' the
sixteen -year-old answered. YEARLY,
I was so bored. mother!'

Raro Copy of Bible

Protestant Bible printed in Latin. has
recently come into the possession of
the Public Library at Cambridge,
Mass. says the November Popular
Mechanics in an illustrated article.
1t is valued at 100000 by the library
authorities. which seems reasonable
in view of some book transa ctions.
The printing of this edition was
done in 1927, at Cologne. by Peter
Quentel, who shortly before had
printed an edition of the New Tesla
ment for Tyndalc. The text is in
black letter, with numerous woodcuts
by Anthony of Worms, some Of which
had been used in the Grenville edi-
ton of Tyndale's English New Testa-
ment, published in 1926.
