Czechoslouakia Losing
Fancy Goods Workers

Increasing foreign competition, in
combination with the emigration of
skilled workmen to factories in other
countries, has brought about a crisis
In the Gablonz fancy goods industry
In the last few months, reports VIII
liam ]. Yoder, clerk to the commercial
attache at Prague, to the Department
of Commerce. The crystal goods
branch of the industry is especially
hard hit by conditions mentioned, par
ticularly that given over to the manu-
facture of glass bangles. Skilled work
ers on this class of goods have not
only been tempted into the employ Of
German manufacturers, but 1t Is also
said that Japanese manufacturers are
offering special inducements to en-
ployees of the Gablonz establishments
In order to obtain their services. Most
of the emigration, however, has been
to the town of Hirschberg, in German
Sllesia, where the. manufacture OF
glass beads, buttons and other novel
ties is growing steadily.
"a meeting was held in the Czecho-
slovak ministry of commerce at the
beginning of October" Mr.. Yoder re-
ports, ITO consider means of assisting
Gablonz ware manufacture and pre-
venting its complete disappearance
from the country. Representatives of
the manufacturers complained that
prices had fallen to such an extent
that they are now only about one
sixth of what they were in 1920.
'Wages have fallen to a low level
likewise, and it is this circumstance
that is causing so many Gablonz work.
ers to emigrate. Wages have reached
the low figure Of 30 to so crowns
($1S0 to $2.40) week for skilled
workmen. and in some cases even less.
The workmen say, with apparent JUS
tice, that 1t is impossible for them to
work efficiently at such low rates. The
fear is expressed that eventually
semi-manufactured goods will form
the chief article of export instead Of
the more valuable finished product"
Mr.. Yoder goes on to say that. al.
though the suggestion that the ex
pOrlatlon Oh DaDlonz ware De lorDiu
den for q certain period and other
measures of government regulation
were brought forward as of possible
benefit In alleviating the distress of
the Industry. strong opposition to such
action was expressed by representa-
tives Of the exporters and of the
chamber of commerce. He
adds that 1t is impossible to predict
the outcome of the situation.

that Enid was no more an invalid than
she herself, but that she was secretly
hopeful of capturing the doctor.
Sure enough, she had not been back
in New York ten days and in her trim
uniform as the doctors chauffeur
when she got her order to drive to that
stately mansion on Park avenue that
housed the semi-invalid and her ro-
bust brother, Jimmy. together with the
rest Of the family.
1t was six o'clock Of cool April
evening when the doctor stepped out
of his car, case In hand, and left Alice
with curiously beating heart. STU
pidl she admonished herself. Just
because you are sitting In front Of
Jimmy Walkers home"
When Doctor Wynne came out he
looked a trihe grave. Alice asked
quickly If Miss Walker was seriously
Ill.

sponded the doctor. ITS young Wal
ker-been working night and day, no
food, no interest in living-serious."
Alice had slckening feeling with

She had been miserably cruel to
Jimmy Walker. She knew that If he
had left her in complete ignorance of
his whereabouts-left her so that
through no means whatever she could
communicate with him. she. too, would
have suffered. She had not realized
that because Jimmy's love for her was
seemingly cheerful and light and I'M
worried, he loved her none the less
deeply and truly.
Alice jumped from the car and met
the doctors surprised eyes.
IT must go in and see Jimmy Wal
kerr" she said. "He loves me and l
have not been kind to him. Please
take me to him."
And up in that quiet room she went
straight to Jimmy's bedside and took
his head within her arms and stroked
gently the fever-tossed hair. I'VE may
have ups and downs, DEAR" she whis-
pered softly into that half-conscious
ear; 'but 1 will try to make them
mostly ups" Then very clearly she
said: IT love you, Jimmy-it Is Alice
Jimmy must have heard. A smile
drifted across his face.

At the right clever piece of de-
signing appears In a silk hat with
braid facing. The taffeta covering
seems to merge into big roses made of
folds of the silk and set about the
crown. One can imagine 1t In any of
those colorful taffetas that so delight
designers. Just below 1t a favorite
tailored type shows narrow black braid
stitched to white silk foundation. A.
ribbon collar run through steel buckles
finishes it.
Moire ribbon Is lavishly used on the
handsome Napoleon hat at the lower

to form covering for the upturned

Keeping Air Moist

In homes heated by hot air furnaces,
with registers in the floor, 1t is good
plan to keep cans of water hung in the
register. Any handy person can make
holes in a tin can in which to fasten q

narrow strip Of wood laid across the
furnace pipe. just below the floor level.
