BUSINESS SURVEY
 OF NEW ENGLAND
Dept. Of Commerce to InTesti- gate Industrial Conditions
Special to The Herald.l

NopeCldl 10 me deTalQ.l
 Washington, June II GP)-Com plying with requests from the bus mess interests of New England. anC particularly from the New England council, representing industrial and commercial interests of the six northeastern states. the department of commerce is inaugurating a mar keting and industrial survey Of that whole area with the cooperation and assistance of the council. Dr, Julius Klein. director of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, announced today.
 Trade trends affecting the produc- tion and distribution of merChan- disc will be studied and analysed by the department with particular em- phasis on ascertaining where the New England products are now be- Ing sold and whether they are be- ing distributed in their own New England market as intensively as possible.
 More basic information for gaug- ing the present and potential mar keting possibilities of the area will also be collected for the benefit of national distributors.
 Facts concerning the strength and character of the New England mar keting area as reflected by local in dustry. commerce and agriculture, subsidiary trade areas, purchasing habits, buying power. proportion of different nationalities, incomes. oc- equations and other trends of con- sumner buying habits vii be compil- ed by the department.
 Investigation of Industries
 A thorough examination of all New England industries will be made with the idea of analyzing their present difficulties in the meth ods of manufacturing or of market ing their products. Examination will be made of many of the meth ods used, including the question O high productive costs.
 The question of keeping up en- ployment steadily in place of per hitting seasonal occupation to have the usual disintergrating results will receive attention. Some attention will probably be paid to the obso- lescence of plants and equipment.
 The relation of New England to it's sources of raw materials will also be studied. Based upon these and other points, the survey will en- deavor to show for each industry the conditions influencing the prosperity of New England's major activities.
 While the present study is prim- arily link in the chain of commer- cial surveys of the major economic regions of the United States now be- ing carried on by the department of commerce, the trade of New Eng land generally, in pr. Klein's opin- ion, should be benefited by the intl- mate acquaintance with the vagar- ies of local purchasing habits as recorded by the survey and the fo- cussing of national attention on the trade possibilities of the area by official publication of the findings. He said his recent conferences with New England business men disclos- ed remarkable interest in the survey

and that he had decided to start the study at once because of the great demand for this information.

the pattern to advantage. There are
delicate patterns of lace which look
fimy and more exquisite when not
worked tight. but filet requires at
least medium tension.
Linen Threads.

must be remembered that numbers

bead chains of rare flneness. To be
sure, the beads were SO tiny that they
were almost impossible to get, and
the needle was merely a wire hair.
The necklace was very old and the

But it amply repaid in It's beauty

Silk for Crocheting.
Silk used in crocheting is gener-
ally called crochet silk, and this takes
size. No. | sewing silk is supposed
to correspond with 20 cotton, while
the 0. 90 and 600 grow finer accord
ing to the number of 0's. But these
extra fine letters are not obtaina bic
in many colors of silk. Except in
the regulation crochet silk, very little
crocheting is done with silk. Silk
crocheted lace is not vogue.

CHAPTER XXI.
A Woman's Pride.

Betty was sitting dejectedly by the
window when. at O'Clock, Jimmy
walked into the apartment. The lit
tie face that she lifted to his kiss was
full of reproach. but when she saw the
expression in his eyes her anger was
lost In concern.
What is it. dear? Has something
happened?"
HAS something happened, The
bottom went out of the market this
morning, that's all. | dropped quite
a lot, more than can afford. If had
been in town and on the job it wou d
not have happened. AS it is, ! got a
pretty setback"
Betty experienced a sickening thud
of her heart. Instead OF putting
through the deal that in Jimmy's
opinion would enable them to be mar
ried, he had lost money. She knew
very little about such things: she had
no idea how much was involved, but
it would mean another delay. and to-
day she had refused a case.
"Oh, Jimmy, dear. I'm so sorry"
She felt that her remark sounded
foolish and perfunctory. Don't
worry too much about it, dear. Some
thing else will happen, you know.
You're always having such marvellous
luck"
She drew him to a chair and sat on
the arm of it cuddled against him,
but his face did not tighten.
"You don't understand. At the
present moment I'm fairly up against
it. l wonder" lie hesitated and
flushed a dark red.
But before he could continue with
what he had to say. Betty, yielding tC
a sudden impulse. was plunging along
recklessly.
Jimmy darling, listen. Money
doesn't matter. / don't care a thing
about it. I know what you can do.
trust you absolutely. Let's get mar
ried. dearest. Everything will be sc
much better then. And you'll be sur
prised to see how 1 can manage. You
have plenty, dearest, more than enough
for the two of us. And. anyway, /

The number of thread and the size
of needles to use when making GRO
cheted lace proves puzzling to the
novice, and many questions come,
asking advice on the subject. 1t is a
little difficult to know what to advise
in many cases. for the use to winch
the lace is to he put is not always
stated. The coarSeneSS or fineneSS of
the lace should be in accord with the
use. And there is no way of finding
out whether the person crochets
loose or tight. This makes all the
difference in the world.
A satisfactory crocheted lace for
general purposes. however, can be
made with so cotton and a steel
needle either size IS or 10. Some of
YOU will prefer a finer needle, such
as 90, with 20 or 80 cotton. The finer
the needle and cotton, the narrower
the lace and the finer the work. More
time will be required to make a yard
for the average worker.
Concerning Tension.
The assumption in this Is that
workers crochet alike in their ten
siun-that is, their work will be
about the same in tightnesS of
stitch. OF course, If one uses a tight
tension. and another a loose one, the
same pattern will be much larger
when done by the woman who GRO
chefs loosely. When it comes to fflet
with the regularity of its meshes, a
loose crochet stitch does not show
