Riches in COrnstalks
Silk Worm Has Competition

For some time silk has been produced articaly from
spruce logs after process which discovered Europe
world both in excellence and volume Of product and in the
amount Of consumption
Now is announced that the manufacture Of synthetic
silk from cornsaks the for which invented by
Dr. Bella Dorner the Hungarian chemist is to be taken up
this country especially utilize the products the
great belt Of the Middle West In addition silk the
conversion Of the cornstaks win yield paper moonpcu
films explosives acquers artificial leather and other useful
products
Il is becoming question whether we will not in time
abandon the skworm altogether, synthetic silk will be
found cheaper and Just good far the average
to which it is put concerned It true the synthetic
product not elastic that given forth by the skwom
nor has the degree Of strength but in modern days
this is scarcely defect.

QUESTIONS OF
ETIQUETTE
irs. Cornelius Beeckman-

The Engraved Card
MY DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
RECEIVED Christmas greet
i ing card during the past sea
son engraved as follows:
Mrs. and Mr.. John Doe"
Presuming this is from mother
and son, who perhaps both carry
the same name, and also figuring
the mother is an elderly person. is
the above correct? If not. would
like very much to know the correct
way, other than the mother and
son individually sending their own
engraved cards:
2. What are the correct forms in
engraving for husband and wife,
other than ''Mr. and Mrs. John
j. Doe" IL any?
A READER.
The form, Mrs. and Mr.. John J.
Doe. to mean a mother and her
son, is not good. To double up
on the names in this manner would
inevitably make the form con-
spicuous. and that means that the
form is not good
OF course. the very best taste
would be for the mother to send
her cards and the son to send his.
The next best thing to do is for the
sons name to be engraved under
the name of his mother:
Mrs. John Jay Doe
and
Mr.. John j. Doe, jr.
Send heartiest greetings
for a Merry Christmas.
2. am not sure what you mean
here. The only form of engraving
for the use of husband and wife
Is the Mr.. and Mrs. John Jay Doe,
which you mention. In engraving
we should avoid abbreviatiens lex
cept the necessary Mr.. and Mrsl.
Perhaps / didn't understand
your question? II I haven't, will
you write me again, please, and
give me another chance?

JUNE BRIDES

Various authorities agree that the
Romans are responsible for the be-
lief that June is the luckiest month
of the year for weddings. At any
rate, we hear more about the June
bakdes in this country than is heard
of brides of any other month, al
though marriage license totals vary
little from month to month. The am
Gent belief was that wedding would
be particularly happy if it fell on b
day when the moon was full or dur,
ing the conjunction of the sun and
moon.
There was an old saying in Eng
land that if you "marry in Lent,
you'll live to repent" Another nd
ton that took rhyming form was:
ITO change the name and not the let
ter, is change for the worse, and
not for the BETTER" The Scotch had
a proverb that it was ''better to mar
ry over the hidden than over the
moor" the meaning being that it was
luckier to marry some one near at
home to venture into strange nei-
ghborhood to find bride. l
In view of present fashions for w0-
men, it is somewhat interesting to
read of an old Russian marriage GUS
tom where the bride-to-be was re-
quired to dress in short red jacket,
white petticoat that only came to
her knees, and go to heA prospective
husband and kiss his feet. Then on
her return home, she. was forced to
cut off her hair. This was mark Of
submission to the superior will of the
husband. The bride nowadays is
likely to have bobbed hair, but it
probably would be unwise for the
bridegroom to suggest that short hair
put the bride in second place. The
Russian bride went into period Of
temporary mourning because of the
loss of her beautiful tresses and wore
what the natives called platoke, to
hide her shorn locks, until such time
as the hair was long enough to be
exhibited again. s*t

Midnight on July End will see this
offer closed forever. Those who are
not now carrying War Risk Insurance
must pass physical examination,
reinstate themselves ON the War Risk
Insurance rolls, and must then 1torl-
vert this reinstated insurance into
one Of the seven forms of perman-
ent policies. This can all be DONE at
one time. Those who are carrying
War Risk Insurance at the present
time must also take immediate &C
ton. This War Risk Insurance must
be converted into one of the perman-
ent forms of policy before midnight
July End. This can be done without
physical examination. In all cases
the application must be accompanied
by the necessary premium payment.
Full information and assistance, to-
gether with the necessary forms may
be secured from the officers of all
Service Organizations, American Red
Cross, and the Veterans Bureau.
The following outstanding facts
should be remembered concerning this
insurance. 1t is participating. It
has liberal cash surrender, loan and
extended insurance values. Each pol
icy contains permanent and total
disability clause at no expense to the
policy holder. The benefits of this
permanent and total disability clause
will become effective even though the
only cause of permanent and total
disability is the lack Of physical Wig
or caused by advancing age. All ov-
erhead expenses, after the policy is
taken out, are borne by the Federal
Government, making this insurance
the cheapest and best available to
service men. 1t is guaranteed by the
United States Government and the
liabilities under the policy will be
at all times carried by the Govern
ment. There are seven kinds of pol
icies to meet the needs of all. 1t is
available to men who were disabled
during the service, providing their dis
abilities are not permanent and total
Reason, necessity, conscience, and
good business indicates that every
eligible man should take as much as
he can afford to- carry.

total disability or old age. He has
increased his credit and has made
himself an asset to the community.
The veteran who takes out one of
these policies has proven to those
around him that he is not only will
ing to defend the nation in time of
war, but is also willing to do his
share in providing the comforts of
life to his family and dependents in
times of peace.
1t is estimated that about 10000
policies are held by veterans in the
state of Minnesota, totalling about
$50, 100000. If the estimated co.
600 veterans who are without poll
cies should follow this example there
would be added 100000, 900 of pro-
lection in the state of Minnesota. By
so doing they would render an out
standing service to themselves, their
families, and the state.
1t must be remembered that there
are but few days left in which this
important action must be taken.

The Industrial Exposition to be held here in March under
the auspices Of the Washington Chamber Of Commerce backed
by the trade bodies Of Washington awakening deep
est among all Washington people who suitable
proper development of manufacturing opportunities
Commissioner Doughery who has had fine business expert
ence the District has given his hearty Endorsement to the
purposes Of the exposition he thinks there is great field
here for economic progress He sums up his views in this
manner:
1T clear that within certain very definite limits
the plans for the Identification of wonderful city and
the plan for making it important than is in
commercial sense forward hand in hand the
aiding the other. S.
I'm connection with this whole plan which as see it.
has very deep meaning for the District Of Columbia as
whole and the individual citizens thereof the part which
and doubt will be played by certain territ0resscon
tiguous to the National Capital Of first Importance
There certain locations Immediately beyond the
fines Of city which have all the advantages factory
sites and industrial communities of any region in the entire
country They leave nothing to be desired from any point
of view and the development the sound and welnformed
development of commercial endeavors there will have
very definite and very constructive effect upon the life
of the District of Columbia
The development of these regions for the purpose in
mind will be of quite marked benefit that Of those
intracy endeavors whose cumulative efforts will be
graphically displayed at the Industrial Exposition With
such development, that of distinct type within the
city and another very distinct type outside the city, yet
within not than very few minutes ride from it. Wash
ingon will be possessed of mighty force which will work
Tor its economic upgrowh and its general civic develop
.ment.'
Washngtons magnificent future is assured if we do not
develop the manufacturing and commercial opportunities to be
found here and in the this city soon to form
part Of the Greater Washington which all city planners
ahead Yet how much greater will be future we en-
courage additional commercial activities.
Washington is attracting worldwide attention as city of
residence This due to its marvellous beauties its
ceed attractions It's unusual educational opportunities its
housing Of the official activities Of the nation.
There should be conflict between Identification and
greater commercial progress The very of Washington
throughout the country. Made in Washington D. Co. ought
to be worth something.
