THAT is SHEER

Concrete, steel, stone, steamships
and locomotives are matters of in
dustrial news interest, but such in
terest is not confined to objects OF
tremendous size and strength. Pro-
ducts of sheerest construction and
delicate, artistic consistency are im-
portant in modern American trade
Take embroidery, for example.
Industries concerned with whims
of fashion are, of course, always IN
fairly precarious position. and IN
such state did the embroiderers
find themselves a few years ago
when fashion decreed temporarily
against their handiwork.
Like all important phases OF fash
ion, embroidery had been doomed to
a cycle of unimportance. 1t had been
through these cycles before. 1t had
experienced periods of fame, and
periods of being dispatched to hand
me-down wardrobes of poor kin, "
and the "scrap bag" 1t had bob0ed
up again; not alone because OF the
inevitably recurring fashion cycle,
but because it is in the deeper sense
an expression of art, a charming,
lovely, gayly artistic expression OF
textile beauty. -.
/. Those of you who watch the re-
turn of old style loves have no
doubt, therefore, been happy to site
the return of embroidery. Incidental
ly this reinstatement of an erst-
while favorite has put many hun
dreds of American embroiderers to
work once more with fine durene
warns on all manner of materials
piques, linens, batistes, and marqul-
settes.
Ever since 1896 those who have
enjoyed the beauty of embroidery
have been enjoying the output of an
old and fine American Industry
mercerized cotton. Nowadays, how
ever, this industry has set up GER
tain stringent standards for the
mercerizing of cotton, and all yarns,
made by whatever firm, maintaining
these high qualities are called dur
enc, a word derived from two inher-
ent uualities-durability and sheen.
Other cottons are less lustrous, and
the durene process, incidentally,
makes cotton considerably stronger.
So that the embroiders of 1880 us
ing their customary textile medium
have been met more than half way
by the industry supplying this med

"HE fortunate few who can
pack their trunks when the
Il first warm days come round
and scurry off to spots where
breezes are generally cool just put
their valuable furnishings in moth
balls and board up their doors and
windows. The stay-at-homes may
make the best of their situation by
transforming their town houses in
to places as refreshing and cheer
full as proper decorating can make
them.
Heavy winter draperies usually
come down first, airy ones replac-
ing them and bringing the fresh
ness of summer indoors. Slip COW
ers of light colored linen or cretonne
hide the upholstered furniture that
offered such inviting warmth all
winter. Rugs are taken UP here
and there, broad expanses of var.
nished or painted flooring adding
to the cool effect.
The purpose of this household
transformation is two-fold: it
makes the house cooler and it sim
plifes household tasks. In acquir-
ing the first of these two summer
requisites the importance of light
colors cannot be stressed too for
chilly. Light colors not only look
cool but they actually are cool.
This is best illustrated by the, in
fluence on the temperature of a
surface painted white. The white
surface acts as mirror, bending
the heat rays so that they are
twisted around and shot out again.
On the other hand, black absorbs
the heat. Some colors are as much
as ten degrees warmer than lighter
ones experiments have proved.
Next to white and delicate
tints, the lighter colors are the
coolest: Cream, blue, gray and
green are in this class. And be-

her furniture. Nothing, if it is
properly enameled, as this protects
it from sun and rain.
When rugs are taken up after
a winter of wear, the floor does
not always look its best in certain
spots. The bare floors seem so
cool and refreshing when they are
nicely finished that they play a
prominent part in the scheme of
cooling off the house. When the
floors are to be re-varnished they
should first be cleaned and lightly
sandpapered. If they have become
badly cracked or Clipped during
the winter it will be necessary to
sandpaper them more thoroughly
or, more satisfactory still, to use
a paint and varnish remover and
then retiniSh.
Colored floors fit into many
types of homes. especially those
Of the early Colonial or American
cottage design. Some shades of
floor paint, such as blue or green,
although attractive all the year
around, are especially appropriate
for summer. A stencil border gives
the painted floor an individual
touch especially when rugs are not
used. Gay inexpensive little rugs
replacing the dark winter floor
coverings seem to send the mer-
curry down a few more degrees.
With attractive backgrounds the
left-behinds need not think so re-
morsefully of the fresh breeze that
may be blowing at the mountain
or shore resorts. Those who spend
their days making the house a
home have a pleasant setting in
which to perform their duties.
Those who go out into the busi-
ness world look forward all day
to the time when they may return
to a place where even the colors
are conducive. to cool thoughts.

SUGAR FUTURES AT
ALL-TIME NEW LOW

Prices of raw sugar for future de-
livery are now at the lowest level Ill
seventy years, which is as far back
as the records go. The spot price OIL
refined sugar has not yet shown
corresponding slump, but 1t IS at Il
depressingly low level.
Oyer-expansiOn of world prOduc-
ton is chiefly responsible for the
present depressed state of the sugar
market, according TO the current
Business Conditions Weekly OF the
Alexander Hamilton Institute. the
world output rose from l6,O7l'OOO
long tons in the 1919-2O season 10
81 .0S7 900 tons in the 1928-29 season,
an increase of 6S.2 per cent. The
output this season, 1929-S0, is esti-
mated at 26,637 900 tons, a figure
only slightly below last seasons
record output. The total supply this
season, however, is recQrd-break-
ing, because of heavy carry-oVer
from the 1928-29 record crop.
The difficulty which the sugar
market is now experiencing had its
origin in the world war. Before the
war, the world was divided into
three distinct sugar producing and
consuming regions, America, Eu-
rome and Asia. The United States
absorbed the surplus produced by
Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the
Philippines. Europe's consumption
and production balanced. Java's sur
plus was taken by India, Chlia,
Australia and Japan.
During the war, the European out
put was greatly ,curtailed, declining
from 7,777,OO0 long tons to 2,55l,OOO
long tons. England was entirely cut
off from her chief sources of supply;
Germany and Austria Hungary. Eng
land consequently had to turn to
Cuba and Java. This demand stimu-
lated sharp expansion in Cuban
and Javan production.
During the past decade, the Eu-
ropean sugar industry has shown,
steady recovery, and is now prOduc-.
ing more sugar than before the war.
Europe is consequently able to take
care of her own consumption re-
quirements. Java now has to de-
pend almost entirely upon the ORR
ent to absorb her increased produc-
ton while the Cuban market is con-
fined chiefly to the United States.
Moreover, Cuba has to compete with
increased supplies entering the Uni
ted States from Porto Rico, Hawaii
and the Philippines.
There is little prospect of any
substantial recovery in the prices in
the near future unless crop failures
during the coming season reduce
the supply, according to the Insti-
tute. Eventually, however, some i'm
proVement should occur because low
prices will tend to halt the expan-
sion of output and to stimulate the
rate of consumption. 1t is probable
that this improvement would come
sooner if the scheduled tariff in
crease was not adopted. The higher
rate will tend. to stimulate increased
production not only in the United
States but also. in Hawaii, Porto
Rico and the Philippines since i'm
ports from the possessions of the
United States are duty-free.

With our clothing made cooler by
this principle, why shouldn't our
homes be too?
Rooms that are unduly warm
because of an abundance of sum
light or absence of through ven

sidered when the spring painting
is done. Walls tinted shell pink or

painted ivory would go far in CIV

Then there is the labor-saving
element that enters into the house
