easy to say that practically all Of oul

II we wear cotton hose, we will be

and it certainly is an easy way fol-
any one to aid in a seemingly hu.
manitarian effort looking toward
peace. provided that is all there is
to it.
But will that effort really produce
the results that each cotton-stockine
wearer hopes for, or are there a mum
ber OF contributing factors to be reck-
oned with. such as hundreds Of Amer
ican hosiery workers without employ
ment. idle machinery scraped and
sold as junk TO make cannon fodder
in the East?
Let us look at few facts on both
sides Of the fence before making a
hasty decision
IN THE first place, American silk
stockings are made in America by
American workers, under American
capital. The industry gives employ.
ment to $4,000 American workers plu.
10000 more American workers en-.
gagged IN throwing silks that is. pre-.
pairing the raw silk for use).
The actual value of the Japanese
raw silk used in a pair OF silk stock
lngs retailing at 81 Is 10 cents. and
in better priced stockings it is proper
tlonately less since the differentisl
IN quality costs on raw silk is com.
paratively slight Next. so per cen,
OF the wholesale cost on stockings
is paid to the American workers who
produce them. Furthermore, there is
a capital investment of s150,000 900 In
the business of producing American
silk stockings. These facts. from sta
tistics furnished by Toby, Inc, N. Y.
speak for themselves.
1t may be argued that the silk hose
factories can be used for making cot
ton and Isle hose. But in most in
stances, it is said, the machinery is
Of too fine gauge to carry other
textures of thread Closing down
these mills would throw thousands
Of Americans out Of work, adding to
an already large army Of unemployed.
OF course, the tenacles Of the silk
industry are far-reaching Although
the manufacture Of silk hosiery for
both men and women involves the
largest amount of raw silk used in
this country. there is also TO be con-
sidered all the silk undies that we
love so we'll and the pure silk and
silk-mixture fabrics that are so much

.YourMake.up
Should Be
Natural
The Artificial Look
Very Definitely
Out.of.Date.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

NO LESS an authority than Cecil
B. De Mile says Most men
prefer blonds, unless clever brunette
gets to them first. But artificial
blonds who wear slacks and paint
their fngernails a gruesome red are
nuisance in Hollywood and every
where else
Asked to describe his idea Of the
typical American girl, Mr.. De Mile
said: Blond. blue eyes, natural color
in cheeks. fairly full lips, straight
and fairly short nose. active, fun
loving and intelligent, 5 feet inches
tall. 34-inch bust, 24-inch waist, "a
inch hips, weight. ITO pounds.
As for the made-up blonds. Mr..
De Mile says. Casting directors look
right ever their heads for some one
with complete naturalness and most
men like to see pretty women, pretty
much as heaven intended them"
I address this particularly to debs
and sub debs. because I think the
young ones make the gravest mis-
takes in makeup. In their eager
ness to keep their hair a golden
color, they use harsh bleaches in
stead Of harmless rinses or brighten
ing oil treatments. Instead Of merely
enhancing their natural color, they
exaggerate IT, This applies to cheek
and lip rcuge, powder and especially
eye makeup. Black mascara or brow
pencil will give the blond a hard
look. whereas brown will give Just
the right accented note. The blond
more than any other type, should
avoid a "made-up" look. Blonds at
their best are those who look natural,
or at least very nearly 50.

LITTLEPACE FLIES HERE
 FROM MINE


 Jack Littlepage, mining engineer, flew to Juneau yesterday with Shell Simmons from Lisianski and the Apex II Nido mine there which Lit tlepage is developing.
 Littlepage said today he has a crew of six men working on the ground, retimbering, driving tun- mel and doing general repair work to "get the mine into shape for de- velopment work"
 The Apex Fl Nido was discovered in 1924 and has been worked spas medically since. Rich ore has been found in spotty bodies, but it is understood the difficulty in mining has lain in the fact that 10 consid- erable constant deposit of ore has been found.
 Littlepage expects to return to- morrow.
