Strains Arch of
Left Foot During
Michigan Relays
Twelve Other Normal
Trackmen Expected to
Compete For Honors

Charles Whitley" Had, Michigan
Normal hurdles star, may not be
able to compete in the Central Col
legiate Conference indoor cham
pionships at South Bend, Ind, Sat
urday.
Had strained the arch Of his left
foot in the Michigan State Relays
last Friday. and as a result he has
not been able to engage in a stiff
workout so TAR this week. He logged
around the Briggs Field House
track a few times Wednesday after
having tight bandage wrapped
around the injured foot.
Although Had insists that he
will be in condition for the C.C.C.
meet, Coach Lloyd w. Odds is still
doubtful about his entry. The tall
junior would be a sure winner in
both hurdles events under ordinary
circumstances.
Twelve other Michigan Normal
trackmen will compete in the carni-
val. Since the Hurons have little
chance of capturing the team cham
pionship, they will attempt to an
mex as many individual titles as
possible.
Capt. Tommy Quinn will run in
both the half-mile and the mile, in
which he is the favorite. Quinn's
chief competition in the latter
event will come from Max Lenover
OF Loyola, who established a con-
ference record of four minutes
15.S seconds in winning last year
Though Lenover defeated Quinn
In a dual meet earlier this season,
he Is not favored TO repeat. IN that
race the Huron pilot made tao
tical mistake in pacing himself,
and Lenoyer took advantage OF the
error to outsprint Quinn on the
last lap,
Eugene Lucarelli will be the
busiest Huron in the C.C.C. cham
pionships, having entered the pole
vault, high jump and broad jump.
Harold Stein, who tied for first
last year. and Ted Webb will also
compete in the pole vault.
At least three Normal tracksters
will seek laurels In the two-mile
run. They are Duane Temper. Bob
Lee and Frank Durham. Warren
Johnson may also race in the same
event.
Other Huron entries are Joe
Brzezinski, mile and half'mile; Ron
aid Clark and George Cole, quarter
mile Don Sommerfield, hurdles,
apd Eddie Rosenzweig, shot put.

Mexico City Girls

Four thousand spectators watch

 What American lace makers can learn from the French in delicacy they can teach the French in styling. Specific quail ties of some kinds of piece goods are no longer being imported, like English 72 : inch net. But, al- though domestic net manufactur- CTS are now so rushed with army contracts they have no time to l duplicate this, brideS-to-be need have no fear of reaching the altar demurely yelled in the Army's best mosquito netting.
 Linens perhaps represent Mrs. Jones' greatest problem. Domes- tic flax, like Oregon's, is suitable primarily for cordage and flax straw and America is dependent entirely on imports for pure Hn- ems. Today though only Irish linens are still crossing at the At lantic (and these in small quan- l tities), Mrs. Jones linen problem both for dress and for precious table damaskS-is primarily one Of price.
 Many domestic companies are finding profitable substitutes for some linen products, such as hand kerchiefs, by imprvoing cotton prints and finishes. One New Jer- sey firm that used to wrok but three months year now runs full time.
 Hand and foot, Mrs. Jones has no worries. Imports of French gloves and shoes and the cheap Czech shoes have been stopped. But (except for kidskins, where Americans still have considerable to learn) domestic glove and shoe makers take back seats to no one. Most feathers are available 1n quantity. Increased business both in New York States glove cen- ters and New EnglandS shoe fac- tories reflect the satisfactory do- meStic replacement of the im- ports.

Domestic industry is meeting successfully what might have led to a serious shortage in the Jones china closet, for there were few domestic potteries of note. Since the war two or three new firms have entered the china pie utre, including one French and one German company which brought their Inolds to the U. s. just before hostilities. While fine French, German and Czech chinas are no longer being imported, choice British brands are still crossing the Atlantic freely.

Mrs. Jones OfU.S.A.
 Can Dress AndLiVe As Smartly As Ever
BY TOM WOLF NEA Service Staff COrreSpOndent

l NEA SCIVlCC ONaA NUAACoPVAOChS
 New York Feb. 18-Mrs. Ameri- can Jones, sitting in her well-ap- pointed living room, is the picture of world trade. From her Irish linen dress to the oriental rug on the floor even to the canary softly trilling in the background-she is surround ed by imported merchandise. What will she do now that the war has cut America off from the exports of nearly half the world?
 She's lucky that the import l which may be among the hardest 1 to replace is only her canary. Ex- perts say that the> canaries now being bred in the American mid west and south are as singing walters compared to the operatic prima donnas of Germany's Hartz Mountains.
 Mrs. Jones' wardrobe presents comparatively few problems. Faced with the necessity of walking with out the guiding hand of Mother Paris, U. s. designers set out reso- lutely to make New York the worlds fashion capital. They found new founts of inspiration in the here and now of the Western Hemisphere in Mexico, in Peru, on the Argen- tine pampas, in the headlines of their U. s. daily newspapers. And, as New York's recent super style show, Fashion Futures, overwhelm- ingly demonstrated, domestic de- signers can and are meeting the highest traditions of Paris haute couture.

working hard on crystal and are turning out a domestic glass that is thinner and more floureScent every month - so acceptable a substitute for imported crystal that domestic sales went up over 500 per cent since the war began.
 All in all, Mrs. Jones is pretty well set. Her husband, particu- larly in his business, is less for tunate. Imports of professional and scientific instruments took the largest percentage drop of any import during the wars first year. Added to this, the crush of de- fense orders practically eliminates MT. Jones' chances of getting special instruments he once im- ported-mostly from Germany.
 ERSATZ FOR DRUGS
 AND MINERALS
 Except for patent difficulties, American optical and instru- ment companies could in the past have made almost any of the spe-

cial machine instruments that were imported. But MT. Jones and his business and professional colleagues kept going back to Zeiss and Leitz because they knew these German products. So there was not sufficient demand for some types of domestic instru- ments to make their manufacture worth while.
 Now that the imports are no longer available, domestic firms are too busy with defense orders to establish new lines for the MT. Joneses. The result is large shortages in some lines, down to drawing instruments and stop watches. d
 | In the mineral and drug field, MT. Jones must look to erSatz to answer most of his problems. In a few cases the elimination of foreign competition has prvodied the impetus necessary for the de- velopment of domestic supplies. The U. s. mercury market, once entirely supplied by Spain and the Mediterranean, is now 100 per cent domestically supplied. Min CTS in the American southwest have developed process of ob- taining a sulphate of potash - freeing MT. Jones from depend- ence on Germany. California ephedra is supplanting the drug once imported from China.
 JUNIOR JONES
 IS THE LUCKIEST
 Outside of his bushes, MT. Jones has few worries. Even his tobacco is safe. Although the Greco-Italian war interrupted regular shipments of Turkish tobacco, supplies are on hte way, rerouted around South Africa.
 But Junior Jones is the best off of the entire family. The few toys the U. s. did not make for him before the war are now squeaking out of American fac- tories. Even his Christmas tree, heretofore decorated with Ger man glass baubles, last Christmas sparkled with American trim mings.
 Better still, Junior may have to forego his spinach for a while. The seed that gives him his grit was largely imported from Dem mark - now cut off by war. It may take time before American farmers can develop a domestic supply-to add even this to the long and growing list of products now being labeled: "Made i'm Amer ica."
