nylon holds a much higher place in the ma
tons stocking output Last year some 43
million pairs of hose were sold in the United
States and 90 per cent of this vast total were
all silk, or silk leg with rayon or cotton tops.
Nylon sold 2,75O,OOO pairs which constitute
a little over 6 per cent of the total. Doing

women in 1910 Just about per cent.
But by the same token these figures show
that 9s per cent of all the stockings in the
nation are in danger of being cut off by the
present shortage.
Cotton is leaping into this picture strongly,
and hosiery mills that cannot get silk or nylon
fibres are turning to cotton yarns Hosiery
experts say the machines can be easily con-
verted to the making of cotton stockings.
While cotton stockings may be the hope Of

that look worth much. Because cotton sells

America has plenty of raw cotton-millions
of bales of it in storage-but America does
not have the yarn-spinning machines needed
to convert this cotton into fine Isle yarns
One way to try to solve this dilemma is
to build more cotton-spinning machines to
handle the fine fibre production but that route
to success gets all tangled up with the machine
tool trade and priorities, for spinning ma
chine is a most intricate machine.
The newest advance in cotton stocking pro-
duction is to try to put more elasticity into the
fibres by chemical treatment. The big trouble
with the cotton stockings of the past is that
when they stretched they stayed stretched

Feminine Beauty
Styles Feature
New Simplicity

CHICAGO, Sept. 0 tUP) = Fem
mime beauty styles, sensitive to the
defense emergency, are shifting to-
word simplicity because women
want to appear" calm and elegant,
not cute and sophisticated.
The trend IN oeanty techniques
was described to the American Co.'S
meticians association by Frank
Baird, Hollywood beauty authority
and hair stylist, who said the beau
tiful women of 1912 will be natural
and plain"
They will be distinguished by
smartly tailored clothes, plain ma
tural-line eyebrows, a short hair
bob and a feather edge neckline,
and a soft" makeup and mani
cure appearing more suitable for
work, he said.
AS Hollywood pacesetters in the
beauty trend, Baird listed Greta
Garbo for her short bob, Mary
Astor for hair style and eyebrows,
Mary Pickford for makeup and
Janet Gaynor for dress.

News Items About

Over 1000 miles were covered by
Mrs. Allen p. Nuffer and her
daughter, Kay, in their motor trip
this summer, Tor as Mrs. Nuffer
herself says, we didn't let the
grass grow under cur ieet for a
second and when their itinerary
is followed, it is easy to see that
they missed nothing on their tour
of the country. From California the
two went to Boulder Dam, then to
Bryce, Zion, the Grand Canyon
and Yellowstone National park, the
Rushmore memorial, Chicago, De-
troit, Dearborn, going from the lat
ter city north to Canada, visiting
Quebec and other Canadian places
of interest, returning by way of
New England. A stay in the Maine
woods, a tour through New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, and New York state
were followed by several days spent
in Boston, and New York City. In
Philadelphia the two visited Mrs.
Nuffer's nephew and had the thrill
of inspecting the new U.SS. Wash
ington. In Washington, D. c., they
were shown the sights by Mrs. Reed
Thomas, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Phil D. Swing, whose house guests
they were in her home near the
capital.
The southern route was followed
home, with visits in New Orleans
and at the famous Carlsbad Ca
verns, the two arriving last week in
the valley. Vacation is about over
for Kay for later in the month she
leaves for Beverly Hills to enter
secretarial school where she will
find Barbara Horton who is already
