WE SHALL coin a word you will
w see great deal in the future.
1t is 'instedder.' You use it this
way, "instedder" silk we use rayon.
"Instedder" flaps on your pockets,
you get them piped.
Today we saw very satisfactory
"instedder," that was out long be-
fore the emergency came. 1t is a
very finely woven corduroy which
will replace wool. We have worn a
suit of this fabric. which weighs
only 5 Y ounces to the yard, for the
past two summers. Unless given
clothes free by Uncle Sam this sum-
mer, we intend TO wear the same
suit again.
It now appears that corduroy will
come into wide use. The special
fabric we saw was of two new types.
Pinroy, an extremely fine rib that
comes 81 ribs to the inch, weighs
5l4 ounces yard. Favoroy is heavi-
err. weighs Z ounces to a yard and
has l6 ribs TO the inch. This cloth
does not come in the usual width
for men, which is Sd inches, but in
35-36-inch width. The light weight
is excellent for summer wear, the
heavier weight will probably come
into winter use after a while.
Corduroy is a most unusual fab
ric, because it is worn by the family
from babyhood up-infantS' creep
ers and then right up the line. Men
have long used 1t for rough work
clothes. Boys suits are made from
it. because it withstandS wear
Lately. i'm shades of deep red. blue

The new lightweight corduroy is
ideal for summer wear. Being made
OF cotton, and having more warmth
than any cotton material, 1t can
replace wool. There are no priorl-
ties on it. You can have cuffs on
your pants, pleatS, flaps on your

Flaherty Depicts
Waste of Soil
In Movies
BY TALBOT LAKE

THE greatest Of the document
tary film directors, in fact, the
inventor Of this fine form OF tell
ing a vital story. Is Robert j.
Flaherty. who has come back TO
his native land in the filming OF
The Land" a story Of the tragic
waste of the land in the United
States. Very fittingly, he made II
for the Department Of Agriculture,
and 1t is truly great and epic
film.
The first picture Of the docu-
mentary type was Flaherty's Ma
nook Of the North" which he
made back in 1922. Since then he
made "Moana." Man of Aran,"
"Tabu" and Elephant Boy" 1t
takes him from two TO three years
TO make picture and he rests be-
tween making tiAii Tor G9opfe
of years.
This gifted director is as re-
markable a personality as his pic
lures. He is a ruddy faced Irish
type, Of medium height and ample
breadth, with a shock Of snow
white hair. He is genial, friendly
and a grand teller of tales, and
one can understand why his pic
lures always deal with the little
people who make up this world,
for he is the sort Of man who feels
for them.
The astonishing thing about
Flaherty's work is his unusual use
of the pictorial to tell the story.
He was the first man to get away
from the pretty travel picture with
its, And SO, as the sun sets over
Dingo-DongO, we sail away on the
pale blue seas, never to darken her
shores again"
Some Of the shots in The Land"
are very beautiful, but they tell
vital story. One unforgettable
scene shows an eroded stretch Of
soil: the camera travels along the
horrid, SCARED earth till it comes
up to the meager Scrawny grass
growing at its edge and suddenly
discloses the weathering wreck Of
a fine old Southern mansion,
abandoned by its owners who
wasted the land.
Flaherty has had the help of his
wife and his brother David in all
his pictures. He travels extensively
TO make them and learns to know
the people and the locale. In this
case. he went thousands Of miles
on back roads and stopped at
country stores.
Director Flaherty has this TO
say about the problem which his
film presents:
With our marvellous, miraculous
machines We are actually one step
from paradise. They bring un-
dreamed Of abundance within our
reach. With modern machines 1t
would be possible TO clear and de-
velop a whole new country out OF
tangled jungle or waste land in an
incredibly short time: or to pro-
duce enough food in one country
to feed all the rest Of the world.
Machines are like prehistoric
monsters. terrifying in their pos
sibilities. But they are also mir
acles OF efficiency in producing
the food and goods that sustain
the human race. Our problem is
to master the machines that mans
genius has created, and it's Just
a lot OF talk unless we do it,"
