With Imports Cut Off From memories of the last European war, we might reasonably have expected this fall a suxlden dearth of all those beautiful things we had imported from abroad,. the ~brdcades and damasks that came from France and Italy, the exquisite organdies and voiles and emâ€" broideries from Switzerland, the china and glass from France, Sweden, Italy, Czechoâ€"Slovakia, the laces and linens from Belgiumâ€"the complete list would be a long one.. For certainly imports from these countries could hardly have been cut off more entirely and suddenâ€" ly. The tragedy of this disruption of trade and industry for these stricken countries goes hand in hand with the destruction of their homes, their lives. For America, the meaning of this shift of sourzes has been quite different from anything we mignt have anticiâ€" pated. True, we get very little from Europe. Bu; we are not in the same position ast. we were at the outbreak of the last war.

It actually dates from the first world war when most of the fines decoratice furnishings sold in America were made in Europe and we had neiâ€" ther facilities or craftsmen to produce them here,. But the ingenuity of American manufacturers was firs;; chalâ€" lenged then, and from this impetus, their efforts got a start that has proâ€" gressed steadily during the past twenâ€" most of the imports with surprisingly little shifting of gears, despite the fact that many of them we thought could not be made in this country or else could not be made at competitive prices. We were wrong on both counts, as the abundance of merchandise in the stores this fall attests. Having learned in emergency to make these things, the chances are that much of this business will stay in this country, even after the watr.

In addilion to this type of fine glass, America also is producing a finely delicate ruality of handâ€" biown slass as well as intcresting molded ‘and cut in every way comparable to the importâ€" ed fabricâ€"even in price. Similar exâ€" perience we encounter constantly in our reunds. In woven goods such as brocatelles, intricate damasks, brocades, velvets, tapestries, America came of age first but now our printed materials are fast being brought up in quality to the point where they too are comparable to all but a few of the most detailed of Europearn processes. ticular, fabric, always supplied in the past by a French mill, was in great deâ€" mand in America, and this American wholesale firm was at wit‘s end to find another mill that could make it. They offered a contract for the fabric to five different American mills, all of whom rejected the order because they did not feel capable of executing it. The sixth mill, to whom the contract was! Ooffered, accepted it and the reâ€" That Margin The development of Americanâ€"made: fabrics in the last quarter century is in: itself a fascinating story.. Spurred byl the first world war, our mills had reachâ€" ed the point at the outbreak of the second world war where we could, as mentioned above, supply a high perâ€" centage of our demand. But there was still that margin of, fine fabrics made . abroad which. it was felt, could not be replaced by domestic mills. Yet they. sult of their efforts had just been reâ€" ceived: hence the excitement in the ofâ€" fice, for it was beyond expectations and tyâ€"five years. Just one instance will point out the difference in our positionl then and now. In 1914, the average jobber of decorative fabrics had a stock â€" that was roughly eightyâ€"five per cent | imported while in 1929 a typical jobber’ of decorative fabrics carried. a stock that was eightyâ€"five per cent domestic!

Dr. McHenry therefore 'proposes that the value of white flour be raised by adding wheat germ or }yeast of high vitamin content. This ‘can be done without affecting the colâ€" .lor of the resultant, loaf, he declares. That most of the bread consumed in Canadian cities is capable of consid« crable improvement in the interest of warâ€"time health and efficiency, is inâ€" dicated by aw article appearing in the current issue of the Canadian Public Health Journal over the signature of E. W. McHenry, Ph. D., of the Univerâ€" sity of Toronto. We have not here exhausted the subject of American achievements by any means. We have merely over the surface. But we hope we have explained one point in the present prosperity upswingâ€"that business is better today, not merely because Of wheels of rearmament are turning, but because many American factories are working twentyâ€"four hour shifts to fill orders for peaceful merchandise that formerly came from Europe. This is not true only in home furnishings but likewise in fashions and other fields. True it is that, in view of world condiâ€" tions, we dare not get smug over our little interlude of activity, but regarded selfishly, at least, we may find satisâ€" faction in the fact that our factories are acquiring r~any new talents which may stand us in good stead in rebuildâ€" ing our world after we‘ve gone through whatever cataclysm we now face. (Released by Consolidated News Feaâ€" ture», TInc.) j Toronto Doctor Urges More Use of Wholeâ€" W heat . Bread manufacturers has pr¢hably been even more spectacular. Though America has a long tradition of glassâ€"making and some of our present glass factories have been in successful commercial operaâ€" tion for a century or more, many of them producing fine skilled work, espeâ€" cially through the cutâ€"glass era, much of the most precious glassware used in America has come from Italy, from France, from Sweden, from Czechoâ€" Slovakia, and from other European countries. With these sources cut off, a heavy demand for fine glass was placed suddenly upon American factories. They have been able to meet these deâ€" mands because of this long record of experiment and experience with glass as a medium of decorative expression. They offer, in the stores this fall, so versatile a collection of fine glass that the average, or even the very discerning customer, will not miss the imports. Hand blown glass, copper engraved glass;, cut glass, along with more comâ€" mercial types of glass, all are there, and at prices essentially the same as, or lower than their imported counterâ€" parts. Likewise gradual has been the evoluâ€" tion of American china so that to speed up production this year to make up for what ncrmally we should have gotten from abroad stimulated but did not stagger our potters. For many years the Lenox potters at Trenton, New Jersey, have been making china which compared with the best made anywhere else in the world. And for several years now, the Haviland company of France has been making china in America. Whiie the potters at Syracuse, New York, long known as makers of hotel earthenware, have after g:umplehenswe experimentation and research branchâ€" ed out to include the production of a high grade of translucent china. The Ohio potteries, geared admirably to produce earthenware for popular conâ€" sumption, are likewise able to expand to include other grades for which we formerly looked to Europe. And any story of pottery must not overlook the Californians who have lead in creatâ€" ing a modern American provincial ware that is taking over the place long occupied by European peasant pottery. Dr. McHenry repsats that the intake of Vitamin B1 would increase if people ate whole wheat bread, but since they decline to do so other methods must be found, and experiments have shown that bread containing five per cent wheat germ has noticeable effect on growth and nutrition.

All leaves and other trash should bei raked from the lawn during the fall.; The practice of providing winter covâ€"| ers of manure, straw, leaves or similaz" materials is not recommended, since| they are not necessary and frequently} do more harm than good. In addition | to being unsightly, such covers tend tnf smother the grass, favour disease, and harbor insects. Manure and smawl nay contain numerous weed seeds.. Leaves are particularly harmful since! a mat of wet leaves will smother the! grass very quickly. If manure is on the lawn as a topdressing it shouldi be finely pulverized and worked down | into the turf so hat no lumps lie on | the surface. Any manure used should | be thoroughly decomposed and fxec: from weed seeds. j Several of the late fall opcxatxons| are designed to combat the discase | known as snow mould. The fungus causing this disease thrives under moist, cool conditions. Although it | may occur in the fall, winter or spring, ! it is usually most prevalent in the early | spring when the snow is melting. In; the first stages of the discase areas of ; the turf become covered with a white | cottony growth. Later these areas beâ€" come gray in colour and finally the affected grass becomes light brown. Ini I serious cases the diseased turf is kilâ€" ed. On lawns where the disease is | known to be prevalent it is a good| policy to treat for snowmould in the late fall. An application of a mixture consisting of 2â€"3 calomel and 1â€"3 bichâ€" ioride of mercury at the rate of thlee; to four ounces per 1,000 square feetn produces satisfactory results.

"What seems to be vexatious, pettiâ€" fogging and cumbersome regulations governing the buying, selling, loan or barter of rifles and shotguns have been issued by the Ontario attorneyâ€"generâ€" al‘s department.

The Northern Tribune, of Kapuskasâ€" ing, last week had the following referâ€" ence to the recent "gun" regulations. This will find an echo in many other parts of the country, as the new reguâ€" lations appear somewhat irksome in some particulars. However, in view of the fact that there is a war on, and the other fact that for years there has been urgent need for some careful reâ€" gulation of guns, the resitrictions will be accepted with the best grace possible. The Northern Tribune says:â€"â€" A great deal of the winterâ€"killing which takes place in lawns may be attributed to poor drainage, cither beâ€" cause of smothering by standing water or ice sheets, or because of failure of the lawn to drain rapidly in the spring, thus encouraging disease. Consequentâ€" ly, every effort should be made to enâ€" sure proper drainage. In some cases where the subsoil is vory compact, tile drains are necessary in order to proâ€" vide adequate unedrâ€"drainkge. It is important that there are no low areas in the lawn surface. Shallow depresâ€" sions may be levelled by topdressing with good topsoil. In the case of deepâ€" er hollows it may be necessary to lift the turf, build up the level of the soil to the desired height with good topsoil and then replace the sod. Kapuskasing Not Pleased With "Gun" Regulations (Experimental Farm News) It is a common practics to neglect the lawn after the final mowing in the fall There are, however, a number of operations which may be carried out to good advantage. Although the grass may be permitted to go into the winter slightly longer than the normal height, a long, matted growth is deâ€" finitely undesirable. It is recommendâ€" ed that the turf be cut as long as it is making active growth, says J. H. Boyce Division of Forage Plants, Central Exâ€" perimental Farm, Otlawa. The removal of woods from the lawn is just as important during the fall as it is during the growing season. If the lawn is thoroughly weeded just before freezeâ€"up and proper fertilization and other suitable cultural practices are started sufficiently early the following spring, future lown weed problems will be considerably reduced.
