And that’s what the free A suit that shows the fashionable trade has demonstrated itself to be. riding habit flare and smartly tailor­ ed lines is the one pictured here. “It would be vain to believe that we can hope to escape the competi­ tion sure to result when the beliger- ents return to the peaceful trade pur­ suits.” says Bradstreet. A protective tariff wall is the only effective form of defense American industries can depend upon when war ceases. If wc did not have indisputable proofs of the benefits of a protective tariff and the disaster of free trade under every political administration that has tampered with it, wc might afford to give free trade another ex­ pensive trial. But why experiment with a known result? “The future of this country’s trade and industry depends largely upon the questions of when and how peace will return to the world,” says Brad­ street’s annual report on American business, and the prospects of Amer­ ican markets overstocked with cheap foreign-made goods are by no means alluring. The health bulletin issued by the North Carolina State government carries an editorial under the dyna­ mic caption, “Ain’t It Ilell to be Poor?” But as long as our Tar Heel friends cast their ballots for free trade congressmen they will be com­ pelled to submit to their self-imposed synonym of Sherman’s idea of war. The designers have made this new style suitable for street wear by mak­ ing it in fine gabardine, poplin and serges, in blue, black and green. Another borrowed spring fashion is an adaptation from the Russian ballet costume. This new style is seen principally in dresses and gowns It shows a tight fitting bodice with a long waisted effect and very sharp­ ly flaring flounces. This style is also seen in costume suits of novelty silk, or silk in com­ bination with tine French serges. However, this style was not origi­ nated by the Russian ballet artist. It really dates back to 1830 as it was worn at that time by the society bells of Washington and the South. Surely these pretty new fashions are entirely feminine. They are as re- mot from the mannish styles of a few seasons ago as one could imagine. So far American dye makers have been unable to overcome this con­ dition and they are not likely to be in a position to supply fast color dyes for several years. Only in the quick ending of the European war can we hope release from the presenj high cost of materials for wearing apparel. Merchants Urging Action The Store that sells Wooltex shows several new mid-season models that conform to the styles as described above. Mr. Haltom, tells us that the stocks are now complete, but that with the present scarcity of materials the replenishing of stocks is very un­ certain. All the local merchants are urging w omen to buy their spring apparel now before stocks are depleted. 1 hose who buy later are certain to have difficulty in finding as complete variety and prices are likely to be higher. High Crowned Spring Hats. The most fashionable new spring style in hats has the appearance of a dome. It may be made entirely of straw or the crown covered entirely with folage and flowers. Upright rib­ bon wings are frequently used for trimming. High colors are very popu­ lar. 1 his new hat, c lied the steeple hat, is said to have been originated by Reboux of Paris. A novelty in spring hat is one made almost entirely of hair; crown and brim arc transparent, with binding of silk or satin. Dyes Affect Shirtwaist Colors. J he scarcity of fast color dyes has had a marked influence on spring styles in shirtwaists. Fewer blues, purples and pinks will be seen this year than ever before. A bile these colors are used in strip­ es and figures, they are used very spa ringly. Pearl grey, dove grey, peace grey and white have been made the favor­ ites of fashion because of the diffi­ culty in securing dyes for colors. A very pretty waist novelty is the pew jabot waist in which a colored jabot forms the reverse of the waist, the jabot matching the sailor collar. This is really a feminine shirt style. It is popular with misses and young women. Shirtwaists are certain to be higher •n price because of the scarcity of the most popular fabric, Georgette crepe. Button Shoes Very Popular Shoes are higher in price, higher in shape and button models are very Popular styles for spring. Manufacturers are having a great deal of difficulty in securing French kid and when present accumulated stocks of raw leather are exhausted, prices are bound to be still higher. Not only in shoes but in every other article of wearing apparel are prices advancing. This is due to the scarcity of materials, many of which are im­ ported from Europe, and the scarcitv of dye stuffs. Higher Cost of All Materials. 1 ntil the war in Europe, it cost only five to seven cents per yard to dve woolen goods. Now it costs from V to 40c. per yard. For heretofore the cost of dying had jrery little to do It is well to be prepared, but there is much more danger of a commercial invasion than a military. There is not half the danger of a military invasion as before the European war, but when it ends there is double the danger of a commercial invasion, un­ less we prepare by protecting our in­ dustries by adequate tariff laws. soldiers return to industrial of peace. 6, 1916. pursuits "Must protect home commerce” i the headline of a well written editor­ ial in the Evening Gazette. In the closing paragraph the writer says: "To admit foreign goods on a com­ petitive basis would be to reduce the United Stales to the level of coun­ tries suffering from the results of war and no more colossal commercial blunder could be committed.” True, every word. Always true and always will be. Protection against permitting “competitive goods” made by the pauper wage earners in other lands. 1 hat is sound Republican protective tariff doctrine. We are glad written in the Gazette’s record. Try it yourself if you want personal and positive infor­ mation as to how delightful Prince Albert really is, smoked in a jimmy pipe or rolled into the best makin’s cigarette you ever set-fire-to 1 For, Prince Albert has a wonderful message of pipe-peace and makin’s peace for every man. It will revolutionize your smoke ideas and ideals. The patented process fixes that—and cuts out bite and parch! We have no more faith in a tariff commission, such as that proposed by President Wilson, than we have in a board of censors for moving pictures. It could not be any more non-parti­ san than Congress itself. The tariff must be settled on a basis of trial and error, and the process will not be complete until the common con­ sciousness of the nation has realized what the tariff means to its industrial life. The Underwood bill has done more to settle the question in Amer­ ica than all the discussions that have raged since the days of Calhoun. Let Congress and the popular vote de rile the general issue; the details may be worked out year by year. ------ o------ A sub-committec of the London Board of Trade has just submitted a report favoring a protective tariff as a means of building up British indus­ tries. President Wilson says that al­ though he has changed his mind and now favors a tariff commission, yet he has not yielded his opposition to the principle of a protective tariff. Won’t somebody please call his at­ tention to the London report? Per­ haps he’ll change his mind some more But it does not make much difference whether he does or not. After March 4, 1917, we will have a man in W hite House who doesn’t have change his mind on everything order to be right on something. There is no surprise over the nounccnient of the Department Commerce that our trade in cotton goods with China has dropped one- third while Japan has increased her cotton trade in that country nearly nine times. Japan's cheaper labor, combined with her ability to imitate American methods, explains that. No one grumbles because of this. It is fair and expected competitio'h, but American manufacturers have cause to fear that Japan’s htfge expansion of her cotton cloth industry will ulti­ mately cut into our domestic market. Of course, the Japanese cannot do this if the tariff gives our manufac­ turers the protection they should have. Of the tremendously increase num­ ber of business failures that re-echo­ ed the loud proclamation of free trade "prosperity” in 1915, a greater per­ centage struck the "Solid South” than any other part of this country. With the aggregate percentage soar­ ing to 109, 28.7 per cent, fell to the lot of the free trade section south of Woodrow told the St.Louis folks Mason and Dixon line.
