' "We have three factories covering | 1.000 acres of ground, a chain of sac tories erected since the beginning of the . war that equaled those developed by '~ Germany through a longer period in years. We have also 100 university-train- | ed chemists_at work on research, and - twice that number engaged in the super- | vision of practical production. Dr. Ar- i thur Lynco on the other hand complains ! that everycne, from the universities to | the bankers, is neglecting cyes, but both , say the protection of home markets | against German competition will effec- . tively stimulate the findustry to the point . where it soon will be able to meet all | comers in the open market. [he plan for . the protection ot the industry includes ' that no dyes shaii be imported without ' the consent of the Commission, j -“EPIGRAMS AND WITTY SAYINGS.”’ ; Beauty 1s said to be only skin deep. ' 1f this 18 so then why 1n the name of all ~ that 1s beautiful don’t some oi us try - hot water instead of spending hard earn- . ed money on cosmetics. ‘ The good old days have long since passed by when men could sit still and - walt for roney to overtake them. Now- . a-days you’ve got to chase the dollar ' darm hard, and even when you do eateh up wth it you find that the price of ! things has gone up. And so you sart ~ the race all over again. f Money lis a worid of power. But wo- - men is the power that makes it go round. j The fundamental basis of good econo- my is no ionger th2 practice of making “both ends meet’”’. The modern day | principle 18 to try to meet the previous . months’ bilis. And even_ this doesn’t t always work. i fvery man puis himseif “‘out of the | way’' to make money. But some ‘g i under’’ sooner than others. ‘l' = ‘ Unmarried women of thirty-five are . referred to as "‘being up cn the shelt”’. . But if you try to take one of them down . you’ll joliyweil ad out that even a feath- . er bed wor't break your fall, i Some assert that there is always a good reason behivd everything.
