I was not a participant, only a visit ing observer. In years past I have sat in, as an observer, on other business conferences representing several lines of endeavor. At this recent conference some SO well trained and qualified execu tives discussed the problems chang ing conditions had forced upon the industry they represented. Their discussions centered entirely on how that industry could continue to sat isfactorily serve the customers; how to provide the service to which the customer was accustomed with out an increase in prices to meet increasing costs. It was enlightening to realize the thought that is given by business to the customer's, the public's interest. That jIUaM-al*? SU ? - WWVHilMVlJ UIU UUV bU V CI the ways and means of making greater profits (or the industry. It considered only ways and means of adequately serving the customer without, if possible, raising prices, and at the same time providing needed funds with which to recom pense those who had supplied the plants and tools necessary 1 to operation of the industry. Its purpose was to find possible economies that could be effected without any depreciation in quality of product. If a price had to be raised, if the indus try was to keep going, it was not the maximum the customer would pay that was considered, but the minimum that would cover the increasing costs that could not be met by economies. During three days, and long eve nings, I watched and listened to 1 American business technocracy at i work. That session provided but a sample of what has made America the production wonder of the world. It was a sample of what has made possible a far higher wage stand ard than is enjoyed in any other nation; a better quality of product at a lower cost in practically all cases than can be found in other nations. How much further that busi ness technocracy can carry us is a question. Labor and the cus tomer, thfe public, have been the beneficiaries. As I listened to the discussions of that confer ence I could see no possibility ?f new economies, or of im proved methods to offset new demands for higher wages, or prevent an increase in prices for a product. There must be a limit, and, insofar as that in dustry is concerned, it seemed to me that limit had been reached. I thought it might have been well could there have sat in on that con ference, as I did, a number of tha labor leaders who are demanding higher and ever higher wages for labor. It would have been well for such labor leaders to observe the ef forts business executives make to preserve the jobs of labor and main tain the American standard of liv ing without any decrease in quali ty or increase in price for the cus tomer, the public. To me that session represented ; American free enterprise at its best. It should be preserved. ? ? ? SLOW PACE OF PRODUCTION BLAMED ON MAN HOUR RATE Incentive pay, except as it may be earned by time and a ball over time, is frowned upon by organ ized labor. Leaders of labor propose to keep man hour production keyed to the speed of the slowest worker. They object to any method that would result in odious comparisons. Hu man nature, being what it is, it is much easier to slow down the swift worker than to increase the speed of the slow one. Until a remedy can be found for that condition, Amer ica's industrial production, badly as we need an increase, will remain, on a man hour basis, where it is, or drop to new low levels. A way must be found to compensate the man capable of greater production if the nation, and the world, is to benefit from his ability. Profit shar ing. based on the individual's pro duction might be permitted and do the needed job. ? ? ? STATE SOCIALISM WOULD, in America, as it did in Germany and Italy, and as it does in Russia, mak: government the master of rather than the servant of the citi zen. The regimentation we had dur ing, and some since, the war, was but a taste of what we would get. ? ? ? Twenty-five years' control of fbe manpower and resources of Europe and Asia, in addition to what she now has, would assure Russia dominance of the world. And she would take it if totali tarianism bad not. in the mean time, hanged itself. ? ? ? The home life of the farm is not a producer of a crowded divorce court calendar. ? ? ?

Woman's World Using Cotton Bags for Garments + Reduces Fabric Cost to Trifle ?rlta ~J4a(eif These day, there's a price tag I on everything, so when we do come across something free we real ly stand up and rtisae. What is free, yon ask? Flour bags, for in stance. Those of you who buy flour or feed in large quantities know that the material in the bags is well worth sewing effort, and they can be made into some of the most attractive gar ments you've ever seen. I've seen many attractive prints in such bags that make lovely blouses or table linen. And that doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of their pos sibilities. Don't scorn the white bags either, not with all the attractive colors that are available in dyes. Two or three of the white bags can be dyed at the same time, and there's at least three or three and a quarter yards of material there for an at tractive school dress for the teen aged daughter. Most women recognize" the value of flour, feed, sugar and salt bags, but too often their eyes are closed to their possibilities fbr anything ex cept towels. However, experience proves that we can use bag fabrics for not only those things already mentioned but also skirts, draperies, coveralls, lingerie, pillows, etc. Just ask some bright 4-H girl how many things she can name that can be made from cotton bags, and she'll amaze you. Cotton Bags Make Year-Roimd Dresses You don't have to confine wearing apparel oitt of cotton bags for just the warmer months. After all, cot tons are a year-round fabric. Be fore you begin a dress project, for example, collect enough of the bags so you can cut out an attrac tive pattern. Then rip these apart and dye them carefully to a shape that will fit you perfectly. r^A Collect teveral cotton begs . .. Dry the material and press very carefully. It's no fun trying to cut and sew something that looks worn and wrinkled, so prepare the ma terial to look like freshly cut bolt goods. Some ot the choices which you can sew beautifully from cotton bag fab ric are these: A tailored but cas ual dress with long or three-quar ter length sleeves with contrasting colored stitching as the main trim I ming; a full-skirted dress with touches of dainty eyelet or lingerie trimming in the sleeves and at the edge of the skirt; a tailored dress made of two different colors that blend well together. This may be print and plain material combined, or two solid colors combined. Lay out the pieces of your pat tern on the material before you do any cutting whatsoever. The fabric guide of the pattern will not be of too much help, inasmuch as you are using material which will not lit reg ulation yard lengths. Do not cut until you hrfve fitted everything to gether and then pinned the pattern to the fabric. Pinking shears are ideal for finishing the edges of this cotton material. To make pretty dreueu After the material is cut, sewing is done just as you would on any other dress, no matter what the fab ric.' Just because you are using cot ton bags, however, don't get care less with the sewing. Give it all the care you would if you were mak ing a dress out of ten dollar a yard material, and the results will be well worth the effort. Drum Bonnet A dram bonnet, designed by Sally Victor, is made of smoky white felt with a bawd of gold braid across the front of the crown to accent the mink scarf that forms a snag wrap around the shoulders. Bow to Prepare Cotton Bag Goods Get the whole family to help you in collecting the bags and make sure you have enough of them be fore you start on your pet project. As soon as you get a bag, rip it apart and remove the labels. The different type labels respond to dif ferent methods of removal. On soma bags, they can be removed by soak ing in warm soapsuds overnight Pre liminary scrubbing, soaking and boiling will take out others. Exposure to direct sunlight is a good method of bleaching the bags in many cases. When labels do not respond to the above outlined treatments, soak the bags overnight in kerosene or tur pentine, then wash in soap and water. If any color remains, treat them with a commercial bleach. Always remember which treatment works best with certain kinds of bags and file the information for future reference. If you are unable to remove all trace of the label, finish the Job by dyeing one of the darker colors that will cover up the last traces. Dark brown, navy blue, dark gray, green or black are deep enough for this. Black is the only one which will completely cover a black ink label. If you want to use bag material for lingerie, use the light-weight ma terial and dye in lovely pastel shades such as pale'pink, yellow or blue. Heavier bags may be used for cov eralls, work smocks, skirts and slacks. In-between weights of ma terial are good for draperies and curtains, pillows and table linens. Trimmings of all kinds add a dressed-up, finished appearance to any garment, especially if cotton bag material is used. Select it with as much care as you do the colors of your dress. Ironing Problems The way your dress looks after laundering depends a great deal upon the ironing technique you employ. Here is the approved order. Iron sleeves first, then the blouse. Then turn to the skirt and iron the hem up and down, never across the width of the hem. Iron collar and trim mings last. Pleats: Iron the hem and the skirt on the wrong side first. Put the pleats in on the right side with a pressing cloth over the fabric to prevent shine. If there are a lot of pleats, pin of baste them in place, then press. Al ways iron with the grain of the material. Shoulders: Use a sleeve board or tailor's cushion to make them neat and smooth. Adjust the cap of the sleeve over the tailor's cushion and press the shoulder as far down as the iron will take it. Avoid poking iron into the seams. Zippers: Close zipper before ironing, then place a thick towel under the zipper, a pressing cloth over it. This prevents an ugly, shiny ridge. I Fashion Flashes Extravagant gold embroidery shows off well on rich black suits, and you'll see the same motii on hats, both black, brown and other colors. The suits that are soft in silhou ette and detail are the most impor tant suit aews of the year. "ITiey outclass the fussy aaaa in appear ance and wear many times better. -- - ? If you're removing some pearl trimming from an old dresa, try using it on a hat. It's being done very effectively. Pouffs on gloves are another fash ion note you'll want to use to advan tage on dressy gloves. These pouts can frequently be sewed on gloves WOmflfm MraMnMfr if ^ Insure Cows' Health By Feiiilizatian Provide Plants That Satisfy Bovine Taste "Cater to the cowa' taste In de veloping soil treatments for pas tures," is the advice of Dr. William A. Albrecht, University of Missouri. Pointing out that soil fertility de termines how serviceable grass will be as s feed for the cow that con verts it into cash. Dr. Albrecht de clared that "pasture renovation calls for the manure apreader or the lime and fertilizer distribu tors, as the cow's taste tells us. "Grazing animals hava so often demonstrated their discriminating taste that almost any farmer can report startling observations of the choice cattle make between forages, according to the differences in the fertility of the soils that grow them." Dr. Albrecht declared that we have not yet come generally to believe that by feeding fertilizer* into our soils we make them healthy bodies, to the same degree as we believe for our own bodies the old adage that "to be well fed is to be healthy." "Yet when it is almost axiomatic that, there is much immunity to infectious disease in our own good health, might we not consider thai good health of soil through fer tility may represent in it an im munity to invasion or infection by weeds T he asked.
