LUCILE’TELLS AMERICAN
SILK MAKERS THEY EXCEL
Famous Styles Creator Praises Quality of Do
mestic Goods, and Says by Forgetting Their
Bashfulness They Can Capture Market.
By LADY DUFF GORDON.
(The Pamoua “Luclle” of Fashion.)
NEW YORK, Oct. 81.—I have had the most interesting expe
rience lately—and a new one—and, therefore, of infinite value. By
Invitation of the Chamber of Commerce of Paterson, N. J., I visited
their Industrial Exposition and National Silk Style Show. I came
away full of wonder at the extraordinary opportunity that the war
in Europe afford* America to control the whole silk trade of this
hemisphere at least
It i* not a new thought entirely with me that the Paterson
allies bar* bssn too much neglected !n
their own country. Particularly In
the United State# floes the old Idea of
not being a prophet In one's own
country hare force. There 1b here
too much worship of the "Imported”
label
Let me digress a moment concern
ing the overemphasis of the value of
the “imported" that la so evident
here. It Is really not a digression,
because It relates closely to your
present opport unit lea
To my mind the worship of the
"Imported” label In the United States
has »ome curious philosophical
phase*. A young nation Is usually
either absurdly distrustful of Itself
along certain lines, or absurdly arro
gant and self-confident Particularly
does this tendency show Itself In the
arta To my mind the United States
is a perfect example of the first ten
dency—as Oermany Is a perfect ex
ample of the other side of the matter.
The United States by turning at least
one-quarter of Its back to Its own
wonderful silks and seeking abroad
for foreign-made ones is. Inversely,
committing the same stupidity as
Oermany, brutally destroying the
Rhelms Cathedral and then blandly
telling us that It can be "restored” by
German architects!
U. 8. la Too Modest.
I do not mean, of course, to com
pere these two things themselves—to
link the rather likeable shyness of
the one thing with the detestable
horror of the other. What I want to
bring out Is that there can be too
touch national modesty Just as there
can be too much national arroganc^.
But this national modesty, this
feeling that becaua* something or
Dthar !e mails “abroad" It must b»
better. Is Just one phase of tha mat-
tar.
Thera la also the <Jeaire to hare
•omethlng “exclusive," somethin* dif
ferent than one’i neighbor, the fai-
dnatlon of "paying more for.lt," an
element of snobbishness And all
theee factors have been constantly
played upon by those whose Interest
it has been to do so It's a rather
banal thing to aay, but so many
Americans do not seem to understand
that a high price for a thing doesn’t
st all necessarily mean a high value.
Nor do I think that the satisfaction
s woman may get out of saying to
another, "Why, yee, my dear, It's Im
ported," Is a true satisfaction; unless
—and this Is the whole point—the ar
ticle she refers to Is really lntrlnsl-
eally better made abroad.
Some imports Justified.
There ere some things that they
make abroad which are really better
than the same class of things made
in America and If one likes these
things, then It Is Intelligent to get the
best. But if something Is made Just
as good or better here, why should
you pay for the ocean trip of its for
eign cousin?
As to the "exclusive" Idea—of that
I am strongly In favor. I believe In
having things that are one’s very
own. But you do not get true exclu
siveness from Just a piece of fabric—
taete, arrangement, personality and a
host of things enter Into It. One can
exclusively wear a nose ring and yet
not be admirable And some can
wear a dress of which there are a
thousand duplicates and create the
impression that It 1s the only one of
Its kind In all the world. There Is an
extraordinary amount of humbug In
that word "exclusive."
At Paterson I went through a num
ber of the mills, and I looked thor
oughly over all the exhibits of the silk
In the exposition buildings And hav
ing done so, I honestly can not under
stand why, with such opportunities in
his own country, any American should
buy Imported goods In every way
—and I have handled much silk
abroad—I consider the quality of
these goods can hold Its own with
the best of the French manufactur-
sra.
There ts only one thing in which
there might be Improvement—a dis
tinct Improvement—and that Is in
some of the designs and colors.
I consider that In the lives of ev
eryone there Is given a chance,
whether In business or private life—
and we either take It or leave It, and
It Is up to us which we do. The silk
manufacturers here this year have
this chance—they have the chance of
BUCHU FINE FOR

Mixed With Juniper Is Old Folks’
Recipe for Clogged Kidneys
and Backache.
Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish ail
clogged and need a flushing occa

dull misery in the kidney region, se
vere headaches rheumatic twinges,
torpid liver, acid stomach, sleepless
Less and all sorrs of bladder disor
ders, dizzy spells, spots before the
eyes, frequent desire to urinate. To
avoid above troubles, you simply must
keep your kidneys active and clean
by taking a spoonful of Stuart’s Bu
chu and Juniper Compound after
meals. Also stop eating sweets or
sugar. This is old folks’ recipe for
strengthening weak kidneys and blad
der. In a few days your kidneys w.ll
then act fine and natural. Stuart’s
Buchu and Juniper is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. It also neu

proving to the world that their silks
are Just as good as any other silks
offered on the market In Europe. With
this war on, and all the foreign mills
shut, they can do «o If they are only
enterprising enough and determined
to do so.
Have No Competition.
They will have no competition.
They will have things entirely In their
own hands. Think of ltl All they
have to do Is to prove to the dress
makers and the buyers In America
that they can supply all the silk
needed, and in satisfactory quality,
design and color.
Then, if they are able to do this,
when the war Is over and things have
taken their normal turn again, I con
sider that it will be most unpatriotic,
to say nothing of being most unbusi
nesslike, for any dressmaker to go
Europe and buy silks. And I don’t
believe they will go.
But the manufacturers must prove
It. They must strive to get better
designs and better coloring, and they
must not let anything interfere with
getting them, and they must use every
means which Is known to do so. I
myself, In the American models I in
tend to make In the near future, will
use American silks, and the more they
please me the more will I use. And
what I do many others will do.
Those German Dyes.
Let me make my position plain
once more. I repeat that as far as
the quality of these American silks
is concerned they are Just as good as
the best in Europe And many of
them are Just as good in coloring
and design as the best in Europe.
But It Is the duty of the manufac
turers to make all designs and color
ings as good or better than the best
In Europe. They can do It with a
little trouble, and isn’t the opportuni
ty worth It? I don’t know of any
more magnificent one anywhere.
It has been said that the requisite
dyes and chemicals to get the best
effects can not be made in this coun
try; that they must come from Ger
many. And, of course, they are not
being made there now. It Is current
ly believed that there is some mys
terious quality in the water, the air
and earth of Germany that can not be
duplicated elsewhere. This is arrant
rot!
It is a delusion painstakingly cre
ated and fostered by Germany In its
long campaign to make the world be
lieve that the Germans have powers
other nations have not. It Is sicken
ing that America has allowed itself to
be hypnotized by such talk, which Is
well understood Abroad as simply
part of their commercial propaganda.
Matter of Formulae.
You have great chemists here, great
scientists. What a German has done
surely you can do; and what a Ger
man has discovered surely you can
discover It Is only a matter of for
mulae. A little time, a little experi
mentation and a real desire to accom
plish are all that are necessary.
And even if it were so, if there
were some occult property about the
Germans dyes—a Heaven-sent “ex
clusive” secret—what of it? The mills
are closed abroad. You are all there
is In the field You can discover other
dyes, other chemical compounds. And
when the war is over you can get the
German dyes, If you haven’t discov
ered something Just as good or better,
Just as anyone else can. If there
were something basically wrong with
the quality of the American silk It
would be harder, of course—but the
quality la perfect.
There is all over the United States
an Increasing "Made-in-America”
awakening The silk manufacturers
should take every advantage of it.
They should push their goods in
South America, in England, Italy—
everywhere that the foreign-made
silks have been bought. Let them use
the period of the war for educating
the world upon the excellencies of
their product. If I were a silk manu
facturer I would get every bit of cap
ital I could, enlarge my plant as much
as I could and go Into the biggest
campaign for expansion that I could
conceive. I know what the rewards
would be.
Colors and Designs.
But I would also on my base of
perfect quality of silk rear up a
structure of perfect colorings and de
signs. If all the American manufac
turers would do this not only would
the appalling number of hundreds of
millions of dollars that go abroad
each year for foreign-made silks flow
into their pockets, but many more
millions that come from other parts
of the world would follow them.
Think of it—an unknown number
of months without the least competi
tion to show what you can do!
And don’t he so humble. I found
all the people in Paterson far too
humble as to what they were able to
do. They must change their attitude
of mind and Just know that their
goods are Just as good as any on the
world’s market, and if anyone says
they are not, they must prove that
they are, and 1f they can’t do it now
with this unique chance I am sorry
for them.
Perhaps you will wonder why I,
who am an Englishwoman and love
Prance, should read a lesson against
’•importations.” And I’ll tel! you. I
have a house here In America also,
and my intelligence and sympathies
touch hands with those of Americans
Further. I do not believe in “labels.”
I think, to use a homely phrase "ev
ery pot should stand on its own bot
tom.”
Coming Requirements.
Also I believe that excellence, ~ood
workmanship, truth and the first-rate
things are not confined within geo
graphical boundaries I believe there
will come a time when no one will
ask. “Was this made In Paris?” Or.
“Was this made In London*”’ and so
on. They will only ask themselves.
“Is this good? Is It the best?” And
whether it is or is not, the matter of
what country it comes from or what
I.

kind of national Angers made It won’t
matter a ha’penny.
But If one makes a marketable
thing in one’s own country as good
as that thing Is made abroad, and can
sell it cheaper, the people of that
country ought to buy It.
I would hate to believe, and I do
not believe, that people buy my
gowns because I designed them in
Paris, or In London I like to believe
that whether in New York, or Lon
don, or Paris, they buy them because
they find them good. I raised my
houses In these three cities, not be
cause they were New York, Paris or
Ixmdon but because each of these
places Is a great center, where suc
cessful people gather. Discernment,
good taste, fineness, elegance—these
are universal things. They do not
depend on maps.
And so I say to the silk manufac
turers of America: "Your product Is
as good as the best. Sell It.”
And to the consumers: ‘‘The Amer
ican silks are as good as the best.
Buy them.”

Fisheries Planned
As Course in School
SEATTLE, Oct. 31.—The first school
of fisheries In the United States has
been established at the University of
Washington through the efforts of
United States Kish Commissioner Hugh
Smith, who for some time has urged
such an innovation.
Initial steps were taken with the es
tablishment of a hatchery on the cam
pus. With the assembling of the State
Legislature the university will ask for
an appropriation to increase the capacity
of the undertaking.
NEW YORK, Oct. 81.—American
forward and British aft, with an up-
to-date and very cozy little cafe amid
ships, the new Argentine superdread
nought Moreno went to sea at 1
o'clock yestreday afiernoon. The Mo
reno, which was built by the New
York Shipbuilding Company, In Cant-
den, N. J., came to New York a few
days ago and, quite unheralded, pro
ceeded to the navy yard to have her
hull painted. That Job was finished
late Saturday, and yesterday the Mo
reno went out for sea trials upon
which her acceptance depends by Ar
gentina.
During her short stay In the navy
yard the Moreno attracted much at
tention. Naval officers especially were
interested, for there is only one other
Rhlp In the world like the 27,600-ton
Moreno, and that Is her sister ship,
the Rlvadavia. And the Moreno, too,
so far as officers at the navy yard
know, Is the only battleship with a
cafe.
Ship Cozy Within.
Secretary Daniels disapproves of
cafes, and everybody in the nsvy,
from the greenest stoker to the top
flag officer, knows it. If one went
through the Atlantic fleet with & fine
comb he could not find enough Intox
icants to make a baby Jolly.
But It’s different In the Argentine
navy. The Moreno Is spick and span
outside and cozy within. Everywhere
there are guns, among them an even
dozen of the newest and most power
ful 12-!ncher8. But the cafe has been
put where the Jar from the big guns
will not shake the glasses off the bar,
for the Moreno's drinks are served
over the cutest little bar on any of the
seven seas.
In old days, when drinks other than
grape were to be found on American
ships, they were kept in the officers’
lockers, and hospitality was not al
ways convenient. On the Moceno the
Argentine officer touches your arm,
whispers, “Have one on me,” and
walks you right up to the bar. There
a neatly uniformed mess attendant
sees that you are as well served as
you might be in the best New York
refectory.
“Cafe Squad” Unnamed.
The Moreno’s ’’cafe squad” has yet
to be officially designated*by title. It
has been suggested that the nomen
clature run something like "bartender
of the first class,” "bartender of the
second class,” “chief master-at-arms
of the cafe,” "beer yeoman,” “wine
yeoman” and so on down the list.
But the cafe is a very small part of
this new superdreadnoughL In ton
nage she is about the same as the new
American superdreadnought New
York. Forward she looks much like
the New York, for she has a latticed
mast and the turret arrangement Is
similar to American construction. Aft,
the Moreno has a pole mast like those
on the British Iron Duke dread
noughts.
Besides her main battery of twelve
12-inch guns, the Moreno has & sec
ondary battery of twelve 6-inch and
sixteen 4-lnch guns. She is designed
for 22.6 knots, and will cost about
$12,000,000.

To get at the source of rheumatic
f >ains It requires the deep, searching
nfluence of S. S. 8., the famous blood
purifier. Rheumatism is primarily a
blood disease thot, since It is in this
vital fluid that rheumatic tendencies are
carried, lodges in ths Joints and mus
cles, there to Irritate the nerves and
produce pain. And In order to drive
out these paln-lnfllcting poisons it re
quires S 8. S. to sink deep Into the
tiny glands Imbedded In the Innermost
tissues. 8. 8. 8. travels wherever the
blood goes and never loses Its medicinal
Influence. This explains why It over
comes the most chronic forms of rheu
matism, why it dislodges those hard de
posits that thicken the Joints, for it
acts as a solvent and assists the blood
to provide In the tissues those natural
element* for which the body-bulldlng
process continually craves and must
nave.
If you have never used B. 8. B. for
rheumatism, get a bottle to-day of anv
druggist. Use it as directed and with
some simple home helps you will soon
dethrone the worst and most painful
forms of rheumatism. Write the medi
cal department. The Swift Specific Co..
63 Swift Bldg., Atlanta, Ga., for addi
tional advice. Yours may be a case
where a slight help from a specialist,
whose advice is free, will solve the mys
tery that has been making life miser
able for you. When you ask for 8. S.

tutes.

Harmless but Effective—Mixed
With Sulphur Makes Hair
Soft and Luxuriant.
The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair Is coming In
vogue again, says a well-known
downtown druggist. It was our
grandmother’s treatment and hun
dreds of women and men, too, are
again using it to keep their hair a
good, even color, which Is quite sen
sible, as we are living In an age when
a youthful appearance Is of the great
est advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product called "Wyeth’s Sage and
Sulphur Compound” for about 59
cents a bottle. It Is the most popular
because nobody can discover It has
been applied. Simply dampen a soft
brush or eponge with "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur" and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time Do this to-night, and by
morning ths gray hair disappears and
after another application It Is re
stored to Its natural color.
What delights the ladles with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that be
sides beautifully darkening the hair,
they say It produces that soft luster
and appearance of abundance which
Is so attractive; besides prevents
dandruff, Itching scalp and falling
hair. Here, you gray-halred folks,
