STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED
Just now soipe of the finest engineer’s in Europe are busy upon
the problem of draining the North Sea. It is suggested that a dam
be built across the Strait of Dover and another dam be constructed
from Denmark to England- The object in. view is the gaining ot
more land. It is difficult for some of us to see why the undertak
ing should even be mooted but under serious discussion, the scheme
actually is. There is no doubt about that.
All of which reminds us of the long, looks and the long thoughts
that engage the minds, of men who' make history. Wealth may be
accumulated and controlled by a few, but there can be no monopoly
of ideas. Schemes that at first sight appear wild and unreason
able, have proven to the product of sane minds that grasped tha$
What humanity needed.

EVER THINK ABOUT RAYON?
■Scores of folks are telling us of the various causes contributing
to our present slowing down of 'business. Some say that our lagg
ing gait is due to cars. Still others tell us that undue stretching
of credit has made 'sound business an impossibility. Then, again,
thoughtful people tell us that because we’re over selective in our
jobs .a great many of us are not on anyone’s payroll.
But did it ever, occur to mosofi us that rayon silk has put
our affairs out of gear pretty badly?
Once our men for a considerable portion of the year required
heavy clothing. If heavy trousers and waistcoats were not to be
had, teaming simply could not be done. Socks were valued because
they were heavy and therefor warm. From November till April
a light overcoat was useless and unsalable. None but' heavy under
wear need be offered on .the sale counters. Lately all that has pass
ed. A very few pounds of wool are now required to make a man’s
suit. Silk stockings are now the mark of the well dressed man.
Indeed some of them now insist upon silk underwear. Less than
half the goods once required for making women’s, dresses is now
demanded.
Take the matter of hosiery as an example. Not so long ago,
merchants, ordered four lines of hosiery, a line for men, another
for women, a third for misses and a fourth for children. Fifty
cents per pair was a good, average price for stockings. Wool wasi
the almost universal fabric for stockings.
But now rayon is king. Wool is scarcely thought of. Instead
of being a secondary article of dress, and a mere incident in cost,
hosiery now is one of the principal articles of domestic considera
tion. Fashion has waved her magic wand and modern folk follow
- her as the folk- trailed -away after .the pied piper of unhappy memory.
And the consequences? The wool- trade is practically ruined,
not for years will it assume its old proportions. Tens of thousand
■of workmen and women for tlHs reason are idle.. Immense pasture
lands for sheep are lying idle. Factories are standing still that
once hummed to- the music ‘of the woollen manufacturer. A new
and puzzling era of merchandizing has dawned.
Rayon ,is only one of the things that might be mentioned as
factors in modern busliness stagnation. The people have built up
their own burdens. The call for thrills and for novelty lie at the
foundation of much modern unrest and misery. Fashion is a cruel
mistress, but all bow when she nods.
