Adapt Wardrobe
To Way of Life
Clothes Aro Smart When
Suitable for the Occasion—
the Fundamentals of Good
Dressing
"Prepare to see yourself as a
new woman this winter but don't
get so excited about bustles, base -
nes, etc., that you forget the funda-
mentals of good' dlressing—,fine
quality good lines, pel'fect , IIR
and suitability to your way of life."
This is advice compiled' from the
opinions of seven outstanding fash-
ion authorities.
This is advice worth taking 'ser-
iously too — partieularly the part
ablaut suitability to your way of
life. A wardrobe compoeled eat 'ey
of bustle dressers would be as un-
aatisltesitory for a business woman
as one including only simple wool
shiritwalslters would be for a wom-
an whose life is a round of parties.
Quality, Line, Fit, •Suitability
To ascertain "what you really
need most, think a bit about the
kinki of life you lead. Is it one con-
tinuous calendar of - luncheons, af-
ternoon parties; and evening
bridge? Thenyou need more dressy
day frocks than tailored street mo-
dels, aP course.
Do you work in an office? Then
suits, and! a couple of basic dresses
are tine an'eiwer. One, or at the
most two, dressy frocks for cock-
tail
ocktail parties after work, dinner wear
and Sunday swivels ehould suffice.
Put the abulk of your clothes allow-
ance into the kinds of .clothes you
have to wear most of the time.
If you live in. the'country, tweeds
and Other country --ash clothes
should be your main concern. Pro-
bably one citified outfit for shop-
ping lunch in town will do, Per-
haps not,

Automobiles
During Its, productive life -time,
tbe richest gold field in the world, in
South, Africa, grokbected a :total
Value .:in „gold' .:of ..a'pproximately
seven billion dollars. 'By way of
comparison, it is, interesting to note
that urine 1900 and including 1937;
the discovery of the automobile has
prodtaced a golden flew of wagels ag-
gregating ,the stupendous, sum of
eighty-ltovr billions of dollars. These
wages are directly traceable to the
automobile anki would not have ex -
fated, excerpt for its development.

About Wool Gathering
Ilf all insomnia victim were to
count 1'25,000 sheep before going to
Bleep, he would have counted the
uumubor of sheep whose wool was re-
quiredi to produce urpholstery fab -
rice for the Canadian Automotive
industry in 1937. When the figures
for 1933 and 1939 are available, the
ineornnia victims will have to add
many thousands to the 1937 total,
It •takee' four ebeeip to produce suf-
ficient wool to make the upholstery
material for one Pontiac sedan.
Records also show that the 125,000
sheep Provided 1,000,000 lbs. of
wood and that the ,service of 275
skilled workers were required' to
make the finished fabrics. And so
sheep must be recognized as some-
thing more than an antidote for in-
somnia, Wool gathering ie a big
business,
Trucks With Limousine Comforts
The brawny, 'hemuscletl truck
driver will be 'as extinct as the
dinosaur if the trend toward driving
ease is continued by motor truck
manufacturers. Cabs of the 1940
Chevrolet and' GMC Trucks feature
sash effete' touchely as; seats with
rubberized pads, embased window
glass mounting, nonrshatterable
glassy gun metal interiors and fac-
ilities, for the installation of heater,
fan, radia, cgiarette lighters, and
other accessories, reminiscent of
milady's limousine. With the ad-
dition of Synchro-Mesh tramsnnia-
sloms and' ballsbearing gears, the
huge monsters of the road are as
easily controllable as the lightest
possenger cars.

FOR NECESSARY
TfHNGS
Prime Minister Chamberlain told
the Empire the other dap that folk
would be required to adjust their
budgets to the scale of necessary
thig if the war is .to be won by the
Allies, We are quite sure that his
warning will not be !heeded, Early
in the century men of the calibre of
Jas. 3, Hill 4oid the people of this
continent that the time had come
fon them to eliminate all unneces-
sary expendd'ture. His serious words
were ;as little regarded as the caw-
ing of the first crony in March. Since
the timely Warning of this great
financier things financially have
grown steadily worse with this
whole continent — yes, and with the
world. We hare been buying stuff
that is not necest5ary and we must
pay the piper. An unreasoned op-
timism has lured us into business
folly, Even war bas not, and will
n8t, cure us. of our 'stupidity. In-
deed,
ndeed, that most deceptive ot; all
financial mirages, war prosperity,
has caused a great many to lose
their heads. Vire seem determined
to have luxuries, Once in a while
we tighten tup at the spigot only to
open at the bung. Prime Minister
Chamberlain has spoken. It we con-
tinue our folly the blame is alto-
gether our own.
A GRIM HINT
Me average •Csnacti•an. does not
realize that Canada is at war,. He
believes in an easy way that Britain
is at war, but as for Canada's parti-
cipation therein, that is a horse of
another color. The United States
business men do not take our con-
dition in, any such easy way. We
snap our fingers and say there is no
doubt about the islwue of the war.
The United stalest busdnebs men
do not so look upon the issue. They
say' "Canadians are at war and, we
do not know what will become of
them." For that reason the Can-
adian dollar dropped to eighty-nine
cents. Indeed, a great ,man?
American businees men do not want
Canediam money at all. All of
which is a broad hint dor Canadians
to wake up and to get this war mess
through with as quickly as. polssible.
There shill are a few Canadians who
look across their noes at the mea
who enlist, 'They still talk lightly
of the necessity of putting their
basks into wha tis nothing short of
a ,terrible, a desperate struggle. Bat
all such easy going folk had better
rub their eyes and roll up their
sleeves 1n• a fight that involves
everything worth living. The state
of the Canadian dollar tells its own
story.
