How American is the American home? “American industry supplies a major- #ty of the equipment of the average American home, but, according to com- merce reports. in many homes are prod- ucts that originated in more countries than are represented in the League of | Nations,” says a bulletin from the Na-| tional Geographic Society. “From the roof, which contains tin from Malay, to the cellar, where pipes| might be covered with Canadian asbes- tos, forelgn articles are utilized by | builders and housewives.

The curtain around the shower may contain Malay or Brazilian rubber, but an interna- tional array of supplies is more evident in the medicine cabinet—Italian cream of tartar, Chilean iodine. Brazilian ipe-| cac, German menthol, Javanese or Peru- vian quinine, Venezuelan castor oil, and €od liver oil from Iceland or Labrador. “Milady’s dressing table is incomplete without sweet scented perfumes, some of which perhaps were imported from Prance. Chemically analyzed, they might be found to contain extracts from rose petals grown in Bulgaria, musk from oxen of Tibet, and civet, an ex- tract from Ethiopian civet cats.
