Now they are coming more and more to use what might be| called ‘made in America complex- fons'' and the country ls cven ex- porting alds to beauty to the ends of the earth, ‘Cosmoti; contlaues the bul- letin, *is derived from a Greck word meaning ‘to adorn' or ‘to beautify;' and the term ecrves In its strictest sense to wded out the | large group of perfumes and soaps and certain other accessories used in the negligee period of mhady's day that cannot be considered di- rectly”to enhance her appearance Rouge from a Flower and a Bug he blg three in the world of cosmetjcs are powder, rouge and cream; and of these stand-bys of the feminine toilet table the United States exports about 2,600,00 worth annually. This probably is close to the value of the imports of these specific substances, for the | greater part of the $9,000,000 worth of ‘perfumery and cosmetice’ brought into the country each year is made up of perfumes and per- fume materials. Many times the amount of the exports and imports of powders, creams and rouges are | consumed in American boudoire — and on American street-corners — | for the value of the products turn- ed out annually by the perfumers | #nd cosmetic manufacturers of the | United States is botween §75,000,- 000 and $100,000,000, “Ior the best rouge the con- sumers of the Unlted States mu still look beyond the count borders. The original coloring ma- terial \\':(d ed red corollas of the thistlelik afflower plant of the Near Kast” The plant I8 cultivated in France and still is the source of the bloom on millions of rosy| cheeks. Much of the coloring mdt- ter of commerclal rouges is car- mine, the red obtained from the crushed, dried bodles of the cochin- | eal insect, also a foreign substance. | Powders from Stone and Starch “Pace powders are made of ground and bolted tale and rh;flk,,1 rice powder” and corn powder. Of the last 'named ingredient America possesse8 ‘vast quantities, but un- fortunately the grains of corn starch are about three times the| size of those of rice atarch and therefors. do . .not make as high grade face powders. Much rice is grown 4n the United States and| home-produced as well as imported | rice powder ds metamorphosed into the Poufiré de Riz of the cosmetic counter. | “Themendous quantitles of talc| and chalk are used annually in the| form of talcum powder and in com-| bination. with rice and corn pow- ders. Low grade powders are made from domestic talc mined in sev- eral eastern etates, but for the highest grade powders the manu- facturers import thelr materials. Annual imports of talc and chalk amount to ahout 10,000,000 ponml\‘ from Italy and 5,000,000 from France. Cold Cream Cosmetic Patriarch | “Cold cream is the typical cream | cosmetic and one of the oldest of the beauty aids used today. Sav-| ages started the cold créam h;ylnL, millions of years ago with rancid! butter and salt. With vanishing | cream, a slight modification, cold | cream today makes up an 1n\pox'~\ tant part of the cosmetic business.! Those creams ,which are built on‘ | vaseline, lard B_‘\d lanolin, or wool- | grease, are entirely a domestic| product. Liquid paraffine has be-| | come the most popular base roun\—‘ | 1y, ho er, because it does not rancid, and for this ingredient man- ufacturers must depend largely on | importation. Large quantities are ; brought in annually from the Dutch | East Indies and British India. | | *“Face powders and rouges are| | largely for application to the cheeks, but no other facial feature has been permitted to escape the cosmetic specialist. There are henna and other washes for the hair, eye-| brow pegcils, Tipsticks, lash pastes, and ‘shadow’ coloring for eyelids. metic shop offers hand lotions and, nall polishes and enamels, and euch | general cosmetics as skin foods, complexion clays and sunburn re- movere. Coconuts Contribute “Skin oFod” | “Henna is extracted from the| leaves of an Egyptian plant. The | coloring matter of eycbrow pencils | and lash pastes may be India ink | or coal tar dyes. Most lipsticks are made of grasses stiffened with bees- wax and ro!orl-‘ with carmine. or safflower. The m¥jority the hand lotions and vanishing creams con- tain glycerine, of which the United | States produces ample quantities. | | Nall polishes usually contain tin| | oxide and nall varnishes and cnam | | els consist of resinovs gums, most- | ly Imported.

In the manufacture of dentrifices the United States has taken a part, and the annual exports now amount to about $2,500,000. Tooth pastes consist large of powdered chalk, soap and essential oils. The bulk of the ingredients, therefore, are obtainable at home. U. S.

The Romans im- proved the method somewhat. A complete soap factory whose prod- uct was doubtless highly prized by the beauties of ancient Rome, has been found among the ruins of Pompeil. From Rome the use of soap has continually spread farther farther. One might say that civilization has slipped around the world on a film of soap."

Burton Chadwick, parliamentary secretary to the Wourd of Trade, in a recent ad- dress, After emphasizing that be was speaking entirely on his own responsibiiity and not In any way representing the views of the gov- erment, he sald: “I feel that the time has come when we must know more about the whole administration of our trade unions, We must know why it is that a good workman, if he chooses, cannot work as hard as he likes, produce as much as he can, thercby earning for himself a higher wage and by his greater output clicancp the cost of the articles he is producing and so enable the trader“to compete in the world's markets, “We must know what share of responsibility lies with the admin- istration of this huge combine of labor when, in the first six months of this year, we lose 7,500,000 days in strikes™ “We must know whether it is in the interest of the community that trade unionism has become a great political organization and whether it is for their good that members are compelled to contribute to the poli- tical funds, whether they agres or not with the political doctrine of their unfon.” DIES TO E APE OPERATION Bayonne Man Kills Himself After Overhearing Physician's Words Bayonne, N.
