New By mail, eut of ; @ months, ¢2,00; year, 1.00 By Springtime Spring Tr “In spring,” as the poet tells us, ‘ fancy lightly turns to thoughts Some will “say it with music!” ade Notes you t love Some will “say it with ue flowers!" More will sell the old Liberty Bond and “say ; it with gifts”—perfumes, ivory, diamonds—what you will. will. Say it with perfume? Well, the center of the attar of rose industry is Kazan- lik, Bulgaria. It is in the midst of the Valley of Roses, in the lower levels of the Balkans, There for 200 y roses hiave been grown, and the oil distilled for the per fume markets of the world. It takes 30 roses to give a e drop of oil, and about 60,000 roses to produce one ounce, F An acre of land will produce about 4,000 pounds of flow. ers, or the equivalent of 20 ounces of oil. The quality of the roses depends nn the temperature during the period of flowering. The maximum production of roses in the Valley of Roses wus reached in 1907 when 30 million pounds of ® flowers produced 175,000 ounces of oil, distributed chiefly © Via Paris. The rose industry lapsed during the war but is again reviving, the acreage now exceeding 20,000, with the average f. approximately one acre. Say it with:ivory? The principal source of elephant ivory is the wild region of Southern and Western Abys- _ sinia. The first tusk of the slain elephant to strike the 4 ground becomes the property of the Abyssinian royal house. Elephant ivory comes also from the Congo, and walrus ivory comes from A and the Siberian islands, The great ivory markets of the world are Antwerp, London and Liverpool, in the order named. The great centers for carving of ivory are Vizagapatam, in India; Canton, in China, and Tokyo and Osaka in Japan. @anton ivories are famous thruout the Orient, because the city’s carvers are of marvelous skill. Say it with diamond The great sources of supply are British South Afr the Belgian Congo and Brazil. Production and sale are largely controlled thru the London Diamond Syndicate, but the market since the war has been to some extent disordered by the pawnings of Rus- sian noblemen and sales by European nobility out of work. But that supply is about absorbed now. Statisticians say that the United States’ importations of precious stones from 186% to 1917 were valued at ap- proximately $771,500,000, of which the diamonds were about $750,000,000. Economists classify diamonds as a “portable investment.” Say it with diamonds! * Brevity may be the soul of wit, but there is nothing very funny about being short of cash. A woman goes to the opera to see what she can see and to a party to Wear what she can hear.

Keeping it up will get you. The Mistake Hoover Makes Herb Hoover is a business man, an engineer of eco- ‘homies, and.a world citizen who has done a Jot for the without money and without rrice. ly’ in his heart of hearts Herb Hoover believes he is a sympathetic, kindly, honest citizen, who strives to Promote the pyblic weal wherever he chances upon a coy ; hiding its shy head in the bosky dell. Yet Herbert has one set of ideas for business, especially _ for big business, and another for little business. 3 You may have read the recent recommendation of : rt to Harding, allowing that since private business ' Was-Using about all the labor there was in the land, the government should do no work until “slack” times, so as to sort’er even things up ayd keep a certain amount of jobs going all the time. Sounds nice. Probably Herb himself didn’t see the bug under that chip. Herb graduated an engineer and he from that day on never experienced the joys of offering his labor if a strictly competitive market. Wot’s the bug? The bug is that Herb advises Uncle Sam not to boost the labor masket; he advises our Saving Sam, who only Spent $21,006,000,000, in a year recently, to refrain from public work «til “labor” is out of a job. The excuse is that thereby “we” guarantee steady em- ployment—st minimum wages—to labor. ' When the war closed “we” had several billion dollars’ worth of trucks, chemicals, clothes, food, shoes; did Uncle Sam throw these public wares on the market to depress the profiteering prices in life’s essentials? He did not; he preferred to sell half a billlon—not a million —dollars’ worth to France at tenth cost rather than to give the American farmer a chance to buy trucks and shoes and fertilizers below “the market.” ‘If that was good public policy then, it is good policy now to start every federal job full blast. Women never thought of smoking 20 or 30 years , they didn't do it. re which is why Many parties are ziven just to get a gang of autos in front of the for people to see.

In Tacoma our checker, working in the vicinity of 1ith Street and Broadway, questioned 159 motorists concerning their preferences in motor fuel. 67 used “Red Crown” exclusively, as against 26 for the nearest competing product—a lead of over 157%. And a majority of these “Red Crown” users didn't hesitate to say that quality dictated their choice—"“quality,” and the uniformly efficient “service” dispensed at Standard Oil Service Sta- tions.
