A.” The Detroit Board ot Commerce is undertaking a very direct and practical plan of giving impetus to the "Made in U. S. A.” sentiment that is manifest in many parts of the country. It has offered a prize of SSOO for the best design for a national trade mark, the competition to be for all American artists, and to close on February 25. The design must provide space for the words "Made in IndianapoLs, U. S. A.” The spacing must be such that the name of any city in the country may be used. It is stipulated that the design shall be national in character, with no suggestion of anything local. It must be a trade mark for nil the country and will be donated for use in every manufacturing establishment in the United States. It will not be copyrighted by the Detroit Boatd of Commerce. The war has directed attention to our own market. We begin to realize the extent to which we can supply our own needs and are recogni .ing the advantages of buying home products. Our domestic commerce is the greatest in the world. Few realize what it amounts to and the possibilities of its development. Trade statisticians pointed out at the beginning of the war that by expanding our commerce among ourselves we are able to make up any shrinkage in foreign trade. The interruption of communication with some of the world markets forced us to depend on home production more than ever and has attracted attention as never before to what we are able to do as manufacturing nation. The Detroit altruists ar? proposing a national trade mark to arouse interest both in this country and abroad in American products. The "Made in U. S. A.” is so obviously to the advantage of every citizen in this country that there should be no lack of support at home. It has not lacked indorsement of the people, but has needed something to make possible unity of action, such as is required to accomplish most effective results in the way of public interest and advertising. The national trade mark the Detroit business men propose to give to the country should meet that requirement and prove an important factor in our trade both at home and in the markets of the world. —lndianapolis Star.

Cook The four years have slipped by so rapidly that it scarcely seems possible. He has received many complimentary notices from the press of the state for his work, each ot which we know he deeply appreciates. Manufacturing plants all over the country are running day and night to fill the orders now coming in and the boom has just started. The ne.:t year will without doubt be the greatest in a business way ever known in this nation. The ■ watchful waiting policy” seems to have been worth all the criticism hurled against it by the republican press.

Especially pleasing, it is when the day has been cold and wet and dark, and night falls a great deal mere swiftly than the proverbial ‘eagle's feather that is wafted downward.’ Through the mist and rain the electric lights gleam with a flickering blur that is only excelled in beauty by the lights from the windows of the homes. The light is reflected and shines in the little pools of water on streets and walks, making a bright, golden path that leads straight into the Heaven of Home; and is reflected in the thousands of rain-drops on the bare branches of the trees like myriads of diamonds. A walk home through splendor like this, sets one thinking the best kind, and it is sometimes a misfortune when even one's best friend comes along and breaks in on the train of thought with cold, cold speech. But one appreciates the material just as much and the knowledge that light and warmth and a good supper are lying at the end of the light-paths reflected in the shining pools. On just such a walk as thih, I composed the following —no it can't be called poem, nor can it be called , "rhyme." for it is the blanketyblankest kind of verse, although I tried to prevent its message having that On Our Way Home. The day’s work is done. Through streets wet and dreary, All tired and weary I turn my homeward steps. Black falls the night. Long seems the way. Far gone the day. But suddenly, gladly, Shines the light Across my path From the windows Os my home. And the door will open to me! Our lije’s work i» done. Through paths wet and dreary, Al Itired and weary We’ve turned our Homeward steps. Black falls the night. Long seems the way, Far gone the day. But there, truly, brightly. Shines the LIGHT Across our path, From the window Or our HOME. And the Door is open to us!

I* Carroll and daughter, Mrs. Dan Vail, for Mrs. Clayson Carroll, one of the autumn brides, was the second of a series of two very delightful social affairs of last week at the E. L. Carroll home. At the card party the Christmas decorations of red and green prevailed in the place cards, the tally cards and in the two-course dinner. The dinner was served at 6 o’clock and was very tempting.

Friday, December 4, is giving its farewell tour. It is at least refreshing to note that the play is still holding the attention of the theater-goers after three seasons. Although the central figure is that of a Catholic priest, the character is so drawn that the question of sectarianism is not in any way involved. The players presented are worthy of attention of the most discriminating public, and the list contains names of people who have been especially engaged for their exceptional ability and a number of them have been seen here before. Jay Quigley’s characterization of the leading role. Rev. Brian Kelly is beinc commented upon as being a faithful portrayal of this sublime character Mr. Quigley will be r?membered no doubt playing here with James A. Keame, Richard Golden and E. S. Williard. The handsome and stately Margaret Dibdin Pitt, who plays the leading feminine role is causing a sensation with her powerful portrayal of this sympathetic character. Miss Pitt has been seen here with Otis Skinner and Eleanor Rqbson. They also played the lead in “Ben Hur" and were with the supporting company of Richard Mansfield for two seasons.
