Butler Students Buy Defense Bonds
Student representatives of Butier University campus organizations recently voted to turn a - portion of profits derived from organization dances into United States Defense bonds. The representatives also agreed to minimize social expenses by cutting down on programs and decorations. A tentative plan of reducing mone) spent on orchestras was "discussed, whereby an orchestra composed of Butler students would play at some dances in return for a minimum fee. Dean of Women Elizabeth B. Ward, Dr. Karl S. Means, acting head of the Men's Council, and Prof. George F. Leonard, director of budgets for Butler dances, approved the dance profits detense bond plan.

Birdseye View of the Shortages And Restrictions in Clothing Field
WHETHER OR NOT she skips the newspaper bulletins on battles, today's clothing buyer is well aware of the fact that a war is in
progress. Some of the items she used to
buy are as rare as the cigar-store
Indian; supplies of others have been curtailed. Even among items of which there are plentiful stocks, eolor ranges are not so wide and varied.
An indication of the restriction of color ranges comes from the Textile Color Card Association which compiles master color cards on fabrics, hose, shoes and leather for| the fashion industry. Last year the Association's hosiery color card included nine shades. This year, in the interests of industrial economy and the national defense effort, the number] has been reduced to four. The four shades, however, have] been chosen to complement the important basic color ranges of spring costumes and accessories. They are Blushbond, a skin tone; Sunnitan, a golden sun tone; Amberspice, a “burnt” shade, and Townmist, a
‘neutral beige. 2 2 o
THE CUT in the civilian nylon supply last week will be reflected | before long, too. Nylon yarn deliveries to hosiery manufacturers were jeut 20 per cent and to weavers of vard goods, 40 per cent. This means that there will be an increase in combinations of other materials such as cotton or rayon with the nylon available. Another indication of the trend to conserve supplies of garment materials is the move of a large woolen firm to co-ordinate its colors. A series of basic colors will appear each season in its fabrics. Designs may vary from season to season, but the basic colors will remain the same and if the buyer wants a length of coat material next year to “go with” a frock bought
this year, it will be available in a
harmonizing shade. A move to stretch out the wool supply is the current experimentation with “50-50” fabrics—half wool and half spun rayon. Lines of suitings and coatings are being developed to give the appearance of 100 per cent woolen fabfics for use in civilian garments if additional wool is required for war use. Already these have appeared in materials that not only look like worsted and wool but can be pressed and sponged as wool is. It is true, though, that the fabrics will wrinkle more easily than an all-wocl type. There will be two-tone mixtures, flannels, twills, herringbones and pencil-stripes in these fabrics and probably other variations of men’s wear -materials. Cotton materials may change their style, too, as a result of the war, For instance, if the Army should demand increasing amounts of heavy cotton materials, the looms on which denims, sheetings, seersuckers and piques are woven, will be devoted to war production, cutting down the supply to civilians. And if fine cotton fabrics are demanded for airplane and balloon cloth and powder bags, there may avail.
IN THE footwear field, changes in styles will be caused as much by change in the wearers’ activities as by material shortages. The lower heel, for instance, is expected to become more popular as more women take to uniforms in war relief work. Lower heels not only feel better | for pavement-pounding activity, but
| they also look better with suits than do high heels. There probably will be fewer elasticized slip-on models in shoes because of the increasing shortage of the material that puts the “stretch” into them. In Canada, manufacture of crepesoled shoes has been banned because the crepe is made of 100 per cent virgin rubber. Since galoshes and overshoes can be made of 25 per cent reclaimed rubber combined with 75 per cent of other materials, their manufacture willl not be affected so greatly, although manufacturers are cutting the number of styles offered. Metal eyelets in shoes may be replaced by plastics if OPM should order a halt on the use of brass or tin for that purpose in an effort to conserve these for war use. The use of nailhead ornamentation also
‘would be affected by such an order.
” ” ”
AKIN to the worries of shoe manufacturers in connection with the rubber situation are those of the corset industry. Corset manufacturers have submitted a statement to OPM claiming that elastic foundation garments are necessary to women’s health and, for this reason, have a place in upholding the nation’s morale.
The manufacturers also have submitted a resume of letters from schools of nursing, personnel directors and women’s editors on the value of foundation garments for muscular support~and prevention of fatigue. It is not likely that use of rubber thread in foundations will be eliminated completely, however. Even if the all-elastic garment is not available, there will be foundations made with side panels and gussets of elastic. There may be fewer hose supporters per garment, too. What today's clothing buyer is discovering in her shopping tours is that Mars has joined the ranks of the stylists.
