ROBIA-
A BEAUTIFUL NEW STYLE OF COTTON which is the Tootal's latest invention known for its special feature of crense. resisting.
Some ranges of Robla are printed. Colourful printa, simple or aophleti ented as you please. Others are woven from coloured yarns. These have at- tractive aurfaces-novel little raised dots and stripes, embroidered" motifs and spots, criss-cross and raised thread designs. They make expensive looking frocks and blouses,
For all its delightfully delicato appear- anco Robin has a sturdy resistance to creasing. It is treated (unt as Tootal Linen is treated) by a patented procoss which gives it, a power to resist and recover from creasing similar to that pospessed naturally by wool. And washed as wool it will keep this
crense resistance;

The exhibition will be the most important and impressive of the retrospective expositions held 80 far in the world. Nover, seldom, have so many and varied paintings, sketches and drawings by one master, been exhibited to- gether at one time.
The master's works are scattered all over the world. One-sixth are preserved In Spain (the Prado Museum of Madrid alone has forty of them), one-tenth are in Venice, und the remainder are in the public galleries in Florence, Naples, Padua, Boston, Cincinnati, Paris, Besancon, London, Vienna, Munich, Berlin, Dresden, Antwerp and Leningrad. A number aro in the Vatican, or are private property.
Many governments, the Pope and some private collectors have al- ready agreed to lend their trea- sures to Venice for the occasion, and negotiations between the ex- Josition committee and the re-, maining ownoa with view of get ting the canvasses temporarily, are now going on. Huge sums will be involved for the insurance of the masterpieces while being moved to Venice, and while they remain on exhibition.

"The outstanding reason for the present crisis is n shortage of flax from Soviet Russia. The linen mills of Northern Ireland, which employ about 85,000 workers, are dependent on Soviet Russia for more than 90 per cent. of their rawi materials. The Soviet Union itself is the world's biggest flax produ- cer, growing between 90 and 96 per cent. of the world's total flax Rupply.
