"WOOL EXTRACT"
How 1t Is Used in the Manufacture of
Wooden Goods and Carpets.


Wooden Goods and Carpets.
Shoddy is the product of wooden
rags torn BY machinery into fiber. A
variety made from hard woolens, like
broadcloth. is known as mungo. Manu-
facturers like to designate it as wool
extract" better than as shoddy, because
the production gained a bad reputation
at the beginning of the war, when I'M
scrupulous manufacturers put from
sixty to eighty per cent. of ShOddy into
the clothing intended for Uncle Sam.
the result being that in a short time it
faded away like the morning dew. So
the word ''shod "" became reproach.
Wooden good; III lde with skill with not
over thirty-eight per cent. of shoddy arc
equal in appearance and for wear to
those made from pure wool. In goods
thus made the finish is generally fine,
as the shorter and medium tibers of the
shoddy mix with the longer ones of the
wool and felt into closer fabric and
have better pile to be raised.
sheared and pressed to a fine face.
Thus it has. rightly used, been the
means OF giving consumers as good an
article, practically, as the all-wool, at
a much less price. Probably without
it the present price of wooden garments
would be ut least double, and the low
and medium grade goods would be i'm
possible.
1t is well known how largely the
carpet trade has extended within the
past dozen years and how prices have
come down so that carpets are within
the means of ALL This is made posi-
BILE from the fact that old carpets can
be torn up and the length of the tibers
allowing them to be re-spun alone, GER
tain colors in the carpets can be made
wholly of this carpet shoddy.-BoSton

caused by the appointment OF Governor

who 10 acting Governor by virtue OF his
being President OF the Senate, is the
leading Rspirant for the position, but there |
are several other prominent politicians
who would not object to being called to |
the chair, There il some talk Of going

bers say that 1t is the duty Of the General /
Assembly to elect Q Governor At the
earliest practicable moment, ANY delay
would certainly CompliCats the situation,
