| st, Louis, Oct. 15-''Are those the
latest fall styles In crowns?" she
asked as she stood gazing at the in
tcresting exhibit OF crowns worn by
European sovercigns which are dis
played in the palace Of varied indus
tries.
OF course 1t was a woman who
asked the question, No man would
care whether they were this years
3tyle or last years, but SO strong Is
the feminine aversion to not being in
style" that This woman was actually
curious to know whether the exposi-
ton was exposing back number crows

styled Too Costly to Change.
Tho ccrwns, in fact. are of ancient
vintage. The styles of such headgear
do not change. The sovereigns. in
deed, are no. even asked whether they
fit or not. They are too costly to
change every time a ruler ascends the
throne. A number us crown may I'll
one king very nicely, while his sue
cessor may have to use both hands
to keen the wind from blowing ii off.
Worn by another T. may come down
and rest en- the ears, but he loes not
complain, He is glad enough to get
any old crown. The crowns which are
exact replicas of those worn by Euro
pean sovereigns, form an interest ng
exhibit in this, to me. the mos. inter
esting Of all the exhibit places. After
studying the royal headgears for
awhile, Jane declared that her esteem
for Napoleon as man Of praC zeal
hard sense had greatly increased In
stead of compelling Josephine to wear
a great big inverted pot of heavy me-
tai and stones, he had her crown
made of diamonds invisibly held to-
gether by narrow bands of gold. a
delicate, artistic and beautiful thing.
suitable for winter or summer
Crowns no Longer Worn.
But tho crown industry no longer
ilourishes There is no great demand
for crowns. The king business Ia
about played out. Even King Edward
prefers nice, soft fedora.
Let us turn to some modern indus
try that is closely related to the com
fort and happiness Of tho people.
Here ii is. A complete exhibit of cot
ton-splnning machinery from England
Is in full operation. There are thou
sands Of people in ,nis country, no
the yarns and threads with which cot
ton fabrics are woven. are made. But
fortunately for the interests of popu-
lar educational and industrial prog
gress, there are many more thousands
who are eager to see processes TO
learn how things arc made and thus
TO get at the secrets of our progress
as a people.
Process Of Spinning.
Here one may study the whole pro-
cess Of spinning, from thc ball of
raw cotton Ia the finely spun cotton
thread or yarn. First comes the cot
ton gin. which separates tho cotton
from its seeds, then the bale breaker
or cotton pulling machine. which gets
the cotton into shape for the mixing.
from which IL passes TO the lap ma.
chine, an ingenious mechanism which
forms The cotton into Flaps" The ct
ton IS finally passed through carding
machines which form II into endless
rolls that are coilod into long cylin-
ders. The combing machines take
ont the short flhers and then the coil
is passed into whirring machines that
twist IL and keep on twisting II till
II becomes fine yarn ready to be
made into cloth. Nothing could be
more beautiful in the way Of machin-
cry AMI nothing could work more
smoothly than this cotton spinning
plant.
