MAKING A BETTER
GRADE OF W00LENS
Report Of Census Bureau
Shows Fewer Factories,
But More Capital.

Washington. April "A prellmln-
AIRY statement showing the general re-
suits OF The 1909 census for establish
menJs engaged in the manufacture OF
WOODEN and worsted goods has just
been issued by the director of the
census, +. Dana Durand
Although the number of establish
ments has decreased, denotng a ten
denCy toward concentration, which
has been the rule in the wool manu-
featuring industry since 1870, on the
other hand the amount OF capital re-
ported as invested shows an increase
from $3.50. 554 600 in 1899 to 4i5.4e5.~
oo0 III 1902 or 81 per cent. during the
decade. The cost OF materials used
increased ~ per cent and the amount
paid in salaries and wages 81 per
cent. The number of salaried officers
and clerks increased but t. per cent
and the number OF wage earners only
30 per cent.
The value OF products increased
from S23S, AS 600 in 1899 TO Ss19,S26,-
600 in 1909. or - per cent. The great
err part OF this increase took place dur
ing the second half of the decade
prior to 1900 in the history of the
industry.
The quantity of wool consumed, in
condition purchased, increased from
330, 1T9,000 pounds TO 4474,751 900
pounds, or Al per cent: reckoned on
secured wool basis. the increase was
so per cent The quantity of raw cot
ton consumed decreased from 40,245,-
600 pounds to 20,055, 900 pounds, or so
per cent. while the amount of cotton
yarn purchased increased from 35.343,-
900 pounds to SO, 100000 pounds or -
per cent. The net result is a desided
decrease in the amount of cotton used
as a material by wool manufacturers.
The figures also show a marked de-
crease in the use of shoddy The
quantity purchased decreased 35 per
cent. and the amount manufactured in
WOODEN mills for use therein fell of
10 per cent. In 1899 the total amount
| of shoddy consumed by wooden and
worsted manufacturers was 6S.663, 900
| pounds: in 1909 it was only 53,621,-
600 pounds, decrease all the more
significant when the growth of the in
dustry is considered
Little Shoddy Worsteds.
| This is explained by the fact that
the manufacture of worsted fabrics,
into which shoddy does not enter as a
material to any appreciate extent
has increased enormously, while tho
quantity of wooden fabrics in which
shoddy is utilized was actually less in
| 1909 than in 1899.
The most notable features of this
statement are the great increases in
quantities and values of wOrsted ia.
brics produced. OF the all-wool goods
the value of WOODEN suitings and over
coatings increased 5 per cent and
WOODEN dress goods 26 per cent. Wor.
sted suitings, on the other hand, in.
/ creased 1876 per cent in value and 119
per cent in quantity, and worsted
dress goods 231 per cent in value and
SO per cent in quantity, both showing
a much higher value a square yard in
1909 than in 1899. Atwood flannels
for underwear decreased both in Auan
tity and in value, while allwool blan
kets decreased slightly in quantity
but gained in value.

practiced of all the Halloween recipes is that
which admonishes the credulous maiden to eat
an apple before a looking glass while combing
her hair with the promise that If these direc-
lions be followed explicitly the face of her
destined conjugal partner will be seen in the
mirror as though peeping over her shoulder.
Equally well known is the scheme whereby
any maiden may find out the first letter of the
name of her future husband by peeling an ap-
pie, taking the pairing by one end in her fin
gers and after swinging it three times around
her head allowing it to fall in whatever fash
ion it may. little Imagination may be neces-
sary to construe the position of the pairing as
indicative of a desired letter. but usually this
mental aid is readily supplied
Another mode of peeping into the matri-
monial lottery has been transplanted to Ameri-
ca from Scotland. By this plan the young
women go hand-in-hand, blindfolded or at least
with eyes closed, to the cabbage patch and
each pulls the first plant met with. Earth on
the root of the cabbage thus selected signifies
dowry. The shape and size of the vegetable
denote the appearance and size of the future
spouse, while the taste of the heart and stem
indicate his disposition. The Irish girls have
a scheme for catching a glimpse of future
husband by throwing ball of yarn out of the
window, holding the end of the yarn and then
rewinding 1t saying the Pater Noster backward.
If the ball of yarn, outside in the darkness, be
watched carefully the young woman may hope
to be rewarded by seeing the desired appari-
tion In this same old-fashioned category is
the legend which admonishes girl to wet the
sleeve of a shirt and hang it on chair before
the fire she retires on Halloween. Then if
she remain awake until midnight she may see
her future helpmate enter the room and turn
the drying garment
Entirely erroneous is the impression prevail
ing in some quarters that all matrimonial prog
nosticatipg, as carried on at Halloween, is for
the benefit of the fair sex. AS matter of fact
there are numerous forms of divination de-
signed for the use of arden. SWANS. The best
known of these is that wherein the smitten
youth descends cellar stairs with candle in
one hand and mirror in the other, hoping to
find the face of sweetheart reflected back to
him. Especially adapted for practice by farm
er lads is the hemp-seed ordeal. The youthful

concerning their future life partners Indeed.
Saint Matrimony is the patron saint of Hal
loween, and it is the night of all nights for
peering into the future, and particularly for
discovering just what sort of husband or wife
fate has decreed for the unmarried.
Halloween appears to be in it's origin a Gu
rious combination of classic mythology and
Christian superstition. For instance the Ro-
mans had on November 1 a feast to Pomona,
the goddess of fruits and seeds, at which time
there was a formal opening of the stores of
eatable laid up in the summer for use in win
ter. This may explain the origin of the very
appropriate plan of using nuts and apples in
connection with the Halloween festivities. On
this same date occurred the great autumn fes-
tival to the sun, with which the Druids or an
cient Celts celebrated thanksgiving for their
harvest. On the eve of the day the Lord of
Death called together the wicked souls that
within the twelve months had been con-
demned henceforth to occupy the bodies of
animals
Especially quaint has been the observance
of Halloween in Ireland, where from the earl
lest days it was the custom for each house
hold to set out on Halloween the best vands
1t could afford, and apples and nuts were de-
soured in abundance. In some instances peas
ants went from house to house collecting
bread, cake, butter, cheese, eggs and other
eatables for feast. in many parts of Great
Britain bread or cake has long been associated
with Halloween and to this day the women of
some districts in England observe the custom
