ments for their divorce as far back as

the housework and had struck him

TO REMAIN
ON MEXICAN BORDER
Now Conceded Administra-
ton Acted Wisely in the
Mexican Affair.""

Washington, June president Taft
does not propose to be in hurry
about removing the United States
troops from the Mexican border. 1t
Is the hope and expectation of the
administration that by fall stable
government will be doing business in
Mexico, and IL such shall be the case.
the troops will then be dispersed.
Not only the President, but all the
army officers who have had anything
TO do with the massing Of troops in
Texas feel that the soldiers. both Of
icers and men, have benefited by the
maneuvers. The general staff of the
army is particularly pleased with the
interest national guard officers have
manifested. Every state has been rep
resented at the maneuvers by from
four to sixteen of its military officers.
The instruction they have received, so
members of the general staff say, is
OF characy.r that they could not have
obtained had not the federal troops
been massed in Texas.
Naturally President Taft is greatly
pleased with the outcome of what may
be called the Mexican affair" He
knows now that the country. with re-
markable unanimity, indorses every
act of his in connection with the Mexi-
can situation. There were times when
the situation looked squally for the ad-
ministration. The order sending the
troops to the Texas frontier provoked
a great deal of criticism until the coun-
try came to understand the situation.
BY the time the Mexican regulars and
the Mexican insurrectos were fight
ing along the border. practically every
body in the United States was say
ing that the President had acted with
great wisdom and forthought in order
ing the troops there.
Then followed severe criticism of The
president because. he would not ask
congress for authority to intervene
even some of the United States sena-
tors after few peple on the American
side of the border line had been killed
by stray bullets from guns in the
hands of the Mexicans, demanded that
the President should take steps at
once to protect the lives OF Americans
living along the border.
Public opinion now seems unani-
nous in saying that the President has
pursued "A wise course. Even if there
should be presented to congress n re-
quest for a large sum of money to
meet the expenses of maintaing the
troops on the border there would prob
ably be no protest AS matter of
fact. there will not be demand for
large deficiency appropriation, as the
war department found it possible to
maintain the troops cheaper in the
concentration camp than they could be
maintained at their regular stations.
II there should he request for a de-
ficiency appropriation, is will be for
money to cover transportation.

him a new funny story. Anyhow. they
both laughed.
In the meantime the suffragettes,
under the leadership of Miss Ada Bax-

started to sound out the other women
as to their opinions about the suffrage

When Harry Mock produced overalls

EASY TEXTILE TEST
TO DISPLAY FRAUDS
Miss Gibbs Complies Ways to
Detect Dishonesty in
Dry Goods.

Champaign. Ill.,, June a.-"Some
Points in Choosing Textiles" is an in
.eresting and instructive bulletin by
Miss Charlotte NJ. Gibbs, that has just
been issued by the household science
department. of the University of Ini-
1os. 1t tells mainly of the adul.cra-
ions used in different materials and
explains the ways Of getting rid of the
nominations of the fake material
manufacturer.
Cotton being the cheapest of all ma
terials is not often adulterated How
ever there is method of loading the
material with starch in order to make
t appear more heavy. But to the
ouch this loading feels harsh. and
holding it to the light will also show
mp the defects if the piece examined is
thin. With dotted swiss there is a
tendency on the part of manufacturers
to place the dots in the material by
paste instead of having them worsted
here and washing is the test
Linen is often adulterated with cot
ION and whole cotton cloths are often
mercerized and sold as all linen To
distinguish linen from cotton examine
the threads carefully; cotton is made
up of short fibers which project from
he surface of the thread and become
fuzzy when the thread is rubbed be-
tween the fingers; Wen broken, cot
ton has a tufted end, while the linen
fibers break more unevenly and leave
a more pointed end. Some kinds of
linen have flat threads. but cotton is
frequently finished in an imitation of
flat thread linen.
The old test of moistening the fin
ger and placing it under the cloth is
not sure one, as the moisture will
not come through heavy linen, and
t will come through thin, sheer,
tightly twisted cotton. A drop of olive
oil placed on the cloth and held be-
tween two blotting papers will turn al
most transparent if the material is lin
en-.
Aduiteration Of Wool.
Wool is one thing that manufactur-
ers are pretty we'll able to adulterate
to their own satisfaction, owing to it's
felting properties <
The most reliable tests for mixture
Of cotton and wool are chemical or
microscopical ones, but this is not
kinks" and the ends OF the threads
are stiff and look like wire. Wool
burns slowly, chars to crisp ash and
will go out readily, while cotton burns
quickly, has no odor and no ash and
burns quite readily.
Keeling silk is much better than
spun silk. Because silk has an ability
70 absorb dyes and natalie salts, and
because these salts and dyes are
cheaper than silk, they are sometimes
used to initiate silks. They, however,
will not burn, and silk burns leaving
little ash. If the sample of the loaded
silks is burned, therefore, it will leave
an ash that, If undisturbed, will be
about the same figure as the sample,
while the pure silk will have little or
no ash.
On the other hand, after the best
of the materials have been ascertained
and chosen from, there remains ne
cessity of getting the best materials in
