Frauds IN Wooden Trade.
Much might be written upon the
various frauds pertaining TO the trade
in wooden cloth. II properly combined
a certain amount Of cotton does not de-
tract from the durability Of the mate
rial although it gives It characteristics
different from that Of all Wool An ar
ticle containing small percentage OF
cotton has the advantage Of being less
liable to shrink than If il were made
Of all wool. On the other hand, its
warmth giving qualities are lessened,
The fraud consists in selling arucleS
as wool when they contain cotton
An honestly made fabric composed OF
good cotton and wool may be superior
to an all wool article, If the wool is OF
inferior quality. All wool shOddy OF
waste product Of wool, is not deslra-
bic material for the manufacture or
good wearing cloth, even though IL
truthfully bears the all wool label
The amount Of wool in mixed Iap-
rIc is frequently much less than Is
claimed. For example, blankets sold as
so percent wool at $3.50 or 50, when
submitted to actual test are found 10
contain only 10 or IL percent Otner
socalled halfWOOl blankets, especially
in gray or natural color, are generally
smost entirely cotton with the excep-
ton of wool shOddy used in the filling.
Using the Cancels Hair.
The differentiation between hair and
wool is hard TO define Consequently
many of the cheaper grades OF wooden
fabrics are largely adulterated with
hair Cancels hair, if of good quality
IS superior to wool but there IS little
il any all camel's hair material. on the
market. a small percentage OF camel s
hair combined with wool produces an
attractive fabric much in demand In
feriOr grades of cameIs hair are nearly
valUeless, but they are used with COW
hair calf hair and other hairs which
may be the refuse Of fur products in
the manufacture Of the very cheapest,
toughest varieties Of socalled wooden
cloths Some OF these materials are
well pressed and steamed and present
an attractive appearance when sold, but
a few days wear renders them practt-
cally valueless- Cloth of this kind is
used in the manufacture Of the cheapest
grades of clothing, particularly over
coats and outside wraps. 1t has gen
orally a warp Of inferior cotton, and
the filling consisting Of hair and the
poorest shOddy.
1t is this class OF material that gives
the average house mother grounds for
complaint. 1t is frequently sold at a
price which should command a reliable
/ combination Of cotton and wool fabric
[ There are as yet no laws regulating the
materials used in textile productions
That there should be some means Of
7 governing the amount Of wool contained
in any fabric sold as wooden cloth is
/ generally conceded
