I'VE had no news Of the selections OF

said Mr. Crook. but the majority Of the

their Independence. Throughout the

Burning a Simple Test by
Which Authorizations May
Be Detected.

As silk promises to be the chosen fabric
for the coming winter il is well TO know
a little about It. This unusual demand for
silk has brought into the markets a large
quantity Of cheap silks. The manufact-
urers will always answer the demand. but
they do not always do so honestly. II We
demand cheap Silks, IL we refuse TO pay
the price for pure silk. We will get just
what we demand Unfortunately, we
often get this cheaper grade Of goods
when we believe We are buying an all
silk material.
We have to-day In this country no
Standardization of textiles. and the con-
sumner is, therefore, at the mercy Of the
manufacturers and the shops. The only
way TO guard against fraud in purchas-
ing silk is to have certain knowledge on
the subject If all women shoppers would
learn the value of the goods they are buy
ing. their concerted demand for materials
which are all they pretend 10 be would
result in a better condition In the textile
world. and would undoubtedly aid IN
bringing about the Standardization of tex
tiles which all honest manufacturers ana
merchants as Wen az lLlOu5AlluA SN''"N''A
ers are seeking.
There are all over this country stores
selling goods as all-silk which contain less
than 25 per cent Of silk. In other words
they are adulterated to the extent OF 10
per cent TO 30 per cent with tin and other
foreign substances.
one Of the simplest tests tor silk IS 70
take two or three square inches and apply
a light 10 it. Pure silk will burn quickly
and leave only tiny bit Of ash. The
adulterated samples. on the other hand
will burn very slowly, and in place OF
the ash there Will be a black or brown
substance. This substance consists Of the
chemicals which may fuse, but which do
not burn In the ordinary sense OF the
word. The most common adulterants OF
silks are tin, zinc. anthony, EPSON salts,
gum arabic, glucose, potato starch ana
magnesla. The amount of this weighing
as ID is called, varies, but nosarticle IS
pure silk which contains any Of these
constituents.
Although the price may be lower in the
