ROPE in SUNDAY CLOTHES
Fibers Sometimes Get There From
Irvine Around the Wool, Despite
Every %Preeautlon.

People who have had the expert
ence of pulling fbers of rope out
Of their Sunday clothes will prob
ably be relieved to know that the
cloth maker was not trying to spread
his wool over an unreasonably large
territory by the addition of iute or
hemp. The fact is that the bits got
into the wool when the wool was
bundled up and came from the iute
or sisal Irvine with which it was
tied.
Some Of the lbers of Irvine made
of jute or sisal become loose and de-
tached from the parent body during
shipment and work their way into
the wool. The manufacturers find
it impossible to get these odd ibers
out of the wool in the securing pro-
cess, and the result is that they go
through the carding or combing ma
chimes, are spun into yarn or thread,
get into the material for ones
clothes, and not until that point is
reached begin to work their way out
Of the cloth. If they are plainly Wis
ible on the surface of the cloth of
course they can be removed at once,
out sometimes they are SO deeply
embedded in the fabric that it takes
A long time for them to come to the
surface. Then it looks as if the spin
ner had expanded his supply of wool
BY using hemp.
For this reason twine made Of pa
per is being manufactured for wool
growers to tie up their product. This
twine is just as strong as the old
kinds, has a perfectly smooth sur
face, thus offering no opportunity
for loose bits to break off and be-
come embedded in the wool is light
in weight and is cheaper in addition.
