that immigrants show, on landing, a

that they possess at least one OF the

their jobs right through the summer

Pittsburgh Dispatch: The enthus-
iastic reports say that the jewels dis
played at the Stuyvesant Fish party
amounted in value to $4,000, 900.
With that convincing total of preci-
Gus stones and convertible assets, OF
course the evidence of intellectual de,

a negligible factor.
Baltimore American: It is one of
the most important and pressing
duties of modern civilization in towns

Der CT people are gathered for any
specific purpose. The resources OF
the age are equal to providing facilities
for safety, and such horrible holo-
causts as now and then shock human
lily, ought to be barely within range OF
possibility instead of being as now
not only possible, but also probable.

When "siIk. is Not All SILK.

yfSU DIN 10 ISOt All DIX.
Thousands OF women have discov-
cred to their sorrow that their silk
skirts had chacked along the folds
while the garments were yet practic-
ally new But out of these thousands
of women probably not score of
them knew that the real reason for
this was that they were wearing more
of tin skirt than silk one In otn-
er words, their handsome, soft, rust
ling silk garments with the rich
sheen were made up OF about 60 to
70 per cent tin, and the remainder
pure silk, or pure silk except for an
ounce or two to the pound of color
ing matter, says the Louisville Her
aid.
The woman who walks along the
street In a handsome silk gown that
rustles softly does not know that
every IL ounces Of silk, pure silk, in
her dress, has been SO weighted with
pure tin that this original IL ounces
Is made to weigh so or 70 ounces and
there are instances, according to the
best OF authorities, where IL ounces
OF pure silk is made to weigh as mucn
as 80 ounces.
There is simple method OF finding
out whether piece OF silk goods has
been adulterated or weighted, as the
manufacturers call 1t, with tin, and
that Is to cut off sma1s sample and
burn It. Pure silk is animal matter,
just as feathers or hair, made. as
every one knows, by silk worm. Now
II pure silk is burned 1t will instantly
curl up into a crisp mass, just as a
burnt hair or feather will do. But II
the silk goods has been adufterated
with from so to rs per cent Of tin 1t
will not do this. 1t will leave an ash
in the semblance of the fabric, much
as a burned piece OF newspaper will
leave an ash that still shows the
printing. The harder and more firm
this ash the more tin there was in
the silk. Silk manufacturers claim
that competition is SO great they can
not afford to produce pure silk goods.
They admit they do produce some. but
IT is so expensive only those with
plenty of money can afford to buy 1t.
The pure silk goods, such as were
manufactured at the time our grand
mothers and great-grandmothers
made their wedding dresses wore
without any signs of splitting or
CRACKING In the seams. This was be-
cause 1t was pure silk. with no for
eign matter In the goods.
The great injustice OF weighing
silk With tin is that there Is nothing
to inform the public OF this. Poor
women can afford to buy silk because
some of 1t is SO cheap, but 1t very
soon wears out. and SO they are real
ly worse off than before. II has been
proposed that the manufacturers be
made to label all their silks with such
explanations as the following;
