Col Nc BACK TO THE OLD HOME.
I'll was a grand trophy that Wood
row. Wilson brought back to lay at
the fleet of his mother town, Staun-
toni Va. But perhaps while he was
carIng around all the laurel wreaths
andl shiny badges that the voters and
oth}rs have bestowed on him, he did
notI feel nearly so biggity as some
of the rest of us Oh returning to a
boybood home.
There is an element of triumph in
returning to the place that raised you
if four life has been even passably
sucE essful. For if you Left at any
period after infancy, you were Away,
deprecated. No prophet is without
alWia lays an element Of envy. Village
wise men and boyhood associates al
wats hate to admit that anyone who
has had the same advantages that the
had could ever outstrip them.
Il is very different when you re-
turL. No matter if it is a small share
of The worlds crowns or plumber that
yoI have been able to grasp, you
sed m a pretty big man to the stay
at homes. The element of jealousy
is removed, since they are able to
say to themselves, that if they had
hat your chance, they would have
dote as well or better.
Even if the former country bump
kid with you went to school does call
yok Eddie" or f'Tommie," don't steI
tod high nor snub him too sharply.
The simple names of boyhood ought
to have a clink like the old oaken
bueket, after you have been separat-
ed by your associates by the formal
halh dle of Mister
There is something rather fine a.

fl9ences that created you. Was it
mob President Garfield who on TAX
ins the inaugural oath turned to kiss
hik mother? Similarly it is a gra-
ci4us act of the president-elect to give
due honor to civic parentage.
To the boys who are going out
from this town to-day, or who have
go.ne out in past years, it may well
bet remarked, Don't forget, if you win
hdInors or wealth in the big world out
side, that a large share Of the sue

CONGRESSMAN TAVENNER'S
LETTER FROM WASHING TON
[sy Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner I
Signed

WASHINGTON, July do we
need pure cloth law? For four years
Walter 5. Lewis, government expert
IN the bureau of standards in Wash
ington, has been doing nothing else
than testing fabrics under the micro
scope and with chemicals. His dis
coveries are just becoming known. but
they tell an amazing story of fraud
and deception being practiced upon the
American public by INSCRIPTIONS man
ufacturers.
Substitutions and adulterations have
become so common in recent years
that it is now practically impossible
to buy purity in certain fabrics at any
price. 1t is doubtful if fraud in food
products before the passage Of the pure
food law We're ever carried on to the
extent with which il is now practiced
in the manufacture Of cloth.
Take silk, for instance. Silk is COM
ing into more and more common use
among the people Lewis has made IN
exhaustive study of silk, and he uses
| the word "invariably' to describe to
what extent silk cloths are adulteratel.
Years ago only pure silk was sold, and
| almost every humble family had one
| piece Of silk which had been handed
Gown from the mother or grandmother,
but was still in good condition. To
| day pure silksCan be secured only by
! extraordinary methods, such as by or !
derinS it directly from the manufaG-
| turer a method out Of the question
for any but the rich.
Silk adulteration is of two sor! 5,
either thin silk is weighted or loaded
with tin by a chemical process, or the
silk is entirly artificial. Lewis's in
vestigaliOnS nave shown that ordinary
silk is loaded from so per cent to 300
per cent, while silk loaded COO per
cent has been found.
III weighted SILK the pure flber IS
incrusted with salt of tin, causing the
threads to become stiff and brittle 50
that they break easily at the seams
and folds. This accounts for the rapid
wearing out Of silk skirts. Indeed.
modern adulterated silk is highly adapt
ed to the rapidly changing women's
styles, for piece Of weighted silk or
| dinarily wears out in one season.
Artificial silk is the product of 3
