The Daily Story
THE YELLOW sAMPAN-BY CLARIssA MACKIE.
COPYRIGHTED. 1913. by Associated Liter ary Bureau.

1t had been hot day in Shanghai,
and down at the end of the public
wharf faint breeze crept up from the
mouth of the river. Harry Ames paus-
ed idly for moment before entering
his motorboat, bobbing lazily at the
foot of the steps. He was watching
the progress of small yellow sampan
hurriedly threading the maze of other
water craft along the water front.
The brawny, amber skinned boatman
poled the small covered craft dexter
ously in and out. closely shaving 9TH
er sampans and leaving IN his wake a
staccato chorus of abusive shrieks at
his recklessness. Soon it had passed
beyond the crowded portion of the
river and was headed upstream toward
the ancient native city.
I've seen that yellow skinned giant
before. by Jove! He certainly resem-
bled Wang Tao, Galbraith's runaway
comprador! Mr. Galbraith said he had
found clew to his whereabouts and
lost it again. Fancy fat faced limo
cent like Wang Tao running off with
10000 Mexican dollars! Some loadr'

steps and pulled the boat toward him.

been going on for 20 years hate
brought about substantial agreement.
The differences that now present
themselves are few and should be over

the question with proper motives.
Emphasizing these things, the pres

which party caucuses are not com

Take silk, for instance. Silk is
coming into more and more common

made an exhaustive study of silk and
he uses the word Invariably to de-
scribe to what extent silk cloths are
adulterated. Years ago only pure silk
was sold, and almost every humble
family had one piece of silk which had
been handed down from the mother
or grandmother, but was still in good
condition. Today pure silk can be Sc
cured only by extraordinary methods,
such as by ordering it directly from
the manufacturer, a method out OF
question for any but the rich.
Silk adulteration is'of two sorts. Eth
er thin silk it weighted or loaded with
tin by a chemical process, or the silk
is entirely artificial. Lewis investi
cations have shown that ordinary

Capital Comment
BY CLYDE q. TAvENNER
= CONGRESSMAN from the Fourteenth District.

silk is loaded from so per cent TO 800
per cent, while silk loaded 500 per
cent has been found.
In weighted silk the pure fibre is
incrusted with salt of tin, causing the
threads to become stiff and brittle so
that they break easily at the seams
and folds. This accounts for rapid
wearing out of silk skirts. Indeed,
modern adulterated silk is highly
adapted to the rapidly changing WON
ems styles for a piece of weighted silk
ordinarily wears out in one season.
Artificial silk is the product of
new industrial process whereby wood
pulp is changed into a silk-like fibre
which is more. lustrous and beautiful
than genuine silk in many respects.
The pulp is converted into a gelatine
which is spun into thread by being
forced through tiny tubes. The sticky
thread passes Immediately into So
luton which ilardens it. 1t is then
dried and wound on bobbins.
Ordinarily artificial silk will not
stand washing, so it is used in the
manufacture of neckties and curtains.
Artificial silk can be an honest prod
uct. 1t is very cheap and ought to
have wide use. But in the absence of
a pure fabric it is being sold as silk
at silk prices, and the public is being
Gefrauded.
Silk, however, is only one of the
many fabrics which is adulterated.
A new process of merceriSing and
dyeing cotton a saffron hue makes ii
so nearly like linen that only an ex
pert can tell the difference. Cotton
fibre is now given a kink and oily
| feeling by a manufacturing process
which names it a substitute for wool.
Shoddy is now being so skilfully
blended with new fleece wool in weav
ing that even laboratory tests cannot
detect it.
These are some of the more com
mon frauds being practiced with i'm
munity on the helpless public. The
solution is a pure cloth law. The Law
should not discourage the reclaim
ing of used wool or the manufacture
of artificial products. But when tn;
consumer pays the price of genuine
article he should be protected by ;
label from substitutions and adultera
tions.

AN .ANEcDOTE OF M'KINLEY.
His Gentle Rebuke to Department
Chiefs Subordinate.


President Mckinley's scTupulous 10y
atty TO his cabinet officers is spoken Of
as one of his characteristics. 1t is said
that he never went over the heads Of
his secretaries TO consult an assistant,
but held each to responsibility for his
department.
OF all the events of his administra-
ton probably none was a source of
more anxiety to him than the decision
Of the supreme court Oh the status of
the colonies 1t was u matter of great
moment whether the highest judicial
body should uphold the view of the
administration that the constitution
sanctioned the possession of colonies
which were not granted full represent
tation. There were conflicting rumorS
and forecasts of the color of the deci-
sion, and these added TO the tension
felt at Washington. Shortly before
the announcement of the finding of the
court q subordinate officer of one Of
the departments appeared at the White
House at an unusual hour and insisted
upon seeing the president on the plea
of important business. Having been
admitted. he came at once to his err
rand.
Mr.. President, 1 have some good
news for you. have just learned au-
thoritatiyely that the decision of ths
supreme court is to be in your favor"
He fairly glowed with the Importance
Of his welcome message.

quietly. THAT is good news. But

ought to be the first to know it."
