Farmer Russell picked the boy up

However much he wept, he was

apple butter and cookies and jam for

father would be terrible mad" There
was some delay in getting the team of
six horses as they could spare but
five, and Farmer Russell said he be-
lieyed he would wait fo- an hour or

friend TO have some more preserves.

There is no use denying that women
in general have been sensitive in the
matter of their age. Much interest has
been aroused by the report coming
from Kansas that large numbers of
women there have refused to register
for participation in the statewide
primaries because required to tell their
exact age. There are other occasions
of more practical significance than vot-
ing, where a woman has to tell her
age. For example, in getting out a

MUSEUM IS SHOWING
ASBESTOS MANUFACTURE
Process of Obtaining the Mineral Is
Explained by Exhibit Now
in Place.

Some new uses of asbestos, generally
known as fire and heat proof sub
stance, are in filtration, refrigera ton
and the manufacture of paper, Christ
mas trees building material. rope, yarn
and clothing. Many of the finished
products and samples of the raw ma
terial are now exhibited in the division
of mineral technology of the older Ma
tional Museum building in this city.
Most of the asbestos mineral fihers
were Obtained from the large deposits
of asbestos found in the province OF
Ontario, Canada, which supplies prac-
tically the whole world. This sub
stance occurs in veins varying in width
from small fraction of an inch to
three and four inches. The fibers lie
across the vein, so that their length is
determined by the width of the vein,
the usual width being from one-half
to three-quarters of an inch. The rock
containing the fiber is quarried By sur
face methods much as is limestone
After being blasted down, the rock is
usually hand sorted, the material COR
tanning nbers over one inch in length
being hand-cobbed, or carded Il proc
ess which tears the fiber from the rock
The larger fibers are then packed into
one hundred pound sacks and shipped
to the market The usual price per ton
is about $500.

Fiber Is Finest.

| The minute individual fibers of she's.
tos are not even microscopic, being
finer than any other organic or inor-
ganic fiber known, thus necessitating
special machinery for spinning and
weaving.
The hand-cobbed raw material of
long fiber is used in making asbestos
gas logs, spun into yarn, twisted into
rope used by fire departments, and
woven into fireproof cloth for theater
curtains, clothing, etc. The theater
curtain manufacturing business alone
is an enormous one, more than 1000
curtains of different sizes being made
annually. The largest one of these is
that at the Hippodrome in New York.
Other theatrical uses for asbestos are
wall coverings and Innings and scenery
where municipal regulations demand
absolute fire precautions. This same
form is used with rubber coating IN
steam fitting. for valve and be ring
packing, gaskets and sheet packing, as
well as to cover mangles in steam
laundries. 1t enters into automobile
construction for general packing and
heat insulation, and as brake-shoe
lining.
All the material With fiibers less than
three -fourths of an inch in length goes
through a milling process to separate
it from the rock; first It is passed
through a crusher, which breaks II
