pie Of the Cloth.
Until the proper labelling Of textiles
has betn made compulsory there are
certain simple tests by means Of which
one may determine whether an AL
WOO" fabric ID really all wool or not.
The old way Of telling by feeling and
looking is no longer reliable, for cotton
can be made both to feel and look Ike
wool. The only sure way Is to take
samples Of the goods home with you
and make tests Of them there. !
II q piece Of cotton cloth Is ignited \
will .'be found 70 bnrnv rather rapidly
With a bright, steady name:t There Ii
no, disagreeable odor. and when tho
material y completely consumed there
will be left only q small amount Of
light gray, fluffy ash. II piece Of
pure wool Is lighted II win be found to
burn much more slowly and with q less
steady fame. emitting characteristic,
mild, kissing noise and strong odor
very similar to that Of burned horn.
There will be much more ash remain
ing than in the case Of cotton, and 1t
will be in the form Of crinkly. black,
crisp ball.
In applying this test to fabric the
whole sample should not be burned at
once, for IL it Is a so called wool piece
containing considerable cotton it will
be very difficult to determine whether
1t Is burning more like cotton or wool.
Threads should be taken from the SAM
pie. several each from the warp and
the wool, and burned separately. With
very little practice one will be able to
detect the cotton threads by the char
acteristics manner Of burning. Some.
times 1t is well to pick thread apart
with a pin and test the individual fiber
with the fame to determine whether
the thread is entirely wool or mixed
with cotton.-Jean Donaldson Martin
in Mothers Magazine.

BRITISH LOSE TRAWLER
Vessel Sunk in North Sea
DENY Falaba Was Armed.

London, April 8.-The Grimsby traw-
Ter Zarina was blown up in the North
Sea to-day. 1t is feared that the nine
men on the trawler were either killed
by the explosion, or drowned
II is unknown whether the Zarina
was destroyed by a mine or a subma-
rine.
The Official Information Bureau is
sued a statement to-day, saying that
the British steamer Falaba. sunk at
sea March % by a German submarine
with loss Of over 100 lives, was not
armed. 1t is not true, the statement
goes on, that sufficient time WAS given
the passengers and the crew Of this
vessel to escape. The German subma-
rine gave hose on board five minutes.
While some of the boats were still on
their davits. the submarine fired tor
pedo.
This action" saws the statement,
made il absolutely certain that there
must be great loss of life, and it must
have been committed knowingly with
the intention of producing that result.

Paris, April S.-The fighting OF inc

GAINS for the French at one point IN
the Forest Of lie Pratre, east OF d.
MibieI "a much as a two-mile advance
according to an Official analysis OF

offensive still continues, as last nlgn'
at Eparges, the French made an ao'

South of this front, near the village

Press On North OF FIrey.
In the forests of both Ally and
Montmore, the latter north OF fiirey,
the French made additional gains and
resisted all efforts to dislodge them.
Following is the War Offices sum
ming I'D of the results Of the fighting
in the st. Mihiel region since April 4;
"First-On the northeast and east
fronts of Verdun we have gained on a
front of twenty kilometers taoout
twelve and one-half miles, from one 20
three kilometers; have occupied the
ntra 70 IN
the Orne River, and have carried the
villages of Gussainville and Frome1ey.
"Second-On the heights of the
Mouse. at Epsrges, we have carried al
most the whole of the strong position
held by the enemy on the plateau which
commands Co:nbres, and we retain the
ground captured in the face of numer-
Gus and very violent counter-attacks.
Part of ALLY Wood Taken.
"Third-Further 10 the south, near
st. Mihiel, We have captured the entire
southwestern portion of the Ally
wood, where the Germans were strongly
established. This they have been un-
able to retake, despite repeated counter
attacks.
"Fourth-In Southern Woevre, be-
tween the forest Of Montmare and the
forest Of lie Pretre, we have gained
on a front of seven to eight kilometers
a distance Of three kilometres Cnearly
two miles,, and have taken from the
enemy the villages Of Fey-en-Haye and
Reenieville. (fhe capture of these
villages already has been recorded in
both the French and German official
bulletins.)
"At all these points the Germans
suffered heavy losses, as can be esti-
mated from the number Of bodies found
at Eparges."

London, April s.-Reports OF fresh

of Hollands entering the conflict on

The Minister Of The Netherlands in
London, when questioned, said he had

One of the reports was TO the ehec,
that Germany had seized a strip OF
