Printing of Fabrics by
Peruvians Similar to the
Method Still BEING Used

The ancients of Peru, by a curious
coincidence-fort there could not posi-
bly, have been any intercourse with
their contemporaries in India and
Egypt-seem to have used much the
same kind of processes in printing
their designs upon the fabrics they
manufactured. Both Herodotus and
Pliny, among early historians, accord
ing to a United States commerce
report, have told us about the cloths
of vegetable fiber made by the an
clients; but in all likelihood the fab
RIGS of the Peruvians were of even q
more remote date. In some respects
the methods of today bear strong re-
semblance to the older practice. The
chief difference consists in the pat
terms now being engraved upon copper
rollers and several ,colors being print
ed at one time. Just as today the
coloring matter of dyes is not affixed
by merely printing it on the material,
but is secured by means of q sub
stance known as mordant, so did the
Peruvians make use of q property
which caused the dye to adhere and
to Withstand a test of thousands of
years wear and tear. Experts have
declared that in the direction of tech
meal and artistic value the designs
in question have no equal. They
must undoubtedly have been wholly
original, and could have owed their
INCEPTION to no outside Influences

HOW TO CLASSIFY
A SOLDIER
Hat Cord Designates Branch
of Service

A military man can Immediately tell
to what division a soldier belongs by
glancing at the cord on his hat, but
to the average citizen the color of the
hat cord denotes little or nothing. 1t
is an interesting feature to be familiar
with, especially now when so many
soldiers are seen all over the country,
and any one who takes the trouble to
learn the following list will be reward
ed by being able to satisfy his own
curiosity respecting any soldier he
happens to see without having to ask
questions:
A cord of light blue signifies that
the wearer belongs to the infantry !;
red denotes artillery; yellow, cavalry !;
buff, quartermaster's corps; red and
white, engineers corps; orange and
white, signal corps; red and black,
ordnance; black and white, field clerk !;
maroon and white, medical corps
black and gold, officers; silver and
black, adjutant generals clerk; green,
instructor home guards, and green and
white, home guards
