WHY THE SOLDIER is SORE"

(lSCONIENI among American soldiers who
- served overseas is rather state Of mind
than resentment against their neglect or mis-
treatment by their country or its representatives,
civil or military. That, at least, is one diagnosis
of this prevalent dissatisfaction of which there
is so much talk but so few concrete examples.
The explanation is offered by the Veteran, an
organ of the American Legion.
The cause of this "soreness," according to
the Veteran, is that che went bithely away
with a great enthusiasm for the cause" and
instead of a thrilling adventure as he had eX-
pected, he found that going to war was one
continuous grind of hard work. Instead Of
finding himself in position where personal
thrill and glory filled his entire horizon, he
found that he was but an obscure cog in a stu
pendous machine and that he played a very
monotonous part
The soldier bore all this with fortitude so
long as the great task to be accomplished was
ahead Of him, the Veteran points out. The Job
was an inspiration and an offset to any kind
of drudgery. But when the armistce was
signed this stimulus ceased, and was replaced
by the yearning to return to home and family.
But there was still need for him in France and
the occupied parts of Germany. He must re-
main yet awhile in camp and under discipline.
The tedium and the fret of it all depressed him
and soured him. Then came restiveness, and
faultfinding.
ut was natural. Nobody who understands
them (the solders) can blame them," says the
Veteran. But nobody who understands the
process Of the human mind worries about this
attitude. 1t is a saving quality of the memory
that experiences that are pleasant remain and
that those that have been disagreeable grad
ualy fade away. SO that year hence every
mothers son Of them will be as happy as
crckets."

1t was almost dark when company
of doughboys entered a town that had
just been evacuated by the retreating
Germans. Private Stevenson began
searching for place where he might

white sheets, white piliOwcases and a
fireplace. "Och-Ia-la :" he said, and be-
gan taking off his shoes.
few minutes later a woman en-
tered. She explained that a German
count had occupied the room for a
number of weeks, and said that at that
very moment there was reposing I'M
der the bed n trunkful of fine linen
and nightgowns which the count might
seturn for at any time.
That night Private Stevenson slept
in soft wooden nightgown, and for
many days afterward he was doing his
best to square matters with his first
sergeant because of being late for
reveille the following morning.

Different ways
TO TEST FiBERS

Office of Home Economics Of Depart
ment of Agriculture Gives Prac-
teal Methods of Test for Adult
teration of Fabrics.

There is such a great variety of
fabrics on the market now, and most
of us understand so little about how
which ones will give the best value for
the money. Our grandfathers used to
buy pure virgin wool, but new
processes have been devised which uti-
lie shoddy along with the wool in such
a way that the goods are sometimes
handsomer and more durable than the
old kinds. Linen has gone up so in
price that many of us cannot afford it
and must content ourselves with cot
ton or cotton-and-iinen mixtures.
A microscope is the most accurate
means of distinguishing cotton and
linen threads. Cotton fbers, under the
ance with frequent twists, and a broad
fiat central canal; linen fibers are
round, jointed and heavier than cot
ton.
If the fabric is without starch, oil
makes linen translucent and cotton
Opaque The finish must be washed
out of highly finished materials before
the test can be used. A comparatively
simple test which, after some expe-
rience, enables one to distinguish be-
tween linen and cotton is called the
tearing" test. One must be an expert
to detect cotton and linen mixtures in
this way. The linen weaves in gen.
eral are more difficult to tear than cot
ton. The torn ends of the linen
threads appear uneven in length. and
the individual fiDers Of the threads are
parallel; while the torn ends OF the
cotton threads are more even in
length, and the individual f1bers are
twisted in every direction. The sound
of tearing linen is shrill, and that OF
cotton dull or muff1ed.
Another simple test is to light the
threads with a match. blow out the
flame and examine the burnt ends.
The cotton threads will have blunt
ends, wklle the linen will be pointed.

| An easy way of distinguishing be-
| tween the highly sized and calendered-
cotton damaSk and true linen damask
| is to boil a sample. After being dried
and ironed, if it is cotton it will have
a dull and somewhat fuzzy appearance,
while the luster and Smoothness of
real linen will not be affected by the
| treatment. Mercerized cotton damask
keeps more luster than untreated cot
ton, but less than linen.
Wooden and Worsted Fabrics.
Since the price of pure. new wool is
relatively high, other materials are Of
ten mixed with it, the most common
being what is termed "shoddy." This
is old wooden material, tailors' clip
pings, ETC., put through a special
machine which tears them apart and
reduces them to fibers. Such goods
have many uses. 1t is stated by
wooden manufacturers that the best
grade of worsted shoddy, which is of
long staple, i. e., has long fibers, is
superior to the low grade, short staple,
new or virgin wool; also that it is Inn
possible to get the texture and finish
required for some of the best grade
AS shoddy is made from wool fiber it
gives the same chemical tests as pure
wool, and small amounts are almost
impossible to detect, except by the use
of the microscope.
Cotton is also used with wool. Such
goods have many uses. 1t is a simple
matter to detect the presence of cot
ton as wool is dissolved in alkalieS
and not affected by acids, while cotton
is dissolved by acids and not affected
by alkalies.
Detecting Over-Weighted Silk.
When the gum is removed from silk
produced by a silk worm, the silk
loses from 20 to so per cent of its
original weight. To make up for this
loss in weight, large additions of var
lous substances which do not change
the looks. feel or structure of the silk,
are often made. If no larger an
amount than that Of the weight of the
gum boiled off is added. 1t is considered
legitimate; but much silk is made
which has as high as from three to
four times as much mineral matter
added to it as it's original weight. This
makes the silk brittle and weak, so
that 1t wears out quickly. 1t is easy
to determine heavily weighted material
by burning small sample. Pure silk
burns rapidly, smells like wool and
produces a small amount of brittle
curled-up ash. Material which is
heavily weighted will have an ash
which is stiff and which often holds
the shape Of the sample.
Cotton is frequently mixed with silk.
Such goods sold as mixtures have
many uses. 1t is easy to detect cotton
in silk by the microscope as the fbers
of silk are round and smooth, while
the cotton f1bers are ribbon-like and
fuzzy.
