teration Of Fabrics.

There Is such great variety OF
fabrics on the market now, and most
OF us understand so little nbout how
they are made. that It Is hard to know
which ones win give the hest value for
the money. Our grandfnthers used to
buy pure virgin wool. but new
processes have been devised which uti-
llze shoddy along with the wool In such
a way that the goods are sometimes
hnndsomer and more durable than the
old kinds. Linen has gone up so In
price that many of us cannot AFFORD u
and must content ourselves with cot
ton or cotton-and-linen mixtures
A microscope is the most accurate
means of distinguishing cotton and
linen threads. Cotton fibers, under the
microscope. have a ribbon-like appear
nncc with frequent twists. and broad
fiat central canal linen flbers are
round, jolnted and header than cot
ton.
II 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 cxpe-
rience, enables one to distinguish he
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 wenves In gen.
eral nre more difficult to tear than cot
ton. The torn ends Of the linen
threads appear uneven In length. and
the individual fibers Of the threads are
parallel; while the torn ends Of the
cotton threads. are more even In
length, and the individual fibers are
twisted In every direction. The sound
OF tearing linen Is shrill. aud that OF
cotton dull or mufiled.
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. while the linen will be pointed.
An easy way Of distinguishing be-
tween the highly sized and calendered
cotton damask and true linen dnmask
Is TO boil a sample. After being dried
and ironed. II II Ia cotton, II will have
dull and somewhat fuzzy appearance
while the luster and smoothness oI
real linen will not be affected by the
treatment. Mercerized cotton damash
keeps more luster than untrented cot
ton. but less than linen.

possible to get the texture and finish
required for some Of the best grade
goods without the use OF some shOddy.
As sh0ddy Is mnde from wool fiber II
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 alknlies.
Detecting Over-Weighted Silk.
When the gum is removed from silk
produced by silk worm. the silk
loses from 20 to 30 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. II no lnrger an
amount than that of the weight Of the
gum boiled OF Is added, Il is considered
legitimate; but much silk II made
which has as high as from three to
-four times as much mineral mntter
added tU II as Its original weight. This
makes the silk brittle and weak. 80
that Il wears out quickly. II Is easy
to determine heavily weighted material
by burning n small sample. Pure silk
burns rapidly, smells like wool and
produces small amount Of brittle
curled-up ash. Material which Ia
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. II Is easy to detect cotton
In silk by the microscope as the fibers
Of silk nre round and smooth, while
the cotton fibers are ribbon-llke and
fuzzy.

Agriculture in Canada has reached a
high standard, Notwithstanding which
lands are low in price.
Thus upon the United States and
Canada for many years will rest the
great burden Of feeding the world.
With free interchange Of travel, diff
cultles Of crossing and recrossing re-
moved, Canada may look for a speedy
resumption Of the large influx Of set
tiers from the United States which pre-
vailed previous to the war. During
the war period there was dread Of
something. no one seemed to know
what: IL the American went to Canada
he might be conscrIpted, Put in prison,
or In his attempt to cross the border he
WI uld meet with innumerable difficult
ties, most of which, Of course, was un-
true. These untruths were circulated
for purpose by an element. which, 1t
was discovered, had an interest in TO-
menting and creating trouble anu dis
trust between two peoples whose Ian
guage and aims In life should be any
thing but Of an unfriendly character.
The draft law of the United States
adopted for the carrying out of the
high purposes had in view by the Unit
ed States kept many from going to
Canada during the period Of the war.
The citizen army Of the United States
was quickly mobllized. and contained
large percentage Of the young men
from the farms. In this way many
were prevented from going to Canada.
That Is all over now. There are no
real or imaginary restrictions; there is
no drift law to interfere. On the con-
trary there is an unfathomable depth
of good feeling, and the long existing
friendship is stronger than ever. This
has been brought about by the knowl-
edge Of what has been done In the re-
cent great struggle, each vying with

accomp she'd. In thought and feeling,

limit to any person is one quart, but
less may be prescribed
The blanks were sent ont to the

Parliament Session May Be

Situation.
LONDON UNDERGROUND

rel at Amy Cost, Says
Premier

London, Sept. 27-The MN &stly
of transportation shortly after 3
O'clock this afternoon announced
that parliament may be called into
railroads was virtually complete.
The announcement said that no dis
turbance had been reported.
1t was admitted this afternoon
hat parliament may be called into
extraordinary session on account Of
the strike, which went INTO effect
Friday at midnight.
The decision of the underground
motormen's union last night to sup
port the national union of railway
mems strike caused a complete tie
up of the railways here today.
Thousands of persons could not be
Accommodated by the inadequate bus
and tram services and were obliged
to walk to work. Many resorted to
bicycles and even to roller skates.
The government having failed in
it's negotiations with the union to
adjust the situation, is said to be
prepared to operate the railroads
with armed forces if necessary, but
its definite program for meeting the
condition before the country was
not yet developed. 1t issued orders
placing all England under wartime
regime so far as food and fuel is
concerned, and it was stated yester-
day, the mails would be carried by
arplane.
Thus far the employees of the Irish
railroad have not struck.
One of the most disquieting fea-
lures of the situation is the possibi
lily that the miners and transport
workers. who, with the railway men,
from what is known as the triple
alliance" also may strike. This
would bring a tremendous addition
to the ranks of the strikers and still
further complicate an already ser
ious crisis in the labor world Of
England.
The chief danger of trouble is
pointed to as the hostility Of the la
Dor interests to the use of the mill
tary organizations in any form for
strikes.
