) AII-Russians Plan Lottery to
Raise New Money for Old

Omsk, Now 2-(By The Asso-
ciated Press.)-A nationwide lottery
is feature of a new plan devised
by the finance ministry OF the all
Russian government to effect the
retirement of the present currency
and the substitution for 1t of bills
printed in the United States. The
idea was given a trial last Sunday,
with results gratifying to its
sponsors.
It is proposed, subject to the
sanction OF the council OF ministers,
TO develop the idea into a lottery
loan OF 100 g0.0 900 rables, the prizes
and intefssr 70 be paid in the new
bank notes, the old notes being re-
tired.
Regarding the new currency,
there are 1000. 600 600 rubles in the
new American-printed notes, pur-
chased under a contract made by
Kerensky during his premiership,
and which require counter signing
to meet the new conditions. The
s notes are now in the process of be-
ing signed. 1t is proposed to circu-
late these notes about November l
and afterward gradually retire the
present currency, while issuing an
additional 8,000000,000 OF the new
notes to be received from the
United States.

PROPOSE Law TO
DEMAND MARKING
OF WOOL FABRIC
Would Require Manufacturers
to Designate Percentage
Of Virgin Wool in Fab
ric on SeIvige.

Washington, Nov. 2-(Special. y
Western wool growers will be in
terested in a movement here to en-
act pure fabric legislation designed
in the interest of the public and
wool growers alike, and with view
of curtailing the immense profits
now being paid to manufacturers
for shoddy. @
The proposed legislation is ex-
pected to follow the pure food law
in requiring manufacturers to plain
ly mark all wooden goods with the
percentage of virgin wool used in
the fabric.
Such legislation, proposed sever
al years ago, was defeated because,
at that time, no known method ex-
listed for marking wooden fabrics;
this has now been overcome, so that
on the selvige may be printed the
required information for the, pro-
lection of the public.
Shoddy Is Revoked Wool.
The public generally does not
realize that, in suits sold IS all wool,
there is very little virgin wool, the
greater part being shoddy. Shoddy
is wool, Of course, but it is wool
that has been reworked and conse-
quently weakened by the process
of reconstruction.
Shoddy is still wool, although 1t
may have been worked over half
dozen or more times. 1t is worked,
and reworked, until the fiber is so
broken that in cannot be woven; it
is then used for felt materials, and
when too short for such use is
ground into paint materials.
The pure fabric law is not des-
igned to prevent the use of shoddy,
for that would be impossible. Sta
tistics show that if only virgin wool
were used, there would be but IA
ounces for each person living out
side of the tropics.
The object of the law would be to
inform the purchaser as to the per-
centage of shoddy, SO that he could
not be imposed upon with clothes
sold as pure WOOL" by which he
would be led to believe he was
buying virgin wool, when as a mat
ter OF fact, the cloth might be 90
per cent shoddy.
Buyer Is Often Deceived.
Virgin wool will wear for a long
time, where shoddy will show de-
fects in a short time, and the great
er the percentage of shoddy, or the
number of times the shoddy has
been worked, determines its wear
ing qualities.
Those behind the pure fabric law
contend that shoddy should not be
sold as wool, even if technically cor.
rect. In effect the buyer is de.
ceived, if not actually swindled
This charge will not lie against the
retailer, for he must trust to the
statement of the manufacturer, ant
is as helpless as the public.
L 1t is assumed that the retailer !;
as anxious as anybody to be ablt
to know just what he is selling
The exorbaut prices at which vas
Quantities of shoddy clothes ar
fsold, can only be obtained becaus
the public believes it is buying pet
feet wool.
| Making it compulsory to distin
guish wool and shoddy wool clothe'
would protect the public, would en-
able the consumer to>Suard agains
paying virgin wool prices for shod
dy wool clothes, and enable thos'
who resire to buy virgin woo
clothing to do so.
