DECLARES ''SF1ODDY" IS USED
IN "ALL-WOOL" GARMENTS

virgin wool Is the phrase used in the
Capper bill.
Former Secretary Redfield Of the De-
partment OF Commerce, in publishes
statement said: The worlds annual
clip OF wool is sufficient to supply but
approximately one third of the annual
production of cloth" The other two
thirds of the raw materials which go
into cloth, therefore. must be substi-
tu.es for virgin wool. The Capper bill
does not in any way restrict the use
Of substitutes. 1t merely provides that
the purchaser of n suit or an overcoat
or other garment containing wool
shall be Informed exactly what the
contents may be. The bill will protect
the people in their right to choose be-
tween the genuine and the substitute.
and will protect the people against
those who would charge for tho sub
stitute" the price Of tho genuine
Wool Growers w. Rag Pfekers.
There is big field for the wool
growers in this country. 1t is said
But they cannot hope to compete with

are going to get as much for their
wares as the wool producers The
shortage of virgin wool 10 given a
reason for increasing the price OF
wool cloth and garments. and the
garments made of shoddy. worked
over wool. etc, are boosted in price
a vicious circle is completed, Senator
Capper contends.
The truth-in- fabric bill invokes the
powers given the federal government
to control interstate commerce. II
provides that every manufacturer OF
woven fabrics purporting to contain
wool and of garments also containing
wool must see that they are stamped
SO as to show just what they are
made of whether virgin wool,
shoddy. cotton or silk, or a cembina-
tion thereof. Makers of wool yarns
also must file statements with pur-
chasers showing what the yarns con-
tain. Violations of these provisions
are to be punished by fine and inn
prisonment The Importation of goods
containing wool without being stamp
ed in accordance with the proposed
law also will be punished. -
The Secretary of the Treasury. the
Secretary OF Agriculture and the Sec
retary Of Commerce are directed to
make the rules and regulations neces-
sary to carry out the provisions e

Since Mr.. Palmer took Office as
Attorney General in Washington
almost a year ago things have been
moving. / had occasion to call on
him not long after he had moved
into the Department of Justice and
asked him what he was going to do
about the reds" His reply was
that he intended to handle them
without gloves, and that he would
recommend to Congress law with
teeth in it, to strengthen the arm
of the government in dealing with
those seeking it's overthrow. He
made the recommendation, and.
after months of delay, Congress is
finally acting.
Under the direction of the At

back to work. however. until, just
as the government was about to
try the strike leaders with the
idea of putting them in Jail, work

conferences on the part of the

Mr. Palmer is Pennsylvania
by birth and ancestry. His people
came to this country when William
Penn nosed the good ship Welcome
up the Delaware river to found his
great experiment in the woods.

his mother Caroline Albert Palmer.
His father was a bridge contractor.

later moved to Stroudsburg, in the

there he grew up. Ever since he

been called MITCHELL" until his
first name, alexander" has been
forgotten, except by few inti-
mates. He was named after Alex
ander Mitchell. at one time a presi-
dent of the Lehigh Valley railroad,
a friend of his family.
From his boyhood Mr.. Palmer
has been of studious turn of mind,
giving his time to books rather
than to games He did not go in
for athletics at school or at college

have played guard on the Yale or
