Sen. WATSON STARTS
TRUTH IN FABRIC BILL
HEARING WEDNESDAY

WASHINGTON, June SENATOR
Watson, of Indiana. as chairman of a
subcommittee Of the senate interstate
commerce committee. Wednesday was
to start a hearing on the truth in
fabric" bill sponsored by Senator
Capper of Kansas and Representative
French Of Idaho. 1t is bill reQuir-
ing the marking of cloth so that pur-
chasers may know whether 1t has
been made fan virgin wool or shoddy.
The measure has the backing of a
large number of farm organizations
and wool growers and has drawn the
fire of wooden manufacturers. Several
farm bureaus of Indiana have shown
an interest in the measure. The Black
ford county farm bureau and other
similar organizations of Indiana have
written letters here, urging favorable
consideration of the bill. Another in
dorser is the National Association of
Dyers and Cleaners, of which ]. F.
Ermisch, of Terre Haute, is treasurer.
Senator Capper and Alexander w.
Walker, of the National Wool and
Sheep Growers bureau, will be the
first witnesses before the committee.
Works Injustice.
The people are entitled to know
what they buy, and this measure simp,
ly requires an honest marking of
the goods" said Senator Capper. "A
wrong is imposed upon the people
by the substitution of shoddy for vir-
gin wool, under the misunderstood
term of all wool or pure wool which
the people understand to mean virgin
or unused wool, but which oftentimes
includes all grades of shoddy. This
counterfeiting of virgin wool also re-
suits in injustice to the wool grower
and will, if continued, eventually de-
stroy sheep husbandry, an essential
industry. The marking of the cloth
simply would give the people knowl,
edge of what they are buying. We
have a pure food law. and experience
is teaching us that the need for a pure

ALL WRONG ON old AGE
PROBLEM, SAYS SCIENTIST
Study Of Subject Has Started
From the Wrong End, Ac-
cording to Rocasolano.

Everybody hitherto has gone wrong
in investigating the problem Of old age
and decay because the study of the
subject has started from the wrong
end, according to a Spanish scientist,
A. de Gregorio Rocasolano.
He says scientists began by inyesti-
eating old age in man and in the
higher organisms, which might be
compared to the study Of mathematics,
beginning with the 'differential calcu-
lus ~
He argued that at present it was
possible to study scientifically the adj
vent Of old age and the conclusion
would be reached that there is nc So
luton of continuity between inert
matter and live matter. Modern bio
logical investigations proved, he said,
that form was not the base Of life.
The cells, he declared, are ~heterogene-
Gus chemical systems, which are not
the living form, but live matter. In
the same way as the atom is the small
est possible a which can enter into
chemical combinations, the cell is the
smallest possible quantity of live mat
ter that can be identified, but is itself
composed of living units. He conclud-
ed the difference between dead and
live matter is not chemical. but
physico-chemica1.

er of Headgear.

The screams Of q woman in the
New York Central waiting room at
POughkeepsie, n. Y. brought waiting
travellers from their seats to see a
woman clawing the air and striking
wildly at a cat on her shoulders.
The oma had a large bird upon
her hat. AS she sat in earnest con-
versation with another oma she
moved her head constantly. The seats
are high backed, and from the rear
all that could be cen was the bird.
A a sat doing in the station. All
at once it spied the bird and it's tail
began to wave back and forth as it
cr0uched and watched it. Passengers
who saw sat quietly and smiled, not
dreaming that the cat would spring.
Suddenly it sprang and landed upon
the hat and the bird.
The woman's screams brought a
lineman, who pulled the cat away. The
hat and the bird, however, were de-
molished and the woman was forced
to take her headgear off, put it in a
suitcase and travel the rest of the
way bareheaded.

GREAT ARMY OF WORKERS
Uncle Sam Employed One Person in
Every 159 in Country.

One person out of every 159 in the
United States was on the government
payroll last July, according to the an
nual report of the civil service COM
mission.
The total number of civil service
employees last July, the commission
announced, was 691,116, and the gov
eminent a using them in 1,700 diff
ferent kinds and grades of work.
There were nearly 100000 govern
ment employees at the height of the
World war, the commission said, and
added that before the wal figures Of
100000 employees, in 1916, probably
never again will be reached.
A tabulation of the great army of
government workers fixes the average
age at 2S.4 years and the average
salary at S1,176 a year, exclusive of
the $240 annual bonus.

COURT DECIDES GIRL
MAY keep PRESENTS
Youthful Swain Is Loser in Pe-
cuIiar Suit Brought in
Milwaukee.

Famous pearls of history never
started anything more potential than
the pearls-value $15-Theresa Poet
eel, 779 Thirty-ffth street, Milwaukee,
got for a Christmas present from Ro-
man Engel.
For in civil court on Friday they
led Judge Blenski to decide that gifts
is gifts" and that Theresa might keep
the necklace, despite the fact that,
nov that friendship between her erst-
while sutton and herself had ended, he
sought their return.
Roman, youth of twenty years, as
serted that eighteen-year-old Theresa
had promised to be his some day and
that the pearls and a wrist watch
which depleted his purse $32 worth
were given with the understanding
that should the engagement be called
Off, the presents might be called in.
"Did 1 love that girl, your honor?
I loved her enough to give up my
vacation so I could give her money
to enjoy hers" he said, %attesting to
the economical strain in Theresa by
stating that she returned So of the SIS
at the end Of q two weeks vacation.
But Theresa told the court with
flashing eyes that she wasn't and
never had been engaged to Roman.
Their mothers were friends, she said,
and so were she and Roman. The
pearls were a Christmas present, the
watch a birthday present, then why
shouldn't she keep them, even if At
torney Leo Slensby did try to point
out the futilty of seeking to derive
pleasure from feeling the clasp of a
rejected %suitor's jewelry about ones
neck and wrist?
"And I didn't love him and don't"
testified Theresa.
AS an equal division of estate at the
end of the youthful romance, Judge
B1enski decided that Roman might
keep all the love letters.
