~ Is probable that the long sleep
 of the linen industry in America
 will be permanently broken in 1he very near future.
 This country. in the days of our fore Fathers, was a great linen country, and .as far back as the time of the war of s1S12 we produced more than 21 100000 svards of Henn, all of which was hand sBpun and hand-woven. According to Erecords of that time, flax was on every farm in the 13 original states. And as smany of us are aware, the linen was produced in the home.
 Comparing those days to ours, there 3s only one linen mill in the country in Dperatton, and it is making crash toweling from imported flax. Cotton machinery had lot to do with the ousting of the flax industry from America, because in these days it is Impossible for. handmade product to compete with a machine-made fabric. In 1880 the production of flax in the United States fell to less than 2.00O.- poo pounds.
 Methods of Antiquity.
 The most remarkable fact in con- nection with the linen industry of the world in general is that the same meth pds are in use today in practically all countries as were used in the days when the ancient pyramids were built. This method, simple and yet very hard, consists of pulling the fibre flax out of the ground by the roots, taking the seed off in a rippler and submergtng g the straw in water for many days in order to rot away the vegetable gum which binds the flax fibre to the straw. It is known as water retting.
 Not only does the process entail hard labor in the water pits and ponds, but it is disagreeable to marked degree because of the unpleasant odors caused by the decay of the vegetable matter. Another process in vogue is to spread the flax straw on the grass after it has been deseeded, subjecting it to the action of rain, sun and dew This latter process Is known as dew retting.
 Before Russia became subject to the wiles and whims of Lenine, Trotzky and the Bolshevists in general, that country produced 92 per cent O. all the flax grown in the world. It was duty of the Russian peasant to grow this flax as tax, and during certain season of the year the tax collector visited the villages and collected thu flax Bolshevism has changed all this and the outlook is that Russia vii never again produce as much or a. cheaply as in the past.

Prints Stamps Fast

Few labor-saving machines are more ingenious in combining number of operations, or more impressive in the amount of work they do, than the new
 stamp-p printing presses of the U. s. Bureau of Printing and Engraving. Each press, with two operators, moist ems, prints, gums, dries and rolls a total of 100000 postage stamps in an eight-hour day, says Popular Me chanics. The perforations are made both lengthwise and across, both the roll and the punches being adjustable for position. One operator, 1n front, takes care of the unwinding roll and

 The fibre produced under the Rob- inson process is clean and strong, and of a semi-white color, which obviates the necessity of excessive bleaching.
 There are no inorganic chemicals used in the production of the flax fibre from the flax straw, and the process in continuous operation, including drying and softening will not exceed two hours, as against 6 to 16 weeks under present process. This method of han

There are 80 many different styles
OF the crawl stroke that II is necessary
to make clear that the style used in
this country under the name Is q
double over arm stroke in which the
legs perform a narrow, alternate, con-
tinuous kick OF any even scope.
The %trudgeon crawl Is often confus-
ed with the crawl stroke because of
their similarity In appearance.
In swimming the crawl, the body
should be held as In standing upright
on tlptoe, so az TO form a stright line,
with head erect, back the least bit
arched, legs together, feet pointed.
Side Roll Essential.
A slight side to side roll Is necessary
TO allow breathing and an easy re-
coyery for the arms, but should not
be heavy.
The arms work alternately, one pro-
pelling while the other, RECEIVERS. The
arms execute a circular movement,
each arm entering the watch with ell
bows slightly raised, palms down, fin
gers and thumbs close together.
The legs should be straight, but not
rigid. They whip back and forth al
terating, closely initiating the move
ment one makes in walking on tip toe
with short steps.

Correct breathing Is necessary In
swimming the crawl, IL should be
remembered that the face Is submerg-
cd part Of the time and that the usual
method Of breathing cannot be used.
You must learn to breathe through the

TO exhale. You may learn correct
breathing at home In a basin of water.
