Cloth Tester Invented.

When high-priced clothes wear out
quickly the buyer must have been
'stung," said the bureau Of standards
in a recent Washington dispatch to
the Baltimore American.
The bureau has perfected device
by which the buyer of suit Of clothes
can tell accurately the reason why.
The new invention. worked out by
a minor employee Of the bureau, may
In the future be manufactured so
cheaply that every home Can possess
one and be used as sure guide In
the purchase of clothing Of all grades.
What the device does Is to tell be-
yond all doubt the thread count, fiber
strength and thread width and prob
able "life" Of particular kind Of cloth
that may be given a test. 1t also de
termines the power Of resistance ia
wear Of which piece Of cloth may
be capable.

Curious, is because so many ice cream

serves Arthur ii. Folwell In Leslle's,
Millions OF gallons Of cream are bought
each and every evening by young men
out with "the girl" What chance Is
there that they will start buyers
strike? Buyers strikes are for pinched
and desperate married folk, and have
to do with such prosy, unromantic
commodities as clothes and canned to-
matoes. The crafty makers Of Ice
cream know that all limits are of
when young man and his particular
queen Of Sheba step into palace of
frosty sweets. The young mans fear
of being thought "tightwad" or a
pill" Is the ice cream dealers best bet
that prices won't come down to pre-
war levels. Not at least for several
whiles. Indeed, the Ice cream man Ia
thinking seriously Of not dropping
them at all, but of making his war
prices do for two wars-the last one
and the next one.
