How to Know Good Muslin

If you could look at muslin through a
microscope, as scientist would, you
could judge the quality almost at
glance.
Coarsely woven muslin is often filled
with chalk to make it appear fine and
smooth when new. 1t looks better than
it'really is, because Of this adulteration.
But after it is Numbered it looks as thin
as cheesecloth, because the chalk washes
out.
Sometimes the chalk is added so cum
ningly that washing is the only test.
AT other times it is done so crudely
that you can make this simple test at
the counter: Rumple the muslin briskly
between your fingers the fine white
powder will fall out.
Try any test with Fruit Of the Loom.
You can see for yourself that it is muslin
of high quality. For it is all cotton. No
chalk is used.

Americans Wire Relatives.

Personal messages were received
today by the State Department from
the six Americans who were releasd
from Russia yesterday. The messages
told of the arrival OF the Americans
at Reval and contained personal mes
sages to be forwarded to the relatives
Of those released.
Some of the Americans who were
believed to have been detained In
Russia are apparently lost, according
to advices to the State Department
today.
The State~Department has list OF
all Americans who were believed to be
detained in Russia, but Soviet au-
thorities have stated that some OF
these Americans had no Identification
cards and II has been impossible for
the Soviet authorities to locate them.
The Soviet authorities are apparent
ly acting in good faith in this matter,
the State Department was advised,
and Litvinoff has agreed that the
names Of all Americans believed to be
in Russia will be published in Russian
newspapers in an effort to locate them
and to permit their departure from
Russia.
In view OF this the State Depart
ment will not attempt to hold up relief
work in Russia but has indicated to
the Soviet authorities that If 1t is
found that Americans are in Russia
who have not been permitted to leave
that the relief work will be immediate
ly stopped.
Royal c. Kelley, an industrial engi-
neer of New York and Chicago, who
failed to arrive at Reval with other
Americans yesterday is probably near
Petrograd, 1t was stated today. Kelley
was released from prison some time
ago and permitted to go. to Petrograd
, to study factory conditions and this
is believed to be the reason for his
failure to arrive at the borders with
other American prisoners.
The State Department was advised
that the Americans who arrived at
Reval were Y. b. Kalamatiano, Wes-
ton b. Estes, John NJ. Flick, Emmett

Charles A. Jones. sales, manager for

real estate for sale.
Today he has some property he Is
willing to give away. provided he can
find the owner. Sounds funny, but
it goes something like this:

Immediately notified headquarters to
look out for the stolen Buick roadster.
This morning. Mr.. Jones, having
philosophically given UP hope of re-
covering his property, visited the
Buick salesrooms on Fourteenth
street. He had decided to buy a
coupe. The old roadster had been
getting pretty dingy, anyway.
AS he was about to enter the place
his eye fell on a Buick roadster stand
ing at the curb. 1t was his own car
Someone had driven 1t eighty miles
had carefully filled 1t with gas and

Mr.. Jones will return to owner at any
time.
And here's another feature. A few
feet from where his car had been, Mr.
Jones ran across another Buick that
closely resembled his. He reported
It to, the police, believing that its own
er might have driven off the Jones
car by mistake.
The police found on Investigation
that the license tags on the, Buick
were issued for a Ford. They promptly
towed it to the First precinct station
Nobody had called for 1t at noon today
1t had not been reported missing.
Now the police have two mysteries
to solve:

2. Who spilled the beads?

The architect of st. Thomas
very rich Episcopalian Church on
New York's Fifth avenue is
abused because he put little ideas
of his own in the church carving.
Over the Brides Door," whence
occasionally an American railroad
presidents daughter energies to
marry a British peer, he put a
dollar mark, neatly done. He put
dollar marks and money bags
elsewhere, freely. The mark on
the. Brides Door" was at least
appropriate, as many railroad
fathers-in-law can testify. And
Robb, the architect, can show
precedent.
Notre Dame in Paris is orr:a-
mented with gargoyles that would
startle the st. Thomas vestry.
Devils are shown eating dogs,
horrible monsters enjoy them
selves all along the roof and else
where. The desire of the active
church is to arouse thought. Mr..
Robb did it.
A great Italian surgeon, inter-
viewed by the New York World,
says what has been said more
than once in this column, that
Caruso died because he ate fool
ishly when he was i'll. 1t was the
business of his doctors here to
prevent that. But one thing that
American doctors neglect too
often is diet, or no eating at all,
under certain physical conditions.
When the system is eliminating
poison it cannot at the same time
proftably assimilate food. Just
enough to keep life going, and
in serious cases no food at all,
only pure water, for ten days or
longer should be the order. The
body can well live for two weeks
or more on its tissues while fight
ing against poison within, and
this applies to a general peri
