The northwest's fuel supply stored
at Head of the Lakes docks is APP
proximately 3,00O,0 600 tons larger
than the tonnage recorded by midg
November last year. However, Mo-
yember and early December was 4
rush season last year and the receipts
were heavy during this period.
In any event the coal supply on
hand will be sufficient for the north
vests winter needs. dockmen said.
In spite of the heavy October re-
ceipts. Head of the Lakes coal docks
are less congested than at the first of
September. This Is due to a heavy
increase in the number Of cars
shipped to interior points. However,
the total shipments inland to date are
smaller than al the same time last
year
Fearing a coal shortage, dealers
were clamoring for coal last fall. This
year it is just the reverse. according
to dock operators.
A comparative statement Of re-
ceipts for the past four years issued
by the United States Engineers Office
here. shows that the coal receipts for
the 1921 'season up to October 81.

On the car being searched a spare
set of humble plates, differing from
the Minnesota plates displayed on the

Simple Tests for
Judging Worth
Of Fabrics

The value of fabric is dependent
on the textile fiber with which il
is made. Cotton is cheap, and is
therefore mixed with wool, silk or
linen to produce a cheaper fabric.
1t is simple matter to determine
whether a woolen fabric contains
cotton. Untwist a few of the
threads. A cotton fiber is rarely
two inches long, while wool fbers
may extend to three or more
inches.
Hold a fiber to a match fame.
Wool buns with difficulty and emts
an odor resembling that of burning
horn. Cotton burns steadily with a
much less distinctive odor.
If thread of the material is held
in boiling water which contains a
large amount Of washing soda and
some lime the wool becomes sticky
and dissolves, while cotton remains
and when washed has not lost in
strength.
Linen and cotton fbers are very
similar, since they are both obtained
from plants.
Linen fabric which is suspected to
contain cotton should be washed out,
dried, soaked in olive oil or
glycerine, and then pressed be-
tween plotting paper to remove the
excess of oil. Linen threads appear
brilliantly transparent while cotton
remains Opaque.

The orient has crept into the

extent that American girls are now
wearing mandarin coats fashioned If

the most elaborate which is shown
is heavily embroidered in silk and
gold thread butterflies and wisteria

A new window curtain is made OF

flowers of hues to harmonic with

broidery is employed as border OF
in panels, according to the taste OF
the designer. The coloring derived
from the heavy wool embroidery
makes overdraperies unnecessary. A
border design of roses is attractive,
while a three-panel design of old

ON ARMAMENT
Before War Army and Navy
Received 81 Cents of
Every Dollar
PAY % CENTS
FOR ALL WARS

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Nov. u
out Of every dollar being spent for
the cost Of the Government the
amount for the Army and Navy is
less than 10 cents. To be exact it
is 1877 cents
just before the World WARM
1913 as a typical year-the Army
and Navy got 81 cents out OF every
Government dollar That was a re-
duction from years previous, for in
1911 the allotment was almost As
cents. And ten years before that.
In 1901. It was 40 cents.
This OF course Is the cost OF main
tanning the Army and Navy. II is
the price the United States pays for
insurance It is the outlay required
for the upkeep Of a fighting machine
that Is ready at all times TO 90 into
action to protect American national
honor.
The price Of war is something else
again. That figure is much greater
around 93 cents of every dollar spent
by the Government. II is arrived
at by computing the cost of main
tanning the army and navy and add
ing 10 It tho interest paid on the ma
nonal war debt. the amount paid
for the retirement OF Government
war bonds and the sums allotted for
/ pensions and the care OF soldiers
and sailors.
This figure undoubtedly is that
with which the public is most famil-
ar. It is staggering sum that is
sighted by those who argue against
war. The trouble is that many
times It is confused with tho figures
that indicate the actual cost OF the
army and navy as going concerns
and their relative positions in the
national budget.
The approach OF the Conference
for the Limitation Of Armaments
makes the figures OF particular in
