Chicago. May 3.-The imperative

Capper Truth In Fabric bill to sup

tariff law for the protection of Amer.
lean wool growers was explained tn

Wyo. Mr. Wilson is secretary Of the
Wyoming Wool Growers association
and also governor of the National
Sheep and Wool Bureau of America
and 1t was at the office of the latter
organization that he was found. He
explained that he had just made 4
general survey Of the leading wool
growing states, of which his own is
chief, and declared that the outlook
for the American wool grower is ex-
tremely blue. He said;
More than a tariff measure Is need

protection. We need to have the

enacted and need 1t i'm u hurry Why,

tariff will protect the wool grower
from the secret competition of shoddy
--re-worked rags. Shoddy must ne
identified by labelling, so that the pep
pie will know what they are buying
and may choose between shoddy and
virgin wool. The Truth In Fabric bill
which has recently been introduced by
Congressman French and Senator
Capper, will compel textile manufac-
turers to label their all wool cloth
with its content of virgin wool and of
shoddy and will force the shoddy ven
ders out into the open. A mere mis-
branding bill. such as the Rogers bill,
would only prevent mis-branding, it
would not prevent branding in the
first place. 1t would allow the shoddy
vender to keep on hiding behind the

GOOD MATERIAL FOR BOILERS
Variety of Pumice Stone Is Coming
Into General Use in Japan-Has
Many Advantages.

"Koka Seki" is a variety Of pumice
stone which, as far as now known,
reports Vice Consul H. I. Goodier OF
Yokohama, is only found in the small
group of Niijima islands (New Is
lauds), which lie off the coast of the
Idzu peninsula, about ninety miles
south of Tokyo. Though used in
Niijima from ancient times as build
ing material, only comparatively re-
Gently has "Koka Seki" become known
commercially in Japan proper. Be
cause of its durability, high tensile
strength and capability of resisting
1900 degrees c. of heat, it is suit
able for boiler and furnace construc-
ton as well as inner Innings OF safes
and the manufacture of ice chests.
AS it is claimed, it can be easily cut,
will take a surface of paint or metal
plating, and as nails can be driven
in, it is thought that the uses of this
material will greatly increase. 1t is
however, in REINFORCED concrete barge
building in Japan that it is best
known.

CR0WDING THE SEA SERPENT

We believe but one sea serpent has
been sighted so far this season. Per-

weather has been hot enough to bring
our old friend to the surface, and no
doubt the frightened and delighted
visitors at shore resorts and those

New eoIdfleId in AFRICA.

Another goldfield has been discov-
cred in Eastern Akin which promises
untold wealth. King Oforiatta, VINO
was educated on European lines, first
secured the passage of laws similar
to those adopted in South Africa to
protect the country from exploitation.
fhe king then proceeded with his in
vestigations, but meanwhile a coloni-
al government survey party unex-
pectedly discovered diamonds year
ago. oforiatta, after year of re-
search work, now claims that he has
discovered that gravel deposits which
have been worked for gold for CEN
turtles lies over layer of clay, beneath
which is more gravel than that of the
top layer. Under his direction an area
exceeding an acre has been eXcavat-
ed. The king states that he is salts
fed that the indications point to the
existence of huge goldfields.

Flower Worth Small Fortune.

Ten thousand dollars is an extraor-
binary price for single plant; yet 1t
was paid by English horticulturists
for an orchid raised in America. the
Catteleya gigas alba.
This Catteleya was Powered in 1910,
and exhibited at an orchid show In the
United States, where 1t was awarded
a gold medal. The plant was found in
1909 In a lot of other specimens Of
Catteleya glgas. It was only by chance
that the plant was not sold for dol
lar or two. The only reason was that
after most Of It's companions had been
disposed Of this one. with some others
that were not In very good condition,
was set aside. Finally all the speci-
mems were potted.
To the great surprise of the horti-
culturists when, next spring. the plant
came up II was with pure white flow
ers. The plant was sold In London
for perhaps the highest figure that an
orchid ever brought.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU

more than million women have ac-
cepted this invitation. Now house
wives are TO be given an opportunity
to see what happenh to their family

October "a to 20 in this and every
other state of the union has been set
aside as Visit Your Laundry Week
going on the theory that the laundry,
as a promulgator of cleanliness, is
an important public service institu-
ton, as intimately associated with
the home as the bakery, the meat
market or the grocery, governors
have been asked to proclaim Laun-
dry week officially.
What are the conditions in the
laundry to which you send your fam
liz bundle? What are the processes
employed there in washing and iron
ing the garments which you wear
and the linens with which you dress
your bed and your tables? These,
the promoters of Laundry Week in
sist., are important questions, House
wives, they state, will find the an
swer to these questions in visit to
the laundry.
Laundries all over the country. it
is announced are Joining in the ma
ton wide effort to induce the public
to drop in and become acquainted
Local laundryowners assert that the
pubic generally has a very vague
conception of the progress which has
been made in laundry methods dur
ing the last few years. They feel
that with better acquaintance will
come greater confidence in the laun-
dry and the service which it is offer
ing.

British Museum overerowded.

The British museum, says London
writer In the New York Post, has
reached the end Of Its rope, so far as
space is concerned. BY the law Of
1890 every English author, whether
domiciled ar home or In the dominions.
is obliged to place two copies Of his
books with the museum, which in turn
guarantees to keep them in good con
ditlon and make them accessible to the
reading public The same applies to
newspapers. Space for the latter was
exhausted some time ago and spe-
cial barracks was built to store them
1t is now feared that the same plan
will have to be adopted for the books.

well on October IL and 10, 1921.
| The details of the convention are set
/ forth in the call.
ut is vital that the convention be
made a success as the future of the
auxiliary in this state depends large
ly upon the success and enthusiasm
manifested at its first departmental
gathering. National headquarters
of the American Legion is earnestly
and by every means in its power urg-
ing and aiding in the upbuilding of
a strong auxiliary as in it is recog-
nized one of the greatest sources Of
strength which the Legion can bring
to itself.
1.-The department is likewise doing
everything in its power to promote
the formation of this body. The con-
vention has been called and all ar
rangements are being made by the
citizens of Caldwell and by the de-
partment for an extensive gathering.
THE auxiliary is as yet undeyel-
oped in this state. Many posts have
no auxiliary. Many chapters now
organized are in a languishing con-
dition.
1.-THE department therefore re-
quests every post of the Legion to
give its utmost efforts towards the
formation of a chapter of the auxili-
airy in it's territory, if there be not
one already in existence. If there
is already chapter see that it is
Kept alive and active In as much as
the department convention has been
tional convention November 1, it IL
vital that the matter be pressed as
speedily as possible
1.-THE department makes the fol-
lowing suggestions:
% If a chapter is not already
organized, call a meeting at once of
all women eligible for auxiliary in
your vicinity. Give personal notice,
SO as to insure a large attendance.
Enlist the aid of prominent women.
Perfect a temporary organization
and elect officers.
(2) Provide only such rules and
bylaws as shall be necessary to form
the organization. It will be best to
wait until after the department and
national conventions before passing
D
as all matters of policy will then be
determined.
90 Send to the state adjutant
of the American Legion at Boise,
Idaho, list of members of the chap
ter, when formed and enclose a re-
mittance of rs cents per member for
department dues. Also send names
of officers.
ca Send informal application
for chapter. If others will be re-
CURED you will be advised later.
go In the case of auxiliary
chapter already organized, if they
are not active bring them to life.
Follow above suggestions.
go Important.-Aid these chap
tiers in every way. If they need help
financially. come to their assistance
if it is within your power. Above all
be sure that a delegate is sent to the
department convention and see to it
that she is not kept at home because
OF finances. Every community
should be interested in this.
Cd Complete instructions on or
ganization will be sent you as soon
as possible. In the meantime or
ganize at once and don't pay too
much attention to formalities.
Again the, department urges that
the matter be given immediate at
tention. We ask that you send us a
report of your activities.
The department officials are at |
your service. With your co-opera-
ton we must cucceed."
