Towing mother who had died and left
three small children. The case was a
very sad n While the mother did
not have much of this worlds goods,
she did rave unlimited love and de-
votion, and the three children were
the jewels in her crown. They were
her life. her hope. and her inspira-
ton She fell i'll and died. Her last
words were a prayer for the welfare
of her children, who were left desti-
fute. with no guide, no protector, no
counselor. Her last thoughts as she
passed away we're for her children.

dren and that coffin, trying TO form
some consoiing, conclusion, the flow

song sung. the Methodist man almost
startled me by arising from behind
his pulpit and by making the asser-
zion that God in His wisdom had seen
fit to remove this woman from our
midst, and then he went on int told
us about the loving mercy, the char
ity, the goodness, and all that sort of
stuff about his Methodist God.
Just how he can get around the
corners and angles to make these two
propositions check out, is beyond my
comprehension. but he can do 1t to his
own satisfaction.

How Linen Is Made.

! please write some articles about
making linen, woolen and cotton fab
RIGS, just as you did about silk, not
long ago" writes a reader Of this COL
umn. I am glad to do as this letter
friend asks. and shall begin, today,
with the following facts concerning
| the making of linen:
Linen fiber comes from the stem of
the fax plant. This plant is an erect
stalk which grows from 20 to 40
| near the top, narrow leaves and tiny
| blue flowers. Flax has been grown
in Egypt for 5000 years. 1t is found
, today in many other countries, in
! Guiding Ireland, Belgium, Russia,
FRANCE. Italy. Holland. Canada and
| countries the fax plant prod g a
coarser fiber than In others, s. that
the linen cloth made from it is heavy
and coarse.
In planting tho fax for fiber. the
seeds are sown very thiokly on the
keeps the main stalks straight and
| unbroken, and prevents branching.
Flax is also grown for the seed it
produces. Flaxseed is used in max
ink linseed oil, linoleum and oilcloth.
! The pressed linseed cake is used as
feed for cattle. Flaxseed is also used
for poultices and In tea used for
medicinal purposes.
The flax plant requires much care
druing its growth. In Europe this
care Is given by women and children,
who go through the fields on their
hands and knees to weed the young
fax plants. When the flax is ready
to harvest, these diligent European
workers pull the plants out of the
ground with their hands and tie them
in bundles with the roots together.
The fax bundles are then hung up to
dry.
"Rippling" is the next step. This
is the process in which the seeds
and dry leaves are removed from the
end Of the flax stalk. In some coun-

and Mrs. Elliott Woods as chairmen.
The winters campaign will be open
ed Friday, September 29. at the

renee, organizing director OF Wash
ington's music weeks, will be the
speaker and guest of honor. Mr.. Law
renee will speak on music as a civic
asset. for promoting harmony in the
community and providing for rational
happiness. His talk will be illustrated
by lantern slides showing how music

universities and in every phase OF

tries this is done by hand, by two
men who sit at either end of bench.
In the center of the bench is a comb
with teeth IS inches long, through
which the fax stalks are drawn to
remove the seeds and leaves. In more
up-to-date countries. however, rip
pling is done by machinery.
"Retting" is now started. In this
process the outside, woody portions
OF the stem are decomposed so that
the inner part. or fax fiber, can be
gotten at. Retting is done in three
ways: G) By placing the fax stalks
on the ground and letting the sun,
dew and rain decay the outer layers
of the stalk; (2) by using steam and
to remove the outer layer;
(3) by placing the fax stalk in pools
where they may lie until the water
decays the outer layer.

These steps consist in removing the
decayed outer layer of the stalks
from the, fiber (Which lies inside the
stalk)- and then dividing this fiber
into Zine" Qong pieces) and tow"
(short pieces. which can be used only
in cheaper fabrics). The Zine" fiber
must now go through a process called
hacking" for the purpose of comb
ing and splitting it. Other processes
follow for cleansing and sorting the
line fiber, until at last it is ready for

'COLORED SCHOOL
SOON TO Be READY
Impression Prevails That This
Modern Structure Will be
Ready For Use on Monday,
October 20.


Unless something out of the ordi-
nary occurs, the handsome new color
ed school building will be used on
Monday, October 23rd, and it may be
said that it is second to none in the
state.
The furniture, which arrived some
time ago, is in the building but not
been placed yet for the simple fact
that there has been some delay in Sc
curing flooring. 1t is understood
though, that this will be furnished
during the early part of the coming
week and it will then be only short
time before it will be down. Had it
not been for the railroad strike the
building would have already been
completed as this has caused delay in
getting much of the material. Con
tractor S. Bruce Wright has made an
excellent job of the building and un-
der the supervision of w. c. Ander-
son everything in the material line
has been of the very best.

schools plan to 20 to Boston from the
Gorham conference to attend the an

asmuch as a greater number of the
superintendent would attend the
convention of the National Educa-
ton Association that they would hear
addresses on all kinds of subjects.
So the Gorham Conference Will be
on the round table plan. In other
words, the superintendent will get

important to the schools, interpreta-

Reckless Youth" starring Elaine
Hammerstein, the photoplay attraction
at the Colonial today, is from a story
by Cosmo Hamilton. This bare an

scribe the nature of the photoplay to
most people who attend the theatre or

Ccsmo Hamilton is a great student
or prescnt-day social conditions.
What he has to say in his books, plays
or interviews concerning the troubles
and near-trouoles Of married folks is
constantly making the front pages of
the daily newspapers. His remedies
sometimes approach the spectacular,
as witness his recent advice that tho
ideal married state would be one in
which husband and wife occupied sep
arate houses.
The Reckless Youth" story. like
most other things which Mr. Hamilton
has written. is a frank examination
and discussion of the intimate affairs
of girl who las a somewhat conycn-
tional, but entirely unjustifed. idea of
the married state and creates no end
