Publicity Bureau
Work at Portland

Portland. Maine. Sept. 1-ApprOXi-
mately $1,000 foreign automobiles
carrying over 10000 people passed
the State Of Maine Publicity Bureau
headquarters. Longfellow Square,
Portland, between the hours of A.
NJ and p. NJ, from July IL to Au-
gust %, inclusive, according to
statement issued by the bureau. The
actual number of foreign cars, or
those from other states than Maine,
was $3.50. while the actual number
of people they contained was 1,143.
In addition, 314,323 Maine cars, carry
ing nearly million people passed the
bureau during the same period of
time.
Nearly $4,000 people called at the
bureau for information during the
same period, the only time during the
season that census was taken.
Many other thousands called prior to
July j.. and hundreds since. so it is
safe to say that over 10000 people
were handled at the bureau during
the past summer, all of them seeking
information about Maine.
OF the foreign automobiles every
state. except three. in the Union was
represented, these three being Wyom-
ing, Utah and Nevada. In addition
there were cars from the District Of
. Columbia, from Hawaii and Porto
Rico, and also from the Canadian
Provinces of Alberta, Manitoba, On
tario. Quebec. New Brunswick, Nova
Scotia. and Prince Edward Island.
Nearly 10000 letters asking for in
formation about Maine have been re-
ccived by the bureau during the past
summer.
The business of the bureau has
been so great that at one time during
the rush it was necessary to have a
staff of nearly dozen people in order
to take care of the correspondence
and to give out information.
The bureau has been tremendous
success and is SO we'll established that
it is now known all over North Amer
lea, as we'll as throughout Europe ana
other sections Of the civilized world.

Foodstuffs Used to Make Cloth
HEAVY

Every one who wishes to be warm
knows that it is necessary to eat, but
few realize how much body heat is
conserved by the goods we wear.
Even if price were no considera-
ton, it would be impossible to pro-
duce fabrics having all the charac-
tcr..:tics that modern fashions de-
mand from pure cotton, wool, or silk.
Consequently most fabrics are 'dres-
sed" or "frilled" and many of the SUBJ
stances used for this purpose are
foodstuffs. Flour. dextrin, glucose,
gelatinc, fats, oils, gums and even
glyccrine. all these are used as filling
materials. st
A cheap fabric is usually dressed
so that it may appear as heavy and
solid as one more closely woven. OF
course, in this case the filling mater
ials must be cheaper than the fair
itself Powdered gypsum or any
similar mineral substance, and
binding agent, such as starch or
-four arc suitable materials, and are
comparatively cheap.
Flour is the most used Of all agents,
since it contains gluten. and this has
such powerful adhesive properties
that if enables fat RIGS to be filled to
twice and treble their original weight.
Most housewives are familiar with
such fabrics, which, cfter their first
washing, resemble muslin.
In the case of expensive dress ma
terials their appearance and "feel-
ing" are more important than their
weight. so they are usually dressed
with oily matters, many of which
would otherwise have been eaten as
food. Olive oil is also used and IL Us

BRITISH CAPITAL SHOWS
INCREASED DRUNKENNESS

London, Aug. d2.-Drunkenness
is on the increase in London, since
the hours for the sale of alcohol were
extended last September, according
to the Scotland Yard report.
In this city of 100000 people the
weekly number of convictions for
drunkenness averages I'll, as against
42S before the increased hours.
Easter week in 1920 was the ban
ner week for the drinkers, however,
the report shows. for during that
week there were 7,171 convictions for
drunkenness, a record for London.
During 1921 there were 27,410
people convicted of drunkenness of
whom 5,43s were women. This to-
tai is 2,546 less than in 1920.

ceived from farmers who cooperated
with the extension division of the
College of Agriculture in having their
flocks culled as demonstrations for
interested persons in their commune
ties. In one typical CASE, the egg
production Of flock owned by J. w.
Alexander an Owen county farmer
living near Wheatley, was increased
despite the fact that ons third of the
birds in it were removed as culls in
the demonstration. This was partial
ly due to the fact that the remain
ing hens were allowed to utilize the
feed which originally had been given
to the loafer hens. The 80 hens that
were removed as culls produced only
one egg during the week after they
were removed.
