HOW TO SAVE MONEY
WHEN SHOPPING
BY MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN
III 9zap saptI ttpxaz ~ d ps1zz1
20, 1922, Harland H. AlIen)
TO TELL A GOOD PIECE OF
COTTON CLOTH

IF only | could ever be sure of what
am getting" cries the shopper who
has been made wary by disappointing
purchases.
Take cotton goods, now. Cotton, be-
ing the cheapest, is seldom aduter-
ated with any Of the other fibers. But
many poor piece of cotton cloth is
made to appear better and heavier
han it really is, by the addition Of
too much dressing. 9The spaces be-
tween the threads are filed UP, and
good finish is given to the material,
but the wearing quality is not in
creased. After washing, the cloth
loses both its weight and frmness.
This dressing can sometimes be
scraped up by picking at the surface
of the cloth with the finger nail, or by
rubbing the material between the
hands. Cloth that has a large guam
tity of this sizing in it will also feel
harsh and stiff to the touch A sure
way is to wash a sample of the goods
when most of the dressing will dis
appear.
1t is also a good idea to test the
strength of cotton goods by pulling
sharply at the edge of the material.
1t may have been weakened in the
bleaching process, or a bolt which has
been in stock a long time may have
become weakened by the action OF
some chemical used in the sizing or the
dyes. A good way to test the strength
Of d material is to place the thumbs
together and press them down hard
holding the cloth tight underneath, and
noting how much strain it will bear
The firmness of the weave, and the
quality of the fiber are also important
points to consider Holding the cloth
up to the light and looking through it
will show whether the weave is close
or not. To judge the quality of the
fiber all you have to do is untwist a
thread of the cloth and notice the
length of the separate tibers A long
fiber always indicates strength, and,
therefore, good wearing quality.
In choosing between two grades Of
cotton cloth, it is frequently wise to
consider the additional wearing quail
ity you can get for few cents addi-
tional cost. Often a piece of goods
costing only two or three cents more
will wear four or five times as long
as the cheaper material. OF course,
this is not always true, as sometimes
the extra cost is due simply to the
novelty of tie design or color.

SURVEY INDICATES OUR
POPULATION OVER $500
Continued from page u

faculty members, and with the hotels,
every cottage at City park and all the
other tourists parks filled, and with
hundreds of other vacationists living
in tents in the parks. it is not un-
reasonable to estimate that our extra
summer population is at least 1000.
Probably $500 would come nearer
the right figure,
It is to be hoped that when the next
federal census is taken it will be
handled in such thorough manner
as to insure an actual total count. In
the last enumeration it is reasonably
certain, partly because much of the
work was done by persons unfamiliar
with the city, many who have homes
here which they occupy at least two
thirds of the year were missed, be-
cause at the time the count was taken,
the dead of winter, they were not
here but were in winter homes south
and on the southern sheep ranges.

TWO BOYS DROWNED IN
CITY PARK LAKE SUNDAY
CONTINUED from page y

o'clock, Is minutes after the search
ers organized, cry came from Baca
that he had located Garcia. Rex
Campbell carried the body ashore.
The boat about Is minutes later
brought to shore the body of Juarez.
Johnnie Thomas, Flagstaff high school
boy, located it. Rex Campbell again
dove in and brought the body to the
surface.
Both bodies were found in the cham
mel about 10 feet from the east shore
Of the lake, and were about five feet
apart. The depth at that point is
about seven feet.
Scratches on the bodies indicated
that both boys had put up game
struggle to save themselves. Garcia's
body was scratched around the chest
and forearms. Juarez had a small cut
near the left eye and bruises around
the chest and neck
The bodies were in the water too
long to use artificial means of restora-
The Coconino sun., 1927-07-22

ton.
It is believed that one Of the boys
fell from the raft and in an attempt
to save him the other boy dove into
the water and the struggle started
which later caused the death Of both.
Marshall Wilson, son of Mn. and
Mrs. Joe Wilson, identified both
bodies. Both had been his classmates
at Emerson school. Garcia had quit
early in the year, getting a permit to
work at the box factory of the Cady
Lumber corporation, where his father
is employed.
Jparez was the son of SeXto Juarez,
watchman at the San Francisco cross
ing of the Santa Fe railway.
Hard luck has been following this
latter family for many years. About
ten or twelve years ago DR.. Felix Man
lining amputated the fathers arm, fol-
lowing an explosion Of dynamite caps.
Some Of the younger Juarez boys had
got hold of some caps and threw them
into the kitchen stove. The father
saw them do it, and trying to save the
house from destruction, put his hand
into the stove, when they exploded.
About two years ago fire burned
the family home and left them penni-
less.
There are six other boys in the fam
lily.
Swimming at City park lake has
been forbidden for some time by an
ordinance passed by city council.
Signs are placed all around the lake
prohibiting swimming. The boys
clothes We're found near one of the
signs.
This made three drowned at the
lake since the city took over the park.
The first, about three years ago, was
the little son of Mr.. and Mrs. James
Fry.
The coroner's jury brought in a
verdict Of accidental death by drown
ing On the jury were Wild Raude-
baugh, foreman; 7. D. Jessu2Qe,
Henry Cooper, jim Treagle, H. v.
Sherman and Jake Brackor.
The funeral of Efren Juarez was
held at 4:3O Monday afternoon and
that of Hermelindo Garcia Tuesday
afternoon at 6:30, both from Church
of Nativity, Fir. Romero officiating.

FRANK THOMAS BROTHER
Is KILLED BY AUTO; MRS.
THOMAS MOTHER DIED

Joe Thomas, brother of Frank
Thomas and Mrs. George Nichols Of
this city, is dead following an acci-
dent occurring while he was trying to
aid tourists pull their car across the
Puerco, near Adamana. The car had
stalled, Thomas had hitched team to
it and was in front Of the car adjust
ing the chain to the car axle. The
horses had been trained to start
quickly, and when they felt someone
climb upon the wagon, they plunged
forward, pulling the car upon Mr..
Thomas, breaking his neck and crush
ing him. Milton Nichols, son of Mrs.
George Nichols, who was spending the
summer with his Uncle Joe, was with
him and saw the accident. Mrs. Mich
OILS and Mr.. Thomas left upon receipt
of news of the accident and remained
for the funeral. They returned Mon-
day morning, bringing their son Mil
ton with them.
Mrs. Frank Thomas was called at
the same time to st. Johns where her
mother, Mrs. Sol Waite, was very i'll
and died the following Saturday. She
was buried Sunday. Mrs Thomas had
spent much time during the past year
at st. Johns on account of her moth
er's failing health. Her father and a
niece, Miss Katie Raban, returned
with her to Flagstaff.
