CHEMICALLY CLOTHED

Chardonet produced a silk-like
fiber in France by chemical means
in 1884, but America knew little OF
it until 1910. Then cellulose chem
istry gave us modern rayon. This
great man-made textile now equals,
and perhaps excells natures age-old
fibers-silk, wool and cotton. Mer-
chants are displaying pictures of
young girls dressed in rayon from
head to foot" A triumph of rayon
is rayon-velvet cloth.
The newest dress materials and
ornaments are the Outgrowths Of
the modern research chemists
genius. Paris and New York designs
are created in rayon. Buckles, but
tons, ornaments for hats and heels
for ladies' shoes are being made of
Pyralin. They are enriched with
necklaces which look like pearl and
are manufactured chemically.
Chemical parenthod for raincoats
for women have appeared in many
attractive modes. The designs are
in alligator-grained, Fairfield fabric,
snakeskin, etc.
Thus the chemist in his laboratory
today is contributing almost as
largely in adorning the modern wo-
man as the most expert Partisan
cOuturier.

GIOrifying the Pen.

The earliest experiments in foun-
tain pens consisted of a hollow
tube of silver or other metal, the
tube being made so thin that it
could readily be compressed out of
shape and so cause an escape of ink
to the nib.
The stylographic pen with self
feeding reservoir of ink in the han
die was patented first in the United
States in 1879. Until a compare
lively recent time the barrels were
made of rubber and composition.
These have been succeeded by pyra
lin barrels. Ninety per cent of the
pens manufactured in this country
are now using this pyroXylin plas-
tic.
Progressive manufacturers have
availed themselves of the chemical
genius that created pyralin from
basis of cotton. AS a result the
market is supplied with fountain
pens in varied colors which include
green jade and burnt orange. These
pens, as a rule, are handsomely
executed and the pen points and
mountlngS are OF the very best ma
terial.
Government reports show that
three quarters of a million pounds
of pyroxylin plastic is being used
yearly in the manufacture of foun-
tain pens.
Extraordinary tests have been
made to show the ability of this
new material to Withstand rough
usage. A fountain pen dropped g.
900 feet from an airplane remained
intact and another pen thrown out
of the window of a 25-story build
ing lit on a cement sidewalk and
was picked up and returned to ser
vice without undergoing repairs.
The pyralin barrels of fountain
pens have a resistance of about 500
pounds per square inch.

The Old Way.

The earliest writing implement
was a pointed bodkin of metal,
bone or ivory, and it was used for
producing incised or engraved let
tiers. The quill pen showed up in
the early part of the seventh CEN
fury. Metal pens were known to
the ancient Romans but these old
boys didn't have much use for any
kind of writing devices. There was
not much advance in the direction
of pen making until 1922 when pat
ents were obtained for horn and
tortoise shelled formations in pen
nibs. The points were rendered
durable by pressing them into
small pieces of diamond, ruby and
other very hard substances, or by
tapping a small piece of thin sheet
gold over the end of the tortoise
shell. From such beginnings the
present methods Of manufacture
were evolved.

BROTHER HOOD
ASK z PERCENT
WAGE INCREASE

CLEVELAND, Oct. 81 &-The
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
will file tomorrow with every railroad
west of the Mississippi river a request
for a Z IL per cent wage increase,
w. G.. Lee, president of the trainmen,
announced today.
The present agreement with western
railroads expires March l, 1928. Mr..
Lee. in making the announcement
pointed out that King of the request
is laying groundwork for wage nego-
tiations, which it is hoped will be
completed before the present agree
ment expires.
Last year trainmen east and south
of the Mississippi negotiated z IL
per cent increase. Request of train
men west of the Mississippi for a
similar increase was turned down by
the railroads and went to arbitration,
the board refusing to grant the in
crease. Since then the yardmen have
been granted a 1-2 per cent raise.
The railroads have 80 days to
answer after filing of the request.
